WHO’S LEARNING FROM WHO?
THE MISSION STATEMENT 3439u is a new piece of the city designed to foster a new community of learning. 3439u integrates students and teachers across academic disciplines and grade levels by articulating the spaces between buildings, that is, the connective tissue that stitches people and places together. 3439u is not a model for every university, but a specific urban intervention that offers an alternative to the dominant mode of spatially and temporally stratifying systems of education that produce and disseminate knowledge through discrete units (i.e. academic departments).

Community of Learning Concept Diagram
3439u’s public secondary schools seek academically talented students from each of the five boroughs. The schools offer students a rich and rigorous multidisciplinary curriculum designed to stimulate critical, creative, and independent thinking. As a whole, the University cultivates in all members of its community high personal expectations and integrity, respect for others regardless of age, race, religion, and economic background, and an understanding of how diversity enriches us, and why service to others enhances life. Above all, the University nurtures a genuine love of learning.

THE SITE PLAN AND NODES The site plan of 3439U is aptly named because it extends from 34th street on the south to 39th street on the north. This mega site allows for the creation of a fully functional university campus comparable to that of Columbia University in the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
to the street. Because of its proximity to the Hudson River, park space is easily accesable to the student body. A large green hill created by the gymnasium connects the compus with the new park space. This connection is further enhanced through burrying the West Side Highway making pedestrian access safe and seamless.
Five towers are dispersed throughout the five Manhattan blocks. These act as major nodes along the sire, acting as navigational landmarks as well as the main entrances to the educational facilities that do not open

Experiment 2 Atmospheric Organization
PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project, ‘Curating Light’ is an attempt to juxtapose the inherent qualities of light (both natural and artificial) as a way to re-contextualize the spatial elements of a museum. Lighting is an intrinsic element of all buildings, yet is often neglected as an architectural feature even though the implementation of lighting can both generate and augment the atmospheric conditions of a space. For example, work spaces require a cold, high-contrast light, while large multiuse spaces require much warmer, low-contrast lighting. When separated, these lighting variations may go completely unnoticed. But, by highlight-
ing this juxtaposition, a new contextualization of programmatic function and connotation becomes apparent. However, merely placing two different lights next to one another does not generate the type of juxtaposition necessary to generate any real spacial differentiation. This is because there is a difference between a hard architectural boundary (such as a wall) and a soft atmospheric boundary (such as light spilling out of a doorway). It is therefor necessary to create an element upon which this atmospheric condition may be registered in contrast to the hard architectural boundary.

CLIMATE CELL Air Monitoring in the Upper West Side
F.2009 | Instructor Mark Rakatansky
DESCRIPTION
INTAKE
CLEANSING
BROADCAST
In response to New York’s air pollution problems, city officials have deployed a climate pod to monitor, test, and filter the air. The site for the Climate Cell is on the campus of Columbia University. Here, the pod draws air in through a series of gill-like slits, passing it through and internal filtration system. The air is monitored and cleansed before being exhausted on the the surrounding university grounds. The pod is also composed of a flexible internal frame which allows it to conform to programmatic needs as well as the ergonomic proportions of the human body.

POLYMORPHIC A Kinetic Seating Installation
S.2011 | Instructors Brigette Boarders & Mark Bearak Done in Collaboration w/ Alexis Burson, Ivy Chan, Jennifer Chang, Aaron Harris, Trevor Hollyn-Taub, Brian Lee, Eliza Montgomery, Vernon Roether, and David Zhai.
Project Description Polymorphic is a kinetic and interactive installation utilizing a design and engineering solution inspired by the simple kinetic action of a see-saw and the reverberating motion of a Slinky. With a series of 119 unique and interconnected sections, a simple central pivot and bolt system allows the vertical movement of one section to be picked up by others down the line. Together, this motion allows the installation to transform from a series of leveled sections into an undulating form activated through interaction with its occupants. While the overall form of the bench is realized as a continuous landscape, each seating condition was designed according to existing ergonomic profiles in order to maximize comfort and 84 |

functionality. This is further realized by allowing the tolerance of its motion to conform to the postures of the occupants simply by using their weight as a point of activation. Through testing and engineering, the developed system has the ability to grow much larger and wider depending on the availability of resources and materials. The form of the design can likewise be readily adjusted to suit the conditions and contextual requirements of various spaces and environments. The scalability of the joint system and design together creates a truly parametric system in which its use is not only for aesthetics, but for construction, functionality, and comfort as well.

