CLIMATE HAVEN: DETROIT

A Projective Approach to Climate Change Fall 2021

Cities, particularly along the coast of America, have been growing at a rapid pace throughout history. Places like New York City, LA, and Houston take in hundreds of thousands of migrants every year; they become integrated into the life force that sustains these cities. The migration towards these megacities is the result of the poor economic conditions and lack of employment opportunities, all too typical across America. However, rather than addressing the losing situation that is the degradation of the rest of the country, architects, politicians, and planners remain fixated on remedying the needs of expanding cities. While the importance of these cities cannot be underestimated as they are essential to the current American economy, the lack of attention given to the American heartland has led to a polarity in the quality of cities outside of the limelight. However, the Midwest is extremely relevant to America, especially when planning for the future. American megacities are flawed; their geographical locations make them extremely vulnerable to climate change. Warmer summers and drier conditions along the west coast have led to an increase of 800% in high-severity wildfires since 1985. Cities along the West coast are also at threat of being affected by earthquakes. Meanwhile, on the East coast, as the annual sea levels rise, flooding is becoming increasingly common. New York’s sea level, for example, increases by an inch every 7-8 years. Additionally, hurricanes have cost cities along the East Coast $138 billion dollars in damage in just 2018 and 2019 alone. The density of these cities has also made them extremely vulnerable to issues such as pandemics, as has been demonstrated with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, with 40% of the United States being susceptible to desertification, the majority of which is located around the breadbasket, the country is set to lose a lot of fertile land. With the current infrastructure not being capable of handling these massive implications, at what point is the investment no longer worth the returns?

US Climate Data Comparing the Coast to the Midwest A Projective Approach to Climate Change

It is estimated that by 2100, as many as 13.1 million Americans will be at risk of losing their homes as a result of climate change, potentially resulting in a population upheaval similar to the Great Migration of the 20th century. Midwestern post-industrial Rust Belt cities are the least susceptible to climate change because of their geographical distance from the coast, their elevation hundreds of feet above sea level, and their proximity to the Great Lakes, the largest source of freshwater in the world. Furthermore, the large amount of existing infrastructure and vacancy has come to define these cities could be adapted and reimagined for incoming climate refugees. Therefore, the post-industrial Rust belt city could become a potential safe, climate haven for the future of the United States.

Hurricane Data Drawn in C

The issue is that these cities are widely dilapidated; they have some of the lowest household incomes and the highest emigration rates in the country. The failure of the city has to do directly with the failure of the infrastructure to serve the city. The infrastructures of these cities were built for the use of millions of people; however, urban planners didn’t predict the mass exodus of hundreds of thousands of majorly white families toward suburbia during the 50s and 60s. The loss of tax revenue directly affected their productivity and economy because they didn’t have the funds to maintain their infrastructure. Additionally, their infrastructure was planned in correlation with the redlining of American cities. As such, minorities who were already disproportionately segregated, saw their communities get seized by the government and torn apart for highways.

Diagnosing Detroit: Infratstructural Degradation Climate Haven // Detroit, Michigan

We looked to Detroit to understand the typical Post-Industrial city. Quickly, we identified that its decline correlated with the building of highways. This is because the highways facilitated the emigration of middle class families out of Detroit. Additionally, these highways were planned over redlined communities; Corporations like the Federal Home Loan Bank Board (FHLBB) and the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation (HOLC) redlined communities that were deemed hazardous. Communities that fell under this category were denied access to financial services such as banking or insurance, services such as health care and even access to supermarkets. As such minority communities have been torn apart. The loss of strong communities like the Black Bottom neighborhood and Paradise Valley has led to a disinvestment within minority populations. After the white flight, the city was left in the hands of the communities that have that endured the most discrimination. This has led to poor education, low income, a lack of access to fresh foods, and a lack of access to public facilities like hospitals, among many other issues within the city.

RINGWORM: ABSTRACTED LANDSCAPES Revitalizing Syracuse Spring 2019

Type: Urban Planning / Urban Design Location: Syracuse, New York Category: Academic Work Instructor: Mitesh Dixit Role: Collaborative Work with Woobin An 14.

