Abstract by Andrea Hunniford The New York Public Library’s Central Building, constructed just over a century ago, is in the midst of a major renovation. The Library’s trustees have asked the architects at Foster + Partners to imagine the space currently occupied by the research collections’ closed book stacks as a new, publicly accessible, circulating library. The administration’s public relations strategy glosses over the meaning of this architectural reinterpretation, selling the renovation plan with...

ABSTRACT by Sebastian Strobel This thesis is a journey that unfolds alongside the transformations of a river during springtime. Moods and movements captured by Ted Hughes in his poem Stump Pool in April inspire a series of explorations that set out to express the affective vectors of the river’s becoming through sculpture and architecture. The thesis is a manifestation of this search. Arranged as a narrative in five chapters, each offers an account of the emergence...
ABSTRACT by April Wong The Dollhouse is a model of domestic life; its material framework, spatiality, passage, function and aesthetic describe the architectural construction of a domestic ideal. Yet, the Dollhouse is not simply an architectural model; it is made specifically to house a Doll. While architecture structures the movement of the body, social constructions mold the body as well as its image. Thus, both architectural and social frameworks come together simultaneously to form the cast of the Dollhouse, for which the Doll is molded to fit....
Monday and Thursday are studio days. On these days in particular, the third floor undergraduate studio is filled with a frenetic energy of design, research and exploration.

Every Monday we’ll share a completed project, churned out from this energetic studio environment. Arch 493 / Andrew Levitt studio coordinator Comprehensive Design Studio Project...

Monday and Thursday are studio days, even in Rome. Overlooking the vibrant Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere is the fourth year studio, a chaotic but cozy space immersed in the frenzy of the ancient city. Trips to Melville are replaced by frequent trips to Cafe San Calisto and empty wine bottles litter the studio. When the class isn’t off sketching their way through the north and south of Italy, they can occasionally be found hunched...
UWSA students are always looking for new good eats- especially cheap good eats. Well look no further than the new sausage truck parked in the Southworks parking lot. Well, it’s not actually a truck, more of a cart really. Owner and sausage maker, Rob Marriott, tells me how he became uninspired and worn out at his job working with industrial hazardous materials. He quit his job and decided to follow his true love- making food...
