FOREWORD
Founded in 2016, this seventh issue of TECHNE serves as a celebration of the remarkable achievements of our students and faculty. Amidst the backdrop of pressing global concerns, the Department of Architectural Technology remains steadfast in its commitment to cultivating an innovative, inclusive, and nurturing community. In an era defined by a growing awareness of social inequities and escalating climate crises demanding sustainable solutions, our department endeavors to equip students not only for architectural practice but also for leadership roles in shaping a more equitable and resilient built environment. Over the past year, I have had the privilege of witnessing the determination, creativity, and spirit that our students exhibit in pursuit of this vision.
Throughout their academic journey, our students delve into the intricacies of architecture, exploring the nuanced interplay between concept and form while navigating through the realms of theory, history, technology, and practice. They confront the contemporary challenges of climate change and social justice, while more recently, beginning to grapple with the ethical implications of emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence. This past year has highlighted the importance of considering the ethical dimensions of technological advancement, signaling a crucial step forward in our collective understanding and approach to the ever-changing practice of architecture.
Within these pages, you will encounter a diverse array of projects that exemplify the talent and vision of our students. From conceptual designs to tangible solutions, each project offers a unique perspective and a compelling narrative. Whether reimagining urban landscapes, revitalizing existing buildings, or embracing innovative technologies, our students demonstrate a profound understanding of the power of architecture to inspire, connect, and transform.
Each project is a testament to the passion, dedication, and ingenuity of our students, as well as the guidance and mentorship provided by our faculty. I am immensely proud of our students and faculty for their unwavering commitment to excellence. Together, we strive to inspire, educate, and empower the next generation of architectural leaders.
To all the students whose work is featured in this publication, I extend my sincere congratulations. Your perseverance has not gone unnoticed, and I have no doubt that you will make significant contributions to the field of architecture in the years to come.

Letters are not only a form of language but also an identity. The people of this neighborhood only exist to this day because they stuck to their identity. The purpose of this project is to turn Hebrew letters into architectural forms in Jerusalem, Israel. The letters are used to design spaces that give back to the community. Two of the most important components are the loan free fund center (GEMACH) and the new light rail station.

After the end of the war, Ukraine will eventually join the European Union and this will cause the growth of the country’s economy by attracting international investors to open their businesses there. Ukrainian people would also want to move away from the past Soviet architecture that symbolizes the oppressor. Therefore, I believe that instead of rebuilding the buildings the same as it was before; a new mixed-use building complex including a museum to commemorate war victory, and a new European Union Peace Center will be necessary for the city of Kyiv to

community of West Harlem, also known as Manhattanville is one of the many diverse communities in New York City. Being a commuter city, we find that there many above ground train tracks in many neighborhoods. While the train is a necessity, there is much space that is lost and inaccessible to the people in the community. Propsing an elevated park to be built over the West Harlem 1 train line creates a space for people to use and call theirs.

The Barrios Bajos Rebirth
STREET TYPE 1
Barrios Bajos are defined as the informal settlements that occur in the highly populated areas of a city. These informal settlements consist of densely packed housing units that are usually made of weak materials due to the poverty status people live in. The infrastructure in the Barrios Bajos are very deteriorated, sometimes even incomplete and most of them lack urban planing, secure land tenure paved sidewalks and roads, local job opportunities and last but definately not less important, safe spaces for bike users and pedestrians. Curently, the Barrios Bajos consist of a complicated and unsuccessful city grid. Additionally, as a cause of all the informal settlements and lack of urban planing in the past years, now there is an overpopulated situation where most houses have squalid living conditions, poor structural quality and a terrible land distribution among all the housing units.

As the largest source of open land in the country, national parks are critical to the quality of life for all Americans. National Parks also serve a crucial role in maintaining ecological biodiversity, which support the economy and provide us education and cultural preservation. While the parks have critical environmental and economical benefits, it is important to acknowledge the challenges that our parks are facing. This thesis exploreshow architecture can aid in the preservation and conservation efforts done to help our parks in hopes of protecting and enhancing America’s national parks for present and future generations.

