Tonal Motion Experimental Theater
Upper Level Studio IV
CUNY - Spring 2009
site: 125th Street, Harlem, New York City
ACH 48100 is the second semester of the 4th year design studio sequence. The objective of this semester is for students to
understand how to design a complex public building.
The project for this semester is a 43,000 square foot experimental theater for two clients: Michael Schumacher (sound artist); and Liz
Gerring (choreographer) who together have formed a not-for-profit organization combining music and dance called Tonal Motion.
Michael has supplied copies of CD’s of his experimental sound pieces for the studio to review. The studio will be going as a group to
see a performance by Liz Gerring Dance, which will be accompanied by one of Michael’s sound pieces.

Line
Advanced Studio V
Columbia GSAPP - Fall 2004
site: Berlin
The focus of the semester’s investigations is the idea of the line as a basic geometric concept. According to Euclid, ‘a line is a length without
breadth’. In the oeuvre of Marcel Duchamp, a line is ‘infrathin’: a slice of a higher dimensional entity which can be projected from it.
The site for the semester’s investigations is Berlin, which until recent times was divided by a line. The studio travelled to Berlin where we
investigated three sites located along the ‘line’ of the former Berlin Wall, separating East and West Berlin.
Students were tasked to design a public building, and to undertake that design within the context of an analysis of the urban fabric within, and
surrounding their chosen site. Each site has been selected as an area that has been chosen for urban renewal by the central Berlin planning
authority.
The studio was met by one of the urban planners from the Berlin planning authority, Professor Matthias Neumann, who agreed to accompany
the studio to the three sites during our Berlin trip, and to offer background materials for each site, for the studio’s use. Professor Neumann,
who also teaches at the University in Berlin, has agreed to come to New York, to Columbia, for our mid-jury to review the projects.
Professor Neumann also made a lecture/ presentation on the recent history of urban design in Berlin, as well as a brief discussion of the Berlin
Wall, and the Berlin public’s sense of the former landmark which had divided the country.
Program:
Students are to choose a program of either: public library; museum; or Kunsthalle. Buildings are to be between 30,000 – 100,000 square feet
in area, with an emphasis on unique structural or mechanical design. Professor Neumann specializes in green design solutions, and special
attention to the mechanical systems functioning will be the focus of his review of your projects.

Time / Passage Way
Advanced Studio V
Columbia GSAPP - Fall 2003
Site: area near Brooklyn Academy of Music
The focus of the semester is Time as it relates to architecture. The studio studied structures which allow time to be captured within the
architectural project. Time can be marked through sequence, or through serial repetition. Sequences or serial repetitions can be stretched,
shortened, or overlaid to read as rapid or slow time passages.
The studio searched within related disciplines to find time relationships. The studio was asked to review modern mathematical models and
equations which, projected into form, yield figures that exceed three dimensions. Assuming the fourth dimension represents time, students
were encouraged to find formal and physical methods of interpreting these through architectural structures and materials.
Students will start the semester by reviewing hypercubes, hyperspheres, and complex torus configurations. As humans, we are only able to
‘see’ three-dimensional spaces, so our investigations will take the form of ‘slices and shadows’ of the more complex figures under review,
allowing us to develop secondary figures, in three dimensions. The studio will incorporate complex four-dimensional relationships within
students’ final projects through the invention of an architectural language for time registration, in order to register the fourth dimension.
The studio was taught in collaboration with Professor Benji Fisher from the Columbia University Mathematics Department. Prof. Fisher gave
invaluable assistance to the studio, teaching a brief seiminar on fourth dimensional mathematics at the beginning of the term. Prof. Fisher
also sat in on juries, where his commentary assisted students and outside critics with clarifications regarding detail and conceptual issues
related to klein bottles, hyper-spheres, and hyper-cubes.
The site for the investigation was the area around BAM in Brooklyn, New York. Readings included Edwin A. Abbott’s book Flatland. The
studio went as a group to see a contemporary interpretation of Alice in Wonderland by Robert Wilson, at BAM, as a way of starting the
investigation.

The site for this semester’s investigation is New Paltz, NY, adjacent to Mohonk Mountain House Lodge. The Mountain House is owned by a
family who has purchased as a protected preserve over 10k acres of land around the Inn. The Mountain House is built from stone quarried on
the site, and overlooks a glacial lake.
