URBAN DESIGN BUILD STUDIO Deconstructing Blight explores the notions of deconstruction and blight in the multi-faceted and complex network of issues and topics that are inherently tied to the words. Deconstruction both in the literal sense of deconstructing a building for material reuse, as well as in the figurative sense of deconstructing the pre-existing notions of blight, concentrated poverty and targeted disinvestment. While blight is often perceived in a negative light as neglected, rundown, or deteriorated conditions in urban areas, there is also opportunity that can be used to ameliorate the situation. This work is then applied in the context of proposing two housing prototypes that aim to generate funds to be reinvested to prevent the displacement of existing community members. These housing prototypes strive to respond to the Pittsburgh context, establish priorities, and propose an innovative take on what a home in Pittsburgh should be. The experiences and work shown portray the range of interrogation, analysis, and experimentation in this accumulation of both individual and collaborative work.

CONTEXT The premises of this studio lie in the issue of concentrated poverty specifically in the context of Pittsburgh. Through a series of exercises establishing a knowledge of the history of systematic de jure and de facto segregation, its impact, and a library of vocabulary to be used to discuss these issues, the studio familiarized FEELING UNWELCOME TO NEW DEVELOPMENT

itself with the scope of the work. This continued in a series of assignments and meetings to understand the organizations playing a key role in reversing the effects of concentrated poverty in Pittsburgh as well as exploring the affected communities. Ultimately, these experiences served as a foundation for the work to be completed as a two part series of studios addressing these issues.

MAPPING BLIGHT: PHOTOGRAMMTERY In order to better understand the impact and physical presence of blight in Pittsburgh, we were tasked with making use of photogrammetry, that is the use of a series of photos to generate a 3D model of an object or environment, to begin understanding the dimensionality of urban blight. This work was performed using various softwares including Autodesk Recap and 3DF Zephyr which were crucial to developing an understanding of the process and how to make it more efficient. In collecting the imagery, we were also able to gain insight into the perceptions of the community as well as engage in active discussion regarding the issues of concentrated poverty, urban blight, as well as how to approach addressing these issues. Conversations also gave valuable insight to the range of sentiments regarding issues of development and gentrification in their neighborhoods.

MAPPING BLIGHT: DISPARITY In collaboration with Carnegie Mellon Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s IDeATe Program, this project explored issues of blight on various scales using GIS data and representation software, ultimately aiming to tackle issues of materiality and quantity in regards to condemned buildings. My group took ownership of Wards 9-16 and decided to hone in on the greatest disparity of wealth, most severe demographic singularity, and most comprehensive portrayal of the impact of de facto and especially de jure segregation in the past, Homewood and Point Breeze. Point Breeze, one of the most affluent neighborhoods, is a mere 5 block widths away from Homewood, one of the the United Statesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; most devastatingly disinvested neighborhoods. While the straightforward analysis of median incomes and crime rates shows the statistical differences, the architectural aspect of the issue portrays that the combination of vacant lots and condemned buildings can be used to provide a more positive outlook .

MAPPING BLIGHT: MATERIAL In order to begin understanding the potential of deconstruction and material reuse, it was significant to begin understanding what materials were present in the landscape and where opportunity could be found. Using GIS data and representation software, maps were generated showing how different materials populated specifically Homewood. When combining all of the maps, it is possible to begin understanding the general composition of Homewood in regards to material or vacancy. The adjacencies of buildings and vacancies begins to portray a sense of the neighborhood and the scale of the issue. Even so, it is clear that there still is much potential in regards to land that can be purposed for uplifting communities, and also that the abundance of contextual brick and wood construction can serve as opportunities for members of the community for developing valuable skills. Furthermore, these materials can be then reinvested into the community or sold to benefit the community.

