1 MI L E New York City parks are comprised of tree species from around the world. As an infrastructural resource, 5.2 million living trees draw in and store 1.35 million tons of carbon dioxide annually and cover approximately a quarter of New York City land area. In contrast to New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highly maintained park system, Rio de Janeiroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parks, comprised primarily of native species, are less controlled and play a more active role in shaping the urban fabric.

Rio de Janeiro is currently seeing an influx of public works projects in preparations for the World Cup Tournament in 2014 and the Summer Olympic Games in 2016. Despite having an abundance of domestic hardwoods a vast amount of timber is still being imported to suit the needs of highly specialized projects. Large projects such as these produce an abundance of wood waste that can then be used for furniture, heating, and makeshift structures.

CULTIVATING LANDSCAPE KEENAN KORTH, ZOE NAMEROW, HANNAH NOVAK, MANUEL CORDERO

Cultivating Landscape aims to provide a nurturing environment for the growth of trees from saplings to mature trees. As the plants mature, the associated programs become more flexible and accommodating to community events. The sites fo the initial stages provide a platform for education and awareness of environmental issues at both local and global scales. For the city of Rio de Janeiro, these programs take advantage of the underutilized spaces scattered around Praca Tiradentes by providing miniature cultural hubs open to public events. These sites are templates for a larger network that can take place throughout the city. This network can expand to encompass other plazas and parks to initiate more cycles throughout the urban landscape.

STAGE 1 AEROPARK

Our solution for a temporary structure in Praรงa Tiradentes addresses the environmental issues surrounding deforestation within an urban landscape. The structure utilizes aeroponic farming techniques in a modular system, which cultivates tree saplings as a part of reforestation efforts and encourages community involvement by allowing visitors to take and re-plant tree saplings. The structure is sustainable, incorporating solar panels and rain collecting modules to generate energy for the aeroponic mechanisms. Specific manifestations of this system are driven by site-specific parameters such as sun movement,

DAY 1 Small clipping from a tree can be cut and used as the starting point for saplings

DAY 2 Tree clippings are taken to Praca Tiradentes and planted in the aeroponic growing system

DAY 2-21

DAY 22

Over the course of 2-3 weeks, the saplings develop a callous and root system

Once sapling roots have fully developed, community members remove the saplings from the aeroponic system

They are watered every hour with a nutrient mist that is pumped througout the system Roots must grow 7-10 inches to reach full maturity

DAY 23 After tree saplings are removed, they are planted into the ground in an effor to help eradicate deforestation

KIT OF PARTS The assembly of the aeroponic structure can adapt to fit every environment. The kit of parts includes the pieces needed to achieve different heights in order to accommodate the proper program and unique, site-specific experiences.

STAGE 2

After spending two to three weeks in Stage 1, the tree saplings move to Stage 2 in this adjacent site. Here the plants are housed for two to three years. The plants gradually move through a gradient of pot sizes to accomodate their growing root structure. The perforated surface that houses and feeds the plants also creates an immersive experience for visitors. The exterior ramps allow the visitor to experience the gradient of growth over time. The interior forms a cave-like environment that exposes the roots of the trees and contains two small lecture spaces

STAGE 3

While many plants from Stage 2 are distributed throughout the city those remaining are transferred to the Stage 3 site. Once again, this site utilizes an existing facade near Praca Tiradentes. trees are placed in tracks below grade, while the rootball is exposed. An elevated drip irrigation system further maximies the visibility of the care of the small trees. An overhead lightbox collects solar energy throughout the day and serves to fuel the irrigation system as well as illuminate the space for evening events. A this stage, the role of public space becomes more prominent, as visitors can walk and sit between the rows of the trees within the space.

The light box collects rain and provides light for evening events

The rain is pumped into the drip irrigation system to provide water to the trees The walkway leads to a small event space at the corner end of the site Tracks below grade hold the trees in place while slight changes in elevation create seating opportunities 64

STAGE 4

The final stage creates a permanent landscape for the trees that have not been adopted elsewhere from earlier stages. The landscpae is extruded and torqued upward creating architectural volumes that house research facilities deicated to forwarding the many new and innovative ways to utilize trees as a resource. This space also houses a small permanent aeroponic garden providing specimens for research as well as an open patio that accommodates up to two hundred people for public events. From this point new clippings can be taken from the permanently planted trees and recycled back through the systems beginning in Aeropark on Praca Tiradentes.

