Transition.In Tower: Transcending Seasons

The vision of this project is to bring transition and change to something that is seen as stable and immutable- the tower. What once was used as strategic point for defense and territorial landmark, now becomes something that is permeable and able to incorporate the mutability of the city through time. The tower offers full support for the original purpose: an automated parking lot with collective uses at the ground and rst level, with a roof used for tea harvest and energy production.

Transition.In Tower : Transcending Seasons Technical Information: Location: Minato, Tokyo, Japan Use: Honorable Mention TokyoParkingTower RethinkingCompetitions 2018 Team: Marco Zoch, Juliana Kazue, Sylvia Yeung

About: More than a parking lot, its use is constant transition. It can be changed to anything that ts a parking spot, from housing to oces, mini garden, private cinema, karaoke and many others. It happens by tting these uses into a module with the dimensions of a parking spot. The machines that once lifted cars, help t the units and in the right places.

(IM)MATERIAL POROSITY: Adaptability on Extreme Tropical Environments through High-Low Robotic Design

This research consist of a series of experiments aiming to extract the most of the possible natural systems from the aechmea fasciata, as most of the bromeliads consume and store water in a particular manner, investigations on the porosity of the material arised. Concomitantly, circle and sphere packing, aggregation of elements were then related to the extraction of the natural system of the plant. It basically is a plant which is divided on a rosette pattern that generates a central water tank, it is an unique family, that different than the other plants has a special structure to consume water Through its leaves, leaving the roots with only a fixing function. The most peculiar thing about the bromeliads is how they consume water, a structure called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;trichomesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (which varies on typology) take the water through osmosis into the lower part of its central guard cells and store them inside the leaf. On a practical investigation, of not only how the geometry would actually look like but also how it would behave, some practical assumptions were done in order to investigate architectural possibilities. As a tropical plant, from a heavily warm and humid weather, the solutions were then related with controlling of light and wind channeling to the specific environment where it did initially adapt. On a more pragmatic level the research will try to bring a high-low solution that would merge with the cultural environment as well as with its clear connection with nature.

Sub_Aquatic LAB: Underwater Regenesis

The barbaric exploration of the South China Sea and its human impact caused onNature generating then an imbalance is an ever growing World issue. The politics to control the area and the rush to produce more is causing a heavy pollution with oil leaks, military damage with the production of all the artificial military based islands and excessive fishing only increase the turmoil of an area where disasters happen. To regenerate all the damage area we must change the common approach and go deep inside the ocean.

RESIN SURFACE:

A ROBOTIC ASSEMBLE OF RESIN PANELS OF AN ENNEPER

Minimal surface is a surface that locally minimises its area. it can be produced by dipping wire frame in soap water to create bubbles. the surface has the advantages of optimising maximum strength with minimal amount of materials. in soap bubbles, this was achieved due to the surface tension excreted by molecules inside the liquid solution. The math concept of minimal surface theory has rapidly evolved recently. Many examples are constructed and altered. Minimal area property makes this surface suitable for application in architecture. Principal stress lines, which are pairs with computational model was made to check whether the curve made by the model is similar o that of the computational model. The curves are similar of both the models. The Structure is developed according to different numbe of anchor points. The are equal amount of points in up and down position. Hence, an even number of points are needed. The site can be accessed through two public entrance on two sides of the building. Dimension of the pavilion will be affected by the size of door entries.

About: This project consist of a group work on the adaptive envelopes module during my master degree. To further focus on the assemble and robotic principles a simple enneper surface was defined as the element of investigation and one of its blades would be developed in two pieces of resin and carbon fiber, whose laying would come from plugins inside grasshopper to optimize shape strength. The blades and a small prototype were produced using moulds that were achieved through robotic milling of silka blocks.

The proposed pavilion in the courtyard will reinvigorate under utilised public space and bring life to the inner city green space. Bounding box manipulation follows quad symmetry. And the Enneper surface follows triangular symmetry where line of symmetry is 120 degree dividing the surface to 3 identical pieces. It is believed that the bounding box caused the break up of original symmetry in the Enneper surface.

Principal stress lines are numerical integration of principal stress directions over a structural body. Designers are interested in principal stress lines because they provide a visualization of the natural force flow of an applied load on the system, which shows the lines of desirable material continuity for a given design domain. Rotating the element, the state of stress will remain unchanged, but the stress components will correspond to the transformed orientation. Principal stress directions are the normal stress components corresponding to the element orientation in which the shear stress is zero and normal stresses are maximum. Having determined the principal stress directions for various points across a structural body, these vectors are projected, or integrated, as lines that form the principal stress lines.

The work here presented is a distopian fairy-tale, with thoughts that are constant in contemporary society. It tells about the natural steps of seeking freedom and its never ending loop during its quest. It starts with the awareness that the system consumes you and heads to a point of breakdown where change is then necessary, moving towards the path of self-awareness and the change of perspective to a new reality, but then following on the same loop where we are never happy with limitations that we are trapped regardless of system.

Circuits in Time: Systems Rewind

It is intimate related to the Orwell’s concept of ‘ big brother’ and the constant limitations of path.m but it also relate with the ongoing immigration movement, where one finds to be freeing itself from a heavily limited system only to find itself trapped on another that might have different benefits not seeing before but it isn’t at all a perfect scenario, that we can only imagine of.

