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.
EDGES
The primary focus for this 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 then responds to the edge conditions of adjacent rail line, elevated arterial roadway, and as an extension of the lively strret shopping area to the north. It is further adapted to incoprporate requisite program square footages and relationships, and then further articulated.
PROGRAM
Through the synthesis of the existing urban typologies of the mixed use plinth, new ground, and on site waste water reuse a new paradigm of urban farming is arrived at. This integration is driven by innovation in the architecture rather than trying to reimagine farming paradigms, as in the recent interest in vertical farming.

Stadium :: Balance The bicycle velodorome and performing 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 the dance 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 multilayered complex.

Daylit Gallery :: Kelp! The goal of the gallery is to create a space with the haunting serenity of walking under the surface of the ocean among the groves of a kelp forest. As visitors enter the space they will descend into the main hall which is both narrow and tall, stressing the verticality of kelp tanks stretching up to a variable diffuse ceiling evoking the ocean surface seen from the bottom. 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 narrow smaller narrow galleries which are raised from the main gallery and partly obscured by the kelp models. A short flight of stairs leads to these spaces which are more alcoves than clearly distinct spaces. Here the artwork and finer grained samples are displayed under brighter, more directed light.

12 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 moveable society. It can allow for a range of accomodation and character if it is conceived with deeply engrained strategies for flexibility. The proposed hostel creates an everchanging 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 accomodations for any sized group.

The observation pier is made up of a series of adaptable trusses that deform with the canyon’s micro-topography, creating a malleable structure that is both integrated and in tension with its surroundings The system begins as a pavillion above the highest reaches of the surf which acts as the entry point for two paths through the canyon. For one path, the system acts as a roof and filter, enclosing rock and sand rooms which expand the canyon at the low, mid, and high tides. The other path is suspended above the reach of the waves, providing a bird’s eye view of the activity below. As the canyon meets the ocean, a structure emerges to merge the trusses into a hanging pier, allowing dynamic views of the ocean below one’s feet.

16 Research :: SOAP BIOMS :: UC Berkeley
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 additon, 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. The diagrams at right illustrate a parametric framework we developed to keep the various pieces of the research integrated but modular, so that new strategies and information can be quickly included to update related parts. This continuing research is funded by an NSF EFRI grant, and includes professors, doctoral candidates, postdocs, graduate students, and undergrads working on an interdisciplinary team including Architecture, BioEngineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Environmental Engineering.

In any approach to an urban plan the method of conducting the requisite research creates drastic shifts in the final design scheme. This is not particularly surprising as cities are mashups of competing and conflicting interests and agendas. In this project, the development of a parametric pseudoprocess allowed for the simultaneous applictaion of several approaches which created new oportunities in the synthesis of seemingly incompatible schemes. In this semi-automated process the site is characterized through the lens of prototypical character machines which culminate in a napkin sketch of an ideal layout and a perspective tectonic. The sketch is then processed to build the resulting digital city and analyse it economically and, to a certain degree, spatially. The conflicts in philosophy between the characters are spatialized through the overlay of circulation networks and folds in the projected urban fabrics, which yields artifacts of synthesized physical and digital models.

Algortihmic Design :: 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, researchers at MIT have described a potential network that will maximize arbitrage. What is perhaps most interesting is that many of these 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 conceieved. Four sites are examined as case studies for these subterranean server hubs: Bikar Atoll, the Hebrides, the Sahara, and Antarctica.

The designed algorithm assessing each of the four test sites create design spaces (left) as a result of varying the rules by which the morphology is generated. Each space is ranked according to quantitative and qualitative criteria, and a universal rule set is arrived at. For each site the generated form is manipulated and developed into liveable space (right) The character of each site is expressed and engaged through accent areas revolving around the potential research directions latent in each site’s natural context (next page).

The City of Oakland is a complicated place, at once vibrant and decaying, close knit and crime-ridden, affluent and impoverished. This is directly reflected in its projection into the virtual: high praise for restaurants, coffee roasters, and haberdasheries are qualified with warnings about walking at night, bicycle theft, and random gunfire. These maps visualize this dichotomy through crime statistics for 2012 overlaid with posts from Yelp!, TripAdvisor, and Urban Spoon. The valleys of crime hotspots and peaks of the biggest attractions shift the relatively flat physical landscape into a dramatically variegated virtual projection of the downtown core, which in many ways is a more accurate representation of the collective conception of the type of place Oakland is.
