Re - Laskerite “This is the extension of an investigation into an architectural idea called the Re-Laskerite-tism. A few of its principles are… that neo-utilitarian ideology produced a
benevolent world where problems get solved. There are groups of people who believe that fails to acknowledge the fact that everyone needs participation in small, exaggerated, hysterical clubs,
which I call the bohemian demimondes. We formed such a club.” - Jeffery Kipnis
Re - Laskerite An exploration of plan and figure. The figure in the plan affects the way the plan operates. The figure reinvents circulation, program, and adjacencies.
It creates an inverted hierarchy, reshaping the relationship between the figure and the ground.
House “We’re trying to not be critical. For example houses you can’t get into or libraries without any books – anything that was critical of the institution or the value structure – I was unsympathetic with.
The idea is that all the benefits of neo-utilitarian philosophy come to fruition precisely when small numbers of possibly frivolous values start to get shared among hysterically interested people, and that’s how
you complete the Project. We were trying to avoid the critical project, and to pick up on Bob’s [Somol] projective project.” - Jeffery Kipnis

Housing Live/Work. This project proposes the a live/work community. Were residence participate in a larger collective through an open common space and have a private commercial
access that connects them to the city. This project expands on the idea of vertical living. Residence live on four different levels that vary in program and privacy.
Utility: kitchen, bathroom, wet wall

Circulation: stairs, corridor

Day Spaces: living room, dinning, office

Night Spaces: bedrooms, guest rooms

Aggregation The units are aggregated vertically. All the units contain a commercial work space on the ground level and private spaces above.

Continuous This project investigates the potential of the continuous sections. One continuous line bends, twists, and warps to create a single contained volume. The line becomes
the interface between the interior and exterior spaces by blurring their boundaries as it mixes the two. Program grows off the line and activates its surface with activities.
