INTRODUCTION: Subtractive Concrete

Subtractive concrete was investigation into creation of void space through removal of found object. In this scheme, paper was used as formwork, where concrete was poured over. Removal of formwork (paper) was also great interest in this investigation. Paper was set on fire in order to be removed. Because paper was densely packed in order to maintain its form as concrete was poured, various methods to remove paper was further investigated. Due to its lack of structural stabilty with moisture, material tend to cave in.

REMOVAL OF MASS: Dense Brown Paper

mia miyoung kang

Subtractive concrete with dense brown paper mateiral was investigation into creation of void space through use of found material that was inserted and pulled from concrete after concrete has been poured. Rigidity of formwork was studied through density of packed material through folding and twisting. It was stronger form work than that of earlier iteration with paper. Void/ occupiable space was able to be created. However, due to its density, it was diffi cult to remove form work. It was also ignited, however, it had diffi culty in overall removal.

REMOVAL OF MASS: Earth

In order to dive further into subtractive concrete through removal of mass, I’ve decided to look into materials that could be easily removed and readily available.

Natural material, such as soil and trees were used as form work. Study of its natural resting state of material was observed first followed by accentuating form/ structure to create stablity. Four diff erent formwork was studied through density of packed material through packing and mix of material with clay. It resulted in structually stable inhabitable space and objects. left

Digital Modeling and Fabrication for Industrial Design of Sustainable, Ecologically Sensitive/Informed Products (Visual Representation Seminar)

We looked at sail manufacturers to identify a viable waste or discarded material. Visiting Haarstick Sailmakers in Rochester, we were shown the manufacturing process for making a sail. The process involves: sail cloth testing, CNC cutting, and stitching. Through this process, the main waste product is offcuts of sailcloth from the initial cutting, however, the offcuts were often very small pieces—at largest 3 x 2 ft. As we were told, the manufacturers themselves try to make use of offcuts to make duffel bags, but this process proved to be too labor intensive and therefore, the majority of the material is thrown away and not recycled in any way.

Sails wear down through use and are generally considered obsolete when they lose a certain amount of rigidity. In the wind, the sails are exposed to constant distributed wind load, so the stretching and wear to the sail is likewise distributed. Tears and rip are repairable, but a sail which has loosened too much becomes less effective and thus thrown away. Discarded sails are worn but are still usable as a material considering their high performance qualities. Sailcloth is very durable, performs very well in tension, and is often very lightweight.

Our initial invest gation into the sailcloth, promoted futher interested in Polyethylene terephthalate—otherwise known as PET. We were

We were also shown the various types of sailcloth, each with specific performance qualities. The most common sailcloth is called Dacron (Polyethylene terephthalate), which is intended for casual and long term use, as it is relatively heavyweight and is resistant to UV. The higher-end sailcloths are intended for racing. These materials are super lightweight and are composed of multiple materials, in-

cluding kevlar and carbon fiber, in weave patterns. All the materials have given tensile strength properties, but vary in moisture resistance, and UV resistance. They also greatly vary in price, from $10/ yd to $30/yd or more.

STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS: Connections & Parts

2013

Our design concept came from our initial interest in wasted sailcloth.

We sought to take advantage of the high tensile strength and lightweight qualities of the material. In a similar use as the materials original design intention, we decided to use the cloth as a basis for designing a collapsible/transportable wind turbine with the thought that it could be easily shipped and set up as a means of providing power in post-disaster locations. Set up in key locations, a series of these turbines could provide power for a large amount of people for necessities such as charging phones or other helpful electronics that could be of aid.

interested in PET because it is greatly recycled, and is noticeably much stronger than many other plastics. As bottles and other food containers are commonly made from PET, there is a large amount of post-consumer waste available. We wanted a material with the possibility of being somewhat flexible while retaining strength, largely available, and highly recycleable. The versitility of PET allows.

ASSIGNMENT 02: Sidewalk Shooting

ASSN 2A: set up a NYC composition and set up a tripod. shoot (at least) 40 images over (at least) 3 hours. changes in time and light should be evident in these shots, so choose a time such as sunrise or sunset to capture the most dynamic light changes. camera settings (focal length) and tripod location and height should be recorded. compose and present these images in a single image that shows time as a gradient.

ASSN 2B: create a single image compositing your photos of the site that contains no people

ASSN 2C: create a single image with a narrative of people, time and light, taken from several of the images. consider the lighting in this image, and how and where shadows are falling, people are stepping, etc.

ASSN 2D: using the information recorded about the camera settings and tripod height the images were shot with, create a 3D model with a matching camera in 3D studio max. in the space of this camera, render planes. in photoshop, create alpha channels for these planes. let each one of these channels become a masks for your photos, and layer these elements together into a visual collage.

