WATERPULSE PULSATING ENVIRONMENT OF RELAXATION
FALL 2012 / SEAN LALLY
WaterPulse project is shaped by pulsating energies that overlay and interact with a neutral water environment. Presence and intensity of specific energy creates an individually controlled ambience of visibility, privacy, security and other senses tuned to user’s body and adjusted on demand. High level of such control and flexibility of the personal space promotes a new type of social interaction where people are aware of the surroundings without direct contact with each others. Being very preconditioned inside, WaterPulse becomes a point of attraction for city dwellers. One, staying beyond the actual project boundary, can feel the indirect effect of the energy dissipating from the environment.

CAPSULE HOTEL A capsule hotel is a type of hotel, developed in Japan, that features a large number of extremely small "rooms" (capsules) intended to provide cheap and basic overnight accommodation
THE LOBBY AS A SOCIAL HUB The lobby-as-destination notion provides a spaces, where guests can meet, great and exchange. It becomes a place to spend a night. “Where's that new bar on a rooftop?”
THE LOBBY AS A COFFEESHOP Hotels are making an effort to get travelers to linger a bit in the lobby and enjoy a cup of coffee and a light snack.
ELECTRONIC CHECK-IN Keycards are sent in advance to guests using this service. On the day of arrival, a text message containing the room number is sent.
UNBOUNDED LOBBY It's something that's been the standard in Las Vegas for a long time—it's hard to say where the lobby ends and the casino begins. There, lobbies are also gateways to lounges, and shopping malls.
THE LOBBY AS A PLAZA Turning the hotel lobby into the plaza mayor seen in Spain or Italy, with lots of small food and drink shops around. So it works as a freestanding destination, not just a hotel restaurant.
THE LOBBY AS A LIVING ROOM Lobbies feature libraries and fireplace to create a feel of a living room. Those social gathering places made for people to converse, debate, and exchange; and drag them from their rooms.
WORKSPACE FOR FREELANCERS Freelancers have taken to hotel lobbies instead of Starbucks. Hotels are courting them with long tables and lots of outlets because they like the ambiance of buzzy lobbies.

SELLING SLEEP Soundproof cozy cabin engineered for maximum tranquility provides a napspace for city dwellers. Established and located in the heart of NYC, this business welcomes walk-ins and corporates.
MULTI-SENSORY EXPERIENCE Vibration, color, music and light therapy becomes a main event on its own. All together, it helps to relax quicker and gives people some real excitations. FINE DINING & SPA-ING The trend is about healthy hedonism, or, it’s all about combining “moments of sensory ecstasy…” But it also has practical appeal: people seek shorter stays.

Spas try to defferentiate themselves from each others. By piling on the “wow” factors, they are serving up both big and small wows (and true surprises) in a quest for individuation. BLENDING MEDICINE/SPA As the medical evidence for prevention, more truly holistic concepts of wellbeing — and now, even “happiness” — escalates, it’s a huge opportunity for the spa industry.
FAMILY AFFAIR “Amusement park” spa-land. These dynamic, fun, adult playgrounds are full of sensory rides, typically offering larger-than-life all-day water and spa experiences for the entire family.
THE ‘GLAM’ FACTOR Beauty and grooming notion is booming… The intensity, frequency with which people are getting “glammed up,” groomed, bedizened and beautified is exploding worldwide.

SUCKING IN... A new catalog of attractors was chosen from the precedents of Chicago architecture based on the ability to suck in people. The catalog incorporated strong vertical + horizontal new program Chicago architecture qualities such as form, extrusion extrusionprogram, figure and atmosphere. Conceptually, the project sucks in buildings from the catalog where the typology of figures is based on plan/ section outline of the precedents.

VOLUMIZE
Figures are combined in order to achieve an unexpected spatial experience. The project utilizes horizontal and vertical extrusion of lock-and-key figures as well as void and solid conditions as rules to generate a volume. The resulting carve-outs allow light to enter the building and create the sixth facade.

