This exploration seeks to speculate on the generative potential of historic preservation practices within the architectural discipline. Operating under the conceit that a built work is chiefly defined by the assemblage of its physical matter, one can view a structure as “preserved” so long as its original materials are retained and utilized – even if those materials are aged, displaced and reprocessed. As such, this project posits that methods of engaged demolition and pathologic construction can be deployed as generative acts of design that destabilize the normative rhetoric of preservation techniques. Through the manipulation and reconfiguration of a project’s built material – what I refer to “unbuilding” – a new composite typology that carries the work’s original principles of scale, geometry, composition and texture is formulated; one that possesses the genetic material of an architectural past synthesized with a tectonic sensibility that operates productively in the contemporary milieu. With this disciplinary recalibration, preservation in the 21st century can be defined not as the static conservation of an historical condition, but rather, as the dynamic production of a germane – unbuilt – work.

The Culture Spine represents a new typology of urban space that satisfies the needs of a 21st century world citizen. It presents itself not as a cultural institution but, rather, as a cultural infrastructure. The Culture Spine relies on a cooperative network of local agencies, both private and governmental, that seek to charge the public realm with influential tokens of the rich heritage native to the Republic of Korea. This task is executed through the provision of a self-sustaining and climatically regulated venue which serves to stage performances, exhibitions and experiences that celebrate the national identity of Korea. These events, stimulated by neighboring organizations, are curated by the citizens of Seoul and enjoyed by residents and tourists alike.

OHNY Infographic Table instructor: peter pelsinski

This urban canopy, designed and constructed by the School of Architecture at Princeton University, has been donated to Open House New York (OHNY) for use in their annual OHNY Weekend event. The canopy will be on display at 11 Times Square and in the Union Square Market in New York City from October 16th-18th, 2015.

installation at ohny launch party

kendall baldwin // architectural designer

OHNY Weekend unlocks the doors to New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most important buildings, offering an extraordinary opportunity to experience the city and meet the people who design, build, and preserve New York. From historic to contemporary, residential to industrial, hundreds of sites across the five boroughs are open to visit, with tours, talks, performances and other special events taking place over the course of the Weekend. Through the unparalleled access that it enables, OHNY Weekend deepens our understanding of the importance of architecture and urban design to foster a more vibrant civic life and helps catalyze a citywide conversation about how to build a better New York. The aluminum canopy acts as an information kiosk that provides informational brochures about the OHNY Weekend to casual passersby. It is meant to be visually impactful, inventive, and communicate the scope of OHNYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual endeavor.

Born from an interest in practicality and perception, this temporary summer pavilion in Brooklyn Bridge Park seeks to act as a flexible urban space and exhibition beacon for the neighborhoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summer guests. As a fundamentally modular system, the deployment process of the pavilion is designed to be highly streamlined. With no member exceeding 15 feet in length, the transportation, assembly and disassembly of the pavilion does not require any special treatment. While rationalized modular systems do not often invite high levels of spectacle and intrigue,this architectural creation strives to defy those odds. Based on the idea of recalibrating traditional systems, this project looks to the industrial context for inspiration. Surrounded by industrial buildings and ample nautical activity on the East River, the notions of masonry construction and shipping systems became influential design drivers.

Shipping containers are items often seen in or around Brooklyn Bridge Park. These modular and highly flexible units, while unsuspecting in terms of design technique, employ a robust structural system that allows for high rigidity without the need for intermediate members within its central space. Looking to this system for inspiration, the pavilion containers four ‘exhibit pod,’ units that are inspired by the design of a container but elevate their system into a style much more suitable for project’s exhibition based program.

