Project Team: Artemis Maneka Ziad Araf

The harsh weather conditions of Mars, as well as the need for building with local materials, inspires an intervention that uses the existing topography as a source of protection and structural support.

The project consist of a structure that inflates and deflates depending on the external conditions. On the first occupation mission, automated robots would reach the Red Planet in Olympus Monds. They use lasers to scan the surface of the mountains and locate caves that are suitable for human occupation. Caves are connected to generate a colony with a series of spaces of different scales. When human occupation starts, external inflatable structures are used as additional public and infrastructural spaces.

The facade of the inflatable is dynamic, and allows different lighting conditions and structural protection depending on its configuration. The exterior is in constant change in order to generate different sizes of spaces for diverse uses or to transport heat and water to different sections of the colony.

With time, the colony will expand up the mountain with new connections inside and outside the topography.

Project Team: Annika Brandt Xian Yang Wu

Kiruna is moving its city centre, as a consequence of the deterioration of the ground due to the iron ore mining activity in the area. This provides an opportunity to rethink and strengthen Kiruna’s identity, and to generate new programmes that will serve its current and future inhabitants.

The project focuses on the development of the area located between the existing city and New Kiruna. The aim is to strengthen the connection between the existing and the new urban areas and create a gradual transition for the move of the city. This is achieved through three comprehensive systems which SYSTEMS connect the built and natural environments at different levels.

The first system consists of three different nodes located in New Kiruna: a commercial centre, a space research centre with a campus and a Lapland cultural centre. The second “green system” consists of the loop, a continuous vegetated path that creates an alternative movement along the urban and natural environment. The third “built system” with the concept of a naturefront wall is where density is concentrated along the forest edges and is reduced towards the centre of the blocks.

Enköping Västerås

Individual Project Eskilstuna

The train tracks in Eskilstuna have created a barrier in the city centre: most services, jobs and leisure activities are located in the northern side, leaving the southern side disconnected. There is a need to create a clearer connection between the two sides and to support the mobility infrastructure for the future growth of the city.

Stockholm Strängnäs

Södertalje

With this project, both concerns are adressed, by creating an infrastructure that can make accessing different forms of transportation easier, while at the same time connecting the southern part of the city (Nyfors) to a bus station and the waterfront by bridging over the train tracks.

The project is a pedestrian bridge that extends from an existing pedestrian corridor and crosses through a mountain, over the tracks and down to a new bus station and the waterfront. The mountain area is activated with the construction of new housing units, to increase flow and value in the area, but at the same time left mostly natural to keep the element of green in the neighbourhood.

The bridge becomes the roof of a new bus station waiting and commercial area and the square is redesigned to provide space for new activities.

The metropolitan area of Mexico City has always been in constant expansion, and in the last years, the population growth and the increasing demand for infrastructure, space and food sources, has generated problems in different systems. The research focuses on the dynamic relations between water and urbanization. The aim is to understand how the rapid urbanization of the metropolitan area has had important consequences in the water system.

Mexico City was built on top of a lake, that formed on the lowest point of a watershed.

In order to meet the spatial demand of a growing metropolis, the lake was dried up to become farming and urban land. Now, the constant pumping out water from the ground has generated the subsidence of the city, which along with the inability for water to be filtered back into the earth, generates problematic floods especially in vulnerable areas of informal settlements. The research and urban strategy proposal focuses on Valle de Chalco, an area affected by floods and high marginalization.

NATURAL WATER FLOW AND AREAS WITH FLOOD RISK

Valle de Chalco is an area with high food risk and a sinking rate of 35 cm/year.

MARGINALIZED AREAS AND URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE

Valle de Chalco is a marginalized informal town, with no connection to main roads or transport systems.

Current Conditions: Valle de Chalco 1 Underground Water Extraction 2 No Rainwater Filtration 3 Open Air Sewage Canal 4 Lake Water Overflow Causes Floods The Municipality of Valle de Chalco in Mexico State, is affected by several social and environmental problems. Built completely over an area that used to be part of the original Mexico City lake, it presents yearly floodings that affect all the population.

Architecture is generally self-built houses with cheap materials, which cannot endure the hard environmental conditions they are affected with.

Valle de Chalco is also more than 40km away from the city centre, with only informal public transportation connecting it and with a very limited job offering.

