- POWERSCAPES Team: Rafaela Olivares, Anam Ahmed Professor: Andres Jaque Work: GSAPP - Columbia University Year: Fall 2019 Location: New York, USA Powerscapes addresses the gendered dimensions of the climate change crisis by focusing on women and the disruption of their socio-economic setups, which consequently force them to migrate. Spaces are designed to create shared resources between the community of the building and the city. Questioning and proposing an economy alternative to capitalism. Creating a system that provides the infraestructure, tools and assistance for the residents to produce artifacts, technology and foods aiming for the financial empowerement of the migrants. A series of mixers with an assemblage of spaces, address entertainment, celebration, healing and support. The living typologies challenge and reimagine the domestic labor implied in our current ways of living.

Mixer B Render

MIXER A - With a sense of togetherness, the reproduction rights space is created for empowering women to take control of their bodies. Within this area, every woman will be free to seek a safe abortion, learn about birth control methods and plan parenthood, always finding a support system of specialists women and specialists if needed. The creation of a non denominated worship space, allows the freedom of professing any religion.

MIXER B - This interconnected mixer includes a theater where the neighbors can showcase their talents or can also be used as a free space to share ideas or generate a debate. The small garden is overseen by the community, creating a sense of duty and responsability that contibutes the healing process. For women empowerement, individual spaces with different types of businesses are designed. The community of the building can get together in gathering areas or at the pool.

MIXER Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122; - On the top of the building, this mixer also includes gathering spaces for the community that are repeatedly appearing throughout the building, in addition to a pool. The notion and essence of a water space, for entertainment or relax, is a key element of the building as it translates to the close relationship that many cultures of the refugees have with it. In addition to these, a food space in which all the culinary traditions can be explored and shared through cooking together and trading goods with each other.

MIXER C - Individual spaces are created to provide free movement for women while empowering them through grooming areas, gathering spaces and a pool. These small business translate into a personal economy that women can access to while showcasing their abilities and skills. All of these spaces interact with one another and create a safe environment that encourage the interaction without fear or concern.

Land Intervention

Team: Alex Hudtwalcker Rey Professor: Pedro & Juana Work: GSAPP - Columbia University Year: Summer 2019 Coney Island

Location: New York, USA

+ Wonder Wheel

Entertainment

Understanding entertainment as a tool to raise awareness, we created a device to mitigate the contamination of the East River. The combined sewer overflows discharge water occasionally from the main sewage pipes into the river, carrying not only water but also untreated human, industrial waste and debris. In response the design of this device will be in charge of collecting the trash right from the source. Those inventions will be taken to Roosevelt Island to be adapted into 3 differents devices. Each one of those, will work as a system equipped with living species of oysters, that will help the filtration of the water. With this, the ecosystem will be restored in order to create a safe environment for the public.

+ Roosevelt Island

+ Cornell Tech

+ Pollution

Beginning our research of Roosevelt Island and the East River, we defined 2 scales of intervention, Land and water, and analyzed each one of them through a series of layers.

Land Intervention

The main source of contamination of the East River are the Combined sewer overflow, designed to discharge water occasionally from the main sewage pipes to a river or waterbody. During periods of excessive rainfall or snowmelt, the wastewater volume in a combined sewer system like NY, can exceed the design capacity of the water treatment plant. The CSOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contain not only storm water, but also untreated human and industrial waste, toxic materials, and debris.

Combined sewer systems transport all of their wastewater to a sewage treatment plant, where it is treated and then discharged to a water body. The sewage system in NY is divided into 14 areas or sewersheds, each with its own water treatment plant.

Land Intervention

This image shows the use of the land in both shores of Roosevelt Island. There is a predominant residential use in the north west part, while an industrial use predominates in the north east side.

The water research consisted on getting to know the topography of the bottom of the river, what are the current transportation routes and locating the polluted zones.

