PARTICULATE STRIP KEVIN
HIRTH
034-0903
JUST AS PARTICULATE MATTER CAN BE DISPERSED AND AGGREGATED THROUGH NATURAL PROCESS, THE URBAN FABRIC OF OUR TIME IS IN A CONSTANT STATE OF NEGOTIATION ON THE MICRO-ORGANIZATIONAL LEVEL. THE PROPOSITION OF AN OVERARCHING ARMATURE FOR URBAN GROWTH THROUGH THE INTRODUCTION OF FINITE ELEMENTS IS ESTABLISHED TO ALLOW FOR BOTH REVELATORY VARIATION AND ADHERENCE TO A LARGER INFRASTRUCTURE
THE CUMULATIVE AGGREGATION OF URBAN BLOCKS IS UNRAVELED ONTO THE SPECIFIC LIMITS OF THE SITE TO FORM A STRIP. NESTED WITHIN THIS STRIP A NUMBE OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE DOMAINS ARE ARTICULATED. THE SUM OF THE THREE COMPLETE BLOCKS ARE BLENDED INTO A SINGLE MIX STRADDLING THROUGH-STREETS AND UNIFIYING THE POROUS BLOCK AS A VARIED BUT COMPLETE MASS

A SINGLE UPPER FLOOR PLAN CUT SHOWS THE POROSITY OF THE OVERALL BLOCK WIHTIN A SINGLE STRATA. AS UNITS ARE ACCRETED UPON ONE ANOTHER, THE WHOLE PACKS IN WITH INCREASING DENSITY. NESTED WITHIN ORCHESTRATED BREAKS IN THE BLOCK ARE A NUMBER OF LARGER SCALE OPEN SPACES THAT ARE INTENDED TO TAKE ON OUTDOOR ADDITIONAL PROGRAM SUCH AS SPORTING FACILITIES, PUBLIC SQUARES, PARK SPACES, AND MARKET SPACES. THESE LANDSCAPE PROGRAMS ARE IN TURN COMBINED RELATIVE TO GREYWATER TREATMENT WITHIN THE HOUSING BLOCK IN ORDER TO PROCESS ANY USED NON-TOXIC WATER FOR USE IN SITE SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS.

PLAN DETAIL: LANDSCAPE COMMON
ON THE LEVEL OF THE LANDSCAPE COMMON THE PROGRAMMING AND DISPERSION OF THE GROUND PLANE REVEALS A DEEPER TISSUE WITHIN THE PROJECT. THE MOUNDS SHOWN TO THE SIDE BOTH SERVE AS REMEDIATIVE ELEMENTS ECOLOGICALLY, AS WELL AS BERMING ELEMENTS TO SUPPORT WATER COLLECTION AND FILTRATION ON SITE. ALSO VISIBLE ON THE SITE PLAN IS THE ARTICULATION OF SEVERAL OF THE STRUCTURAL AND CIRCULATORY SYSTEMS. THE CORES TOUCHING THE GROUND PLANE CARRY AMENITIES FOR RESIDENTS ABOVE AS WELL AS ELEVATOR AND STAIR OPENINGS. EACH CORE IS INTENDED TO SERVE A REASONABLE LOW NUMBER OF RESIDENTS IN ORDER TO AVOID OVERADJACENCY
