blah blah Monospace fonts are dear to many of us. Some find them more readable, consistent, and beautiful, than their proportional alternatives. Maybe we’re just brainwashed from spending years in terminals? Or are we hopelessly nostalgic? I’m not sure. But I like them, and that’s why I started experimenting with all-monospace Web.

The synthetic iron ore project explores the potentials of an innovative material that blends synthetic biological compounds with traditional iron ore, creating adaptive, self-healing architectural elements. Imagine buildings that grow, change, and repair themselves, erasing the line between the built environment and natural growth. Through advanced additive manufacturing and a precise lattice structure, our material evolves in response to external stimuli, offering unparalleled durability and adaptability. This approach challenges perceptions of architecture, transforming buildings into dynamic, living entities that enhance sustainability and redefine our interaction with the urban landscape.

The current state of production relies on the extraction of ore from the earth through mining. The next step introduces flux to the mineral-bearing substances to separate metal from the minerals. During flux and addition of other metals, alloys are created, strengthening iron for use under more conditions.

_IMPLEMENTATION

_The Base Unit

The key design is the unit cell, showing the repeating patterns that dictate the arrangement of structural element.

_IMPLEMENTATION

_The Lattice System

The concept of our lattice structure comes from an exploration of a unit cell type that determines the most efficient geometry for our synthetic material’s fundamental building block.
The unit serves as the smallest repeating unit for complex large-scale structures. This mimics a natural crystalline process, making the replication system a strong and consistent geometry.

_IMPLEMENTATION

__Erosion, Repair & Restoration

Integrating the compound into existing materials can allow for self-sustaining eco-systems. This allows for material longevity and reduction of virgin materials used to construct the built environment.

_AT SCALE

This proposal showcases the lattice system in a pavilion form.
Where one is able to inhabit a lattice system brought to the human scale.

4A is the last core studio of the BArch program and named the Positions Studio. It is meant to prepare students for their thesis before they enter vertical studios, by exposing students to a range of positions and discussions surrounding a set of architectural issues. Since this is a core studio, we will share a common program, studio structure, and schedule, but it will be up to the individual student with his or her position to develop the formal articulation of the building, the particular interpretation of its function, and its specific location within a given territory. The studio will begin with students researching the unique positional viewpoints of different architects in order to develop the various aspects of an architectural proposal including the architectural program, an architectural form considering character, geometry and tectonics, and the articulation of a site. The outcome of the studio will be based on an individual student’s attempt to carefully articulate and integrate one or more positions in answer to the studio brief. The objective of the Position Studio is to design an expansion for SCI_Arc that adds 50% more floor space to the existing structure, equating to approximately 4,200 square meters (or 45,000 square feet). This extension should be situated within a designated area surrounding the current building.
