DEAN’S NOTE We are delighted to present the issue number 4 of our School of Architecture and Design’s annual publication at NYIT, “Atmosphere.” These difficult and challenging times for all of us have affected our lives and the priorities of our community at the SoAD. We are particularly proud of the strength and adaptability demonstrated by our students, faculty, administrators, staff, alumni and friends who have been able to convert limitations and issues into opportunities to proactively rethink, reinvent, experiment and transform pedagogies, teaching modalities and learning experiences. We have proved an extraordinary resiliency and a remarkable spirit of collaboration, care and understanding. We have been able to creatively focus on our educational offerings and maintain the high quality of learning experiences for our students and faculty. This would have never been possible without a truly collaborative effort, generous mutual support and continuous and coordinated action of proactive and flexible planning. The work presented in this new issue of “Atmosphere” continues to speak for the evolution of a transformational path that the School has embraced, the knowledge built upon the exploration of emerging technologies, and the awareness of a shared system of values enhancing human interactions beyond limitations. Here is a selection of the work done in our studios and courses across all levels within our undergraduate and graduate programs, design workshops, community projects, collaborative and multidisciplinary research initiatives, extracurricular activities, lectures and events, which establish a diverse and coherent dialogue through the pages of our SoAD publication. Promoting creative and critical thinking, preparing our students to be the innovators of tomorrow and leaders in their professional fields, capable of shaping a more inclusive and sustainable society through their work and beliefs, are the main foci of our mission. They will then not only adapt to the change, but also proactively foresee, and positively act, within it.

ASSOCIATE DEAN’S NOTE The fourth volume of Atmosphere documents the evolution of the school’s expanding programs and exemplary student projects. It also records the progress made despite the challenges resulting from the Covid-19 crisis. Spring 2020, witnessed SoAD students and faculty rising to the pandemic’s challenges overnight via all-remote distant learning, and community building. The foundation curriculum shared by the undergraduate programs in architecture and interior design served students and faculty teams during remote classes, setting new levels of academic success and innovative milestones in our curriculum programs’ evolution. Chair Giovanni Santamaria successfully coordinated the BARCH and BSAT programs’ curriculum review and revision strengthening the foundation and thesis years. Development and stronger integration of the history theory, technology, design, research and digital visualization and fabrication courses will prepare our growing BARCH program student population to continue to lead in critical practice. Newly appointed Assistant Chair Dong-Sei Kim continued his leadership of the Student Affairs Committee to enrich the studio culture, to mentor student leaders and build the academic community through strategic student engagement. Newly appointed ID BFA Director Trudy Brens welcome an expanding class of students while engaging curriculum development for the program’s innovation driven future. Atmosphere 4 documents these successes via the exemplary student work in produced from the learning, teaching and creative efforts invested in these programs. The graduate programs are on the rise as well. International, remote learning was facilitated by covid-19 mandates as well, thanks again to the SoAD required laptop program and software platforms. The MARCH program has continued its grow as NAAB accreditation procedures advance under David Diamond’s seasoned directorship. The MSAURD’s new Director Marcella Del Signore spearheaded efforts to streamline and rebrand the program’s mission and curriculum. The innovations launched by Dean Perbellini, almost five years ago, include the new MS programs in Architecture Health and Design and Architecture, Computational Technologies which are being launched for fall 2021 classes and the newly expanded fabrication labs at the SoAD Old Westbury campus location. This volume is also evidence of the robust evolution of the team-teaching learning model and the creative culture, supportive community and the collegial spirit of faculty coordination and student engagement, that continue to foster more meaningful integrated, holistic critical life long learning and professional practices. The work presented in Atmosphere 4 is a record of the supportive and innovation driven learning environment that drives the SoAD programs and inspires students and faculty to strive for optimum values, human well-being and care-taking of the built and natural environments.

