Course Information: ARCH 3502 design studio with focus building envelope Credits: 5 semester credit hours NY_ART_LivingIcon Humor Tribe Beauty Inspiration Happiness Vision Honesty Home Whimsical Expression Love Democratic Hearth Unpredictable Sophisticated Classic Quality Design Playful Nature Welcome Ironic Respect Creativity Tenderness Warmth Private space, working space and public space will merge into innovative hybrids and investigate the definition of mixed programs for vertical structures. Implemented into a contemporary large and dense urban setting in NYC, the project’s effects of luxury program mix, design_art culture and customized fabrication, play on Chelsea’s recent development concept of upscale residential designer brandhomes and art galleries. An elitist group of buyers is looking for the unique product to satisfy their quest for luxury and differentiation.
The studio will continue exploring “luxury residential space” and infuse the concept of deep surface with new ideas related to sculpture to understand the effect on sectional vertical density.
Students will in this regard investigate materials concerning building envelopes, art and sculpture concerning spatial ideas and innovative living-forms based on creative use adjacencies.
The entire design process will be structured in three incremental phases as provocations to isolate the individual design ideas and after spring break synthesize the outcome and finalize the project. Skin> understanding building envelopes & materials and applying the logic behind the effect of them > ornament and screens Formwork> understanding specific modeling tactics and applying the concept of space with differential orientations; understanding of early shape implications for MEP & structure; Interior > understanding the interrelationship created between shape, envelope and interior space and applying and modifying the effect on natural daylight and natural ventilation;
