CORNELL TECH CAMPUS ROOSEVELT ISLAND, NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK
The Cornell Tech Campus studio is a research and design studio to reconsider what it means to be a campus in a new age instead of a tradition college campus. Our research began with precedent studies of previous tech campus across the world with our focus being on the Free University of Berlin by Candilis, Josic, and Woods, and Mies van der Rohe’s Illinois Institute of Technology. We used our research on these two campuses to become the basic characteristics for the masterplan. We concentrated on the inverted organization of the two campuses and how the courtyards become the figures in a field whereas IIT the buildings become the figures in a field. At this point in the design process we have focused on the overall masterplan and will continue to zoom into details of program, circulation, and site analysis for the rest of the semester.

RHIZOME ARCHIVES LONG ISLAND CITY, NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK
The program for this project is a home for archives for digital and mixed media art for an organization called Rhizome which works to restore and showcase digital art. With the help of Ben Fino-Radin of Rhizome, Joanna Phillips a conservator of time based art work at the Guggenheim, and Jaime Roark an Exhibition Designer for the Guggenheim and architect we worked to produce a home Rhizome equipped with a large amount of square footage for archiving, along with conservation labs, educational space, and exhibition areas. The idea for our project is of the existence of two forms which rely on each other structurally and programmatically. The lighter, triangulated form which wraps around the lowest level of the building and up into a core structure houses the public program, (i.e. exhibition spaces) while the heavier, mesh mass which hinges around the core of the structure, houses the archive boxes and conservation labs.

AUTONOMOUS CITY PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA
The Autonomous City studio with Peter Trummer was a thesis based project about creating a self-sufficient city or neighborhood in south Philadelphia. We started the studio by dissecting and researching the Sears Tower and then rebuilding it to produce an autonomous city. For our approach, we didn’t want to completely deconstruct the Sears Tower. We felt it would be more powerful to communicate a clear transformation from the familiar/ recognizable, into the new/unfamiliar. This way you are able to measure the transformation by referencing the original form. We kept a trace of the original tower as identifiable figures in space, then split the individual components and intertwine them to create a new series of grounds within the aggregation. We then reunified the loose ends into duplicates of the original figures. This allows us to accomplish a new configuration which simultaneously references the original, modernist design while creating a new dialogue about spatial relationships within the city.

The result is a new configuration of spatial relationships that is achieved never through adding or carving out of the original form, but always by splitting and then reunifying the elements. And using the same process on a smaller scale allows us to create new possible paths of movement from exterior to interior and vice versa.

SUBLIME VOID VIENNA, AUSTRIA
This housing/spa project is located adjacent to one of the largest public squares in Vienna, Austria known as Stephansplatz surrounding the city’s Gothic cathedral, Stephansdom. It addresses the street with a subtle, but differentiated façade in comparison with the surrounding neighborhood. The aluminum louvers create a sleek, clean façade which run parallel to each other on the street side and are shifted and bent on the inner edge to allow for privacy and views at different parts of the housing program inside. The entry is a simple split opening at the corner facing the cathedral and enters into the lobby with a front desk for the housing and the start of the spa program. The additional spa program is at the lower and first level of the building. At the center of the lobby is where the vortex of aluminum louvers first appears in the central core of the building. The core stretches from the lobby to the roof, connecting to the façade louvers which bend over the main structure of the building. The louver core creates a light well that brings light down to the central bath space of the spa below the lobby. The light well creates a transcendent space which can be experienced at every level through the circulation ramps that wrap around the central louvers to the above housing and yoga studios.

ISLANDS OF RIO RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL
The objective of the project was to master plan a housing system on the remnants of the future Olympic site in Rio de Janeiro. In the process of re-purposing we were instructed to take advantage of what was given with the site and also improve upon it. The idea for the housing project is simply recreating what Rio is famous for, it’s mountains and beaches. This was achieved with a simple cut and fill process of digging out a system of rivers to create a lagoon and pour the earth onto the tops of the newly created islands. The housing then creates a barrier between these two ideal landscapes of the green mountains and sandy, sunny beaches. This simple idea allowed for the project to multiple across the islands. The building up of the landscape along the backside of the housing allowed for all of the structure and infrastructure to be masked under the earth while also creating cooler climates for the housing units. To create connections between landscapes, cuts were made on either side, some to allow for open public and commercial spaces and some to allow for divisions in the bars of housing that create pathways directly from the beach to the green landscape. The housing itself is designed in a manner so that each of the housing units sets back as it gets higher allowing for each apartment to have its own private exterior space.

ASPECTS OF RIO Although Rio is known around the world for its beautiful beaches, they also known for how they are trying to bring back their public spaces which were lost when the highway system was put into place in the 1980’s. Our design creates three large public spaces which are surrounded by underground commercial space.

CIRCULATION The vehicular circulation through the site occurs underground and around the backside of the housing and the commercial cuts. Although the landscape has topographical changes up to one hundred and twenty feet, all of the vehicular circulation occurs at the same level as the surround areas and the sports venues.

POROUS REMEDIATION ST. CROIX, UNITED STATES VIRGIN ISLANDS
The United States Virgin Islands (USVI) have been fined more then $10,200,000 for polluting the Caribbean Sea and surrounding coral reef over the past 20 years. Failing septic and sewage systems have polluted the beaches, water, and surrounding coral reef and caused irreparable damage. Recent repercussions have been felt with evacuations in Anna’s Hope Village as a result of the sewer line break and anti-swimming advisories in Christiansted due to high pollution levels in the harbor. This project works to solve this environmental issue which exists across the USVI by implementing a landscape system which collects, cleans, and reuses contaminated groundwater. Through bioremediation processes, a self-sustaining system is created that is reproducible at many scales and adapted to different environments across the island of St. Croix. Pockets in the landscape accommodate different purposes including water filtration, bioremediation, park and recreation, education, beaches, pools, touch tanks, and an amphitheater. Rainwater and runoff from the surrounding hills is collected by the edges of the landscape infrastructure. The water is cleaned as it moves from east to west, down a subtle shift in topography towards the bay. Clean water is pumped into buildings for use in bathrooms, sinks, laboratories, etc. Used and dirtied water is returned to the landscape after passing through a chemical process in the building floor plates,

FILTRATION ORGANIZATION The different programs of the complex are separated into strips and organized based on how the water will move through the building, be used, and then filtered through the landscape. The diagrams below show the water flowing through the different types of program and out into the landscape.

The program is organized into three strips; from north to south they are housing, laboratories, and teaching and public program. The individual spaces of the program occur as small pavilions that are linked with the larger strips of open air structure. This allows for control of sunlight into the program and water to flow to each pavilion.
