Plug+Play: New Orleans Event Space Using an overriding, abstract view of layering as a catalyst for design, a system of circulation both of and between program elements is set up utilizing a basic diagram which shows the various program elements selected for this house which include a bedroom, living room, gallery, kitchen, public bathroom, and master bathroom. This diagram allows for the different programs to be both circulation themselves as well as destinations in and of themselves, which calls to mind Robert Venturi’s theory of the both/ and relationship in a complex and contradictory building. Thus, the experience of the space is layered in such a way as to allow for the inhabitant/ viewer to peel through the building as one would through an onion.

A - 111

SKY.BLUE HOUSE The s•ky blue house embodies Kentucky's historic and indigenous breezeway house design—a rectangular building with a central open space that naturally ventilates the house on sultry summer days. With photographic images of Kentucky landscapes integrated into a series of perforated screens on its exterior walls, a sky-viewing ribbon of continuous clerestory windows around the top of each wall, and a selection of native plants, the house has a light and spacious feel that captures the beauty and spirit of Kentucky's land and people.

The team's entry is captured and expressed in its architectural design that blends the beauty, simplicity, and passivity of various elements of historic Kentucky Vernacular and local materials with modern active energy-efficient systems and technologies. In short, the house is eclectic and syncretistic, historic and modern; a combination of human-made and natural energy sources controllable by the house inhabitants to create the desired living conditions for all seasons and the integration of indooroutdoor living spaces.

BOSTON PERFORMING ARTS CENTER

Boston Performing Arts Center The new Boston Performing Arts Center, located along the Charles River in the historic North End neighborhood is an emblem to the harbor. Through its simple gestural structural diagram, it projects into the harbor, dissolving the reclaimed land at its base and allowing for the integration of the natural marsh habitat which for years had been controlled by manmade retention walls and barriers. The entire building, built along two large mega trusses with program hung from their mass, would act as a sort of suspended puppet, hovering above the water. The two performance halls are laid out in a simple barbell arrangment that optimizes lobby and entry conditions, thus minimizing impact on the ground of the site. Just as a puppeteer manipulates a suspended puppet, the programs of the performance arts center are suspended from a strctural system conposed of a mega-truss and lateral members that connect the mega trusses and provide the line of the roof.

Industrial Arts Center Cincinnati Within this era of rapid internationalization, connectivity, and immediate communication, enhanced by the proliferation of web based resources and constantly growing technological interfaces, contemporary life has essentially necessitated a decontextualized formality. No longer are people tied to a particular perspective in their domestic life, but rather they are connected via technology to any number of instances of living/ working throughout the world. architecture, however, can hardly be deterministically tied to this degree of fluid connectivity. Rather, it is bound by a particular “ground”. contemporary culture is Not tied to a “common Ground” but more of a “Shifting Ground”, one where environments of responsiveness supercede those of concrete realities. Domestic architecture, in order to be part of the zeit-geist, should reflect this intelligent malleability and mutibility.

The object of this project is to create a new type of domestic work place that shifts the dialectic of living and working into a new area, one more tied to issues related to connectivity. This would be done at the micro-programmatic scale and more broadly at the macro scale of the urban context, more importantly, issues of contemporary connectivity would allow this project to be an object of cyber connectivity, a kind of “living physical facebook”. It would be a shifting “ground” or platform on which the culture of responsiveness and digitaul cultures of habitation could be constructed.

EXTERIOR CURTAIN WALL FACADE

ENTREPRENEURIAL INCUBATION The interstitial space created by the shifting organizations of program creates a need for a circulation that is not tied to the typical “core” condition found in many other residential complexes, but necessitates a kind of connective network in the building that ties the user to egress, while also allowing for social connectivity. In order to allow for users to interact, thus enhancing a sort of communal cross polination, walking and extended circulation is introduced rather than hyper efficient elevators as means of vertical circulation. “Skip Stop” elevator landings and protracted corridors create moments where potential interpersonal interaction, and thus social and professional interactions can be introduced. Similar to Italo Calvino, the shortest distance between two points is not a straight line, but a meandering line of non sequiturs and randomized experiences..

ARCHITECTURE CODE

Willet’s Point, Queens Train Station This project was developed within the greater context of a new urbanity at the site of the current rail yard at Willets Point, Queens, New York. The site, famously called the Valley of Ashes in the Great Gatsby, is the site of an industrial no man's land near Citi Field with an accentuated need for intense circulation fluctuation. The train station therefore was developed as a manipulated set of circulatory tracts that shift and change scale depending on the most recent train schedules and utilities, both from the stadium, and from the new urbanity created. Therefore, both event and residential concerns needed to be addressed in dealing with an above ground system that would not provide a barrier condition on the site and would rather create a monumental and emblematic paradigm for shifting trends in transportation in the United States.

COMPRESSION TENSION

Circulation reacts to crowd density

The circulatory patterns were observed through various crowd simulation models including game theory, natural observation, lattice gas automota, social pressures, agent based, and fluid dynamics. The resulting paths of flows observed were overlaid on the generic formal condition of platforms along the track as dictacted by the turning radiuses of the Long Island Rail Road. The nodes of social congregation were then seen as “loose intersection” points that could be formalized and accentuated by the addition of vertical circulation to connect the loosely defined first level and the much more structured platform level.

VERTICAL RIBS

The architecture of the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) Pavilions is based on a parametrically designed continuous “ribbon,” an analogous device used to give visual expression to the integrative curriculum of the new university. The ribbon weaves in and out of the lobby space, directed by a series of pre-defined nodes, and connects various spaces above and below. Where it passes between the lobby’s ceiling and floor, it materializes as one of the six pavilions. The constantly changing geometry of the ribbon leads to a unique form for each one of the structures. It also introduces a meandering circulation to the lobby space. To maintain the perception of the curvature of the pavilions and to add to their structural soundness, the design utilizes a system of parametrically derived lateral members. These correspond to the stress densities in the Ribbon at moments of extreme curvature that were computationally analyzed and translated into a seemingly random yet precise placement of the lateral members that is the result of the particular local geometries of the ribbon.

