WARP Hyperloop Transportation Hub

chicago, usa academic, 4th year individual spring 2017

WARP

Warp is a multi-use hub that makes Chicago a revolutionary city in the future of transportation and a major hub for the Great Lakes Mega-region, which is backed by research I did for Badgerloop, an award winning student team working on hyperloop pod designs.

Hyperloop is a new form of transportation that is being developed. It’s similar to a train in it’s point to point connection and utilizes a rail and vacuumed tube. It’s projected to reach speeds up to 800mph(1,290kmh), and possibly up to 4,000mph(6,440kmh) as the technology matures.

Above right is the number of round trips a single plane, train, and hyperloop pod can make in a day, based on a 90 mile trip. The number of vehicles in each system varies. Planes are limited by the size of airports and number of dedicated routes, trains are limited by number of rails, hyperloop is only limited by the length of the tube. A hyperloop, with perfect efficiency, could send a pod out every 2 minutes. This means up to 7 pods could be traveling in a 90 mile tube at once. This allows for more personalized departure times for busy schedules.

Many aspects of hyperloop have yet to be figured out. Some portions have only All graphics by: Brook Boughton

been designed by engineers.

I wanted to approach the design of some of these objects, such as the structure holding the tubes from an architectural viewpoint.

Although the WARP utilizes an underground hyperloop, portions of it’s connections, such as over low density areas such as farmland, would be significantly cheaper and easier to maintain above ground. My design utilizes a modular precast prestreesed concrete honeycomb design, allowing for a cheap, strong, and easy to build structure. This structure also uses significantly less concrete than the forms being proposed to date. In the rest of my study I went into route alignment, cost analysis, political factors, energy efficiency, and site development. I also proposed next steps to make this technology more real once it’s becomes technologically feasible.

My immediate neighbors were a large plaza with supporting commercial space to the north, a transportation museum to the south, a non-denominational worship space to the west, and a green technology focused postsecondary school to the north east. Lake Michigan is approximately a quarter mile to the east.

Warp is located just south of downtown and McCormick Place, the busiest convention center in North America. Warp offers commercial, office, and a hotel offering great views. Along with high speed hyperloop connections, Warp is located on a train line linking the greater Chicago area together. The artery interstate of Chicago, Lake Shore Drives is immediatly avaialbe and a streetcar system also runs through the hub which serves the immediate community.

The combination of all these different forms of travel creates connections from a neighborhood scale to a regional scale.

TIME’S LABYRINTH Urban Cemetary

TIME’S LABYRINTH 100

YEAR

S

Time’s Labyrinth is an answer to a growing problem in many cities. The use of valuable, urban land for cemeteries.

A solution I came up with is creating a single, skyward cemetary.

This cemetary grows over time. It would take well over 100 years to reach the qualities shown in the last step of the diagram and the renders shown.

Although the concept could be applied to many environments and cities, this Time’s Labryinth is located in downtown Milwaukee.

Walking through a labyrinth has been used since the ancient times to reduce stress.

With modern testing we have learned that walking a labryinth slows heart rates, lowers blood pressure, and many patients say their pain level decrease.

Dealing with the death of a loved one is painful to say the least. I believe this form of cemetary would help reduce some of that pain.

Time’s Labyrinth uses a vertically stacked, glass brick system in which ashes are stored.

The bricks lock into one another, along with structural struts, that allow it to grow infinitely over time. After many years, it becomes a monument to those who have passed.

SCIENCE CENTER

Kahler Slater was brought on to help rehabiliate a university’s science center to promote and enhance collaboration between the other schools and the programs within the science center.

I was put on to this project to design, develop the drawings and details, and create any renderings or other diagrams neccessary.

We decided to open up some spaces along the main corridors. When entering from the north entrance, you are meet with a brightly colored corner meeting space. Across from the corridor is a space with seating and a bookcase.

In multiple locations throughout the project, textured colored acousitic wall panels help reduce any noise congestion.

As you move down the hall, you enter the main collaboration space. Formerly two cluttered offices, we replaced it with a media wall, glassboards, contemporary furniture, and a wood wall to ceiling with dynamic lighting which carries into a cafe space across the hall. The corridors are kept completely bare from major design moves, besides the moments in which the main spaces break through, to highlight their importance.

INCLINATION Multi-Use Development

montreux, switzerland academic, 5th year architecture, individual urban design, group fall 2017

INCLINATION Inclination is a vehicle for movement in a urban design concept in which three main paths slice the site, which sits on top of a super structure enclosing a train yard below, located in Montreux Switzerland.

The urban design prioritizes the existing access points and main institutions around the site, and connects them using elevated pathways above green space and vehicular traffic.

All graphics by: Brook Boughton Inclination is the entrance to this new urban center for Montreux. Inclines are the main organizing element for the building. An existing pedestrian pathway connects with new elevated pathways that leads to the rest of the district.

The first ramp also serves as the primary entrance for 6000 sq meters of office space. The second ramp serves art studios and residential units. The ramp crescendos with a bar featuring amazing views of Montreux, Lake Geneva, and the Swiss Alps.

The roof serves as a long gathering space which serves as a performance space for Montreux, known for it’s annual jazz festival. The ramping

structure is like climbing a mountain, as you climb you are treated with different and greater views until you reach the peak and everything around you is revealed in all its beauty.

Montreux is located in the banana belt of Switzerland, meaning it has a moderate to warm climate year round which makes this building a year round attraction for residents of Montreux and tourists alike.

Inclination is a truly a live, work and play environment which takes advantage of the beautiful scenery Montreux has to offer.

GROVE HALL Residence Hall

milwaukee, usa academic, 4th year individual fall 2016

GROVE HALL

Grove Hall sits between two great green spaces on UW-Milwaukee’s campus. A grove to the north, and a rain garden to the south. Grove Hall adds a third green space to Northeast corner of campus.

The overlapping rectilinear forms serve as a juxtaposition to the curvilinear path that runs through the building below. In addition to 180 dorm rooms, Grove Hall adds much needed classrooms and lecture halls to the campus.

I took the language of the grove, trees in diffrent askewed directions, and translated that to bunches of askewed columns puncturing it’s way through shared spaces.

This creates visible markers for gathering spaces, to create a greater sense of community in Grove Hall and the campus.