Elastic Band Connection

Components Two simple connections not only provide the stability of the bench, but moderate the movement of each individual section as it reacts to applied forces. The first is a sliding bolt connection, which acts as a restraint between sections, controlling the displacement allowed to be carried over from adjacent sections. The second is an elastic connection, which is a typical rubber band that gives the bench its “springy� quality while providing lateral stability to the installation as a whole.

Description As part of the European Capital of Culture Program, students and faculty from Olu University in Finland and Columbia University in New York collaborated to create a cultural pavilion highlighting the Finnish tradtion of wood-working. Pudelma, a combination of the Finish words puu (wood) and kudelma (web of ), is a wooden structure composed of 490 cnc shaped Kerto-Q beams which range from 2-6 feet in length. The project combines state-of-the-art computer-aided manufacturing methods and as well as traditional wood know-how.
96 |
Full Scale Joint Mock-Up
The basic mortise and tenon joint was utilized for almost everry connection. Each beam either recieves or abuttes to four other beams, creating a ‘woven’ pattern. The cnc farication allowed for extremly high tollerance, allowing the entire structure to work in compression with no glue and minimal screws. The pavilion was erected in the City Hall Park in Turku, Finland as a temporary installation, but has since become a permanant landmark.

UNDERSTANDING FABRIC FORMWORK Fabric formwork is an emerging technology with the capacity to transform both the formal and technical systems of concrete structures. Formally, fabrics respond directly to the wet, plastic nature of uncured concrete, creating natural and organically complex curvature. Unlike rigid plywood formwork, fabrics expand, contract, and deform under the various internal loads, seeking a natural equilibrium (similar to the hanging chain models of Gaudi). This means that through understanding the natural forces, tensioned geometries can produce highly efficient structural forms through very simple formwork systems. 106 |
Formwork Material Consumption Diagram
The argument could be made that these same forms are possible with more traditional formwork systems. However, an increase in complexity produces two effects which are not easily mitigated by rigid formworks. First, as geometry becomes more intricate, so must the formwork – necessitating three, eight, or twenty-plus part molds. Each part adds not only extra material and cost, but higher potential for failure. With fabric however, through simple techniques such as clamping or stitching, a wide range of complexity can be achieved with a single fabric ‘sac’. For example, in our Liquid Column project, a traditional
mold would have required 13,824 cubic inches of plywood and numerous connections, yielding a material consumption of over 15,000 cubic inches. The fabric system however required only 2,448 cubic inches of plywood, and 3,805 cubic inches of fabric, requiring only 3,805 cubic inches of material (75% less material than the traditional method). Secondly, as the complexity increase, the ability for concrete to flow easily through the mold decreases. This inherently necessitates a less viscous, and structurally less stable concrete ratio. In traditional systems, water is trapped within the formwork, producing air bubbles, un-even curing, and poor structural properties. In flexible formwork however, the permeability of fabric improves both surface finish and higher strength concrete by allowing air and excess water to bleed through during the curing process. This means that high-slump mixtures can pass through very complex molds, while still yielding structurally stable forms. While fabric formworks do yield a distinct esthetic result, the universality of the concepts and benefits seem far more promising than any existing technologies. Our experiments were meant to be an exploration in both formal language and technical process, revealing the limitations and benefits of such a system.

LASER-CUT FABRIC The initial experiments delt with free form or hand sewn patterning. But part-way through the experiments, laser cut fabric was used to add an element of precision patterning to the casts. The intent was to control the expansion and slumping of the concrete by controling the size of the laser cut aperature in hopes of improving structural proformance.