VOLUME 04

2020-21

As in the previous three editions, this issue No. 4 of ATMOSPHERE showcases exemplary students’ work produced within our courses across undergraduate and graduate programs at the School of Architecture and Design at New York Institute of Technology. As in the previous three editions, this volume includes extracurricular experiences such as workshops and community-oriented initiatives, examples of applied research and experimental projects, and lectures and events with prestigious guests in the field of architecture and design who generously shared with our students their work, expertise and passion. Unlike the previous three editions of this magazine, and for the first time in the history of our school, this issue does not include our Summer Programs Abroad, but only the Thesis Research Trips that preceded the pandemic. This 2019-20 collection of work reflects the challenges and difficulties that our community at the New York Institute of Technology has bravely and positively faced, along with the entire world, due to COVID-19. Our students and faculty, with the support and coordination of our leadership and administrative team at the School of Architecture and Design, have been able to proactively re-think limitations and prescriptions adapting to the changes within a few days’ time. Planning in advance and constantly re-adjusting to the contextual circumstances, our community, through a united and truly collaborative effort, has reacted positively and constructively to the changes. Often we have done so through the sorrows and sadness of loss and illness that directly involved faculty, students and their families. We have rethought, adapted and reshaped our pedagogy and teaching methodology, our tools to deliver, communicate and effectively share information and knowledge. Our active and hands-on response to the crisis has included collaborative projects within vulnerable local and international communities, post-disaster interventions, experimentations with digital fabrication and the production of PPE masks. Our focus on inclusivity, diversity, equity and overall sustainability and the wellbeing of our social and ecological environments have been always at the center of our professional and educational legacy at the School of Architecture and Design, and in the past year this approach has clearly manifested its valuable results. Our primary aim has been to guarantee a safe and healthy learning environment for ALL, maintaining a high-quality education and avoiding as much as possible disruptive interruptions for our students. Through the use of advanced technologies, experimental digital and virtual platforms, and with the support of our institution at NYIT, faculty and students were able to creatively react to the crisis and transform this into an opportunity to formulate new visions for the future which will potentially go beyond the peculiarity of these times, investigating new trajectories for education and renewed learning scenarios. Hybrid-remote and online teaching modalities coordinated and integrated to in-person activities have been crucial this past year to proceed productively and positively, demonstrating furthermore the resiliency of our community at the School of Architecture and Design, who not only embrace and adapt to change, but also anticipate it and move proactively to address it.

INTRODUCTION NYIT School of Architecture & Design

At New York Tech, we embrace the growing role technology plays in every facet of our lives, and we seek to leverage its potential as we reinvent the ways that architecture is practiced. Architecture mediates between ourselves and the world around us - both in its physicality as shelter and social organizer, and in the ideas it evokes, as it reveals what is characteristic and unique about our priorities, our values and our humanity. Inevitably, our architectural heritage concretizes what Is essential about our culture, how we have invested and how we have taken care of our environment. Our field of operation spans from the infrastructural elements of our region, communities and institutions, to those of individual dwellings and their components. The School of Architecture and Design’s forward-thinking, professional education prepares students for professional leadership and community engagement. Under the guidance of a faculty of experts, degree candidates learn to think critically about architecture, design, and the world around us and to approach their work with intelligence, confidence, and the rigor of practice. Fostering a dynamic studio culture is one of the keys to enable a productive, positive and inspiring learning environment. Diversity is the cornerstone of the student experience, where selfexpression and diverse ideas and perspectives thrive. Our studio-based education encourages productive collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, and global citizenship. Students gain hands-on experience and are equipped with skills to work collaboratively across disciplines, contributing to reshaping spatial, material, and cultural practices in the 21st century. Our international initiatives, travelling studios, study programs and outreach workshops are conducted around the globe, affording students immersive global and cultural experiences. This allows them to create unique portfolios of original works, and to make contacts in the region’s unparalleled networks in industry, the profession and in academia. 10

FUNDAMENTALS Design Fundamentals is an introduction to architectural composition and design and the tools with which they are explored. Its syllabus is delivered through a series of exercises that emphasize the dual influences of intuition and investigation. As they build in complexity, the projects are meant to help students to achieve the visual literacy needed to produce works with conceptual clarity and rigor – to both find and impart meaning to their creative work. The process involves a back-and-forth between creative speculation and skeptical questioning. The first-year studio provides a foundation upon which to build a design education. Design Fundamentals I begins with first principles and basic physical elements. With these elements, we perform the operations and negotiations to compose in two and three dimensions. We also build the vocabulary to describe and to think critically about form, space, and the world around us. Basic concepts like level, horizon, and threshold trigger deeper, metaphorical links to other moments in the practice, literature, and culture of architecture. Naming our operations builds human awareness of the physical world around us and of our own perceiving selves. We call attention to the horizon, the threshold between earth and air and water, the most basic elements of which life and our environment are formed. The horizon is a universal datum, a liminal threshold between the world of our experience and what is beyond, a marker of time (sunrise and sunset), and the reference against which true level is measured. It is as absolute and universal as it is personal; the horizon is also contingent on our position in space and time, the reference plane that extends outward from our eyes toward the distant meeting of earth and sky. It joins something internal to us with what is most distant.

