i Shui Promenade is a commercial proposal and design set in the tourist district of Cheng de, China. With the onset of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, popular tourist destinations adjacent to the festivities have actively pursued plans to modernize and redesign allowing the city the ability to support local and foreign visitor interests. The approach to this design sought to capture and celebrate the flowing river that carefully weaves through the site. Issues of sustainabilty and viewing angles were considerations that were held set against a particularly strict criteria.

deep ecology

critic: Scott Erdy- Studio 601

l fall .05

i The Center for Deep Ecology is a progressive organization that champions the re-evaluation of our natural urban fabric through promulgation of innovative strategies which encourage environmental awareness and ecologically motivated changes in residential living. We want to disseminate technologically feasible bionomic solutions and optimization tactics to reduce our residential impacts on the fragile global ecosystem. In order to encourage a residential lifestyle which is faithful to the idea of clean living, the CDE has proposed the implementation of Eco-PODs. Eco-PODs serve as residential modules designed to function in a manner that is environmentally friendly. The CDE facility is unique as it is sited within a grid of residential developments. Within these developments, it is the intention of the CDE to research and manufacture Eco-PODs that may be directly integrated into the surrounding community.

i During the Summer of 2006 I was given the opportunity to work at the Washington D.C. branch of Gensler. During the duration of this internship I was fortunate enough to become involved in projects which included Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center. Located in Prince Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s County, Maryland on the banks of the Potomac River, Gaylord National is a world-class resort hotel and convention center covering 41.7 acres. On this particular project my duties included construction documentation, detail drafting, specification research, interior rendering and 3-D modelling for Phase II of the project.

i One Democracy Center vestibule renovation is a smaller scale project that required a new design operating on a significantly smaller budget. The challenges for this particular project involved dealing with the already existing environment. Through several iterations, it was decided to settle on this particular scheme as it remained consistent with the present built atmosphere, in addition it also added a new look and illuminance to the entrance portal into the facility. This project allowed for greater independent responsibilities in design, construction documentation, 3D Modelling and Rendering.

i Inversion of the Horizon is a design problem which addresses the issues of media, politics and security. The program for this project required facilities that could accommodate political negotiations, media coverage and a secure environment for visiting world leaders within the enclosure of Camp David. In order to approach this problem, students were asked to consider moments of fear and terror in order to devise informed designs. The medium of film served as a inspiration for students to capture moments of terror in order to understand how specific camera angles may be effectively employed to heighten individual sensibility. For my film selection, I chose Hiroshi Teshigaharaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Woman in the Dunes. Specifically I concentrated on instances of terror where cameras are placed at extreme angles distorting moments of ground and sky. In order to capture such a concept, I employed instances where camera angles are choreographed to shoot public meetings from various points of perspective providing a sense of vulnerability for politicians as a means of checks and balances. Ironically, the site selected for the media pavilion was a golf bunker. The extreme angles, isolated location and secure environment, made this site selection ideal.

l spring .06

i Ascension is a project which proposes the design of a retreat space to be utilized by an individual seeking escape from modern life to pursue moments of meditation and reflection. The concept behind ascension focuses on creating a space that expresses vertical movements both physically and spiritually through the structure. Located in the mountains of Chengde, China, this particular site was chosen for the ideal micro-climates and isolated location relative to the rest of the city. Most notably, the form is characterized by the â&#x20AC;&#x153;sail-likeâ&#x20AC;? tensile devices which serve to both capture wind and shade according to the varying environmental conditions of the site.

i [Navi]gator is a project which called for the design of a aerodynamic form capable of flight. Through research and wind-tunnel simulations in ANSYS-CFX, designs were constantly tested to inform performance and form. The design of this body took into account the stream of frontal forces due to forward movement in space. As a result, the body was sculpted to utilize wind paths by implementing channels moving across the body at strategic points to stabilize the frame. In addition, the design of the core cavity allowed the body to redirect forces within the form thus enabling the body to assist a propulsion system that may be introduced.

