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.
