Reveal: Urban Nature Manhattan, NY Critic: Nahyun Hwang 2018 Spring Partner: Biyi Ruan

In a highly urbanized environment, there are some ignored urban nature that are generated by the city with great potential to be reutilized. The proposed educational network suggest the possibilities of different ways to explore the urban nature. The network is comprised of a series of small-scale interventions, hacking into existing urban conditions to reveal what’s hidden and serve as site specific classrooms. Such urban conditions include steam infrastructure, windy condition enhanced by skyscrapers, and combined sewer system. The intervention itself acts as a machine that coupled with a selected infrastructure network and visualizes the process of converting the unused energy in each system into new forms, demonstrating the dialectical, codependent, even convertible relationship between city and nature. It also celebrates the constantly changing urban status quo by means of reflecting real-time urban conditions, so that it becomes a transient phenomenon that transformed over time.

The network has the potential to collaborate with NYC Department of Environmental Protection and Department of Education. DEP and DOE have already collaborated with NYC Department of Parks to use city constructed parks as natural exploration classrooms for pre-k to 12th grade students. Our project will function as the opposite, as immersive learning classrooms of urban conditions. Respond to the income inequality reality in NYC, they can also be used as after school space providing study space and wifi, using the electricity generated by the structure itself; furthermore, they are designed considering anticipated flood threat, to become emergency pods that provideelectricity and wifi independent from electrical grid.

Three prototypes are designed at these three representative Manhattan locations: social housing, mid-town with highrise buildings and riverfront.

4

Each intervention would have multiple sites, scattering around the city.There can be more different iterations of prototypes distributed in the city. During daytime, they are onsite classrooms; at night, they can offer afterschool study space; during flood situation, they provide wifi and electricity, even purified water.

Steam The new york city steam system is on average over 65 years old and need constant maintenance through manhole. 23% of the water, running through underground pipes that are average over 75 years old, would leak during the process.

These water would heat off as steam when they falls onto the hot steam pipes. Which result in the typical Manhattan scene of orange and white “chimneys� with steam coming out on the streets.

The first intervention can be plugged into these manholes, utilizing the wasted steam energy. It expose the process of white steam transform to transparent water drops when converting kinetic, pressure and temperature energy to electricity power. Students can engage with the warm column in the middle and the reflecting pool formed by condensed water. Multiple seating and study space at different levels are provided to enhance observation. The condensed water can also be used to water the nearby gardens.

Wind The skyscrapers enhanced wind effect makes some urban space much more windy than others.

The intervention takes advantage of this effect by referencing a new technology - windbelt - a wind power harvesting device converting wind power to electricity.

The membrane between the two supports vibrates due to aeroelastic flutter when wind blows across it. The magnet attached on the membrane vibrates as well, generating current due to electromagnetic induction. It is much more sensitive to capture slight wind than traditional wind turbine.

The design has a double curtain system. The curtains at the exterior layer vibrates dramatically as they directly respond to the wind on site while the interior curtains are attached to the windbelts and vibarates comparably gently as an indirect response to the wind. As the membrane vibrates, it produce electricty for lighting and wifi hotspot.

CSO Combined sewer systems collect rainwater, greywater and blackwater in the same pipe. During the periods of heavy rainfall or snowmelt, the wastewater volume in the pipe exceeds its capacity and goes directly into rivers and seas. They are a major water pollution concern in NYC. The design utilizes microbial fuel cell technology.

The technology uses the bacteria already present in the wastewater, connecting to the anode and cathode to produce electricity and clean water.

CSO Outfalls Network

The horizontality of filters creates a gradient water wall. The water becomes cleaner when going up and runs from the top to the reflecting pool on the one side and irrigating the water plants on the other side. The structure is floating up and down as the sea level rises and falls.

Y E CA Mexico City, Mexico Critic: Mark Rakatansky & Jorge Otero - Pailos Architecture & Historic Preservation joint studio 2018 Fall

The US Embassy in Mexico city is going to be relocated, leaving the current embassy calling for new proposals. Built in 1960s, by Southwestern Architects, the embassy was inadequate to be declared as landmark. But still, the translucent marble facade, the flowing arcade on the first level, the delicate sunken courtyard all brought great aesthetic importance to this building.

