Cleveland State University’s new College of Education and Human Services building toes a fine line of contemporary formalism and unrefinement that allows it to achieve a boldness its counterpart, the new student center by Gwathmy Siegel, can’t fathom. Where the new student center is detailed clumsily with awkward adjacencies and misalignments, Julka Hall is sharp and restrained; making up for what it lacks in formal clarity with quality of space and natural light.

Transit Canopy Conceptual Design Rust Belt (2012)
jeremy smith design
This conceptual design strategy for a mass transit canopy creates a statement both iconographic and utilitarian; addressing the scale of city (context (a) and pedestrian (user) in a simple, provactive manner. Here, the flat canopy acts as a datum which supports sustainability above and a unique, pedestrian environment (b) below.

operational lessons from running (2012)
jeremy smith design
For architectural practice to excel it must shed both stubbornness and ego to embrace the improvisational requirements of process to be collaborative, flexible and intelligent. Lessons regarding operational or organizational tactics are not limited to fields of design and construction, ques exist in our everyday lives that only require a moment of pause to offer valuable guidance worth consideration.

Minoru Yamasaki designed Bibbins Hall and counterparts Warner Concert, Central Unit and Robertson Hall in the early 1960’s, with a Neo-Gothic hand that would influence his work on the World Trade Center in New York City less than a decade later. The building’s skin is characterized by a repetitious structural, precast concrete panel relief with diamond shaped windows, allowing it to be part Mason Domino and another part sculptural artifact.

deception Anywhere, Great Lakes Region (2011)
Jeremy Smith Design
entry text from the Zombie Safehouse Competition
Sited in a typical Great Lakes vineyard, deception places sustaining life ahead of destroying it amidst a zombie epidemic. The safehouse is an artfully simple mirrored box, that reflects its surroundings while using sustainable practices to power, supply water and grow food. When not under attack, a section of wall panels rotates open to access the vineyard (or farmland if sited differently)and act as a beacon for other survivors looking for refuge.
new balance Cleveland, OH (2011)
Jeremy Smith Design
entry text from the Cleveland Design Competition
new balance proposes an integrated educational model that embraces global learning while supporting local collaborations to extend the classroom beyond the student body. The school is treated as a campus; separated into faculties or departments, eliminating the hierarchical segregation of the traditional model and allowing rooms to gain a level of specificity that utilizes shared equipment, laboratories, and storage. The “mixing” of grades supports a greater energy in the corridors and common areas that allows unique additional programmatic elements to be successful. As a globally oriented school, a large assembly / projection area supports web chats with enough space for the entire student body, while its glass volume engages the pedestrian on the street and extends the boundary of the educational experience. The adjacent art gallery gives students the ability to exhibit work regularly, and the cantilevered agricultural green provides hands-on learning; lifted off the ground for security, the canopy and orientation further integrate the school into its environment. The purpose of new balance is to go beyond technology without focus, and integrate a program that excites and inspires students to learn. New educational models, like the Cleveland International School, are emerging at an imperative pace, leaving the question: Can architecture make a difference in pushing the frontiers of education?
new balance is ready to prove it can.
