The Hallway by Annabelle, Caroline and Hanibal

The person walking through should feel somewhat claustrophobic when the walls seem to be getting closer. The two walls interconnect and tell a story: the story of Holden Caulfield and his troubles.

Building Holden From Scratch by Patrick & Wilson

Overall, this project was a rewarding experience. It took a lot of thought to create the structure; not only did we have to conjure an idea, but we also had to convert it into a tangible object.

Twisted Tunnels by Jeannie & Deborah

This project made me look at Holden in a whole new light, and forced me to really look at him more as a human being rather than just a book character that I had to analyze.

Building Holden Caulfield by Amanda & Greer

The unsupported spiral stairs that allow people to see inside the building also look like they could fall apart at any moment, like Holden who is on the verge of collapse throughout his whole narration.

Untitled Structure by Julian & Brian

The points of the walls are to act as representations of the "phony" similarities between all the people that Holden knows.

Understanding Holden by Monica & Anu

At one point he tells the reader “I felt so lonesome, all of a sudden. I almost wished I was dead.” This information is given only to the reader. This shows that the reader is one of the privileged few who get to know the little truths about Holden that people around him do not.

Won't Let Go by Julian & Shayan

To begin with my partner and I had completely different ideas and we had to come up with something that we both liked. We decided to combine our ideas of Holden being on his own path and how time was ticking down.

Holden’s Infinite Journey by Laura, Kebron and Cady

Because of the close spatial relationship of the walls they will feel like they are confined and can only see one thing and also that they have only one path to take.

Architecture Based on Literature by Lytton & Odalis

Creating an architectural structure on the book made me think about and analyze the book in a totally different way. Because architecture is focus mostly on space, we had to analyze the feeling it gives to a reader and implement that in our design.

Meeting Holden Caulfield by Thanuri & Michelle

This is why people who meet Holden have a hard time getting to know him. He hides away and showcases someone else. The few people who do earn his trust, have traveled a long, difficult journey. That expedition is what I wanted to emulate in my structure.

Holden and His Thoughts by Ronaldo & Gaby

Don’t you hate it when you are walking with a group and then suddenly you are walking all alone and your friends are not by your side in an unknown place? This is the feeling we wanted to convey in our structure.

Building Mood Swings By Britanya & Saloni

While reading the novel there were three main points that stuck out about Holden; his different emotions, his mental instability, and his need in running away from everything. These three key points were the inspiration that led me to design this structure.
