After recently completing their Experiential Frameworks projects, second-year students in the Design IV studio course, taught by Profs. Ken Marold, Francesco Cianfarani and Anthony Cricchio, have placed these projects on display on the main floor of Gibbs College of Architecture.
The students re-imagined a vacant alleyway on campus. The assignment asked them to develop this alleyway as a “dynamic, interactive space with relationships between objects and structure through compositional analyses and tectonic modeling.”
The students were asked to consider the use of iconic imagery, wind, light, and circulation paths in their designs.
“The most difficult aspect of this project was developing a structural framework that could incorporate the programmatic needs of the project,” said Dean White, a student in the class.
“This lesson taught me that every aspect of a structure is interdependent. Misplacing one structural piece would cause the entire structure to become unstable, both structurally and visually.”
Check out the projects located in the Gould Hall living room’s glass cases.
