How do others see us through what we have created? What does is mean to have authorship over what one creates? These are not questions of the product’s value or worth, but a question regarding the designer’s individuality and identity. For this issue of Spacework, it’s not just about the products, it’s about the discovery of the identity of the designer through what they create. Whether its the development of a design style or a focus on certain principles, their is undoubtedly a process and a journey. No one comes prepared with an identity, it is something we learn and create ourselves.
PROCESS
As the editors of Spacework, we wrestled with the idea of sections to define similar aspects of identity and authorship in order to classify student work. However, we came to the realization that this boxing and sorting of people was an infringement on the identities we were trying to preserve. Therefore, projects are grouped together when they tackle similar ideas, not how they approach these complex issues. Within a section, projects retain an identification mark as to how the designer is approaching an issue. We devised four terms:
Opportunity - Influences - Engagement - Anatomy These projects are tagged on each page to highlight the designer’s identity. As a way to quickly identify how a designer is thinking, we designated these as:
Landmarks
In this way, we hope to convey to you, our readers, that as designers approach complex issues, we realize and understand the myriad of solutions available. There is no right way to design. It is how we approach these issues, and the decisions we make, that demonstrate our own complexity and identity. Nothing is created by nobody. We are all somebody, and we want to be heard.

It is how we approach these issues, and the decisions we make, that demonstrate our own complexity and identity. Nothing is created by nobody. We are all somebody, with a voice to be heard.
Opportunities are the chances we take as designers that can either bolster or hinder our success. It is the ability to define a Style that is daring, unique, and an extension of the individual’s identity. Being exposed to Risk can fuel new and innovative ideas, driving many designers to push the limits of their work. Too many strive to attain the so called popular style; emulating what they see in successful individuals’ work. Opportunities create risks, which lead to choices enabling the individual to avoid the masses and Stand Out. It can also lead to the birth of new ideas, into unchartered territory that others have avoided or failed to bring to life. The act of pursuing an opportunity can become a milestone in shaping one’s identity.
INFLUENCE
OPPORTUNITY
CABE
As designers, we have the unique position of interacting deeply with the design, from the beginning to the end. Before the concept is born, a designer has a set of Value Systems and influences from which they draw upon. It is through these influences that a project takes form. They are Innate, Intangible and Personal, extending beyond the physical constraints of a project. Influences come from all types of sources such as an individual’s upbringing, their education, and their peers. It is important to analyze and highlight the influences of a designer so that their cultural, spiritual and psychological connections to the real world become self-evident. The exploration of influences is the base of building a designer’s identity. This allows the work itself to become a source of influence as a Precedent.
How we engage with others is an extension of ourselves. We can engage in two manners: as a Member or as an Individual. To do so as a member includes designing with others as a member of a particular social community. When in the context of a larger group, it is important to always note the members’ Impact within the whole. Without this lens, the member may become an unheard voice. To engage others as an individual signifies not being part of a specific group, and thereby embracing the need to understand the group’s significant Values. In doing so, a Sensitivity towards issues and principles is established. Through proper communication and analysis, Compromises can be reached and the collective effort can create an identity of its own.
ANATOMY
ENGAGEMENT
5
We are a collection of parts and pieces that define who we are. Our work is created through a process tempered by the Opportunities we follow, defined by our existing Influences, and bolstered by our Engagement with others. The summation of these integral facets of our identity are represented in the work we create. If we were to Dissect our work, there is no doubt that we could unearth the various parts and pieces of who we are from what we examine. It is this study of our anatomy that leads us to a deeper understanding of who we are as individuals, as designers, and as a college. The anatomy of CABE is vast and incredibly intricate, however it is from this complexity that the Unique Identity of our college is born, and from where it draws its strength.

SmartCities Research Studio Philadelphia in 2050 This studio pushed the boundaries of emergent digital techniques to generate a smart design for a high-rise in one of the worlds mega-cities. Students developed outstanding ideas that redefine skyscraper design through the implementation of novel technologies, materials, programs, aesthetics, and spatial organizations along with studies on globalization, flexibility, adaptability, and the digital revolution. The studio examined the relationship between the skyscraper and the natural world, the community, and the city by developing advanced façade systems, bioclimatic environmental concepts, advanced structural systems and new functional program. The studio took into consideration the advances in technology, the exploration of sustainable systems, and the establishment of new urban and architectural methods to solve economic, social, and cultural problems of the contemporary city including the scarcity of natural resources and infrastructure and the exponential increase of inhabitants, pollution, economic division, and unplanned urban sprawl. The studio went about creating a new master plan for the city of Philadelphia. Teams broke the city into its main sections and developed new area plans for these sections. Then each student developed plans for a new skyscraper within their sections, 18 skyscrapers in total.

