2010F_Arch Design 2_Combs Section
ARCH-2200 | Lonn Combs, Assistant Professor Material Manifestations: Archive and Exhibition Center for the Legacy of the Shakers Selected Student Work: The preservation of history through it’s material production is the subject of this core design studio.

2010F_Arch Design 2_Crembil Section
ARCH-2200 | Gustavo Crembil, Assistant Professor Material Manifestations: Archive and Exhibition Center for the Legacy of the Shakers Selected Student Work: In the context of a discipline that is desperate to experience materiality, craft is rarely mentioned today in architecture.

2010F_Design Studio_Seong Section
ARCH-2200 | Eunjeong Seong, Adjunct Professor The Knotted Construct Selected Student Work: The studio focused on exploring the fundamental relationship between body and space. Through investigation on bodily skeletal and muscular joints we employed terms such as the flow of forces and ability to act against force: students created new joint/joinery operations by conceptualizing the physical operation […]
2010F_Design Studio_Oatman Section
ARCH-2200 | Michael Oatman, Associate Professor The Knotted Construct Selected Student Work: Students began the fall First Year Design Studio by pairing off to make a structure that physically connected them for 8 hours. The design and fabrication of this linkage had to be carried out in silence, with the additional constraint of no written communication. This […]
2010F_Design Studio_Ionescu Section
ARCH-2200 | Serban Ionescu, Adjunct Professor The Knotted Construct Selected Student Work: Without words and without knowing, we universally interact in ‘Gesture’. The studio began with this gesture between two individual students attempting to communicate with each other outside their usual realms. Via a number system or a material to sync a singular goal. The ‘Gesture’ is […]
2010F_Design Studio_Blasetti Section
ARCH-2200 | Ezio Blasetti, Adjunct Professor The Knotted Construct Selected Student Work: “Fall 2010 commenced with an unusual assignment: students were paired at random and asked to design a structure that would physically link them for eight hours, during which they were to conduct daily activities. Occupants were to be kept no further apart than 6 feet […]
