NYC air rights

Through my experience in Manhattan, I participated several projects, comparing myself with multiple actors in the sector (architects, engineers, developers, planners, real estate agent and contractors) and trying to grasp the dynamics that have made the city today. From this, the desire to examine New York’s urban system as an architype of the metropolitan system and as a “vertical� city, was born.

These objectives his guided research to focus on the instrument that has caused and continues to govern the vertical growth of the island. All this identifies the Air rights (the transfer of unused rights) ,the central theme of my thesis, that use statistical tools for identifying the data on the density of the city and the vectors that drive growth. The analysis focuses on the reasons and influences that drive the island to a continuous growth. The lowest common denominator of these techniques is the transfer of unused square meters (Air rights): the subject is studied through definitions, historical analysis, methodological and case studies, investigating the consequences on architectural design. This case proves significant to understand the law as a tool for the negotiation of the shape of the project although not belonging to the architecturaldiscipline.

ON AIR

NEW GRID

The image has the will occupy the gaps i Manhattan has always been considered the road system that scans the built, through the transfer of air rights of buildings that have not made the most of the sizes allowed.

The road network is extruded offering new horizontal paths and pedestrian, a commercial level and a green roof.

The project proposes to combine the various levels of the different functions arranged in a hierarchical manner by the travel time faster to the slower one. The first levels are designed for vehicular traffic, the upper floors are arranged into shops, pedestrian and finally the green roof dedicated to leisure, public “slow� area equipped to break away from themetropolitan congestion underground.

NEW PUBLIC SPACES

The vision shows a Manhattan of the future where the patchwork of isolated dictated by rigid scanning Grid, elevated on stilts as stilts on a ground floor which is fully public.The original peaks are emptied in the early levels to give rise to a large plaza covered by increasing the space to be allocated to the public. This leads to the increase of the height of the buildings, raising the entire Manhattan skyline, offering the possibility to all the blocks to increase their development potential of 20%. The policy that guides the project is based on a speculative activity that characterizes the act today, taken to extremes in the future;the square meterage offered wil be increased, thanks to the height, more luxurious conditions, with an exponential increase in the price of the property.

PLATFORMS

The strategy, focuses on building a Manhattan that has as its objective the construction even higher of towers, but the need to multiply the streets, creating a new network of beltwayselevated to connect new public and private spaces that exploit square meters of undeveloped lower buildings.

New, diverse plans are being birthed at every level, where the city would be seen as a single large building connected by corridors leading to the different floors.

The project arise from the primitive idea of Kancha Incas as cornerstone on which to develop an architecture that guarantee a new hight quality of spaces and new services.

The concept of Kancha takes first the meaning of the enclosure in which trigger mechanisms related to stop and passage (move). The second meaning is the architectural concept on which it is possible to design functions and uses different social spaces with a view to improving the existing spaces.

Values Mantain a relationship of CONTINUITY with the pre-existence, establishing a dialogue while reclaiming of ROUTE that characterizes the Gaietta bridge.

BREAKAGE is given by the technology of the structure.

Shape The form takes up the ROUTE of the Gaietta bridge reshape the SINUOUS PERFORMANCE (trend). The purpose is to insert at the center of visual way through a structure arches. The inclination of the arches allows a comparison less direct in height with the pre-existence.

Materials The choice of materials is to use of technologies that can contain the section. The structure is SLIGHT, where there is an easy reading hierarchies on the values that characterize my project. Regarding the treatment of the walk, I wanted to revive the tripartite division of the route of the bridge, to affirm the value of CONTINUITY.

urban dowel in Turin

The project consist to design amultifamily house with apartments of different size.The goal was to have double facing apartments and to provide natual light in all rooms.

In fact the volume is caraterized by “holes of light�.

The building is developed in depth also to keep the profile og the street having buildings with differences highs.

The facede wants to show what happing inside with different forms. in plan it was importnat to achive the maximum flexibility with apartment of different sizes.
