ARCH-4980.1 | Ted Ngai, Lecturer TIDAL CITYSCAPE MARY ROSE BASILE The technological systems that allowed for the growth of cities are responsible for many of their ecological and social problems today. Environmental changes initiated by the growth of modern cities now serve as a threat, especially to cities on the coast. Miami is particularly susceptible to threats […]

ARCH-4980.1 | Ted Ngai, Lecturer ALLUVIAL ACCUMULATION Form Follows Turbulence ZOE DEMPLE The investigation begins with the comprehension of networks and flow; understanding that from venation to entire river systems; flow networks operate entirely on the variables of scale and climate, and when both of these elements are ignored, many problems are created. A pervasive example of […]

ARCH-4980.6 | Chris Perry, Assistant Professor ARCH[IPELOGIC] TYPE Redefining the ‘Kit of Parts’ KATHERINE TALLIA This investigation begins with the analyzation of the designs of Charles and Ray Eames, particularly the notion of 20th century interface design and the part to whole relationship. The Eameses were inherently interdisciplinary, explicitly interested in “design”; design being a catch-all of […]
Alexander Rohr
ARCH-4980.6 | Chris Perry, Assistant Professor TIDALSCAPES ALEXANDER ROHR Research for the project began with case studies of three different architectural projects from the 1960’s/late Post-War era. The common thread between each case was a new approach to the architectural process that resulted in a new formal realization, having elements of both art and architecture but not […]

ARCH-4980.6 | Chris Perry, Assistant Professor URBAN MULTIPLEXIFORM RIVERSCAPE Hybrid Processes in 21st Century Energy ANGELA OHMAN The current riverscape is a complex layering of history, culture and ecological events. Post-industrial river sites have been subject to two clashing histories: the natural/ecological development and the artificial/industrial development. During the past centuries, industry overpowered the natural, rendering much of […]

ARCH-4980.6 | Chris Perry, Assistant Professor A PROSTHETIC EXTENSION Hybrid Processes in 21st Century Energy CHRISTOPHER NOBES Richard Neutra, Frederick Kiesler, and Marshall McLuhan are known to be either architects, philosophers, or theoreticians however, their synthesis throughout certain formulated concepts rely on the ability of a prosthetic extension – the initial explored analysis. The definition of the […]

ARCH-4980.6 | Chris Perry, Assistant Professor INFRASTRUCTURAL TERRAIN SARAH MURRAY The Post-War period was one of enormous technological growth. The emergence of the airplane and the automobile transformed the way in which people conceived of space, effectively shortening the distance and time it takes to travel between any two given locations. With this shift in the conception […]

ARCH-4980.6 | Chris Perry, Assistant Professor HYDROCULTURE JAMIE LEE The role of today’s garden environments call for a heterogeneity of experiences in order to stimulate the masses and their growing demands for everything. Our appetite for accessibility led to the construction of massive factories that produced everything from paper to cement, all of it located conveniently on […]

ARCH-4980.6 | Chris Perry, Assistant Professor NEW ECO-MONASTICISM Physical and Phenomenological Re-Orientation KATERI KNAPP Inspired by the social and cultural phenomena of rediscovered freedom, do-it-yourself culture, and technological innovation that emerged out of the counter culture movement, the designers and thinkers of the Postwar period digested these desires into architectural phenomena. The realized design implications present themselves […]

ARCH-4980.6 | Chris Perry, Assistant Professor AGRITECH PARK Investing in the Micro Community TRACEY KLICH Extrapolation theory provides the basis to understand how past actions effect the present, and through this lens, how decisions made now will affect the future. During the post war period extrapolation theory makes connections between, science, technology, chemical orocesses, and cybernetics, informing […]