Park in a Truck Bring Nature into Everyday Life The Jefferson University Lab for Urban and Social Innovation (LUSI) is a collaborative design-based initiative whose mission is to CONNECT + INSPIRE + TRANSFORM the neighborhoods of Philadelphia. LUSI works with stakeholders, students and faculty to empower, inspire and meaningfully improve the quality of life of all community members. LUSI envisions a city where issues of inequity can be addressed through inclusive design processes. Through LUSI, landscape students and faculty seek to facilitate and support local efforts and design a network of outdoor environments that is specific to community needs. By linking unused lots into a network of green spaces, “Park in a Truck” helps neighborhood groups design and select what they want in their park. All of the essentials are loaded onto a truck and delivered to the site, where community volunteers build their park, barn-raising style. The students prepared typologies to inspire community groups focused on the three programs of nature, sanctuary, and edible plantings.

Office Building Division The Geode
B.Arch | ‘19 The Department of Energy hosts a competition every year focused on the future of sustainability. The Race to Zero, now partnered with the Solar Decathlon, challenges teams to design the most high-performing, efficient, affordable, innovative buildings within five typologies. The ultimate goal is to achieve Net Zero or Net Positive design, which indicates the building is producing more energy than is required for it operations. Finalists in each division are invited to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Denver, CO to present to experts of the industry. This year, three teams from the College of Architecture and the Built Environment placed as finalists in their respective divisions. The team comprised of Sam Horochowski, Erin Raup, Jessica Schell, Zane Colville, Denis Costello, and Kyle Chang won for their Office Building which reduced energy consumption as a tool to combat displacement. By incorporating an inexpensive hay bale wall assembly, passive ventilation strategies, and public programming on the ground floor, the Geode puts Sharswood, Philadelphia back in charge of its own redevelopment.
“ The chance to see innovative work from other young professionals was inspiring to say the least. After weeks of hard work, long nights, and reconciling directions, I’m extremely proud of our project and thankful for my teammates and professor. ” - Kyle Chang

Often times designs fail to realize the potential of the site and pedestrian space, therefore, current designs should reflect making our cities more welcoming for pedestrians and cyclists. Cities that offer a lot of public spaces for everyone to use have a much more approachable and comfortable setting that lead to healthier, more sustainable communities.

Esperanza Community Revitalization In urban communities across the United States, people are searching for ways to build and revitalize public spaces such as parks, playgrounds, and streets. In order to improve the quality of urban life, landscape architects must be versed in the knowledge, skills, and values necessary for working with diverse peoples and complex real-life situations. This type of learning through service not only integrates theory with practice, but also provides an experience that unites values with skills. This semester, 2nd and 3rd year landscape architecture students worked with Esperanza, a faith-based nonprofit organization, to explore their vision of the neighborhood. They also studied methods and resources used in analyses for sustainable settlement, preservation, or management of the land. Natural, cultural, and experiential data were integrated into the decision-making and design processes. In the end, the analyses and design interventions became the vehicle to bring the community members and the students together in conversations not only about design, but also about the realities of urban conditions and urban living. This emphasis on collaboration with communities truly empowers students to make a positive impact in our city and world as they participate in real-world projects.

Every year, the entire fifth year CABE class takes part in the Stewardson, a competition between all architecture programs in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Participants are either in their final year of study or within three years post-graduation. The prompt this year was to propose a design for a library in Renovo, PA. This design would serve as a new typology, re-envisioning the traditional function of a library. Competitors were tasked with considering contextual factors of this particular site, as well and the adaptability to other communities. This year, two 5th year students and two Jefferson alumni placed as finalists. Andrew Sauers was recognized as the first runnerup for his design proposal. This vision was to create a space that evoked the feeling of ‘home’, where multi-generational learning and interaction can take place. The heavy timber structure, masonry walls, and rustic finishes merge contemporary flexible programs with historic building techniques. The simplicity in form, richness in material, and sensitivity of program ensure that the library becomes a hub for community engagement.
“The primary goal of my project was to propose a building that would be socially accepted by the community and respond to the context of the site. I was surprised to see how quickly I could come to a reasonable solution in such time constraints.”