Design Fundamentals II develops the themes of visual literacy, and the anatomy of two and three-dimensional composition. Two project sequences – The Volumetric Vessels and The Bath House, are meant as journeys of exploration and experimentation. In each, underlying organization is given priority over image, resemblance, and style. The “Vessels”, which involves the formal unpacking of piece of visual artwork – predominantly painting and collage - become a laboratory for experimental interpretation of two-dimensional clues to three dimensional events embedded in the works. The Bath House is an introduction to architectural composition as a habitable matrix of spaces with increasingly real material systems and qualities. Despite the apparent directness of the challenge, there are no easy answers. Working out the problems of narrative program / plan / section / volume / sequence / scale and site, serve as a microcosm of the problems to be encountered in subsequent studios and in practice.

FUNDAMENTALS I

DESIGN FUNDAMENTALS I The ELEMENTS project is a vocabulary of space and structure. Fundamental design principles are introduced through solid void transformations. Three exercises build in scale from detail to site.

Wood Word Joints combine language and material. The joints are examined for conceptual and structural clarity. A word play operates each joint along x, y, and z. A Volume of Joints combines the tectonic alliances established within a cube. The joints are rescaled, reconfigured and transformed. The assembly is dense and puzzling. Out of Joint aerates the solid state. The joints are dislocated and extended. This expanded field is an abstract site. The ENCLOSURE project shelters the body within and from the elements. Rituals of inhabitation and contemplation are measured and mapped. A perimeter membrane defines the spatial character of two rooms, directed to sky and horizon. Up and Down Bodies choreograph ritual as space. Zones and implied boundaries are generated from the activities. A surface is inscribed to receive the bodies. A Second Skin houses each performance space. The body is nested and aligned to the sky and horizon. This lightweight membrane defines the bounds and limits of interior space. A Porous Skin modulates the passage of light, air, and water. Openings and apertures create thresholds for entry and view. Solar path and orientation determine edge qualities. Above and Below Rooms position and support the interiors within the site. The rooms are oriented relative to the horizon and established site datum. The connection to the sky and horizon is reinforced visually and spatially. The PASSAGE project bridges the earth and sky. A spatial itinerary navigates varying spatial and phenomenal conditions. A stair elevates the body and narrative. In a moment locates spatial and temporal thresholds between the rooms and the site. Points of arrival, contact and departure are established for the body and sun. A Bridge connects the two rooms structurally and spatially. Tectonic relationships and interdependencies are clarified. A Gait modulates the ascending and descending body.

FUNDAMENTALS II

DESIGN FUNDAMENTALS II Design Fundamentals II looks at diverse ways to think about architectural space. Project 01, the Volumetric Vessels, examine the organization of visual fields, working with paintings as primary material. Students are challenged to unpack how our visual and intellectual faculties perceive surface, volume and space. Each student selects one of Le Corbusier’s Purist paintings, on the surface of which we find patterns of two-dimensional marks. Some are organized on grids, some imply perspective, modeling, or light and shadow, yet these flat signs imply other dimensions. They evoke either deep or shallow spaces, surfaces and objects layered in front of or behind one another, and in front of or behind the picture plane. They may suggest movement or the passage of time. Students are asked to identify and diagram the painting’s ambiguities, its episodes of opacity and transparency, overlap and intersection, foreground and background reversal, plan and section rotations, in other words, they are asked to tease apart the composition’s embedded oppositions and contradictions. Students are encouraged to prioritize articulation of relationships rather than objects, and to employ a method that is analogic rather than mimetic. The final phase of the Vessels is the crafting of a three-dimensional composition in models and drawings based upon the relationships found in, rather than resemblances to the initiating image. Project 02, the Bath House, calls attention to the haptic experience of architecture. Students must configure spaces for intimate human contact with the micro environments to be found in a bath house, with increasingly sophisticated digital modeling and fabrication tools. This Bath House is designed for hikers on a cliff-side site along the Hudson River. As students’ digital communication skills advance, they are asked to explore carving (with Boolean subtractions and unions) as space making strategies, hollowing out chambers for the therapeutic spaces in a bath house – warm, hot and cold pools, steam, sauna and massage rooms, showers, lockers and changing areas - all connected along paths that offer a rich variety of spaces that vary from dry to wet, from warm to hot and cold, from dark and interior to illuminated. In this project, students have their first introduction to architectural programs, scaled habitable spaces, and a site with explicit climate and solar orientation.