Hidrological Conflicts

Wells that Feed Subterranean Water

Water Negotiations: Valle de Chalco 1 Underground Water Extraction 2 No Rainwater Filtration 3 Open Air Sewage Canal 4 Lake Water Overflow Causes Floods In the project, we aim to use water as an ally in generating diversity of public space and as a source of economic growth, instead of it being the cause of floods. We generate a system where the overflowing water from the lake, enters a filtration system of wetlands, that generate a dike along the border of the urban area. If the water is still an excess, it will flow into the city through canals.

Rain water is collected in open spaces that when dry function as public space but when full, work as infiltration wells.

The lake itself is re-purposed for agriculture and a new programme of industry and markets is proposed in the area to support local economy.

Hidrological Conflicts

Al existir un desnivel de 2m entre la ciudad y el lago, se genera un borde duro, con el fin de evitar problemas de inundación.

Se bloquea totalmente la relación con el paisaje y no permite una conexión con el agua del sitio.

Modificación del Borde

Current border condition: Barrier between urban and lake areas

Se generan diferentes quiebres en el borde de la ciudad con el lago, abriendo unos espacios hacia la traza y otros hacia el lago.

Así, se busca lograr una relación más directa con el paisaje y generar áreas abiertas que puedan responder a diferentes programas.

Transición con Topografía

Open waterfront spaces connecting the urban and lake areas

Se lleva a cabo la transición del nivel del lago a nivel ciudad a través de una serie de plazas escalonadas, que además de generar espacios abiertos a distintas alturas, generan contenciones que guían el camino del agua hasta llegar a canales que penetran en el tejido urbano.

After researching the conditions and needs for Valle de Chalco, the team proposed a Food Market, as an element that would link the presence of agriculture and informal commercial activity in the area with the need for public spaces along the waterfront for the inhabitants of the city.

The project is generated by the repetition of one module along certain axis, which direct and block the water entering from the lake into the canals. The open space between the two wings of the market consists of a series of floodable squares that can have different uses depending on the weather conditions. On the southern side there is a small embankment for tourism and leisure boats and on the west side a storage and distribution centre.

Structurally, the market works as a big umbrella. A green, water catching roof is supported by a central hollow concrete column which contains services and vertical circulations, leaving the lower slabs completely free for market and restaurant spaces. Façades are left open because of the favourable weather conditions and to allow views into the lake and the city

Project Team: Donia Jornod Marie Page

Project Proposal The informal settlement in Kayelitsha, South Africa is an over-densified area that has grown out of need without any formal planning. The project aims to help solve the need of basic infrastructure and propose a new urban growth plan that focuses on densifying vertically and generating open public space.

Through a collaborating system between the government and the community, we create a system where the community develops around an infrastructure core. The infrastructure walls are placed first between the old structures, which are progressively replaced by the new housing units according to the needs and possibilities of the population.

ELEGANT MONOTONOUS SHOPPING

Individual Project Project Proposal The Cape Town Waterfront, accommodates different programmes, mostly dedicated to leisure. Even with its great diversity in the area it covers, there are some parts of the Waterfront that are not interconnected with each other.

The “Waterfront Bridge” attempts to literally close the gap and generate a continuous circulation around the main commercial area. It not only works as a crossing point, but also provides an open and flexible structure to be occupied depending on the needs of the city. The project aims to add an extra possibility of use to the waterfront, to increase the variety of activities that take place in it and to provide the residents and visitors of Cape Town a new point of view of its landscape and city life.

The project takes Bernard Tschumi’s Manhattan Transcripts as reference, where architectural elements are related to experiences and images.

The site analysis project image (in this page) show the different experiences taking place in the waterfront through image-memory relations and presents the project as an element that creates a new series of this experiences.

Project Team: Estefanía Anaya Camila Ocejo Project Proposal After an extensive analysis of Haiti’s urban conditions and the local construction techniques and materials, a project for a local private organization’s headquarters was developed. The programme consisted of spaces for the organization’s staff (reception and offices), for the Haitian community (plazas, multiple-use space and auditorium) and for volunteers (dining space and rooms.)

The project consists of solid cores, built with concrete blocks that contain the main services for each part of the programme such as storage space, kitchen and bathrooms.

The rest of the structure is a completely flexible modulated wooden structure. With this system, the buildings can be constructed at different stages, according to the economic possibilities and spatial needs of the organization.
