CONCEPTUAL FLOATING

The contemporary ideas about architecture are always related, temporary, customized, generated, mass produced, lightweight, high-tech and etc. The challenge to gravity and traditional way and realm of designing seems to be the future of the discipline. These explorations, though sometimes appear to be pre-mature or even unrealistic, are efforts to tailor this discipline of long history to the needs of contemporary, again. Projects in this section utilize sculptural methods that tweak the form and materiality. The stanza of the projects even rejects the site, trying to be an universal solution to certain problems, adding serious absurdity to the design.

Processing Generated Cloud Pattern

The idea of self design and built has been discussed and explored for a long time. Flexible design freezes after the freshness is gone, the only solution to a self-renewing design is to be built and maintained by a group of ever rotating tenants who share great conscious of the community. The ant colony is a great example of such community. Bringing the power of computation, simulation of ant behavior is researched to generate form. ENCODED MATTER / VISUAL STUDY 2012 EZIO BLASETTI

THE AUTONOMOUS AGENTS AND THE FORMAL IMPLEMENT

Autonomous agents, a concept in the computer science field. The Game of Life, also known simply as Life, is a cellular automaton devised by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970. This earliest automation demonstrated that simple sets of rules can generate very complex yet sometimes meaningful forms. Then the concept of agents and generative computation evolve into multiple field for problem solving and optimization, even very abstract problems. In this project, the rule set for automations are based on ant foraging behavior. 1. Avoid hitting other ants 2. Tend to follow other ants’ direction The first two rule is the classic yet simplest version of flock simulation. A unique third rule is added in this project, interpreting the space, represented as squares, as food, or living habitat. 3. Occupy the largest habitat Apparently the all ants rush to the largest square. Meanwhile when multiple ants occupy the same habitat, it utilizes a fractile function, quad-tree to subdivide itself until only one ant in the square. The result is ants periodically scanting the whole area in a nomadic way, resulting in different patterns, which is then extruded. 7

Instead of storing cash and pay interest in cash, Bank of Wisdom directly add value to your inner value. The Value of spirit, wisdom, is the value of life gained from the everyday experience, but goes beyond the experience. The WISDOM is something that directs you to the future. The deposit and interest in the bank becomes a collection of life stories.

BANK / CORE STUDIO 2013 SPRING CHRISTOPH KUMPUSCH

BANK OF WISDOM

THE ALTERNATIVE OF MONEY

The vault of a bank, is used to keep people from contacting belongings of others. In a reversed way, it also keeps belongings from circulating. It is best to store things that ages to be better. Just like oldmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wisdom. When looking from inside, the vault is comparable to caves for Buddhists to meditate.

THE CAVE FOR BETTER

Series of model study is conducted to understand the Buddhist grottoes. Rockite is the primary study material as it reflects the heavy and enclosed atmosphere of a cave.

Vaults as voids, Vaults as extrusions, Vaults as space in-between. Different form combinations suggests the variety of forms of meditation, forms of routine and ritual.

MASTER PLAN

ROUTINE

Put Yourself in the vault. After the ritual of walking through the mind-purifying space around the interface of inside and outside, when the thick door of the vault finally closes, you deposit your time into the bank, withdraw the experience life deposits in your mind, and start contemplating. The investor and the

subject of investment is both yourself. The vault become the bank itself. The physical bank becomes a collection of banks, a city for oracles. And vise versa, when you get out of the small space, you withdraw the time frozen when in the vault, and experience starts to be deposited

in your mind again. The world becomes the bank. Actually, YOU are the bank itself. The physical bank is only a incubator. The contemplation will could be everywhere. And finally, the world will be the wisdom bank, a land for oracles. 18

PREPARING LOBBY

VERTICAL VAULT SECTION

The lobby is a place for casual meditation. The forest like vertical vaults (columns) serves as a labyrinth to cut people who needs to deposit time to them selves from the outside world, preparing them to the upcoming meditation. The vertical vaults are of different sizes and heights, some touch the ground and some

touches the ceiling, disguising the true load bearing ones. Lights also leak into space both below and above the slab, through the seams on top, dematerializing the huge slab above. Some of the vault with sliding doors serves also as lockers.

PASSAGE OF VAULTS

THE PASSAGE OF VAULTS

The passage of vaults is a light filtering device. The light from above is reflected and filtered by the enclosed vault, yet the people in the vault is not capable of sensing light in this direction, but only light designed for special purpose.

The passage is also a show case of different vaults. Though the inside is invisible from the passage, the different sizes yet the different relationship to the wall make implication about the variety of the vault interior.

