Information MattersHouse and Garden for Information Theorist
The information theorist X, who is based on a character in, Last Year at Mariendbad, commissioned a house and garden for a new sector in ConstantNieuwenhuys project, New Babylon. Using information diagrams from other disciplines, this project explores the understanding of the role of cultural contextin determining meaning in representational systems. The house accomplished a direct link from exterior and interior spaces and allows X to move freelyfrom his garden to his special rooms. Although not very social, X entertains guests with movies, because he is an avid film watcher. A, another characterfrom the movie, lives in the detached guest house, forever unreachable by X. Yet A is closest to X when he is in his favorite space, the garden.

Expo 2012Golden Rice Expo PavilionExpo 2012 is designed around a new technology and its effects on architectural discourse. The expo, located on an abandoned air field,includes a 144 x 144 x 72 box that contains artist exhibition pavilions. This expo pavilion is designed around the emerging technologyof genetically engineered Golden Rice. Golden rice tastes the same as white rice yet provides the body with Vitamin A. This vitamin isdesperately needed in Asia to prevent millions of malnutrition related deaths. Upon arriving at the site, visitors are unable to see the full
landscape until they have first entered the main building, been given an overview of Golden Rice, and then elevated over a Golden Ricepaddy. Visitors can taste Golden Rice at the cafe and proceed through the expo to the artists gallery or observe the scientists at work.

Envelope LoftShotgun ShackEnvelope Loft addresses the body in space and time and considers the rationalization and idealization of occupants inhabiting the design space with the conventional notions of program. The design is focused on anoperational envelope which is based on certain actions that unfold in space and time. The shotgun shack allows for two occupants to co-inhabit an unusually dimensioned space with respect to privacy. Light floods thepublic spaces yet dissipates for the private spaces creating a place appropriate for sleeping.

Idea of FurnitureChair-Table
2012: ARCH 6410Accelerated Architectural Design
Stephen TurkThe Idea of Furniture addresses the body in space and time using the works of Frank and Lillian Gilbreths Chronophotography as an example. Both noun, envelope and verb, envelop, are reevaluated to change the ideaof a chair. The chair-table project combines two separate needs into one piece of furniture. Users can sit up for certain activities or lounge and let the table come to them. The table chair works with the user in real
time to provide the optimum comfort and usability for the duration of its use.

Blue Cube2013: ARCH 6420
Accelerated Architectural Design 2Karen Lewis
The blue cube explores the meaning of blue and cube individually. This design encompasses the feeling blue since the cube is missing
pieces and is, therefore, blue. Although the cube is not whole, it is still easily recognized as a cube. The diagrams explore different
scenarios to visualize how much can be taken away and yet still have a cube emerge as the shape.

Artist PavilionCalder ExhibitThe Calder Exhibit compliments the works of Calder by changing over time. Because the shadows of the mobiles are always changing, the exhibit also changes. The walls slide or can be removed, and the stairs and ta-ble are movable allowing the visitors to have a new experience every time they come. By moving walls or ceiling plates, light enters the exhibit in new places and creates new shadows. A visitor can walk up the stairs
to see the works at a new level, or observe the changing shadows as each new visitor enters.
