    An Architect has an ego. An architect is not easily influenced. An Architect has no affiliation to anyone but themselves. (We all agree) Maybe we’re all wrong.

  • Emily CHEN CHOI, Deep Facade. Model.
    los angeles CALIFORNIA

    SCI-Arc
    advisor: Florencia PITA

    suckerPUNCH: Describe your project.

    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.

    SCI-Arc
    advisor: Marcelo Spina

    suckerPUNCH: Describe your project.

    Ziba ESMAEILIAN: This thesis investigates the notion of duality in architecture by working across multiple genres rather than within a single one. It focuses on the notion of “productive dichotomy” as a form of development that aims not to dissolve opposites, erasing their contrast, but aims instead to bring them together into an even more complex state of dualism.

  • Alex PHI, Segregated Monoliths.

    SCI-Arc
    advisor: Florencia PITA

    suckerPUNCH: Describe your project.

    Alex PHI: Typically, a monolithic structure is solid, unbroken, rigid, invulnerable, and whole. A true monolithic piece of architecture is large and unified with no recognizable parts. The investigation deals with displacing and dislodging both formal and organizational aspects of a building while retaining a sense of wholeness.

  • Nick SAFLEY, Animal House.
    ann arbor MICHIGAN

    University of Michigan, Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning
    advisor: Ellie ABRONS

    suckerPUNCH: Describe your project.

    Nick SAFLEY: Animal House proposes a series of above ground tornado shelters placed within suburban homes and figured as architectural characters. Normally these exist as generic steel or reinforced concrete boxes hidden within the wall cavity and possessing extreme material durability to resist extreme weather that might destroy the structure around it. Taking the suburban single-family house as site these hyper-durable cores are freed and given personas and postures that enrich the interior with implied subjectivity and vitality.
