December 10 @ 4 PM CT – Gallery Talk – MillerKnoll Chair Competition Retrospective
Arch 100 students enter the chair competition as their third design project of the semester to design and construct a model chair. A MillerKnoll team member visits the class to provide insight and tips on chair design. The class begins designing model prototypes and creating marketing plans for their chairs. The students learn how to apply math, geometry, and ergonomics to their designs. They also learn about materials and construction methods and how those choices impact the cost of the chair. The winner is invited to MillerKnoll to build his/her prototype full scale with the help of their Research & Development Team. To further the diverse design talent funnel and promote innovative product design, MillerKnoll Cares provides scholarships for the top three designers, encouraging their continued interest in and love for the design field.

FINAL REVIEWS:

ARCH 810 with Nikole Bouchard – December 6, 2021 @ 1:30-5:30 PMZoom Link + Miro
Architectural Design I focuses on the role play can have in architectural ideation, development, design, and production. Throughout the semester we explored a variety of methods used by designers who have embraced the spirit of whimsy and know how to play seriously! As Ray and Charles Eames once said: “Take your pleasure seriously!”
guests: Thena Tak, Ife Vanable, Karl Wallick, Joyce Hwang, Fiona Lim Tung, Yasmin Vobis, Lori Brown, Martin Hougue, Maya Przybylski, Trattie Davies, Aleksander Mergodl, Whitney Moon

Jasmine Benyamin, Anna Andrzejewski, W. Warner Wood, Yong Chen

ARCH 310 – December 8, 2021 @ 1:30-5 PM
The course, developed as a sequence of interrelated projects, allows for the development, experimentation, and intimate understanding of the translation of two-dimensional properties into three-dimensional spatial conditions: from shape to form, drawing to model, from representation to material, diagram to program, analysis to context. The final portion of the semester was spent designing a curiosity cabinet/pavilion for a chosen site.

Vulnerability Studio with Trudy Watt – December 10, 2021 @ 1:30-4 PM, Grohmann Museum Auditorium + Miro
This elective design studio explores the way that architecture can support the well-being of stigmatized people, whose health has been undermined by marginalizing or indifferent designed environments and systems. We leverage self-reflection, applied compassion, design thinking, community engagement, collaboration, and inclusive design principles to propose thriving futures with vulnerable communities.

Honey Creek Eco-District with Jim Wasley – December 10, 2021 @ 1:30-5:30 PM, 4th floor alcove
This urban design studio focusing on green/ blue infrastructure and brownfield redevelopment will propose a new mixed-use Eco-District on the Milwaukee Mile Speedway, adjacent to State Fair Park. This 50-acre site sits on top of a culvert containing Honey Creek, a tributary to the Menomonee River. Our goal has been to daylight Honey Creek, creating an ecologically rich regional flood storage basin as the organizing concept of a mixed use, net-zero energy urban redevelopment project.