ASSIGNMENT 03: Derivatives: Oliver Boberg + Philip-Lorca DiCorcia

ASSN 3A - compose and shoot photos that emulate the lighting and composition demonstrated in the work of Oliver Boberg and Philip Lorca DiCorcia. 12 total photos, 6 emulating the work of each artist.

ASSN 3B: find a site, or revisit one from 3A, in order to create 2 images of the exact same composition, one in the style of PLD, one in the style of OB. ASSN 3C: material library on site, photograph all materials in the scene. take orthagonal shots of all surfaces, and create tiled, non repetitive square jpgs for each material. take contextual shots from within your scene so that you have visual information for reflections you create in 3D.

ASSN 3D: interventions in virtual space (3D max or other) match the camera from assignment 3B. create an intervention within your scene which changes the landscape of the site. use the material library (3C) to map scene materials onto the object(s) you create. render these objects and composite them into the scene for your OB derivative image.

ASSN 3E: narrative sketch a narrative for your PLD shot that incorporates the intervention. make decisions about where people will be situated, and how they will be interacting with your intervention. carefully consider how light will be used to tell a story, how it will coincide/compliment/contrast the lighting of the scenes. capture images of choreographed people by shooting them in studio with orchestrated lighting, and begin to composite foreign elements into the scene, in the style of PLD. 2012

This lab is designed to teach you how to visualize climate data and how to access climatic data sets for use in both visualization and building and site analysis. We are going to do a comparative analysis of climate. Therefore we need to pick two locations to

look at. One will be a location you are familiar with – use your hometown. If you can’t find weather data for the exact location, pick somewhere nearby. The second location will be a different place that has a very different climate.

2) subsystems (components)

3) time scale Often, the boundaries of a system are chosen arbitrarily in order to produce a continuous “control volume� for a model. Define a control volume and the inputs (sources), outputs (sinks) and internal processes and subsystems, in the notation of Odum for one of the following: a. your person b.

LAB 03: Solar Geometry 1 – The Gnomon

Lab 3 begins the process of understanding solar geometry, shadows and shading. The first part of the assignment is relatively straightforward. Your task is to build a Gnomon that we will be using to test shadowcasting and shading techniques described in class.

hong yeol in

The gnomon is the part of a sundial that casts the shadow. Gnomon is an ancient Greek word meaning “indicator”, “one who discerns,” or “that which reveals.” It has come to be used for a variety of purposes in mathematics and other fields.

LAB 02: Climate Data Visualization

Use one of the locations that you chose for your climate analysis. Your goal is to try and describe how the climate will change in this location over the next sixty or so years.

1. First use the IPCC AR4 data sets to take a look at what different models predict will happen to your particular location. You will have to choose how to look at the data, which scenarios to use, and which models to pull data from.

Please look at least two variables (temperature and rainfall, for example).

2. Second, search the web for finer grain data for your area. See if you can find predictions of what will happen according to these data sets. Ask yourself – when were the forecasts made? Do they agree with the latest model runs contained in the relatively new 4th assessment report? Keep in mind that you may not find much specific data for some places.

To explore the idea of a monument to Cold War victory, the project began with two important questions; where exactly is the ideological conflict occurring, and how can the experience of an ideological conflict be exploited to memorialize the Cold War? The answers to these questions are multifaceted and complex. This, in part, is due to the visual lexicon of Cold War imagery having been so widely absorbed into contemporary culture that it now reads as either an aesthetic misnomer, such as in advertising, or is attached to a Cold War iconography that is framed in terms of destruction and kitsch. On the contrary, a monument to the Cold War should be striking and thought-provoking, evocative of the strange cycle of history, and indicative of the fact that notions of victory are largely defined by the collective psychology of the populace.

The objective of the scheme is to utilize the imagery of the Cold War, namely the visual propaganda that has become so prevalent, in order to reframe the conflict in contemporary terms and accomplish the reintroduction of ideological propaganda into the public consciousness. An important concept is the notion of public vs. private space (drawing on how the two opposing systems that fought conflict interpreted these notions) and how utilizing private space in a place like New York City influences the psychological power of ideological propaganda. Through this exploration and the introduction of Cold War signifiers into the architectural realm, unique notions of victory are evoked and induced in the minds of the viewers.

The manifestation of the scheme visually articulates these ideas as photographs of iconic propaganda projected in light onto architectural surfaces, and into the urban architectural spaces of Manhattan. While contemporary propaganda is largely broadcast through new media such as the Internet and online social networks, the

iconographic nature of this project harkens back to the legacy of the Cold War in the complex material, social, and cultural forms of signification and indexicality that the traditional idea of a monument still clings to. On the other hand, the medium used challenges those notions. If a monument is not a permanent and grandeur gesture but rather a temporal and intimate one, it better reflects the true nature of the Cold War conflict and the effect upon the victims of the War. The projected images attempt to break down the traditional, formal structure of the monument in order to redefine the way one addresses the introduction of propaganda into everyday life.

