“He believed in an infinite series of times, in a growing, dizzying net of divergent, convergent and parallel times.

This network of times which approached one another, forked, broke off, or were unaware of one another for centuries, embraces all possibilities of time. We do not exist in the majority of these times; in some you exist, and not I; in others I, and not you; in others, both of us. In the present one, which a favorable fate has granted me, you have arrived at my house; in another, while crossing the garden, you found me dead; in still another, I utter these same words, but I am a mistake, a ghost. “ EL JARDÍN DE LOS SENDEROS QUE SE BIFURCAN. -Jorge Luis Borges.

SURVIVAL MECHANISMS A life support backpack that purifies water through a filtering mechanism, but is also an acupuncture device.

The device exposes the tension inherent in the notion of accumulation; when the backpack is filled with water, the acupuncture needles behave as a torture mechanism; when it is empty the backpack is therapeutic but provides no life support.

4

From the lumbosacral through the cervical vertebrae, sharp needles secure the backpack to your body. These point connections allow for maximum flexibility.

A CELL An organism. A seclusion. A prison.

This research vehicle extracts the low wattage energy pulsing through deep sea fiber optic networks in order to allow its single occupant to carry his maritime climatic investigations. However, by being connected into the fiber optic network the cell, and its occupant, also behave as a relay station back to civilization, and perhaps to the other propagated cells along the sea bottom.

8

The interior of the cell is wrapped in a continuous flexible skin that allows for the single occupant to redefine it.

Nonetheless it is specifically designed so as to accommodate different daily functions in different sectors.

In order to withstand deep sea pressure levels the cell is protected by a rigid outer skin, that further serves as the primary connector to the fiber optic network.

THE PROBLEM OF ACCUMULATION A climatic research laboratory.

In their daily activities, the researchers are constantly confronted with the notion of storage. The laboratory allows them two options, either accumulate the by-products of your research on your shelves above your desks, or store them digitally and physically in the central storage/mainframe room.

On the shelves, researchers run the risk of blocking out the light entirely, or, perhaps, can conversely create a comfortable thermal mass for seasonal comfort.

In the central storage/mainframe room, their work is collective and open; all the results of your hard work are accessible to all.

As research grants become more space and competitive, researches covetously protect their work, and its material products and by-products from wandering eyes. Preciously locked within their laboratories, their hard-earned work is kept protected.

THE RELATION OF OBJECTS A library for the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC) system. Based on the Dewey Decimal System, the UDC expands the former’s vocabulary and syntax to allow for a more detailed index of knowledge.

Where do I find A History of Western Philosophy? Is it under History or is it under Philosophy? Could it be under both? The UDC believes so.

As such, the very shelves themselves begin to move away from a pure stack to weave in and out of each other so as to create a spatial syntax that conveys the relations inherent in the syntactical operations of the UDC.

30

Like most cataloguing systems, the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) and the Library of Congress Classification (LoC) systems designate precise, if obstinate, categories through which to divide knowledge into discernible subjects.

The Stockholm Stadsbibliotek designed by Gunnar Asplund, purportedly showcases the influence of architectural geometry in imposing particular shelving deployments in order to allow for the different programs to enter.

From the circular peripheral shelving of the reading room to the embedded cruciform of the stacks below, the shelf as the repository of books operates according to the exigencies demanded by the programs.

What if then, the UDC became the generator of the shelving deployment?

Using a simple base of a bent shelf at 60 degrees, and of varying end lengths, the resulting permeations allow for a wide range of combinations.

Residual space per lots for one Harlem block (120th & 119th, between Lennox & Fifth Ave.)

54

Through an analysis of the Harlem row house, particularly focusing on the space surrounding the row house - the non-architectural, the unbuilt our typological comprehension of the row house, moves beyond the material and tangible, and into cultural and economic systems ingrained in local conditions.

For the very way in which residents have added to the space in order to attempt at visible signs of ownership demonstrates both their social and economic situation, as well as posits the row house as an homogeneous aggregated element that aims at individuality outside of traditional architectural means.

