Regional Scale study of Jamaica Bay The project focuses on the development of urban form as driven by productive ecologies and their dynamics. Through the occupation of aquaculture, the highly eutrophic Jamaica Bay region may be cultured for the growth of algae and thus the production of fish.

Gurgaon Public Library New Delhi, India Individual Thesis Project

Design

This thesis project aims to reconcile the morphological differences of the urban fabric of New Delhi - which is of a widespread, low dense and disjointed nature to connect a public infrastructure like a library to a very successful public infrastructure, the Delhi Metro.

With the synthesis and integration of these public flows, the project aims to create a new typology of built public environments that can function in cohesion.

Right: Programmatic reorganization using the existing parking as a driver of both usage, footfall and revenue as the library integrates itself into the two modal infrastructures

Library fails in isolation- as is the current condition of urbanization

Thrives at the intersection of multiple networks Widespread Network Metro stations become active spaces A Node Connect to paratransit services Active public flow

Plugging on

Public libraries in New Delhi are infrastructures that lack any reverence, connect or use. They are libraries, that are anything but “public�.

Strategic Decommissioning Cape Cod, MA Collaborator: Kim, Seol | Instructor: Pierre Belanger

Design

Military Site in Cape Cod (Brownfield) Military sites, by their exclusionary land-use, create inscrutable boundaries for protection. Due to their expansive size, these sites tend to display unique ecological, spatial and social conditions. Bases all over the US are being decommissioned and re-envisioned (BRAC), presenting the challenge of staging their integration to their surrounding landscapes.

Page: The Massachusetts Military Reservation (MMR) in context of the Cape. The functions on the cape allow strategic opening of the site. Diagram: Graph displays environmental restoration costs of military sites across the US with the MMR as the second most expensive base.

Interpreting total decommissioning as an inflexible land-use practice, this project presents the Massachusetts Military Reservation (MMR) as a case study for a more resilient economically and ecologically sound protocol. The hard boundary allows opportunities for permeable and inclusionary programmatic patterns that by producing changes in topography, vegetation and flow present an array of conditions from a permeable periphery to a controlled center.

Research

Vineyards have settled in regions with higher levels of precipitation and sandy, chalk like or well drained grounds. This has caused adverse affects on their watersheds as the production of grapes pollutes the undeground aquifer and rivers within the watershed. It is interesting to see that the Seine and Marne are polluted due to wine production and then flow down to urban centers like Paris. Contrary to belief, it is these productive landscapes that pollute the river and not the urban center.

Top: Map tends to show a detailed relationship between Wine region and urban center exposing the idea that wine regions have a greater tendency to pollute the watershed. Bottom: Section exposes relationship between wine region, topography, geology and urban centers.

Agriculural land in dry areas create increased pressures for water in the region

Pollution from wine growing and large urban areas degrade the Seine and Marne rivers.
