Cornell Tech is establishing a new campus in Manhattan with a new program that seeks to bridge the gap between academia and real-world entrepreneurship. This project tries to avoid the negative relationship of the tech industry with the city of San Francisco due to the perception that they are taking advantage of all the resources without giving back to the community.

The campus is suspended above the free ground plan, preserving a secured access to intellectual property. Since each vertical cross-sectional slice contains all necessary programmatic parts, the campus is able to be phased both horizontally by region, and also vertically by layer.

To establish a meaningful connection between Roosevelt Island, Manhattan, and Queens, ease of transportation is of utmost importance. Any transfers between mediums will discourage visitors, therefore, a new amphibian bus line is introduced to connect to the major hubs in both sides. Access from the bridge is also introduced to facilitate movement. On the side of the ferry stop, free kayaks are offered to cross RYHU WKH 4XHHQ V VLGH IXWXUH FDPSXV H[SDQVLRQ When the campus has cemented its status within the city, it will have the leverage of establishing a new subway stop at its sourthern end.

Conceptually the studios are clustered and organized around gathering spaces that are linked. To create a balanced distribution of studio spaces to ancillary common spaces, an organizational system was devised based on circulation patterns. The system is based on double height gathering spaces and simple rules of circulation that creates vertical connections through them.

Adjacency does not equal collaboration: The design of an interdisciplinary school of architecture for Upenn takes on this premise, not by housing different faculties in the same building, but by re-designing the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s curriculum and how people work together.

MASSING MODELS

The main value in architecture school is the production of ideas that live on through the different means of production: boards, models, diagrams, drawings, etc.- most of which are lost when the physical materials are thrown away. The concept of the walls is therefore to provide a space where students can store their work as a way to share ideas and inspire. It is also an instrument of self-promotion and transparHQF\ ZLWKLQ WKH VFKRRO VFKRODUVKLS DZDUGLQJ :LWK the REFAB labs in which students have to apply into the studio whose topic interests them, the walls also serve as an advertisement for the course. The white, neutral storage walls are waiting to be energized with an ever-changing landscape of works and ideas. The spacing and depth of the wall rings changes to perform different functions: visiblity and privacy control, shelving, tables, seating, hand-rail, etc. These are hung from steel cables to emphasize the horizontal bar-code reading. The glass becomes undulating like hung fabric on the double height common spaces. Coupled with the white fritted pattern whose density decreases as it reaches the ground, it reads as a dematerializing milky curtain.

The most salient aspect is indeed its continuous circulation, but more crucial than the ramp itself, how adjacent galleries connect to the main thoroughfare. Each one of these sub-galleries serve as a different repository of culture drawn from all over the world. The unrolled plan of the Guggenheim shows this space-thoroughfare relationship that parallels the High Line- the difference being that the spectacle of the city as a contemporary gallery of urban life scenes is what draws in the crowds onto the High Line.

With a strong tradition of the front porch as a place for social interaction, the house is set back on the site to create a courtyard, a welcoming spatial relief to the urban formula of building right up to the sidewalk.

With water as the theme for the studio, this project takes an active approach in answering the worldwide water shortage problem. This project envisions a machine tower that can harvest water from the sky and capture solar energy. As a prototype, it is able to be replicated around the world, adapting to variable local conditions. Using technology based on natural phenomena and innovative research, the tower machine is able to condense water out of the atmosphere at minimal energy consumption. :KHQ WKH DPELHQW WHPSHUDWXUH LV FORVH WR WKH GHZ SUHFLSLWDWLRQ SRLQW IRJ LV IRUPHG 7KLV HIIHFW LV IUHTXHQWO\ REVHUYHG LQ /\RQ GXULQJ WKH ZLQter months.

Cable Bots are positioned at 3 points on the viewing platforms: beginning, middle, and end. They spool the cables to a specific length at each section.

Next, Twin Bots go up each pair of parallel wires attaching the fabric mesh to the structure.

Sew Bots then run through the cables and close the seams from the different pieces of fabric. This also facilitates the replacement of damaged sections.

Solar Helium Balloons are then attached to the platform structures from the inside and filled with air.

The Manhattan grid not only controls the constant flow of people, but it also neglects spaces that encourage New Yorkers to pause. It is here that the ‘happening’ of free speech is most necessary, and most potent. The proposed design is a Free Speech Kit that members of the public can locate, set up, and drop off. The items within the Kit enable the New York street to be activated - both as a place of ‘happening’, and more specifically, as a space for free speech. The Symbolic Speech Apparatus and the Symbolic Debate Apparatus are two inflatables which declare the latter. The objects bring to mind the ladder and podium, two objects long associated with informal speech and debate. Additionally, the inflatable recalls an entire lineage of civic activism. One object denotes the location where free speech is occurring, while the other expresses the two-way nature of free speech, thereby encouraging spectators to participate. Being inflatables, their function is detached from their image, distilling their symbolic importance. Finally, the Kit’s Free Speech Circle helps mark the location of these episodic civic events, raising awareness of free speech through an associational motif. These symbolic circles hint at past occurrences on the streets of NYC, layering everyday spaces with meaning and memory.

[ DURATION ] 1 MONTH [ ARCHITECTURE ] VISUALIZATION 3 // J. EBERHART [ YEAR ] SPRING 2014 [ TEAM ] +VITTORIO LOVATO, KIANNA HOSSEINI, HUGO FENAUX & ANNE MA

The brief for this project asked for the design of a location-specific installation for a fabrication class. The location was the 7th floor terrace in the School of Architecture, where many sets of Gehry designed furniture sit. These designer furniture pieces had many issues and were rarely used, usually neglected during events (the famous 6-on7â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s), becoming more of a hindrance to the social scene. Faced with the irony of the situation, the project takes on a humorous turn to give these furniture pieces a new life: turning them into amusement park rides.

OTHERS

Several iterations were explored with a combination of different furniture pieces, either providing a new dimension to their current functionality or changing them altogether. The final design is based on a two-piece Gehry rocking chair. Following through with the idea of an amusement ride, the terrace was reconfigured as a park ground, complete with ticket booth, posters, fair music, and happy people. Ride tickets were also sold a week prior to the May 7th inaugural date, with the proceeds going towards a grand raffle of Oreo cookies.

The big arches of the main roof vault rest on typical column capitals, but the columns or pilasters themselves are curiously missing beneath them.
