“One way to find food for thought is to use the fork in the road, the bifurcation that marks the place of emergence in which a new line of development begins to branch off.”

William Irwin Thompson

It’s a Firesale!

While the collapse of the global financial markets has undeniably taken its toll on real estate values and new construction, it has also underscored the fact that we—as citizens of a global community—are even more connected and influenced by other regions’ economic systems and social behaviors. The heroic building boom of the last decade saw half-mile-tall towers emerging in the midst of sparsely populated remote landscapes and anticipatory developments created for the rise of the creative class and international tourism. These events ultimately galvanized the transition into a different era—a truly global community that crosses demographic and economic boundaries. This condition has been enabled by the baby-boom management era, both by its impending demise and foresight to lay the infrastructure for virtualized workflows. Current generations have now commandeered this massive network to converge work and leisure. This shift has created a globally aware, highly mobile tribe. Long anticipated, a nomadic modern lifestyle has finally

arrived. This optimism has led to an increased willingness to engage in higher levels of hybridity, blended, or cross-programmed spaces because by virtue of mobile connectivity you’re already in at least two places at once. French philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Pierre-Félix Guattari described this convergence as “smooth space” capable of allowing us to move seamlessly from one condition to the next, virtually or physically. Today, though, we find ourselves living and working between two poles. We’re either completely connected, with our spatial and information needs converging, or completely disconnected, emerging from an onslaught of stimuli that can feel like incessant noise to recover the intimacy of physical, personal, unmediated experience—with another or on our own. Rather than viewing this polarity as simply either/or, we can reframe it as a continuum, within which boundaries no longer exist. Rebalancing Between Convergence and Emergence Ideas_3 is focused on work that speaks to this evolution, accepting

Ocean Avenue Hotel simplifies Reyner Banham’s original 4 ecologies of Los Angeles into 2. Subsumed under a near constant mat of urban fabric, LA’s once varied ecological landscape has been reduced to the generalized condition of city, merely lined along one edge by coast. Ocean Avenue Hotel explores the coplanar boundary between the two. Convergence and Emergence: Pause Points As our level of connectivity continues to grow, so too does the desire to react to this condition through dis-connection. The prevalence of connectivity has reinforced the specific need for such disconnected experiences and, in particular, has substituted the absence of quantity for quality. Put in another way, the singularity of the experience is more important than any other quality. The nature and value of these experiences has become more important than duration or frequency. Behind the prewar and midcentury dreams of flying cars and teleportation were visions of harmonizing competing technologies to make transportation a lifestyle accessory. Network_LA Transit is a competition proposal aimed at solving the gap remaining in the Los Angeles’ Metro system. As a virtualized solution, it avoids the historic strategy of adding another layer of physical transportation to an already clogged system. Rather, it shifts the systems to a crowd source model and puts it to work based on the changing needs and

make-up of its users in real-time. Focusing on location awareness and route monitoring, the project liberates the system based on gathered intelligence. Sarparea De Pandi explores the idea of the nature and value of disconnection by carefully considering the space “in-between.” This Italian resort, woven into an ancient olive grove, transcends the convergence of necessity and sensitivity to allow the emergence of an authentic, immersive experience of nature and spiritual contemplation. Emergence: Rebirth and Ubiquity as Landmark Firmly rooted in the manufacturing history of a struggling Los Angeles community the Southgate Sustainability Institute uses the environmental revolution and the national shift towards vocational education to transform a derelict factory into a work–to-learn landmark focused on sustainability within the community it serves.

INTRODUCTION

our interdependence and connectivity, but recognizing its potential meaninglessness—as noise or distraction—rendering the need for intimacy and silence as real places in time and space. We see this pursuit as a fruitful direction for architects and designers, a radical non-duality with respect to use and program. Convergence: Multiples-to-singular A major arterial highway in central Phoenix is the site for Shade Highway. This project tackles such issues as reducing the growing heat island effect in the desert, finding space for renewable energy generation, and addressing public concern over the visual impact of highways throughout Paradise Valley. The project exploits readily available air space by envisioning a Photovoltaic array over a sun-baked Arizona highway thereby shading acres of freeway while simultaneously generating energy.

