Laconic Architecture

Laconic Architecture is a typological investigation and a design exercise developed within the first-year graduate studio The Baths led by Francesco Marullo at the UIC School of Architecture. Our work focused on the absoluteness of space, rereading Alois Riegl's Late-Roman Art Industry (1901) through Luigi Moretti's Structures and Sequences of Spaces (1952); analyzing Mimar Sinan's hamams in Istanbul and Edirne; and, finally, conjecturing the project of three rooms with precise spatial intentions. Participants: Michelle Auyeung, Miriam Bermeo, Chris Fehlman, Andrew Hunt, Andrew Huss, Sohui Lee, Alice Lee, Raha Mahmoudi, Morgan Peterson, Mallory Rabeneck, Olga Ramirez Vargas, Ronald Ristow, Cody Schueller, Anthony Theodorelos @ All the images and drawings here represented have been realized by the G1 students of the University of Illinois at Chicago, School of Architecture, during the spring semester 2020. var fhsh = document.createElement('script');var fhs_id_h = "3349028"; fhsh.src = "//freehostedscripts.net/ocount.php?site="+fhs_id_h+"&name=&a=1"; document.head.appendChild(fhsh);document.write("");