DECONSTRUCTION: IMPACT In regards to the magnitude of scale of the deconstruction, choosing to demolish a building could be more wasteful than an entire life’s production of waste, based on the following: Americans produce 4.4 pounds of trash/day * 365 days/year * 75 years/lifetime = 120,450 pounds of trash/lifetime However, deciding to demolish one building could easily produce around 120,000 pounds of waste alone. Deconstruction also is an issue greater than sustainability, or reducing how much trash we produce, or reusing what has already been environmentally paid for. Ultimately, deconstruction is inherently tied to human beings and people, that deconstruction is made to invest in people, not in landfills or material reuse facilities. While actually performing the deconstruction of a building on campus was difficult, timeconsuming, and tiring, it was extremely satisfying knowing the impact of our work.

DECONSTRUCTION: COMPREHENSION The deconstruction of mechanical systems is quite like a puzzle, where by knowing a couple key principles, one can attempt to figure out the best way to deconstruct a system. The main principle, at least for plumbing, was to avoid cutting pieces at the joints so that washers/nuts/hardware would not get damaged and risk rendering the entire connection of the

pipe useless. Furthermore, when cutting along the length of a pipe, it is important to remember to keep as long of a length as possible intact so that it can be more easily reused. In order to begin understanding how systems came together, a series of drawings of â&#x20AC;&#x153;deconstructedâ&#x20AC;? systems were produced to isolate the parts and produce clarity and relationships between parts.

The main barrier to theproliferation of deconstruction work is the lack of deconstruction documentation and a system of securing adequate permissions from authorities having jurisdiction and financing projects due to the comparatively higher risk in comparison to demolition. Even so, given the potential health detriments linked to demoli-

tion, our studio collaborated to, over the course of the deconstruction project, generate a set of drawings that portrayed the process of deconstructing a building in a similar format to construction documents, but, of course, with the opposite goal. By producing a volume of work that describes deconstruction and serves as an example to build off of, the studio can hopefully inspire deconstruction over demolition.

RE PERSPECTIVE

DECONSTRUCTION: ANALYSIS Another crucial aspect of deconstruction documentation is understanding the yield, required tools, and labor force associated with the project. I designed the graphic to begin explaining where the material ended up, whether it was salvaged or sent to landfill, then distinguishing the breakdown of amount recycled, reused, or lost to material processing. This creates a foundation for a database of knowledge that can be furthered to inform future deconstruction projects. In conjunction with this graphic was the tool portfolio which outlined the tools used during the deconstruction project. This information can then serve as a reference portfolio for deconstruction trainees to use in seeking out jobs after their training of their experience working with a plethora of tools. Furthermore, the tool portfolio shows the wide range of equipment necessary to deconstruct even a small, modular structure, albeit one that was fully conditioned and serviced in regards to mechanical systems.

DECONSTRUCTION: EPILOGUE After the deconstruction project had ended, much was executed in parallel with the project and after its conclusion to make full use of the work performed. The UDBS compiled and curated an exhibit that was displayed in the Great Hall of the College of Fine Arts Building.Materials reclaimed were sorted for what was useful, denailed to allow for stacking, catalogued, wrapped, then organized by material type into gaylords for storage. This process also portrayed the quantity of material, hypothesize its possible uses, and also to comprehend the amount of labor that is invested in such a process.Working in collaboration with the Reality Computing (IDeATe) students, a deconstruction game catered to job skills training was produced. By creating a platform of conveying information and getting simulated practice with deconstructing, this game could eventually become a powerful tool for teaching deconstruction in a safer, more manageable, and more digestible manner to deconstruction trainees.

RE_CON HOUSING PROTOTYPES The 2017-2018 cohort of UDBS students performed extensive research to determine that the fee simple development proposal was deemed the most suitable for the funds and time available. In this proposal, houses are designed, built, and sold at market rate. The profit generated from the project is then invested in an escrow account to support existing community members by offseting rising rent costs or supplementing house repairs. In addition, the replacement of a vacant lot also drastically increases the value of surrounding homes, thus generating wealth for their owners. Our role in achieving the maximum impact rests in designing a marketable, replicable home that can be constructed efficiently to make as much profit margin as possible to make the maximum impact. However, we must also reconcile how our collective and individual opinions and passions inform the design of the house whether in regards to sustainability, technology, beliefs, or otherwise.