The relevance of a landmark may not always be about its history or size. With the decline of domestic manufacturing and the surplus of imports, shipping containers have become increasingly ubiquitous in the US. Retrofitted, sited, and stacked in a rural setting these utilitarian objects act as visual markers in the landscape for Project Arrow. Convergent and Emergent-A Retrospective of the Roaring Noughties The boom-and bust-of the past decade has left us with much to reconsider. The global convergence of technology, socialization, policy, and capital resulted in a brief but productive era. Though highly aspirational in nature, its risks went unheeded, leading to a retreat of nearly equal proportions. These experiences gave rise to major utopian feats of convergence, not just a half-mile-high tower, but a social media site capable of connecting 500 million users. In retreat from such wild speculation, we saw “who was swimming naked,” as Warren Buffett put it. As a new decade begins, progress is converging and what’s emerging is not simply a modification of the past but more of a recalibration of our expectations for the future. Welcome to a new century. -by Benjamin Anderson and Shawn Gehle with John Parman and Li Wen

Candy Choi Luis Cruz-Martinez Don Henning Markus Hering Patrick Magness Rachel Rosso Jay Silverberg Program: Provide shade, generate power and create a new, iconic gateway into downtown Phoenix over the existing I-10 Freeway Location: Phoenix, Arizona Client: City of Phoenix: ‘Gimme Shelter’ - Shade Structure Competition Site characteristics: The existing air space above the I-10 Freeway, which bisects the downtown core of Phoenix. The I-10 is the second most impactful “heat Island” generator in the city. Schedule: Design competition completed in 2009 Freeways were conceived with the intention for one function – the transport of automobiles. As cities densify, this single-purpose real estate is a luxury that will no longer be sustainable. Additionally, this paved land mass increases the level of spent energy by facilitating the relentless burning of fossil fuels while also necessitating the use of more energy to combat the environmental ills caused by its “heat island” effect. Freeways physically cut a path of esthetic blight through cities – an edge that more often divides in its attempt to be the connective tissue of a metropolis. This project converges all these problems into a single solution for the freeway, resulting in a multi-purpose strand of real estate that forms the freeway’s own salvation. 5

Solar Shade Highway Competition The concept utilizes a lightweight shade structure that spans the existing I-10 freeway and supports a continuous photovoltaic array to provide a renewable source of energy to the city. This suspended element would also transform at night into a kaleidoscope of color, enhancing the views from adjacent neighborhoods and thus transform the freeway from esthetic detractor to artful expression. Simultaneously, this new piece of infrastructure will significantly reduce the “heat island” effect through its shading properties, while providing ample ventilation for what little ill effects remain. “In reducing the heat island effect, the amount of smog could also be reduced by up to 10 percent…the equivalent of removing more than 3 million cars from the road” (Source: Computer study by the University of California – Berkeley).

Program: 200 key hotel; 50 branded residences; over 10,000 SF of convention space. Total area: 87,760 SF Location: Palm Springs, California Client: The Oasi Group Site characteristics: Located across from the convention center in downtown Palm Springs with a stunning view of San Jacinto Peak to the west. Schedule: To be determined

This project exploits various interpretations of the site and urbanism to converge multiple design readings within one place. Located in the desert landscape of Palm Springs, the Mondrian Hotel creates a micro-urban oasis in the desert, choreographing experiences that borrow from the nearby mountain ranges while being a place for which each may intimately view their majesty. 11

