By Emily Mohr Originally exhibited at The Ohio State University’s Banvard Gallery, “Drawing Drawings” was the performance of a series of nine ‘as-built drawings’ exhibited as they were drawn in the Banvard Gallery. Neither digitally fabricated nor hand-crafted, the exhibition employed a series of custom-built CNC drawing robots to draw nine drawings framed perspectivally and literally by nine frames. Composed of recompositions of site-specific ornament, the framed drawings were suspended from three structural members mismatched from the gallery’s three existing structural channels to produce a series of collaged views of the collaged frames.

By Melissa Shin This exhibition, originally exhibited at the Wedge Gallery of Woodbury University, explores resolution and hybridization for a series of four transformed historic homes in Detroit, Michigan. Since we are not able to show the built models in person, they have been LiDAR scanned for online viewing. The original digital model used to construct the physical model lies beneath a low-resolution LiDAR scan of the built physical model – the loss through digital translation produces a new reading of the model’s scale and details wherein walls and columns begin to dissolve.

By Farnoosh Rafaie Formed within the 17th Safavid era in Persia and re-formed through the sublime works of Monir Farmanfarmaian, Ayeneh Kari inscribes pure, hyper tessellated geometry through the interplay of light and reflection. Absurdly disparate in its formation, these mirror mosaics exhibit the dynamic overcoating of figure within figure through identifiable consciousness. This exhibition chooses to display just a few sourced contemplations on figures built from two dimensional cosmic geometry to “three dimensional” digital sculpture noting how these dazzlingly figures can be absorbed through the familial presence of one’s own image.

By Juan Salazar The work addresses themes of historic reconstruction in a sensitive urban and political context. At a time when the consciousness and meaning of the past in the urban context is shifting— finding new life in the old formulas of preservation, and understanding reconstruction as an inventive act. This work was originally presented at the 2018 exhibition

By Victor Regnier, FAIA In the next 30-50 years the demographic profile of the US and the World will change radically as life expectancy grows and fertility contracts pushing the average age higher. Beyond the economic impacts this has on productivity and economic growth, it also has a major impact on humanity. While countries in northern Europe have developed community-based alternatives to combine independent housing and services, the US has continued to promote institutional models. This exhibit explores through various design approaches three housing and service hybrid models that provide support to the mentally and physically frail in an independent non-institutional fashion. This exhibit displays work from Professor Victor Regnier's latest book on more humane alternatives to institutionalizing mentally and physically frail older people.
