VAUXHALL SYNAPSE A STRUCTURE BY WHICH SOCIAL IMPULSES PASS DIGITALLY FROM PERSON TO PERSON LOCATION ........................................................... LONDON, UK PROGRAM ...................... MASTER PLANNING INTERVENTION COMPLETED ............................................................ MAY 2013 PROFESSOR ............................................... SIMON ATKINSON TEAM ............. J. SHERMAN, A. KRONK, B. PESA, M. MARVIN SOCIAL NETWORKS : Social media engagement is an important contemporary indicator of human activity. The image (right) depicts the relative calm of social media interaction in Vauxhall in comparison with central London. The major demographic of this district is already social media savvy, and re-imagining this communication medium as a method of encouraging public interaction through lighting installations will spawn new ways for people to connect, create, and enjoy what Vauxhall has to offer. MOVEMENT INFRASTRUCTURE : The existing transportation modes in Vauxhall are underutilized. Linking the district’s elevated train platforms to the adjacent park and providing a high-quality public space at the platform level will create a positive experience for those waiting for trains or just passing by. Introducing a wharf next to Vauxhall Cross will provide more adequate access to water transportation, create a buffer for the rest of the public riverfront, and reinforce a unique view of Parliament and downtown London from the train station platforms. LIVING SYSTEMS : =H\_OHSS OHZ SVUN ILLU PKLU[PÄHISL I` P[Z pleasure garden. Its presence along the tidal Thames estuary also presents the opportunity for natural conservation to create a riverfront for all to enjoy. The tradition of allotment gardens in Vauxhall is also consistent with the increasing desire for sustainable and local food sources. Connecting these distinct living systems will give Vauxhall residents and visitors a unique opportunity to experience, learn about, and interact with a diverse range of English landscapes.

SEAHOLM INTAKE POWER PLANT PUMP HOUSE

LOCATION .............................................................. AUSTIN, TX PROGRAM .............. WATER’S-EDGE URBAN ACTIVITY NODE COMPLETED ..................................................... AUGUST 2013 TEAM .......................... J. SHERMAN, I. ELLIS, G. FIELDER + 3 This design for the Seaholm Power Plant’s former pump house, termed Just Add Water, Stir in Light, proposes a new synergistic mixture of circulation, commerce, and water activities located within and around a renovated structure that celebrates the facility’s historically iconic presence on the Austin waterfront. The proposal is intended to not only breathe new life into the building, but also enhance its relevance by connecting it to an envisioned larger contextual network of water’s edge activity nodes, located at strategic points throughout the city. The Intake site is perfectly situated to act as a connection point between the activity along the downtown hike and bike trail and the daily recreationists on Lady Bird Lake. ;OL *P[`»Z HJ[P]P[` HÄJPVUHKVZ ZOVWWLYZ SLPZ\YLS` Z[YVSSLYZ and the public at large will all be drawn to this re-established destination, catalyzing even more appreciation and dynamic use of Austin’s riparian edge.

ECO-SKIN RESPONSIVE FACADE SYSTEM

INSTITUTION ...................................... CORNELL UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR .......................................... CHRISTIANE SAUER TEAM ............... J. SHERMAN, A. JYOTI, Q. HUANG, Y.

SPRING 2011 This project sought to investigate the feasibility of developing a modular façade system that could respond, with little or no energy input, to dynamic exterior climatic conditions. Much in the same way that a mammal’s skin operates, this system would leverage the physical properties of the materials that make it up [V YLHJ[ [V [LTWLYH[\YL Å\J[\H[PVUZ [OL WYLZLUJL VM O\TPKP[` and precipitation, and changing wind conditions – all without any moving mechanical devices.

6 STREET CARPARK TH

RE-IMAGINING THE CAR STORAGE FACILITY AS A DYNAMIC, MULTI-MODAL URBAN PLACE LOCATION .............................................................. AUSTIN, TX PROGRAM .............................. MIXED-USE PARKING FACILITY COMPLETED ................................................ DECEMBER 2011 PROFESSOR .............................................. CARMEN GARUFO TEAM .................... J. SHERMAN, C. BUNNELL, J. HAMMOND

The project site at 6th Street and Bowie Street functions as a key transitional node between widely varying urban densities, characters, and uses – between East and West, North and South, work and play - from Austin’s sprawling high density residential buildings to the tightly knit commercial core. This site PZ HSZV H RL` TLKPH[VY IL[^LLU [OL H\[VTVIPSL [YHMÄJ ÅV^PUN VU the mono-directional 5th and 6th streets, the pedestrian routes connecting the downtown area with the emerging West Side, and the bicycle path along Shoal Creek, which shows strong potential as a key commuter route. This project is an expression of these transitions, and balances the traditional hierarchy of these different modes of transit in order to provide a vibrant and high-quality urban experience for users of all three. The carpark facility starts to consider Austin’s culture of congestion, answering the needs of each transportation mode by providing a dense integration between interior paths of different scales with a rich diversity of program. 9H[OLY [OHU H WPLJL VM TVUV M\UJ[PVUHS [YHMÄJ LX\PWTLU[ [OL project mixes transit with retail, restaurants, public and event spaces – centered around a main interior circulation path and culminating in a distinctive drive-in movie theater. This mix of retail and transit creates a strong and distinctive place where the auto, pedestrian and bicycle can exist in harmony. AWARD ...............

PIEZOELECTRIC OSCILLATOR

An alternative to conventional wind turbines, the use of piezoelectric oscillators would allow the extraction of energy using small vibrating strips mounted inside the cells of a modular wind-channeling structure, converting their kinetic energy into electrical energy that can be used for the building’s operation. This method of local energy generation eliminates the transmission losses inherent in the conventional model of transporting electrical energy great distances from its generation source to its end use.

DECEMBER 2012 PROFESSOR ................................................... VINCE SNYDER TEAM ............................................ J. SHERMAN, C. BUNNELL This project is an expression of dualities discovered in both the programmatic requirements of the new Inuit Art and Learning Centre and within the culture of the Inuit people who produced the art that will be exhibited there. Several major trajectories, or experiences, were considered and explored in a short-story format: an adult gallery visitor, a youth visitor, an art gallery employee, and a researcher. It was KPZJV]LYLK [OH[ [^V ZWLJPÄJ WYVNYHT ZWHJLZ HJ[LK HZ JVTTVU meeting points along each of these trajectories: the main lobby and the cafeteria.

The project expresses a very important relationship in Inuit culture – that between the human and the animal. Picking up on themes derived from the manner in which Inuit artists traditionally represented these two beings, the project seeks to create a human-animal dialogue between the regularized static mass and the dynamic volumes interacting with it.

ENERGY SIMULATION ENGINE + INTERFACE INSTITUTION ...................................... CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS ........ K. PRATT, D. GREENBERG TEAM ..................... J. SHERMAN, N. JONES, D. BOSWORTH COMPLETED ..................................................... SPRING 2011 Funded by the US Department of Energy, this project focused on developing a comprehensive tool to allow users to perform rapid and accurate energy analyses beginning in the earliest stages of the design process. To accomplish this, new methods were developed for performing the calculations traditionally involved in energy analysis, such as shadow tracing, to dramatically increase simulation speed and allow for a large number of design alternatives to be tested quickly. Special attention was also paid to the development of new visualization methods for displaying the complex data generated by the analyses. A new interface was designed to allow users to interact with their models through a series of 3-D visual and analytic tools.
