The River + The Rail

emergent symbiotic machine by process of system splicing + reactionionary opposition Traversing Landscape_Bartram’s Garden LARP 501 • PennDesign Fall 2012 • critic_Dilip da Cunha Published in Process 17

Industrial cities characteristicaly exhibit infrastructural networks along rivers. Although traveling adjacent to eachother through the fabric, systems are separate with no interaction. The River and The Rail proposes a deliberate juxstaposition, celebrating the 2 systems while creating new symbiotic infrastructure remediating each system’s weaknesses through a progession of splicing, reactions, and armistice.

SPLICED SPINE_JUXSTPOSED SYSTEMS

Bisecting the two worls of the natural and the industrial by 54th street, the two systems stage 01ÂŞÂŞ splice into eachother by their prominent edge conditions. Through the three stages of 01_splicing, 02_opposing reactions, and 03_emergent armistice, the systems act characteristic to their inherent properties.

The deployable seeding structure created by the re-appropriated rubbles acts as a dynamic machine cultivating remediation plants to be used in the remediation of the industrial sites and to be seeded out to other contaiminated industrial sites. The wetland canals cut into the industrialscape with both soft and hard edges creating habitat refuge for the river ecologies and social amnetiy to the adjacent neighbrhood.

Uncovering the Invisible System

the intertwining of building and site creating a new symbiotic architecture with water as mediator Breadboarding the City ARCH 502 • PennDesign Spring 2012 • critic_Mark Kroeckel Published in Workbook

Acknowledging the city of Philadelphia’s drastically overflowing combined sewer outfalls into the Delaware River, my project attempts to alleviate the issue by revitalizing the city’s water system to create a new urban realm in which buildings and sites become 1 entity with water acting as the mediating agent resulting in a new symbiotic architecture that is tightly woven into the urban fabric remediating the city’s blasé attitude by the soft transitions from exterior into interior.

SITE STRATEGY

The site sits at a crux of 4 different street types which all have corresponding water strategies. The strategies transition through the site creating new intersections. The site is thus embedded into the fabric of the city, inviograting the buildings program at the emergence of the capillary strategies flowing through the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volume.

WATER PURIFICATION STSTEMS

FILTER FEEDERS a

Rainwater that falls onto the site is directed along the valleys of the roof through the operative exterior structure filtering the water with filter feeders contained within the structure that eat bacteria. The water is then collected on the lowest point and channeled through a crevice that slices through the volume, spewing the water out into the next phase of filtration. Joining the storm water that is collected from the city, the water is then collectively further filtered in the hardscape and softscape purification zones by fish and plants.

Gateway National Park, composed of a collection of unique parks all have distinct ecologies, iconic landmarks, contextual fabrics, and each a different position in the Lower New York Bay. Instead of re-branding these entities or blanketing them with the same park strategy, Going With The Flow intensifies identities responding to their adjancies creating parasitic relationships with architecture, water, and the urban fabric.

Going With The Flow

a re-imagined coastal park + housing living symbiotically with water adjusting to systems of flux Variable Energy Systems_Infrastructure for Open Waters_Coastal Park LARP 502 • PennDesign Spring 2013 • critic_Ellen Neises (in progress)

Instead of conceding to the water and running scared to high ground, or arrogantly thinking we can control water with our high tech engineering, “Going With The Flow” takes on the bigger challenge to find a way to symbiotically exist together. Using the existing network of wetlands and waterways as a catalyst for strategic invasions into the fabric, the coastal park will grow in flux with the phasing of demolished and vacated housing.

Pocket Ecologies, a hard tectonic infrastructure, is a hybrid machine acting as a jetty, wave attenuation, artificial dune and polder network. The system can morph to site specific particularities, connecting patches and creating future ecology corridors. Composed of varying triangular modules, Pocket Ecologies is strategically planted with specific ecologic types acting as seeder cells which would propagate into the other cells over time.

Situated on the Kirkwood-Cohansey formation, the soil is extremely sandy and acidic with little to no nitrogen and iron due to the loss of decomposion from the lack of bacteria in the acidic sterilizing soil. Because of the well-drained and super sandy soil, the barrens act as a swamp with unique plant life that can tolerate the acidity.

Weaving the site into the urban fabric with connective armatures dynamicaly functioning as water transportation, stormwater absorption, strategies, and deployable pod tracks. Urban Water Farm creates deployment of interconnected motherships along schuykill river through stormwater management infrastructure connecting parks and people back to the “hidden river”.

Re-Energizing The Urban Agriculture Cycle connecting landscapes through graywater collection + filtration repurposing existing structures Re-Visioning the Food Truck Route in Old City Schenk Woodmen Competition LARP 502 â&#x20AC;˘ PennDesign Spring 2012 (1 week competition) HONORABLE MENTION

Re-energizing the urban agriculture cycle in Old City Philadelphia promotes a more sustainable approach to the food truck typology. Food truck stops are connected throughout the neighborhood creating an urban running trail path that connects within the larger landscape infrastructure. The path is inserted into the existing fabric allowing for flexible responses to the context.

Transition: Perception Distortion

an exploration of episodic memory retrieval through the lens of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Concept Context Content ARCH 501 • PennDesign Fall 2011 • critic_Philipp von Dalwig

The Arts Pavilion acts as a gateway transition between the 2 contrasting site conditions: Wild Natural Landscape + Urban Hardscape. Transitions become distorted according to adjacent conditions through the progression of the building. Through distortion, the user’s perception becomes heightened, leaving the user in the programmatic action space in state of “awareness” to further concentrate on the given task of the space.

The BSA Design Center, situated along the Fort Point Channel in South Boston, follows the movement of layers created by the Channel and the Harborwalk, the building sits as part of the continuum while also book-ending the site and marking its presence as an iconic symbol on the Boston Waterfrront. The BSA Design Center extends the educational component of the adjacent Children’s Museum by exhibiting the systems, structure, and passive strategies.

Utilizing a typical parking garage structure, the concrete beams act as an air duct circulating the airflow from the low fenestration system out into the atrium where the air is sucked up and released at the top. By embedding the beams with radiant tubes, the surface area of the T shape is exploited to maximize the thermal active components of the concrete. Running along the atrium separating the private offices from the open offices, is a thick rammed earth wall which contributes to the stack effect with its inherent thermal activity.
