The form of Techstyle Haus is derived from its tensile structure, a type of construction where the membrane is both a structure and enclosure. Stretching from steel rib to rib, the architectural membrane creates a double curvature that corresponds to the line of force, giving its unique form.
The International passivhaus standard is the world’s premier energy standard. Passivhaus practices cut space heating and cooling costs by 90%, which is in turn 50% of the energy demands faced by conventional homes. It’s only after that first half of the energy demand has been attended to through passive tech-
niques that active mechanical schemes are even employed to take care of the inhabitants’ daily needs. We are able to accomplish this by increasing airtightness, lowering primary energy demands, and lowering space heating and cooling demands.
11
Following the double curvature, a layered system of technical textiles encloses the house. Each with its own specific purpose, the layers come together to make an intelligent, innovative system that is lightweight, rapidly deployable,and performs for maximum efficiency.

Techstyle Haus pioneers new construction techniques ensuring economic and ultrafast deployment of materials. Woven ratchet straps create a flexible net to contain insulation attached to the steel frame, simultaneously following the doubly curved enclosure membrane while maintaining an even
distribution between the two layers. This design easily accommodates any configuration of space, and eases the addition and reduction of further insulation in a future with extreme climate predictions. See Fig. 2
The interior walls are made of a knit fabric custom designed by textile and architecture students. Stretching across the house, the surface emulates the French country landscape in an abstracted pattern. This fabric is fire resistant and produced with an advanced industrial flat bed knitting machine.

The house produces 50% more energy than it consumes thanks to its innovative, lightweight, high-efficiency, textile-mounted photo-voltaic system and solar thermal units. Installed on the roof, the doubly curved form of the house specifically tailors the solar cells to match

the angle of the sun, our universe’s greatest energy source. But Techstyle Haus doesn’t require as much electricity as conventional homes in the first place, because the design takes advantage
of environmental conditions to make its inhabitants comfortable rather that relying on mechanical systems. Techstyle Haus achieves this by following the passivhaus standard.

The house itself is an independent system, and its ecology is much like those in nature. With a flexible solar array, textile rain screen, and cisterns, it collects energy from the sun, breathes in fresh air, and recycles rainwater back into its environment to support fruit and vegetable gardens.

By design, techstyle haus invites users to engage with their surroundings. The open floor plan and large windows provide an open atmosphere that merges with the natural environment. Additionally, this plan is suitable for multiple lifestyles. Aside from the compact core for utilities, the house can be adapted and defined by the needs of the user.
Energy control systems allow users to monitor the house’s energy generation and consumption, helping them understand how their actions directly relate to their carbon footprint. The systems in the house are very intelligent, but these control enable user to interact with them easily and efficiently. See Fig. 6

The mechanical core and furniture contain phase change material to combat unwanted temperature shifts. When unwanted heat enters the house, the solid ( or “frozen� ) material absorbs that energy and stores it in liquid form, then releases its stored heat by freezing then the temperature drops.
Sensors embedded throughout the interior record the house’s statistics in real time, accommodating whatever environmental shifts the house cannot manage on its own with considered adjustments to the mechanical systems. With the help of these sensors, the house can tailor its performance to the need of its inhabitants.
This prototype home will house students, artists and designers from all over the world on the grounds of the Domaine de Boisbuchet in lessac, France, educating visitors in both the workshop and the home.

STUDIO DESCRIPTION Project Requirements Connectomics is the production and study of connectomes. A connectome is a comprehensive map of neural connections in the brain. Recent advances in computation and artificial intelligence have propelled this research field and made possible to navigate the structure of the human brain in a way that was unthinkable just a few years ago. Mapping and visualizing the human connectome is still a daunting task, a work in progress: one of the most challenging research endeavors of our time. This studio proposes a research center for the study of the human connectome in the town of Tudela, Spain. A small city of 35,000 in the NE of the Iberian peninsula, Tudela has a dense historic center (casco antiguo) and a rich history that goes back to the Paleolithic. This building responds to a strategy of positioning Tudela as an R&D hub for the region within a network of research centers connected with local universities, public and private partners, and companies. Current research on connectomics is, mostly, computational. This building introduces a programmatic component of a large space to house a working physical model of the human brain or similar didactic exhibition that reflects the most current research in the field at the moment. The nature of this space is that it will be at times open to the public and, in revealing the ongoing groundbreaking scientific work, highly dynamic.

Figure 1 Proposal for new transportation routes
Figure 1-3 Process Sketches
The intent of my thesis is to study the problem of transportation in the downtown and the greater Seattle area. By addressing this issue, I am attempting to visualize a realistic, but not limited, solution to the everyday and any new user. Incorporating sustainability and embracing the Northwest as well as the “street
culture”, what I intend on creating is a central subway system that would also incorporate other methods of inner and outer city transportation like the; monorail, train, metro, and sound transit. The comforts of retail, music, and Internet services would be provided for the public. The social aspect will allow for a cultural

crossroads and give ease for the common traveler. This central “portal” is an addition to the old King Street and Union Stations. This transition of the “Portal”, going from the old to the new will be a visual beacon to the public like a lighthouse to the boats.

INFO MIR Seattle, Washington When Technology Meets Small Spaces
76
Figure 1 Exterior Perspective
Interaction between people is something that has been pertinent in our culture. However, with the technology development in the 21st century, interaction between people, to me, seems to become more and more limited due to things like the I-pod and personalized gaming consuls like play station and x-box. Instead of secluding people in their
comfort zones, I believe that technology should unite and reinstate the concept of community. Therefore my goal in this project is to intensify the social space and networking between people. I have chosen to locate my structure in Westlake Plaza, where interaction is limited and insecure. In thisenvironmentthefocusonthedynamicofsocial
relationships is the primary concern. With this in mind,I have created an environment that puts people on display through transparent pods of activity. These pods have their own identity and focus on certain aspects of human behavior like the interest of Art, news, music, gaming, culture and food. The intention is to allow the outside to view the inside
and become interested in what others are doing and begin to interact with them. The interaction does not go only to the local level. These stations are to be located in major cities all over the world. Thus allowing the people to communicate by the means of Art or news world wide, networking between other countries.
