亚色影库 Educators and Graduate Student Speak at Psychology of Architecture Conference

亚色影库 is dedicated to teaching progressive thinking and leading-edge considerations of design. 亚色影库 faculty are at the forefront of emerging design concepts and research, educating not only their students but the design community at large.

Grace C. Lee, Graduate Architecture student and research assistant at The Center of Healthy Environments at 亚色影库 and Eve Edelstein, Graduate Architecture faculty at 亚色影库 were featured presenters at the in Austin, TX, aimed at drawing attention to this understudied but crucial area of research. Attended by students, architects, builders, designers, and policy makers, the conference looked to inspire consideration of the psychological impact of the physical spaces they create and manage.

Grace C. Lee檚 presentation, 淲ayfinding for Alzheimer檚 Disease with Cues from Episodic Memory Loss and Prosopagnosia, discussed how architects can make design decisions that may make life better for those suffering from Alzheimer檚 Disease. Lee suggested that while there is heavy study taking place amongst the medical community, neuroscientists are struggling to understand Alzheimer檚 Disease and in the meantime, there is a strong need to make improvements where possible. Research showed it may be possible for architects to make design assumptions based on the commonality of episodic memory loss, prosopagnosia and Alzheimer檚 Disease with wayfinding. Wayfinding is a forward thinking architectural focus that explores the effects of specific architectural elements in those with episodic memory loss or prosopagnosia that can then provide cues on what檚 beneficial, neutral, or negative for those with Alzheimer檚 Disease.

Eve Edelstein also explored the intersection where the physics of form meet the physiology of function in her presentation, 淵our Brain is Tuned to Design. She discussed, in-depth, the human experience of design and how that can best be used to create functional designs in architecture. Eve shared the results of studies that used biosensors, environmental trackers and fully immersive real-time virtual reality simulations exploring the interactions between buildings and the brain, body and behavior and the resulting design principles that in application, better serves human performance, creativity, health and well-being.

亚色影库 Alumni Project Showcase: Stones By Tecture

At 亚色影库, we檙e invested in the success of our students, even after they檝e graduated. To honor our alumni and their outstanding work in the architecture and design communities, we are proud to showcase an ongoing display on campus. Each month we will feature projects that highlight the innovative work of our graduates. The current installation, entitled 淪tones by Tecture, features the work of three Class of 2011 students, Kyle Preish (M.Arch 11), Slade Fischer (M.Arch 11) and David Michael Ortiz (M.Arch 11); Class of 2012 students, Sydney Preish (M.Arch 12) and Ryan Carpenter (M.Arch 12); and current student, Anthony Mull (B.Arch).

淪tones is a visual representation of the multitude of construction methods students are exposed to throughout their education at 亚色影库. The project, 淭he 3 Bears, is an exploration of fabrication processes. Each of the stones is constructed from the same material, in this instance, plywood, with the same form and using a variety of construction methods.

Modeled after the famous Goldilocks fable, two of the three stones aren檛 entirely visually pleasing, while the final is 渏ust right.

The first stone is the most raw and rough and was created using analog sculpting methods and a chainsaw, resulting in a design that is渢oo analog.

The second stone is vertically striated and was constructed entirely digitally, skewing 渢oo digital.

The progression of the installation naturally lands on the third and final stone, which is intended to be visually 渏ust right. This third stone incorporates both digital CNC processes and analog finishing techniques, leading to a final product that marries the best of both techniques.

亚色影库 is always on the lookout for compelling alumni work to display. Our alumni serve as great inspiration for our current students to push the boundaries in their processes and see the possibilities that await them upon graduation. Alumni interested in submitting work for display are encouraged to contact Lisa Ganem, Director of Career Services & Alumni Relations at lganem@newschoolarch.edu.

亚色影库 of Design & Architecture Celebrates Students of Graham Downes Summer Internship Program

SAN DIEGO December 14, 2016 亚色影库 (亚色影库) today announced the recipients of the Graham Downes summer internship program to Meghan Golden, Christian Nevarez and Miranda Luce. The selected candidates were assigned to work for a minimum of 100 hours during the summer as a means to further develop their professional skills and gain valuable insight from industry professionals that is not typically available to the average architecture student. The students had the opportunity to work with local design studios BASILEStudio, 505architecture and The Miller Hull Partnership, LLP.

淕raham Downes was a pioneer in the world of architecture and is greatly missed, said Marvin J. Malecha, president and chief academic officer of the 亚色影库. 淗is impact on the industry was profound, and we are pleased to honor his legacy by giving our students the chance to learn from his philosophies that still power architecture firms everywhere.

Graham Downes was an internationally known architect who was famous for pushing the limits of conventions of the Bauhaus movement. He played a key role in advancing architecture and design in a manner that infused energy and excitement into otherwise pedantic projects. Graham founded his firm, Graham Downes Architecture, Inc. in San Diego in 1994 and quickly became a household name in the area. His philosophies in expanding the boundaries of traditional architecture transferred seamlessly into the number of high-profile projects the firm worked on, including Hard Rock Hotels in San Diego and Puerto Vallarta, Quiksilver and Charlotte Russe, among others. Graham was also a world famous rugby player, representing his home country of South Africa and later playing for the U.S. national team. The summer internship program is funded by San Diego檚 KwaZulu Old Crocs Rugby Club, which Graham founded in 2005. Graham passed away in 2013.