One of the most aggressive results of global climate change has been the rapidly increasing rate of glacial melt. Not only does this pressure universal fresh water supply, but the excessive water presence threatens destruction to many native villages residing in higher lands. The onslaught of glacial lake outburst floods is increasing rashly in the Himalayas, menacing downstream communities and urban civilizations that lie in their path, up to 100 kilometers beyond the origin of the burst.

project GLACIAL FORMWORK

role LEAD DESIGNER

focus DISASTER RESILIENCE

Tsho Rolpa, an isolated valley in Northeastern Nepal, is the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most dangerous glacial lake. Situated in the heart of a sacred landscape, it is a religious beacon and looming threat. As such, it is necessary to mitigate the imminent risk of a GLOF while preserving and enhancing the relationship of man with nature. Through a projective approach to disaster-based design, it is the goal of this project to generate an accretive topography of glacial formwork through the manipulation of hydrological systems that will stabilize the glacial lake by reducing its water volume and structuring its dam wall. This new landscape will offer unique spatial conditions created within the topography that will transform this future disaster zone into a sacred destination place.

Lingotto is an area that suffers from various complications with its functionality and dynamism as a city and space. The most prominent issue present is the dividing demarcation of the tracks of the railway. These train tracks perfectly split the city into two separate halves that lack any visual or physical connections. Because of this austere partitioning, Lingotto has lost a primary sense of cohesion and the vitality of the area has steadily decreased over the past several years. In an effort to bridge this bounding gap, modernize the existing infrastructure, and regenerate the city, this proposal has been designed and put forth.

As opposed to neglecting the dysfunctionality of the site and installing only a structure that merely facilitates the most elementary and fundamental needs present, this proposal for the Lingotto BridgeStation implements beneficial disruptions calculated parametrically and applied on a global scale that results in a complete transformation of the site environment and its context in both a visual and visceral manner. The modern resolve of its architectural tectonic permeates all aspects of the urban fabric and provides for the opportunity of community life within the bounds of its enclosure, solidifying that the objective of this project was not just to create a bridging structure, but rather, to utterly reestablish and re-define the utility and meaning of the entire city of Lingotto.

focus DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

The Taipei City urban center, comprised of a banal context of high-rise residential towers, calls for an iconic arts complex that possesses a display of extreme verticality, challenging its surroundings. The proposed performing arts center responds to the density and urbanity of the area by utilizing a system of verticality as an organizational device. Through this emphasis of height, a new typology of performance space is generated, where program is layered vertically. The double-skin faรงade that encloses this structure is used to conduct the movement of its participants throughout the space. It does this by channeling circulation upwards along the periphery.

RESEARCH

The containment of circulation within this setting of perforated double surfaces creates a visceral sense of spatiality that provokes a defamiliarization with the city and introduces an infusion of visceral spectacle that is typically isolated to and contained within the individual performance spaces. It is both the intent and desire that these combined effects and their resultant experiences reinvigorate the once idealized notion that atmosphere and environment are fundamental and essential attributes to the performing arts.

The Airport Visitor and Information Center is a truly civic building, creating an inspiring, welcoming, and expressive environment to host important meetings and events. The AVIC building is designed to support exhibitions related to Doha, Qatarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Airport City (NDIA), and in part as a venue for ceremonial events such as meetings with visiting dignitaries, conferences, and large gatherings of staff. Modestly scaled, the AVIC is quite prominent when approaching by vehicle, dynamically rising three floors above the podium level. The shape of the building is composed of non-concentric circles in plan which develops into a conical shape in section that resolves into a rounded disc-like roof.

The overall building faรงade reads as generally opaque with a honeycombing of fenestration to allow mediated natural daylight, except where it meets the podium when a portion of the shell is lifted revealing an inviting delicately detailed glass faรงade that promotes views outwards. Internally the building is also bathed in soft daylight from a circular skylight above that washes down through all the levels. The building is conceived as an innovative and visually-engaging shell that encapsulates an intimate interior sky lit space that descends completely within the podium.

Built in 1931, Duke Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s West Campus Union was once the social center of campus. Now severely in need of renovation, this new scheme seeks to modernize the otherwise prominent historic building and reestablish it as the epicenter of student life. Through the reorganization of existing layouts and addition of features that promote healthy and dynamic campus culture, the project will provide space for impromptu interactions amongst faculty, staff and students. Innovative energy and engineering solutions will work in concert with programming development to deliver a solution that sustains the natural, social and built environment.

