:: Grounded A novel conception of urban farming is explored through the synthesis of the existing urban typologies of the mixed use plinth, new ground, and on-site waste water reuse. The exploration is driven by innovation in the architecture rather than trying to reimagine farming, as in the recent interest in vertical urban farming. The focus for the investigation was on the farming surface itself. It is offset and then broken apart to allow for the distribution of light and air to the vast spaces below. It responds to the edge conditions of the adjacent rail line, elevated arterial roadway, and as an extension of the lively street shopping area to the north. It is further articulated to incorporate requisite program square footages and relationships, including space for commercial, housing, offices, light industrial, and the main attractor, a spanish-style food mercado that occupies the south-east corner. The strips created by the surface strategy allow for depth to be created along the main pedestrian thoroughfare and link through to the train station at the southwest corner of the site. The width of the strips is a negotiation of the needs of the program above and below and establishes a connection to the scalar texture of the exisiting street shopping area.

:: 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.
:: material raster The advantage of the material raster approach is that the bending stiffness responds to changes in depth quadratically whereas it responds to changes in width linearly. This allows for a large effect with a relatively small intervention. Additionally, if a gradient pattern is used on the CNC it creates no stress concentrations and so is less susceptible to splitting.
:: kerfing The advantage in kerfing is its ease in pattern generation and translation to the CNC. However, it also creates stress concentrations that were not ideal for a non-homogeneous material. It was difficult to control the bending stiffness to a fine degree, resulting in many of our test canopies either being far too stiff or too flexible.
:: 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 individual’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.

:: Safe Harbor The common association with the term ‘hostel’ is one of youth, poverty, and communal living. While all of that may continue to be true, the idea of the hostel can be revitalized by situating itself as a resting point for a cross section of a nomadic and movable society. It can allow for a range of accommodation and character if it is conceived with deeply ingrained strategies for flexibility. The proposed hostel creates an ever changing space organized around an interior street. The interior is cross connected in large rooms which use a framework of screens to create and mutate variable-sized collections of individual cells, allowing for both open and private accommodations for any sized group.
:: 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.

:: Incompatible Synthetics :: with Jeff Marsch
In any approach to creating an urban plan the method of conducting the requisite research creates drastic shifts in the final design scheme. This is not surprising, as cities are mash ups of competing and conflicting interests and agendas. The development of a parametric process allowed for a variety of simultaneous approaches to create new opportunities in the synthesis of seemingly incompatible schemes. The site is characterized through the use of prototypical character machines which culminates in a set of perspective tectonics and napkin sketches of an ideal layout. The sketches are used to generate and analyze urban massings automatically. Conflicts in philosophy of each character’s developed schemes are spatialized through the overlay of circulation networks and folds in the projected urban fabrics, yielding artifacts of synthesized physical and digital models of seemingly incompatible schemes.

He has a strong intuitive sense about
the potential of technologies, and an infectious enthusiasm for cutting edge solutions to today's problems. Under his guidance, our R&D team made great strides in integrated development of wind and other renewable energy systems. The most importnat thing I learned from him, though, was to always be rigorous in our research so we could back up our claims.
Visions of a sustainable future
were good, he used to say, but making them tangible realities were the only possible end goal. –Hanna Kappel, R&D Engineer|FWT Trade

Olav is a dynamic and innovative thinker.
WORST REVIEW Ehrlichmann is a dreamer, far too concerned with far flung futures than with the reality of today's technology. While he's clearly intelligent, he puts blind faith in the next big thing, and does not temper that with a pragmatic assesment of alternate trends. I heard he moved to California to work for some half-baked tech startup, which will suit him fine, until the tech startup bubble bursts in 5 years. –Marcus Fleischer, Senior Analyst|Enercon

The reality is that people will continue to move to this area, and if we don’t create enironmentally freindly and economically feasible solutions they will end up in energy-greedy traditional developments inland, where AC consumption and water use will more than offset the potential gains from wetland redevelopment. While marshland recovery is a noble cause, we have to be pragmatic as to its quantifiable benefits. We cannot afford to filter our outlook and plans through nostalgic visions of the past that are incompatible with current pressures. Innovation is the way forward.

"We cannot afford to filter our plans through nostalgic visions of the past..." 3. THE EHRLICHMANN PLAN The Cargill Site is an ideal location to be built as a net zero community. The relatively temperate climate on the bay coast makes wind and solar potentially very attractive solutions. Integrating these systems into a large scale energy storage system, such as mass-shielded geothermal could result in a community that can thrive with a minimal impact on the surrounding region. The installation of these and other cutting edge solutions can be worked in to subsidizing the initial cost of the development. Renewable energy startups will partially fund the construction for the rights to test and market their systems, making the cost to residents comparable to traditional schems.

:: 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.