Two large-scale hotel wings and a clustering of individual units formally define this project, while also establishing two differently scaled neighborhoods analogous with urban housing and urban houses. The two housing wings are oriented to maximize the number of rooms with views to the mountains and frame a central outdoor open space

complete with pool and other amenities, while the individual units are interlocked to form various shared courtyards. In a surrounding urban morphology of loose object and strip buildings, these forms of the Mondrian Hotel define a distinct edge outlining a clear precinct of urban interaction, spatially woven within through a series of bi-lateral axial relationships. A bridge connecting the two wings of the hotel contain all the internal amenities raising them above ground to provide guests with unobstructed panoramas of the surrounding landscape, much as when one walks along the crest of a mountain. One can also hike the roofs of the bungalows, a topography of eaves and platforms that encourage curiosity and exploration â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a trait common to both nature and the city.

Sarah Gibbons Lynn Kubin Neil McLean Philippe Paré Dominick Ricci Jaimelynn Shah Program: An exclusive environment that offers unique travel assistance for HyundaiCard Black members. Total area: 250m2 Location: Incheon International Airport, South Korea Client: HyundaiCard Site characteristics: Located on the Second Level, before the security checkpoint and the duty-free shopping area. Schedule: Completed March 2010

HyundaiCard Air Lounge As a counterpoint to the surrounding visual noise and frenzied airport activity, planning for the space was defined by the unexpected convergence of lounge, retail and museum programs. The proposed parti is deceptively simple, with functions arranged in a freestanding “black box”. Much like a perfectly organized suitcase, this monolithic object contains all the information, accessories, entertainment and gifts needed for a memorable travel experience. The power, aura of mystery and timelessness of such an abstract form encourage visitors to move around and discover the space much like a sculpture or an art installation. 17

The HyundaiCard space shifts the paradigm of a traditional lounge by providing an environment closely integrated to a traveler’s journey. Rather than a static place for waiting, it is a dynamic space one passes through to better prepare for the trip ahead. As such, each visitor is able to pace their movement through the space according to their individual needs, desires and schedules. The availability of time no longer is the main prerequisite for using a lounge. The mysterious black polished granite encourages the repeated convergence of travelers, as there is always something unexpected to be explored behind the stealth exterior.

Travelers move from Point A to Point B.

A typical lounge allows travelers to wait in a comfortable setting.

HyundaiCard lounge users travel from Point A to Point B+. Passage through the HyundaiCard lounge will prepare you for travel and arrival at your destination.

This is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tiffany boxâ&#x20AC;? of this project. As such, it sets the tone for the look, feel and personality of the lounge by providing a contemporary, sophisticated and timeless backdrop with which to tie all the pieces together.

This component can be compared to a perfectly organized suitcase, full with all the information, accessories and gifts needed for a perfect travel experience.

These spaces contain the support functions which will allow lounge employees a seamless operation of the facility. Through efficient planning, the area dedicated to this component of the program is kept to a minimum.

The reception area is located to allow convenient access to either general or VIP member spaces.

This space is designed to be experienced much like one would engage with a sculpture or an art installation.

Virtual Skylight The black boxes act as “skyspaces”, i.e. impressively minimal structures with virtual skylights designed to change the way viewers perceive light. Because of the meditative way in which they channel light, the spaces act as haven-like environments in which travelers become aware of the sky’s variations, thus establishing a symbolic, if not poetic, relationship with the notion of air travel.

Hiraki Sawa Video Installation Born in 1977 in Ishikawa, Japan, Sawa lives and work in London. “Artificial landscapes, unexpected worlds, domestic and imaginary spaces interwoven, presences both felt and remembered – my present preoccupation is with those things that can be seen in the corners, on the edges, in between and beyond”, Sawa says.

