Post Occupancy of Olympic Stadiums Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Fall 2012 MIT M.Arch Thesis Advisor/Readers: Ana Miljacki, Arindam Dutta, Miho Mazereeuw Building Type: Field Hockey Stadium Vocational School / Community Center

n the surface, the spirit of Olympic Games is about the competition for medals. Underneath the surface, however, lie a series of political, economic, and social agendas. Individual Olympians represent their Nations. Rising modernity, stabilization of economies and social cohesion of nations are represented by the contemporary Architecture of the Games. Every Olympic Game has resulted in a significant change in the host city and presented the host country with a unique opportunity to shed a new light on itself in front of a global audience. In anticipation of presenting a brilliant, dynamic image to the world, Olympic cities often build contemporary sporting arenas that follow similar design patterns of generating iconic and autonomous buildings with relatively fixed programs. In order for a city to accommodate such a large number of newly constructed sporting venues, a trend has emerged whereby cities shift the games from the urban core to outlying peripheries, scattered throughout the suburbs. After the 17 days of international use, the venues return to serve the host cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs. But the stadiums are largely freestanding objects that compete with preexisting residential fields for the occupancy of local teams. These local teams often favor smaller arenas that are less maintenance-intensive and are more widely accessible due to their greater proximity to the city core. As a result, Olympic stadiums become underused, labeled as white elephants and even in some instances abandoned.

The next Olympics will be held in Rio, which has the 5th largest economy in the world while also having one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lowest GDP per capita. This thesis explores the possibility of exploiting the flamboyant nature of the Olympics to create a dual purpose field hockey stadium, the design of which is flexible enough to adapt to a post Olympics transformation into a vocational school.

FAVELA

Because of the relationship of favelas to the city, the creation of public spaces adjacent to favelas would benefit a diverse range of social and economic classes. If public space becomes the key driver in determining where Olympics stadiums should be located, then the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro can be the stimulus for an infrastructural upgrade that creates a network of public spaces connected by public transportation. Rather than being accessible to only 13% of it its inhabitants, the proposed site would then be accessible to a wide range of its inhabitants. Design For Reuse: Post Occupancy Of Olympic Stadiums

Morro(mountain) São Carlos is in a cluster of favelas located in the Estácio district of the city. It is east of downtown, west of the Marcãna stadium (world’s largest soccer stadium by capacity), and adjacent to the Sambadrome by Oscar Niemeyer. It is culturally significant because that is where Samba was invented. The community is composed of industrial workers, their families, and many artists. The adult population work either directly north of the site in the industrial district, the government center,POST-OLYMPICS or elsewhere via the subway or bus. In this thesis, this site has been selected for OLYMPICS 2016 the Olympic field hockey stadium. Currently it2016-xx sits empty but for the last 30 years it has been a prison; creating a barrier between where people work and live. While the prison has been demolished, its walls remain. As a result, São Carlo lacks access to amenities such as transportation, public space, and schools. While the inhabitants live fairly close to their work, they are forced to take indirect routes to their destinations. Because of such isolation, unemployment and illiteracy are high and thus, this area has a higher crime rate than the rest of Rio. 8

The goal of programming is to find synergies between the programs of a vocational school and field hockey stadium. All school programs are within the red box while all stadium programs are within the blue box. The intersection shows programs that can be shared between the two and do not need unique ones of their own. Programs in blue highlight the possibility of modification, such that their initial purpose is to eventually adapt into a new program. For example, the field hockey stadium dimensions are similar to that of the smallest non-international soccer field. Such a transformation allows the field for a relatively unknown sport in Brazil to instead become a venue for the most popular sport on the planet. Rooms within the school will fluctuate in programming such that the downtime will allow expansion into a bigger community center. Design For Reuse: Post Occupancy Of Olympic Stadiums

Parking/Manufacturing: The roof will provide for continuous shading from parking to seats. It will later serve as water collection and ventilation exhaust. 10

Observation/School Courtyard: Provide views to the favelas, but also serves as a courtyard providing the favela Sao Carlos views into the school.