CYBER_MIRAGE: Hologram Systems

The complext systems of corruption that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve watched on the days of 2016 in Brazil, with a probability (and actual reality) of a second president suffering an Impeachment including an enormous amount of scandals that include more than 1600 Brazilian politicians, has brought the the nation in rebellion. But with the arouse of social media, Brazil (as well as other countries), is getting closr even further to a justice system based on majority. Online petitions, protests starting on the web, are bringing a great amount of politicians and their unpopular decisions to an end. This complex cybernetic framework lead us to believe that society is walking towards a more critical and technocratic perspective, and leave us with the question, is Democracy the oppression of the majority? Should it instead focus on everyone instead of the highest number? The impact of these technological systems are not only present nowadays influencing politics but also in the human social inter-relations and business.

About: At the same time that society turns more strict and rigid, the human is been constantly dominated by technology and it will eventually transform on a cyborg. Our project is based on the question: If virtually we have so little boundaries restricting us, than why on the physical reality we insist to maintain them? We believe that in a few years our boundaries will diminish in a dynamic urban process that elaborate interconnections in a complex cybernetic framework capable of creating urban relations from the virtual to the physical. The dynamic augmented framework presented elaborate social connections creating augmented meeting pavilions, blending architecture to social virtual reality. It has a bio-photovoltaic garden that harvest energy.

The Project resides on the fact that the number of 3d artists in Brazil is growing, and many of them work for companies outside the country, wether virtually or physically. Not as one would expect, the city of Manaus in the state of Amazonas - Brazil, looks like the perfect location to construct a mixed use tower, where the central core would be a 3d producing company, as it is perfectly located on a central position, only 7 hours from Miami and Sao Paulo.

ADAPTING: ADAPTING

A Cultural and Conceptual Approach to Design

After visiting the city, the decision of the Ponta Negra Borough was clear, not only for its beauty and government financial aids for a rapid development, but also as a form of criticizing the way people are occupying and destroying such beautiful area. The idea of the Guarana Complex came with the fact that the borough doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t offer servies other than residential and hospitality spaces (hotels and resorts), in a huge area, to supply does needs and to show a possible brighter future.

As education on small villages in the Amazonas is almost inexistent, the idea of creating independent distance learning unities came up. They would be connected by the Antenna in the Guarana Complex, and as well as the whole project, they would be working with green energy. *Final Graduation Project.

We assembled a system of crossing ‘ genes’ and then mixing shapes, it is based on Michael Weinstock theory but differ on some ideas. The crossing genes are ‘architectural sign ideals’ on specific themes (e.g. ‘topography’), reducing to three final designs which will then be chosen and mutaded according to the local environment, a process called ‘adapting’, all designed on an intuitive base. *ACADEMIC PROJECT

CCGB: CULTURAL CENTER OF BRAZILIAN GASTRONOMY

The CCGB isn’t like any other Cultural Centre, it is directly dedicated to food and how we relate to it. From the simple to the most sophisticated: in the lower level, a public fair is held every weekend, on the first floor the galleries and cooking classes are taken on a varied mix of brazilian cuisine, and on the upper floor, the auditorium, present live TV Shows and seminars of a high-end gastronomy. Those three levels insert its users in the World of ‘Food Knowledge’ on a comfortable way, bringing the nostalgic memories from their early experiences with food.

*Academic work as it was developed in 2011 with little changes of missing elements in previous 3d (added through photoshop), and dynamic coloring. All technical drawing left as it was assembled in 2011

Exo-TOWER Technical Information: Location: Asa Norte Commercial Sector 1 - Brasilia - DF - Brazil Use: Business Tower

About: If we analyze the concept of layers, we may realize that nature is layered itself, and so could be architecture. The Exo(skeleton) Tower, is developed on this concept, the exterior layer, shaped by the insect, gives structural stability, beauty, personality and protection. The natural copper used on the project will change during time and will develop a new turquoise layer, giving the city a feeling of ‘change’.

META_SUPERBLOCKS

Meta_Superblocks allow us to rethink the modern urban design of the Superblock in Brasilia - Brazil, and to re-visit concepts presented on the japanese metabolism movement. Now that technology evolved and we learned from more than 50 years of the construction of Brasilia, what could be improved and what could arise? Superblock randomization is questioned bringing the opportunity of customizing design through 3d printing, on a concept associated with the Nakagin Capsule tower. Now that we know that a city should never be designed exclusively for the automobile, what could be improved? A central subway station in a beautiful vibrant green plaza enhancing the community living would bring fresh air to a complex yet smart city. *Redeveloped academic work to further investigate concepts / ideas that were of different perspective of the university. Redeveloped in 2014

Meta-Superblocks Technical Information: Location: 207 SQN, Brasilia, DF, Brazil Use: Collective Housing / Urban Superblock Complex

About: The SQN 207 Superblock is the only superblock still unconstructed in the center of the city. For this proposal, I’ve decided to include a central plaza, of high proportions, and a subway in its center. The residential buildings surround the plaza, and even though it doesn’t look, it fully occupies the limiting constructing area for a superblock.
