Danny KARAS: M&N is a proposal for a competition proposed by ArchMedium for a fire house in San Francisco Port 30. The program includes rooms for living, working, and learning for the Fire Department. This thesis project draws most of its inspiration from a simple idea: repeating seemingly similar elements to create an off-kilter harmony.

Cody CLANCY, Zach HOFFMANN, Alyssa JOHNSTON, & Braden SCOTT: In a studio designed to address such issues as eco-logics in architecture and the ungrounding of an object, one of our interests was to use the normative rendering engine as a machine to produce a drawing and in that sense capture the essence of craft in architecture.

MONAD Studio (Eric GOLDEMBERG & Veronica ZALCBERG): “Abyecto” is an installation designed and fabricated at FIU and resulting from the collaboration between students and faculty members in architecture and music. An ironic play of words, the title refers to recent discussions about object-oriented ontology in contemporary design.

Xueqi BAI, CHEN Danfeng, Joseph SARAFIAN, Matt WHITHAM, Hun-Tao YU, & Xianshuang ZENG: Exploring the relationship between the component, the object, and the aggregation, this series of transformations begins with a cuboctahedron and subdivides it internally and externally. The interior geometry is severed into four pieces that can be assembled in various configurations while the exterior is transformed with a series of recursive subdivisions.

Samer AFIFI: What if it was possible to create a megastructure but have the freedom to mold it to match the needs and requirements of its inhabitants and site? A megastructure is an idea of a different type of city and life, but so far megastructures lacked the malleability to accommodate the large scope of difference in spaces, programs, inhabitants, and still maintain the freedom of its form. . . .