The link between Soviet propaganda and the city of New York is rooted in fascinating and little known history. The Soviet aesthetic, both in architecture and propaganda translated into print, was inspired directly by Stalin’s fascination with lower Manhattan in the early 1930’s. In particular, Stalin saw McKim, Mead and Whites’ Municipal Building, 1914, as an example of how the entirety of the Soviet Union could be rebuilt. Stalinist architecture refined these forms, originally the result of New York’s 1916 Zoning Resolution, and often placed a mark of Soviet propaganda such as an image or icon at the apex of such structures. Stalin would eventually commence his ambition to construct the ideal Soviet city through his commissioning of ‘The Seven Sisters’ skyscrapers of Moscow in the 1940’s and 1950’s.

This project, a monument to Cold War victory, reintroduces and reinforces the tie between propaganda and the architecture of New York through the simple yet striking introjections of iconic imagery, projected onto the apex of ordinary buildings. Consequently, the outcome is arresting and provocative, reminiscent of the strange cycle of history, and indicative of the fact that indeed a retroactive commemoration utilizing propaganda has the power to alter collective psychology and the consensus for victory.

Ink Ice

A visitor encounters an object. An object unlike any others he/she has seen before. As visitor approach the object, he/ she feels the coldness of its energy being exuded into the atmosphere. With curiosity, the visitor approaches the object and places his/her body near its dense charcoal black ice surface, where he could only sense the silent solitude. Within its silence, visitor drifts into deep thought… As the time pass, the object slowly melts away into its surrounding, where once foreign, becomes part of ‘whole’. Other visitors, similar to one before, join the object. As visitors emerge to observe this powerful silent object, they become part of the ‘whole’. Their meandering footsteps marked with residue from the object migrate near by leaving imprint on the ground… More time pass, the object has slowly transformed. As its original solid charcoal black ice form diminish, its liquid counterpart emerge leaving black imprint on the ground. The object has vanished, and a space for imagination is all that remains. A visitor encountered an object. An object unlike any other he/she has seen before.

The Cold War and its events have left a significant legacy in the United States and Russia. With its ‘non-physical’ existence of the war, Monument of Cold War Victory is created as abstract form as an expression of hope for peace in the state of mind for those directly involved in The War and those who were greatly influenced. As the ice slowly transform from solid to liquid it will eventually leave imprint on the paper that lie underneath the ice. The abstract symbols vanished, and imprinted print for imagination is all that remains. The remaining imprinted print takes on new form of life and meaning as a form of existence of the event. Through this abstract symbol, visitors become ‘one’ with Cold War and simultaneously

find sense of peace and tranquility as the ice transform. Once thought as ‘War’ now is transformed into peace and victory in the minds of beholder.

INSTALLATION Ink ice is to be installed at Union Square in NY and Red Square in Moscow both as an important intersection, a place of unity. It is allowed to melt under the sun and wind. As the ice fights for its survival, it surrenders to its warming surrounding.

Sense of negotiation emerges through conflict. Depending on the atmospheric temperature, ice will melt at various rates, leaving different imprint on the paper that lie underneath the ice. As visitors interact with ice and surrounding liquid ice ink, they will also contribute to the outcome of the imprint. The abstract symbol of ice vanishes but the remaining imprinted paper is left for imagination, a symbol of peace and victory.

INK ICE The ice block is in the form of plinth and tower, symbolizing the structure once dominated by Russia borrowed by rest of the world. Ice is made from smoke ink of various densities.

As the temperature warm up, the staked ice plinth and tower melt into its context, dissolving into pools of still dark water.

As days go by, the solid entity will disappear, the residue left behind are only ink imprint on the ground. The original trace to plinth and tower is still visible with overlay of unpredicted imprint of ink, surrounding, and atmosphere. The abstract symbols vanished, and a space for imagination is all that remains. A symbol of peace and victory remains.

Monument to Cold War Victory : Fictional Underground

The proposal for the Cold War Victory Monument locates the commemoration site at a fictional underground space which used to operate as be the cold war missile launch site. It is invisible, but powerful just like the hidden power of cold war.

War, that it was a hidden power in the past (1st image), then forgotten by during the development time (2nd image), and eventually, it may be revealed to the public in the future (3rd image).

Since Cold War was not an official war between the United States and the Soviet Union; therefore, the victory of the war remains uncertain and has never been clarified. A monument is always built to represent the victory or commemorate the victims; however, in terms of the Cold War, the result has never been known. The proposed monument is for neither the US nor the Soviet Union, but to represent the fact of the Cold

The first image represents the past of Cold War while both the above ground and underground are for military use; in the second image the above ground is the image of its economic development while the underground space is being forgotten by people just like Cold War. The third image shows the idea that Cold War may finally revealed to the public, just as the space can be claimed for public use like a station or an exhibition.
