Spring 2022 Studio Midterm
Baltimore Center for the Spoken Word
Project 1: BALTIMORE CENTER FOR THE SPOKEN WORD
Project Objective:
The theme for this project is the investigation of the relationship between the city, the institution, and the values of our society as represented by those institutions.
Within the building itself, we explored the relationship between movement and places of assembly, including the architectural promenades, sequences of spaces, public/private, and hierarchies of circulation. We focused on accessibility, emergency egress, integration of building structure, and program organization.

Dwelling In The City
Project 2: DWELLING IN THE CITY
Project Objective:
Within this project, we explored archetypal themes such as the Bachelardian vertical house, the primitive hut; ideas of center and edge, of boundary and enclosure against the unknown; order and orientation; geometry and the cardinal points; and the idealized form of the city house, from ancient Greece and Rome (and from other traditions). the objective of this project was to develop an apartment building within Baltimore city that contains varying apartment types, a cafe, and other amenity spaces.
