In collaboration with the Mastic Beach Conservancy, a community-led non-profit organization, the studio explores questions of site, material, and environment. Mastic Beach exists at sea level and occupies an edge between water and ground and is a coastal community in flux. The temporal and experiential dynamics of this environment guide a multiscalar design framework that foregrounds care, maintenance and education about climate adaptation and cultural resiliency. The studio fundamentally engages with issues of access, climate and social justice, and empowerment for the local community which was severely inundated by Superstorm Sandy in 2012 and continues to experience the storm’s economic and ecological impact. In the context of global warming and increasing extreme climate events, the studio considers new forms of mutualistic interaction between natural elements and the built environment. 2

We want to propose our prototype as a catalyst to raise consciousness about the areas of Mastic beach restoration project. This strip of beachfront is unique and rare in long island because its 6.5 mile of publicly accessible beach amidst a rich, privatized beachfront that require permitted access. So we identify our project not only as prototypes for leisure but also mediums to promote social justice and democratically accessible beachfront and water.

By providing a changeable, temporary, transformable infrastructure, it opens up possibilities and acknowledges the unpredictability of climate change such as rising water and temperature fluctuation. It will become a platform that reactivate the lives of Mastic beach, and revitalize the historical leisure space back to this place. Finally, it updates the notions of leisure, and what it means to build on the water to address the needs of contemporary environmental challenges.

Instructor: Ada Tolla, Giuseppe Lignano Location: Morningside Park, New York Spring 2021
The Makergraph Studio brings our attention to thinking-by-making. The emphasis on making highlights embodied experience for both architectural object and architectural subject. Through making, the studio reiterates the sectional line that traces the controversial 1968 proposal for a Columbia University Gymnasium in Morningside Park. This ultimately unbuilt structure illuminated structural inequities in Morningside Heights and Harlem; and was a catalyst for the 1968 student movements at Columbia University, in which students of architecture were critically involved, and that were part of the people’s movements inherited by today's activism, including the Movement for Black Lives. In this studio we investigate the construct and construction of the monument—an architectural artifact that asserts actions of memorialization and valorization. Because of my obsession with motion, mechanism comes along with physical models. I want to make something illustrates not only the motion but also speed and rhythm. I experiment with my material of choice, steel wire, trying to find its materiality, its mechanism, its scale, its limit and its language. Being extremely thin and rigid, steel wire can provide substantial structural support within minimal footprint, addtion to that, the materiality of resistance within steel can tolerance a great amount of deformation. These characteristics visualize tension, rigidity and transparency in the artifacts I produce.

“the birth of the reader must be ransomed by the death of the Author.” -Roland Barthes

The studio will address São Paulo Museum of Art designed by Lina Bo Bardi to double its surface. What is at stake is to design in conversation with, take position on a building and the arguments it advanced and to tackle a long-standing question within the field again half a century later.

| Op e n Wo rk |
Half a century ago, architecture became open-ended and building would change and grow just like cities. Architects embraced impermanence promoted flexibility, timed obsolescence and welcomed uncertainty, just as Umberto Eco proclaimed the birth of the open work and Roland Barthes pronounced the death of the author. Architects also questioned authorship and pioneered new building types in unprecedented ways by openly discarding programs. Design theories for open-ended buildings almost all implied free plans and modular units as well as building components discriminated by their rate of renewal; Fram and clipon, core and capsule, structure and envelope. After the mid-60s, some projects were demolished against architects’ will, some preserved against the buildings’ principles. Today some stand for the arguments they promoted, some for the doctrines they attacked.

Tr a ns iti o n al Ge o m e trie s Hollow Sh in g le s Instructor: Joshua Jordan Fall 2020
This class encouraged exploration and development in abstract study of tiling principles, which looked at different tile-able ‘frame’ conditions, and means of development was from iterative feedback in fabrication. Inspired by the geometry of traditional shingles, I developed a tile system that explores the organizational, aesthetic and experiential performance of geometric tiling and its relationship to architecture. Also practicing the process of model making focusing on materiality and scale associates with molds that includes 2D and 3D development, modeling, fabrication and documentation.

DIE BMW NIERE. ZEICHEN DER ZEIT.
We live in a complicated time, a time with lots and lots of information. In this kind of era we pursue simple. Simple products, simple life. In this circumstances we get rid of a lot of things to make everything simple. Our architectures tell the same story as well. We use these spaces to interpret our intention. It’s a language we are using and it becomes our expression. Because of simplicity, products no longer can they tell their emotions. As we are pursuing a simple life, it seems like that we agree to restrain our feelings. So I tried to think all over again how architecture can interpret ourselves. Long before we know how to be efficient in everything, there was a period of time when people have crazy imaginations. During industrial revolution, the blossom of machines have all kinds of expressions. We can tell their purposes blatantly just from these postures. It shows how people dreamed about the future. I think this is the way I want to try representing our expression. As my intention is to present ourselves, the best way to identify ourselves is our houses. First I try to find some connection between mechanism and architecture.
Transmission Transmission is about scaling the force and get as efficient as possible.
Hinge Due to limited spaces, hinge provides more possibility for paths in different directions.
Trigger Trigger is time-related control in order to adjust its frequency. - Mechanisms and mechanical devices sourcebook by Neil Sclater & Nicholas P. Chironis

Children’s Room :
Sometimes we want to be along and isolated. Like being on a ferris wheel. We escape from reality temporarily and enjoy our fantasy in the sky. The ferris wheel lets us live between reality and fantasy. Every time the door is shut, the spring tightens a little. Until we decide to lock the door, the room raises to the sky. At last the timer release the room slowly back to reality.

Stair Case :
When we are using stairs we contain emotions by where we come from or destination. It is presented by different temple, frequency, force. Every force and speed we put on to the stairs make different noises. The springs carry through the force we put on every step and effect the gear’s rotation speed. Which effects 3 different component of the music box, each make different noises.

Dining Room :
Although we live as individuals, we start every day together as a family no matter what each day is going to bring. It’s like a celebration we have. The breakfast table I imagined, presents the overlap and balance of the family. When one sits down, the light from the roof tilts away from the center. At the same time, a personal filter rotates in. this changes the lights attributes.

Climate Container :
The outside world penetrates in with the environment. The window plays as a container which filtrates what we want and what we don’t. Rain and wind are the obvious factors that I take into consideration. The rain is collected and processed to be observed and used inside. The wind is also filtered and transfered into a certain room.
