Radial Zones

Gradient of New Vegetation

Gradient of Canopy Coverage

The new zones become four distinct layers (with an embedded fifth) that radiate from Mount Olympus

The new zones correspond to a gradient of vegetation, dense at the highest point, sparse that the lowest

The new canopy also corresponds to the restructuring of campus topography

BIOTECH VILLAGE In Collaboration With M-Rad Architecture

HARDEN

The City of South San Francisco hides restlessly in the ever growing shadows of its northern sibling, fighting for attention and part of the economic spotlight. Coming off of a period of stagnant post-industrial growth, South San Francisco is about to make a name for itself once again thanks to the booming Biotech Industry and expanding infrastructure supporting the Caltrain high-speed rail service. This project works closely with local planning and zoning to imagine what the future home of the Biotech Industry may look like as well as commenting on what additional programs may be required in order to support the city's forecasted growth spurt. The first phase of the project focus' specifically on the Biotech industry, offering a tower of Research and Development offices paired with an additional tower of hotel keys and ammenities to support visiting investors and future conferences. The second phase lends its allegiences to the Caltrain station expansion by offering a platform extension and retail mix as well as 158 residential units to welcome a growing population of Biotech employees and daily commuters. The development straddles US Route 101 with industry office parks to the east and residential downtown core to the west. Our own addition to the scope of local planning utilizes a green belt loop to allow for greater east-west connectivity underneath the 101 as well as reversing the suburban office park typology of buildings isolated within a sea of asphalt parking. 13

In 1941, Powers of Horror, An Essay on Abjection, by Julia Kristeva defines the Abject as something that disrupts system, identity, and order. She writes; “The corpse, seen without God and outside of science, is the utmost of abjection. It is death infected life. Abject. It is something rejected from which one does not part, from which one does not protect oneself as from an object. Imaginary uncanniness and real threat, it beckons to us and ends up engulfing us.” On the surface it would seem that the corpse represents abjection in that it reminds the onlooker of his or her own fragility and eventual death while also determining that the corpse represents something that is neither human, nor non-human, but an in-between state. Looking further into Kristeva’s quote through the lens of Sartre, the word God presents an argument much deeper than the horrific nature of the image. “Seen without God…” would seem to suggest the greater presence of abjection is not solely limited to the individual caught by surprise but within the loss of ability to relate a death to a higher power, no longer an act of god, but a senseless death that would plague each individual at a moment in time. The abjection is no longer being able to place our identity before a belief system of control and order, but that each person has a freedom to determine how to act and decide what kind of world they would like to live in. 19

SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY GRADUATE STUDENT HOUSING In Collaboration With Uzoma Idah

26


HARDEN

The call for graduate student housing presented an opportunity to re-think housing with regard to the relationship between typologies and occupancy. Using philosopher Graham Harman’s concept of Weird Realism, this project is a Chimera. It takes formal characteristics from different housing typologies, placing them in a part-to-whole relationship with the overall enclosure. Thus, the project sets the stage for a multitude of interactions between characters and occupants, questioning the impact of residential architecture on the lifestyles and livelihood of those it houses. The generated plans serve as indexes where characters extracted from the collaged images reappear. They then take on a life of their own , and are assigned traits that differ via materiality, typology, occupancy, solid, void, utility etc. The project’s concrete column and slab construction serves as the field in which elements coexist. The envelope and its various perforations act as a mask, obscuring and revealing interior moments, partially exposing its contents.

These workshops, led by Anna Neimark and FreelandBuck, focused on Graham Harman’s Object Oriented Ontology, known as Speculative Realism. The first two works begins to question, and perhaps critique, Speculative Realism’s architectural application through purposely undermining and overmining. These drawings thus undermine with its step-by-step process, while overmining with the application of Mondrian’s painting in connection to the modernist grid. Mondrian and the orthogonal grid interact with the topography of Dhaulagiri to produce form fluctuating between nature and anti-nature. The second works emphasize tactics of defamiliarization through loss and gain of edge, loose affiliations, and fragmentation in order to question the relationship between exterior profile and interior content.

A Responsive Synthetic Garden Thin fins of a pattern cut thermoresponsive material (thermo bimetal or shape memory polymer) are housed within a clear acrylic wall that acts as a heat exhaust duct for the archive’s digital storage devices. The heat activates the smart material causing it to curl - exposing the tendrils of the cut pattern and obscuring the view to the other side.

MONSTER TRUCK Workshop With Raumlabor Berlin’s Axel Timm Andreas Krauth

Conceptual Design Team Max Harden Alyssa Goraieb Jeremy Burns In Collaboration With First and Second Year Graduate Design Studio

44


HARDEN

This workshop, led by Axel Timm and Andreas Krauth of Raumlabor Berlin, is simultaneously a comment on American car culture as well as the ‘stoop culture’ of the Near West Side neighborhood of Syracuse. The Near West Side has a history of violence and territorial seclusion, not just from downtown Syracuse, but within its own community as well. The sense of territorial seclusion within the community came from the overwhelming sense of ‘stoop culture,’ meaning that residents of the Near West Side kept to their own properties, reducing community space to the front steps of private homes and limiting social interaction. The aim for this multi-use structure was to create flexibility for community interaction. Components of the Monster Truck unfold, giving way for several programmatic configurations that speak to the Near West Side identity; the new stoop, the wheel well bar, performing arts stage, sauna, and back deck. Together, these elements work toward achieving a location for multiple demographics within the community to interact with one another, building new relationships and a stronger sense of community.

SWISSNEX PARKLET In Collaboration With swissnex San Francisco GEHL Architects UC Berkeley

Urban-Think Tank Team Alfredo Brillembourg Hubert Klumpner Katerina Kourkoula Hannes Gutberlet Danny Wills

50


HARDEN

The swissnex Parklet, commissioned by swissnex San Francisco, is a temporary structure installed in the parking space parallel to swissnex San Francisco’s storefront at 730 Montgomery St. The installation is part of San Francisco’s Pavement to Park’s program. This project concentrates on the reordering of public life through interventions and aims to investigate the intersection of the city scape and social life through the scope of San Francisco’s ‘Pavement to Parks’ program. The modernization of cities has prioritized technological advancement in transportation systems over pedestrian spaces in order to maximize efficiency. What we have been left with are urban schemes with largely isolated parks, rather than small pockets integrated into the public sphere. Urban-Think Tank’s parklet design questions this prioritization of efficiency over spaces of social exchange by providing a platform for public performance to serve as a catalyst for social reform. These parklets transform parking spaces within San Francisco by placing upon them small scale structures infused with public program.