Assuming the form of a sinuously extruded C-shape, the Superblock contains many unique conditions of geometrically complex facade panels. Wanting to avoid the economic pitfalls that stem from differing double-curved units, an intensive process of panelization and rationalization studies were needed to ensure that the formal gesture of the Superblock could exist without devastating impacts on the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget. The included imagery showcases the diagrams and studies that were produced throughout the aforementioned process of geometric definition.

Hunterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Point South

This residential project, located in the neighborhood of Hunterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Point South in Long Island City, New York, consists of two residential and mixed-use buildings, a tower and mid-rise structure, which seek to offer 500 housing units and over 20,000 square feet of new commercial space. Of the 500 residential apartments with sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline, the building will allocate 75% of the units to be targeted toward low and middle-income households. In addition to providing high quality housing for tenants in sharp financial need, the residential complex also seeks to provide easily accessible and cost effective options for community events, physical activities and healthy food options. These amenities will come in the form of several sustainable design features such as programmed sky boxes, lush parks and gardens and productive urban farms, among other facilities.

The modern practice of infrastructure planning in hyper-dense Cairo has been one of spectacular devastation to the urban environment. Multi-story highways needle through complex historic fabrics whose foundations were set a thousand years before the invention of the automobile, injecting the city with a congestion of vehicles impossible to navigate in its current street system. Ramses Square, the epicenter of transportation interchange in Cairo, was the focus of an international design competition hosted by the Egyptian government to seek new solutions and opportunities for the overwhelming problems.

The proposal attempts to project heavy traffic infrastructure into the future by submerging it underground, affording Cairo the ability to continue and extend the social logics of the highly pedestrian city which already exists. Submerged highways and trains begin to create and fulfill underground networks by connecting to the existing tunnels in place. With high velocity traffic and mass transportation below ground, the surfaces along those routes become fully pedestrian paths, plazas, parks, markets and open public spaces, all of which are needed to transform the choked megalopolis of Cairo into a projective world city.

Can urban spaces help resolve concern over health, biodiversity and public education? The Brooklyn Bridge Bastions (B3) proposal looks to re-appropriate the underside infrastructural space of the Brooklyn Bridge â&#x20AC;&#x201C; transforming it from a vacant to a civic venue where previously unmatched urban activities can create a new infrastructural hybridization. Urban ecological habitation and outdoor rock climbing will be synthesized with rappelling, belaying, bouldering and traversing, while situated amongst green walls and ecological nesting sites for migratory bird, bat, and butterfly species.

The Gowanus Lowline activates ecology by proposing sustainable systems to clean the Gowanus Canal. The technical operations begin in the soil bio-reactor building, a micro-municipal waste water treatment facility inserted to purify contaminated soils and reduce the instance of CSO pollution. Inside an adjacent soil composting facility, earthworms produce high quality soil that will eventually be transferred and used for the process of water purification in the soil bio-reactor. Other embedded systems include the Dig-In Flow of the storm water filter park, the LiveIn Reef interactive oyster purification habitat and the Live-In Skin avian habitat inserted into the facade of the soil bio-reactor building.

Every material decays. More precisely, the physical properties of materials change over time as the materials are exposed to various chemical reactions, external sources and mechanical action. The changes vary from minor mechanical breakdown to chemical alterations of the physical properties of the material. When the material reaches a critical level of deficiency due to such forces of natural aging or accelerated decay, it is then subjected to undertakings of repair, replacement or demolition.

Wood Board Sandblasting

Pathology is defined as the scientific study of disease, which can be described as any abnormality that induces change in an entity’s structure or function. Common in branches of medicine, the practice of pathology deals with the laboratory examination of body parts for diagnostic purposes, investigating the causes and effects of aberrant behaviors. When applied to the architectural discipline, pathologic operations attempt to explore such abnormalities as the sites of creative potential. Through the embrace and amplification of a material’s stochastically aged condition, design interventions are able to invent a heretofore unimagined building typology; maintaining a selective sensitivity to the “old” – original structures – and a manipulative capacity for the “new” – altered composition – with allegiance to neither.
