ISLANDS 02 RISING -URBAN DESIGN Jan.8-Jan.17, 2013 University of Pennsylvania Winner: Schenck-Woodman Memorial Scholarship Competition Project Location: Grays Ferry, Philadelphia, PA, USA Group: Heng Gu, Brian Mcveigh, Janice Kim, Angelina Jones My work: Part Landscape Plan, detail design, diagram DESIGN SITE Greys Ferry, Philadelphia, PA 2 acres 83,000 sf of retail

RISING ISLANDS As illustrated by Storm Sandy, there is an urgent need to prepare urban communities for extreme weather events with flexible, safe, and expedient evacuation plans. This project is an intervention for the PathMark parking lot in Gray’s Ferry that routinely provides flexible event space and parking and functions as a state-of-the-art operations center and evacuation point during emergencies. This project engages the Schuylkill River Trail, acting as a point of connection during everyday operations and as an emergency landing dock when flooded. The site includes interventions designed for two different scenarios: daily use and emergency. For daily use the parking lot is fitted with platforms and poles that can be used to erect tents for markets and a screen can be placed above the façade of Pathmark for movie projection. In an emergency storm event, there are measures such as bioswales and constructed green islands in the Schuylkill that mitigate flooding and a platform system that allows the emergency center and pods to float. The entire site is lit by water filtration lanterns and light posts that act as beacons in the storm.

.24.


From the view of architects, the arch could also form different spaces for various activities. Part of the arch support could be used for public transportation while the upper part is to withstand loads. Therefore, there are a lot more possibilities for the utilization because the bearing capacity meets the demand. Moreover the shield could also be used as overlooking stand to enjoy marvelous lake view. However, we should not forget the whole structure comes from the through-wood arch on famous old Chinese painting. .

.25.


To work out the most reasonable size of the structure, we establish a structure diagram model (as shown in the picture), in which the control bridge span is 185 cm. The structure is made of Q235 steel material. To simplify calculation, we ignore self weight of the material. Cross logs are arranged in each node place, so load transferred to system(I)&system(II) can be regarded as a concentrated force, as 1000N we set. We set a series of anglesθto study the structure stress to determine the best size.

With symmetrical structure & symmetrical load, we could divide the structure into 2 parts. (1)(2)(4)(5)are 4 members we have to focus.

.26. Ignoring the influence of shearing force(V),the equivalent stress isσ

=(N/A)+(M/W).It is obvious that 18 system could yield a rather even bending moment distribution and rather small equivalent stress. So I decide to use 18 system to make my constructure.

As for through-wooden arch, we should pay particular attention to members 1-3&2-4 when the whole structure is under partial load, which will generate large negative bending moment. This problem is called void node. As shown in picture, effected by partial load, the nodes in circles are already void and have lost connection with system(I). At this time, the simplified structure diagram should change because nodes 2-8&3-9 actually have lost their effect.

Affected by partial load, the structure performance fell bending moment(M) sharply. For this reason, changing the 2-8,3-9nodes void direction of walking path is not only a creative or random 3-9node void idea, but also a reasonable and 2-8node void optimized alternative because none node void now that people would mostly walk in the middle part. The two sides are no longer 12 necessary paths to be passed.

primitive path(more partial load)

From the charts we can see, as long as there is one or two nodes lose their effect, the influence of the internal force of structure will be very complex and danger is also very clear. Using strong material to connect Therefore, the connection between two systems and the 2 systems reliability of the nodes are very important to the safety of the structure. Not only does it change the absolute value of stem force, it may also change force properties, causing serious material fatigue damage. derivate of the connecting nodes also So we should not only ensure reliable connections between 2 can make shields systems, but also focus on the reliable connections between nodes and upper two stems with the intention to form a rigid domain.

Dead Load Analysis Considering self weight of structure, we decide that horizontal uniformly distributed load: q1=46.8KN/m.................(2) q2=66.18KN/m................(1)(3) q3=57.85KN/m...............(4)(7) q4=49.21KN/m................(5)(6)

According to the charts, the stem in the middle is the most dangerous. So I use arch instead of horizontal stem to resist bending moment. And which arch is the most reasonable? y

f l/2 reasonable arch axis: y=4fx(l-x)/(l*l) As you can see, under the vertical uniformly distributed load, the reasonable arch axis for three hinge arch axis is second-degree parabola.

x reasonable arch axis Affected by a given load, reasonable arch axis can make zero moment for all sections of the arch.

From the charts, we can see that under partial load, the structure will generate large bending moment, however, the horizontal stem will not be influenced. So to keep structure safety, the diagonal member should be reinforced.

T

he building system is built layer by layer, which gives inspiration to the construction of the connection system. I have already focused on the horizontal bond of my connection system, however, overlooking another important direction--the vertical direction. Examining the whole system, I found that the connection system is fixed by the building system, which poses a big pressure on building system. So is it possible that the connection system could be fixed by itself?

T

he picture on the left shows how the building is built. It is also formed by layers. How are they fixed? The idea comes from the memory of building blocks in my childhood. Blocks are fixed together by 1st+2nd embedded holes or bulges. In that way, each block could be connected strongly. This leaf-like building is also built in this way. Without traditional beams and pillars, different layers are connected by built-in system. Therefore, why not I import this 1st+2nd+3rd system to my connection part?

Holes of the connection system leave special space for plants. According to my imagination, water plants could grow through the system and grow above the highest layer. That is to say, nature itself fills those holes of connection system.

Different colors mean different sectorizations. Although in outdoor room, the space could still be divided to some extent. However, they are not divided completely. In fact, the upper layer is the extension of the bottom layer.

F2 F1 Different layers are necessary part of the structure. However, they also divide various space for people to utilize. In fact, these different spaces provide more possibilities of people’s activities.

To show the overall tectonics of the constructure, I made a vertical section to achieve a clear illustration. Also, I adjust the transparency of the buildings to show a distinct picture of the interior situation. The connection part could yield many holes (empty space) for aquatic plants. In that way, those tall plants could go above the structure to form special scene. The remains of the connection system function as vital communication lines & some space for special uses such as recreation, dinners and enjoying beautiful views. 3 layers and the related buildings form 3 different spaces at different heights. The main buildings are not isolated leaves now. People could easily go to another one through the connecting branches. By the way, they have the alternative to stay inside and rest for a while.

building through all 3 layers

Picture in the left mainly shows the basic four parts of the constructure. It also demonstrates the relationships between the four parts. With the building part going through 3 layers, all the isolated islands are connected firmly.

The basic cube It represents the space people most stay in. They are the primal components of the new city and can be served for different uses. Also, the size can be variant for different uses.

The green cube It represents the public or open area for recreation, exercise or activities. These cubes randomly dot in the groups of the basic cubes. They combine to form the new city.

The original concept .38.

The connection cube It is the most crucial part of the new city for it acts as the connection and joint of those cubes to make the whole system stronger, while at the same time functions as space.
