During my studies, first during my undergraduate program at the University of Virginia School of Architecture, and later at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, I was continuously challenged and pushed by my professors, classmates and curriculum. Every project presented me with a set of problems spanning creative to technical. The scope of my projects required examining, analyzing, understanding and innovating upon contemporary notions of design. Throughout my endeavors I created new strategies for addressing problems, and examined them against baseline standards. It was through this process that I discovered and developed a new jumping off point for design. By placing a heavy emphasis on the environmental quantitative analysis (the final spreadsheet results) as well as its qualitative possibilities (the experience of the user), progressive solutions to problems common in the built environment emerged. As a result, my education has instilled in me a responsibility to synthesize these two lenses into a new comprehension of “design.”

INTRODUCTION

Between my undergraduate and graduate studies, I spent a year with a general contractor in Washington, D.C. There, I led operations in the field that I had only previously seen as renderings on paper or viewed on a computer screen. Gaining a firsthand understanding of the technicalities of construction (how concrete is poured, how steel is erected, how stone and glass are incorporated) broadened my perspective of the built world.

Before starting graduate school, I returned to design.

There, my work ranged from the renovation of the Department of Treasury building to planning the creation of a platform over the city’s main railyard for future development.

Due to these distinctly different types of exposure in work experience, in construction and design, I have a perspective of both sides of the project table and a distinct appreciation for the commitment that the practice of architecture demands. Just as importantly, these experiences have taught me how to work, and be a successful leader, as a contributing member in an organization.

It is from this perspective that I think and design.

The work in this portfolio marks the beginning steps in my career as I continue to develop my interests and explore possibilities.

limatologists track specific conditons that include storm development, tropical temperatures, polar ice melting, rain fall quantities, pollution, pollen density, etc. Because of the nature of their work and the need for systematic monitoring, work shifts are long and require attentive and intense observation.

Measurement allows us to understand relations: our body in relation to the enviornment around us, the proximity to objects, the reactions to threatening actions, the thickness of walls, the vulnerbility of weather, etc. This project explores the volumetric differential between claustrophobic and efficient work environments. A workspace is designed of minimal size for a Hudson River Climatologist whose job is to monitor and measure riverbed data. The very humane relationship between the occupant and the pod is considered through degrees of interiority-exteriority, material, and structure through sectional analysis.

Statue of Liberty

In his 2004 “State of the State” Address, NY Governor Pataki set the ambitious goal of making the Hudson River suitable for swimming from its source in the Adirondacks down to Manhattan by 2009 - the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s voyage up the River. To ensure that the river is reaching safe swimming levels at it’s terminus, New York Harbor, the Hudson Climatologist spends 12 hour shifts out on the river, monitoring and measuring the PCB levels found in the soil he dredges up from the riverbed and from fish that he catches in the waterway. Meticulously charting the Hudson, from the George Washington Bridge to the Statue of Liberty, the climatologist eats, sleeps and works within the cell.

Line, plane, surface and volume are mathematically bonded and interrelated.

In architecture, the geometrical properties of the line are associated with columns and beams, the plane with walls and floors, and surface and volume with resultant space.

Architecture allows us to understand the mathematical relations of these elements in new and unexpected ways. This project explores these relationships while tackling the issues of a changing climate and its potential impact to the island of Manhattan:

New York City has close to 600 miles of coastline, and four of its five boroughs are on islands. All this makes New York especially prone to global warming’s most dramatic effects. Sea levels have been rising along the East Coast for thousands of years, in part because of the natural sinking of the land. However, in the last several decades, scientists have concluded that part of the rise can be attributed to global warming. Water at the Battery has risen more than a foot during the last century. Although sea levels in the New York area are projected to edge up several inches more by 2050, that’s not what most worries experts. Coastal storms, including northeasters, tropical storms and hurricanes, greatly affects New York City. In fact, New York’s densely populated and highly developed coastline makes the city among the most vulnerable to hurricane-related damage.

The site sits in the flood plain and is adjacent to the Holland Tunnel Exhaust Tower on Canal Street and the West Side Highway.

The air lab is able to meet the inevitable rising tides by creating series of NGP’s (New Ground Planes) that are able to keep the building functional and accessible in a variety of extreme weather conditions.

museum (of delineation) The Museum of Delineation / MOD, is a museum for

both the arts, production and tools of deliniation. MOD collects, exhibits and educates the public on all manner of linear representations both analog and digital.

