ARCH4240/4250/4260/4360 (CASE) | Jefferson Ellinger, Assistant Professor and Graduate Director CASE Center for Architecture, Science, and Ecology Selected Student Work: The design studio at the Center for Architecture Science and Ecology seeks to develop design techniques in which environmental research; innovation, analysis and performance, is synthesized with what might be considered traditional design techniques to holistically […]
2012S_Arch Design 3_Vetcher Section
ARCH-2230 | Florencia Vetcher, Adjunct Professor Architecture Design 3: Housing Complex[ity] Selected Student Work: The house; the minimum habitation for the most basic human need of sheltering oneself from the elements is a category within Architecture that is rich of examples. By selecting a handful of 20th century canonical of houses for a concentrated study by […]
2012S_Arch Design 3_Saunders Section
ARCH-2230 | Andrew Saunders, Assistant Professor Architecture Design 3: Housing Complex[ity] Selected Student Work: One of major criticisms of modern housing projects has been the repetitive homogenous nature and the disregard for complexity and non-hierarchical heterogeneity. Much of this arises out of the closed compositional nature of many of the early projects resisting integration and or […]
2012S_Arch Design 3_Rehm Section
ARCH-2230 | Michael Casey Rehm, Adjunct Professor Architecture Design 3: Housing Complex[ity] Selected Student Work: This studio focused on leveraging architectural precedent analysis toward the production of innovative housing solutions. The first half of the semester involved the analysis of modern houses assigned by individual section instructors. Our studio focused on early modern and pre-modern houses […]
2012S_Arch Design 3_Perez Section
ARCH-2230 | Elena Perez Guembe, Adjunct Professor Architecture Design 3: Housing Complex[ity] Selected Student Work: Every human being dreams of a special place they would like to inhabit. As architects we project our best understanding of the poetics of habitation into the design of a house. How we move, socialize, intimate… designing a house requires an […]
2012S_Arch Design 1_Titus Section
ARCH-2210 | Anthony Titus, Assistant Professor Architecture Design 1 Selected Student Work: Prompted by Felix Guattar’s book, The Three Ecologies, we began the semester by imaging the implications of a social, environmental and mental ecology for the discipline of architecture. As a means of exploring these questions, students were presented with the challenge of re-imagining the […]
2012S_Arch Design 1_Oksiuta Section
ARCH-2210 | Zbigniew Oksiuta, Lecturer Architecture Design 1 Selected Student Work: The starting point of research is the human body. Body understood as the universal measure. Body comprehended not only as a physical entity that takes only dimension and scale into consideration but body as whole, as functioning organism. The aim is to awake our architectural […]
2012S_Arch Design 1_Dayem Section
ARCH-2210 | Adam Dayem, Adjunct Professor Architecture Design 1 Selected Student Work: The intent of this studio was to study interacting systems. In The Three Ecologies, Felix Guattari espouses thinking transversally across conventionally held systemic boundaries, i.e. natural / unnatural, human / non-human and material / immaterial. In the studio, transversal thinking across systems was applied […]
2012S_Arch Design 1_Bitoni Section
ARCH-2210 | Franics Bitoni, Adjunct Professor Architecture Design 1 Selected Student Work: In his book titled The Three Ecologies, philosopher and psychoanalyst Felix Guattari formulates a definition of ecology that operates at three scales. For Guattari, ecologies are constructed beginning with the individual, or self, aggregations of individuals then produce collective bodies. These collective bodies then […]
