G Spawned by the onset of the Umbrella Movement, residents of Hong Kong have been using a new method of communication, known as mesh networking, to subvert government surveillance of private conversations that can occur when communicating through the traditional t e l e c o m m u n i c a t i v e medium. A similar change in the formation of public space in Hong Kong would create community sized spaces that do not currently exist within existing standardized residential towers. A system of space sharing, the “Space-Time Menu”, would give residents access to larger semi-private spaces for dining, growing food, exercise and mental health. The system would also engage users in conversation and increase chances for random interactions within the building, encouraging the theory of community through familiarity and recognition. The spaces themselves can be adapted and combined to fit users’ needs through a curtain system of varying privacy levels.

FLOOR 20 - existing PLAN 3-tiered curtain system:

- Outer Tier made of transparent plastic: -diffuses sound -allows sight

- Middle Tier made of steel/aluminum mesh: -allows sound -blurs sight

- Inner Tier made of draped fabric: -blocks sound -blocks light

Pulling these curtains to different points allows for varying levels of privacy based on personal desires, and allows pods to be combined into larger spaces.

NIA Located in the heart of

Philadelphia, the University of the arts radiates the creative energy associated with Broad and South streets. Yet until now, that energy has not manifested itself in architectural identity. In this proposal, program pieces dance around a path weaving up through the building, connecting students of different disciplines. The public are treated to the performance of the everyday lives of the students through a triangular window cut from the corner of the building, which simultaneously pays respect to the neighboring ministry. The student HUB is a place for people to work, interact, and view projects of budding artists.

K The main initiative of an art academy is to give travelling artists a haven for their studies in an environmentwith which they may or may not be familiar. For that reason, the temporary artist’s studio experience becomes the focus of the architectural program. In this design, the studios are treated with such prominence as they penetrate the facade and invokea push-pull dynamic with their residences. Similar spacial excercises are found in the residences themselves with their dual level plans, allowing for two seperate spacial indentities within a geometric whole; and in the focus public spaces,which are accessed by a staircase that weaves its way through the building and two lightwells, giving patrons glimpsesof their goal on their way to the exhibition at the summit. The building shares a similar relationship with the highine, giving pedestrians a glimpse into the minds of the artist while providing residents with social inspiration.

The rolling hills of central Pennsylvania are renowned for their fertile farmland. For that reason, it comes as little surprise that Penn State is one of the top agricultural schools in the country. This new building brings students closer to their science than ever by providing laboratory spaces in a new location: underground. For every visible above ground plant, there exists an immense root system below helping the plant obtain nutrients and stay grounded in its physical location. This dynamic is imitated in the design of this building. Uniquely deep green roof systems allow for the cultivation of plants directly above the labs where they are studies. Lightwell systems bring light into the building during the day, and exude a light glow out from the ground as students work after sundown. After a visitors journey through the building is complete, a funicular elevator is there at the bottom to bring you back to the surface.

The construction of the Berlin Wall left families and friends cut off from one another. And with the swirling political climate of the era, residents and tourists alike were unsure if and when they could be reconnected with their loved ones. It seemed as if the leaders themselves could not determine the best political course: Restrictions were set, repealed and reset. Barriers were constructed, demolished, and rebuilt. Hopes were deflated, buoyed, and deflated again. This uncertainty led people on the two sides of the wall to live through different perspectives, with points of connected memories scattered within each citizen’s individual timeline. This project is a manifestation of the uncertain timeline: two adjacent paths running parallel through time, yet divergent through experience.

The prompt for the 10-day 114th John Stewarson Competition was to design a “transformative space of separation and connection” along a section of Eberstrasse where the Berlin Wall used to stand

Sections through the timeline represent different moments for two separated family members. One side offers city views. The other, views of the garden. It is not until the convergence of the paths within the timeline where users can share in one experience.