MOD contains both flexible and permanent galleries for works ranging in scale and content. Working within the multi-scalar framework of Micro/Meso/ Macro Delineation the focus is on the Meso (the scale inbetween where micro and macro meet). Although it is the interface between micro and macro, the Meso scale is in itself measurable. It is a framework that the foundation of (bio)diversity scales time and structures and links structures to performances. Like drawing, digital technology is transforming the arts of design and construction. Museums reflect the integration of design, construction, environmental controls (light and temperature) and multi-scalar structuring. At the scale of the objects, this includes technologies of display, storage and archiving. This project explores what a modern museum must address:

The access to the site is at the confluence of two axis. In a rare New York moment, Prince Street ends abruptly at a dead end. As a visitor approaches from the west, more of the MOD is revealed as one nears the Bowery. Taking advantage of this view corridor, the building allows the street to “continue� through the site. The museum is comprised from the concepts consisting of structural, programmatic, and perspectival experiences of the space attenuated and extended within the space tubes. The reading of this is further linked into the idea of the project site as an extension of Prince Street.

The extruded tubes, both their interior gallery spaces and the voids that they form are linked together to create a variety of gallery and exhibition spaces. By stacking these “streets,” a relationship between perspectival views and connections are made both within and outside the museum. The path through the museum is linked together by an interwoven structure that emerges and disappears as the visitor progresses through the galleries. By being able to stand in, on top of and next to these volumetric spaces, a variety of space becomes available to museum, enabling many different types of applications and uses. The journey of the visitor, through the museum is comprised of with moments of pause and movement, the mundane and the memorable.

With a focus on issues central to post-war housing in the U.S. including the rise of the suburban model, mass production, commuting, and relationships of housing to economic markets as well as government intervention, the studio proposes new forms of housing that are simultaneously local in scale, but also designed with a deep awareness of New York City, national and global issues.

Architecture is “a plunge into social relations.”

Nowhere within architecture is the materialization of social relations more prevalent than in the planning, design, and construction of housing.

Analyzing our society’s social relations backwards through its housing stock, and here we speak mainly of single-family tract housing, produces a reading that is wasteful, environmentally destructive, socially alienating, and aggressively protective.

In Queens, NY (the city’s most populated borough) is it not possible to develop in a way that addresses energy and land use, a problem which is now directly accountable for over 20% of Americans annual greenhouse gas emissions? Simply consolidating a set of housing resources could considerably reduce our emissions. By clustering apartment units around a shared space consisting of kitchens, laundry, and social facilities, we propose a development that lowers its environmental impact significantly, while fostering a new sense of “community.”

The global financial crisis was in part created by overwhelming optimism, irresponsible housing finance and the irresistible desire to own a bigger house to house more and bigger things. In the face of these pressures, shouldn’t we conceive of development strategies that mediate economic, personal and environmental concerns?

At the Hunter’s Point South site in Queens, toxic soil would prevent us from responsibly developing the site. A sensitive approach using plants to bioremediate the site would indeed take nearly 30 years, but would provide the opportunity for the site to develop according to its needs over time rather than develop for a “projected future.”

These problems are holistically linked. The housing, economic, and environmental crises of today are all tied together by an endless cycle of consuming and the desire to consume. It is our desire to pose the question: Can new organizations in housing empower us to stop consuming so much? Can we, as architects, propose an architecture that is conducive to new social arrangements, appropriate for confronting the challenges that face us?

A set of structures is proposed in this project that encourages:

:: environmental stewardship, :: community building, :: and a new reading of what it means to be a “homeowner.”

The proposal also addresses the following ::

Phytoremediation consists of mitigating pollutant concentrations in contaminated soils, water, or air, with plants able to contain, degrade, or eliminate metals, pesticides, solvents, explosives, crude oil and its derivatives.

Phytoremediation is considered a clean, costeffective and non-environmentally disruptive technology, as opposed to mechanical cleanup methods such as soil excavation or pumping polluted groundwater.

:: view of common space Each cluster comprised of 8 -10 apartment units (1BR, 2BR and 3BR) is linked to a double height common space that houses kitchen and laundry facilities.

These communal spaces remove the redundancies and waste that are inherent in housing today. Through the concentration of kitchen and laundry facilities, a new way of living and social interaction is proposed and promoted.

Outriggers, built during initial construction, are a proactive measure to allow for the exapansion of units in a controlled, systematic way.

A 12’ x 12’ concrete framework forms the structure of Phase 1 to occupy the river front and property line closet to Long Island City, leaving the interior open for remediation.

The structure’s outriggers allow for future, unanticipated growth. Each cluster is 3 stories high served by a core on the north sice (preserving light and air for the douuble heighted south facing common rooms).