Description
Fabricated Array
The aim of the project was to generate an image through a complex physical system using a single ‘pixel’ element containing all the construction logic. Using RhinoScript, each pixel would be assigned a rotational value, resulting in a varied surface shade, reform a greyscale representation of the initial image.

I was also part of the assembly and installation of a continuation of the Pixel Board project, titled Fabricating Light. The final installation used a modified version of my initial pixel component, designed in the Pixel Board phase. Project design by John Hooper, Morgan Reynolds, Christo Logan, and David Kwon. Assembly by Nicole Seekely, Melissa Goldman, Christian Prasch, Vernon Roether.

ARCHIMEDEAN FACADE
BASIC ELEMENT FORMATION
The project, Archimedean Faรงade, was designed as a screen-like system to be attached to an existing parking garage structure. The fundamental underlying geometry of the system was derived from a study of icosahedrons and other Archimedean solids. Utilizing the parametric capabilities of Catia, the faรงade is composed of individual elements grouped into larger components, which are then arrayed across the structure, forming a unified system. Each of the faรงade elements are unique, drawing proportions from individual parametric relationships with a single attractor point. 1

CatEcoHopper The CatEcoHopper was meant to act as a workflow piece which allowed user-created geometry to pass from Catia, into Ecotect, and return analysis data for use. The initial aspects of the project included a recursive feedback loop inwhich geometry would be optimized in Catia using this analysis data, but this proved to be outside the scope of the class. Instead, the element became a more user-oriented workflow, where data was kept in a very raw abstract form, maliable to the needs of the user. The diagram to the right depicts the software workflow necessary to complete the process described above. Software included Catia, VB Script, Ecotect, LUA Script, and Excel.

DATA MANIPULATION The CatEcoHopper workflow allows a user to import Catia geometry into Ecotect through a series of automated functions. However, it is benifitial to the efficency of the process that the user create simplified analysis geometry for the calculations. This also alllows a user to very precisly calculate just how much data will
be returned from the workflow. For example, the diagram above shows that a nine component panel is tessalated, thereby forming eighteen analysis surfaces. A user can specify weather these are calculated as one panel, or two sperate objects, or can simply aveage the values retuned by the two seperate panels. Final Data Collection | 143

MEAT FACTS 1.5 BILLION GREENHOUSE GASSES 18% METHANE 1 MILLION TONS SHARE OF METHANE PRODUCT. 1/3 1L MILK 990L WATER PLANETARY SURFACE COVER 30% 500 MILLION HECTARES GLOBAL CATTLE
While the contribution of greenhouse gas emissions towards global climate change is widely acknowledged, the role of animal agriculture in this crisis is rarely mentioned. This is surprising, considering the livestock sector is responsible for 18 percent of global emissions, which is higher than the entire transport sector. A portion of this impact comes from the massive amount of land required for raising livestock. The total area occupied by both grazing and feedcrop production accounts for 70 percent of all agricultural land and 30 percent of the land surface of the planet. This has led to deforestation in many parts of the world, which contributes to the net increase of CO2 in the atmosphere.
SOURCES “LIVESTOCK’S LONG SHADOW”
FAO 2006 - UN FOOD AND AGRICULTURAL ORGANIZATION (http://www.fao.org/newsroom/en/news/2006/1000448/index.html)

A much larger impact, however, comes straight from the animal, whose gastrointestinal processes of belching and flatulence account for 37% of the world’s emissions of methane (CO4), a greenhouse gas with 23 times the global warming potential (GWP) of CO2. In this factor, cows are the dominant contributors. Where’s the Beef? visualizes the huge impact of the cattle industry by reconfiguring the world map in terms of the impacts of beef production and consumption. Our global affinity for meat has strained the limits of our ecosystem, with impacts that are spread unevenly across the planet. It is time for global leaders to realize the impact of beef on the crisis of climate change, so that appropriate action can finally be taken.
