RAILS TO RICHES Transforming a former rail line into a living bicycle corridor The idea was to improve bicycle mobility in the city of Minneapolis by transforming an old industrial rail line into a thriving bicycle corridor. The only way to get people to bike, is to make it a enjoyable and convenient way to travel through the city. The approach was to develop a typology that can responsibly densify the area and is specifically geared towards bicycle mobility. The architecture and urban elements express a relationship with the bicycle corridor. In turn, the collections of buildings and the bike path benefit each other to form a new type of public space; one that isn’t completely a green park, nor one that is completely urban, but is a hybrid between the two.

CONNECTING THE URBAN CENTERS For a bicycle corridor to be successful, it needs to connect destinations. The Midtown Greenway connects the largest attractors in the metro area: downtown Minneapolis, downtown St. Paul, the chain of lakes, the airport and America’s largest shopping center. It also connects to many other bicycle trails throughout the metro area. The Midtown Greenway ends are marked by bodies of water. To the west; The Minneapolis chain of lakes, and to the east; the Mississippi River.

Retail Space - First floor retail space gives the bicycle corridor a certain amount of vibrancy and life that is needed to make it a desirable destination
Office Space - Bringing office space to the bicycle corridor will allow employees to use the path to go to work while strengthening the corridor as an important mobility asset

The path is divided into a dedicated bicycle path and a pedestrian area. The surrounding structures engage with the corridor through their proximity and architectural elements such balconies that reach out towards the path. There are a lot of elements that allow users to sit, relax, or socialize along the corridor.
The spaces between the structures allow for public spaces/gardens where people can relax in a green, yet urban area that is close to home. It is a place where inhabitants can interact in a non-formal way 14 | Rails to Riches | Nov. ‘14
THE LANTERN A beacon of sustainability at Norway’s biggest music festival The project was an entry in the “120” competition in cooperation with two other colleagues. The Lantern focuses on the lack of accurate sustainable knowledge on a global scale. While the city of Oslo and Øya music festival are both leaders in environmental sustainability, a majority of the world still is in the dark about what environmental sustainability consists of. The Lantern seeks to integrate the user through a variety of Øya Festival related functions while drawing the eye in to the focal point, a large beacon lit through sustainable means. This beacon which represents architectural knowledge in sustainability, bathes passers by as they stop to admire its beauty.
The location was chosen based on a study of pedestrian traffic density. Given the location and position of each stage, as well as food vendor areas, the transition paths connecting the crowds were mapped. The mapping of these paths provides information on which areas in the park will carry the highest density of people, thereby making the site of the project a central and accessible meeting point.

15 | The Lantern | Mar. ‘14
Utilizing “SMARTFLOOR” technology, each step in the lantern generates 5W-seconds of energy which can be stored and used to power the electronic displays and media booths. This floor encourages further users to participate. Without the necessary foot traffic, the beacon will not be lit, thus integrating the user into the sustainable process.

THINK TANK BERGEN: DENSITY STUDIES Planning an integrated urban center for Sandsli, Bergen Sandsli is a recently developed and growing suburb of Bergen, Norway. It has characteristics such as sprawled out single family homes, corporate office campuses, light industry, and many natural areas. The area of focus contains several large office buildings and a light-rail stop, which makes the location optimal for becoming a satellite center within the greater Bergen area. The intension was to create a dense integrated urban environment that creates short distances so that walking and biking are the most comfortable means of transportation. The light-rail is a necessary element, so that pubic transit is encouraged and made easy. A socially sustainable aspect is the fact that the dense urban fabric, small-scale buildings, and small block sizes, allow for more human interaction and encounters.
DENSIFYING SANDLSI Sandsli cannot continue to expand the way it has been. It is un-sustainable; both environmental and socially. To “save” Sandsli, there needs to be a more dense integrated urban environment that creates short distances so that walking and biking is the most comfortable means of transportation. The center will also be integrated with the regional light-rail. Dense urban fabric, small-scale structures, and small block sizes, will allow for more human interaction and encounters; thus promoting a social aspect of sustainability. Green spaces are also spread out evenly throughout the urban fabric.

There are currently about 1,900 people living in Sandsli. the municipality has plans for more housing (150-250 new houses) and growing businesses. The oil company Statoil alone employs 2,000 ... which is more people than the entire population of Sandsli
+
This number will grow as Statoil adds 1,300 more employees. The total number of workers in Sandsli is 8,200 and is expected to grow by another 2,700 - 6,400
The new light-rail line will bring approximately 2,000 passengers through the area per hour.