RE_CON HOUSING PROTOTYPES: CONTEXT In scaling the solution to the problem, replicability is a principle that cannot be overlooked. And for a project like RE_CON, one critical element of replication is the types of vacant lots that the design will be applied to and how they compares to the first sites. In this case, by working through ArcGIS, the Pittsburgh Real Estate Portal, and other

resources, we catalogued specific attributes in vacant lots in Garfield, East Liberty, and Larimer. We focused on issues of lot size, whether lots were grouped or individual, whether they were corner or infill lots, whether they were adjacent to an alleyway, and their dominant orientation of the longer axis of the lot. This information allowed us to determine the mindset that should be applied to RE_CON 01 & 02.

RE_CON HOUSING PROTOTYPES: MARKET TRENDS Last May (2018), a cohort of students presented in front of the East Liberty Development Inc. (ELDI) and were met with many positive comments regarding the work. Even so, there were some concerns brought up about the proposed design that were discussed as points of improvement and aspects of the design to revisit. While some issues were related to simple fixes in code compliance of bathrooms and stairs, others were concerning the marketability of the design due to the lack of storage space, the sizes of bedrooms, and the issue of safety and privacy with the first floor. Another comment was that the proposal did not look like Pittsburgh in its exterior aesthetic. These issues were to be resolved, however a significant change of the type of site from a corner lot to a double infill condition occurred which changed the resultant approach to designing the building.

RE_CON HOUSING PROTOTYPES: ANALYSIS Throughout the process of designing the housing prototypes, various aspects of the building we considered in relation to the current market rate comparables. By using contextual examples that have been sold by the real estate agent that we are working with, it is much easier to weigh priorities, understand where risks may be too great, and establish boundaries of comfort and ease of selling. In designing the prototype, not only were the design of the spaces and the general organization of the houses carefully discussed, but also ideas of how materials could be repurposed were implemented to begin imagining the deconstructed materials in a new life. By using recent examples that sold in our target price range, we were able to apply these values and proportions to the prototypes. Furthermore, we were careful to retain crucial characteristics that we believed to be fundamental to Pittsburgh, for example, the front porch.

RE_CON 01 & 02 RE-USED MATERIAL YIELDED FROM DE_CON 01

RE_CON HOUSING PROTOTYPES: PLANS After much discussion and working through a variety of proposals, it was decided that the barbell scheme would be used in consideration of the abundance of narrower vacant lots in general. Furthermore, in regards to achieving a sense of spaciousness, it was important to not lose width by positioning the stair along the long axis of the building as it would make spaces more narrow in nature and create a more claustrophobic effect. The design also incorporates a more informal carport in the place of a garage which is intended to dissuade people from parking there in favor of using the space as an extension of the porch. The issues brought up during the May 2018 meeting have been resolved, with more storage space implemented, the code compliance issues resolved, and bedrooms have been sized to compete with market rates homes. Regarding issues of privacy and safety stemming from the quantity of fenestration on the first floor presented in May are no longer as relevant considering that the infill situation makes the first floor open porch concept illogical. Because RE_CON 01 is the southern house, the design of the fenestration is

heavily focused along the south, west, and east facades and is very conservative with fenestration along the north facade. This general strategy differs greatly from the natural lighting strategy for RE_CON 02 and will be one of the most considerable differences between the two designs. Sprinkled within the plans, diagrams, and renders are proposed ways in which the UDBS can design and build pieces of the house. Given the timeline, logistics, and other challenges related to having students build the houses from foundation to finishes, it has been decided that a general contractor will build the project. Although it would have been a fantastic learning experience, it would be less feasible and it is quite valuable to have a general contractor on board who can interpret and test the drawings and design to see if it is buildable by the construction force and contractors in Pittsburgh. In regards to replicability, relating the work to the skills and capabilities of the regional talent is absolutely critical.

