David Brian HARROP: My proposal for the micro-unit housing tower uses a system of cracks into the mass of the tower to not only allow for a system of aperture but also a system with very specific aesthetic qualities.

There is a conflict in the aesthetics of the cut flower. It is a living thing purposely severed and put on display through the abstraction of a vase. A flower vase has three primary objectives. The first is to hold water suspending the flower’s death.

The legacy of the Bauhaus is defined in large part by a multiplicity of identities and tensions which contribute to its continuing vitality nearly a century after its founding. It would be a reduction of the complexity of the Bauhaus to divide it cleanly into a technical side and an expressive side, yet technical and expressive factors were often in conflict and in conversation throughout its history. . . .

Rajika MAHESHWARI & Roza PATTAH: The Natatorium condenses the European coastal culture of cove hopping from town to town; the arched trajectories of this pilgrimage are inverted and brought indoor to a Natatorium, promoting exploration and meandering from pool to pool within the building.

Isaac MICHAN: The objective of architecture is works of art that are lived in. The city is the largest, and at present the worst of such works of art. . . . The kinds of repetition and control that are now offered to the building industry can be edged towards a kind of dreamy neutrality. — Alison and Peter Smithson
