Modulee. R15 Module. R 15
Berlin’s rapidly expanding urban professional population is in need of place of to live within the city. Module.R15 is a series of modular apartments that seek to redensify urban Berlin through rooftop extensions on existing buildings. Utilizing the existing structural grid of 3.6m, we were able to rationalize a grid that extrudes spaces to create a series of modular spatial experiences that are pushed and pulled to be responsive to environmental forces. Thus creating a kit of units that are interesting as well as energy efficient.
SITE:
Berlin-Friedrichshain, Stralauer Allee, Berlin, Germany The site was located in Berlin-Friedrichshain, Stralauer Allee. However, the developed typologies could be applied to hundreds of prefab housing blocks throughout the city. This project focuses on prefabricated modular units that utilize the 3.60 meter grid of the existing building. The long rectangular shape utilizes the North-South winds for ventilation, and large operable windows to maximize sunlight and views. The faces of the units are push and pulled to create distinct apartments and provide various spaces such as balconies and shading systems. The units are designed for semi-permanent stay tenants, in response to the influx of incoming tourists and temporary work related clients in Berlin. The roofs of the units connect together to offer the inhabitants of the existing building with a green space for Urban Farming.

SITE:

The cafe, multi-purpose center and museum/ library are integrated into the unique site conditions of Audubon Terrace as three volumes that connect to the three elevation changes from the plaza, the terrace and the street level. The cafe on the plaza level is more public so it is more open and transparent, whereas the library/ museum is more private so it is more opaque. A urban stair links the 30 feet drop from the street to Audubon Terrace and provides access to each volume. We also explored inherent geometries that can be created by brick, such as arches, circle, and vaults, to create different structural and lighting conditions. The roof is created by variations of a 9 groin vaults to provide natural light into the space from the top.

The site is located in the corner of W128th Street and Convent Avenue. It has difficult site conditions where it is located at the corner of a block, it slopes in two directions and there is only two street fronts. The residential building is designed in a radical way to maximize the street views and the light in the apartments, while creating a welcoming threshold into the building. As one enters the door, the space is dark. But it transitions to an atrium that is filled with natural light. Bacground Photo by Young Do Yoo

PROGRAMS USED: -Rhino -Illustrator -Photoshop
SITE
Grand Central Terminal, New York, NY, USA In our analysis of Grand Central Terminal, we studied circulation, ventilation and structure. To us, it is a place that houses the ever-changing energy and movement. Thus, we were interested in visible flows of people and invisible flow of air, and their relationship with structure. Structure plays a role of facilitating these flows. It is a constant element that create different paths. From understanding these different layers of Grand Central, we begin to get a better understanding of it as a whole.

Vanderbilt Hall, Grand Central Terminal, New York, NY, USA
Vanderbilt Hall of Grand Central Terminal was formerly designed as a waiting area, but it was no longer needed used as the trains became more efficient. My intervention is to activate the Vanderbilt Hall. The complementary colors, orange and blue, are used to symbolize the form of ventilation. Each colored form gives a different perspective of the space. When two spaces overlap each other, the colors cancel out to become colorless allowing people to have another new way to view spaces.

SITE:
First Green Park, New York, NY, USA
We had to design an artist residence/ studio in First Street Green Culture Park. Since we are creating a private space in a public part, my project used transparency and opacity to create different levels of intimacy. Color is also used to indicate the different spaces. For instance, the orange area is the main gallery for public; the blue area is the office; the yellow is the dark room and the green is residency.

The concrete structure serves as the platform and the ramp. At the same time, the walls also allow visual artists to display their artworks. The form of this structure allows people to circulate in park with ease, as they can walk on top of the ramp, which slowly elevates up to the main platform or they can quickly exit by taking the staircase inside the concrete structure

Spring 2013 l Communications Workshop II Professor Johanna Dickson
SITE:
FORT WASHINGTON PARK, NEW YORK, NY, USA
Cloud cover is measured by units of zero to nine oktas, zero is clear and nine is when the sky obscured by clouds. When people measure cloud cover, they usually have a two by four grid mirror placed on the ground. It inspired to my weather station to have a four by four grid reflected on a water pool to measure the cloud cover. It creates a unique relationship between people and clouds., where people look down to observe the clouds.

My project is about creating a force of attraction that result in specific pathways. These pathways, then, becomes the visible boundary for the spherical volume.

A path is a means for traveling from one place to others. In my project, paths are not designed to control people’s movement, instead people can choose their own paths. Each approach takes people into a different space. The colors, navy blue and orange, are meant to affect people’s experiences through the passages.

“USING SEA LEVEL RISE TO CREATE A BLORACK CITY” In Collaboration with Vionna Wai I Young Do Yoo I Sarwat Yunus
PROGRAMS USED: -Rhino -Photoshop -Illustrator -Lumion -AutoCad
Overall View
SITE:
ANY SHORELINE The rising sea level is engulfing the existing shorelines and destroying the homes of its inhabitants. Our vision is to use this rise of the sea level to combat the issues that it creates. We are looking towards the life cycle of barnacles that attach themselves to the shore, typically in shallow and tidal waters, and continue growing – with the intention of creating a self-sustaining system that also heals the damage we have already caused to the environment. We are proposing a mega-structure that starts at the shallow waters, as do the barnacles, and keep growing. Each unit of our ‘barnacle’ is designated one program, such as housing, public space, etc. We can potentially connect them at the bottom to allow for circulation from one unit to the other, and obviously dock would be necessary for transportation by boats.

Building Material- Mineral Accretion Process
Our procedure would involve creating a metal structural frame for our faux barnacles and running low voltage through the waters so that electrolysis occurs and carbonates deposit on the structure. This creates ‘Biorocks’ (brucrite) which is used to revive coral reefs.
Carbon Capture
Our aim is to create magnesium hydroxide (brucrite) deposit, which is easily converted to the much stronger magnesium carbonate as the brucrite absorbs carbon dioxide. This means that the structure not only gets stronger as it grows but captures the carbon dioxide in the air acting as a carbon sink. In addition, the process of the carbonate deposit releases oxygen into the water, hence promoting healthy marine ecology. 1. Solar-Powered Electricity

Today society is very fast pace;we rarely stop during our travels to a given destination, howerer, there is a space where we must yield and wait, this place becomes a temporary space of habitation. The area we were concerned with during our analysis of Houston Street was the crosswalk stops at intersectons. This location can subconsciously change our coarse of direction and ultimately our destination, just from the change in cross singnals. In this location we become comfortable, our actions rhythmic, many stop and finish a meal disposing of the remains in the waist barrels, other view this area as aplace to mark their territory or post their art with graffiti, stickers and posters.