The population of Syracuse has been declining since the 1950, and many of buildings are in a state of decay or have been demolished. Through the research, we found 27 percent of Syracuse infrastructure is vacant property, which was extraordinarily high, especially compared to cities like New York City. Through this project, our goal was originally to urbanize Onondaga County by reducing the vacancy of Syracuse in order to revitalize the city. We located the most densely populated portion of Onondaga County, its ring road condition, and “densified” it by pushing the surrounding building envelope into the ring road condition. The project was done in collaboration with Woobin An. 15.

Rewilding Syracuse

Rewilding // Syracuse, New York In this project, my partner and I looked at the city of Syracuse as a whole and identified that its decay was directly associated with the declining population. Therefore, we looked to repopulate the city. Rather than expand upon the site to attempt to increase density, we chose to reduce the land available for existing buildings. This was done by moving and compressing Onondaga’s infrastructure into a ring condition created by existing major roads; density through subtraction.

Initial Ring Condition Proposal Drawn in Collaboration with Woobin An

16.

We proposed a supercity created along a ring with the interior consisting of agriculture and a power supply; the ring as a cell. By moving the built environment inward, the land that was left over would be given back to nature in a process known as rewilding. Looking at the ring condition, an urban fabric where people couldboth inhabit and work in was created. Furthermore, by moving everybody into this ring condition, the density increased from 580 people per square mile to 37,500 people per square mile.

17.

The Future of the Ringworm Ringworm // Syracuse, New York

Though we were able to solve the issue of urbanity and density by shoving the population into the ring, this approach to a new city wasn’t enough and didn’t capture a landscape as provocation. In the end, we decided that the Ring Worm had to become its own life form that then slowly drained the Earth’s resources. To correspond to the demands of the Ring Worm, we projected our scenario 100 years into the future and reimagined Syracuse, not as the dying college town but as the final hope for humanity in some post apocalyptic scenario. In order for the Ringworm to sustain itself it needed to have some way of gathering resources. We designed the Ringworm by section, with each section having a different function. The Ringworm would use its limb-like members to absorb air, collect energy, and extract minerals, water, and food. These members pass through the porous shell and into the tubes inhabited by the last remaining humans on the earth.

BORGO DIGITALE Schoolhouse Collective Spring 2020

As the world shifts from a human-centric environment to a technological one, we begin to question what it means to be a human. Human and technology have a symbiotic relationship which creates a codependency with us using technology to remain connected and technology needing us to have a purpose. We must be re-educated on what it means to be “human”. Technology will teach us morals and values that will call for equity. The roles of technology and humans are reversed so that technology programs the human consciousness. With an automated society the role of the human is not clear. Our function no longer is to survive, but to live with one another in this shared economy. For this to become commonplace we must nurture the concept of togetherness from a young age. Through new tools of virtual learning and shared spaces we can restructure our society. Because the focus of the world has shifted from humans to technology, our interpretation of what it means to be human is extrapolated through the interactions that humans have with technology and the interactions that technology have with humans. The cooperation involved in processes of categorization and reorganization inform artificial intelligence about inherent human biases which are then extrapolated and reimposed in an attempt to mimic and create new vectors of communicating what it means to be human, completely informed by a machine learned aesthetic.

The IoT: AI Generated Images

Borgo Digitale // Castiglione d’Orcia, Italy In the first exercise, we constructed an object to be expressive of the various tensions and shifts that come with implementing a 5G network to connect all infrastructures through the IoT. The wire in the object holds together all of the components that are needed to support this network, becoming a piece of infrastructure in itself. While the wire provides structural support for the components, the partially transparent fabric wrapper helps to define various spaces within the object and unify the piece. The zones of uncertainty created by the negative space formed around the fabric wrapper led us to develop a composition in our still life in which blocks are carved by photogrammetry scanned 3D models to create sculptural reliefs that hint at digitallly understood, distorted versions of objects.