CORE ARCH. STUDIOS The Bachelor of Architecture studio sequence affirms our belief in learning through doing, and in the role of studio courses as the laboratories where other experiences, from coursework and from life, are integrated in experimental and innovative ways. Our rigorous studio sequence is modeled to reflect a range of architectural issues one confronts in professional practice. It progresses from extra-small to extralarge projects, and from ones that are abstract and conceptual to ones that are comprehensive in their integration of user, technical and site considerations. The second-year studio challenges students to think conceptually while solving problems featuring increasingly plausible issues of use, site, and construction. Design I and II studios build from analysis to synthesis, requiring students to understand an architecture problem to address design solutions from a historical understanding of canonical precedents in the discipline and how critically engage considerations regarding ideas, typology, topology, site specificity, technique, structure, social and programmatic issues. Small to medium sized public building types are proposed in relation to existing building and site conditions. Precedent analysis is introduced as an essential research vehicle. The third-year studio is a more thorough introduction to architecture in the public and private realms. Design III involves the design of a small public institutional building and Design IV, housing. Accompanied by precedent analysis projects of greater scope and detail, the 3rd year studio explores issues of occupancy, use and site with increasingly realistic constructional, environmental and regulatory issues, and with an emphasis on passive strategies for daylight and ventilation, all with respect to the larger social and physical contexts for which projects are proposed.

The fourth-year studios, Design 5 and 6, focus respectively on urban scale Community Design and Comprehensive Design. The Comprehensive Design Studio is our closest simulation of an architectural project in a professional setting. Students are challenged with all aspects of design, from the conceptual to the technical, from feasibility models and drawings to detailed representative wall sections, construction solutions, integrated building systems, and draft specifications. Each academic year, the Community Design Studio adopts a local community with pressing development needs – from ones of recovery from extreme weather events like hurricane Sandy, to those of deindustrialization, environmental remediation or inadequate transportation infrastructure. Proposals are developed in student teams, with consultation and feedback from members of the subject communities. The fifth-year studio requires students to select a study topic for Design VII and VIII studios. Design VII is organized around research and documentation of the concepts, the background, the site and the available data surrounding the topic. Travel to the subject site is encouraged. The topic’s opportunities and limitations are assessed, including those of its intended site (zoning, climate, physical context, topography, etc.). Preliminary proposals are executed. Topics range from ones at the scale of individual buildings or their components to those of urban regeneration within extended regional landscapes. Design VIII is devoted to design and execution of project proposals, often accompanied by publication in book form. This capstone course allows students to practice the concepts and skills they have been acquiring during their previous years of study, and to pursue a topical specialization uniquely interesting to them.

DESIGN STUDIO I

DESIGN STUDIO I INTRODUCTION Design I build up on the ability to critically read, understand and decode architecture, starting with architecture comparative analysis. Design I develop an understanding of an architecture idea in relation to a problem of computer representation, coordinating a digital sign such as a vector with an architecture sign such as column. Design I departed from a critical parametric deconstruction of a nine square grid problem (John Hejduk, 1954), understanding the function and topological possibilities of the various architecture elements that compose a grid-based system. Design I critiqued the various components of a system, such as an original typology through topological degree displacements. These displacements were used to activate clear subject-object relationships, circulation, service/served organizations and informing/informed by the program of an un-house dwelling for a dynamic contemporary social group.

Design I studied construction systems and architecture elements in parallel to other courses such as history/theory and building constructions and statics-structures (space-frame), understanding the architecture of construction types in relation to structure and their possible topological displacements. Design I build up a critical understanding of site specificity as an extension of the architecture process. Both Design I and II studios of Second Year developed processes from analysis to synthesis: requiring students to understand an architecture problem and to address design solutions from a historical-theoretical section in the discipline and that engaged with the issues discussed. The Fall Semester Studio developed a single design project developing a dwelling or an “un-house”, aiming to address a contemporary notion of domesticity at the scale of a dynamic social structure. This design was based on problems of computer representation which were developed through problems of program, site specificity and information materialization and digital fabrication.