“To call architecture a game is to acknowledge a particular approach to the discipline. Beyond evoking an attitude of play and cunning, thinking architecture as game mobilized a spectrum of strategies and operations such that they become critical and discursive. In researching the many dimensions of gameness in architecture we have consulted historical, philosophical and architectural sources in an attempt to pin down the meaning of “game” and the intention of games in architecture. Through the identification of the key characteristics of games and theorizing their translation into architectural terms, we have proposed a preliminary set of rules which might guide the practice of architecture as a game. This approach proposes an evolving structure which, like any game, is activated by the strategies and tactics of the individual player.” -Studio Manual Within the context of the studio taught by visiting critic Wes Jones, the project, a museum for the Space Shutlte Endeavour in Exhibition Park, Los Angeles, was to be thought of as a game . Games are distinguished as much by their rules as by the play those rules enable or circumscribe. In architecture the more important rules are not inherited or legislated, but discovered on the fly, in the feeling of rightness that settles over the project as it is refined during the course of design. The game s natural regard for thinking and cleverness will be operationalized through willful, managed design that explicitly articulates relevant issues regarding the choice of games, their rule sets and criteria for success (and modes of failure), as well as the strategies and tactics of play.In the case of this design, the primary game played was one of historical interaction and juxtaposition as a means of preservation and additive architectural integration.

Following a midterm twist by Wes Jones, a second shuttle, the Russian shuttle Buran, was added to the program, thus creating a duality game that was integrated into the original historical reaction game. This created a new set of relationships that allowed for a potential new reading of the building in the circulation that unveils and reveals through lighting, structure, and color.

Based on a system of controlled recusive growth with the shuttle acting as a primary catalyst, the macro form of the exhibition space and the more hyper specific and predetermined form of the shuttle start to subdivide and create a cellular system of spatial conditions within the exhibition space. In this way, not only can the exhibition space act as an object that relates to site/ context conditions but can also be directly formally relative to the form of the space shuttle and program can organically be derived within the shape of the exhibition space itself.

GSD PLATFORM 4

GSD Platform 4 Installation at Gund Hall The Platform 4 exhibiton design compliments the publication of the Platform 4 book, and showcases work from the 2010-2011 academic year at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. The plywood tables serve as a modular display surface for the physical models. Each table is made of four 4X8 sheets of plywood with no material waste. Light fixtures with adjustable goosenecks allow users to refocus the attention to the models. Colored lights under the tables correspond to the exhibition themes and create subtle zones within the exhibtion.

Symbiotic Vaulting: Libreville Airport Inherent in the parameters of airport functionality is the need to eliminate all traces of ecology. Sites mustbe absolutely flat, devoid of standing water, and lacking vegetation, which can attract unwanted wildlife. Not only do airports require a lack of ecological systems, spatially they require extremely expansive horizontal space, displacing large amounts of both ecological and urban program when sited close to a city. While local government explored new sites for a larger future airport, we proposed maintaining the current location and adding a second runway that is raised above the ground level. This allows for the airport to remain proximate to the city without sacrificing the ecological and urban program that most airports displace.

Parametric Operations Single Vault Creation

Landscape/Vault Integration

By elevating the runway and airport operations, we are separating airport functionality from ecological and urban phenomena that commonly interfere with airport operations. Elevating the airport program allows better hydrological, vegetal, and wildlife control within the airport site, while also allowing ecological and urban program to exist beneath and around the runway without interfering with standard airport operations.

workPLACE

workPLACE \\\ Ubiquitous Confluence Technology, particularly that of mobile computing, has become increasingly ubiquitous in contemporary culture. This has had a substantial impact on architecture and urbanism, generally redefining their various dichotomies and programmatic separations without dramatically changing the physical nature of this built environment.

Workspaces, and really the entire nature of work today, has been particularly affected by these changes, though the design of workspaces has not been considerably changed. While technology has become increasingly mobile, embedded, and augmented, specific places for work have been replaced by remote work and home offices, creating a sort of slacelessness. To counter this, a reimagining of the contemporary typology of the tech campus and tech incubator could produce a place for business that fosters innovation and discovery by exploiting and enhancing social and programmatic synergies.

Spaces between spaces, or areas of confluence, have the most potential for social augmentation. In existing office spaces, recognizing these is a matter of studying the preexisting conditions. In the formation of new buildings however, one need only look at conditions that would naturally occur in building. Necessary programs and spaces, such as vertical circulation, bathrooms, and lobbies can be emphasized and arranged in a way that would dramatically increase their effectiveness as a place of confluence. Rather than compressing these spaces into tightly knit cores to increase their absolute efficiency or shoved to the periphery of buildings, these spaces should become the heart of the building, weaving themselves into the fabric of the social spaces and becoming the primary spaces of social engagement, particularly as everybody has to use these spaces.

“The sprawling gigantismqueensboro of the bridge twentieth-century city, that was the leading inexorably to megalopolis and thence to necropolis, the death of the city.� (Mumford, 1960: quoted in Wilson, 1995 p. 147) 43rd street

The very boundaries between the various parts of the city would be brought into direct contact with each other in very complex networked ways. Given the globally pervasive nature of this new type of urbanism, it could even be inferred that cities boundaries would be obliterated, creating an absolute megalopolis. This super urbanism, or as Mumford considers is, dead urbanism, would be so complex and inundated with various networks, physical and digital, that its very character as a city in the traditional sense would be suspect.
