SOFT CITY:TERRITORIES FOR REMAKING
NEW DELHI, INDIA
Columbia GSAPP MSAUD Spring Delhi Studio In collaboration with Jımena Gonzales-Sicilia and Jımena Romero Without compromising Lutyen’s plan, this project develops a strategy to accommodate the increasing population of Delhi through a strategically orchestrated encounter between two disparate patterns. By creating a new pattern of social infrastructure that is supported by mix-use low density between the two disparate parts, currently inaccessible land will again be reachable to all citizens of Delhi. The project focuses in particular on the Lutyens’ Bungalow Zone, one of the greenest and better connected areas of the city with a well kept infrastructure that has the potential to absorb some of the needs of Delhi’s growing population. Within this area, an informal and flexible pattern co-exists next to the rigid and super-imposed pattern. While the formal pattern was superimposed by Lutyen’s, the informal pattern has its origins in Delhi’s seven cities. As these two patterns work as interdependent systems, the formal one neglects to accommodate the informal one, raising the question of who has the right to the city? Within Lutyen’s Bungalow Zone, informal urbanization is currently taking place. The residual spaces obtained by overlapping existing infrastructure where identified as soft sites. These soft sites will become potential sites for future development. They will be infilled by a system of open spaces that are defined by specific site conditions, using guidelines that follow the local and historical process of growth found in the seven cities. The built mass is shaped as a three dimensional density zoning and only its relationship with the open space is outlined. Selected bungalows are taken and turned into social infrastructure becoming transitions to the inner pattern, while others keep their private condition. Special attention is given to the intersection between the patterns, which become nodes and provide main access from Lutyens’ design to the inner pattern. Flows between constrained and open spaces are generated transitioning within and between patterns. Interconnections between bungalows are created without altering the physical quality of Lutyens’ pattern. The transition into the inner space allows for flows in different levels. Both the intersections and the reprogrammed bungalows become part of a larger system of courtyards that grow inside out. This strategy for encountering the two patterns creates a system of coexistence that promotes equity and empowers the interdependent relationship; giving Delhi’s society access to their city.
SOFT CITY:TERRITORIES FOR REMAKING
Acknowledging the polycentric condition of the city, infrastructural infill is suggested throughout the city using the self-built pattern as indicator. This infill will take place in the identified soft sites that emerged inbetween defined fabrics. In contrast to the rigid condition of the Lutyens’ fabric, the informal pattern follows an organic pattern that shaped Delhi from its original seven cities. Nowadays this pattern persists in the self-built pattern, which has evolved over centuries and has constantly adapted to the changing needs of the society, responding to the contextual condition of the city. Currently 60 percent of the population in Delhi lives under this condition. With the purpose of accommodating the growing population this project suggest an infrastructural infill around Delhi.
In order to respond to the different conditions of the city, we analyzed four different moments: the periphery, between Lutyens’ area and the old city, next to the river, and the Bungalow Zone. The flexible spaces that allowed informal urbanizations to happen were identified as soft sites; territories for remaking and growth WWpotential sites.
SOFT CITY:TERRITORIES FOR REMAKING
Lutyens’ imposed pattern does not respond to the local culture and society. Its exclusiveness limits this area, to a minority of Delhi’s population. As a coexistent informal pattern was found within Lutyens’ rigid condition, Delhi’s local society is claiming the privatized zone, which demands flexibility and represents an opportunity for rethinking the constraints brought by the privatized conditions of the site. Different typologies of soft sites were identified within the Lutyens’ area, and modes of infill were established according to their contextual condition: by creating a bond with social infrastructure and establishing limits with vegetation that will act as buffers and edges. Different densities will control these infill modes. Infill guidelines were implemented based on a system of courtyards, which are defined open spaces that shape the built environment. The process of growth emerges from defining the open spaces around catalysts, which are linked by main roads. The main open spaces will allow the development of secondary courtyards or Angans linked by secondary roads. Lastly through intimate courtyards connected by capillaries roads, the access to the built mass, which is defined by open spaces, is given.

