WORKING WITH THE DEVELOPMENT FIRM ARTIMUS LOCATED IN HARLEM, THE STUDIO WAS PROVIDED A HUGE PARCEL OF LAND TO DESIGN AN AREA THAT WILL MAKE THE AREA OF EAST HARLEM MORE DESIREBLE. THE GOAL IS TO POPULATE THE AREA, BRINGING RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL SPACES. DUE TO LOCATION, THIS AREA HAS BEEN UNDERDEVELOPED FOR YEARS. WHAT CAN WE DO TO BRING MORE PEOPLE IN THE AREA? WHY NOT INTRODUCE A DEMOGRAPHIC IN NEED TO THE AREA?

KEY PLACES IN THE AREA

WHEN DOING RESEARCH ON THE SITE, THERE ARE SEVERAL KEY PLACES THAT MAKES THE AREA PERFECT FOR LGBTQIA YOUTH. THERE’S EASY ACCESS TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT MASS TRANSIT LINES (TRAIN, BUS & SUBWAY). THERE ARE ALSO SEVERAL YOUTH OUTREACH PROGRAMS SUCH AS THE CAYUGA CENTER, HARLEM’S CHILDREN ZONE AND THE ASSOCIATION TO BENEFIT CHILDREN. THE SITE IS ALSO VERY CLOSE TO THE LARGE MARCUS GARVEY PARK

DELUCA RESIDENCE SINGLE DWELLINGS REYKJAVIK, ICELAND, FALL 2016- PROFESSOR TSAFOULIA

IN THE HEART OF THE ICY FOREST OF REYKJAVIK, ICELAND, DELUCA INTERNATIONAL FASHION DESIGNERS SETS UP CAMP FOR THEIR ICELAND BRANCH. BUT THEREâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S ONLY ONE ISSUE. THE LAND THAT THE COMPANIES HEAD COUPLE BOUGHT IS PLACED ON TOP OF HISTORICAL RUINS THAT HAVE BEEN COMMISSIONED AS A LANDMARK AND CANNOT BE TOUCHED. ALSO, THE AMOUNT OF BUILDABLE SPACE IS MINIMAL AND THE CLIENTS WANT A VERY MODERN DESIGN WITH FLAT ROOFS.

FAMOUS RUINS ON SITE

A REINVENTING THE GRID USING THE ASSIGNED SITE AND IT’S PARAMETERS, A RADIAL GRID WAS CREATED USING THE TWO LONG DIAGONAL GIVEN AND THEN OFFSETTING THE SMALL DIAGONAL

B APPLYING THE GRID A HUGE CHALLENGE WITH THIS GRID WAS FITTING EVERYTHING INTO THE “BUILDABLE AREA”, BUT ACHIEVING THE SHAPE ALLOWED FOR MORE LIGHT EXPOSURE ON THE SOUTHERN FACADE

C MASSING ON THE GRID AFTER ACHIEVING AN INITIAL SHAPE, DIFFERENT MASSING WAS EXPLORED THROUGH MODELS, SHOWING DIFFERENT ITERATIONS ON WHAT COULD BE DONE

EXTERIOR PERSPECTIVE SNOWING TERRAIN REYKJAVIK, ICELAND

A ROOF DRAINAGE SYSTEM SINCE THE CLIENT REQUESTED A FLAT ROOF, ELIMINATING SNOWFALL BECAME A HUGE NECESSITY. WITH A HEATED SLANTED ROOF, MELTED SNOW IS COLLECTED AND STORED

B NATURAL SUNLIGHT BEING IN A FRIGID CLIMATE, COLLECING AS MUCH SUNLIGHT AS POSSIBLE IS A NECCESITY. THE BUILDING IS ORIENTED TO COLLECT NATURAL SUNLIGHT IN THE PUBLIC/WORKSPACE.

C COMPACT MASSING WHEN DESIGNING IN THIS CLIMATE, YOU WANT THE LEAST AMOUNT OF SURFACE AREA EXPOSED, HENCE CREATING A VERY COMPACT BUILDING. ALL PUBLIC AND PRICATE AREAS HUG THE INNER CORE.

SITE PLAN

A OUTSIDE SPACE DIRECTLY OUTSIDE THE ENTRANCE SITS A BEAUTIFUL SITING AREA FOR WHEN THE WWATHER IS DECENT. ALSO, THE SITE SITS ON HISTORICAL RUINS THAT CANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T BETOUCHED BY THE BUILDING, BUT RESIDENTS CAN INTERACT WITH THEM.

