The student developed a number of intersections conceived as isolated vignettes. The notion of intersection as a threshold offered the theme of doorways. The students studied the multiple arrangements of these and the multiple totalities these would conceive in differing combinations.

House at a Disjunction. The student, Andrew Pearson, began with an image of a disjunction: a field of rectilinear pavers arranged in a grid disrupted by the sudden outcropping of a root. This constituted an intersection of geometries and orders; one abstract Cartesian the other organic and radial. The student studied this apparent disjunction to devise a strategy for reconciliation.

The student developed a program for an architecture of excavation by unearthing the paradox that the act of excavation, the intersection of man with earth, inevitably implies that one not only "construct" downward but, as a consequence, upward, since the displaced material becomes assembled and amassed above the original datum. While integrating both aspects of this equation into the construction, the student developed a structure that "bridged" and inhabited this intersection.

Andrew Reyniak
Common House. The student chose as his site an area situated along a ridge on Long Island formed as glacial moraine deposit. The house was conceived as a communal house with a walled court used form common use.
Nancy M. Sanders
The student, inspired by the iconographic analysis of a small oil painting done by her five-year-old next-door neighbor, chose suburbia as her site and developed a series of site-specific housing prototypes which promoted a re-inhabitation of the sub-urban grid as a physical construct.

The House of Six Windows. The six sides of a cube become programmatically defined as windows giving on to primary realms of experience of dwelling.
