Ryan HERNANDEZ: This project explores the idea of awkward architecture produced with a certain precision. The elements appear haphazard and ignored. The design seems to lack a certain amount of skill, though, these decisions are on purpose.

Ryan HERNANDEZ: How societies build for death varies and offers deep and solemn investigations into narrative, identity and form. We will earnestly deal with these topics with light and whimsical hearts.
Each figure in the continuous field is 20 ft. tall with a volume of 115 cu.ft. and constructed of poured in place concrete requiring 50 gal. of water, 300 lbs of cement, 800 lbs of fine aggregate (Human ash and sand). One human corpse produces 5 lbs of ash and one figure requires 60 humans. An average of 150,000 deaths in New Orleans (site: New Orleans, Old Algiers) can create 208 figures a month.

Jesus CORRAL: The goal of the project was to design a colony of single person cabins, ranging from 600-800 square feet. The project stood within a typical forest, that could possibly be found anywhere in the Midwest, United States.
Formally, I studied attributes that would not normally be taken seriously as architecture. Produced were balloon like forms, which tied around each other, along with box extrusions protruding from the shapes.

Critic: Thomas KELLEYsuckerPUNCH: Describe your project.
Kevin PAZIK: The Wrong Transfer is a shopping mall that acts and feels more like a single entity (department store) than a collection (shopping mall).
The shopping mall is an idealized impersonation of the city. The wrong transfer is not. The wrong transfer is a new shopping experience, it does not root itself in tradition by mimicking familiar urban phenomena to entice customers, like the Gruen or Jerde transfers, but rather it stems from a different familiarity: the department store. The wrong transfer is both the anchor store and the shopping mall.

Matthew SCHNEIDER: A cemetery proposal for New Orleans.
Distant cousins rely on the characteristics of familiarity and vagueness to garner affection from its participating audience. They are not only distant cousins to yourself, but also to each other, as their only tie to you is through an immediate family member and remain related to each other through the similar typologies.