DESIGN STUDIO II

DESIGN STUDIO II INTRODUCTION Design II departed from a dialectical opposition to the Fall semester curriculum but understood as a continuous critical project articulating both semesters through thesis-antithesis. The concepts and skills learned on the previous semester based on displacing a deterministic grid through parametric variations in a domestic program, were opposed by departing from an existing site-specific intervention (Rosalind Krauss, 1970) in a public program in Central Park in New York City.

The studio departed from analyzing an existing site, its complex topography, its logic and addressing an intervention addressing the concept of index and that dealt with the interpretative reading of these conditions as architecture. Multiple readings of the site were addressed through a diversity of historical sections based on nonWestern civilizations and Western culture, from the Inca Empire’s urban circular economy measuring the topography through agricultural terraces, to Enric Miralles’ “How to Lay Out a Croissant”. Site-specific interventions emerged from reading site conditions and relationships but also by specifically analyzing the tension between the topography/ paths and tunnels and bridges designs, proportions, and relationships in Olmstead’s Central Park. Students developed initial interventions by activating latent topological relationships understanding form as structure through concepts of stability in surfaces, such as catenary forces and structural concepts, experimentation with physical models and computer simulations. Students first developed a measurement of the territory and then a reconstruction of an existing bridge and an existing tunnel and basing their readings as surveys, but also as first acts of design. Students then expanded these readings developing latent topologies through digital surface-continuity indexing the site through progressive understandings of site-specificity, the ground as site, ground as inhabitable surface (Kurt Forster, 2004), ground surface as topology, topology as structure (shell structure), and topology as space-environment. The studio worked in parallel to courses in building constructions and structures activating in studio an evidence-based design methodology through form as structure. The program consisted of a Public Museum for Central Park displaying artwork, maps, drawings of the park and including permanent and temporary exhibition spaces.

DESIGN STUDIO III

DESIGN STUDIO III INTRODUCTION

The Third Year Studios, Design III and IV are seen as interrelated in terms of a dialectic theme of public and private, with a public - cultural institution building in the Design III and the dwelling in Design IV. A second objective is to introduce the comprehensive nature of architectural design in the pedagogical sequence of studios. Each semester focuses on the design of a single project with phases that progress from analysis to synthesis; schematic design to design development. The intention is to develop comprehensive design solutions that critically engage multiple considerations of socio-cultural meaning, form, program, construction and environmental ecology. The studios engage historically related precedent, social and environmental concerns and technological innovation through built form.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

This year in Design III, the public institution was a middle school for 300 students on an infill site in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The studio addressed the role that the school building plays in the social and cultural development of the students, as well as how the designed architectural environment relates to and structures a child’s learning and education. The school’s large spaces of cafeteria, gymnasium and library were to serve as a resource for community use after school hours, providing the neighborhood with a place to meet. Additionally, students we asked to allow passive environmental concerns to drive decisions on the design of the building envelope. All of the semester themes were introduced during a 2-week warm up design project of a one room schoolhouse.

DESIGN STUDIO IV INTRODUCTION

Design IV provided the second part of the dialectic of public and private with the study of the dwelling or private realm of our society. Following the consideration of the role of public institutions in our society, the relationship of the residential component to urbanization was considered in a general and specific manor with the program of urban multi family housing. The private domain is critical to the definition of personal freedom and its organization provides the setting for, and shapes domestic rituals. Alternatively, collective housing can assist the integration of residents and participate in the creation of neighborhood.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The program dealt with the changing definition of the family make-up and relations as well as the interrelation or social integration of groups of inhabitants. Issues, such as affordability and social equity are also discussed. The multiple scales from the individual dwelling to the aggregation of units with the collective potential of shared circulation, communal spaces and programs was a critical area of examination. The role of housing in the creation of physical urban fabric, its relationship to the surrounding context, were also important issues. A transit oriented site in Garden City Long Island offered the opportunity to research and integrate TOD issues in a small village into the housing project. With the five studios, there was the potential for comparison of the effects of the site on the designs.