K[NO]W Waste NICK MINGRONE + GWENETH BACON-SHONE

K[no]w Waste is a temporary installation for Praca Tiradentes, a public square in the historical downtown of Rio de Janeiro. In the hopes of challenging the common tendency of the public to forget about waste once it is discarded, as landďŹ lls are tucked far away out of sight, the project forces the public to confront it, visually and physically. The installation acts as an alternative to disposing of waste in a trash can on the street. As objects are placed into the structure, it transforms, taking on the attributes of whatever materials it holds. The system itself is also reconďŹ gurable, thus allowing users to dictate both form and materiality for themselves. Rather than treating waste as something to be discarded and forgotten, its characteristics are made experiential, and its sight impossible to ignore. Because it functions as a waste receptacle system, the structure also has a release mechanism so that the collected materials can be properly collected and recycled or sold off, rather than simply being discarded.

TRASHWORKS Nick Mingrone

Trashworks builds upon the K[no]w Waste project and applies its function to a more permanent construction. It operates as a part of an ongoing even cycle across several abandoned lots surrounding Praca Tiradentes in Rio de Janeiro. Trashworks is an artist in residence headquarters that offers an alternative solution to waste disposal through waste collection and art installation. Using a structural suspension system that fosters openness and transparency, particularly for the flow of light and views throughout the structure, the main site is broken into a series of smaller programmatic spaces. Private spaces housing resident artists are brought to the uppermost levels. While the ground level is geared to recieve both incoming trash and the public from the outside world. Public and private meet at the middle level, which contains both artist workspace and gallery and event areas. Central to everything is the waste itself, actively sorted and on display. A series of satellite sites has also been selected to house the completed artist installations, and a final exhibition t the conclusion of residency returns the work to Praca Tiradentes, the original site of material collection.

RAINCLOUD SHIVINA HARJANI + CAROLINE LUKINS

Raincloud is a temporary pavilion installation that aims to educate the occupants about water as a natural, sustainable resource in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The intervention brings to the community an interactive public space that hopes to inspire a new consciousness around Rio’s historically tenuous relationship with water. The space both engages users in leisurely activity and uses water to unveil a series of ironies in Carioca’s water access. Water levels at the site directly respond to the population of users, bringing about a sensitivity to control over one’s own access to and influence over the community’s water.

124

125

Canopy-Occupant Relationship: A pump and pully mechanism connects the pavilions topography to the canopy, causing an increase in weight to pull the canopy shut, therefore expelling less water.

Topography: Using the same geometric language as the canopy, the topography of the site is instrumental in creating different conditions of water flow and social interaction along the sight.

127

Folding Diagram: On the folding surface, specific panels are perforated, allowing the canopy to expel water when open and to hold water when closed.

RAINCLOUD

Shivina Harjani Caroline Lukins

Raincloud2 adopts an abandoned site West of V Tiradentes to develop as a Flood Research Center/ Emergency Evacuation Shelter that uses the same technologies developed in Raincloud1 to build a reactive facade that opens and closes in response to monthly rainfall. In the event of a flood emergency, the facade and floor plates expand fully, allowing the Research Buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programs to transform and accommodate the immediate neighborhoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evacuees. At times of evacuation, the floor plates expand to 160% of the original square footage to accommodate the influx of residence in the building and the additional programs that are associated with evacuation necessities.

Interior Scale: Oversized Circulation Oversized circulation is central to the design of Raincloud2; the floor platesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shapes react to an extra-wide staircase that runs through the core of the building. The oversized stairs allow for both accessibility and for adaptable programmatic space (i.e. seating) during times of emergency.

THE FILTER AVA AMIRAHMADI

After learning about the lack of access to potable water in Rio de Janeiro, I designed a temporary pavilion that will collect and filter rainwater through the piping to feed activity areas around the plaza. I then developed a community center that my pavilion could connect to. The community center will tap into the beginning of the condominial block and redirect the water to its Granular Activated Carbon Filters. The potable water will be used in different activity areas in the community center, as well as feeding the rest of the condominial block. The roof also collects rainwater to feed the two green walls. By exposing the piping system and creating spaces with thi continually flowwing system, people who interact with these projects will be able to appreciate the beauty of water and learn about water filtration.
