“Studio J is research collaborative that examines the use of experimental geometries in architecture. It is currently working on a variety of architectural competitions and was just awarded a commission to design a seminary in Cincinnati, Ohio. Submission to the evolo skyscraper competition: The design of this skyscraper was created using ONLY the animation features in form•Z 6.0. . .
“The Interstitial House is a project which seeks to examine the relationship between public and private spaces within a house. The design began with two cylinders which were representing, at a diagrammatic level, the public and private spaces. The cylinders were manipulated and studied through a series of physical models in clay and form•Z that examined the relationships of the two cylinders as they were manipulated and modified. . .
“The fourth year studio is a capstone, senior level architectural design studio spanning two academic quarters. The studio is “comprehensive” in that students are expected to bridge the chasm between the ephemeral nature of poetic design and the mundane reality of construction. They are responsible for incorporating structural, mechanical and construction realities into their designs not as something to add once the design is complete but, rather, as a source of stimulation throughout the design process. To test their ideas students are expected to construct large-scale physical models of their design, showing details such as mullions and connections. . .
“This past year auto•des•sys granted Awards of Distinction for the Joint Study Program in seven categories: Architectural Design, Interior Design, Fabrication, Product and Industrial Design, Visualization/Illustration, High Schools, and Animation. The awarded students received a license of form•Z RadioZity. Honorable mentions were also granted at the Acadia Annual Conference in October 2004. . .
