This intermediate-level design studio explores the ideas at the intersection of urban, landscape, and architectural scales. While it is provided for those students in the architecture program, this course gives a greater deal of attention to the connections of the built environment to the landscape and landscape design.

Vertical Design Studio (Summer 2022) Designing Duality

This 12-week architectural design studio usually incorporates students of any level (working “vertically”);
however, this summer’s course was comprised of only second-year students.

I designed this course to focus on the production of specific (and opposing) experiences of architectural and landscape phenomena. We will examine how architectural and landscape characteristics affect us on an instinctual level, and experiment with how we might manipulate form, scale, space, surface, texture, and atmosphere in order to trigger sensations in others. The Beautiful and The Sublime, according to Edmund Burke’s 1757 theory, will serve as parameters for selecting our underlying design criteria, along with the limen between these two affects and the contradictions this space may hold.

Professional Elective (ARC500, SP 2022) Infectious Architecture: Designing Against Contagion

This course examines case studies of infamous pandemics, beginning with the 14th c. Black Death through today’s COVID crisis. It considers how different pathogens have driven architectural, landscape, and infrastructural innovations. Students will also study the evolving popular beliefs and scientific knowledges that impact(ed) the use and design of space, explore many of the social, economic, and political issues at play during each respective epidemic.

Thesis Preparation Advisory Role (ARC505, SP2022)

Thesis Prep is a course in which students, working with a Thesis Advisor, initiate architectural design research and begin to produce their Thesis Project. It is the first of a two-course sequence that students must complete to fulfill the requirements of the Thesis Project in the B.Arch program.