SOFT CITY:TERRITORIES FOR REMAKING
The project focuses in empowering the existent interdependent networks, by opening up Lutyens Bungalow Zone to Delhi’s population and creating a social infrastructure controlled by low density infill that will served cities majority population. The growth process is given by establishing a strategy that acknowledges the flexible pattern that was found within the rigid system of the Lutyen’s Plan. This flexible condition will bring the cultural, self-built character of the rest of the city into Lutyens’ in a more controlled manner. Each soft site is determined by mapping different layers of the existent infrastructure such as tree network, existing roads and fences, and informal settlements, finding the underlying Interdependent networks within these layers.
The informal layer is identified as a catalyst for the inner-out growth of a flexible network that will allow equity between the two patterns. This network consists of a system of courtyards that follow the local and historical process of growth, and intersects with Lutyen’s pattern creating a stronger interdependent network. This operational strategy enables equity between the two patterns. The built mass is shaped by the open space and only its relationship with the open space is defined.

As a result of overlapping layers of existing site conditions, open spaces were shaped. The built mass is defined as a three dimensional density zoning. It reacts to the adjacent context as density increases when it meets the city accesses, such as the subway, and decreases as it meets the intersection with Lutyens’ street design. By making the bungalows and streets serve the inner development, the project turns the Lutyen’s plan inside out.

SOFT CITY:TERRITORIES FOR REMAKING Special attention is given to the intersection between the patterns. They become nodes that provide access to the inner development. In order to achieve equity, the streets of the inner pattern are opened up at the intersection. These accesses are shared open spaces for pedestrians and vehicles. The adjacent bungalows are taken and reprogrammed to face the inner streets. Together with the suggested system of inner courtyards, some bungalows are taken and turned into social infrastructure, while others keep their private condition. Interconnections between bungalows are created without altering the physical quality of Lutyens’ pattern. The transition into the inner space allows for flows in different levels. The core of each block is developed to allow higher densification of the built mass, while the perimeter allows low densification, keeping the visual quality of Lutyen’s streets from the outside. Lutyens’ trees merge into the inner pattern. Both the intersections and the reprogrammed bungalows become part of a larger system of courtyards that grows inside out.

RECLAIMING AND ACTIVATING HIDDEN ASSETS: NEW ROCHELLE, NY
Active recreation from the downtown to the waterfront in New Rochelle. New Rochelle, with its multiple vacancies, has not reached it’s full potential. These missed opportunities and lack of connection between North and South shaped the city’s urban fabric in the last 3 decades. Nonetheless, New Rochelle has important assets that could be leveraged for urban development and as a source of new revenue. Over time, we envision that New Rochelle can become a destination of active recreation for the entire region. In our design, we use these hidden assets to create and activate the public realm. We incorporate different activities for different users, daily, weekend, and seasonal time frames. By empowering the existing potential in both downtown and waterfront and positioning different types of active public realms, we create pull from downtown to the waterfront and hence establish a stronger North-South connection.

