EXPANSIVE CITY Design V - Spring 2017 Singapore
Exploring the limits of urbanization within a dense environment, the expansive city combines research of proxemics and defensible space to envision an adaptive social infrastructure. Strings respond to social groupings among an aggregation of users to create a network of collaborative communities to live and work. Defining one’s role in an urban environment can reaffirm their self-awareness and role in an expansive city.
6
The system envisioned was placed in one of Singapore’s business districts in order to bridge the gap between living and working through the application of a flexible system of spaces. Inspired by Oscar Newman’s Defensible Space Theory and Edward T. Hall’s Theory of Proxemics, the effect of spaces and their emotive connections was explored to create an adaptive environment.

Districts merge according to proximity and form shared communal workspaces, studios, or classrooms. This experimental form of living and working was derived to accommodate growth within districts and enhance user communication within the entire network.

Strings form new spaces in between social groupings to accommodate program and facilitate new interaction. A series of interactions are meant to be encouraged due to the variables manipulated by the expasnive strings.

ONDA Advanced Design - Spring 2018 Austin, Texas Team / Kory Bieg / Abby Abolt / Bruno Canales / Jayme Greene / Marianna Jones / Shelly Kimmel / Danielle Ndubisi / Davis Richardson / Sam Shiminski / Sarah Spielman / Caroline Stacey / Joel Sterling / Raqel Valdez / Cole Wendling
The project began with an experimental approach to parametric design that attempted to bridge the use of digital 3-dimensional design programs with analog methods of work. Exploring the emerging technologies introduced into the field of design that combines robotics, programming, and digital fabrication to envision an addition to the school’s circulation space. ONDA- translating to ‘electromagnetic wave’ in spanish, is today a digitally fabri-
14
cated installation in the West Mall Building on campus at the University of Texas at Austin. A group of fourteen students worked together exploring materials and their ability to be manipulated within the school’s parameters. A culmination of studies in object-oriented ontology sparked the studio’s interest in combining the variables of perspective, and their effects.
15
/ NOISE ONDA’s pattern is created with Processing, a computer programming language that was able to dictate variable densities of the slats.
/ MATERIALITY Alternating pieces of MDF wood and HDPE plastic are prescribed at each line in the pattern.
16
/ TOPOGRAPHY Two different topographies, of two different materials, designed in 3ds Max explore the effects of intersecting extruded geographies.
/ OVERLAY The topographies are overlaid, interlocking the two materials and illustrates the wave generated by the Processing component.
/ JOIN Similar to a jigsaw puzzle, each slat is a different size and shape to reduce construction materials and create a flexible system of fabrication.
/ COLOR Color is integrated as an interpretation of Austin’s topography pattern. Exploring the relationship between perspective and perception, the colors are painted on one side of the wall to enrich the circulation.
/ PROJECTION The outline of a figure was projected along the alternative perspective and painted cyan representing the hidden elements within the overall fabrication of the installation.
/ EXTRUSION The slats are extruded into the topographies, where the front face takes the form of the topography with the farthest depth being 3”.

Iterations were developed using programs such as Processing, Rhino, Grasshopper, 3ds Max, Sketch Up, Revit. Exploring the nature of patterns and their potential variables led us to enhance the qualities of a moire eďŹ&#x20AC;ect with the application of light and color.

GUSTAVINO TILES Research Assistant - 2018 / 2019 Supervisor / Benjamin Ibarra-Sevilla New York City, New York
Rafael Gustavino immigrated from Spain in 1881 to New York City where the construction of his clay tiled vaults began throughout the public infrastructure. My research began in with the composition of hundreds of photographs used to render the series of vaults within the Chambers Street Subway Station. The new documentation software Measuring the series of arcs using the three de-
22
ďŹ ning points given in the sections allowed us to compare and contrast the results. Sections (pictured to the right) rendered from the photographs gave us the most accurate depiction of the tiles. Combining digital and analog drawing techniques with the capabilities of new documentation technologies allowed me to exercise skills of precision and investigation to compare consistencies within research.
23
The resulting mesh (pictured above) provided the means to take sections, elevations, and arc information.A series of 13 Sections were dissected using the model.

QUEEN TIDE ULI Hines Competition - January 2019 Cincinnati, Ohio Team / Kai James / Dana Moore / Steven Naidu
The ULI Hines Competition is a two week ideas competition that challenges a group of five students to design a development program to be implemented into a North American City of choice. The Ohio River is a visual, recreational, and infrastructural amenity, which presides over the new development with a stern hand. The flooding that hits sink, Cincinnati, Covington, and other river
28
cities each year is devastating, creating the need for flood capacity infrastructure along the banks. Queen Tide ia a prototype for flood water management that decouples the narrative of flooding that results in disaster. Climate change and its unforgiving acts of nature must be addressed in conversations of the future of urban life.

WOHNREGAL Advanced Design - Fall 2017 Paris, France Team / Johannes Bernsteiner / Kim Gabosch / Marianna Jones / Juliette Liautaud / Jorge Torres
Wohnregal attempts to redefine the classic Parisian model of a block by establishing a network of communities that challenge the integration of living and working. A plot of land segregated by transportation, this combination of program throughout the project reactivates the borders by extending the canal promenade to the site edges and terracing the topography to enhance the permeability.
36
The project seeks to foster a collective culture by introducing leisure at various scales throughout the site in order to bridge the gap between programs. Wohnregal offers a cultural extension of the Parc de la Villette by establishing flexible workspaces that invite surrounding users and reinforce the culture of collectivity.

TRAVIS COUNTY COURTHOUSE Comprehensive Design - Spring 2019 Austin, Texas Team / Emma Johnston
Amidst one of the city’s Southwest Capitol view corridors lies blocks 126 and 109, the primary sites for the Travis County Courthouse Campus expansion in downtown Austin, that have been nonconformining sites that segregate the grounds of the capital to the historic Wooldridge Park and the surrounding district of county buildings. Austin’s new Travis County Courthouse will give life to this sector of Downtown by establishing an urban stage along an axis of public greenspace that radiates from Austin’s most historic building.
46
Combining the qualities of an urban park and the civic nature of a courthouse, our courthouse is built underneath a canopy of raised earth punctured with light wells that are extruded to provide maximum shading on the roof while simultaneously reflecting light into the Courthouse below. We stray from the traditional model of a courthouse disengaged with the public by creating our Re-ingtegration Center within the district’s campus that surrounds the perimeter of the building to provide an accessible institution of public services surrounding social justice.
