:: Flex Pavilion

::with Kyle Johnson::Yu Zheng::Qingzhi Li The pavilion began as an investigation of using bending as an activating force rather than the traditional approach of designing with the intent of minimizing it. We were particularly interested in manipulating the bending stiffness of birch plywood by creating ‘soft zones’ through the removal of material, and exploring the spatial opportunities latent in this controlled collapse approach. The methods of creating the soft hinges fell into two strategies: kerfing, which effectively reduced the width of the surface, and material rastering, whereby we reduced the depth of the wood substrate. The pavilion itself was conceived as a light canopy connecting two benches. The design space was explored parametrically through a robust model developed in Daniel Piker’s Kangaroo plug in for grasshopper. The system allowed a user to tweak the layout and soft zone pattern to their needs, and then produced a cut pattern for a CNC mill.

:: Network Outpost From meta crawler search queries to highfrequency trading, our world and our perceptions are being reshaped by the ubiquity of the algorithm. Algo-trading is so profitable that nearly all of the buildings adjacent to the internet hub in New York City have been gutted and filled with servers. In examining this phenomena, researchers at MIT have described a potential network of internet hubs that will maximize arbitrage. What is perhaps most interesting is that many of the proposed sites are not even close to urban centers. At some point it will become economically viable to build server hubs in some of the most inhospitable places on earth. These isolated locations pose not only the practical issues of surviving in extreme environments, but also the psychological implications of being physically isolated while on the backbone of the fastest network ever conceived. Four sites are examined as case studies for these subterranean server hubs: Bikar Atoll, the Hebrides, the Sahara, and Antarctica.

The assesment algorithm is rationalized, programmable space is created, and a partitioned shell is produced. This process is repeated with the wieght of different quantitative parameters adjusted to create families of schemtaic designs. The families are ranked on both their quantitative performance and qualtitative criteria related to their site appropriateness and potential for long term, isolated occupation.

:: SOAP

:: BIOMS Research Team Project Team :: Professor Maria-Paz Gutierrez, Professor Slav Hermanowicz, Professor Luke Lee David Campbell, Vivek Rao, Henry Kagey, Pablo Hernandez, Peter Suen, Charles Irby SOAP (Solar Optic Active Panel) was conceived as a way to heat and treat greywater in a building facade, thereby simultaneously generating energy and recycling water on site. This requires an integration of design across scales and disciplines, and has the potential to reduce overall water and energy consumption and by extension reduce wear on our overtaxed and aging infrastructure. In addition, in the developing world where per capita consumption is relatively low but the cost of water and energy is very high, the SOAP panel can have a significant impact on an individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quality of life. This continuing research is funded by an NSF EFRI SEED grant, and includes professors, doctoral candidates, post-docs, graduate students, and undergrads working on an interdisciplinary team including Architecture, BioEngineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Environmental Engineering.

:: Kelp! The small gallery creates a space with the haunting serenity of walking among the groves of a kelp forest under the surface of the ocean. As visitors enter the space they descend into the main hall which is both narrow and tall, stressing the verticality of kelp tanks stretching up to a diffuse ceiling of variable depth, evoking the ocean surface as seen from underneath. The lighting is dramatic but not overly dark, as displays and exhibits are set up here. On either side of this main space are two smaller narrow alcoves that run the length of the main hall. A short flight of stairs leads to these spaces which are somewhat obscured and delineated by the kelp tanks. Artwork and finer grained cross sections of kelp species are displayed under directed artificial light.

:: Balance The combined velodrome and dance center acts as both an icon for an underrepresented sport and as a collection point for the existing network of trails and paths in the hills above UC Berkeley. The track is supported by a cable-stayed cantilever that balances it at the mouth of a canyon, creating a gateway that mediates the descent from the foothills to the campus and down to the bay. The support spaces for the track cascade down as the canyon floor drops away, terminating in a performing stage. The canyon walls are terraced and used as stadium seating for both the stage and the track, creating a variety of spaces and views within the multi-layered complex.