VAULT OF INTIMACY

VAULT OF LIGHT

Vaults are designed for special purpose. The space inside acts as catalyst to help occupant concentrate on certain experience, or distract them from certain experience. The theme for the vaults relate to human sensory organs, or emotional feelings, providing / excluding certain stimuli in the progress of meditation. 25

Space, the final frontier for human kind, challenges the most cutting edge technology. The lack of gravity and the air pressure should be maintained interior cast profound influence that building structure should be designed. Difficulty in transportation requires lunar vernacular building material and method, which should be automated. A solar 3D printer is proposed to create building material from the lunar dust. And a new sequence of building is developed accordingly. SPACE STUDIO / ADVANCED STUDIO 2014 SPRING MICHAEL MORRIS

Three Stages of Deep Space Exploration Earth: Thruster Propulsion Moon: Mass Driver Speed Deep Space: Ion Engine Efficiency

The vacuum and low gravity makes the moon a perfect launch base. It is when human is about to explore the deeper space that human would colonize moon. At that time, rocket industry, health care, food production, and entertainment, commercial programs as service would be necessary for the colonization. To transport the product of the town to both earth and deep space, a method of cheap mass transportation is need. The mass driver, electro-magnetic launching device, which is only possible in vacuum environments, became the natural choice. 39

THE SOLAR SINTER

Cheap and fast vernacular building material is needed. By using solar reflector melting the regolith of moon, printing panels for construction and digging holes on ground can be done at the same time. The panel printed would have one smooth as volcanic glass and other side rough as rock.

There are two mass divers perpendicular to each other, one dedicate for decelerating oncoming spacecrafts, which lean on the small mountain at the center. The other is dedicated to launching, which follows the most flat radius of the crater. The site is chosen at the Amundsen Crater, where is close enough to the south pole for easy landing. It also has a large diameter with a suitable slope for the mass driver at the rim. The thick regolith at the bottom of large craters also makes it a perfect place for printing panels for construction. The length of the mass driver is extraordinary, so is its importance to the town. It acts like a canal. The development of the town then fall into the pattern of the any-port town model. 42

THE PRINTING SEQUENCE

A curved roof with eave can shelter building from meteorite impacts as well as letting polar horizontal light in. Roof is supported by inflated membrane which can filter harmful radiation. Roof height can be adjusted by changing the air volume 43

in the membrane. According to the printing sequence, it is most economical to build in a linear manner.

THE LIVING UNIT

The printing sequence is also suitable for printing continuous tunnels. Thank to the 1/6 gravity of moon, the same construction can be used in larger structures such as streets, tunnels and hangers.

As the whole city structure is underground and covered with roof made of the same material as the moon surface. Thus the whole city is invisible to the earth.

These large structure are placed along the contour of the crater, branching into small pieces, forming a triangular master plan like flowing water. Each branch is optimized according to the contour.

The factory sections branch into smaller hydroponic gardens producing food for the city. The branches are connected by public programs such as gym, commercial and offices. The dynamic part of the city serves as the main street.

The essence of pop up culture is human activity, which Pop up culture is consists of. The event may past, the influence remains. It is the instinctive interaction of these events in timespace that consolidate these ephemeral events into permanent influences. Thus the altered relationship between people or between people and environment is the essence of pop up event. A structure that encourages these changes is the house for pop up spirit.

ON POP-UP CULTURE

For Pop-up events, the event may past, the influence remains. And the influences is consolidated into culture by future imitation. It is the instinctive interaction of these events in time-space that consolidate these ephemeral events into permanent influences.

The building becomes a vessel, housing the events. By structurally encourage the time-spatial interaction between events, it catalysts the chemistry between different events, turning them into permanent influences.

Chain of Green Line Parks

The site is at the southern end of the Brooklyn water front green line, near the future cruise hub Atlantis Basin. The location predicts the entertainment nature of the site.

Complex Occupant Origins

Unlike the series of sport parks to the north of the site, reprogrammed from piers, this site is surrounded by numerous art related industries. The occupant of the site could come from any of the four origins: sports park, bicycle line, art industry, and water transportation. This complex origin of occupants requires:

Dynamic Programing and Flexible Division

Due to the professional art industry around, the target occupants are the amateur artists of very short term lease. The renting and shape of the space must be flexible and provocative.

MOVING COLUMNS

A moving column is consist of hinged trusses and a cable at the back, with a plinth will be covered later. It uses app-controled motors to tighten or loosen the cable at the back of the column. Synthesized with the changing load from the tensioned roof, the column is capable of bending and stay stable at any angle.

COMBINATION OF MOVING COLUMNS

All column moving units

Half column moving units

One column moving units

ROOF MECHANISM

The roof is series piece of translucent fabric that is reinforced by strips interweaving inside. The two surfaces of the roof not only allow deformation, but also houses mechanical and even events inside.

The upper strip of the roof is made of rigid material that is always in tension. The lower strip of the roof is elastic material that allows deformation. Hydrolic pumps in-between can be automatically adjusted to keep the stress in both strips constant, making the flexible roof stable. 61

THE INTERACTION

The degree of enclosure of certain unit is determined by units surrounding it. The change of the roof as a whole is influenced by all the tenants of the structure. This mechanism engages communication and negotiation between neighbor artists during their performance, encouraging more interaction and synergies between ideas.