B SITE ACCESS ALTHOUGH THE SITE IS PLACE IN THE MIDDLE OF A FOREST, THEIR IS A DIRECT DRIVEWAY AND CARPORT FOR RESIDENTS, AS WELL AS A WALKING PATH TO THE FOREST BEYOND.

TRACKING HEAD MOVEMENTS BEING THAT THE “HEAD” IS THE CONTROL SYSTEM OF THE BODY, TRACKING ITS MOVEMENT WAS VITAL IN CREATING THE FLOOR PLAN SHAPE.

STEP UP: CHANGE IN ELEVATION CHANGING THE ELEVATION ON REAL TIME CREATES A DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE . IF THE HEIGHT OF A SPACE IS 12’ HIGH, AND YOUR FOOT ELEVATION CHANGES THROUGHOUT, THAT CREATES DIFFERENT LEVELS OF INTAMCYY THROUGHOUT

TRACKING HAND MOVEMENTS TRACKING HEAD MOVEMENTS

WHEN STROLLING, YOUR HAND MOVEMENTS ARE A MAJOR COMPONENET. THEY OPEN AND MEET THROUGHOUT DIFFERENT

THE DYNAMIC KICK THE “DYNAMIC KICK” IS THE LAST MOVEMENT THROUGHOUT THE STROLL. THIS IS THE MOST EXCITING PART OF THE PIECE, AND REPRESENTS THE AFRICAN CULTURE BEHIND STROLLING AND STEP DANCING.

FLOOR PLAN

THE FLOOR PLAN FOR THE PAVILION IS DERIVED FROM THE CHANGE IN HEAD MOVEMENTS AND THE CHANGE IN HAND MOVEMENTS. THESE HEAD IS THE CONTROL CENTER OF THE BODY AND THE HAND IS THE MAIN DRIVER IN THE STEP DANCE.

SECTION A-A

THE ACTUAL SHAPE OF THE PAVILION IS A DIRECT TRANSLATION OF THE DYNAMIC KICK THAT HAPPENS IN THE END OF THE STEP ROUTINE. THE KICK IS MAPPED AND THEN SPLIT INTO SEGMENTS DIRECTLY CORRELATING TO THE SIZE OF EACH FREEZE FRAME PER SECOND.

LAY DOWN

USERS OF THE PAVILION HAVE THE OPTION TO LAY DOWN FOR RELAXATION. THIS SMALL BED IS LOCATED IN THE REAR OF THE PAVILION, AWAY FROM CIRCULATION AND ACTIVITY

SIT DOWN

LIKE ANY PAVILION, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE A PLACE TO SIT. THROUGHOUT THE PAVILION THERE ARE MANY PLACES TO SIT AND TALK OR ENJOY A NICE NEW BOOK

STAND UP

THE PAVILION ALSO ACTS AS A TRANSITION SPACE. IT IS LARGE ENOUGH TO WALK THROUGH AND CAN ACT AS A MONUMENTAL SPACE FOR PEOPLE TO MEET UP.

CREATING COMMUNITY

RECREATION

WHAT IS COMMUNAL GARDENING? COMMUNAL GARDENING IS CREATING A SENSE OF COMMUNITY THROUGH GARDENING, AGRICULTURE AND HORTICULTURE. THE COMMUNITY UNITES TO CREATE A COHESIVE SUSTAINABLE BUILDING.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS THROUGH COMMUNAL GARDENING, THE OVERALL BUILDING BECOMES A HUGE FARMERS MARKET. FAMILIES PRODUCE THEIR OWN CROPS FOR CONSUMPTION, AND ALSO EDUCATES THEIR KIDS ON HEALTHY LIVING HABITS.

HOW DOES IT IMPACT THE ENVIORNMENT WHEN BUILDING A NEW STRUCTURE, WE ESSENTIALLY TAKE AWAY FROM THE ENVIORNMENT. ONCE YOU INCORPORATE HORTICULTURE/AGRICULTURE INTO THE STRUCTURE, YOU REPLACE THE ENVIORNMENT THAT WAS TAKEN AWAY

WHY IS THIS RIGHT FOR STAPLETON STAPLETON IS STRUGGLING FOR AN IDENTITY, SO WHY NOT IMPLEMENT SUSTAINABLE FORMS OF LIVING? CREATING AN URBAN GARDEN CANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T PROMPT MORE OF THEM TO
