This project explores the idea of creating orientation through a density gradient and creating community through shared walking paths with visually unique homes. In a world that is becoming decentralized, people need to be connected where they are.
Design Dialogue Student Exhibition was an event hosted at the BAC’s Cascieri Hall that featured an opening lecture from Ian Taberner AIA, the BAC’s Director of Thesis and winner of the controversial Kent State Memorial design competition. Following the lecture was a review and discussion of the 23 featured projects exhibited. The projects stayed up for the following week where feedback could be accumulated anonymously through post-it notes. This event was extremely well-recieved and I am very proud of the work of myself, Allyson, and Ian put in to make this happen.
Architecture Studio 2 / Abigail Vu
This project explores how view, light, and circulation can increase the percieved activity of space. This counterintuitive approach to transit design creates congestion rather than dispersing it, activating the space. A play of volumes and materials organize these interactions, binding main spaces to the local context.