AI Generated Hybrid Images Used for Texture Mapping Borgo Digitale // Castiglione d’Orcia, Italy

Through these preliminary studies that we conducted, we discovered the formal qualities of a negative surface that has been carved away by digital interpretations. Utilizing artificial intelligence, we began to explore machine interpretations of images by allowing for the machine to hybridize images we provided.

25.

Approach to Castiglione d’Orcia

Borgo Digitale // Castiglione d’Orcia, Italy From these AI generated series of studies, we devised two zones for our schoolhouse. These two zones, a technology exclusion zone and a technology inclusion zone, appear unstable when juxtaposed next to one another. Within the technology inclusion zones is a program focused on the cycle of categorization and reinterpretation of images and knowledge. This is in an attempt to algorithmically understand the human biases. On the contrary the technology exclusion zones promote a program of human interaction and coexistence where students will have to negotiate with one another rather than with an algorithm.

The Algorithmic Interpretation Video Rooms

Technology Inclusion vs. Exclusion Zones // Castiglione d’Orcia, Italy While we want to explore the interactions that humans have with technology, it is important for us to also promote human to human interactions while learning what it means to be human. In this view we see two distinct materialities at play with one another that create various tensions within our project. In this fragment we see a digital image processing station and a video room included in the technology inclusion zones and a lounge space that belongs to the technology exclusion zones. The video room promotes interpretation of algorithmically produced series of videos from the students.

The Categorization Pods and AI Gallery

Technology Inclusion vs. Exclusion Zones // Castiglione d’Orcia, Italy The categorization pods are spaces where students categorize a series of images in an interaction similar to recaptcha human verification services. Through the continued categorization of images, human biases are recorded. The series of salmon colored vertical cubicles along the wall reference the San Cataldo Cemetery and gives the space a technically constructed quality that is separate from the rough exterior materials. The video room is where algorithmically produced videos are reinterpreted by students. This room is mirrored in upper floors through the porous gallery and lounge space above, where the square punctures are repeated at a different scale.

Between Life and Death Fall 2019

This project, done in the fall of 2019, was conducted in three phases. The first phase focused on the procession and ritual from living to the dead through the study of the Day of the Dead festival, popularly celibrated in Spanish and Mexican cultures. The second phase involved investigating the San Cataldo Cemetery, it’s language, intended symbology, and figural significance. Taking from these precedents, we were tasked with designing a hospice in Washington D.C. Through this exercise, I heavily investigated the plan, the relationship between differing levels of scale in plan, and the figure and ground conditions that are carved out through different interpretations of poché. I was also inspired to analyze the philosophy of Tolstoy, interpreting his world views and seeing how it may affect my understanding of the relationship between life and death.

Día de Los Muertos: The Day of the Dead Between Life and Death // Washington D.C.

The culture of death and dying is a lot different in Mexico. Whereas we consider death to be a tragic end to life, in Mexico, death is considered to be the reality to the dream that is our life. Therefore, on the Day of the Dead when the souls of the dead come back to the mortal playground that we occupy to visit their loved ones, there is a convergence of the dead and the living.

35.

The San Cataldo Cemetery: An Analysis Between Life and Death // Washington D.C.

The San Cataldo Cemetery Aldo Rossi’s San Cataldo Cemetery initially called L’azzurro Del Cielo, named after George Bataille’s Le Bleu Du Ciel which translates to The Blue of the Sky. Though the title suggests some sort of importance regarding a relationship with the sky, the book actually ends with the main character walking in a cemetery. There is a candle light for each skeleton in each grave, buried under the chasm of the funerary stars. This is an analogy to the procession that Aldo Rossi is creating in his cemetery, moving from the sanctuary to the ossuary before descending into final burial place. Aldo Rossi is creating a monument for the dead. We are all fragile in life. However, when we die , we join the millions of others. Upon death, all inequalities are erased and we become one with the earth, sky, christ, and ourselves.

The Procession Towards Death: Approach Between Life and Death // Washington D.C.

In Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich, Ivan Ilyich, on his death bed, was upset that he had been chosen to die. He was confused because of all the people on the earth, why had God selected him to die? He had always lived an honest life; he had a wife, kids, and a high position within government, so why had he been chosen for such a fate? His looming death haunted his dreams; he felt trapped, unable to break free.

Study Models Exploring the Procession Towards Death

The Deathroom Axonometric

The Deathroom Plan and Section

When Ivan reflected about his life in more detail he realized that everything he achieved was given to him. His wife, job, and home were all material desires that he inherited from a higher authority. Only upon understanding that everything in his life was artificial, he felt relief. In this release, he saw light, felt true ecstacy, and died; at that moment of death, he experienced true autonomy.

Figure and Ground within the Plans and Sections of the Hospice Between Life and Death // Washington D.C.

What is perceived to be “autonomy” is limited by the scale in which we think of autonomy whether it be liberty within the boundaries of science, morality, or law. Autonomy is exercised only in terms of the scale in which it is interpreted. True autonomy, however, is not achieved until death. It is only in that moment when autonomy is understood in its most uncontaminated sense. Otherwise, humanity is controlled by surreptitious systems that vary in scale.

41.

Projecting the Hospice: An Analysis Between Life and Death // Washington D.C.

The hospice splits into two angles; one portion is aligned with the White House, while the other portion is aligned with the geometry of the site. This creates a “cross” condition mimicking the arrangement to the capital. Furthermore, by connecting a datum line from the white house to the hospice, another grand level of scale is created.

RE:HAVEN

Revitalizing Mott Haven Spring 2020 Type: Housing/Mixed Use Location: New York City, New York Category: Academic Work Instructor: Angela Co Role: Collaborative Work with Dara Jin

RE:Haven, a project done in collaboration with our New York Study Abroad Studio and a Real Estate class, was an integrated studio that required a comprehensive understanding of architecture and real estate. We were tasked with developing a project that could take on the systemic issues in Mott Haven, follows New York zoning guidelines, and be economically viable. The duality of interests raised by the, at times, conflicting roles of the architect and developer presented an interesting challenge for us. because the altruistic (and albeit slightly narcissistic) purpose that architects often envision themselves having is often limited by the pragmatic, monetarily driven field that is Real Estate. 45.

Understanding Mott Haven: Analysis of Mott Haven Demographics RE:Haven // Mott Haven, New York

In Mott Haven, there is a 42% poverty rate, the median household income is only 25,489 dollars and only 59% of the population has a high school diploma. In fact, Mott Haven has the lowest income and education rates while having the highest and obesity rates and exposure to pollution in the state of New York. These issues are only amplified by the high crime rate in Mott Haven. These issues, propogated by underlying institutional racism, have only pushed the wealth gap further apart.

While it cannot be resolved in a single apartment design, architecture can act as the catalyst for change to begin to occur. Through research on alternative approaches to living such as communal housing, as well as modular housing units to make the price of living more affordable, my partner and I began imagining an affordable apartment complex that could act as a pivotal turning point for the revitalization Mott Haven. 46.

Designing for Mott Haven: A Community Oriented Approach RE:Haven // Mott Haven, New York

RE:Haven sets out to create a lot more open space, develop a new community hub, bring in more green space, address systemic problems by creating a safer and more welcoming community, repurpose spaces without dislocating previous tenants, and provide amenities that are easily accessible and helpful to the community.

Mott Haven Floor Plans

RE:Haven // Mott Haven, New York 40% of the apartments were allocated to supportive housing. As for the designation of program, the first floor was designated for the aforementioned public programs, the second through fourth floors were a mix of commercial program and residential units, and the fifth through fourteenth floor were designated for residential units. Furthermore, each unit was designed with maximum efficiency in mind.

Typical and Corner Studio Unit

Typical and Corner Two Bedroom Unit

Typical and Corner Three Bedroom Unit

Typical and Corner Four Bedroom Unit 49.

The Communal / Void Spaces RE:Haven // Mott Haven, New York

Within each floor we designed void spaces in between apartments; these spaces ranged from 10 feet by 24 feet to 20 feet by 24 feet. These shared spaces were meant to have a flexible and adaptable program, fitted to the requirements and desires of the community.