Entrance/Market: Seats during the Olympics. Solar power station after the Olympics for the market.

At the macro level, most Olympic stadiums are objects because they have a difficult time fitting into their environment. There is rarely any mediation between the object and the field. It is also programmatically very different from the adjacent buildings. This is reinforced by the buffered space that contributes to its isolation from its surroundings. On a micro scale, the material tectonics create closed systems. These stadiums are intentionally not created for flexible use as expansion is not part of the design. The stadium could not read if one piece was missing. Every piece is part of the whole. The roof will organize the programs underneath. Each segment of the roof will have a different purpose during the Olympics and after. Some will collect water while allowing for exhaust ventilation. Others will take advantage of the flatter areas of the ridges to enable installation of flexible solar PVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that harvest electricity for the market below. This will allow the Stadium to be an object but yet function very much like it is part of the city. Design For Reuse: Post Occupancy Of Olympic Stadiums

Olympic Infrastructure

In order for a stadium to differ from a prison, it must be accessible and porous, yet provide adequate security. The stadium will be divided and organized by the infrastructural bars. Inside the bars are circulation spaces with a few Olympics specific programs. Programs include: stairs, escalators, elevators, media recording rooms and VIP lounges/rooms. The bars will provide the infrastructure to move vast quantities of people across the site and to their seats. The bars set up the post-Olympics logic of treating the stadium 12

as zones: Manufacturing, classrooms/lecture halls, public field, and market. The same infrastructure that allowed people to get to their seats during the Olympics will then be used to provide direct access to homes in the favela. This will create the link between the favela and the adjacent industrial area. Additionally, large open areas in the circulation will allow programs such as a market to exist and provide jobs and access to food for the neighboring favela.

Barcelona’s

plan to become a self-sufficient city is well under way. In the 22@ area, there are attempts to combat various inefficiencies of energy and material consumption. But none deal with Barcelona’s major shortages of water. In 2008, a drought pushed Barcelona to the edge of crisis; some tabloids had headings such as “Spain sweats amid ‘water wars’” and “Barcelona forced to import emergency water.” To sustain its population, Barcelona spent €21M a month to import 63 shipments of water from other parts of Spain and France. However, the effort was only able to serve the consumption of 25% of its inhabitants. Since the drought, Barcelona has built 6 desalinization plants that use reverse osmosis (RO) to generate fresh water. However, the production of water consumes nearly 10% of all energy spent by the city. 30% of Catalonia’s imports are energy alone. In recent decades, a technology has been employed in many arid climates whereby seawater is converted to drinking water in a Greenhouse (GH) desalination plant. In addition to being able to produce fresh water, the plant is also a habitat which allows for a more favorable production of food. But this technology has not been deployed in an urban environment since the water production from a GH plant of moderate size can only sustain about 1000 people. While RO plants can produce 50 times more water, they are roughly 260 times less energy efficient then GH plants. This project therefore is to speculate on the integration of GH plants to create a network of sustainable neighborhoods. Instead of factories that have machinery hidden from the public, desalination plants can be more like community gardens or neighborhood markets. By educating and evoking public curiosity, this project fuses water desalination and food production with cultural and public amenities for a neighborhood much like the Ferns in the Back Bay or the Eden Project in in Cornwall. Ultimately, it seeks to inform the public of their water use and water generation through architectural design.

