Reviews! Thesis 1 On-Site...

We are very pleased that our Thesis 1 Students did so well at presenting their thesis ideas and design concepts for their first design review. Here is a sampling of what we saw.



Jason Jordan, CONTROLLED TRANSIT: Directing Urban Chaos
Architecture can re-focus the urban experience through designed interventions strategically placed within and throughout the city.




Stacey Poppel, RECALL: Spatiality that creates Connections for Memory
Architecture as a series of experiences that are remembered. The act of forgetting is too common so this thesis explores the creation of spaces that allow for spatial connections - establishing points through a series of spaces that can spatially reference past experiences -> creating the RECALL of the journey and so that the experience can make connections.



Mike Vala, A NEIGHBORHOOD: Community Development with Families in Mind
Exploring the transitions from public to private, commercial to residential, city to family and how architecture can effect those thresholds.
