GRÄSANOJA RENEWAL. IMAGINE ENDLESS GROWTH
The Lansiväyla highway intersection is an impediment to the fluency of green infrastructure and connections amongst neighbourhoods located along the Gräsanoja. GRAAS seeks to minimize this disruption by utilizing topography as a binding agent. We believe urban and green infrastructure must be responsive to the increasing population density and its demands. Espoo forecasts a yearly population increase of 1.4% and is taking this increment into account for future land use development. The existing green areas are fragmented not only at the highway intersection but in different areas along the Gräsanoja. GRAAS sees this as an opportunity to create a main recreational attraction for Espoo and visualize this heavy traffic intersection as a “knot” that generates ecosystem services through a new topography that is responsive to the building development of Espoo. GRAAS will be developed in three phases that will utilize the excess excavation material from new construction in the nearby areas to the Gräsanoja.

EARTH WORKS
CONNECTIONS
NOISE & WIND
Construction development nearby the Gräsanoja is proportional to the population increase in Espoo. This will produce excess excavation material that will be used to shape the landscape proposal in periods of 5, 15, and 35 years. No need to import earth material from far away indicates savings in energy, time and cost.
We wish to ensure continuity of walking and cycling paths transversely and longitudinally along the Gräsanoja. Furthermore, we would like to reinforce the continuity of green infrastructure along the Gräsanoja.
By covering the Lansiväyla highway intersection we seek to mitigate the noise produced by fast vehicle traffic. In turn, we also seek to reduce the impact of heavy winds coming from the South-West by shaping higher grounds towards this corner of the site.

TUNNELING NETWORK Traffic flow will continue under landscape. This provides opportunity for further architectural interventions underground.
PHASE I - 2020
Available soil 9’450,000m3 (2’362,500 nearby)
PHASE II - 2030
Available soil 12’600,000m3 (3’150,000 nearby)
PHASE III - 2050
Available soil 31’500,000m3 (7’875,000 nearby)

The first phase will deal with the north-south connection on the East side of the highway. This is done with the intention to provide greater accessibility to the two new metro stations being built within the next few years. In addition, transversal cycling and walking paths will be laid out to strengthen the North-South continuity.
The second phase deals predominantly with the mitigation of noise generated by the traffic flow and speed of vehicles. Hence, at this phase the highway overpass is completely camouflaged with the new topography. GRAAS sees this as an opportunity to generate a stronger identity for the site and to create a main recreational attraction for the growing city of Espoo. The changing topography will harvest the versatility of ecosystem services and transform the existing ditch into a stream that is significant to the nearby residents. The topography comes over the highway and generates two pools. At this point the blue-green infrastructure becomes reminiscent its preceding grey infrastructure.
The intention of the final phase is to maximize the noise & wind mitigation by completely covering the intersection and locating the highest point of the new topographical alterations at the south-west area. Stronger winds coming from this corner will be slowed by the new hill. Finally by this phase the main paths will connect all four quarters around it providing stronger connections for new visitors and residents of the area.

SLOPES
UNOBSTRUCTED, LESS THAN 1:5
Main paths will be alocated along the unobstructed slopes. Ease of the slopes allow for free access by wheels (bicycles, scooters, wheelchairs) or by foot. These paths will clearly define the most important cross connections.
EASY, BETWEEN 1:5 AND 1:8
Easy slopes will be of more recreational nature, Ideal for urban hiking or treking in Espoo. Secondary paths will take advantage of these slighty more pronounced slopes. Paths will remain accesible by wheel or foot.
STEEP, OVER 1:8
Steep slopes have been generated for greater wind mitigation coming from the south west corner of the site and to accomodate the tunneling network underneath the new topography. Furthermore these slopes are meant to increase the variety of recreational activities such as rock climbing or sledge sliding. 8 | GRAAS
PATH NETWORK AND DESIGNATED AREAS The new paths will further facilitate movement from all quarters at the intersection. Variations in topography within the new landscape aims to cater the needs of the varying demographics of Espoo throughout the years.

MASTER PLAN ANALYSIS Widespread detailed analysis at a regional and local level. Local level involved the surroundings of Turunväylä from Kehä I to Huopalahdentie. We focused on demographics, conglomeration effects, traffic flow, and ecosystem services. Our sources to complete this task were mainly from the city of Helsinki (including Helsinki’s Master Plan and Vision 2050). Knowledge regarding the city of Espoo evolved gradually with outside information and resource sharing from peers and tutors.

ENERGY CONSUMPTION FOR
ENVISIONING THE FUTURE
Our proposal gives priority to harnessing ecosystem services in the whole area. We drew a scenario which would make better use of the existing occupied land through densification, increased public transport lines in the area, and paid special attention to the implementation of new ecosystem services. Our new scenario focuses on benefiting the local communities without losing sight of its repercussions at a regional level.