The technical part is always the core of the discipline. However imaginary the concept is, it has to be realized to be accepted, or to do any changes to the discipline. Putting the floating ideas down to the ground means compromising. Identify and maintaining the most important concept in the process is challenging yet fruits the most important implements of knowledge that can be utilized, or even distributed in the future.

Decisions are made based on the information people have. Telling the truth or not no longer a matter but the way of telling is crucial in today’s media. Architecture is also telling stories about the site, program, and history using forms. The site of the pool belongs to the NYC Grand housing, residence of which is antagonistic towards expanding Columbia. To build a pool on this site, the building has to be equipped with the form of “implicated inviting”. SWIMMING POOL / CORE STUDIO 2012 FALL JANETTE KIM

COMMUNITY AND INTERESTS

People make decisions based on their stand point and information they have. They also presume to believe

themselves are the ones with the right side. It is impossible for people to be correct if not well informed. What should the gesture of the architecture on a polemic land be where people maybe biased to be informed? The Columbia extension is being carried out despite of the voice of opposition from

Harlem. None of both side is taking in the opinion of the other side. To respect all the opinions, the building should remain as neutral as possible, as while as welcoming people who use or will use it: the meaning of the expression varies with pedestrianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s altitude towards it.

(NOTHING) The pilotis allows the building not to obstruct traversing of the site, while the polygon ground and the curved bottom provides a place to rest and play. They implies polarized programs both above and below. This influence could be significant, but also can be ignored easily.

(SOMETHING) The space is only meaningful for people uses it frequently. Underground and dim, people of the community go through the small changing rooms before swimming, and rise with concrete stair case as warm up, which makes it ritual.

The space frame structure employs spindle shaped columns as reinforcement between ceiling and curve floor. The section shape and the reflective chrome coating minimizes the visual impact those columns cause on the transparency within the volume. The locations of the columns are scattered, making the columns not only reinforcing the structure but also spatially divided the pool into different areas. 92

Public housing should be developed economically comfortable. Prefabrication has been proved a good way to reduce cost. This project tries to explore what is the implication of different range of prefabrication and unconventional material in public housing. By reducing the pre-fabricated part into more basic building component while treating the assembly of houses as also a form of pre-fabricated units, the comfort both interior and in courtyard is achieved.

The aggregation of buildings treats the building as a certain pre-made components and tries to accomplish more even yet functional distribution of light and public space. Different courtyard is created by putting buildings into checker pattern. Access to sunlight is also secured though the change in the height.

The porches of the units opens up the corners of the courtyards, allowing more transparency in the public space. View penetration is possible on the ground level from the street to the landscape at the back of the project.

For light industrial buildings that are going to be rented to small businesses, a separation between clean and dirty, heavy and light, fabrication and design, is need. The design is intended to provide double high lofts with a very flexible mezzanine system to these small companies. The extreme lightness and flexibility that can be modified by only 2 people is accommodated by a compact system of waffle slab accommodates all HVAC needs. ARCHITECTURAL TECH V / TECH 2014 SPRING A.

BUILDING MASS

In the light industrial building, the tenant space is rent by modules of two stories. By integrating all the systems in a thick primary concrete waffle slab, the secondary floor can be so thin and flexible that two skilled labor can change the layout of the office in days. Floor panels of secondary 115

floor are hang from the primary floor using posts. Two posts are need per structural bay. Module of the secondary floor is determined by the waffle grid of the primary floor, which also determine the grid of light, sprinkler, air system. The long core in the center allow shear force distribute

evenly. Shear walls are at the center and the end of the core, which allows the separation walls between structural bays can be demolished. It also facilitate thin slab along the corridor to accommodate ducts and plumbing. Electrically driven shading system reflects the change inside the building

CONFIGURATION The structure of the mezzanine hang from the hanger system buried in the waffle slab system. High strength aluminum framing allows large span and small cantilever. Based on certain rules, the intermediate floor can be configured almost freely. 1. Each mezzanine has to have at least two hangers. 2. For coding reasons the area of the mezzanine can not cover more than half of the floor below. 3. Frame is not limited to the example unit size. Each square shape unit can be leased individually, allowing future expansion

CONSTRUCTION The honeycomb infill of the mezzanine slab requires minimum labor to operate. Two person can easily install and uninstall any panels. The size of the panels are designed to be carried in carts in the corridor. The sequence of installing is: 1. Consult the supervisor for advice of post locations of your design and request materials; 2. Attach posts to the waffle slab at required location 3. Framing; 4. Hooking removable stairs to the frame; 5. Finishing with the panels. 116

In this project, the functionality of a portal to a courtyard is not the priority. By reducing the support of this 10 feet high huge wooden interactive sculpture, the appearance and the movement of the project become as abstract as the location pins on Google map. As the first thing to see when coming out from one of the school entrances, this operable “pin” is not the locational symbol for the courtyard behind Avery, making entering the courtyard more ritual.

Mechanisms: By combining the Hoberman Off-Center Scissor Mechanism and Origami technique, we created a customized cladding system over the iris structure that has 3 dimensional transformation.
