Item Architecture experienced through an Artefact(2011) Acevedo, LuisRecognizing that the Western Tradition of Architecture has been perpetuated through the passing on of stories through the creation of primarily symbolic artefacts, this studio emphasizes students’ ability to imagine, work, and communicate through creations, which generate poetic dialogue and architectural thinking beyond the direct transcription of isolated objectives and visual representations alone. Working obliquely through the entwined creation of artefact and narrative, students’ are challenged to draw upon the plasticity of lived knowledge not accessible through objective information but which nonetheless makes our experience of architecture alluring and resonant. Each student, responsible for developing their own architectural program, were asked to use these creations to reveal particular qualities, stories, events, and circumstances that metaphorically evoke essential qualities for the coming architecture. The overarching goal of the studio is the creation of empathetic connections between varying people, places, and cultures, brought to life through the experience of the artefact—an installation, performance, or assemblage—which like literature or film, provide things through which we may imagine.Item Architecture experienced through an Artefact(2012) Acevedo, LuisRecognizing that the Western Tradition of Architecture has been perpetuated through the passing on of stories through the creation of primarily symbolic artefacts, this studio emphasizes students’ ability to imagine, work, and communicate through creations, which generate poetic dialogue and architectural thinking beyond the direct transcription of isolated objectives and visual representations alone.

This thesis is an exploration of the potential for architecture to promote the overall wellness of the occupants in a learning environment. The harmony between the three main aspects of wellness (mind, body and soul) will be achieved through conscientious design of learning spaces and the ability of the built environment to foster learning and education for the twenty-first century. The current wave of innovative school design and curriculum is moving away from education reform to a learning revolution. This challenge of the conventional school system is setting precedence for the future of school design. Likewise, the design principles of the built structure will also move away from the conventional modalities of construction and material, and it will look towards a the future of new building practices. This process will be facilitated by a revolutionary structure that allows for new models of teaching styles parried with new technologies for learning in the current technological era of the twenty-first century.