If the row house exemplifies the regulated and the zoned, the voided space surrounding it reveals the unregulated response of inhabitation. This residual spaces buffer the public spaces from the privacy of the home. In that condition, they must behave accordingly between the direct exposure to the street and to the semi-public space of the inner block. A front facade, a back facade.

By analyzing the void unoccupied by the row house in its lot, we seek to understand how the nature of aggregation and homogeneity, both produce these residual spaces as well as entice them to become vehicles of identity, revealing both the technological vestiges of time as well as rendering the facades a canvas for the placement of objects that attempt at visual ownership.

TERMINAL CONDITION A building once built ceases to be about the singularity of its original intent, and allows itself to be transformed at the mercy of weather, politics, economics, and any other factor that contributes to its actual operation.

How does it then outlive the longevity of the system it serves? How does it perform under the siege from internal and external forces that demand its evolution (from a static structure)? How does it deal with its life and death (after-life); with its glory and decay?

The PABT bus terminal.

Or the structure built to relieve the PABT of its program meanwhile it is reconstructed.

Using scenario prediction techniques, a building was devised such that it would survive at least sixty years into the future. As such, this project has a lifespan.

2012-2072.

86

TERMINAL CONDITION

It was like the thrill of not knowing what to order when the waiter came by. Still, he had four courses in mind, each likely to be eaten, each likely to be discarded. It was the idea of the unknown, of the intangible, of the road that was only perceptible in the act of looking back that besieged him.

He sought four cities, four possibilities, four futures. Perhaps, in spite of the inevitable uncertainty of what lay ahead, by some objective form of projection, the best and the worst (or the purely normal) could still be accounted for: A city-state fortress fencing off weather and outsiders alike, always in control, always aware.

By pouring the liquid sucrose into cold water, a rapid cooling process catalyzes the caramelization of sucrose at a speed which allows the sucrose to find its form in the moment of the pour. By variating the speed of the pour, the viscosity of the sucrose and the temperature of the water, a gamut of geometrical outcomes reveals the importance of environmental factors in generating a formal result.

A higher viscosity allows the liquid sucrose to maintain a higher rigidity as it undergoes the rapid cooling process.

The result makes evident the pouring procedure in the final form.

On the other hand, a rapid pour at a lower viscosity creates a more filigree and fragile result. Especially at the centre, where impurities concentrated during the crystallization process make it particularly weak, a void begins to take shape.

By exploring combinatory techniques, the spectrum of aforementioned results served as a catalogue of possibilities that, when occurring simultaneously, reveals a range of fragmented surfaces that reflect and refract the light with different intensity.

Transformation As the beach becomes host to the glass structures, it allows itself to undergo a an internal transformation, from the granular to the solid,.This process over time contributes to the re-deliniation of Coney islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoreline, and the creation of a new beach ecology.

However, the glass over time will erode back into sand...

In their daily activities, the researchers are constantly confronted with the notion of storage.

RIO PARANร FREE SMUGGLING ZONE Between Brazil and Paraguay, along the Paranรก River lies the most active smuggling economy of South America.

Guns, drugs and illegally traded commodities such as cosmetics, clothing and electronics are being smuggled from one side of the border to the other.

Through the Friendship Bridge, Foz de Iguaรงu in Brazil and Ciudad del Este in Paraguay, bodies and vehicles carry on this informal economy which sees little if any return for both national governments.

Smugglers and government, two parties at play.

INFLATION As the guns cross the border legally, and in order to generate surplus value, they undergo a price inflation at the very moment they become illicit within the loop.

But first, in order to understand the complexity of transnational transactions between Brazil and Paraguay, we will follow the trade of illegal weapons.

Most illegal firearms in Brazil are nationally produced yet still imported into the country . This cycle of re importation seeks to perform one very simple task: to stop any paper trail any weapon fabricated, sold or bought within Brazilto continue.

From then onwards, the other country must vow for the record of transaction.

Lax laws in Paraguay, allow for their border to become the ideal loophole in allowing a legal weapon to be turned into an illegal weapon.