With these maps, one can get a better picture of how Sandsli has developed. It is an area that was almost empty 60 years ago, and is now dotted with typical suburban structures.
Dead-Ends
New Connection There is a problem with the connectivity between buildings. Buildings act as islands in the site. They have no relation to each other. With the proposed plan, connections will be built up so that the area is easier to access by pedestrian.
The dead-ends prevent connectivity.
By simply connect the dead ends with the main road, the area can become more accessible.
Reduce Parking: Every office building in the area has it’s own parking lot. By simply creating a shared parking garage, the paved footprint can be greatly reduced. Large parking lots in front of buildings create distance with the street.
parking lots
19 | Think Tank Bergen: Density Studies | Dec. ‘13
L A N D S C A P E F E AT U R E S There are a few areas that are quite unique and add value to the site. These areas are to be preserved while also being made more accessible. The creek is a very important feature to the site. It is accessible through a bike that runs parallel to it. A 1:300 model was made to better understand the site and its qaulities as well as experiment with densification strategies. Creek Valley: The creek valley is the area’s most valuable natural asset. There is a footbridge connecting the Statoil building with a parking lot. However, it seems as though little effort was put into preserving the surrounding trees. The valley is about 10m deep with a bike path running along the creek. Statoil Complex: The Statoil complex is composed of a collection of buildings clustered around a parking lot. Some of the current problems include the fact that courtyards aren’t very usable due to the terrain, and the “spaces” created by the buildings are mostly filled with parking. There also is not much effort put into the exterior aesthetics, but the new addition however does bring a fresh architectural language to the collection.
untouched areas
TO O L S F O R D E N S I F I C AT I O N Establish a Grid: As a functioning center and as a place where people want to stay, there needs to be diversity in building types and sizes. Civic buildings, corporate offices, startup offices, apartments, stores, markets, ... ect. Using building masses from the Florence grid and the Novartis campus grid, one can begin to see how streets and building can inhabit the site.
Main corridor
Informal courtyard corridor
Examples:
Examples:
Narrow courtyard office unit (14x46x16m)
Small housing/multi-use unit (8x18x12m)
Large multi-use unit (18x34x13m)
Large office block or multi-use unit (34x46x16m)
Building Variation: To create a good urban fabric, there should be be many variations within each building type. It is important for the urban fabric to be porous and allow for people to pass through in different situations.
A standard courtyard building allows for an intimate space within
A semi-enclosed courtyard allows for more openness
A partially raised building can define an important area or allow for a larger street
A raised building allows for the most porosity

S E R I E S O F S PAC E S Along one of the main axis through the site, there are different moments that have different spacial characters. The drawings below try to show the different experiences along the path.
The existing Statoil building has no relation to the landscape features. With the new densification strategy, buildings engage more with the landscape and create a series of spaces along an axis and activate the creek valley.

PIXEL STAGE A transformable pavilion for Weimar’s art festival The project is a modular, mobile, and dynamic event space. The floor and seating are flexible. The structure is able to adapt from a public and inclusive place during the day and transform into a private event venue in the evening. The program includes a large flexible stage area with an attached changing room and storage area, a lobby, bar, wardrobe, info-desk, and rest rooms. The attached back-stage area, allows performers and actors to transition easily to and from the stage. The structure is laid out in an inclusive way and invites public activity. “Pixels” that seem to have fallen from the main structure act as street furniture. This invites people to sit and watch the public life of the square, making public life the “play” that is being watched during the day. The main seating area is composed of 1x1 meter cubes that can be lowered and raised by a mechanical scissor-lift system. The system is configured to allow for several different stage and seating scenarios. In theory, the event director is able to create any stage scenario in a way that will the strengthen the composition of the performance. The exterior is designed in a way to look like a cloud of pixels inhabiting the public sphere. Its “foreignness” suggest the fact that the structure is merely a guest ... an object only present during the months of the art festival.

GREEN RING Converting Hamburg’s busiest road into a green, walkable corridor The project aims to convert the busy road that surrounds the city of Hamburg into a “Green Ring.” The Green Ring is supposed to create a green and enjoyable atmosphere for a pedestrians and cyclists. The Green Ring is divided in several zones; for pedestrians, cyclists, cars, light rail. These changes reduce heavy car traffic and motivates alternative means of getting around the city. The Green Ring surrounds the whole city, but the main area of focus involves hybrid buildings that are docked onto the Green Ring. The hybrid building has a several courtyards that serve as “rooms” for the boulevard. The functions include market, shopping, office, restaurant, hotel, living, library, and cultural center. Each courtyard has a different personality and feel, but keeps a theme of heavy vegetation. The positioning of the hybrid building also makes it attractive, as it sits halfway between the train station and Hafen city. Together, the hybrid building and boulevard create a paradise for pedestrians and cyclists and improves the overall spacial quality of Hamburg.

