Ahmedabad Hotel Landscape
For Doubletree HiltonLaura Robin + Shaique UddinNovember 2013-April 2014Studio Symbiosis
Ahmedabad Hotel is located in the historically and culturally rich city of Ahmedabad, India. The program requires a full service five star hotel with 200 rooms, flowing out in a seamless curve in the section of the building emphasizing rippled inte-gration with the landscape. Seamless waves flowing on the facade inform the ar-ticulation of the buildings dramatic interior spaces and landscape. The landscape features a streamlined trajectory with a pixeled gradient of green that emerges at the periphery of the building, further articulating the rippled concept of the building.

Motion +The Body as a Transient InterfaceAn Architecture of Place and Motion Explored Through Physical Rehabilitation
Masters DissertationLaura RobinAugust 2012-May 2013Tulane University
THESIS ABSTRACTThe human body is the interface of exchange between the body’s internal mecha-nisms, including the soul, memory, and intellect, and well as its orientation and interaction with the external environment. By understanding the body as a flex-ible boundary that is in a constant perceptual flux according to its relationship to external, three dimensional boundaries in our environment, we can under-stand and manipulate the way we perceive objects and the space that envelopes us. The objective of this thesis is to create three dimensional space in which the participant becomes aware of his/her transient body image through motion.

MotionBLUR Aquatic Center
Under Professor Ammar EloueiniWanhao Cui + Laura RobinFall 2012Tulane University
MotionBLUR Aquatic center explores the concept of blurred perception through move-ment. The building’s layered composition of materials and fluid geometry locates the viewer in a perpetual state of flux. Private and public spaces are juxtaposed to create unexpected relationships and evocative multi-perspectival views, while a continuous promenade connects all major program elements throughout the building.

Pneuspaces/Pneuforms
Under Ronald Rael of Rael San Fratello ArchitectsAlia Soomro, Kyle Ryan, Drew Hauck, Will Nemitoff, Thomas Ferrer, Logan Legett, Nicole Esser, Shira Latch, Meredith Zelenka, Robert Mosby, Laura Robin, Kayleigh Bruentrup, John CoyleFebruary 2013Pneumatic Architecture Workshop
Pneuspaces/Pneuforms is an exploration of inflatable structures, which have often been associated with mobility, movement, freedom, and escape, originating in the late 1960’s in France. In 1968, architects of the group Utopie organized an exhibition entitled Structures Gonflables at the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, which exhibited an array of inflatable products including: furniture, sculpture, and environments. Utopie dreamt of a society built on air and created numerous visions of inflatable structures.
As part of a workshop directed by Ronald Rael of Rael San Fratello Architects, par-ticipants explored pneumatic structures that combined new methods of 3D mod-eling using Modo (from Luxology) to create engaging social spaces on the Academic Quad at Tulane University. The participants created two building-sized pavilions, il-luminated by dynamic lighting, which engaged the campus community after sunset.

Elevated LANDSCAPES
Under Robert Mangurian + Mary-Ann RayLaura Robin, Allison Rodberg, + Brian SulleySummer 2011B.A.S.E Caochangdi
Elevated Landscapes: Caochangdi/Grassland Village is a publication produced by three students under the direction of Robert Mangurian and Mary-Ann Ray which includes a body of research documenting the roof scape of Caochangdi, an urban village near the 5th Ring Road in Beijing. The publication reveals a unique aspect of urban village life witnessed only by the few with rooftop access, and improves upon the existing rooftop infrastructure of urban farming and agriculture to create environmentally responsible solutions for dense urban areas. In addition to proposing urban agricultural solutions, Elevated Landscapes proposes various spatial solutions to facilitate a greater social connectivity between the roofs and the bustling streetscape.

The New School of Ballet
Under Professor Kentaro TsubakiLaura RobinFall 2009Tulane University
The form and organization of the New School of Ballet is inspired by an analysis of counterbalance and spatiality of movement in found in various executions in classi-cal ballet. The building is organized around a central void that extends from Level 01 to Level 10, providing a heightened compression and release of space at major programmatic transitions throughout the building. Each space has forced perspec-tive views through the central void at which they surround. The materiality of the building is composed of various layers of perforated metal and glazing, creating an ephermeral gradient according to one’s vantage point. Functioning as a lantern in the center of the project, light permeates all spaces from the heart of the building as material porosity becomes more concentrated as one approaches the perimeter.

Louisiana Civil Rights Museum
Under Professor Michael NiusLaura RobinSpring 2010Tulane University
The building mass of the Louisiana Civil Rights Museum is composed of interlocking interior and exterior volumes. Program components overlap and interconnect around a courtyard that opens to the community garden. On the ground floor the porosity of the mass allows multiple passages and views, inviting neighborhood circulation. The gallery space has a layered façade that screens the sun and perception from the exterior, pro-vides transparent circulation that allows a view of the city, and proceeds to walled and darkened spaces for specific exhibits. Outdoor spaces are stitched along the path of the exhibition, providing spaces for gathering and contemplation on each level of the building.

Lumière Épaulé
Under Professor David MerlinLaura RobinSpring 2012Tulane University
The spirit and form of Lumière Épaulé is inspired by the eight positions of the body in the Cecchetti Method. The series of movements are the foundation of line, composi-tion, poise, and balance in every execution of Classical Ballet. The generative process conceived to design the lamp’s form captures the essence of eighth position in the series, Derrière l’épaulé, which expresses its beauty through a torqued counterbal-ance around the body’s core. Épaulé’s performative function enables a variation in light quality and articulation when turned, resembling the subjective interpretation of the movement’s asymmetrical body line from various vantage points in the audience.

LandSCRAPER Charette
Under Professor Tiffany LinLaura RobinFall 2010Tulane University
The form of the landscaper retail space responds to the various speeds of move-ment surrounding the site. The branding and live projections located in the inte-rior of the space reveal themselves to the viewer as one experiences the space from different vantage points while in motion. As one descends from the promenade on the upper level, the materiality of the building becomes more porous to reveal the entry into the retail space. Once inside, all is revealed and the activity occur-ring on the streetscape is presented to the viewer from an additional vantage point.

Sukkah 4.0
2012 Competition WinnerMiles Kozatch, Kevin Michniok, William Nemitoff, Laura RobinSeptember 2012Tulane University
For seven days each year, following Yom Kippur, Jews are commanded to dwell in temporary huts during the festival of Sukkot. During the seven day festival, the congre-gation gathers in the spaces to eat, sleep, and pray together. Although the structures appear to be simple, strict guidelines must be followed in order for it to be considered “valid”. The structure must be made of two distinct components-- walls and a roof, ad-hering to strict rules about the method of construction, materiality, size, and porosity.
With a short timeline of four days, the structure was designed and con-structed using notched birch plywood panels that created a dynam-ic tessellated enclosure. Palm fronds were assembled to create a pat-tern for the roof, which allowed for views of the night sky in the evening.

Wangjing Soho
Under Director Satoshi OhashiBianca Cheung, Ho-Ping Hsia, Laura RobinJuly 2011-January 2012Tulane University
Wangjing Soho, situated in a northeast residential area of Beijing, is an urban retreat midway between the city center and the airport. The form is comprised of three major office towers connected by a retail podium that forms a “pedestrian street” at the ground level and lower level.
Laura worked on various packages (retail interior design, signage, and facade devel-opment) with a team of designers in the design development phase of the project. Construction of Wangjing Soho is expected to be completed in 2014. *Renderings by Fronttop Digital Technology Co.