i Marketscape was a project which involved understanding the urban characteristic of London’s city fabric. This particular investigation sought to design a drawing machine that could “illustrate” and form an atlas of details and intricacies that define Borough Market and allows for survival and function within London’s “junk spaces”. The design of the drawing machine, sought to capture a pulse data of the city and reinterpret the marketscape as it exists through another perspective. The Drawing Machine ultimately captures movement through interpretations of sound intensities at specific moments of bifurcation within the marketscape graphing these intensities accordingly. Existing as a space “between” the city infrastructure of the city, sandwiched by rail lines above and the city surrounding the perimeter Borough Market’s form takes a particular form. The emergent network of sound brings about an atlas of use and function the marketscape geography

i Rover is a mechanism designed to interact with the moving environment leaving a residue of lines that represent the environment as it exists at a particular moment in time. The built environment establishes the boundaries of movement within a space, but in addition to this permanent boundary space, to an individual, space is further informed by the crowds and temporary obstacles that are simultaneously responding with one another . The operation of Rover functions in such a way in which it is sensitive to areas of light, chasing illuminated areas of space within Borough Market. Due to the movement occurring above and around Rover, shadows and patches of light became the navigation tools for which this particular drawing machine operated. The map that began to reveal itself within the market expressed a particular movement diagram that reveals the built environment as well as the self-organizing individuals and obstacles resulting from the users of Borough Market.

i ENGINE is a difference machine that gauges the variances that occur at independent sides of bifurcations within moments of Borough Market. It is the intention of the engine to be coupled into a NETWORK measuring simultaneous actions of indecision in order to extract an index of behavior through sound. Variables that are to be considered are sound delay, sound intensity, machine operation, and angle of operation. Operating at the level of the streetscape, as well as the railroad, a 3-dimensional index of indecision may be constructed illustrating the intricacies of Borough Market function and geometry.

i Park[ing] is a project which proposed the design of a school located in West Philadelphia. The concept of this design is rooted in an idea of nested elements of program both in a plan and sectional views. Nested elements are echo through the structure as it exists both as structural and interactive (furniture) features within the building. Points at which the interactive features of the nested elements are able to engage the architecture exist at strategic instances where user interaction and function are greatest. The function of the facility is primarily as a community center which accommodates exhibition spaces, classrooms, parks and parking. My inspiration for this is design is attributed toward the relationship of the structural system to the site footprint. The curves and form of the building are the result of innate material properties that would react to the triangular shape of the site. Densities of nested material could be separated into primary, secondary and tertiary elements which would directly affect programmatic organization, structural distribution and circulation.

i Fixing the Vote was a design project which asked students to present a solution that addressed the program of voting. Solutions were required to fit within specific sites which varied throughout the studio. In this particular project, I had chosen the 30th Street Station site as it presented interesting opportunities concerning public access, voter traffic and classical aesthetic. Approaching this problem, I addressed issues of user circulation during times of heavy commuter volume. It was my intention in this project to present temporary voting spaces which would be capable of retracting during moments when voting function was not necessary. As a result, the site of the installation was located at benches located at the western entrances of 30th Street Station. The concept of a material drapery is utilized in this situation as it creates a flexible structure without compromising personal space of the individual voter.

With the onset of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, popular tourist destinations adjacent to the festivities have actively pursued plans to modernize and redesign allowing the city the ability to support local and foreign visitor interests. The approach to this design sought to capture and celebrate the flowing river that carefully weaves through the site. Issues of sustainabilty and viewing angles were considerations that were held set against a particularly strict criteria.

Jonathan Sim Sansom Place West 3650 Chestnut Street Box #: 471 Philadelphia, PA 19104 sim@design.upenn.edu 310.709. 8969 The Center for Deep Ecology is a progressive organization that champions the re-evaluation of our natural urban fabric through promulgation of innovative strategies which encourage environmental awareness and ecologically motivated changes in residential living. We want to disseminate technologically feasible bionomic solutions and optimization tactics to reduce our residential impacts on the fragile global ecosystem. In order to encourage a residential lifestyle which is faithful to the idea of clean living, the CDE has proposed the implementation of eco-pods. Eco-pods serve as residential modules designed to function in a manner that is environmentally friendly. The CDE facility is unique as it is sited within a grid of residential developments. Within these developments, it is the intention of the CDE to research and manufacture eco-pods that may be directly integrated into the surrounding community.