Flip Screens Wanting to bring some of the excitement and romance associated with departures, we re-imagined the classic flip screen designed by Giorgio Segatto for the Solari di Udine Station in Milan. Upon check-in with the concierge, a travelerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s information is relayed to one of fifteen LCD displays. Each LCD display cycles through a series of seven slides (guest name, airline, flight number, destination, gate/terminal, flight status and boarding time), thus creating a dynamic, personalized and artful way to ensure that card members make it on time. Truly, science in a Tiffany box. Giorgio Segatto, Split Flap Board Flight Information Display System, MoMA, 1996

Program: 164 key hotel; Total area: 87,105 SF with a 294 space below- grade parking structure. Location: Santa Monica, California Client: Ocean Avenue Travelodge Management LLC Site characteristics: Across from Palisades Park, the project is located on top of the Santa Monica bluff with a direct ocean view; Within walking distance of the beach and Third Street Promenade, the iconic pedestrian shopping street in downtown Santa Monica. Schedule: July 2010 This project exploits the convergence of a spectacular natural landscape with a unique urban fabric, generating physical and experiential bridges that unite the two. Located at the Pacific edge of Santa Monica, the Ocean Avenue Hotel features two buildings where each addresses the differences in their immediate context, but through a series of architectural devices are linked together to provide guests with an integrated experience. 29

Each building is organized around a central outdoor space, but the ocean side is oriented externally towards the views of the ocean and Palisades Park, while the city side is oriented internally to maintain the street edges that support the

Ocean Avenue Hotel vibrant shopping environment along 2nd Avenue. But these differences are countered by a section overlap to spatially stitch the two buildings together whereby the landscape engendered portions of the project extend to the ground floors of both buildings, allowing the city-centric character of the building to occupy the upper levels. In addition, both buildings are clad in zinc bringing a unity of aesthetic sensibility. Wooden privacy partitions between balconies orient views from both buildings to the ocean, experientially linking the two buildings together while retail spaces are situated to form an uninterrupted consumer experience. Finally a bridge spanning the mid-block alley physically connects the two buildings to form a continuous interior.

Location: Any school utilizing relocatable classrooms Client: An ideas competition by Architecture for Humanity Site Characteristics: Any level surface such as a parking lot, bare compacted earth or a grass field. Schedule: Design Dc; Completed in 2009

Blow Up Your School This project challenges the typical spatial segregation of play, work, and teaching activities as a means to address the many ways children intuitively personalize learning, while improving the visual blight of portable classrooms on our built environment. Blow Up Your School converges all three activities into one space that can adjust for a multitude of learning environments to emerge; meanwhile the building idea can adapt to a multitude of sites allowing for the emergence of multiple formal configurations. 37

This project uses various modular systems, mates it with pneumatic structures, and borrows an architectural imagery from the playground to catalyze a new form of learning

environment for K-6 students. Various hexagonal modules are used to construct the floor and the pneumatic domes, which are the most efficient system for enclosing the most area with the least amount of material. The softness of the structure belies the playful spirit intended for the spaces, it’s geometry well suited for exercise and learning of the limits on one’s body. Modular furniture enables endless reconfigurations for various learning activities, while providing children with larger scale objects with which to play and personalize their environment. Learning at Blow Up Your School is not only cognitive but intuitive and immediate through the interaction with one’s own physical environment, thus allowing the classroom to graduate from it’s formal role as a container of education, to be education itself.

Location: City of Los Angeles Client: Sci-Arc, LA Metro, The Architect’s Newspaper. Site characteristics: The Los Angeles public transportation system. Schedule: Design competition completed in 2009

Network_LA Transit The morphology of Los Angeles, unlike most hub & spoke cities, operates as a matrix of ever changing centers. Thus a traditional public transportation system is not efficient or convenient, and not seen as a glamorous substitute for the automobile. A GPS enabled tripfinder app on one’s pda will tap into this matrix’s potential for convenience by empowering one with access to mobility everywhere. Ground transport will be liberated from fixed routes and schedules, while an increased menu of vehicle types will be sorted by tripfinder to provide the optimum form of public transport for each ride. Los Angeles’s future transportation network will now organically adapt to the shifting needs of its ridership. This convergence of separate transport demands through a software solution to emerge with specific 43

public transport solutions advances the individualism that has powered LA’s mythology for generations.