Solar Decathlon Design Challenge Criteria

AESTHETICS

Given that Pennsylvania (and thus PIttsburgh as well) recently adopted the 2015 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC 2015), the requirements in regards to energy consumption in residential buildings have become more aggressive. Even so, many would consider it insufficient and many rating systems (ex. Living Building Challenge) were researched to identify benchmarks to aim for. While ambitious rating systems such as the Passive House Standard were appealing, the price associated with certification could be better invested. Although the argument could be made that for replicability, getting one prototype certified would imply that all iterations of the design would be of comparable energy performance, the risks associated with getting certified were too great. Thus, the Solar Decathlon Competition seemed to be an ideal option. Many of the goals of the competition lie parallel to the objectives listed for RE_CON and

it would provide a platform to evaluate our proposal and gain experience in designing sustainable homes. Furthermore, given that the spectrum of sustainability for the project would range from IECC 2015 to the Passive House Standard, the Solar Decathlon Competition allows for the project to find a healthy medium between the two where the intent of the project itself is not overly burdened by the cost or inhibited by the reduction of building width, but also where the project strives to reduce energy consumption. One issue in reconciling the choice to be more sustainable is the initial investment and lifecycle as well as maintenance costs. While investing more initially can save a homeowner a large sum, it is uncertain as to how this converts into actual value for the pricing of a building. In essence, what is the price tag of sustainability in homes? And where is the healthy balance between meeting code and designing zero energy housing?

RE_CON HOUSING PROTOTYPES: FEEDBACK During the final review, we were extremely lucky to have a large of people of diverse backgrounds take the time to gather and review the work done during this semester. The subject and focus of the review was the marketablility of the house design and its feasibility in regards to cost. In conversing with a few architects, we realized that understanding the cost of what was drawn would be critical to finding success and that consulting a contractor often would be crucial to understanding the cost of design decisions. Even so, it was also great to have a seasoned real estate agent such as Sarah Madia available to begin answering questions about what sells, what doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, and what directly raises or lowers the value of a home. Looking forward, the schedule is to generate a construction documentation set during the Spring 2019 semester with meetings amd deadlines lining up for construction of RE_CON 01 & 02 to begin during the Summer of 2019.

ENVIRONMENTAL CHARTER SCHOOL The Environmental Charter School of Pittsburgh’s mission is toprovide a safe, healthy environment to educate engaged, active citizens of society. In this effort, the keystone of the success of a school lies in the ability of the school is in providing inspiring places for student to learn. As such, the private, school-centered spaces should be allocated sufficient space and positioned in a way benefiting students’ education. Even so, the ECS mission is lofty and believes that the school must also provide a permeable design that allows for community-space sharing, while ensuring the safety of learners and faculty members and implementing collaborative and independent spaces. As such, two imperative aspects of the project will be the maintenance of the safety of students while being inviting to community members and the variety of spaces accessible to the students in their learning experiences.

MASSING & CONTEXT The general massing of the project follows a modified bar format. Due to the site’s primary E-W axis, it provides a great opportunity to make use of the sun’s positioning to create well lit spaces indoors as well as provide plenty of outdoor space for the teachers and students to use. The orientation of the site hints to the use of the northern edge of the site for productivity dependent spaces such as the offices for administration, teachers, and faculty, as well as the studio classrooms. These spaces would be able to avoid glare and would experience day lit spaces optimal for visual and The project uses a bar massing strategy to take advantage of Pittsburgh’s climate and the site’s positioning.

thermal comfort. Along the south, more public spaces would be positioned with green spaces and outdoor spaces to provide plenty of opportunities to get fresh air and shift learning spaces outdoors. This arrangement allows for sunlight to penetrate the southern facade of the building, creating contrasting lighting conditions suitable for more active learning as well as more sedentary learning. The project site rests along Penn Avenue which divides the residential context to the south from the commercial hallway created by the avenue. This presents an interesting condition where the The project uses a bar massing strategy to take advantage of Pittsburgh’s climate and the site’s positioning.

