M!RA THE SPECTACLE
Instant Rescue Agent, Madrid | Instructor: Chris Marcinkoski Team: Laura G. Carey
What if a large amount of capital to one place can move and what if the most significant civic spaces can transform.
In trying to become a first world country and anticipating population growth, Madrid has focused on improving three major sectors: infrastructure, housing, and tourism. Over the past ten years, a number of these large investments have failed, costing exorbitant amounts of money and leaving a landscape of vacancy. In response to these initial conditions, a number of responses have been taken which can be categorized into Megascale Investments (Olympic bids) and Pop-up urbanism (small-scale temporary installations). Neither of these responses are sufficient (they fail to impact, or are pose significant financial risk) to revitalize the PAUs and attract new investment. As a result, we are proposing a responsive, inevitable, and immediate answer to the failures called “M!RA”, which maximizes impact and mitigates risk.
4
M!RA is a new municipal agent which catalyzes action, disturbance and investment in the peripheral developments (PAUs) of Madrid, Spain. M!RA uses the concept of “spectacle” as a means of attracting people, excitement, and investment. There are 4 major M!RA agents which are both transportable and transformable that each have specialized uses. M!ESTRELLA provides performance based uses, M!ESPIGA provides basic civic amenities, M!BALON provides recreational uses and M!FLORERA provides environmental functions.

M!RA uses the concept of “spectacle� both within each agent as well as the deployment strategy. A series of giant hybrid heli-blimps descend into the neglected PAUS which are deprived of basic civic and cultural amenities. Once deployed, the M!RAs are transformed by the heliblimps at undisclosed intervals to promote new uses and excitement.

Fairmount farm is a sustainable and productive farm system. It is operated through the collaboration of the city government and local community. The proposed residents are for the employees of this new urban agricultural model. A bold central corridor blends the character of a exhibitory farm with public turf, all while linking a proposed Agricultural museum and the historic Memorial hall.

America will spend $147 Billion on obesity related health care costs.
Pennsylvania will spend $6.08 Billion on obesity related health-care costs.
Americas growing obesity problem is has bloated into an epidemic. Its affects can particularly be seen in the urban condition. These issues are directly tied with food access, nutrition, and education.
The three scales of intervention come together to create an armature for intervention. The system hinges off of Lancaster Ave (regional scale) and its redevelopment. A secondary network of connective tendrils branches (community scale) off in order to penetrate the food desert. The community gardens are able to affect an immediate food shed while the farms in

The Wellness Hub improves Minneapolis’ downtown livability, helps connect the city’s iconic cultural destinations, and redefines Downtown East as a holistic, health oriented district. By creating new residential and commercial corridors anchored by a hotel, spa, and resort complex with sports facilities, Downtown East will be re-branded as Minneapolis’ premier health district.

STOP + START
Traversing Landscape | Instructor: Anu Mathur +Dillip de Cunha Individual work
The site starts with an island in front of the tunnel in Cynwyd trail and continues across the river up to the parking lot in Manayunk. The infrastructures in this place have one thing in common – they are stops. These stops, or points of retention, also have the potential to be “starts,� or points of release. This project explores how to trigger starts and stops. I have triangulated various stops and their potential starts for movement and picked the 3 most significant ones to study possible activities. Each stop has its own character such as voluntary, enforced, momentary, and permanent. The parking lot is a voluntary and momentary stop because people park their cars but continue moving afterwards. The parking lot also has the characteristic of a permanent and enforced stop because it is blocked from the waterfront with a wall. Thus, one of possible interventions in this area is to activate the potential for interaction between parking lot, waterfront. Lines of trees facilitate drainage into the parking lot and break up the harsh distinction between man-made and natural thresholds. The parking lot itself will be extended through parts of the forest and river. The island in front of the tunnel is a momentary stop because it disappears when the water is coming out. For an intervention, I decided to make the island permanent so it can be used for measuring water level of the river. The last intervention, I triggered further potential to choreograph movement by putting in an amphitheater on the railroad bridge to experience the spectacle from the bridge. People can pause along each part of the stairs and gain different views of the site.

The economy and environment of Qatar has been developed over a very short period of time. The Doha Grand Park creates a distinct separation between the old settlement and new development. I named this phenomenon, “Disconnection of time by space.” The climate of Doha creates distinctive space uses: in summer, Doha has few outdoor activities in daytime due to the extremely hot weather but after sunset, outdoor spaces became crowded. I named this second phenomenon, “Discontinuity of space by time.”

“No Shoes area”
To develop the idea of time in Doha and park programs, I invited the adjacent energy into the park. The first movement I made is to connect old and new Doha through the energies of education, sports, medical, culture, water, and heritage. All these energies correspond to each other by parcelling the park with programs. The major movement in the middle connects old and new development through a civic ceremonial program and the Time Manipulator, structures which use light and shadow to distort the sense of time. The east side of the main path emphasizes Doha’s original night time activity(sports, waterfront activity, movie night, light and art installation). The west side of the park is dedicated to all day uses by nature (dune park, nursery and desert vegetation gardens).