Cambridge, Massachusetts Spring 2012 Instructors: Building Type: Class Topic: Team:

M.Arch Year 3 Workshop Larry Sass Summer pavilion Digital fabrication & communications Class Collaboration

This design exercise was to test collaboration in the digital

age. Could a team of 14 design a pavilion with only 2 physical meetings, in only 4 weeks, and fabricate and assemble it in 4 days? Developing digital communication techniques and coordination was key to the success of the project. As part of the collaboration, our team (3) were responsible for coming up with an assembly method, integrating the structure with the foundation, and designing the concrete footings. Our initial understanding of a foundation was that it had to fit with the form of the element and that it was very much an extrusion as a function of structures. Our early sketches had elaborated on a few things; we wanted uniqueness but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the trouble of creating unique molds for ever possible conditions. Various models were made to test the connections between the structure and footing and the mold design. Eventually a design involving spacers allowed the footing to be modular while the connections could be parameterized. Modularizing the concrete parts allowed the molds to remain the same and all the pieces to be cut out from just 4 sheets of plywood. For the mold, we came up with an idea where the mold would expand when one pulled the sides upward. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s partly because the form of the foundation allowed the notches to not be vertical so there was no perpendicular relationship with the pour. Therefore the mold walls are never moving parallel to the surface of concrete as you pulled it apart. The connection pieces allow the structure above to just land on the foundation. As designs were tested, the mold was modified so it was easier to remove. Eventually splitting the mold became priority to allow the mold to be as reusable as possible. The construction joint is hidden with the use of groves.

oxbury is a vibrant community with a rough recent history. During the civil riots of the 70’s, stores on Blue Hill Avenue were looted and eventually burned down, leaving a desolate and abandoned landscape. This landscape of burnt down buildings and trash filled lots discouraged commerce and business development. With the crack epidemic of the 1980’s, Roxbury became one of the most dangerous and least occupied counties in Boston. Historically however, this particular site was occupied by the Ice industry, which had a powerful influence on the economy of Boston and the commerce of the world. When the invention of the refrigerator made the ice industry obsolete, other industries moved in. Groundwater contamination from the occupation of these other industries resulted in a drop in estate and increase in infectious disease. The purpose of this project is to clean the site through Phytoremedation, the use of plant roots to extract contaminants, and to incorporate public galleries into the icehouse/incubator which reveal the interior and act as a panoptic. Public engagement would encourage future designers to not develop inventions that contaminate the area. The reuse and reactivation of this building unlocks the social and historic potential of an Icehouse.

Village for Vitality Jinan, China

Summer 2012 Collab. Workshop w/ Qinhua Univ. Instructors: Dennis Frenchman Jan Wampler Design Type: Mixuse Urban Residential Community Team: Alexis Howland, Chia Yang Weng, Ian Caine, Liu Cheng, Yu Tao.

illage for Vitality (V V) is dedicated to increasing the compatibility of West Jinan with the natural environment by providing sustainable development strategies to link individuals , groups. and community-based ecological activities. V V is a project of the MIT-Tsinghua Joint Urban Design Studio that promotes the concept of energy efficiency and emphasizes sustainability with smart urban growth. The goal of our project is to improve the quality of the air; lower the use of nonrenewable resources; encourage the building of green homes, offices, and other structures; reserve more u ser friendly green space, support environmentally-friendly methods of transportation (electric vehicle and bicycle sharing program); and offer recycling programs. V V embraces livable-city principles and design strategies that enhance the health and well-being of citizens in urban environments. 藉由连结个人、团体及小区生态环境的发展策略，本案「活力新城」旨在兼顾济南西部新城开发与自然环境的保护。又本案是美国麻省理工学院与中国清华大学联合都市计划课程的实习作业，该课程主要目的再探讨减少都市能耗、可持续发展及智能型都市成长。城市的生产效能源自于城市环境的健康程度，本设计思想主要在提升空气质量、降低能耗、鼓励绿色建筑、创造多样绿地、绿色交通(电力车及共享脚踏车措施)及资源回收。「活力新城」的规划成果展现本组对于可居住性城市的想法，藉由本案的都市设计手法，希望可以提供济南市民更健康及舒适的都市活环境。