URBAN VISION Envisioning highways as buildable areas This project seeks to demonstrate the best possible way to utilize the area above the highway as a space that can be used and enjoyed by the public in multiple ways. The site is located on Highway 290 at the Racine crossing; approximately 2 miles outside of Chicago. This site was chosen because of its proximity to the city, access to public transportation, and the potential for surrounding buildings to benefit from this building. The formal concept is a response to sustainable building techniques, site location, and an expression of movement as though it was moving with traffic. SITE Chicago has a large network of roads and highways. All the space taken up by roads adds up. Especially as space becomes more valuable closer to the city. Why not use this space?

LIVING To increase terrace size for private green space, the residential units are staggered. This provides a large private green space that is usually not enjoyed in mid-rise apartment units. In addition to providing a large garden area, the vegetation protects the apartments from the noise and emissions of the highway.

TRANSIT There is a CTA station is incorporated into the building on the highway level. The station allows easy access to city and encourages public transportation not only to the users of the building, but to the entire surrounding area.
passive heating
S U S TA I N A B L E E L E M E N T S Lighting: To save energy that is used for heating, the building utilizes strategies to maximizes thermal gain in the winter and decrease solar heat in the summer. The building is stretched in a east-west axis to maximize southern exposure. The southern facade is equiped with louvers that shade the building in the summer. The apartment units are facing south-east to maximize solar gain in the winter and receive natural daylight. There is an atrium at the center of the office space to allow defused natural daylight to enter the core of building, reducing the need for electrical lighting. There is a double glazing system that allows the air in between to heat up in the winter months and enter the building to passively heat it. Ventilation: The center of the building has an atrium to allow air to naturally ventilate the building, decreasing dependence on mechanical equipment. All glazed facades are operable, allowing cool air to enter low, and warm air exit high. Evapotranspiration: The building utilizes evapotranspiration, which is the movement of water to the air from sources such as the soil, canopy interception, and water bodies. Transpiration accounts for the movement of water within a plant and the subsequent loss of water as vapor through stomata in its leaves. By having large vegetated terraces, there is natural cooling that occurs that also provides cleaner air in the current polluted environment. Solar Energy: The roof of the building is clad with PV panels to provide the building with solar energy,

COMMUNITY WELLNESS CENTER Promoting wellness and education in a troubled context The project challenge was to promote health and wellness and create a safe and inviting environment for south-side Chicago users. By providing such a building, there is the hope that the quality of life and sense of community is improved. The program includes a large auditorium, a day-care center, counseling rooms, class rooms for computer training, and a chapel.

The auditorium has a large glazed hallway on its south side. The hallway is fully glazed and acts as a greenhouse. The south wall of the auditorium receives heat from direct sunlight in winter months. The heat is then released through the wall, which heats the auditorium. Every window is also operable to allow for optimal ventilation. The lobby outside of the auditorium is quite open to allow for gatherings and socializing before and after events. Because of the harsh urban environment outside, the interior of the building acts as an urban oasis, providing almost more connection with nature than the actual outdoor environment.

Angled wood panels allow the audience to receive more sound, creating a more live auditorium. The almost parallel plan calls for some sort of sound reflection to prevent echoes. The space in between panels act as large cavities, which is a form of sound absorption
The north wall has thin slit windows to allow indirect north light and views to the outside, but provides enough thermal mass to insulate room in cold months.

PALAZZO VILLA ROTUNDA A contemporary solution in a historic context The project challenge was to design a multi-use building that includes a restaurant, cafe, library, chapel, and hostel rooms in the historically significant context of the Pantheon in Rome. Our approach was to use classical elements of proportion and hierarchy while using a contemporary style. The design is abstract and simple, as to not take away from the monumental Pantheon.

Sustainable elements such as passive air ventilation, radiative heating and cooling, courtyard cooling and solar energy are utilized. Thick walls are used to keep the building cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The windows are also set extra deep on the west face as to block out the high summer sun but to still let in the winter sun.

URBAN MARKET A market for the city of Oak Park The challenge was to design a market that fits into the urban environment of the city of Oak Park. The program called for a large indoor market area for vendors to sell food and other merchandise. A portion of the site is designed for out door market activity. In order to encourage public activity, there is a large open area in front of the market to invite other outdoor communal events to take place on the site. The program is divided between two buildings to allow foot traffic to flow though the site to a neighboring alley where shops are located. One of the main elements of the market is its bright red cladding. The red panels filter sun light while also bringing a lot of attention to the market, making it a monument to the community.
Empty site
Introduce simple building mass
Open building to create a better connection
The space between the two buildings is to be used for the outdoor market. It is spaced so that it invites people from the street to venture between the two buildings. The area also allows for other events during the outdoor market season such as a stage for small concerts. Red panels are applied to the building to protect the fully glazed facades from the sun and to create an aesthetically interesting element.
