Spatial Reveries, Alexander Wenstrup
Spatial Reveries, Alexander Wenstrup
Masters Theses
We live in a hazy existence marked by rapid pace, development, digital consumption, and a deteriorating environment. Spatial Reveries hopes to counter the current trajectory and offer an alternative perspective by presenting one with moments of awe, discovery, and wonder to improve the disconnect between society and their surroundings. The work refers to a history of anamorphic art, cubism, deception, and optical phenomena in Western society. It operates on the urges and instincts of the artist, utilizing massing, light, transparency, horizons, and vastness, to challenge perceptions of space, time, and memory. Through the play of perspective and projection the work …
Collage, Perspective, And Space: The Consequences Of The Method Of Mies Van Der Rohe, Daniel Barker
Collage, Perspective, And Space: The Consequences Of The Method Of Mies Van Der Rohe, Daniel Barker
Architecture Undergraduate Honors Theses
The method in which architects design space has the capacity to shape the manifestation of the built work. Architect Mies van der Rohe is one of the most noteworthy designers to exhibit this in his method of design: collage. This inquiry investigates the connection between the collages and the architecture of Mies van der Rohe, and how his use of collage defined the language of the architecture he created.
The investigation studied the collages and architecture of Mies van der Rohe through a design process investigation. Collages were made in the same language as Mies and used as a …
The Eight Grids: A New Method To Enhance Students’ Sketching Skills In The Schools Of Architecture, Mohamad Tohme
The Eight Grids: A New Method To Enhance Students’ Sketching Skills In The Schools Of Architecture, Mohamad Tohme
Architecture and Planning Journal (APJ)
Sketching is one of the required courses for architecture and design students in higher education since it is considered a necessary skill for architects and designers. However, the lack of visualization skills and practice, students were met with difficulties in grasping the complex concepts of this course, concurrent with the teachers’ lack of familiarity with the various methods. The aim of this paper is to find a new method that allows students to carry out their sketches by examining the problems faced by first-year undergraduate students at the Faculty of Architecture, Design & Built Environment in BAU, Lebanon. To achieve …
The Denuded Image: A Critique Of The After-Image, Danya Li
The Denuded Image: A Critique Of The After-Image, Danya Li
Architecture Senior Theses
The Denuded Image aims to create a conversation between a photograph and its viewer by adding back the third dimension. It is not a proposal of how architects should design space, but a model for observation and study of how to create new ways of seeing. The dioramas at 1:8, 1:4, and 1:2 scales expose the reality of the forced perspective and the denuded photograph's distorted characters. As scale increases, the observer is invited to engage with the in-visible parts of the image that differ in materiality. The final spectacle includes all models and their respective images, to expose the …
Constructed Reality: A Study In Spatial Perception Through Virtual Reality, Jose P. Rodriguez
Constructed Reality: A Study In Spatial Perception Through Virtual Reality, Jose P. Rodriguez
Bachelor of Architecture Theses - 5th Year
Architecture often begins explorations that lead into various modes of end products. These modes of production and representation could often embed traces that shape the outcome of the design. In his book, “Architectural Representation and The Perspective Hinge.”, Alberto Perez Gomez says that “Architects do not produce Buildings but instead produce images of buildings.” These representational images are an expression of an idea or design. Historically, representation began in static two-dimensions. By bridging into digital environments, these representations become more dynamic. As computing power increases and software broadens, the use of virtual reality environments and immersion simulations are becoming more …

Half House-S: Axonometric Panorama, Fei Wang
Architecture Thesis Prep
Axonometric Panorama is a patio-organizational image, a hybrid of multi-dimensional views. Distinction and interdependency within and between form, program, and space will be elaborated by my practice.
Anyone Can Architect, Christine Wright
Anyone Can Architect, Christine Wright
Honors Projects
Because people often assume that one has to know architecture in order to study it, this interactive text makes it more approachable. Anyone Can Architect is an interactive sketch book introducing the basics of architecture to anyone from middle- and high-school students who are starting to explore different fields of study to those already studying and practicing architecture who might want to have fun with some of the basic principles. Not only does this text provide useful definitions of terms alongside some well-known examples, but it takes readers a step further by asking them to complete some specific tasks that …
Efficacy Of Perspective: The Production Of Transitoriness In 21st Century Public Space, Kenny Kim
Efficacy Of Perspective: The Production Of Transitoriness In 21st Century Public Space, Kenny Kim
Architecture Senior Theses
This thesis considers the specific relationship between representation of cities and its capacity to promote and construct cities. In the last century, there has been a shift of theorizing in the position of the human eye to organize the new systems of the contemporary city. It has moved away from using these tools to imagine and polemically argue for or against the city.
Perspective: Of Time And Eternity, James G. Lawson
Perspective: Of Time And Eternity, James G. Lawson
Journal of Humanistic Mathematics
This paper considers geometric perspective in relation to devotional requirements in Italian religious painting from about 1250 to about 1450. The content of the altarpiece consisted in antithetical elements---the graphic exposition of Christian dogmatics, and a dramatis personae increasingly to be identified in empathetic terms. The one-point perspective system that was invented towards the end of that period, then, presented an opportunity and a difficulty. It enabled the creation of a naturalistic space, aiding empathetic identification with psychologically plausible individuals in the pictured world. On the other hand, whilst superficially the space marked out by the geometry of the vanishing …

An Architecture Of Dimensions: 2d, 3d, 4d, Etc., Tiffany Montanez
Architecture Thesis Prep
A funhouse, a building equipped with trick mirrors, shifting floors, and other devices designed to scare or amuse people as they walk through is the program of choice. Funhouses are designed for the perception of the user. They provide an amusing architecture, as well as an architecture driven by position, form, and most importantly, experience.
Perception, Megan Rand
Perception, Megan Rand
Architecture Thesis Prep
In today’s age of technology, online media allows wider access
to architectural photos and information. Through images provided
by architectural firms, magazines, amateur photographers, official
websites, and social media, one can experience a building to
an extent, without ever visiting that physical place. This greatly
impacts the discipline of architecture, as the general public is
able to view, interpret, and criticize works without the consent
or the input of the architect. Before the rise of social media,
architects had great control over what information and images
were released for a project, controlling the perception of the
general public.
Experiential, Anticipatory, Unreal: This Fairy-Tale Does Not Have A Happy Ending., Laya Pattana
Experiential, Anticipatory, Unreal: This Fairy-Tale Does Not Have A Happy Ending., Laya Pattana
Architecture Senior Theses
"The methodology will be tested in the cinema type because of its promise of escapist hyperreality. It is spatial, highly personal and privatized, and firmly anti-architecture. Because the film is self-contained, its space is irrelevant. The representation of experience can be reclaimed as a design strategy to activate the movie theatre typology--a typology that architecture has long since lost."