Strategostructure

WTC, New York City

Fall 2011 M.Arch Year 3 Studio Instructors: Joshua Prince Ramus Otto Ng Bldg Program: Adaptive reuse of (e) skycrapper commercial base. Tower programs replaced w/ cultural venues. Team Cinema: Alex Marshall & Nancy Kim

Strategostructure

studio is tasked with the complex ideological riddle of negotiating issues of urbanism, political/ social frameworks, institutions, ego, form, structure, expression, authorship and culture, all of which must endeavor to coalesce into a “cultural totem”. In order to define “cultural totem”, (a potential architectural typology) used to define a tower composed of 4 discrete cultural venues (museum, library, theater, cinema), it is important to first understand the meanings of culture and totem. Culture is most often defined as shared attitudes, values, goals and practices that characterize an institution, organization, or entity. This serves to define patterns of human knowledge, belief and behavior that depend upon the capacity for social learning and symbolic thought. Totem is defined as a symbolic representation of a group. Mission Statement: The Cultural Totem shall provide an opportunity to experience four discrete cultural venues as one cultural institution. Combining four discrete silos of information provides a more holistic experience than what currently exists. Thus this provides four or more multiple perspectives. It heightens the experience and can increase social and cultural awareness. The four venues will be combined via synergized programs between the museum/library, library/ theater, and theater/cinema. The methods of synergizing consist of reinvention, invention, and spatial confluence. Synergistic spaces are a reflection of an insistent stance we are taking to convey that culture is a network of perceptions, thoughts, ideas – how information is absorbed. This constant flow of information stimulates brain activity, which is tied to the fact that the more you know, the more you realize the intrinsic network of venues – that all the venues rely on each other to be enriching environments.

The ranking system works as follows. Each program is ranked based on the percieved position in the building stack, based on substantial evidence relating to each category. In each category the program is assigned a number value, which is then summed to find the proper position in the strategostructure. The lower the value, the lower the position in the stack.

Urban Archive Leechmere, Boston Fall 2010 M.Arch Year 2 Studio Instructors: Ana Miljacki MeeJin Yoon Building Type: Library / Metro Stop

At one point in history, books became faster than

architecture at spreading culture and knowledge, but in the late 20th century, the internet undermined the book in its turn. Today the speed of the book seems glacial when compared to the speed of the internet, which grants its users instant access to vast amounts of information. In America, access to the internet has increased from 44% to 72% within the last 10 years. Books are digitalized and read online without necessitating any physical trip to the library. As the value of the book is lost, the architecture that houses it becomes vague. In the last 10 years, we have also seen a steady, 4.5% decrease in the circulation of library books per year; however, the number of library visits has increased by 12%. In the most traditional sense, the space of the library was dedicated to a collection of books. It was an interface between that organized authoritative collection of knowledge and the readers who sought it out, first private and then public. But in the modern scenario, the library collection has expanded to include many additional programs such as digital media, maps, childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collections, tax aid, and job training. In recent years, libraries, some of which even include cafes, are becoming social centers one visits for specific services and information rather than for books. Considering the possibility that books will become even more obsolete than they are today, and that books may even reach the status of relics, my project relegates the book to the archive. The purpose of this maneuver is both to acknowledge the reality of the contemporary library (other public deliveries of knowledge and spaces of interaction are, in fact, relevant today) and to elevate the book anew as an object. Through their symbolic presence in the archive, books are simultaneously presented as a towering mass and as fragile objects to be handled with special care.