DESIGN STUDIO V INTRODUCTION

Design Studio V is the second comprehensive design studio in our curriculum. During the previous year, the students learn about designing a public building in a relatively small urban site developing a complete set of documents to describe their designs, focusing on adapting passive sustainability principles. Following this experience, Design V focuses on employing both passive and active sustainability concepts with building heating and cooling systems that minimize the use of energy and water in their buildings, as well as the use of sustainable materials, landscaping and other regional climatic conditions. Given this definition, this semester involves a comprehensive analysis and research process that results in the evaluation of site conditions, materials, coordinated in a quantifiable and objective design decisions. Aesthetic concepts are expected to be derived from a clear understanding of sustainability and the systems that were developed after the research process. During the Fall 2019 semester the students were given a large post-industrial site along the Westchester Creek to design a Visitors Center for Indigenous Plants and Animals of the New York East River Estuary. The program involved both indoor and outdoor public areas allowing the students to work with site contours and sustainable landscaping concepts in the placement of their relatively small public building on this site. Each students’ work was evaluated by using US Green Building Council Criteria (USGBC) and were expected to conform with a minimum if ‘Silver” rating.

DESIGN STUDIO VI INTRODUCTION The Community Design Studio is a unique vehicle to practice the influence of architecture in the future of a region, a community, a block and a lot. This semester the students extended their site research along the Westchester Creek for their building in Design V and made urban design proposals for the Morris Park, Park Chester and Castle hill neighborhoods in the Bronx. Given the size of the region and the magnitude of the issues, the students worked in teams; delegating the design research among the members of the team. Each team selected the building of one of the team members along the Westchester Creek as a given, to start their design process for the rest of the region. In the selected site area, there were three Community Boards; CB9, 10 and 11. Each Board was considering major projects to improve the connection of low rise residential and business neighborhoods to public transportation and other much needed infrastructure. In addition to social and economic issues faced by the communities, ecological degradation was evident. Much of the land and the Westchester Creek were contaminated by previous industrial uses. Each team provided a distinct comprehensive design for the region, envisioning a sustainable environment with appropriate infrastructural changes, community services, affordable living and healthy working conditions. Some of the teams examined the possible phasing of their ideas to assure minimum distruption to the lives of the current residents and potentials for funding. Noted professionals, academic researchers and members of the community were invited during the midterm and final juries to evaluate the solutions proposed by the students. The final jury was held as a competition among all the student teams from the Manhattan and Old Westbury. Winning entries and the design research by the whole group was given to the community boards for their future use.

THESIS STUDIOS The architectural thesis is the capstone course of the B.ARCH program at NYIT. It summarizes and demonstrates the competencies required for this first Professional Degree. A thesis is a project with a proposition that contains a theory, “a supposition or speculation put forward to explain something”; “an exposition of general principles as distinct from practice or execution.” (Oxford English Dictionary) For architecture students the thesis year involves transforming theories and collected information into the design of cities, buildings and their components re-thinking their diverse environments —speculating through Architecture. This goes beyond just solving the problem of program and site, to the historical, social, cultural and ideological meanings of the topic. This will improve your ability as student, then as professional, in understanding, analyzing and representing the complexity of our contexts, to proactively, creatively and critically operate within the diverse field of Architecture. The two semester Thesis studio requires independent work and responsibility on the part of the student. The professors for the studio are thesis advisors. Each section elaborates a specific approach to a main topic shared within the studio, as described in the studio outlines. Requirements for work throughout the semester are set by the individual section advisors. Beyond fulfilling the requirements for each section, it is the responsibility of each student to demonstrate the validity, competency and completeness of their project to the thesis faculty as a whole in order to successfully complete the studio. Therefore, each student will be responsible for the production of an individual book of research, which will document the theoretical approach of the thesis, and selectively collect the several investigations related to topic and site, with their broader references and potentials.