Ideas Research Studio Textile Material Strategies Architectural Surfaces The studio questioned: What are the opportunities for textile material surfaces? What geometric textile constructs can lead to new spatial, tectonic, structural, climatic, kinetic innovations or other novel architectural surface innovations? Can we learn from and apply principles from nature as an inspiration for textile material strategies? While the modern paradigm was based on engineering innovations as observed in the work of Buckminster Fuller or Vladimir Suchov, architectural experiments helped to widen the knowledge base in biology, and interest in emerging technologies began to transfer understanding of natural constructions and functions to architectural problems. The studio examined biomimetic approaches in architecture to contemplate new paradigms that have the potential to fundamentally shift how we approach textile material use and energy consumption in architecture.

Sensory An Architectural Application The Sensory project focused on how people would interact with the textile installation and how the system would shape different emotional responses or atmospheric zones. The structure began with research on fiberreinforced plastic, the processes for how it is manufactured, and its ability to achieve very large cantilevers. Then exploring materiality, researching what natural fibers could be used and if they could replace any of the synthetic fibers of the FRPs. The vast majority of the process was spent figuring out the layers of the system, what the nodes were, and how people interacted with the system. This was all primarily figured out in a sketchbook, with some digital modeling to test ideas.

Exo_Surface A Material Experiment The integration of 3d printing and textiles to create structured adaptive surfaces for a range of architectural applications. The additive process of applying a 3d printed structure to an elastic textile turns a fluid material into a soft structure that can be used for a variety of applications. Through the process of 3d printing, in combination with inherent textile properties, it is possible to achieve accurate replication of forms created digitally. This process could be applied to solve a variety of architectural problems. In the instance of complex form-making for concrete work, this process is highly applicable. Using a computational process, a designed form can be deconstructed into a twodimensional pattern that can be applied to a stretched textile through a printing process. The material will retract when released from the print-bed and hold its intended shape due to the structure of the pattern printed onto it. This material can then be used as form-work for pouring.

The initial idea was using origami patterned folding to create a deployable structure that could inflate in the wind.
The project was a collaboration between 5th year BArch students and Masters Textile design students to create experimental airforms using designed textiles in combination with architectural structures. “I think we learned a lot from each other, different ways of approaching a project and designing in a different way was really intersting.� The form was derived from origami patterns and traditional Shibori weaving techniques to develop deployable systems.

Independent Study Based on Excerpts from Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities Alyssa Moyer’s Fantasy Architecture utilizes visualization techniques and technologies to develop a series of images based on phrases taken from Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities. Each charrette lasted one or two weeks to force quick decisions and as many final images as possible to prepare for the Fair Tale Architecture Competition.
Phyllis
This exploration has been heavily based on the process and ‘mess’ of creating the final image. Excerpts from Invisible Cities were used versus visualizing an entire city in order to let the image be more open ended and let the process take control to develop a result that is less predictable. Each charrette began with an image library and a set of rules to follow. Then, excerpts from the invisible cities were selected quickly - sometimes just by opening the book and picking a sentence. Once enough constraints were set, images were quickly produced to get an idea of what is working and what is not. After determining what works, selected images were refined into a final product.

Design Build A Collaborative Effort Originally the scope of the project was to create a 10’ x 10’ pavilion, but once the group of 11 students got to the site they realized that it was in need of a larger scale. By the end of the semester their final design was that of a pavilion that measured over 65 feet long and 20 feet wide. By understanding site context and realizing its potential, the final design is an interactive component that feels embedded rather than additive and dismissive.

Algal Bloom AGI Glass Honorable Mention Taking the vernacular of green walls and traditional bricks, this installation utilizes water tanks to create algal blooms that change with lighting conditions. The use of different textures and opacities of glass allows for the development of different individual algal ecosystems within the wall, creating an ever-changing visual dynamic.

