Archeyes: Competition: Project 10 to the 100

Do you have an idea that could change the world for the better and truly make a difference? Google thinks with all the information out there that the ideas have been generating for a long time. Google set up a platform for these ideas to flourish; whether the idea is for a new invention, new architectural design, modified water purification system, etc. they wanted to hear ideas from anyone.

They created a whole project dedicated to that idea called 10 to the 100th. For their 10th anniversary they have committed to invest $10 million dollars in a winning idea(s). The deadline to submit ideas has passed...and so has the voting... I have been trying to find the winners but no luck so far.

The idea is kinda like the movie pay it forward... where a collective idea and wisdom can be passed between people at a very rapid speed thus making the word a better place by pushing for change together (strength in numbers).

Project 10 to the 100

Phenomena: Arch Vanguard Gala

The Master of Architecture class of 2010 wanted to instill new traditions  at our school.  I was in charge, with a team of 2 others to design, coordinate, and create the Arch Vanguard Gala for 90+ individuals.  The design our team decided would envoke ideas of change, innovation, and a reflection to the past.  

We designed the atmosphere to be reminiscent of the avant-garde era of architecture because of the new and unusual methods and ideas the designers used and developed.

Thesis: Wentworth Celebration Poster

Thesis: Final Crit

Thesis Statement: Landmarks and historic sites throughout the city have become cliche’ and kitschy, overlooked and then delegated to the realm of tourism. The people, who work and live in the city, are in turn, disassociated from these spaces because they do not engage these sites in their everyday activities. By focusing on one of these detached environments, this thesis will respond to issues of memory, perception, and the potential for the human activity of local cultures to inspire new and vibrant relationships within these neglected spaces of the city. A series of interventions will be developed that link and connect the tourist aspect of these environments with the everyday activities of the city’s inhabitants. The existing infrastructure that links these zones will also be redeveloped, rethought, and modernized. These associations will demonstrate how memory and the sense of place can provide the city’s inhabitants with a strong connection to the site.

Thesis: Finals: Sections

Thesis: Boston Common Site: Prelim Plan

Homeless Halfway House/ Shelter With Integrated Community Learning Kitchen, Support Faclities, and Restaurant Hall

This plan has been changed since my pin up on Thursday.  The overall idea of the plan is beginning to work, the sections that work with this plan are not what I want the architecture to look like at all.  The form is beginning to draw the city into the space, while directing the eye and user towards the history located on the site.
