Penn Relay Carnival structure Arch Design 3 and Graduate Design 3 Studios: Irreversible Limits and Process, Spring 2008 Dunn, Brad Lau, Olivia Student projects Campuses Athletic fields Sports buildings Carnivals This studios' focus was two fold: it required the contemplation of the notion of recreational/active space and the non-discrete nature of the boundaries between architecture, landscape, and urbanscape. The architecture, landscape/open space and urbanscape responses to the effects of an annual influx in public occupation of the site inadvertently relate through multiscalar adjustments. The structure is one that is open to change and perturbations based on each subsequent rebuilding of it. In other words, it is an issue of repetition and difference. Over each iteration deviation occurs however in a manner that each subsequent reconstruction is not entropic, i.e., is not a degradation of the original. The studio project will propose and design a Penn Relay carnival structure on a site located adjacent to the Franklin field on the University of Pennsylvania campus. The structure will be a device that mediates between the activities at the ground (tennis courts), through the passage (existing path and within the structure (Franklin Field).
