FP_Leitao Section 12-13
Final Project | Carla Leitao, Adjunct Professor Cloud-Architecture: REASSEMBLY FP Students 2012-13 – Carla Leitao Section In the past 2 years this section has looked at the possible concept of Cloud Architecture. The first studio – CLOUD Institution/Transvercity – looked at the design of Cloud Structures with the capacity to create or inspire novel forms of institution […]

ARCH-4980.3 | Carla Leitao, Adjunct Professor THE NEW DEMOCRATIC SPACE An Expression of Potential Legislation CAITLIN GORDON This project looks into the field of political science and, specifically, local legislation and elections to develop spatial connections which reorganize and foster community interaction. Despite the numerous advances in methods of communication which have been utilized to […]

ARCH-4980.3 | Carla Leitao, Adjunct Professor URBAN GROWTH APPROACHED THROUGH MATERIALISM ADAM PETELA Stepping back and understanding the final result (the urban footprint) of city growth maintains an acceptance of the complex systems which contribute to an urban area, but simultaneously eliminates requirement to investigate each and every system individually. One of the broadest players […]

ARCH-4980.3 | Carla Leitao, Adjunct Professor POST-OLYMPIC URBANISM Agent-based Modeling as a Tool for Organization ALEXANDER KLAFEHN The influence of parametric software as a tool for creating forms and spaces has exploded over the past decade, spawning new directions for how the design process can be managed. This thesis looks at the use of evolutionary […]

ARCH-4980.3 | Carla Leitao, Adjunct Professor THE SOCIO-ECOLOGICAL NETWORK PATRICK McANDREWS The Socio-Ecological Network is the establishment of a symbiotic relationship between the components of a social network and an ecologic network. The social network is the society and hierarchy that develops codes of conduct for member and context interactions. The ecological network is the […]

ARCH-4980.3 | Carla Leitao, Adjunct Professor RECONSTITUTION OF THE OLYMPIC STADIUM SHELDON PEI In recent years, the stadia built for the Olympics or the World Cup are left unprepared for their legacy after their intended event. Most of the stadia are underused and soon labeled as “White Elephants” as they are accumulating more debt than […]

ARCH-4980.3 | Carla Leitao, Adjunct Professor DEATH OF A STADIUM SEAN BURNS The thesis is interested in the architectural implications from projecting future conditions of athletic competition and sports events as cultural artifacts. The project creates a scenario where sport events can happen in any suitable condition, provided there are athletes, a field, pitch, or […]

ARCH-4980.3 | Carla Leitao, Adjunct Professor IRRADIANT CITY The Politics of the Envelope PHILIP VERNON Information and material are always simultaneous. Thus, as a material and spatial practice, architecture can rigorously examine information technologies. Far from one killing the other, the substantial overlap between architecture and telecommunications provides a serious territory of speculation with real […]

ARCH-4980.2 | Julia Watson, Assistant Professor NOMADIC INFRASTRUCTURE LAUREN THOMSEN A disaster is not necessarily a singular catastrophic event. It can be an ongoing, complex process that nevertheless demands urgent attention. Increased global instances of drought are slow disasters that impact ecosystems, infrastructures and communities throughout the world. These situations, such as the current drought […]

ARCH-4980.3 | Carla Leitao, Adjunct Professor THOUGHTFUL CATASTROPHE KATELYNN RUSSELL The research began with an interest in erosion and self-organizing particles. There are opportunities in transitioning moments where built environments are needed for a short amount of time, helping with the transition and then are no longer needed. We will refer to this transitioning time […]
