H U D S O N YA R D S Nestled on the far West Side of Manhattan along the Hudson River, the Metropolitan Transit Authority’s West Side Yard (heretofore referred to as Hudson Yards) presents both pportunity and obstacles as a development site. Considered frontiers for revitalization in Manhattan, the neighborhoods of Hell’s Kitchen, Clinton, and Chelsea stand high on any developer’s wish list. More so, the development site hosts the final leg of the High Line, a beacon of success on Manhattan’s West Side and an ideal lure for drawing pedestrian flows into the development. Indeed, the gift of 26 undeveloped acres in a neighborhood so primed for growth is almost unimaginable in Manhattan.

UBRAN DESIGN

H U D S O N YA R D S

The design of Hudson Yards is based on the concept of creating two distinct yet interconnected communities centered about a pair of signature public spaces: the plaza and the park. With over 60 percent of the development characterized by open public space, their design was critical and helped inform the character of the buildings that surround them. On the Eastern Rail Yard, the Hudson Plaza was envisioned as an active center of commerce and civic engagement. Its position as a connector between the Hudson Boulevard from the north and the High Line from the south afford it a privileged opportunity to act as a nexus of activity between these two vital urban amenities. The Hudson Park in the Western Rail Yard assumes a different character entirely.

A vast, pastoral lawn creates a landscape of leisure.

In response to recent development initiatives by the Brazillian government, the Cooperativa Carioca and Escoal Nova Brasilia seek to provide education and upward mobility to the neighborhood of Nova Brasilia and residents of Complexo do Alem達o. The 700 student school was developed with programatic requirements of the Rio 2030 education initiative. The COOP provides an intermediate centrality and water management site between the newly constructed Teleferico system, and existing nodes located on the edge of the Complexo.

RESILLIENCE AFTER DISASTER The lack of oppor tunity to rebuild community within refugee camps is the greatest problem facing victims following the disaster. To address these problems, this strategy employs low-tech methods of resource processing and a design based on traditional japanese bamboo constr uction. Although the str ucture is intended as a medium ter m (0-3yr s) solution, the long-ter m benefits manifest themseflves through the knowldege gained by processing, fabrication, and constr uction.

ARCHITECTURE

elastiCITY

The decisions made following a natural disaster should consider immediate needs and future demands. Using traditional techniques employed by bamboo craftsmen in Kyoto, Japan, the entire structure can be constructed by hand. From a very modest size, the ribbed structure can expand over time. The construction process introduces the fundamentals of bamboo as a building material, so innovation occurs in both the design and craft. The proportional dimensioning system provides member lengths for the structural member categories (S,M,L).

PARAMETRIC DESIGN (length of longest member equal to ~1.8 X Height) The availablity of adequate sized bamboo impacts bay spacing.

These limitations can be overcome by lashing together smaller member s to create a larger str uctural member.

THESIS

S W A M P W AT E R SUBURBS

The goal of this thesis is to investigate suburban ecologies and urbanization to develop an alternative focused on maximizing the intrinsic resources present within the community.

The suburban landscape continues to succumb to sprawling development, and redevelopment strategies intend to increase density.

This approach is valid, but fails to account for how to manage the periphery. By rethinking vacant space, we can integrate social and productive solutions that improve declining conditions and reduce vulnerability towards future uncertainty and climate change.
