These tests allowed for confirmation and reaction to physical phenomena that a digital process could not reveal." "The students developed large physical headgear models in order to test ideas of light, space, and atmosphere. "The studio was asked to explore these concepts of light and atmosphere through the design of a centre for meditation and mindfulness.
Through controlled combinations, these 2d drawings were translated into 3d spatial constructs exploring notions of light and atmosphere. "The students began the semester investigating 2d drawing methodologies considering only 'known' geometries. Instagram: A Centre for Meditation and Mindfulness by Colin Bauman "The play on scale, density, layering, and aggregation generates an immersive environment that actively filters light, nature and atmosphere throughout the day." "Situated in between Olmsted's Holly and Cedar Ponds, this project recalls the wild grasses found around the site, while the petal-like platforms seemingly bloom throughout each of the four seasons evoking an evergreen oasis in the center of a deciduous forest. "The studio focused on deriving architectural inspiration from nature and the surrounding environment echoing Bernheim's original mission of connecting people to nature through art. "Students engaged with the Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest in Clermont Kentucky to propose an artist workshop and exhibition space. Tutors: Hannah Dewhirst, Brent Sturlaugson (with Jeff Fugate and Rebekah Radtke)Įverseason at the Bernheim Forest by Maggie Kinnel Students: Zahra Daneshvar, Amy Delgado, Jordan Griffin, Rosemary Harms, Cierra Johnson, Claire Kemp, Brian Lightner, Yasmin Mohamed, Cas McGuffey, Peiwen Qin and Dalton ShewcraftĬourse: First-year spring Graduate Studio "By establishing a network of projects, the exhibition showcases how communities might leverage an abundance of land-based resources to create healthier and more equitable futures." "The resulting exhibition, created by a team of graduate students in the School of Architecture and School of Interiors, presents a vision for developing sites in downtown Hazard and in the surrounding landscape. "In 2021-2022, students from the College of Design worked with community leaders in Hazard, Kentucky to develop project proposals that encourage social, economic and environmental sustainability. "Studio Appalachia is a multidisciplinary design studio that addresses regionally specific challenges through community engagement processes. Named after Kentucky's state butterfly, The Viceroy pavilion fans out and communicates with the surrounding environment and aims to inspire pedestrians."
"Our ambition is to revitalise the city of Lexington by creating a landmark that emphasises the creativity of Kentucky artisans.
"The winning proposal, The Viceroy by Emma Cockerham and Isaac Peck will be built this year and is currently in progress. "In partnership with the City of Lexington, second-year students engaged in 'Art on the Town', a competition that contemplated the role of the arts in the design of dynamic public space within the heart of the city's urban core. The Viceroy by Emma Cockerham and Isaac Peck "Each studio topic also demonstrates how architecture can have a positive impact at the local, regional, national and international level." "In addition to our pedagogical emphasis on the integration of digital technologies, the other undergraduate and graduate projects selected also represent our school's commitment to engage with local communities on issues such as housing, sustainable design strategies, public access to culture and community design. "The theme of the spring semester for the first-year undergraduate studio sequence was to consider the notion of object and field and how it relates to the negotiation of small-scale programme, inhabitation and context. "The students featured in this festival represent the breadth of our two programmes, with a particular focus on our undergraduate first-year spring studios, where we have fully integrated digital design technologies.
