INTERPOSE TOWER FALL 2014
North Chicago River Mixed Used Tower Prof. Ania Jaworska and Stewart Hicks
Interpose Tower
This interpose tower project was a conceptual project that borrowed distinguished elements from an existing tower(s) around the world. With the guidance of Design with Company founded by Stewart Hicks and explores the territory between the architectural and the literary, real and unreal, mundane and fantastic. The studio principles of building design and representation that explored through integrative analysis of program, site, structure, materials, mechanical systems and composition developed under the general theme of architectural technology. The design studio is formulated into two primary themes: 1.) Design approached through conceit of “technology,” 2.) The city of Chicago as a “context” in the broadest sense. And these two themes for the basis for developing a speculative proposal for a large building in the form of a tower. Introducing the “Chicago Frame” as the link between large scale buildings, technology and Chicago as well as exploring the possibilities of potentials and consequences. To build the knowledge of the building exercises, we are creating a catalogue of building pieces and strategies that will be used between the design exercises. Topics covered during these include, but are not limited to historical precedents, technical practices, contemporary aesthetic issues, etc. The design exercises will structure the formation of a cohesive strategy for a speculative building proposal and focus on massing, structural systems, programmatic distribution, site parameters, etc. Conceptual investigations of fundamental principles of the making of buildings, including structure, enclosure, circulation, program, site, and light. This project provide a means for the student to speculate on what typologies, such as a Mixed Use Tower, could be.
This studio is also devoted to exploring the co-themes of technology and the city of Chicago as they come together in Chicago frame buildings. In the studio, the frame is treated as an a priori fact like it is described in Colin Rowe’s essay, “The Chicago Frame.” The studio researches various Chicago frame buildings and their component parts through the lenses of base, body, top, skin, and shape. The act of design for the studio is introduced through aggregating the components identified in the research into novel configurations using a “what if ” question as the motivating force. Therefore, based on this principals, I have created the Interpose Tower that is located at Michigan Avenue and North of Chicago River (The Wrigley Building). The tower consist of eight different elements that I, other students created, the hybrid or existing building elements interposing with each other. By wrapping the tower with one skin but highlighting the open space with different arrangement of skin. Each of the tower’s form elements are carefully selected to compose solid-void-solid components. These formula create a consistent of public and office arrangement that also determined the function of the space which is shown in the section cuts of the tower. Finally, the project produce drawings that consist of the North and West elevation, two section cuts of the entire tower, an exploded axonometric with description of each elements, Split axonometric to show the view and activity of floor six, four distinguished floor plans that represent the program and activity of each space. Lastly, showing the catalogue of study model building pieces and strategies, Chicago River and North Michigan Model and “Chicago Frame” ninesquare grid study model.

As little as possible is the focus on this project lead by Thomas Kelley, principal of Norman Kelley LLC. The studio is concerned with researching and developing the smallest detail possible towards making the largest spatial and social impact. Unravel an architectural detail within your own living environment and study how its design informs your daily habits and rituals. The projects address complex concepts and principles of module and materiality, construction, and aggregation through physical models and advanced digital modeling.
by Chicago Tribune in 1927 submitted by Louis C. Using poplar wood cut from the wood shop, we constructed a framing model of designated home at 1” = 1’0” scale with the account for existing window and door openings. This wood model is able to be open in the middle and allow our design placed within the house model.
In this project, I am exploring the importance of Kitchen Island Cabinet became the essential space within the house to socialize, work, cook and other millions possible activities that could happen. So first, I am analyzing my own living environment and draw it in unfolded developed surface drawings technique that show the six surfaces of my space. Then create a diorama (physical model) of the living space to understand assembly of the detail and study its implications on existing context. Then I design, fabricate, and deploy my own detail within the kitchen interior. Studying the making of kitchen cabinetry and how its originally constructed in the space. My focus is the outlets since people tend to ‘hangout’ more often in this multi-function space that allows different activities happening in the same space by multiplying it. So in this case, I am multiplying the outlets into five each sides, allowing more busy activities happening in this space. Then in the end, we constructed a joint site model of a six-room house designed that was submitted from a catalogue book “Elegant Small Homes of the Twenties”

THE AVES LAND FALL 2015
South Chicago, IL Park Project Prof. Stewart Hicks and Sarah Dunn
The fall semester studio explores metropolitan public space through the design of a programmatically complex urban landscape. Lead by Sarah Dunn from The Urban Lab, this project, assume that the architect has a role in the production of both architectural and urban space in the city. Creating a park in a large urban environment that compliment the design and program that we are producing. By starting small and, in steps, getting bigger to maintain control of the effects and atmospheres that we produce. The project explore the possibilities of both design figure and field in an urban site.
The next step is to choose the rules that helped design the “Little Figures” that have been established to create a family, which are variations of Figures that looks related to each one but develop a differences and similarities between my figures. The features that can changes are height, width, articulation and more. The rules that my Little Figures have are: Curves lines, holes and arch extrusion. Then using the landscape, we developed an area for the Little Figure between the family of figures. Not only that, everything is designed based on these rules as well, for example, the furnitures, the shape of the room and more.
This studio project will also refine expertise from first and second year studios as we will develop and refine as a family of figures to control a series of architectural scale constructions. Then, we explore the possibilities offered by fields and deploy a series of field conditions and layer them into a real site to order a large urbanscaled space. The flicker between developing figures and fields in order to invent new formal and programmatic possibilities in the city at both small and large scales. By doing so, the project will orients toward the larger scales and increasing complexity of urbanism.
Since my focus on this figure is to create a land or park for birds, my landscape are base on rules such as nest-like ground, cover or hybrid of both. By doing this, I hope that the idea of conserving and maintaining the Aves Kingdom around the globe and offers to help raise the declining numbers of bird population nowadays but also keep it fun and educational for any range of age can be experience in this space. This park’s site is located and bounded by Browning Avenue to the north, 37th Street to the south, Rhodes Avenue to the west, and Vincennes Avenue to the east in Chicago, IL and only has three main entrance that ramp 15-16feet down to The Aves Land create more protected area for this birds. Also by using the color of sunset, and playing with that color to create a zoning, for example, the color of my “Little Figures” are white, but the holes or any opening will be painted as yellow, then my landscape is colored with pink, while the landscape for this little figures are painted gradient. Moreover, the flat area of this landscape at the top is colored yellow. By using this role, the gradient and landscape will be emerge as one and create a more unified park.
The first step that the project did was exploring the possibilities of this ‘Little Figures’ with two procedures: The additive and Subtractive, in physical model as well as 3D model. By repeating this process, that is not symmetrical nor complex, and the volume has to be a 75% maximum. This figure also have to be seen as three different parts that could be a result of trimming, stretching, differencing, scaling, and more.