High unemployment rate has always been a serious problem in Mexico. One way the city is trying to confront this challenge is by promoting entrepreneurship in high school students. Thus, I’m proposing Young Entrepreneurs Coworking Association (YECA). A place to work, learn and get inspired.

In the Era of knowledge worker, working is not confine to doing repetitive work in a confined space anymore. Work, or thinking, is ever going on, and can be inspired by interaction with other parties. The proposed YECA redefines working space not by task but by activity; not by goal but by process; not by contained but by creating dialogue. It provides high flexibility and possibilities for different forms of interaction.

One continuous path starts from the sunken plaza to the roofscape that activates workspace and erase hierarchy sectionally. The path naturally divides space into dynamic and quiet parts on each level due to slope limitations. Different forms of spatial relationship are created along its way that becomes exchange moments.

29

Sunken Plaza / Street Level: Work / Public Exchange

The original building is raised above street level, hard for public to access. By switching the main entry to the corner of the busier bypass, having grand staircase wrapping around the corner with ramp intersecting in between that lead to the sunken courtyard, and restaurants, shops on the basement level, the building invites the public in. and creates possibilities for spontaneous interactions.

In the meantime, this level is redefining working through activities such as eating, walking or talking to stranger.

F2 / F3: Knowledge Exchange

By introducing double height spaces for library, performance space and open auditorium that are facilitates by coworkers and participated by the public. Horizontally, these space are intersected by the continuous path that creates dialogue with these programs through soft boundaries, eg, bookshelves that is accessible from both sides, glass partitions.

This level is redefining working through observing, auditing or preparing for teaching.

Roof: Work / Nature Exchange

The path grow into undulating landscape on the roof level that forms farmland and garden space sloping towards south in which private zones are defined by soft buffers of bushes. Event spaces: farmers market, observation deck and rooftop bar, are formed when the ramps intersect at the horizontal planes.

This level is redefining working through planting, farming or even relaxing

Library as Garden Brooklyn, NY Critic: Mimi Hoang 2017 Spring Individual Project

Since antiquity, people aspire to an ideal of a combination of garden and library. Quoted from Marcus Tullius Cicero, “If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.� The quote captures the essence to nurture both body and mind equivalently.

I conceive my library as garden. Garden, as the intermedia between public and private space, is a broad term that ranges from an open air public space, a semi-enclosed greenery, an interior courtyard, to a skylight defined area, by having different degrees of enclosure. Library experience, in parallel with garden typology, can be subdivided to informal reading / social space, group reading space, small group reading / discussion space and individual reading space according to its level of privacy.

The project references garden-like spatial qualities that have the quality of both interior and exterior from Morgan Library Extension and the Utrecht Library as well as specific Eastern garden typologies (Chinese and Japanese gardens) to reconcile the ambiguous relationship between interior and exterior , circulation and views.

Micro Urbanism Housing Bronx, NY Critic: Jinhee Park 2017 Fall

The project seeks to explore the possibilities of boundaries between private and public space by redefining threshold conditions at a finer grain.

Four programs selected to be distinguished: library, greenhouse, storefront, playground, are from concentration and intensify of local activities. Each apartment type seeks to accommodate the potential idiosyncrasies and enhance interactions between residents through thresholds between private, semi-public and communal space. Then they aggregate in such a way that programmatically divide the themed building to three bands or rings of living, circulation and communal activity space. On the third level, a continuous strip of public space, winding around the existing trees on site, acts as the threshold that connects eight themed buildings at various sizes and the community center. Instead of separate the location of living and preferred activities, the redefined thresholds creates a more intimate experience of living in a library, in a garden, in a shopping mall, in a amusement park.

Thus, an archipelago of idiosyncratic buildings develops reciprocity and synergy, and ultimately, micro urbanism.

Bushwick Flex Theater 25 Franklin Street, Brooklyn, NY Partners: Michael Choi, Jiachen Xu, Wo Wu Critic: Junko Nakagawa, Clementina Ruggieri, Jason Stone 2017 Fall: Building Systems Integration

Locate at the Bushwick Inlet as well as the starting point of the waterfront park, the Bushwick Flex Theater takes advantage of the view towards Manhattan, the East River and the park.

