Pedagogical experiments played very important role in shaping architectural discourse and practice in the second half of the 20th century. Along the history, the architecture discipline developed and struggled for new territories by articulating its relationship to the technological, socio-political and cultural transformations of the time -- and education became a vehicle for these actions. The rise of information technology brought sharing economy to urban life. Accessibility to spaces has been redistributed along with the notion of private and public territories. As companies starting to build platforms like Airbnb, Breather to accelerate the mixing of multi-programmatic spaces, institutional organizations tend to stay unchanged for their spatial arrangements. With the title of "Sharing School of Architecture", this thesis is putting together an argument as well as an attempt to push architecture school to the frontier of sharing economy by reimaging its spatial and programatic organization in the contemporary urbanism context, which eables architecture elements to access, curate and reinvent spaces into pedagogical programs. Instead of a static campus with traditional curriculum, architecture school should be an ever-growing network of spaces as part of urbanization, and a system continuously generating creative content that fullfills people's contenporary urban life.

This thesis explores how free play can be promoted, incentivized, and enabled through architecture to reinterpret the elementary school typology within the urban context of the Los Angeles Unified School District. The project is not a playground, but it is not just a school either. It functions as a play of ground that uses manipulated terrain to serve the programmatic needs of a school while also allowing for playful reinterpretation during its use. It combines the school yard with the school through the wielding of a visual datum of 56 inches that allows the space to be inhabited differently by adult faculty compared to young students. The system of ground is designed to be dextrous enough to create scalar variations in space and complex relationships between interior and exterior. It also exists as a recognizable language of objects, pauses, slopes and cliffs. These construct schools within schools, and rooms inside of other rooms serving students individually and collectively within a continuous volume where walls do not exist. In the end, the school tries to re-present a programmatically recognizable example of a typical school for the LAUSD. However, it does this while also creating a combination of play and school that is greater than the sum of those two parts and allows for scales of socialization that promote endless iterations of play.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is home to the oldest architecture school in the United States, yet curiously, this department has sat in the shadow of the other programs at MIT for much of its history. Today, however, the Department of Architecture is one in transition, between presidents, deans, and department heads. At this point it seems crucial to reevaluate the direction of this program. This project is meant to address three problems regarding the identity of the Department of Architecture: a lack of identity as seen by our students, identity as seen by the Institute, and identity as seen by the world of architecture. The goal of this thesis is to redesign the spaces which comprise our home at MIT. Specifically, the project seeks to house entire school together on MIT's main campus. Expanding and transforming the current structure of Bosworth's neoclassical buildings, this new School of Architecture provides for itself, the Institute, and the world, a visible new home for a neglected portion of MIT.

After years of British rule and a decade of civil unrest, rural communities in Sierra Leone were left with the residues of a colonial mentality and the psychological, physical and economic ravages of war. As a result, people are trapped in a mindset that discards vernacular architecture as obsolete and unpractical, and that associates modernity with the "concrete and zinc" model. Thriving to overcome extreme poverty, these villages plan to develop stronger economies and encourage education by building permanent school structures. The aim of this thesis is not to just provide villages with an economical school design, but to inspire a new mentality towards architecture and a construction system that can adapt to a diverse range of situations and be applied in Sierra Leone and beyond. In order for them to propose a new architecture; I suggest they 5 look back to their roots. The only way to produce sustainable and practically cost-free buildings is by making the most of locally abundant and renewable resources, such as earth to their full potential, thus giving an effective and interesting twist to traditional architecture. The new system breaks up the school into subunits that serve as a "kit of parts" that may be arranged to suit any condition. Furthermore, these individual units must take into consideration function, daylighting, waterproofing, and ventilation. When an entire community comes together to create exciting and innovative architecture, a new window of opportunity will be opened and a better standard of living can be reached.

Most schools in Sierra Leone are constructed using a standard design with little variation from building to building. They are relatively high-cost and have poor ventilation, lighting and thermal comfort. In January 2010, thirteen primary schools in Sierra Leone were analyzed in order to identify design changes that will improve performance and reduce costs. One struggle that this analysis revealed is that construction methods have not changed for decades, as local builders resist changes in the current design. This thesis aims to explain small-scale alterations for primary school buildings in Sierra Leone and list the impact on daylighting and thermal comfort performance for each alteration. For each design alteration, the daylight performance, air flow, and thermal comfort of the new design are compared to the standard design. The overall goal of this thesis is to create guidelines that can be used to reduce the risk of design changes and improve the performance of schools without raising costs.

