Emily CHEN CHOI: Deep Facade is a thesis that privileges the façade as an architectural element and pushes the façade to become the entire architectural experience. Traditionally, a façade operates as a two dimensional element that indexes the building and establishes boundary. It is the threshold that separates the interior from exterior, indicating a change in experience as one approaches and enters a building. By thickening the facade to an extreme, Deep Facade challenges this traditional notion of a thin surface facade, thereby prolonging the cadence of entering a building and blurring the distinction between interior and exterior.

kyle MILLER: This design proposal for rehabilitating the Pushinsky Cinema Facade in Moscow seeks to showcase and celebrate the virtual aesthetic potentials latent in non-representational architectural surface design, design which strategically employs color, pattern, texture, and translucency to create non-cognitive, visual sensations that leave the viewer void of mental representations and void of signified external imagery. The project is fundamentally about reconsidering ornamentation in contemporary architectural design and capitalizing on the capabilities of parametric design to simultaneously achieve variation and repetition across a field of self-similar building components (in this case, facade panels).
