A Cenotaph for Thomas Jefferson Group: Man Hu, Luis Marrero Professor: Pezo von Ellrichshausen
The Jefferson Cenotaph is located east of Northerly Island’s halfway point, and is accessed by a platform that begins at the edge of the beach and extends into a round plaza above Lake Michigan, upon which the building stands. In terms of the building’s exterior aesthetics, classic architectural elements such as symmetry, order, and monumentality are what dictate its façade, which is cast in concrete, thus reinforcing its robust appearance. The interior, however, is very much the opposite of what one would expect when approaching a building with such imposing characteristics. Upon entering the building’s central nave, by way of its massive staircases that flank around the building’s exterior, the visitor’s arrive at a grand and open space at the halfway level; characterized by a skeletal structure that allows for a very fluent circulation space, which in turn creates a direct visual connection with each level. At this point, visitors can use the interior staircases or elevators to descend into the underground forum space, or ascend into the building’s highest level, which serves as a vantage point.

Comparing many kinds of height proportions, my partner and I decide to use 3 level temple with the proportion of 1:1:1 as the basic shape of our cenotaph. We also switch the fragment of each level to find out the most appropriate shape.

The Institute for Fabrication and Maker Technology Group: Man Hu, Noelle kwak, Yue Qin Professor: Samuel Hertig
The Institute for Fabrication and Maker Technology is committed to providing a unique and collaborative environment to design, display, and develop. The community is encouraged to bring their ideas to life through the fabrication and makers’ workshops. This unconventional lab encourages exploration of ideas by providing spaces for collaboration as well as the observation of other captivating minds at work.

Our proposed design consists of two separate yet connected buildings; the Institute for Fabrication and Maker Technology and a residential building. The Institution portion has a bold shifting horizontal faรงade while the residential building is a simple square-like plan extruded vertically, acting as an anchor to the entire site. Our Institute for Fabrication and Maker Technology is enclosed in a combination of double glass faรงade and single glass faรงade with different degrees of transparency floor to floor. To complement this light faรงade, the residential building has a limestone panel system with two public levels that are more transparent and enclosed with glass.

Monastery Group: Man Hu, Luis Marrero Professor: Pezo von Ellrichshausen
The monastery’s overall layout was essentially designed around the concept of three lines: two of them connect with each other perpendicularly, in order to form an L-shaped building; while the other, based on a subtler diagonal axis that intersects the connection point between the former two, suggests an informal but evident connection with the mausoleum at the top of the hill. Upon entry into the monastery’s central nave – located at the point in which both the horizontal and vertical axes of the building connect – the first element that was placed was the main church, which towers over the rest of the building. Its location serves as the dividing point between the spaces and rooms that are of a more serviceable and collective-activity nature, towards the South – such as the dining hall, kitchen, workshops, library, chapter house, school, farm, and orchard -, and the more individual, reflective, and “passive” spaces, towards the East – such as the dormitories, cloister, meditation spaces or prayer rooms, a small chapel, etc. A small house for wanderers or visitors is located to the side of the monastery’s main entrance; it is part of the property, but is completely detached from the monks so as not to disturb or interrupt their work.

Cutting House: Live and Work Residential Design Professor: Karla Sierralta

In response to Detroit’s decline in industry and population, the creation of an industrial strip was inspired. The Packard Motor Plant’s site will be the first prototype that will be repeated along this corridor reaching to Belle Isle. Within the Packard Plant boundaries, the composition of the initial site sets up the entire corridor for repetition and connection. Industry is defined through the making process. Making can be broken down into different phases: research, design, test, assemble, and sell. These components of the making process can be relayed into their programmatic equivalent: education center, innovation center, prototype facility, factories, and market. The change in scale from the Packard Motor Plant to the proposed industrial corridor is a result of the change in outgoing product. Scaling down of the site lends to a more personal making process. The individual approach directly parallels the current DIY Movement happening in Detroit. What structure remains on the site is determined by what currently exists with minimal to no damage and decay.

In order to keep the identity of the old building and make new creation, I use the most beautiful triangle facade form of the old building as the prototype of windows. Then distribute the windows like the painting of Heinz Mack’s art work. Later, apply this pattern system onto the landscape design as well.

unit 1 individual work: population and schools
QGIS Map Making We then tried to identify and compare both the areas in terms of three major categories which are population density, housing density and schools. We also tried to identify the various ways in which the areas are similar or dissimilar in relation to each other. Based on our analysis in terms of housing density, we noticed that Lincoln park was more denser, had more number of buildings which were smaller in size when compared to hyde park. We also tried to relate the same information to the prices of the housing and came to a conclusion that lincoln park had more expensive houses when compared to hyde park.