The gate is oriented towards the park, where majority of the circulation would come from. The main flexible theater on the ground floor is oriented towards the East River. It has an operable facade which can be opened up and extend the indoor theater to the outdoor stepped seatings, while the Manhattan skyline becames a scenic backdrop for the stage.The experienmental theater is located on the third floor, which can be opened up to the above, providing an intimate but well-lit space.

The theater also creates a hierarchy of views by adopting facade materials of different transparancy level. The promenade stairs that encircles the core theater volume correspond to clear glazing on the exterior facade, whilst others are translucent glazing. The back of house has opaque facade that acts as a soft buffer between the glass box with the existing constructions on site.

Container Studio for Artist Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg Groupwork at urban design phase with Kelly Douglass Critic: Gerardo Brown-Manrique, Ingbert Schilz 2014 Fall

Luxembourg is a country whose economy is largely dependent on steel industry. This project’s site used to be an important steel mill which lies on the steel industry belt along the French border.

The proposed urban design solution is a low density, mixed-use plan with partially preserved still mill museum to recall the history. The entire urban design keeps the scale of the neighboring towns with a few dispersed highrise buildings to create some hierarchy to the urban skyline.

The project explores a new relationship between urban environment and architecture within the context of a typical European small town. Starting with the urban design of the brown field between Esch-sur-Alzette and Schifflange, our mission was to renovate this area where used to be an industrial center with a steel mill. The area where I decided to focus on in the later stage is the central plaza with the main commercial strip.

Shipping containers are typical transportation unit for steel production manufactures. The abandoned containers on site are available to be reused for creative design. Containers as single module for artist studio are flexible and as symbols of industrialization,which also reminds people of history, development and modernization.

After studying local European housing types, the artist studio design took a approach that combines vernecular with industrial, traditional with modernity.

Studio for Artists:

Located at the culture center of its urban environment, the Artists' Studios are the starting pieces of the mix-use pedestrian street and "gateways" to the adjacent residential area. The Artists' Studios, together with the library, and the museum forms the facades of the plaza the center where various outdoor exhibitions and performances can take place.

Why containers?

Shipping containers are typical transportation unit for manufactures. The used containers on site are available to be reused. Containers as symbols of industrialization,which also reminds people of history, development and modernization.

Container Renovation Install insulation and piping

Reuse redundant steel sheet as furniture

Reuse frame as stair upholder

Use crane to put each container in place

Up Down 14th ST A Ave, New York, NY Critic: Adam Frampton 2016 Fall

This intervention is mainly about circulation and movement. The sculptural shape reflects not only the busy street corners at the intersection but also the dynamics of the city. The intervention invites people to meet and engage in this platform, serves as a catalyst of closer relationships between people within such a fast pace society. It’s a place where people interact with each other and with the intervention itself. From the corner, people can observe the intersection or the city from multiple levels. It celebrates physicality by encouraging people walk up and down. As the intervention moves from sunrise to sunset, people’s experience when climbing up and down the corner changes and the so does the view.

The intervention has two sets of stairs from bottom to the top. They wrap around the vertical elevator in the center which also works as a hinge. So when the two wings form a right angle, either in the inward or the outward position, only one set of stair circulation works, and the other one is not connected. The two wings of the intervention forms 90 degree angle when sunrise or sunset, when most perspective visitors would climb up and down the intervention to enjoy the view. It moves continuously within a 24 hour cycle.

The corner transform from the original spot to the opposite corner. The elevator in the middle moves along the diagonal line, and the two blocks rotate around it.

Each plan is cut at every 24’.

Iceberg 14th ST 1 Ave, New York, NY Critic: Adam Frampton 2016 Fall

Located at a lively neighborhood, endless stream of commuters passes by on a regular basis. The proposed subway station corresponds to the metaphor of iceberg. It responds to the busy surroundings by introducing an understated entrance above ground, not interrupting the flow of the city. In contrast, theatrical space with all sorts of spatial quality and programs intersecting with each other underground, to improve the experience of the commuters.

The theatricality is enhanced by the irregularity of the geometrical volumes, for all volumes are tapered in a way designated to form visual cue and creating a sense of movement. Furthermore, mirroring the theatrical reality above the street level, the typical Manhattan life.
