Kyle ONAGA: The figure in architecture is neglected and feared. This thesis embraces the figure.
The exploration seeks an alternative starting point for architecture that does not originate from abstracted forms.
Using a literal figure as massing, the head is taken as the architectural primitive.
The figure in its nature, has apriori associations. In its reading, the figure creates an engagement.

The King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD) Metro Station will serve as a key interchange on the new Riyadh Metro network for Line 1, as well as the terminus of Line 4 (for passengers to the airport) and Line 6. The local monorail can also be accessed from the station via a skybridge. With six platforms over four public floors and two levels of underground car parking, the KAFD Metro Station will be integrated within the urban context of the financial district, responding to the functional requirements of a multimodal transport centre and the district’s future vision.

Moritz KEITEL: The project einfamilienhaussiedlung questions how the individual rooms a house consists of, relate to each other and to the collective system of a colony. The distinct shapes of the houses are not predetermined fixed space-envelopes. But the result of an associative model of relationships existing between the rooms within each of the houses as well as between the different houses themselves. Although creating a group-form, the houses as such remain single and distinct entities.

Synthesis Design + Architecture (SDA): Tensioned Relaxations is series of temporary and rapidly deployable outdoor structures that aspire to reinvent the typical street fair tent through their combination of dynamic form, variable configurations, and optical effects. Each structure is highlighted by a uniquely sensual and continuous form composed of a tensioned HDPE Mesh skin with bespoke artwork by the talented roster of urban artists at SA Studios / SA-UP Collective and a perimeter ring made of fibreglass rod.

Oyler Wu Collaborative: Designed and built by the office of Oyler Wu Collaborative along with students of the Southern California Institute of Architecture, Stormcloud is the third project in a series of installations designed for SCI-ARC. The previous two installations, Netscape and Centerstage were designed for the school’s graduation ceremonies in 2011 and 2012 respectively. With SCI-Arc celebrating its 40th anniversary, the school commissioned the new pavilion for the after-party of its April 2013 gala. Tasked with the challenge of revamping the existing Netscape pavilion, Oyler Wu Collaborative saw the project as an opportunity to take a completely different approach to the problem.