INTERNALLY ARCHITECTURE SPRING 2016
South Chicago, IL Park Project Prof. Julia Capomanggi and Grant Gibson
Internally Architecture
In response to two essays, “The Developed Surface” by Robin Evans and “Junkspace” by Rem Koolhaas, this studio project lead by Grant Gibson from CAMEgibson, Inc., addresses the issue of contemporary public space through the development of a cultural venue, inserted into an existing interior urban fabric. In attempting to capture the dynamism of urbanity within novel architectural compositions, the studio recuperates industrial and interior design considerations as the basis from which all architectural decisions are made. Working from a series of design exercises on standard building features like furniture, interior finishes, and thresholds, the design approach is one that works from the inside outwards to more conventional architectural elements, to address the contemporary dilemma of the public interior. It assumes that opportunities for design invention emerge through the orchestration of varied constraints: in this case, the forces and systems that characterize the metropolitan context, a challenging mix of use requirements, and a diverse (and often conflicting) range of constituencies and user groups. Identifying and developing projective architectural media and sensibilities in which to address these rather abstract cultural forces and technical demands is the critical task within this studio. Along the way, it is expected that the studio will engage the impasses and possibilities in moving between the diverse scales of urban design and architectural design. In attempting to capture the dynamism of urbanity for architecture it will also confront the contemporary dilemma of the public interior, from the pragmatics of detailed space planning to the imagination of new forms of collective association.
Coined the Interior Urbanism Studio; in recent history, Arch 366 has addressed metropolitan public space through the development of a “Very Big Building” with a complex program spatially compacted in a relatively small central urban site. With focus on From Bigness to Thickness, the studio projects were safely positioned within the architectural genre of “Bigness”. While this version of Arch 366 will still engage the difficulties present on the shift of scales between urban and architectural design; it will seek to move past tendencies to mimic OMA’s formal logics like “Strategy of the Void” or “Unraveling”. In such compositional methods, a whole (often a proposed building massing) is first required and then manipulated upon, filled with activities and decor. It is an outside-in approach, an exercise in stuffing shapes. Seeking to advance the very same goals of past studios, this year’s studio will flip that approach inside out. In this project we address the issue of public space and the design invention of an interior urban space within a facility for people with dementia. Within a set of requirements, I am looking at the importance of a dining room at a Elderly House can be an important value to bring people together. Where this Elderly Dining Room use a geometrical pattern that changes shape and size toward the corner and keeping it see through so people in other space can have the ability to view the activity that is happening in this room. Not only the use of shape, the use of color wheel to unified the shape and element together smoothly and continuously. The importance of the panelling system also can be seen where the positive and negative panel happening with the corner to be the center where it meets. These panels are also have some pattern that might combine the pattern or have the parallel with the pattern behind it.

THE CLOUDSCAPE SPRING 2017
The Loop, Chicago, IL Park Project Prof. Dan Wheeler
Cloudscape
The subject of this inquiry will be our vision of an urban public refuge, a sanctuary, that consciously attends to the five senses. We will design and develop a space that is visually appealing and physically comforting, with calming sounds, delicious tastes, and pleasant aromas.
The end goal of the studio is for each student to discover a touchstone of who he or she is by portraying a powerfully compelling, poetic, and viable gift to the city of Chicago. Each creation incorporates a part of the student’s sense of self, while at the same time it promotes development and change by providing an inclusive refuge for city dwellers and visitors.
Historically delivered as a vessel for and of religion: a temple; currently, there are multiple forms and interpretations of contemporary refuge. For one person, a refuge is a space filled with emptiness, for another, it is a space replete with items that connote peace and harmony. Our premise is that with the dramatic increase of stimuli all around us in the world today, we long for an authentic oasis, and a reductive focus to the visceral, a primal and sensual experience. There is an element of customization to personal preference, necessitating some flexibility and adaptability to meet individual needs to retreat, refresh, and retool. Our chosen site, covering 1314 square feet, is characterized by potentially wonderful opportunities and terrible pitfalls in the location and environs. Categorically, it is one of the most prominent, exposed, and historic sites in Chicago, although it is currently an underdeveloped and overlooked by-product of concrete urbanization. Our task is to find a redeeming purpose for this site, giving it gravity and a heartbeat. We seek to create a space that is at the same time meaningful and interpretative, supportive and comfortable, open and protective.