In Design 7 students are expected to develop their projects through invention and research. The research component of the thesis year is an important demonstration of skills required for the professional degree, as specified by NAAB criteria: Design Thinking, Investigative Skills, Use of Precedent, Pre-Design, Research. Research should examine the history and theory of topics related to the thesis proposal: Humanistic Discourse, Space, Poetics, Program, Site, Structure and Construction, Sustainability. Conclusions of that research should be part of the final presentation. By the end of Design 7 a clear thesis statement, a thorough research and the presentation of a complete architectural project idea must be established, coherently demonstrated and included into the first stage of the individual research book. In Design 8 students develop and complete the project to a resolution appropriate to the nature and scale of the thesis proposal, and represented / communicated through diverse and experimental analog and digital media. This is also included into the final individual thesis book of the research, concluded and submitted prior to the final review. Each student must establish the goals of the thesis with her/his advisor. A successful project will achieve these goals. It will also demonstrate the student’s skills as critical thinker and responsible designer, and ideally, become the most sophisticated and substantial achievement of her/ his student work. This will be included into the final version of the thesis research book, and validated by a consistent design production (boards, models, etc.). The main thesis topic across all the sections for the year 2019-20 is “FLUIDITY,” understood and open to be interpreted from the scale of the architecture component/s and of the building, to the one of the neighborhood and the urban area, and then to the whole city and its territory. Some of the sections of this academic year worked within the framework of the exhibition titled INFORMAL INTERSCALAR FLUIDITY in Palazzo Bembo (Venice-IT) as part of the 17th International Venice Architecture Biennial.

TECHNOLOGY The methodology for the technology sequence places an emphasis on how parameters of climate, construction, systems, and material define the making of a piece of architecture, both in form and in detail. We are interested in how these parameters control and define both the broad decisions and the specific details behind implementation and expression of a construction system in a building.

Environmental Systems I+II introduce students to the basic provisions of comfort, health, safety, and their role in creating architecture. The course sequence will develop a basic understanding of how to achieve and maintain these provisions through a combination of passive and active systems, and how to integrate them into the architectural design. The broad topics of Sun, Air, and Water create the framework for the more specific quantifiable investigations of how these systems perform.

The goal of the sequence is to teach a methodology for dealing with the variety of constructive situations architects face. This method will present a way of designing and detailing simultaneously, which means the characteristics of the various construction types will reference a larger strategy of organization, an organization that operates at every scale of the building and the site.

These courses are to be understood as parallel and integrated with the studio experience, and the projects in the studio sequence are used in the technology sequence. The expectations are that issues of sustainability and construction manifest themselves within the studio projects, and that issues of form and space manifest themselves in the technology courses.

Building Construction I + II introduce students to construction systems and materials, and their interrelationship with the environment, with the goal of introducing a more holistic conception of architecture. The making of architecture is defined by parameters from the climate, the site, and the efficiency and logic of the systems used. Construction and material can reciprocally inform a design concept and enrich its ultimate potential.

BUILDING CONSTRUCTION I Building Construction I introduces students to architecture from a technological point of view. An architecture of technology will become active through building construction systems based on materials. Through the curation of the courses, issues of efficiency, environmental footprint and a wide range of interrelationships with the environment will become a common means to approach architecture, with the goal of introducing students to a more holistic conception of architecture and sustainability. Building Construction I will study material-based building construction systems based on wood and masonry. The architecture project’s organization, its structure and materiality are not to be applied to an abstract formal idea, but they are thought as inherent to the syntactical form of the development of the project. The logic of the various construction types will reference design strategies for architecture organizations and linguistic expressions.

These studies are taken also in parallel to understand the material tectonics of large scale digitally fabricated physical models such as laser cut models and 3d printed models which as material based construction systems are understood as means to activate the logic of the design from the linguistic syntactical possibilities of the construction system.

BUILDING CONSTRUCTION II Building Construction II will study material-based building construction systems based on steel, glass and concrete. Continuing with the construction sequence and its fundamental concepts and technical methodologies laid out in Building Construction I, students are asked to consider their Design II studio projects through a material tectonic and a building construction system. By understanding first the logic of a specific material, its industry proportions and properties, its possibilities, characteristics and performance, students will start addressing the material based construction systems, its components, assembly, interrelationships and overall systemic logic and design possibilities. Examples of these explorations include large scale digitally fabricated physical models, revealing and aiming to explore the possibilities of the construction system, but also exploring limits in the ranges, for instance applying conventional solutions first, but then systematizing its understanding more efficiently and in relation to the structure of the building, exploring

alternative solutions to known conventions, exploring systematic variations of found architecture potential within the construction system. In addition to standard systems, students are also asked to develop a shell structure design to understand the potential capacity of reinforced concrete by optimizing its form through a structural computational simulation.

ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS I Through a combination of theoretical seminars and practical design assignments, Environmental Systems 1 introduces students to both passive and active methods of designing sun, wind, and water systems within a building. Five sequential assignments, coordinated with the design studio, explore the inter-relationship between passive architectural design and active mechanical design. Students are asked to make climate responsive architectural developments to their studio project, coordinate and calculate their passive design responses, and subsequently size the active thermal controls and water/waste systems.

ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS II This course focuses on natural and artificial lighting strategies as related to electrical systems within building design. Using similar methods to Environmental Systems 1, students first optimize natural lighting use through calculations and computer modeling prior to the artificial lighting design. In combination with efficient electrical design and optimized transportation systems and core layouts, these studies allow them to see their design studio project in a new way, augmenting the project symbiotically. They are then asked to see how much of the building energy can be offset with alternate energy sources, and how these can be integrated in to the design.

VISUALIZATION The Visualization sequence curriculum supports primarily the process of translating ideas into visual and representational formats that foster the transition from the mind-hand to the computer and vice-versa and to develop a critical approach to this generative process. It is designed to accompany and support the design studio sequence. It provides tools to enhance our awareness of the coordination of eye, mind, and hand, both to better understand how we see and to better document our ideas. The three visualization courses seek to position themselves within an academic and professional environment of constantly changing design tools, representational methods, and technologies. Through the careful introduction of appropriate tools and methodologies, these courses are meant to equip students with a digital and analog framework that supports fluidity in the process and reinforcement of the benefits and value of each through an exchange and overlap. Visualization I is the introductory drawing course for Interior Design and Architecture Majors. It is the first in a series of courses that impart the concepts and skills of visual communication necessary to explore and practice these two related fields. The course aims at exposing the students to the understanding of architecture as a discipline and practice through a variety of input to support the students’ critical process of understanding architecture and its expanded field. Students learn how we can transfer ‘what we see’ and ‘what we think’ into different visualization formats, and more importantly, how we can record our thoughts and inform design processes through iterative explorations. Visualization II introduces the use of CAD (ComputerAided Design) + CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technologies to support critical visual thinking. Much like skills introduced in Visualization I, the exercises offer not only new tools for visual communication and representation but also

306

new methodologies for design and abstraction. The course provides new tools to enhance further the ability to explore and improve visual communication skills, as well as their generative approach to design and critical thinking. Visualization III provides skills for more advanced computational tools and digital fabrication techniques and tectonics. More advanced platforms of investigation of computational technologies in design are offered to students as a format to get them exposed to the interchangeability between platforms and modes of operation. Students are exposed to the feedback loop between design and making, generative protocols, and coding. A discussion of the way in which emerging technologies are affecting contemporary practice and process act as a theoretical underpinning to all exercises.

PART A

VISUALIZATION II Visualization II is designed to support the curriculum, methodologies, and projects developed in AAID 102- Design Fundamentals 2. Students apply the course’s digital knowledge and tools in their design studio projects to foster cross-integration of processes, skills, and critical thinking between the two courses. This course has been designed to include CAD (Computer-Aided Design) + CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technologies to support the design studio sequence. Students are introduced to computer software and digital fabrication techniques, which allow them to support their 2D and 3D development of the work. The course provides new tools to enhance further the ability to explore and improve visual communication skills, as well as generative approaches to design and critical thinking. As part of the new visualization curriculum sequence, the course builds upon the skills learned in the first part of the visualization course, while laying the ground for new tools and techniques. The course aims to develop generative modeling abilities and explore strategies to imagine spatial and tectonic conditions digitally reinforced by analog processes. The investigations are nurtured by issues and tasks related to the application and use of computational tools and information technologies to foster experimentation, iterative processes, and generative design thinking.

ROBOTICS_S-LAB

Material Conditions for Panels A B C & D

The objective of the course is to explore the potential of robotic technology to assemble lightweight structures with minimal scaffolding, through a collaborative work-flow between robots and builder with an integration of material properties and construction sequences. We aim to construct a series of small prototypes using a Kuka robotic arm and to join material elements that will form panels which will be assembled manually into a larger prototype.

Material Refe

Model Refere

Considering material properties will be key to delve into this research. Material properties and sizing will be studied and taken into account to design the tectonic system. Most important of all, the system will be designed by and through the technological and material constraints and limitations, seen as drivers for more efficient construction, and facilitating into new ways of thinking about design. Students will learn about robotic manufacturing, fabrication and assembly while being involved in building a large scale structure. Students will build design patterning of a single panel of the structure and will learn about the design tool developed for the course, in the form of a grasshopper simulation.
