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.

Stefano PASSERI: “Inside and Outside are inseparable, but they’re different worlds. Outside, everything is clear: comfortable distance, 45-degree daylight from top left, you know where you stand, you calculate and measure. . . .”

Marie-Sophie STARLINGER: The exploration of the relationship of inside to outside has been a constant in the discipline. Two main approaches have flourished in the architectural discourse in the past decades: the visual perception of exterior and interior, and the physical relationship of envelope to interior mass.

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.

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: 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 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.