Fort Points, Boston, MA Fall 2009

M.Arch Year 1 Studio

Instructors: Building Type:

Nick Gelpi William O’Brien Jr. Theater

ort Points has been known as the empty streets of South Boston, where night life is frequent but hidden from the public. The Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) has decided to purchase and locate their theater here to increase the transparency of theatrical performances as well as the social aspects of theater. In doing so, the ICA is attempting to create new gathering and public spaces that provide a contrast to other, generally hidden public spaces in Fort Points. DEPTH OF FIELD (DoF) is a project that conceptualizes the theatrical experience as one that varies as much as the visibility of city. In the 1930’s, Lewis Mumford explains, “The city creates the theater and is the theater.... The streets are the set and the people are the actors.” The backdrop of city itself creates dynamics within the story of the theater. There are four (4) theaters within the complex, ranging from a “Blackbox” (theater with only artificial lights) to a “Whitebox” (theater with all natural lights). The “Blackbox” is located underground where the theater has complete control of the view of the city. The “Whitebox” is a public space located at the top level of the complex, where the visitors have 3a Material Syscomplete freedom over their view of the city. Further, tems Study the “Whitebox” allows for a view back to ICA. The mixed 3a Material Systems Study use theaters in between have limited visibility to the city, and use this limited visibility selectively for framing. The circulation provides glimpses into the theater space where the viewers can be observed by the public, enabling the public to acknowledge the theater is in operation and fulfilling their role as actors within the city.

SoftWoods Spring 2011 M.Arch Year 2 Workshop Instructors: Sheila Kennedy Nick Gelphi Objective: Prototyping sustainable wood technologies through studying existing wood chair.

rchitectural production has been unsuccessful in addressing the most imperative challenge in the world:finite resources. There are, however, opportunities for architects to explore soft design solutions with the consideration of energy consumption, in terms of material choice, production process, and design performance. A significant amount of parametric projects have been focused on approximating doubly curved surfaces. However, the increased use of generative computation design and digital fabrication has often led to an increase of material waste. Soft wood, which lends its ability to bending, molding and many other possible operations, has the potential for realizing digital generative forms. In order to advance the doubly curved wood application in the digital era, the history of the twentieth century design masters Charles and Ray Eames, who successfully responded to the social and economic crisis around World War II by designing wood products using the mass production method, was carefully studied. Three important aspects were discovered form, material and process optimized and catered for mass production, ergonomics achieved through curving surfaces in relation to body, structural stability achieved through doubly curved surfaces. Synthesizing these ideas, Proto-Soft Shingles were developed. The hollow shingles are combined with an existing construction system called brettstapel to create an wood system that allows buildings to be easily recyclable yet retain properties of water resistance and insulation.

Increasing density in the city is inevitable, resulting in

degradation of the quality of life. In the 20th century, this disturbance along with the development of motorized vehicles fueled the development of suburbs, moving man further from his work. What if suburban qualities of personalization and individualism are brought to a tower next to work and coexist with collaboration and proximity? What if we look at residential space as an expansion of a solid in a voided space, commercial space as is an expansion of a void in a solid space and support spaces as a result of mutation between the two towers? This project strives to accentuate what is most lacking in the current condition by implementing a new system for providing personalizable and pleasurable space within the pre-estimated perimeter.

+ Above: Aerial view of tower centers Residual voids between residential & commercial towers are publicly accessible areas that weave through and connect the solid masses. Voids offer opportunities to maximize freedom of spatial configuration, duplicability, variations, expandability from macro to micro scales. The requirements/characteristics/economics/density of the inhabitants parametrically drive the shape of the towers, which then shapes the mutation of the green space.

The residential tower adopts a system of modular exposed framework as a means to provide maximum openness and exposure to sun and air to the occupants. Each individual house in a flexible habitat is free to combine or detach with neighbors and free to translate within their given area to personalize their spaces that reflect their needs.

Street View: The interior gardens and supporting commercial spaces act as an extension of the building occupying space above the transportation infrastructure.

