MUSICIAN’S RESIDENCE PARC BALBI VERSAILLES, FRANCE SPRING 2012 PROF. JEAN-BRICE VIAUD This residence is located on a square plot of roughly 40 by 40 meters in size. Bordered to the north by the Balbi gardens and the Piece d’Eau de Suisses to the west, the area is characterized by grassy expanses, trees, and the low-lying stone wall that surrounds the site.

SUITE DETAILED FLOORPLAN
DESIGN CONCEPTS Focus was placed on the peaceful assimilation of the building into its context and preserving the existing language of the site established by the bordering stone wall. The grid established by the scale of the suites quickly became an important design device that was strictly adhered to, emphasized by the exposed beam systems, repeating stone columns, and overall modular design. The simple forms of the building were enriched through the rhythmic layering of shadows and light, brought about by shading wooden louvers, layers of sheer curtains, and skylights placed adjacent to walls to allow sunlight to illuminate them. In the main building, guests are drawn along the main circulation path, with the practice room as the final destination. Stone walls with cutouts allow for framed views into other spaces. Extensive use of moveable elements such as folding wooden screens, sliding glass doors and the adjustable canopy in the courtyard allow for residents to have a flexible relationship with the outdoors and natural sunlight that can change as they see fit.
STRUCTURAL CONCEPTS A grid of exposed wooden beams carries throughout the entire building. Spans between walls are greater in the half of the building that comprises the public spaces, so a two-way system of beams is used. In the suites, a oneway system is used due to the shorter spans needed. Nonstrucutral curtain walls keep out weather and transfer wind loads to adjacent masonry walls, floors and roof. Gravity loads of the beams and roofs are handled through a grid of stone columns. Lateral stability is handled by a series of stone shear walls. Floors are wooden, placed upon a slab-on-grade foundation.

SQUARE LOUIS MAJORELLE PARIS, FRANCE FALL 2011
PROF. ALEJANDRO LAPUNZINA IN COLLABORATION WITH JULIETTE ZIDEK & ALLISON ZUCK
This is a project meant to house the rotating and permanent collections of VIA, an organization that promotes excellence in contemporary French furniture design. The site being considered is a long, narrow sliver of land facing the Square Louis Majorelle in Paris’ 11eme arrondisement. This project was an exploration of numerous ideas, starting with the approach. Visitors are drawn in with a transparent, crystalline façade made more private through a rhythmic application of wooden slats that grew denser in zones requiring greater privacy. Organization was centered around a central atrium in order to orient the visitors during their visit. The overall form of the building took cues from the irregular parti wall behind the site, carrying its breaking point through to the front of the building as two articulated cracks through which people entered. This motif of passing through two narrow planes was carried throughout the design of the entire building.

SPRING 2012
PROF. JEFF POSS IN COLLABORATION WITH CAMILA ESCUDERO, YULDUZ NURIDDINOVA, MARION NICOLI, & RACHA EL KHOURY
The spirit of Greenbox Week, a yearly partnership between the ENSAV and the abroad U of I students, is in designing sustainable, efficient architecture.

MODEL VIEW 2
This year, the task was to create mobile, compact and quickly assembled units for protestors in the “Occupy...” movement. For my project, the program was sleeping units. The honeycomb form chosen lends itself well to interlocking and communication, both between “cells” in the bed structure as well as entire units. The entire unit unfolds from a 2m x 3m trailer bed, sleeping 6 in a pull-down bed frame constructed in a similar manner to a scissor lift. Beds are stowable to free space during the day. Materials chosen were recycled wood, light aluminum, and compact insulation. A principal criticism of the occupy movement is its lack of unity and credibility. To address this, each unit was printed with a pattern representing a “dream” home in the local vernacularin America, a brick house with a white picket fence and lawn, etc. It symbolizes the shared origins of the protestors, establishes uniformity, and serves as a subversive reference to the forsaken dreams of the working class.

PROF. ADAM GIMPERT IN COLLABORATION WITH HÉLOISE MARCHAND & CÉSAR TRUBLARD
FIRST FLOOR PLAN
The objective of this project was to develop a building in Paris’ 18th arondissement that encompasses the concept of intertwining. A covered pedestrian passageway was designed as a way to knit together foot traffic on the Rue Duhesme and Rue Mercadet. A continuous system of interlaced steel members fold in reference to the surrounding buildings, while symbolically representing the purpose of the space as an intertwining between the two streets as well as a social crossroads.

DISSOLVED HOME
PERSPECTIVE SECTION
SPRING 2011
PROF. CAMDEN GREENLEE The Single Unit Home was an assignment to design a small home based around a program with strict size requirements on a set structural grid. In response to the small space given, the approach taken was to essentially dissolve as much of the building’s mass as possible. The building uses as few solid walls as possible, dividing space instead with elements such as sliding partitions, fireplaces and furniture. The aim was to create a breatheable, open experience, furthered by the of slatted materials, large windows and translucent partitions. Obtaining ample amounts of natural light in all spaces was a primary concern. Special care was taken to preserve the openness in the private quarters while still maintaining a sense of intimacy.
