Architecture Graduate Experience Video

Professor:

The Students are basically working directly on, on a kind of hypothetical city site. So these actually are buildings at a one to twenty scale and the idea is to create these connections and actually build, kind of a, a layered city that hovers above the existing streets.

Student:

So this will grow like a parasite, this will expand horizontally and vertically, and they’re all interconnected with each other.

Professor:

I was just thinking about what would happen if you applied those rules to different conditions. For example, the space between two buildings. Or better yet, the space inside of a building. Like another project that hangs over the edge of a roof, it’s already in tension. But I think, I think that’s the real beauty of the project, is that it’s that mutable, it’s that flexible.

Student:

My intent was to have these be made offsite and brought in, and put into place, suspended on these tension members that would wrap all the way around the building. Inside this first space would be a tv and also a small sofa, and in this space here is the bed.

Professor:

Are these removable, can you add more of them?

Professor:

You could develop a door system where when you’re sleeping it actually disengages. So you can actually look at this façade and see who’s sleeping and who’s awake.
