XL Region Urban Design Studio II: The Spaces Between Cities, Hudson Valley Partners: Mariam Hattab, Berke Kalemoglu, Ashley Louie, Ryan Pryandana Crits: Lee Altman, Jerome Haferd, Justin Moore, Michael Murphy, David Smiley Year: Fall 2018 Region is defined neither by a political boundary nor a physical area but, in the tradition of Patrick Geddes, the region is understood to be composed of non-contiguous territories defined by shared parameters, from soil types to income levels, from topography to zoning, from habitat to political or financial incentives, among many others.

In this sense, a city is always part of a region, as a concentration and particularization of densities, ecologies, and economies of the larger territory.

This studio focus on the complex relationships between and within cities in the urbanized area of the Hudson Valley. From drinking water, through fresh agricultural produce, to stone, cement, and other construction materials, the Hudson Valley provides much of the resources feeding the dense metropolitan areas of New York City and Albany.

In response to what many residents see as poor communication, Amplify Hudson uses media as a platform to catalyze and create spaces for community engagement that unite people with each other and to the waterfront. Amplify Hudson partners with consists of a Media Workshop, a Civic Platform, and a waterfront reflection overlook.

Amplify Hudson provides an equitable strategy to communicate with and represent its people. Residents deserve the right to greater transparency in decision-making and improved access to community resources. Participatory journalism provides a vehicle for citizens to democratically voice their opinions and to exercise their first amendment rights to the freedom of speech, press, assembly, and petition.

L City Urban Design Studio I: New York; 5 Boroughs Partners: Carolina Godinho, Junyu Cao Crits: Hayley Eber, Kaja Kuhl, Sagi Golan, Austin Sakong Year: Summer 2018 New York City, the most populous and the most urban of America’s cities is the testing grounds of this studio as a laboratory to explore and experiment with tools, techniques, and strategies to develop a design methodology, where research and spatial investigation inform an argument As a post-industrial city it offers a multitude of areas for transforming the urban environment in order to support the city to face the challenges of the 21st century.

Thinking about the city as a series of systems of hard and soft infrastructure and the people that live, work and benefit from these systems in New York City requires a multi-scalar approach to urban design in which we recognize global and regional forces on human-scale. Working in multiple scales and across different time frames became an integral part of this process to design an intervention that follows a speculative argument for the future of the City

CONNECTION

Ever since the Cromwell Center in Staten Island closed in 2010 the community witness a decrease in recreational space and activities. The new developments along the North Shore have been a boost to Staten Island, but don’t address the residents need. Community members have been advocating to bring back a community center that would give children and families a place to play.

Rather than creating another recreational building, could we rediscover existing spaces in Staten Island?

M Quarry Degree Project: The Battle of San Rafael Rock Quarry Crits: Berenika Boberska, Scrap Marshall Year: Spring 2018 Woodbury University

We are constantly redeveloping and rewriting the constructed environment around us. The evidence and remains of what came before us, as inscribed in the roots of the landscape, are often forgotten. The memories and historical layers of the place which connect us to the landscape vanish and are often replaced by new development.

One concept that reveals the trace of time is that of the Palimpsest - the layering of past moments in space and physical fabric to create an architecture of memory.

This thesis will enact a fictional battle between a historian and a developer as they question the rules of a new mixed-use development in a disused rock quarry - to find new relationships to traces and uses within the landscape. The battlefield is a testing ground for a radical conservation of disturbed landscapes such as quarries.

S Warehouse 3B Structure: Relay Interchange Partner: Jason Bravo Crit: Eric Olsen Year: Spring 2016

The infrastructural heart of Los Angeles are its freeways. Congested or not they facilitate the mobility of vehicles and its hosts. The primary function of this system is movement and any minor change in flow causes long spanning effect of congestion.

Therefore, it is important to have each vehicle consistently moving at equal rate.

The simple notion of how a freeway works serves as a precedent for mobility, infrastructure, and program towards the development of a drone delivery tower. To maximize mobility, a drone must move to its designated destination, with no interruptions, from point A to B. Working in different scales, the truck, package and drones must all synchronize in motion to keep the flow of traffic ongoing. Any slight delay from any of the three scales would be detrimental to the entire system.

XS Museum 4A Systems : Eagle Rock Lantern Crit: Robert Kerr Year: Fall 2016

Eagle rock is a neighborhood perceived as a quiet and safe place but in reality it’s dark and dangerous. The site is situated between a commercial area that is well illuminated, but as one gets closer to the site, it becomes darker .

The street lights begin to fade away closer to the site, the site becomes a dark empty hole and one can raise the question, how safe is a neighborhood ?

The building seeks to create an experience that reflects the environment that is Eagle Rock by addressing the site conditions and creating mirrored environments at unexpected moments in space.

Circulation is pushed into the inside of the building, activating the courtyard and bringing people together.

The courtyard no longer becomes an intermediate waiting space, but becomes the unifying element that connects visitors and residents.

XS Student Center Titan Student Union, Steinberg Hart Critical Roles: Revit Construction Details, Interior Renders, Material Finishes, Presentation Drawings

Originally built in 1976, the Titan Student Union (TSU) is a mainstay of the Cal State Fullerton campus. Most students—commuter or residential—pass by or through the building each day.

In 2012, a student governing board led the charge to improve the aging campus hub, revealing that they had saved years of student body fees and could fund and oversee an expansion.

Student representatives expressed two primary objectives: To connect students to each other, while connecting the building to the campus. The new 27,000 SF addition creates a front door experience for the campus community. The triple-height atrium, which includes a below-grade expansion, integrates the variety of activities within one dynamic space.