Communal / Void Space Program Examples

Our void spaces would give the residents autonomy and the opportunity to decide what their community needs within a neighborhood where the government municipality has routinely neglected its residents. Possible programs are a communal kitchen, reading room, playroom, and classroom. Ultimately, we wanted to give the community a voice while improving the community aspects of apartment living. 50.

ENSEMBLE THEATRE Renegotiating the Theatre Spring 2021

Competition: King + King Competition Finalist Type: Performance Center Location: Auburn, New York Category: Academic Work Instructor: Terrence Goode Role: Collaborative Work with Alexander Michel 52.

The Ensemble Theatre is a multi-venue performance center located in the heart of Auburn, New York. The ethos of the project is to create an architecture that represents the composite nature of the theatre. Whether it be the many stories a theatre house contains or the many individuals who make up an individual show, the theatre is about a collection of individuals forming a cohesive, yet multivalent whole. The Ensemble Theatre expresses this heterogeneity through the architectural expression of programmatic relationships. 53.

Designing the Ensemble Theatre

The Crown of the City // Auburn, New York The 338-seat main theatre house is designed as the hearth of the project. In both plan and section, it sits within the center of the project. Supplementary program wraps the theatre volume, encasing it within a solid perimeter. On the exterior, the wrapping is expressed through a metal-fin system that shrouds the materiality of the theatre volume. From afar, the theatre volume rises from its encasing to crown the project.

The Program Behind the Ensemble Theatre Connecting Back to Auburn // Auburn, New York

On the street level, the project is adjacent to Genesee Street -- one of the main streets of Auburn -- and the Exchange Street Mall -- a small public walkway connecting Genesee Street with Lincoln Street. At the corner of the project, below the theatre lobby, is a glass facade leading into the lower lobby. This facade has entrances facing both adjacent streets, and dissolves the boundary between interior and exterior through its transparency. On the interior, this lobby space connects to a cafe, book and gift shop, and circulation to both upper and lower programs. Further along the Exchange Street Mall, the facade is interrupted by an excavated space that serves as a public outdoor amphitheatre.

56.

The amphitheatre formally engages with the Mall, gesturally reaching out into the space. The amphitheatre operates as an outdoor performance space, and while not in use, provides a location for public gathering along the Mall. The lowest level of the amphitheatre leads into the below ground floor of the project -- containing an 84-seat multi-use auditorium, back of house spaces for service, and the mechanical and electrical equipment rooms. The auditorium is the only public program below ground, entered through a staircase in the main lobby. The auditorium is backed by a large lightwell that extends up against the existing adjacent building throughout the entirety of the project. On floors above, this lightwell is exposed through a floor-to-ceiling glass wall.

57.

Designing the Ensemble Theatre Exterior Conditions // Auburn, New York

During the day the front volume has a soft, translucent surface; at night the volume lights up from within, projecting the the interior onto the facade and acting as a beacon to downtown Auburn. The amphitheatre connects the theatre to the rest of the public, activating the street. By bringing people to the street, the maill is also activated.

MULTIPLICITY

Sky Scripters and Ground Scorers Fall 2021

Type: Drawing/Graphic Design Category: Workshop Instructor: Perry Kulper Role: Collaborative Work with Madeleine Best and Oswal Perez 60.

Multiplicity is the combination of three separate minds, interested in three different interests, clashing and simultaneously coalescing together in a singular composition. I was interested in capturing the temporality of time and motion, Madeleine was interested in the relationship between machine and nature, and Oswal was interested in the neocolonial roots of the banana. We focused on different themes with the interest of finding a representation that could capture all three perspectives. Our first image, what we call the tamed world, is framed like a museum exhibit with each of our respective scenes calculated and contained within their imaginary boundaries. Then when slight erasures are applied to the composition, the individual worlds are unshackled, pushing, pulling, adding, and subtracting from each other to create our second image, the dynamic world. In this state, there, however, still a measured chaos as color theory and composition organization that is left intact. As such, the individual perspectives of each image are deciperable. 61.