FLUID OFFICE BUILDING
SPRING 2 0 1 1 / PENELOPE DEAN & ANDREW MODDRELL
MANIPULATE The exploration of the characteristics of different materials such as PVC, paper and plastic finds its implementation in creating and then elaborating a unique spatial quality. The idea realizes a dynamic fluid and continuous environment based on interlacing folded ribbons. The curvy flow combines hairpins and slight rounding to dictate the motion. The floor plates produced by extension of these ribbons, together with circulation path are involved in one dynamic flow. 69 70

SECTION A-A
TECHNIQUE
In order to house necessarily enclosed spaced such as fire staircases, services and restrooms, two main ribbons that diagonally cross the building were thickened. Floating in different levels and touching opposite sides of the building, these ribbons provide the fire egress from intersected ribbons. The structural concrete ribbons are quite thick, stacking them together to support makes steps in section that physically may be interpreted as a bench or a stair step depending on thickness of that slab.

SITE ACCESS Visitors enter the building through a narrow tunnel and are suddenly welcomed into a wide open space. The site speaks with the openings and spaces of the ground floor that allow it to be seen as a whole. The elevation of main ribbons juxtaposes the descent of a landscape; this entrance is wide at the beginning and gradually compresses to the center of the building where the circulation starts. Half of the building cantilevers above the low surface of the site giving the opportunity to rise the head and look at the bottom of the structure from underneath. 77 78
SECTION C-C

PROGRAM
The program distribution parallels the idea of communication and open space. Each ribbon bears both of the main program – office and retail- both of which are evenly spread out across the building. No physical walls are implemented to organize the space. Instead, by joining the escalators into one circulation flow, an access path is created that divides the space into parts. These islands are dedicated to certain program – either office or retail alternating with one another. Within the program the furniture is clustered into groups by functionality in order to generate a secondary flow. The areas where the programs intersect present the overlapping condition and smoothly erase the boundaries between them. 79 80

FALL 2010 / PAUL PREISSNER & LAURA FEHLBERG
85 86
The project explores the technique of Peter Eisenman in creation of House VI drawings. Originally done by hands and then redrawn using the software, the set represents step-by-step development of house geometry. The second set interprets the previous drawings by using curve to generate the elements and their connections. Openings, walls, columns, and volumes are performed in the tear, fold, pull off, peel away and blow up techniques. The technique is based on seamles edge condition between vertical and horizontal surfaces and on alternation of the sharp and smooth bends. The shape of the house represents a dynamic fluent continuous surface. 87 88

TRANSFORM Design of the house departs from the primitive box shape fit of a standard lot of 25’ by 125’. The figure of the house is developed by implementing a found technique. The technique is deployed to create drawings that express a programmatic intention of the house. As the transformations progress, each step modifies the existing surface in step-by-step fashion. 93 94

SHIP DOCKING DIAGRAM
Our concept for the Osanbashi pier is to architecturally manifest the gesture of welcoming. The shape was inspired by the duality concept of “Niwaminato.� It can be understood as two halves, which start from opposite ends of the pier and move towards one another, intertwining at the center and separating again. These two halves each represent dual aspects of the Osanbashi pier, and the city of Yokohama: local and international, village of the city, the sea, and the pier. These drawings depict the welcome gesture as a series of embraces. In the greater urban context, the city of Yokohama embraces the pier and the pier returns the favor by welcoming the citizen through an unencumbered path to the center of pier. At a more local level, the Osanbashi pier embraces the ships. Large ships like the Queen Elizabeth II act like floating cities, and when the ship docks, it os physically enveloped by the pier, such the two cities are united. Once the visitors enter the pier, it embraces them. As the visitors move through the interior spaces, the people of Yokohama embrace them. The act of welcome is manifested on urban and individual scales. 119 120

SEASONAL TRANSFORMATIONS
The division of Human from Nature is the perhaps the earliest understanding of Architecture. This proposal hopes to investigate this polemic, while taking a radical stance on the preservation of the Geiranger Fjord UNESCO World Heritage Site. Through the careful, yet absolute, control of the built environment of humans in the fjord, the project allows for the reclamation of nature in the entire region. By relocating the fjord’s villages, as well as its villagers and tourist, into the project, all remenants of human presence will be consolidated into one superstructure. Ecologically and economically self-contained, all surrounding air and water is purified, to include pulling in the exhaust of ships that dock at its slips. Only open and occupied from the Spring Equinox through the Winter Solstice, the area is given three months of recovery without the presence of humans. In time,the Geiranger Fjord will be able to return to prehistoric purity. 135 136