1st Place 2019 Architectural Glass Design Competition Emily Potenza B.Arch | ‘21
Every year the Architectural Glass Institute sponsors a design competition for the 3rd year architecture students. This year, the challenge was to create a screening device for the parking of new apartments on Ridge Ave and Kelly Drive. The students were tasked to utilize glass in innovative ways, taking into consideration the unique qualities of the material and the possibilities they afford. Additionally, the project should consider the historical context of the East Falls area, and the opportunities for nighttime lighting. Emily Potenza won first place among all third year students with her project “Bringing Back the Falls”. Inspired by the once existing falls that gave East Falls its namesake, she designed a three-layered glass paneled system that creates the illusion of falling water when someone passes by. The lighting effect is an interactive element, and allows the viewer to conduct the motion of lights and “water” at night in sync with their movements. Careful consideration of costs and the technicalities of construction created a design both practical and inspiring.
“ For me, my risks were not to take risks. I often create complex designs and I had so many ideas to overlay into this design. But, I saw that keeping the idea simple and focusing on the realistic qualities of the design is what helped me to create a compelling project. ”

“...most days I would leave class so excited because we found out there was another Bugatti or the kids had water battles in the house. Every little detail is a piece of the puzzle and it is as if we only made the frame. There are so many pieces that have yet to be discovered.” -Adam Hoover
“A model could simulate what it would be like to walk in the main door and things like that, but actually going into the house and being able to just sit was really nice. After the tour, we were just standing there, talking for a few minutes because it’s a space that I just didn’t want to leave.” -Olivia DeAgro

Isolation within Population Design Collaborative This project serves as an archive for famous Sci-Fi writer Aliette de Bodard. As a collaboration project between third year architecture and interior design students, this theoretical architecture and design project pushes ideas of creativity and how to express the innate and intangible while having to collaborate interdiscipline.
“Genuinely it was like working with teachers the whole time; they taught me so much about architecture and conceptual thinking. I know my future interior design projects will benefit from this collaboration!” -Grabiella Dilullo “I think some of the most exciting projects happen when you get to work with a group of people that are all equally passionate and excited to generate ideas together.” -Olivia Birritteri

Flowmo Playing with Form Inspired by surface pliability, this project incorporates a white and black achromatic color scheme for the separation between the void and the focal point of the space. The white embedded in the smooth surface of the envelope creates an energetic and pure sense of movement as the main black object. The combination of black and white generates charismatic visual energy, which opens up space to a different perspective dimension.
Product Visualization Developing Installations The design concept is to create separation between the existing rectilinear box environment by introducing an organic form inspired by nature. Architectural structures incorporated throughout the space resemble the verticality of trees found in the forest and the soft curves found in foliage. Although organic in form, these structures effectively showcase kitchen models, paint samples, and appliances.

The Coffee Factory Retail Store Design The Coffee Lab is a gourmet coffee business created to bring the community together, providing both social and private spaces for consumers to enjoy freshly made coffee drinks. In the Manayunk district, which is known for its industrial charm, the design is centered around the scientific process of making coffee - adding a unique visual interest to the interior environment, and relating the establishment to the nature of coffee: from bean to beverage.
Summit Ad Agency Office Design Utilizing a property in an office park near the Northeast Philadelphia Airport, the designer’s intent was to establish a more active, friendlier work environment in comparison to the cubicles of the past. Therefore, the design is very concerned with the health of the natural environment and the workplace. It strives to utilize environmentally friendly media and promote overall preservation of the natural world and activity.

Understanding Disability An Empathy Museum This museum seeks to help people understand what disabilities are and what those who have them go through on the daily-basis. Each part of the museum will take the visitors through interactive and informative exhibits. This museum will also spread awareness of the different disabilities that exist.
Sound and Silence A Sensory Museum The ability to hear is a precious sense and the museum of sound and silence aims to educate patrons about sound, hearing and deafness as well as encouraging patrons to embrace the beauty of sound. The inspiration for the design of the spaces comes from sound waves. In sound waves, we find movement, stillness and vibration.

2019 IIDA PA/NJ//DE Student Competition Narada Walters INTD | ‘19
The senior class of interior design students in CABE compete every year to be recognized by the IIDA chapter of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. The students are tasked with presenting a notable project from the current academic year. The most successful submissions are those that both present the unique integrity of the design, and well as demonstrate the real-world practicality of the project.
Narada Walters won this year’s competition with the presentation of his Design 7 studio final project. He chose to explore psychological disorders in an interactive museum, a very personal subject. In his adolescent years he suffered from anxiety, and wished to encourage an open dialogue of these issues which many people face. The design draws from the form of broken mirrors, and the metaphor of the mind. The use of color and dynamic shapes within the space cause each visitor to engage with their surroundings and reflect on their ignorant judgments. Narada hopes the exhibit will help people change their perception of disorders and of people who experience the world in a different way.
“ Through this project I was able to explore the different facets of the mind and deconstruct the self. This was a way to understand myself personally and address this time in life. I hope it also helps others to understand themselves and reconcile the issues they may be facing. ”