Currently, this particular project is the research topic for the final studio of my career at the University of Pennsylvania. Due to the research based emphasis for this particular studio, abstract investigations into form development through material studies such as plaster are being employed. The process of balancing form and operation has led to deeper research of programmatic operations that in turn further inform the resultant aesthetic. A negotiation between the space occupied on either sides of the structure becomes a dance of volumetric biases, where the result is an eventual compromise of form and function. Landform

Jonathan Sim Sansom Place West 3650 Chestnut Street Box #: 471 Philadelphia, PA 19104 sim@design.upenn.edu 310.709. 8969 Park[ing] is a project which proposed the design of a school located in West Philadelphia. The concept of this design is rooted in an idea of nested elements of program both in a plan and sectional views. Nested elements are echo through the structure as it exists both as structural and interactive (furniture) features within the building. Points at which the interactive features of the nested elements are able to engage the architecture exist at strategic instances where user interaction and function are greatest. The function of the facility is primarily as a community center which accommodates exhibition spaces, classrooms, parks and parking. My inspiration for this is design is attributed toward the relationship of the structural system to the footprint of the site. The curves and form of the building are the result of innate material properties that would react to the triangular shape of the site. Densities of nested material could be separated into primary, secondary and tertiary elements which would directly affect programmatic organization, structural distribution and circulation.

Jonathan Sim Sansom Place West 3650 Chestnut Street Box #: 471 Philadelphia, PA 19104 sim@design.upenn.edu 310.709. 8969 Inversion of the Horizon is a design problem which addresses the issues of media, politics and security. The program for this project required facilities that could accommodate political negotiations, media coverage and a secure environment for visiting world leaders within the enclosure of Camp David. In order to approach this problem, students were asked to consider moments of fear and terror in order to devise informed designs. The medium of film served as a inspiration for students to capture moments of terror in order to understand how specific camera angles may be effectively employed to heighten individual sensibility. For my film selection, I chose Hiroshi Teshigaharaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Woman in the Dunes. Specifically I concentrated on instances of terror where cameras are placed at extreme angles distorting moments of ground and sky. In order to capture such a concept, I employed instances where camera angles are choreographed to shoot public meetings from various points of perspective providing a sense of vulnerability for politicians as a means of checks and balances. Ironically, the site selected for the media pavilion was a golf bunker. The extreme angles, isolated location and secure environment, made this site selection ideal.

[Ascension] >>Cheng de, China

Jonathan Sim Sansom Place West 3650 Chestnut Street Box #: 471 Philadelphia, PA 19104 sim@design.upenn.edu 310.709. 8969 Ascension is a project which proposes the design of a retreat space to be utilized by an individual seeking escape from modern life to pursue moments of meditation and reflection. The concept behind ascension focuses on creating a space that expresses vertical movements both physically and spiritually through the structure. Located in the mountains of Chengde, China, this particular site was chosen for the ideal micro-climates and isolated location relative to the rest of the city. Most notably, the form is characterized by the “sail-like” tensile devices which serve to both capture wind and shade according to the varying environmental conditions of the site.

Jonathan Sim Sansom Place West 3650 Chestnut Street Box #: 471 Philadelphia, PA 19104 sim@design.upenn.edu 310.709. 8969 [Navi]gator is a project which called for the design of a dynamic body in order to understand bodies and form in motion. Through research and wind-tunnel simulations in ANSYS-CFX, designs were constantly tested to inform performance and form. The design of this body took into account the stream of frontal forces due to forward movement in space. As a result, the body was sculpted to utilize wind paths by implementing channels moving across the body at strategic points to stabilize the frame. In addition, the design of the core cavity allowed the body to redirect forces within the form thus enabling the body to assist a propulsion system that may be introduced.

Modelling objects such as a boot, has allowed me to better understand means of measuring 3d dimensional objects and control points through a 3-dimensional space. Physically, issues of internal structural organizations propose various challenges in the composition and create interesting developments which translate into the resulting piece. This challenge is especially prevalent in my abstract experiments such as the piece â&#x20AC;&#x153;Defining Edgeâ&#x20AC;?.