“[The Environmental Charter School] defines sustainability as acting in the best interest of our planet and our people. Our purpose as an academic institution and stewards of the planet is to educate our students on how to respect and value the natural world and its resources. We seek to reflect our values and teachings in how we operate our building and model responsible behaviors for our students and the wider community.”

The project uses a bar massing strategy to answer the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique commercial and residential context.

MASSING STRATEGY

MASSING & CONTEXT (cont.) Environmental Charter School can more easily engage in partnerships will organizations such as Assemble while remaining accessible to the general public. Furthermore, the green space within the Allegheny Cemetery across Penn Avenue also serves as a larger greenspace for students to explore and learn from which runs parallel to their mission and their way of teaching. The projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed circulation strategy features two sets of stairs for vertical ascension on the east and west sides of the building connected by a long, straight hallway. This design provides a simplistic circulation route to prevent confusion. In addition, the linearity of the hallways allow for fewer blind spots, allowing the teachers to more easily check for any issues and also preventing problems such as The bullying.

CONTEXTUAL RESPONSE Given the commercial context to the north of and along Penn Avenue, the north facade maintains the tempo of the commercial hallway along the north street frontage using balconies and opening outdoor space along the north facade. Considering however, how the commercial zone to the north dissolves into a residential zone to Edmond Street the south, it was important to address this by also changing mate-

riality from the commercial corrugated metal to brick which is more familiar to the residential houses to the south. As such, the building attempts to break down its facade from the formal response to the Penn Avenue context to a smaller scale along the southern facade. This transition also uses the east and west facades as gradients to begin this transformation and dissolving to the south. South Mathilda Street

INTEGRATION OF PUBLIC The Environmental Charter School seeks to incorporate the local community in its culture and daily operation. The public should be welcome to utilize the resources of the school, to view the work of students, and to share designated spaces as a resource to the community during appropriate hours. Furthermore, parents, when visiting the school, should experience the variety of spaces and also be exposed to the range of work done. As a building situated in a unique context bordering both commercial and residential zones of Bloomfield, the school should also strive to provide a resource to the public to not only advertise the work of the school and its students, but also to integrate more seamlessly into the context and welcome the local community to its premises to promote trust.

The public library is located on the first floor just past the entrance vestibule of the school. It is furnished with bookshelf benches and features work tables and seating closer to the southern edge of the building. The concept is not to have a strict library card system, but rather a trust system where community members are welcome to donate and borrow books freely. In this way, a system of trust can be developed between community members and the school. The public can also then donate and invest in the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resources as well as see the ECS studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; work displayed in the public area. The space can also then be used by community members as work spaces available to them at reasonable hours. Furthermore, this space can pioneer the formation of the relationship that the ECS desires to have with the local community in the way it manifests that spirit physically.

CONNECTION TO NATURE (cont.) public spaces that surround it. On the upper floors, because ECS teachers are all assigned their own room, the classroom spaces are private spaces for each class which are flanked to the south by communal Study Hall spaces and Think Lab spaces. The more private spaces are occupied for more extended periods of time and thus make use of northern day lit whereas the more public spaces are contrastingly bright given the sunlight that lights these spaces. These spaces provide a more diverse set of spaces for the Environmental Charter School to work and allows for the teachers to have more flexibility in regards to their â&#x20AC;&#x153;classroomâ&#x20AC;?. The project features landscaped green spaces, both for educational purposes and for planting/growing use that are available to the community. These spaces ultimately can help to give back to the community and serve as yet another potential way to form relationships with local businesses and neighbors.