$ by increasing the capabilities of the network, optimizing the existing infrastructure and by upgrading the web interface, metro could provide a more robust set of data- all trip planning could access real time traffic conditions, vehicle locations and route info-making the need for a bus map obsolete.

Benjamin Anderson Dorothy Helmuth Tom Ito Marcello Pozzi Toygar Targutay Program: 60-Suite Boutique Hotel & Spa; 75 Residential Villas; & Restored Masseria with Restaurant; Organic Market & Residence Club Amenities. Location: Nard贸, Italy Client: Oasi Sarparea Site characteristics: Ancient olive grove sited a few hundred meters off of the coast of the Ionian Sea, on a gently sloping site. Anchored by an existing 17th-century fortified villa, or Masseria. Schedule: Design 2008-2009, Currently in Approvals Process, Completion Scheduled 2013.

The intent of this project was to challenge traditional planning approaches common in both resort and residential planning as a way of differentiation and sustainably adapting to given site conditions. 51

Set within a historically preserved, 400-year-old olive grove, the project considered each individual olive tree as sacred. The resultant relationship between architecture and site was thus inversed from common techniques - buildings occupy the remnant voids between existing trees instead of imposing themselves upon this rare native landscape. Thus, dwelling and nature converge around residual space to form a hybrid landscape, from which various architectures and

Sarparea De Pandi experiences emerge. NATIVE NATIVE OLIVE NATIVE OLIVE TREES TREES OLIVE AS AS TREES SCULPTURE: SCULPTURE: AS SCULPTURE: PRESERVATION PRESERVATION PRESERVATION OFOF NATURE NATURE OFAS NATURE AS ARTARTAS ART

Nestled within the ancient olive trees, the buildings respond to three distinct spatial conditions: that of being below, within, and above the grove canopy. These conditions mimic those of a natural tree: overhangs act as branches which shade living spaces below; terraces set within the dense canopies afford privacy between similar neighboring spaces; and rooftops create promontories for expansive views of the surrounding landscape and Mediterranean Sea. These distinctions create an enriched environment to experience and interact with a landscape that has been, by nature of these concepts, preserved indefinitely.

The tower is planned through an efficient repetition of square shaped floor plates with each stack of functions shifted off the central vertical axis. The building skin is then draped over this formal manipulation to veil its geometric origins with a softer profile that can visually be referenced back to the traditional sail forms of Korean boats and their shipping heritage. The space captured between these two shapes becomes the residual open space for various happenings to mix. It also serves naturally to climatize the building, aided by landscape and a double skin that can help control the intake of warm and cool air. A central atrium above the office stack provides a spatial center to the residential district of NARU, while also increasing the ability for this environment to organically take care of itself.

This project proposes taking the vertical expanse of the city and rearranging itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s various program components into a vertical form of the same. Thus hotel, residence, and office programs are stacked with retail and entertainment to form a social condenser that produces other activity offspring through the serendipitous occurrences that such density promotes. Developer demands for efficient floor plates, and cultural demands for symbolism result in a building form that endows vertical residual space with the role of open space for these hybrid activities. Wrapped by an environmentally responsive skin, NARU Tower becomes the vessel through which these various forces converge to produce various predictable, and unpredictable, emergent social results. 59

Air tightness through double skin facades

Residence, Hotel, Service Apartments

The exterior skin shields the interior, insulated wall from the elements. This is especially significant as the high wind pressures on tall buildings cause air leakage in unitized curtain walls which significantly diminishes the overall performance of the facade system.

The double skin facade is naturally ventilate at each level by high and low level openings. The double skin facade acts as a thermal buffer to the occupied zone, reducing glare and heat gains in the summer, and heat loss in the summer. Sliding shutters in the double skin cavity act as external shading and also help to reduce glare and heat gains. The shutters are accessed through openings from the occupied spaces into the balcony between the two skin.