(cont.) In this blurred area, a project/group-based curriculum can be developed to involve casual work areas that can fluctuate in size, based on the specifications of the project. Through the cultivation of this type of environment, the social energies of the students can begin to infect the rigid aspects of education in a positive way, thus creating an environment that is a mediated cross-fertilization of the social and the academic. The end goal is an involved type of learning that feeds off of the irrepressible social energies of the high school student.
"The present epoch will perhaps be above all other epochs of space. We are in an epoch of simultaneity: We are in an epoch of juxtaposition, the epoch of near and far, of the side by side, of the dispersed. We are at a moment I believe, when our experience of the world is less that of a long life developing through time than that of a network that connects points and intersections with its own skin." -Michel Foucault' Social Network Theory suggests that aspects of quantum systems can effectively describe a constantly evolving invisible web of live information that is entirely contingent upon the varying degrees of trust and social interaction among a defined group of people. Despite traditional assumptions about social structure, order, and hierarchical systems, a vast web of tacit knowledge (i.e. embodied, living information) evolves within a group of people, entirely due to naturally informal social interactions. When placed within the socially charged realm of the high school, this premise suggests that significant moves can be made in the design of a school (both in physical form and curricular format) in order to positively engage (rather than suppress) an educational program with the enduring social tendencies of a student body. My thesis proposes a high school with a distinct spatial layout that mediates between the student body's inherent manner of socially constructing information among peers, and the curriculum's way of academically propagating knowledge. The design incorporates a layering of densely programmed spaces that reveal void conditions or between spaces that are free to be programmed in a variety ways, thus providing opportunities to blur the often strict boundary between social space and academic space.

This thesis embraces the leftover spaces along the back alleyways and turns them into fronts. It proposes inhabitation of spaces below,above and in-between the warehouses through strategic and programmatically specific engagement. As such this project aims to devise a system that integrates both physical and sociological urban fractures.The site is the Los Angeles Fashion District. It is a place of constant transformation; with its evolving fashion trends, new techniques of production, a changing workforce and new buildings. Yet, despite all the sociological and technological changes, the apparel industry still remains labor intensive. Furthermore, the LA Fashion District concentrates the large number of recent immigrants who are mostly undereducated or uneducated. In response to this situation, I am proposing the School for Apparel Industry Workers. Modeled based on current education facilities for adult immigrants, it provides learning opportunities to the workers at their workplace. The school also acts as an architectural connector. It creates mutual relationships among buildings in the alleyways. Pleating, an apparel industry technique, is employed here as an architectural strategy to develop the system of the project that establish physical and sociological connections. It is also a tool in the organization of school programs as well as a technical solution in appropriating existing structures. Its structural and spatial flexibility exploits the diverse shapes extant in existing structures, providing both visual and physical connections between workplace and learning, while fostering greater acceptance and knowledge of immigrants in the community at large. Key words: immigrant, apparel industry, informality, school for immigrant workers, infill, pleat

In his essay, Studies in Tectonic Culture, Kenneth Frampton asserts that the built environment is "first and foremost a construction, and only later an abstract discourse." Building upon this logic, this thesis asks how can we evaluate and critique architecture on it's material, tactile and tectonic dimensions, as opposed to the purely figurative, spatial or iconographic representations that have become so commonplace in Modern architecture? In developing the notion that the architect serves as a link between available resources and the project's needs, this thesis aims to create a tectonic building system for a new middle school in Beichuan county, Sichuan Province, China. How can traditional construction methods and locally available materials be developed into a sound construction typology that will provide the flexibility to adapt to the various scenarios and sites that are inherent in a large scale project? How can it retain key design issues and serve as a catalyst for the future development of the surrounding community?

Full textCubism challenges our perception of depth, our tactile sense, our ideas of proportion. Cubism, as a 20th century movement, was in continuous exploration of the senses. Cubists challenged the conception of art, and consequently shaped and influenced many social movements of their time.
Like any human expression, art and architecture are in a continuous evolution. Both share the pursuit of perfection, the exploration of spatial, sensorial, and emotional feelings. Both are a part of us.
With all of these ideas in mind, I started to investigate and explore the idea of a skyscraper that would house an art school. Where the building and its inhabitants will contribute to its surroundings of the school.
There is the challenge of programing the art school into a vertical configuration and at the same time, this challenge offers the possibility of discovery for new organization of the school as a vertical world.