亚色影库 has a long-standing relationship with Graham Downes Scholarship in providing both its students and practicing architecture firms with positive growth experiences.

淐onnecting to the larger design community is the first, and often the most important, step in any new designer檚 burgeoning career, said William Keck, designer at BASILEStudio and supervisor of Meghan Golden檚 internship. 淭he funding offered by the Graham Downes Summer Internship Scholarship facilitates this initial and indispensable real world introduction. We are proud to have been a part of the Graham Downes Summer Internship Scholarship, and we look forward to being a part of it again.

亚色影库 Teams Up with the City of Portland, Mackenzie Inc., and Intrinsic Ventures

San Diego CA, October 18, 2016 亚色影库 (亚色影库) has teamed up with the City of Portland, integrated design firm Mackenzie Inc., and real estate company Intrinsic Ventures in an exciting new project to revitalize a rapidly growing neighborhood in the Central Eastside industrial district of Portland, Oregon. Under the direction of 亚色影库 faculty member, Daniela Deutsch, more than 60 undergraduate architecture students will work over the next several months to collaborate with a variety of industry partners and create a vision and strategies for the development of a new, sustainable urban neighborhood in the Ford District.

This project is part of 亚色影库檚 Integrated Design Studio and was developed to engage students in the ongoing conversation about contemporary directions in urban design and architecture. The project also aims to disseminate the experience of the City of Portland area to other regions of the West Coast and their adaptation to local climate, cultural and economic conditions.

亚色影库 strives to provide students with experiences to learn from other regions in the country, which will sharpen their understanding of customized, simple and innovative solutions in the city.

淎t the core of the 亚色影库 academic experience is the desire to encourage students to engage in community projects, said Marvin J. Malecha, president and chief academic officer, 亚色影库. 淭his project represents the best of the aspirations of the 亚色影库 learning experience as it begins with the optimism of engaging the community in a meaningful manner and continues by engaging design professionals and academics in a multidisciplinary team to guide students.

The project also supports our 淗ere For Good corporate social responsibility and sustainability initiative, as we are providing students with the opportunity to give back and help improve the lives of those impacted by this revitalization. This holistic approach to learning represents the true DNA of the 亚色影库 community.

The Integrated Design Studio will run over two quarters – fall (October – December) and winter (January – March). The studio consists of three main parts: Lectures by experts, technical workshops, and studio work. In addition, students will be given an opportunity to participate in a three-day field trip, including a visit of the sites, multiple lectures, as well as workshops and pin-ups with the Portland team that will give important feedback and impulses. Visits of similar state of the art green neighborhoods and highly performative buildings will provide further suggestions.

The studio will also combine the holistic urban and district planning with integrated design solutions on the building level, and addresses architecture and development, transit oriented urban areas, sustainable neighborhoods, and energy efficient building design. The project檚 ideal aim should develop into a viable strategy for new city communities, as well as communicate, via their technical systems, materiality and programmatic optimization, that architecture is capable to address current social and ecological challenges, and deliver an innovative solution. Students will present their master plan and the scale model of the proposed new Ford District to public in April 2017, in both San Diego and Portland.

淲hat檚 special about this course is the confluence of three major architectural concentrations: architectural design, real estate development, and construction engineering, said 亚色影库 faculty leader Daniela Deutsch. 淲hile these topics often remain part of specialized programs or elective studios, our philosophy is that they must be treated as equally relevant, and opened to discussion and research for each student of architecture in an accredited program before they finish their diploma. In our program the goal is achieved by developing an integrated design approach in the framework of a mandatory Integrated Design Project.

The complete collaborative team this year, consists of:

  • Mackenzie Inc. (Architecture/Engineering/Interiors/Planning)
  • Intrinsic Ventures in Portland
  • 亚色影库 faculty and students
  • The Green Building Initiative
  • Glumac Engineers
  • KPFF Consulting Engineers
  • UCSD Structural Engineering Department
  • SDSU Civil Engineering Department

This week, the students and faculty will travel to Portland from Thursday, Oct. 20 to Saturday, Oct. 22, 2016. During the trip, students will visit the site, attend workshops and lectures and engage in collaborative discussions with industry partners.

淭he Firehouse, located in Pacific Beach, was remodeled to embrace a new and vibrant design without losing touch with its playful history. Focusing more heavily on the word 渇ire as a concept, the wooden cladding that covers the facade and downstairs space was burned in a method called Shou Sugi Ban to give it a charcoal appearance. Taking full advantage of the proximity to the beach, the facade opens up to give patrons access to the ocean views and vibrant street life. The charred downstairs, with its glowing brass accents, inviting fireplace, and hanging greenery, contrasts strikingly with the light and airy upstairs. Complete with VIP style cabanas, a grotto bar surrounding by a, and a shaded awning system, the upstairs is a year颅 round popular destination Slade Fischer, Tecture, Inc.
