jesus BANUELOS: This thesis is an investigation of velvet and its qualities in an effort to forge new possibilities for liminal space. This investigation started by looking at contemporary architectural projects and a large part of them had building skins that stopped on the second level and introduced a new system to deal with the ground plane and threshold.

lindsey COHEN: This project is about re-examining the way a cathedral is typically experienced. It takes the traditionally flat, horizontal circulation and verticalizes it, allowing users to participate more fully in the space of the cathedral. Instead of being overwhelmed by the grand scale of the cathedral from the ground, visitors inhabit the space and can move vertically through it.

dean DYSON: ‘The Renaissance Tower, Trieste’ recognises that in a world where natural resources are being stretched to the limits of human consumption the value of food and water becomes ever more important in world sustainability. In order to create ecological change first we must change. The proposal aims to suggest alternative methods for producing, experiencing and understanding agricultural industry combined through an array of innovative and alternative methods and processes. Through transformative and adaptive design, an industrial dockland wasteland is rehabilitated into a living, working landscape capable of reinventing and providing for a forgotten city.

isaie BLOCH: How boring has perfection become?
Evidence of this lies in the fact that our contemporary design obsessions are based on an appreciation for the perversity of mutant form, a taste learned from the movies and set to work on architecture.
By subverting the logic of perfection and beauty, non-perfect images coming from controlled methodologies are generated. What used to be about mastering the result of a non-perfect process is now about the production of monstrosity and the grotesque throughout accurate mechanisms.

thomas HILLIER: The Emperor’s castle originates from a mythical and ancient tale hidden within a woodblock landscape scene created by Japanese Ukiyo-e printmaker, Ando Hiroshige. This tale charts the story of two star-crossed lovers, the weaving Princess and the Cowherd who have been separated by the Princess’s father, the Emperor.

reiser+umemoto: We propose a dynamic 3-dimensional urbanism that takes advantage of the site’s unique lateral positioning with respect to the city grid. Existing public pedestrian flows along the proposed elevated boardwalk can be amplified, rather than interrupted by creating a continuous elevated public esplanade along the waterfront. Cruise and ferry functions, meanwhile, are located just below the public level and are kept distinct to maintain secure areas for departing/arriving passengers.