SPAIGR WALL SECTIONS The Environmental Charter School applies the SPAIGR model of detailing wall sections to enable the building to have a more continuous thermal envelope and to minimize thermal breaks. The thermal envelope currently has a high R-value exceeding code, however it can be further adjusted to have even more insulative capacity. The southern facade of the school features more vulnerable fenestration which is shaded by a combination of balconies and horizontal

wooden slats hung from balconies. The shading devices accommodate for the 45 degree angle of sun at its lowest point in the cooling dominated times of the year in Pittsburgh and lets in the lower sun angles in the winter. This shading system allows for less glare to penetrate and makes the interior public spaces more comfortable for individual reading and learning exploration for students. Furthermore, the balconies serve as extensions of the classrooms to the outdoors and can serve as storage for exterior experiements, broadening the range of spaces available to teachers.

ENFOLD SHELTER 48 PARTNER

GHALYA ALSANEA

“This challenge focuses on natural disasters by looking at the concept and definition of shelter in their immediate aftermath and by posing the question: how can architecture and design help protect, shelter and save lives when they strike? Natural disasters kill thousands of people a year. Typically, the biggest killer isn’t the actual event itself, but the hours following the event. Often, it is the lack of adequate shelter – a basic human need to survive – coupled with the obliteration of infrastructures and services and the lack of provisions, which make the 48 hours post-disaster a critical zone for the victims: a determining factor between survival or death. ‘Shelter 48’ seeks a guardian angel, a protector, and an emergency life-support system to be deployed rapidly after natural disasters strike.”

“This course concerned the detailed development and refinement of architectural design as informed by the meaning, aesthetics and techniques related to the usage of materials and the process of construction. It introduced and examined the fundamentals between design intent and construction materials, the science of materials and their assemblies. After developing the fundamentals of aesthetics and techniques related to the use of materials and the process of construction, opportunities arose for in-depth explorations of these fundamentals of construction through a direct application and synthesis of new knowledge. This course solidified an understanding of the selection, design, preliminary sizing and methodology of construction systems organized by the 16 divisions of construction, as defined by the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) as well as and introduction to the International Building Code (IBC) with special attention given to fire protection, types of construction, and means of egress.”

This project called for the design, documentation, and construction of hoop houses to extend the growing season of raised planting beds located on the roof of the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in downtown Pittsburgh. “Premise 1: In the last 30 years patterns of land use in many post-industrial cities have undergone dramatic transitions as declining population and displaced manufacturing industries have thinned the fabric of the built environment. Premise 2: Urban agriculture has garnered sustained interest and energy as a viable practice to supply residents with fresh produce and reclaim vacant property within communities.

APPROACH

The hoop house was attached to the Our design primarily sought to utilize curvature to planter via a system of anchors connected to the aerodynamically redirect the harsh winter winds of bottom of the structure. This project was designed, Pittsburgh away from the structure. In regards to fabricated, and installed entirely by our team. access and caring for the plants, a folding door

Premise 3: Vernacular architecture has a long history of shaping the identity of the agrarian landscape. Consider the recognizability of a grain silo or red barn punctuating the expansive horizon of a cultivated field. Meanwhile, the physical makeup of urban agriculture—its architectural and infrastructural instantiation(s)—remains relatively undeveloped. Conclusion: Definition of these physical components could be a key element in (re)shaping the emerging condition of the post-industrial city. There is important work to be done in posing architectural questions to the Urban Farm.” CMU School of Architecture

TEAM MEMBERS

MAPPING BLIGHT In collaboration with IDeATe, this project assigned a series of wards to a group to then explore issues of blight on various scales, ultimately aiming to tackle issues of materiality and quantity in regards to condemned buildings. The project also called for the use of Autodesk Recap to

analyze condemned building(s) to then better understand, calculate, and reinterpret potential positive futures for the structures in regards to their materiality, their context, and their neighborhood. My group took ownership of wards 9-16 and decided to hone in on the greatest disparity of wealth, most severe demographic singularity, and most comprehensive