Central to each cluster is a common room containg the kitchen and main living room space of the 8 units it serves.

A steel truss forms the structure of Phase 2 to span the site from Phase 1 on the river to phase 1 adjacent to the city. The interior of the site is left open for remediation during Phase 2 construction and occupation. Again, each cluster is 3 stories high served by a central corridor linking the cores at each end which are extensions of the phase 1 cores built 20 years earlier. By wrapping around the corridor, each unit benefits from both northen and southern exposures.

PHASE 03 :: “INFILL CLUSTER” COMPLETION DATE: 2050 UNITS: 2,000 // (SITE TOTAL: 5,000)

Stick built, Phase 3 infills the site with density as the land is no longer toxic.

Occupying both the ground and roofs of Phase 1, Phase 3 is the final installment on the site. Light and easy to build, the stick built phase takes on a different quality than the concrete and steel buildings of Phase 1 and 2. Clusters vary in height depending on need and location but employ the centralized kitchen which serve several units.

WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE...WHAT IT DOES

ARCHITECTURAL METAPHORS In architecture today, it seems that everything goes

and anything is possible: Buildings are inspired by bird nests, flowers, sails, etc. The semester was an investigation into the use of “extreme” nonarchitectural analogies or metaphors (starting with historical examples using elephants, ducks, etc.)

The endeavor was analyzed critically. How can design benefit society, how can it accelerate change? At a time when speed is of the essence (cell phones and the Internet were not ubiquitous twenty years ago), how does architecture catch up and induce change?

Architecture makes a difference. Can we contribute?

How? An architecture of resistance or an architecture of acceleration?

Using the metaphor of corn, an assembly of architectural components may inform a new system for generating urban environments. Its composition, simultaneously organic and organized, is the device that provides the mechanism in which spatial and human interactions are intertwined & interchangable at the scale of the building, the block, and the town.

NEW HOUSING for the 'NEW OLD ' The studio focused on two specific aspects of a smallscale New Town development for 10,000 residents in Daejang-dong, Bundang, South Korea: 1) design of 100-150 unit residential complex in a valley; 2) “specialization” strategy for the New Town. Working closely with the developer, The Museum, to brainstorm with and against Samsung C&T Corporation’s typical development and “specialization” strategy. The studio operated within the practical constraints of the housing market, yet were specifically invited by a visionary developer to challenge the norm, imagine and innovate from within:

With the changes, current and projected, occuring in the aging population (2 in every 5 Koreans will be over 65 by 2050), this project is a proposal on how to take into account the transformations of a society aging both in its people and infrastructure and put in place a plan that can result in a new type of development model.

A model that meets the present conditions while also taking into account projected trends, and new values that will inevitably occur in a changing society.

A ‘kit of parts’ allows the occupant to expand, and contract, their home to meet demands and respond to changing family needs. Each unit is designed to expand individually to the north and south elevations (2,3 in diagram above) and eventually join together (4 detailed on page 45). The unit is built initially to support such expansion and when the space is no longer neccessary or desired, the unit can easily be reverted back to any previous condition

In the suburban typology of the valley lies an opportunity to create interaction zones, seclusion zones, indoor / outdoor, adjacent but seperate, together.

Where the units join, lies an opportunity to foster a kind of interaction - one that is dictated by the homeowner and accounted for by the initial design and construction.

LIBRARY ON THE POTOMAC A

site on the Potomac River in the heart of Old Town Alexandria is the setting for a ‘21st century’ library.

Old Town’s busy King Street, lined with shops and restaurants runs East-West before ending at the Potomac River. The site is located in between a public park to the South, the renovated Torpedo Factory Art Gallery and Waterfront Plaza to the North. From the waterfront piers that extend into the river, a view of the monument core of downtown Washington, D.C. can be seen. It is at these crossroads that a new library is proposed.

serties of study models utilizing shifting floors to manipulate light :: The 9 degree shift of the upper floor is explicitly exploited to control the natural light on all floors flooding the reading rooms with sunlight, while protecting the stacks located in the middle. The ground floor facade respects the historical context of Old Town Alexandria. A connection is made back to the river by channeling it into the site along the park to the north park and at the plaza entrance at the foot of King Street.

Circulation, light and existing views drove the form.

The library engages the site by allowing movement through the building, connecting two public spaces along the waterfront. Light is manipulated and controlled through the geometry of the plan. The first floor follows the grid of Alexandria. The upper floors are angled to allow for the natural light to slip into the spaces below. The main reading rooms take advantage of park and river views and become transparent. The edges facing the exisiting context of Old Town respect their brick and masonry neighbors. Programmatic elements that require less natural light are placed in these areas.