Message from the Dean The College of Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) is made up of a diverse portfolio of programs where students and faculty collaborate to create innovative ways of solving problems relating to the built environment. What makes CABE unique is the individuals within it and how we interact with others. The breakdown and understanding of all our parts enable us to push ourselves further as both a college and individuals. A comprehensive university, Jefferson organically grew from the merger between Philadelphia University and Thomas Jefferson University in 2017. This has proven to be an amazing opportunity for the students to fully engage in the communities of Philadelphia and push the boundaries of their individual fields. Our education emphasizes specialized knowledge unique to each discipline, paired with interdisciplinary collaboration that prepares students for practice in the global market. CABE continues to implement these principles into all levels of learning, and students are embracing the opportunities to broaden their experiences beyond the traditional studio. We have an incredibly vibrant and dynamic educational environment that encourages entrepreneurship and innovation. On the East Falls campus our college is complemented by other design disciplines such as industrial design, graphic design, fashion and textile design. This allows for unprecedented trans-disciplinary collaboration that broadens the student experience.
Collaborative endeavors such as the partnership with the Kamuzu Central Hospital in Malawi and the Esperanza social group in North Philadelphia allow students to engage with stakeholders and directly impact the growth of these communities, locally and internationally. Cross-disciplinary projects such as the IDEA studio with textile design and comprehensive graduate studios facilitate professional cooperation and exploratory learning. CABE has found a unique balance in principles and passions, which affords the diverse body of students and faculty the support to pursue their many interests. Forward thinking initiatives such as the SmartCities studio seek to realize the vision of a healthy, citizen-centric Philadelphia. At the same time, the Hassrick House has become a landmark of the university and the new Center for the Preservation of Modernism will ensure the lasting history of our city. The College of Architecture and the Built Environment has a longstanding tradition of working with underserved communities in Philadelphia to improve the built environment uniting community leaders, stakeholders, faculty and students. Based on its successful collaborative model, CABE continues to develop initiatives to work with neighborhoods and stakeholders to create a vision of the built environment that strengthens the well-being of the community.
Drawing from its expert faculty and students in architecture, landscape architecture, interior design, geodesign, sustainable design, historic preservation, real estate development and allied disciplines, CABE has been able to bring real change to Philadelphia’s neighborhoods that are most in need while fulfilling the core mission of educational enrichment. With its thriving design and construction industries, Philadelphia serves as our urban lab, furnishing students with professional experiences in a vibrant metropolitan area. Our college partners with major corporations, industry partners, local communities, and nonprofit organizations, supplying a broad range of real-world projects and networking opportunities. Our dynamic approach to education and emphasis on social equity, sustainability, and design excellence equip our graduates with a competitive edge, poised to become innovative leaders in sustainable practice. Our DNA is the interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary collaboration between the different design, architecture, and construction programs which provides students unparalleled opportunities. - Barbara Klinkhammer Executive Dean Jefferson College of Architecture & the Built Environment

“Often in design, we are asked to consider the value of the work separate from our opinion of the creator. But how can we truly appreciate a piece of art, a building, or any form of design without understanding the principles, personality, and identity of the person who brought it life?”
“As designers, our methods prefer internal resolution; we generalize to tie together disparate parts and simplify to convey understanding. But identity should be harder to place. Maybe it is through the dignity of narrative and exchange that we can keep boundaries up for interpretation.”
- Breanna Sheeler
- Austin McInnis
“At the end of the day, it’s all about the story, our pathos and sense of identity that generate shapes on a page that can reach people.”
“Dost thou knoweth the face behind the mask?” - Sawyer de Moll
“Authorship + Identity: Both interesting issues in the design community. The gravity of these issues becomes even more clear when as an editor, you must create a publication that accurately portrays the vast work of the college without removing the vibrancy of the many unique identities that the students’ work represents.”
“Go talk to the students instead of reading this book, they’re a lot more interesting. Hear the story in their own words.” - Evelyn Juliano
- Nikos Fasouletos
“Woven strands of identity create the very fabric of friendship, learning, and experiences that we as both CABE students and editors enjoy each semester. We hope this year’s publication serves as a testament to this combined identity and the value of the college.”
“Simply put, I’m extremely grateful and happy I chose TJU. The friends I’ve made over the past 4 years here and even just joining this class will forever hold a special place in my heart. This year’s SPACEWORK is a culmination of the CABE community and its exceptional work and I am thankful to have been a part of it!”