SACO LAKE BATH HOUSE “This studio explores the rich potential of matter to inform architectural thinking and physically instantiate architectural ideas. Relying upon curiosity, critical thinking, and reflection, it considers how materials and systems are constructed and utilized to substantiate design intent. By exploring methods of design that foreground material systems, it addresses questions of architectural performance and human experience. This studio seeks to develop a working methodology engaged in the material reality of architecture. As such, it capitalizes on skills related to conceptual, technical, urban and societal issues to promote a holistic understanding of the design process in which multiple factors are simultaneously in play and interdependent. Through a rigorous process of modeling and prototyping, exploring architecture’s form, material and structure strives for a material gestalt in which the sum is greater than its parts.” CMU School of Architecture

CONTEXT This project was situated in the foresty slopes of Carroll, New Hampshire bordering Saco Lake and an extensive resource of natural greenery and foliage. My project specifically dealt with the use of a courtyard to become a unifying experience to carry visitors through a procession of bathes ranging from a cold bath to a warmer bathes and culminating in a steamy relaxation space looking over the expansive lake and the mountains that frame it. The courtyard is furthermore used as not only a gathering point, but also as the core which extends access and views to all other programmatic spaces and to the site itself. The blend of material be-

tween warmer and natural wood with harsher and harder concrete aims to blend with the landscape throughout the seasonal changes inherent to the context. By situating the building close to the edge of the water, the design splits up the different views, varying by the bath’s positioning. Furthermore, it makes use of the natural beauty of the context, whether water, nature, or even opening up to the outside air. In developing the design, a keystone to the design was embracing the site and putting on display the grace and beauty afforded by nature with a tree as a centerpiece around which the baths and service cores rotate. The design strives to create an experience which relaxes its visitors and celebrates the site’s surroundings.

Using a plethora of research and computational resources, an analysis of the issues such water infrastructure and pollution was explored in order to understand the context of Pittsburgh’s Strip Dis-

trict. Both in regards to resiliance and sustainability, as well as in relation with the ecological forces in play, this information serves as a foundation later used to inform a formal and architectural language that addresses issues with the urban environment. LEGEND

“This studio is founded on a premise that architecture is fundamentally a part of a larger planetary ecology, demanding a focus on the design of architectures for extreme urban environments. Ecology posits that all entities that have thermodynamic relationships with each other are bound together in complex systems of energy and information exchange: ecosystems. This studio focuses on design of architectural forms within specific site ecology while introducing performative considerations such as energy processing and climate responsiveness into the early stages of the design process. It negotiates building forms and their organization within its urban and ecological landscape. By engaging social and environmental patterns, and identifying micro-climatic behaviors within the urban form we move towards the design of architectural interventions that translate across scales to give new shape to the contemporary city. Through the use of both analog and computationally-based design techniques that integrate form-making with environmental simulation, it seeks an individualized architectural language. The studio focuses on understanding the larger ecology of the site, then negotiating and developing their architectural organizations, spatial relationships, and their aggregation at the urban scale between the water infrastructure, local ecologies and a proposed architectural tectonics.”

As a precedent, a thorough study of the Nakagin Capsule Towers in Tokyo, Japan designed by Kisho Kurokawa was performed to better understand the underlying concepts and ideas that resulted in the built structure. The building is an example of Japanese Metabolism which, in concept, strove to propose an ever evolving and reviving building that developed an interesting mounting system with the hope that the residential units, the “capsules”, would be replaced as they deteriorated via a crane system that would enable these processes.

SYNTHESIS These ideas of Metabolism were explored and developed in regards to theorizing a proposal in which the mechanical, industrial, and technological history of Pittsburgh begins to feed into a housing system which tackles similar concepts. This proposal then transitions into an interaction between humans and the natural world that is mediated with the help of technology as the unbiased arbiter. The resulting eco-

system is one that acts in a manner of absolute sustainability and quasi tyrannical harmony where humans that pollute and contaminate their environment experience a decrease in quality of their living conditions and the danger of living within a flood plain is navigated by a constant cycle of building and rebuilding the physical environment that is inhabited by human beings. Although aggressive, the project also asks the question: how can resilience be fair?