1:2 scale light study model

At night, the Library becomes a lantern on the Potomac River. The reading rooms are oriented to overlook the adjacent park and frame views of the Maryland shoreline across the river. A Tower, located at the end of King Street marks the main entrance into the library. From its deck, views north to Washington D.C. engage one with the region. The existing shoreline river walk is uninterrupted by the library and allows pedestrians and library patrons to pass through the site and structure.

BOAT BUILDING WORKSHOP A

Boat Building School is proposed to build wooden boats, provide instructional classroom space and the ability to launch them into the James River. The spaces are large enough to rig a 30’ sailboat inside.

A series of work bays with sliding doors and roofs allow for numerous configurations depending on the project and weather.

The school is aligned with the River Walk Boardwalk that has been extended into the the water. Numerous boats can be constructed and and launched. The light framework of the boat building bays is juxtaposed with the heavy classroom spaces. An additional elevated public pathway through the structure allows public access to observe activites while not interrupting work.

Spring 2006:: University of Virginia Edward Ford :: 12 weeks

:: site chosen on the island at the convergence of two main axis on the SE corner. The prominent location allowed for the immediate launching of boats, directly from the work space into the bay

FORT MONROE, HAMPTON ROADS,VA

:: early study models series exploring the interaction of large, open plan, work bay spaces and smaller, module classroom instruction areas

:: study models addressing the site

Fort Monroe is located where the James River meets the Chesapeake Bay at the southernmost tip of the eastern Virginia Peninsula. Formerly dedicated with the task of standing guard to the bay, today the Fort is the scene of tourists, bikers, runners and sailors. The site I chose on the island is at the confluence of the James River and the Atlantic Ocean. The school is strategically located at this point to maximize its visibabily and functionality.

primary intent of the building design was to generate a systematically integrated seamless series of spaces characterized by a sense of openness and ethereality. The particular aesthetic linked to such aspirations for this building typology, that of an industrial loft, is characterized by an open floor plan, continuous and unobstructed, achieved mainly by the articulation of building envelope and the structural system. The minimizing of content and context as well as the pre-established physical constraints in this case provides a scenario in which qualities of lightness, spaciousness, and material contrast are enhanced.

fter 40 years, we are ready to get back into the venture of space exploration. As technology has advanced and concerns about the future of humanity on Earth increase, some argue that space colonization is an achievable and worthwhile goal. The Moon has long been seen as a candidate for possible human settlement. Inhabiting the moon for a prolonged period of time would be far different from the initial trips taken between 1969 and 1972 when men lived up to three days in cramped quarters. However, because of the extraordinary circumstances of the Cold war, the lunar missions were undertaken on an accelerated schedule and too much happened too fast for anyone to properly appreciate what had been done and where it might have led. The space industry has changed incredibly since the intial trips and future missions to the moon, undertaken through both government programs and private industry, will have multiple purposes; scientific and (eventually) touristic.

C

As mining the moon become an increasingly real A possibility, a variety of landscapes will be left behind.

The landscapes left behind provideE an opportunity for D human habitiation to infillB the landscapes left after mining operations move on. Protected from meteorites and direct sun on two sides, the act of covering the I trench provides opportunites to bring indirect light, and power into the habitation zones hung from its structure.

photography The New Jersey Meadowlands is a general name

for the large ecosystem of wetlands in northeast New Jersey. The Meadowlands, less than ten miles from Midtown Manhattan, are known for being the site of large landfills, sports stadiums and decades of environmental abuse. The Meadowlands consist of roughly 30 square miles of open, undeveloped space. After years of abuse, the area is making a comeback and remains an important area for birds, fish, crabs and other animals. The mixture of post industrialization, vital transportation networks and nature all competing in the shadow of New York City, first brought me to explore this area and its constant change continues to interest me.

(RE) powER :: A Redevelopment Proposal for the City of Yonkers COMPETITION / HOSTED BY NYU (2011) In 2010, NYU’s Schack Institute Center for the Sustainable Built Environment held a real estate & design compeition. Teams were required to select a site and develop a comprehensive proposal for a real estate development or redevelopment project that responded to a pressing environmental and/or social concern.

A team of five GSAPP classmates in architecture, urban design and real estate found an abandoned power plant north of NYC on the Hudson River. In our proposal, we envision that the Glenwood Power Station Site in Southwest Yonkers can become a model for responsible economic, environmental and social development while benefitting the city of Yonkers, the county of Westchester and the greater New York region. Although the plan presented was specific to the site conditions, the goals and implementation of the project can serve as a model to be applied to similar decaying industrial waterfront sites located throughout the United States.