A crisis such as an EARTHQUAKE creates a very dynamic, UNSTABLE state where everything
is in constant transformation and architecture has to be reconsidered. In a place where land is so unstable, the architecture also has to be RESPONSIVE to the movements of the ground and be THESIS PROJECT: CARNEGIE MELLON B’ARCH ‘12 FLEXIBLE.
R E - C O N S TR U C T ( I N ) S TA B I L IT Y
The program is a YOUTH CENTER that includes ART CLASS-
ROOMS, PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPY, which is mainly for children and a THEATER AND LIBRARY for the city. Looking at the buildings that got destroyed and my interest in new materials, I experimented a lot with the understanding of HARD AND SOFT BOUNDARIES, flexibility and transformative qualities of architectural spaces. The buildings have to respond to the lateral forces of the site, be able to work with it. I looked at INFLATABLES, PNEU-
MATICS and FABRIC to examine their LIGHT qualities, their FLEXIBILITY, and DYNAMIC ENDURANCE.
The site, Van, in eastern Turkey, has the lake Van, which was the primary social setting, so it was important to re-establish a WATER AND
LAND RELATIONSHIP which was lost after the earthquake. IN TERMS OF THE EARTHQUAKE, THE LAND PROVED TO BE UNSTABLE WHEREAS NORMALLY THE WATER WITH ITS SEASONAL CHANGES MIGHT BE SEEN AS UNSTABLE, BUT IN AN EARTHQUAKE WATER WILL BE THE STABLE ONE.
By creating an artificial landscape on the port to exag-
gerate the understanding of the land and created openings within that leads to the water and makes possible for these inflatable structures to form. Instability is further emphasized by the formation of the land to create conflict with the inflatables. The land is piled high up to create corridors and public areas between inflatables.
The inflatables are fragmented to disperse effects water, is elevated on pontoons, forming the larges The inflatables are elevated from the ground on spring and rubber legs, the floors are formed for various activities happening in them to encourage children to move around play , slide , create mini landscapes, and the ETFE creates a soft boundary between in and the land which reconstructs the trauma caused by buildings in their heads. The inflatables are fragmented to disperse effects of the earthquake. The theater, on the water, is elevated on pontoons, forming the largest and most stable structure. The inflatable on the water, which is the theater , has a different feel to it because it is on water creating a shaky ground which is the water, therefore creating more unstable grounds but when looking at it in the scope of an earthquake, it is actually more stable to be on water than the land, therefore making it the largest inflatable out of all of them.
s of the earthquake. The theater, on the gest and most stable structure.
Perspective of the Psychological Help Inflatable. The floor of the 覺nflatables are formed differently to occupy different programs. They are molded to encourage movement, socializing and play. In this case, the floor slumps down to create seating at the center and puches up to create back rest to look outside and be part of the landscape. The floors and the ribs are wood to create warmth. The inflatables have degrade geometrical patterns etched on them to provide shading on the southern side.
Art Factory Carnegie Mellon University, Professor :John Folan In collaboration with: Joey Koon, Stephanie Newcomb, Frank Scarola, Phyllis Kim Art Factory is the final product of the schematic design and development process of a proposal to improve the neighborhood of Garfield in Pittsburgh. The project extends from the design into the issues of architectural practice and discourse: the city codes and ordinances, contracts between the entities, detailing and material assembly, construction issues, operational and construction costs. This scope of the project focuses on how to expand on the already existing Penn Ave of the Arts (PAAI) along the Penn Ave corridor. Specifically engaging the surrounding communities, the idea is to create a space to provide opportunities for local artists as well as residents with facilities which otherwise are not available around the area. It is a place for working, sharing and learning as well as providing a profitable business that invests in the community. The approach focuses on the adaptive re-use of one of the vacant buildings and a neighboring vacant lot in Penn Ave. The project focuses on the development of the building but also proposes a framework for the Art Factory to grow throughout the corridor and surrounding neighborhoods. As part of the CITYLAB 6% proposal.

RIPARIAN CHATEAU Carnegie Mellon B’Arch’12 In collaboration with Stephanie Newcomb
One of Pittsburgh’s greatest assets are its rivers and Chateau is no exception. For Chateau and Manchester to redefine their relationship within the city they will have to redefine their relationship with the river and water culture. Living quality is
directly related with water quality.
With this in mind, Riparian Chateau is an exploration on how to create a water culture through the collection of storm water from Manchester leading into the Ohio River. Multiple kits of parts establish an infrastructural and experiential framework to start to compose a series of green corridors that collect and convey water. Storm water is collected and cleansed either in the constructed wetlands around the perimeter of the neighborhood or into the living machine in Chateau. The improvement of the water quality in the neighborhood will improve the life style and ecology. Through the use of materials, the character of the neighborhood references the industry and the demolished highway.

CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY | URBAN LAB
Rain-Lab The project is a research center in the CUNY Community College in Bronx, NY. It is composed of lab spaces where different sustainable technologies are developed, tested on how they perform together to be shown for potential buyers coming in from the city. There are four 15,000sq ft labs, which are flexible and can be combined and seperated into smaller components, library, material and product samples library, media lab, classrooms, display rooms, and storage. The building was formed around the natural slope of the site, on which the changing elevation of the slope created different levels of program through which the circulation going through between them creates a glass crevice in the building to collect rain water.
This glass circulation space is formed so that it collects water at certain points around and through the staircases creating a visual understanding that the water will be used throughout the building.
The program contains green roofs, bioswales, and permeable paving for further water usage. The architecture, by using the slope of the site, and connecting to an existing building on site, provides interaction for different occupants.
Bioswales under egress circulation areas.
Grass permeable paving for truck loading areas
Signature Theater
Theater is about illusion, the spectacle and the fantasy. It speaks to all senses, moves the person and heightens reality. The project, a real proposal for Signature Center on 42nd and Dyer in New York City, includes 299 seat end-stage, 199 seat blackbox, 199 seat jewel -box and two rehearsal studios. With a joint class with the drama department at CMU and a trip to NYC, we were able to see and understand the workings of the theater in all its components. The theater will be occupied by the talent, support and audience as well as the city-goers through the subway connection in the building. The movement of these different occupants created the curved walls, staircase as well as the continuously changing facade to intensify the flow and the interaction between its users. The facade is closed for the house part of the theater and opens up for the lobby spaces. The exteriors which are made up of aluminum cladding, glass and stone are contrasted with wood and fabric in the theaters, which are curved for acoustics. The theater is about peoplewatching and the spectacle, so the facade offers views to the street and the floor opens up to see the entrance and the staircase, which is the transcendent moment in the theater.
SKIN TO SKELETON: A Bridge Museum
Brunot Island is a very insignificant, blur of an island in Pittsburgh, but as Pittsburgh is known for its many bridges, the program is a museum for the bridges and connecting Brunot to the city. I was interested in creating a soft line between the architecture and the island, where the
skin and the bones of the architecture respond to the land in different ways to create a sort of haze .
The structure or the bones (looking at the skeleton of a snake) of the bridge and the museum are a repetitive steel truss on which the skin changes from metal scrim, to wood and glass to simulate the shedding, expansion and contraction according to the programmatic spaces to reveal and hide the structure. The metal scrim obscures the structure, clouds over the island and creates shade, and wind protection for the bridge.
People experience different emotions when coping with the loss of a loved one. There is the inevitable sadness, anger, sometimes regret and there is also happiness, calmness, and remembering. The memorial materializes these ever-changing emotions and thoughts through the creation of a continuous
path created by copper walls which in time will oxidize and change its characteristics such as color and texture .
Inspired by David Maisalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photographs of ash filled copper cans in a mental hospital, the copper rods filled with the ashes of the loved one are placed around the site, and over time, like the wall, will subtly change the feeling of the space and create a new remembering and memorializing of the dead.

FABRICATION:
WOOD.METAL.GLASS.PLASTER Metal: Experimentations with welding, casting, etching metals into small scale sculptures. Created headpieces that are part of earrings etched by abstracted feathers etched on the copper, cutting, bending the pieces to fit the curve of the head. Created a door knocker inspired by old Islamic doors, etching a pattern and combined it with a wood base to create the knocker. Cast a three headed animal created with wax into metal.
Glass: Doing Cold and Hot Glasworking at Feleksan Onar Glass Studio in Istanbul since 2005 and also took college classes on kiln-casting, glass blowing, Cold-working. Made scupltures which were exhibited in Istanbul, inspired by the biology of algae and the water, casting and slumping the glass.
Wood: Created a mahogany and cherry table for 1st year studio wedding pavilion project. There are only wood joinery, no screws.
Plastic: With basic knowledge of Grasshopper and scriting created 3d Prints based on SEM Imaging done in Art+Bio class looking at how natural structures can be made into architectural structures.
Plaster: Made components for 2nd year studio that can be structural in different configurations.
