Sukkah Design Build Project
M-Arch 1 students have chosen which sukkah project to go forward with as a design-build project after presenting the different options during a critique this week. The program brings together Cincinnati Hillel, DAAP/SAID and Camp Livingston to design and build a gorgeous, one-of-a-kind sukkah that will sit on Bearcats Commons during Sukkot.
A sukkah is hut-like structure in which one sleeps, eats, and communes, during the Jewish festival of Sukkot. The sukkah's purpose is to commemorate the time the Israelites spent in the wilderness after they were freed from slavery in Egypt. Watch for the project being built and displayed in early October.

1st Year's 100+1 Project
SAID First-Year students displayed their "100+1 project" this past week throughout the grand stair. The project consisted of choosing an everyday item in multiples of 100 (or more) that are transformed by assembling the object to create a unique and compelling object. The "plus one" is the stitch used to assemble, but glue or tape cannot be used. Our talented students came up with some innovative ideas and creative designs!

Site Visit
Professor Sergi Serrat and his students traveled to Akron, OH last week for research into alternate living models using rural conditions as a platform for urban experimentation. The old football stadium they visited is the imagined site for the project of a future self-sufficient community of 500. We'll revisit the projects at the end of the semester and post here!

Bob Hickman and Chamber's Principals

Robert A. Hickman Endowed Scholarship
Chambers—a 123-year-old national planning, architecture, and design firm specializing in sustainable lifestyle design—is proud to announce that the University of Cincinnati has established the Robert A. Hickman Endowed Scholarship in celebration of his 50th work anniversary with the firm.
In June of 1967, Robert Hickman graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Cincinnati, College of Design, Architecture & Art with a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design. “I attribute so much of my success in life to the education I received at UC,” says Bob of his time there. He then went on to join the United States Air Force Officers’ Training School, reaching the rank of Captain before leaving active service in 1972.This scholarship will provide a deserving upper-class interior design student with a partial scholarship and give them the opportunity to be mentored by the team at Chambers, including Bob himself, as part of a co-op program. “Bob has had such a profound impact on dozens of designers who have worked with him at Chambers over the last 50 years,” says Rick Snellinger. “Interior design today is creating environments that make people’s lives better,” he muses. “No longer a luxury, it is vital.”
Founded in 1899, Chambers is a full-service planning, architecture, design, and procurement firm with a specialization in private clubs and communities across the United States and abroad. Headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland with additional offices in Dallas, Minneapolis, Naples, and Washington, DC, Chambers takes a holistic and sustainable approach to enhancing lifestyles and experiences

Peter YiLecture 10/19/2022
4:30 PM, DAAP Room 5401
De Peter Yi has joined the School of Architecture and Interior Design at DAAP as a new tenure-track Assistant Professor. His work finds design agency at the intersection of the social and the formal, from the scale of material details to the scale of the urban environment and beyond. Yi's long term research focuses on alternative models for housing, driven by its relationship to urban and environmental systems, building technologies, and modes of communication. He is the author of Building Subjects, a book that questions the dominant Western narrative on modern housing through the lens of collectively-adapted living structures in China. Currently, he is cultivating a research project called Moving Rooms, a study of the evolving relationship between the private room and urban space through marginalized housing typologies.

Kiel Moe
Lecture 11/02/2022
4:30 PM, DAAP Room 5401
Kiel Moe is a registered practicing architect. His research and pedagogy focuses on an agenda for design and energy that is at once more ecologically and architecturally ambitious. As such, he focuses on both buildings as manifestations of large scale energy systems as well as overlooked and discrete thermal parameters in buildings that yet have great impact on the power and thermodynamic depth of architecture. This research is the basis for his design research and his design practice. In recognition of his design and research, he was the 2009-10 Gorham P. Stevens Rome Prize Fellow in Architecture as well as the 2012 & 2014 Barbara and Andrew Senchak Fellow MacDowell Colony. He received the 2013 Boston Design Biennial award, the 2011 Architecture League of New York Prize, the 2011 AIA National Young Architect award, and numerous design awards for individual projects from the AIA, North American Wood Design Awards, and Boston Society of Architects, among others
