KINETIC OASIS |TRANSIT HUB AS THEME PARK
FINAL ANALOG
Kinetic Oasis reimagines the traditional transit hub as an amusement park where the “rides” take you to your destination. Inspired from EPCOT by Walt Disney, our research showed that his vision was also to use amusement parks as testing grounds for new transportation and city planning ideas, and our project aims to implement this concept in Red Hook. The new tranportation we are introducing are Metrino cable cars, BQX bus connection, ferry connection, and personal vehicle charging stations for electric bikes, scooters, skateboards etc. This is all situated in a theme park setting to truly celebrate the advancements in transportation

The hub is separated into two main lobes as shown by the program diagram above. The larger lobe starts as a terminal for the ferries and BQX, then transitions in a vertical street market that brings you to the launching pad. The smaller lobe is a charging station for personal devices with sprialing paths for bikes.

FACADE
The facade for the charging station consists of solar panels and perforated metal panels arranged to capture as much energy as possible. The unrolled facade shows how the solar panel placement corresponds to sun studies of where there is the most and least amount of sunlight on the facade. The details of the right show how the panels are operable to capture more light, and the section below shows the atrium that collects energy and disperses it to charging

KITE REFLECTOR | GROUP PAVILLION PROJECT
ARCHITECTURE 501 | DECEMBER 2016 |INSTRUCTOR: EDUARDO REGA
Through photographic documentation of the site, we observed different light effects such as reflaction on surfaces like glass and water, dappling of light through trees, and camouflage. We seeked to imitate these same effects in Kite Reflector to establish a unique experience for the user as he/she walks around it
Kite Reflector is designed to delicately interact with the environment of Manitoga, resting lightly on the ground while taking on the color and movement of the natural landscape though its collage of reflective sails. The Pavilion consists of a self-supported tensile skeleton inspired by the construction of traditional kites, with a system of carefully positioned reflective fabric screens posed within the frame, producing angles of reflection allowing the pavilion to take on the color palate of Manitoga year around. The curvature of the structural units evolved out of our study of Russel Wright’s houseware collections. The form and structure of Wright’s pieces are intimately intertwined while the function becomes a process of interaction with a user, Kite Reflector is organized with a similar logic while responding to a larger footprint. While the configuration of the pavilion remains the same the visual experience is constantly changing

Each module of Kite Reflector can be made with a kit of parts. After extensive material tests and form iterations, we decided to use acetron rods for its ability to be both flexible and strong enough to support weight. The rods are then taped together and placed inside 3D printed joints for extra security. Each 3D joint contains hooks for the mylar, space blanket, and reflective mylar sheets to attach onto. Thus, each module consists of rods, joints, and surfaces that can be assembled together with no extra materials
The way these parts create our module, our modules then become the kit of parts to create our pavilion. Using 3 different sized modules, we created different iterations of how they could combine together by keeping certain sides of one module consistent with another. We then developed a 3D printed connector that could lock into the joints of each module and connect them in 30, 60, and 120 degree angles. We were able to quickly combine many modules using this method, and complete the final design of our pavilion

'KAKEJIKU' - HANGING SCROLL
The concept of "A Forest" comes from taking advantage of the properties of engineered wood veneer to create a flowing frame around the Valextra purses. Kakejiku is the Japanese word for hanging scroll, and displaying purses on wooden “scrolls” is a way of conveying their value.
