Different Levels of Privacy are derived from the Relationship to Gardens The program given contains a restaurant, clinic, and a gym, all of which require different levels of privacy. The site is organized in relationship to the three garden types: garden to see, garden to be seen, and garden to interact.

Accent the End of the Streets to Open Up Circulation to the New Part of the City The site had a problem with heavy circulation. The circulation was concentrated between Point A and B, and Point C was forgotten even though it had potential to be a great plaza. The objective of the project was to drow people to point C using the new architecture on the site. As a result, point C becomes new point A. Continuing this process has the potential to create dynamic city by introducing new way of navigating through at each site.

Maximize the Experience with the Minimum Adjustment to the Site The existing masonry wall on the site used to function as a changing room for people swimming in the river. However, the river got polluted with the growth of the city and no one used the facility anymore. The project was about to add the roof structure and a restaurant to the site so it can bring back people to the river when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cleaned up in the future. My concept was to maximize the experience with minimum adjustment to the site in order to allow more emphasis on the existing wall.

Name: Pavilion Project Location: San Antonio, TX Year: 4th year Duration: 5 months (design + construction) Team: Ayumi Nakagawa, Albert Flanco, Noel Hernandez, Tom Dudas
Space for Community The project won a competition hosted by San Antonio Housing Authority. Their mission is to “provide quality affordable housing that is well integrated into the fabric of neighborhoods and serves as a foundation to improve lives and advance resident independence.” Respecting their vision, the designing process focused on the integration of resident’s needs. Their requirement included: 1. View into existing garden and pool 2. View into the pavilion from streets for safety reason 3. Water collection system to use it for gardening Also, because of the limited budget, the whole structure was designed to be built by volunteers. In order to make it possible, 4 by 6 feet module system was proposed as a solution. Each unit was fabricated at school using wood workshop supplies, and then they were sent to the site to be assembled.

AA LANDSCAPE URBANISM The discipline of Landscape Urbanism is, by definition, transdisciplinary. Whilst drawing upon the legacy of landscape design, it integrates knowledge and techniques from environmental engineering, urban strategy and landscape and political ecology. This is achieved through the use of digital design tools deploying the science of complexity and emergence. All these means are combined to project new interventions in an urbanism conceived as social, material, ecological and modulated by the spatial and temporal forces in the which it operates.
Landscape Urbanism engages both critically and opportunistically with the plans for Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor, a mega-infrastructure project linking the political and business capitals of India, We are exploring the generation of proto-strategies for new large-scale agglomerations as a means of critically addressing the phenomena of mass-produced cities.
AA Project Review 2013
ABSTRUCT The Firescape project explores the role of fire resistant infrastructure as a mediator to create a time- and space-sensitive model for industrial cities. Based on the specific economic and social situation in India, the Firescpape project challenges the boundary between the industry and city, in particular:
The Firescape acts as a flexible boundary that negotiates the growth of the industry and city over different stage of industrialisation. The Firescape provides more than the safe city environment by separating the potential fire risk of the industry from the urban activities. It also houses public space in order to improve the local workerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life quality. Taking advantage of the exiting economic and social fabric, the Firespcape merges the traditional spatial use to the new created urban area.

Connectivity of Existing Villages
Because the growth of industries directly link to the transportation connectivity, to take advantage to the existing infrastructure and social fabic, we started to look at the connectivity of the local villages. The numbers of the circle around the villages shows the level of connectivity of each village.
Escape Route Pond Connection Because the industries are flammable, we use escape route technique to form the major road infrastructure for the whole area in case emergency. This drawing shows the direct connection of each pond as future refuge for fire escape
Proposed Residential Area
Escape Route Construction
Assume that poor connected villages will tend to attach the closest better connected villages to form village clusters. The area in yellow shows residential area around village clusters as the future residential areas to meet the targeted area for residential land-use and the rest area will be for the industries to develop.
To provide transportation for industrial material transportation and safety of people, the escape route is located in the future industrial area. Here we try to find the efficient way to connect industrial refuge area to the external network.
Escape Route System
This drawing is showing the system of escape network from the local refuge area around each pond to the external network through the escape routes.

Industrial Fabric As roads can help to prevent fire spread, the major roads for industrial area are designed to ensure safety of industrial refuge area. And its radiate layout also suggests the location refuge area for emergency use by daily use of the infrastructure.
Residential Area For the residential network we also have three hexarchies. The primary road connects the residential refuge area to the industrial refuge area for escaping to the external connection. The secondary and thirdly roads to connect residential refuge areas to the rest of the residential areas. And they are focus on daily use within the residential areas.
Berm Protection When the industrial fabric and residential fabric meet to each other, there are berms in between to separate the fire to spread from industries into the residential area.

Ground Construction PrototypeA is the ground condition that was created through the cut and fill to reform the slope of existing berm. Since the amount of soil excavation is small in this prototype and it does not create specific ground condition, any conventional housing type can be constructed on the ground. In contrast, prototypeB contains specific ground condition that was created as a result of cut and fill operation to construct new berm.

modular study ayumi nakagawa daiki tsutsumi
Abstract: The objective is to invent a unit and a system that can be used to compose three-dimensional objects. The ideas for the form were derived from the process of fungus creation in micro scale. The unit itself and the composed object are intended to apply to architecture in different scales, such as the facade system, the structure, and the building itself.
Method: Cardboard was selected for the creation of the model. Since two-dimensional method had to be used to create the three-dimensional product, the combination of contour shape and cardboard was used for realization of the design.