MOBILITY The Turunväylä cuts North-South connections. The removal of the last 5km of the highway will improve green connections and pedestrian accessibility dramatically between this Helsinki-Espoo edge. Implementation of increasing recreational services in Iso Huopalahti area would encourage residents to use new local services and enjoy outdoor activities nearby.

GREEN SPACES Green connections preserved on north and east. Removal of the highway and reduction of the golf course creates new green spaces and compensates the loss of environments in important forest and bird areas. The current Master Plan doesn’t define types of the green areas, so they are open for further planning. Heavy building causes important forest areas to perish. NOISE With the Turunväylä removed and Huopalahdentie covered, none of the new residential buildings in the area are exposed to noise or pollution of heavy traffic.

Improving physical capital requires the efficient use of urban space. In the alternative master plan, we have created a cleaner and healthier city by ensuring greater accessibility to green mode of transportation and enhancing natural capital in providing relevant regulating, provisioning, supporting and cultural ecosystem services. Thus through enhancement of natural capital with green infrastructure, the production of pollution is stemmed, recreational value is enhanced and important habitats are preserved for birds, squirrels and host of other animals that brings life to our urban neighborhood.

CONTEXT (TEAM EFFORT)
Extensive research was conducted by all team members to fully understand the urban fabric of the area at hand. Recreational, communal, residential, and commercial spaces were studied together with the circulation between them. My research was mainly geared towards the investigation of recreational and green spaces. The original intent was to integrate opposing districts found at each edge of the Manzanares River. During the past decade there have been multiple transformations along the river which have transformed much of the vacant wasteland into areas of recreation. These started on the North End and halted around 2011 due to shortage of funds. As a result the south end area was left unattended. The lack of a recreational area for the youth at the South End became more evident as the research expanded. The South End belongs to the neighbourhood of Legazpi. There are many high schools close by, as well as a public library, and a market. Given the existing demographics of the area the proposal involved a place for hiking, a BMX park, and a community centre.

PROPOSAL (INDIVIDUAL EFFORT)
This proposal transforms the existing terrain from a wasteland to a versatile space used by nearby residents. The purpose is to make this area useful for most age groups through the implementation of various different recreational spaces. The materials employed for the fabricated hills would be a basic structural aluminum or steel structure plus debris from undergoing construction projects as infill. Part of the strategy is to use these land formations as a sound absorbing tool that will improve the quality of life for nearby residents. Re-development of the area meets the original intent by creating a stronger interaction between both neighbourhoods at the edges of the Manzanares River while maintaining a low budget.

The corner of Queen & Kent streets belongs to an area that has been gentrified by businesses. The comparison drawn between this site and the other two made it evident that this site was deprived from diversity of facilities due in great part to its monotonous demographics. The tectonics of the proposed mixed-use complex pursue the idea of an emerging force. This is evoked through the movement of a helix. In the search to foster diversity in this area, a mix of unrelated services and facilities is being proposed with the hopes of facilitating the interrelation and communication of opposing demographics found within Ottawa. The proposed park would mix the business, bohemian, street, & hipster cultures with the intention of enriching the quality of living for all of them. By creating these situational occurrences, they could easily gain an understanding of the other cultures and hence begin to develop true acceptance towards each other.

iLUMINA welcomes young families and working professionals, including people who have recently immigrated to Ottawa. Newcomers are usually in need of guidance and iLUMINA offers to provide help with the transition and adapting process. 20 units are to be luxury condominiums, 10 are affordable and 10 are transitional units for individuals and families that are new to the city. The luxury condominiums together with the rentable space make this project financially feasible by offsetting the financial implications of maintaining affordable housing in a downtown location.

Using blues music as inspiration for this rehabilitation project seemed appropriate. The decaying Baptist community needed a way to gain back its life, the infusion of “Blues” was meant to revitalize the existing architecture. The 2100m2 fivestory institute offers: a religious center, museum, restaurant and café, concert hall, hostel, and parking areas for automobiles and bicycles.

The phenomena chosen to explore with this installation is that of the unsuccessful resolution of existing spaces in the NAC as it relates to their appropriateness to human scale together with the rigidity of the hexagonal grid. The hexagons compose a forced grid which ultimately prompts for unfeasible tectonics that result it ambiguous scales that seem unfit for its users. Through the excessive reproduction of an everyday object (i.e.: chair) we wished to communicate our understanding of HEXAGONITIS THE IDEA OF “HEXAGONITIS” IS CONTEXTUALIZED IN JENNINGS BOOK “ART AND POLITICS: THE HISTORY OF THE ART CENTRE”.

Delta is a spherical stage, held aloft the south-west corner of the NAC; that transcends our knowledge and perception of sound. Delta serves as a genesis to the distortion of sound as it is experienced through touch as opposed to hearing. The most important question this space seeks to answer is: How can a symphony be perceived without sound? Touch, vibration, frequency. The NAC needs to embrace its title as a “cultural hub� and begin to propagate new ways to appreciate the arts. Answering to the hearing impaired is merely the genesis of this positively distorted reality. WELCOME TO DELTA BEATS.