Thirty minutes from Grand Central Terminal, just north of the Bronx/Westchester border lies the Glenwood Power Station.

Between the MTA Metro-North Glenwood Station and the Hudson River in Yonkers, the power station, built in 1906 by New York Central & Hudson River Railroad, has been abadoned and unused since the 1960’s. The power station, still with its iconic twin somkestacks seen for miles around, stand as reminders of New York City’s and Yonkers’ industrial past.

As the city debates over what to do with this complex, we developed a plan that will save the historic structure, re-program its use, and connect two critical axes along the river while simultaneously reconnecting to a long ignored and cut-off community.

Ideally located at the convergence of the City’s central business district, Capitol Hill and the up-and-coming NoMa and H Street NE neighborhoods, this project will help connect the capital city’s workers, residents and visitors with each other and with the region. The site is expected to include first-class office, residential, hotel and retail uses, and includes expansions and enhancements to Daniel Burnham’s historic Union Station.

There has always been a sense of mystery that surrounds

ambition statement

the profession of architecture. The architect is perceived as someone who emerges with a plan to build something, tells others how to build it, and something is built. This something out of nothing drew me into the field and it is the invention, design and translation of ideas into physical objects that continues to motivate me.

I have always taken time for careful reflection before setting a course for myself that moves me forward towards an ultimate goal, and in the months preceding May 2011 I will undoubtedly reassess my plans. However I do know that to come to a conclusion about a decision takes more than just thought and planning. It requires knowledge, and knowledge is the result of education and experience. A look at my past experiences can be a ‘leading indicator.’ Having worked in both construction and design I can relate to both sides of the table. Clients talk about space and rooms.

Architects talk about programming and formatting. Clients talk about image. Architects talk about design statements and historical resonance. People talk about buildings.

Architects talk about architecture. Today, I feel best suited on the architecture side of the table. My time as a student, combined with my work experiences has only galvanized the fact that my passion is architecture, and perhaps just as importantly, made me aware of something that I already knew: there is so much more to learn and understand. This course and its different angle of the industry has further cemented this notion.

72

My education in architecture thus far has revealed to me how it is at once a science and an art. It demands logic, rational analysis and measurable quantifications on one hand, and intuition, willfulness, sentiment and emotion on the other. The result is one of conflict, uncertainty and confusion strung together by moments of clarity and assurances. I am constantly encouraged during this inner struggle by reminding myself that I always knew that my career in architecture would be a long journey, one that will have really just begun in May 2011.

In two years the majority of my classmates will go from architectural school to the architectural office--and I see myself no different.

The first few years of work in my internship years are still part of my formal training and vital to becoming an architect. As I reflect now, I see myself among the energetic, eager to produce, hungry for new knowledge, and unfortunately relatively inexpensive interns that I will be graduating with competing for jobs in what will hopefully be a much improved economic condition. Ideally, working for an internationally recognized architecture firm, I will have the opportunity to work alongside the industries most talented and motivated while also having a chance to travel and most importantly, acquire the necessary IDP credits. I hope that this experience will provide me with a better understanding of what the next step will be in my career: getting licensed, starting a firm, going back to school, etc.

Frank Lloyd Wright said that “noble life demands a noble architecture for noble uses of noble men. Lack of culture means what is has always meant, ignoble civilization and therefore imminent downfall.” I would like to believe that now, more than ever, this resonates. His statement implies that architecture is a noble pursuit. Encouraged by Mr. Wright that I have made a good choice, I feel that architecture, if utilized correctly by the right people i.e. developers, governments, etc., it can leave a positive impact in the world by creating better environments for people to live, work and gather in that have far reaching effects on the way people interact and do business with one another. For me to be fortunate enough to contribute to this I must use everything at my disposal to build off the foundation that I’ve already laid and the tools at my disposal here at Columbia. As we have seen in the last few months, architectural employment is highly dependent on the economy with the demand for new graduates fluctuating more from month to month than year to year. Economic uncertainty coupled with the propensity of architects to resist consensus on practically anything, particularly concerning their wallets and freedom of action make the relationship of individual firms to individual interns vital. I recognize that learning and growing within this field is my own responsibility. I realized long ago that I will always be a student of the world around me and I continue to seek out opportunities that will enable me to grow. My education and experience in architecture thus far has been exhilarating, frustrating, but always satisfying. I expect this to continue not just for the next two and half years, but for the duration of my career Daniel Baciuska Spring 2009