Commercial Tower Mutations

The office tower allows its owners to take measures to satisfy the occupant needs. Owners can prefer the maximize square footage to be used for housing the most staff to increase productivity or if they feel the need to increase in light and exposure, they can choose to hollow out from the usable office space. Voids offer opportunities to maximize freedom of spatial configuration, duplicability, variations, expandability from macro to micro scales.

eathers Permitting -- a proposal for the 2010 Fig. 8.6 Program -- Typological MoMA/ P.S.1 Young Architects aspires to Und broaden affiliations between natural processes and cultural practices. It seeks to sponsor a renewed curiosity in spatial, temporal, and conditional patterns of environmental transition to which we may have grown accustomed. The installation is conceptualized as a terrain, a continuous and varied landscape, which resists rigid typological classification. Rather, through formal and compositional metamorphosis, the terrain enfolds a spectrum of diverse, yet correlated landscape characteristics. It is designed as an elevated boardwalk with unconventional properties including malleability and water retention. Conceived as a flexible construct, the design makes use of the common-directionality and inherent material-flexibility of parallel planks of wood in order to guide the locations of folds in its surface. Transitions between two-dimensional surface and three-dimensional volume offer multiple littoral zones which mimic the variety of aquatic conditions typically associated with coastlines. Participating in the repetitive cycles of time and the indeterminate patterns of weather, depressions in the terrain collect and evaporate water intermittently, registering the oscillation of environmental conditions.

Heroes Memorial attempts to systematically guide visitors to their loved and lost ones. It seeks to reveal the tensions of two ongoing wars: Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), while simultaneously sponsoring a dynamically growing memorial. The memorial is conceptualized as two ribbons that wrap and insert themselves into the landscape, continuous yet varied in magnitude to respond to various programs within the memorial. The fingers of the memorial are used as entrances, observation decks and future expansions. The outer ring represents the OIF casualties while the inner ring represents the OEF casualties. The flags along the perimeter group the state into regions of the United States the soldiers are from. The entrance paths which ramp downward into the mall of the memorial create the boundaries of the region in which visitors can find their lost ones, with those casualties closest to the mall being the most recent. As the war continues, the memorial will grow, allowing for the expansion of a few fingers in creating a more canyonlike and claustrophobic space. '-2

roject_Rorschach, an exhibit exploring architecture through obscured perspectives. It was on view at the Boston Society of Architects space as part of the Boston Design Biennial from February 12 to May 15, 2013. Attendees were given their own set of ten cards accompanying the exhibition. The famed Rorschach cards were once only printed on an antique press in Switzerland and sold to licensed therapists. With the advent of the internet, the classic images are now ubiquitous and the Boston Society of Architects (BSA) employed them as a reference for seeing images of contemporary architecture differently. The front of an architectural Rorschach card. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not immediately apparent which architectural trope was used here. The back of the same card reveals a series of buildings composing the image. Grouped by type and shape, photographs of famous buildings are layered on ten Rorschach-inspired cards. These architectural Rorschach images are saturated compositions of visual themes like chimneys, cantilevers, towers, circles, and stacks. The exhibition is designed to help viewers contemplate the way architects continue to re-interpret common images to create imaginative, new designs.

METROSCAPES

Refections of the American Landscape

2007-Current www.georgexlin.com

Native to California, George X. Lin received his Bachelor’s degree from UC Berkeley and is currently completing his Master’s of Architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Exploring and experiencing new environments has always been his fascination. While growing up in California, he was blessed to be in close proximity to nature. However, at the time he did not realize how fortunate he was to be surrounded by nature and all its beauties, partly because many people in his life fantasized instead about exotic countries abroad. Simply finding the time to experience everything one’s hometown and the nature nearby have to offer is challenging, let alone other cities and countries. While George was fascinated by his travels abroad, these travels led him to realize that the same diversity exists here in his backyard. The only requirement to discovering this diversity was occasionally venturing off the beaten path and exploring. Getting lost often times helps us to find ourselves. George hopes that this book can be an inspiration for others to find time in their lives for a journey, whether it be in new cities or out in nature away from familiar environments. Metroscapes: Reflections of the American Landscape is a book that explores the contrasts and sometimes the influences between the rural and urban and vice-versa. This is his journey and reflection of America, a metropolis of urban and rural landscapes.