The goal for my thesis project is to create a spiritually influenced transit hub for believers in buddhism and visitors that wish to learn. I will be proposing an airport that provides direct connections to monasteries in the region. This journey serves as a transition from my site to various monasteries .The orientation center will serve as a starting point providing an introduction to buddhism and is also where you can choose the journey you wish to take.
The proposal will provide Kora (a full journey) around the site reinforcing the theme of an endless knot. Traveling throughout the site you will be able to encounter connections back to the natural environment , a sermon hall , cave temples , and spiritual connections with people. With a capacity for 4,000 visitors in the airport and 1,000 room keys, believers and visitors alike will be able to explore their spirituality and learn about a new culture comfortably.

1101 INTRODUCTION TO ARCHITECTURE
Understanding architecture is achieved by developing a visual literacy of New York City’s built environment. Using the city as a living laboratory, students explore concepts of design, composition, and construction by sketching and writing about their direct experience of buildings. Focus workshops on freehand drawing techniques, basic drafting skills, graphic standards, 2D and 3D composition, writing about buildings and their construction, and reading architectural drawings are central to this course. Students develop graphic skills and the basic foundation to talk, write, and graphically express architecture and its construction.

1101 COLLEGE NOW SUMMER 2022
ARCHITECTURE & URBAN DESIGN IMMERSION PROGRAM
College Now at City Tech guides well-qualified high school students interested in pursuing architecture degrees through exploring concepts of design, composition, construction, and advocacy in the context of the city through their direct experience of buildings and sites. The program uses New York City as a living laboratory to contextualize and comprehend forms and experiences of different neighborhoods and communities through the cultural lens – of architecture being influenced by cultural complexity and how it can shape our environments. The course frames these issues through multiple layers of documentation and representation learned from lectures, workshops with guest lecturers, laboratory work, and hands-on fieldwork/ weekly trips.
It is assumed that students entering this class have no architecture background and no drawing experience. Therefore, drawing assignments begins with simple exercises that become more complex as the weeks progress. Students are evaluated by their determination and improvement during the program and their ability to grasp an understanding and represent the built environment graphically, verbally, and in writing.

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN VIII
Environmental sustainability is explored as the focus of the studio to benefit both occupants and the environment while investigating material consumption, thermal comfort, and energy practices. A bioclimatic design approach is assumed to tie how we interact with the microclimate and pursue thermal comfort and delight with lowcarbon solutions. To determine the bioclimatic performance, the studio incorporates quantitative methods throughout the design process, especially concerning the site, building form, spatial organization, and façade system. Students, as a team, work through a series of design reviews and workshops to develop a project that addresses performance criteria. Students integrate their full knowledge of life safety systems, structural systems, environmental control systems, and envelope systems and assemblies, while adopting the measurable outcomes of building performance in the course.

The primary goal of this design is to provide people with a walkway that includes some seating. I was primarily focused on how I might create an experience that offers both mobility and immobility when I was constructing this project. It was crucial to incorporate a corridor into a straightforward seating area because of this.
Location: 300 Jay Street
This pavilion provides seating where people may relax and a 14-foot-long pathway that creates interesting shadows.

4781 STRUCTURES III
The course focuses on the student’s mastering of the structures curriculum through an integrated design problem incorporating the fundamental materials of wood, steel and concrete into a single building structural package. The package includes all drawings, details and calculations to resolve a simple building with a long-span structure. Students utilize Building Code based performance criteria such as live and dead loads, wind load, snow load and seismic load to develop accurate structural components, connections and systems.
The assignments during the course of the class are designed such that they build upon each other, progressing from simple sketches and rule-of-thumb calculations to the complete structural package. During the first half of the semester, each week students attend a lecture and demonstration of the drawing and calculations by the professor, and the students complete a similar exercise as assigned homework. During the second half of the class the students design a simple building and incorporate the material learned in the first half of class into the components of the design, culminating in the development of a structural package that describes and calculates all of the necessary components of the building footings and foundations, columns, beams, frame, roof structures and any other necessary elements.
