Timber in the City: Urban Habitats Competition was held for the second time during 2015-2016. The competition challenges participants to push the technology for modern timber construction. Timber has wonderful natural aesthetic qualities as well as being a renewable resource with the potential to last hundreds of years.

The project site is located in the lower eastside of New York City along Delancy St. and Essex St. Located within the site would be housing, a public market, and an Andy Warhol Museum. Placing the more public programs closer to busy Delancy St. protects the housing, which is placed in the back of the site by the residential area to the south. Integrating the programs together on the site creates a smaller community feel within the larger neighborhood and city.

During times of crisis where people are displaced from their homes, it is important to be able to quickly provide shelters where these people can find safety. In recent years, Haiti has had the unfortunate luck of being affected by multiple natural disasters. Providing a shelter with simple materials that can be repurposed can give the shelter a second life, and will hopefully further benefit the user as well.
2x4 SHELTER
Port-Au-Prince, Haiti
RESPONSE The 2x4 Shelter was conceived to be an easily assembled shelter for places experiencing calamity that could be modified to better suit the conditions of the locale and available materials. This “kit of parts� can be sent with all major structural materials included, with in a shipping container. The basic structural frame can be assembled to provide immediate shelter. Should a more permanent shelter be needed, more can be added either from the kit of parts, or from material found nearby. Typically, wood pallets are used when shipping large amounts of supplies. Repurposing these pallets could save on material cost. DAY ONE RESPONSE

STRUCTURE Beginning with a foundation of plastic crates or cement blocks. The main structural pieces are strategically notched to make assembling the shelter This version of the shelter uses wooden pallets to infill between the 2’x 4’ truss columns, adding to the lateral support. The notched columns and beams allow for easier connections between the pieces. The thickness of the columns also allows for insulation to be added if needed.

MODULARITY Making the kit of parts modular allows for the size of the shelter to adapt to the needs of the user. In this way a single person up to a large family can create a shelter from the kit. With minor modifications, the shelters could also be set up for use as a restroom facility, community center, or small hospital. Whatever need the people require, the framework of the shelter allows for people to modify the building without compromising on structure.

The Asheville Design Center believes that “everyone deserves good design.� With every project, the Design Center invites people from every background to participate in the projects it takes on, engaging them in the design process. Through community-driven design, a better design solution can be presented for people to enjoy.

SITE This project was a summer design-build studio held by the Asheville Design Center. The city of Asheville announced plans to implement Greenways, pedestrian pathways, along the rivers in Buncombe county to connect parks and communities, and to provide a beautiful area for recreational activities. However, because of the many runoff streams, small bridges would be needed to cross them. Our studio designed one of these bridges in the River Arts District for the City of Asheville.

COMMUNITY For ten weeks, ten students and two instructors worked closely with local professionals, artists, and community members to create a bridge design people would enjoy. Within two weeks, a main design was chosen, and at key points the communities around the site were invited to provide feedback as work progressed. Full scale mock-ups were occasionally provided to better understand the scale, and for people to test our how the bridge would feel.

As the world becomes more conscious of environmental concerns, more institutes are forming to help improve current building systems for more efficiency and stainability. One such institute is Passive House, which aims to achieve a high level of energy efficiency through improving the building envelope with more insulation, less thermal bridging, and controlling heat gain.