Water Intervention

- GSAPP WORK -

- INTERSPECIES PURIFICATOR -

Water Intervention

In the water area, it needs to be mentioned that the East River itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrongly called a river. In fact, it is a salt water estuary that connects Upper New York Bay with its south end. So in order to work in the water, we studied sailing maps that show the topography lines of the bottom of the tidal.

Also, as a crucial part of the area, the 3 ferry lines that pass through the site, East River, Astoria and Lower East Side. All of them have routes on the east side of the island. In addition, we identified the restricted sailing areas in which ships and boats are not allowed to sail in because it is not deep enough.

Land + Water Intervention

- GSAPP WORK -

- INTERSPECIES PURIFICATOR -

Water Intervention

In this map we wanted to show and identify the polluted zones combining the CSOs and the oil and grease from the ships.

Having analyzed all these aspects of land and water, we concluded and identified in which parts we need to engage in order to attack the trash and pollution problem. Also, we were able to understand how this contamination gets into the water and how can we intervene. Moreover, having the sailing maps and topography of the tidal, we know in which areas is possible to develop our project without changing the normal rhythm of the site.

Proposal Diagram

Almost 70% of the NY sewage system is designed to collect domestic sewage and industrial wastewater, as well as rainwater runoff in the same pipe. So up to this point, we can conclude that there are 2 main sources of contamination and 2 different types of pollution in the East River. On one hand, the one from the CSOs that carries floatable material not only from households and industries, but also from everything that gets filtered from the streets through the catch basins, such as plastic bags, bottles and cigarette butts. On the other hand, we found that there is a 10 to 15% of organic materials that wastewater treatment plants donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t treat. This organic material is also released into the East River.

With all the previous research, we came to the conclusion for the base of our project, we want to erradicate the contamination. Having the CSOs pollution coming from Manhattan and Long Island, plus the pollution coming from the water treatment plants and ships, we thought of a filtration system capable of transforming the contaminated water into clean one.

Proposal Diagram

The Device

The Device

In response, we design a device that is in charge of collecting the trash coming from the first source of pollution that are the CSOs. This device will collect the floatable derbis through a riverbin that will be in line with the water surface. Once the trash gets in, a water pump connected to a solar panel, will be in charge of pumping the water out again into the water.

The device itself will be designed with floatable polyethylene docks and coated with a wood platform. All of this will be attached to an anchor in the bottom in order to make it still.

These devices will be located in CSOs in order to get the trash just when an overflow occurs. Once they are filled with trash, they will be transported back to Roosevelt Island in order to be trated with the collected trash and derbis.

The Device at the CSO

The devices, once at the CSOs, will work as a system, forming a cluster outside the source of pollution to grab and collect all the trash within these secured place. This way the problem will be attacked directly from the source.

A New Ecosystem

A New Ecosystem

Once the devices are brought back to Roosevelt Island, they are taken to Cornell Tech, in which they are adapted into 3 different devices that will work as a whole, forming a new ecosystem in order to achieve the filtration of the water.

102

The adaptation of the devices will be used as a campaign to raise awareness on how this floatable trash can be reduced in order to make the water more enjoyable and useful. To create an impact on the society, the trash that has been grabbed in the CSOs will be fully shown and on display in the devices.

103

The Interaction

- GSAPP WORK -

- INTERSPECIES PURIFICATOR -

The Interaction

The first device, called the interaction, will introduce our filtration element, the oysters. They can filtrate up to 24 gallons of water per day. They are suspension feeders, meaning that they eat the plankton and contaminants found on the surface of the water. By eating them, they allow the oxygen and the light to come through to the bottom of the tidal allowing the aquatic vegetation to grow.

104

In this device, oysters setting tanks will be placed. In here, larvae oysters will be mixed with the recovered shells from restaurants in order for them to attach to each other and will be kept there around 2 weeks. This tanks will be perforated in the bottom to allow water to mix with the growing oysters. People will get involved with the process on how to grow them and get a first hand look on how oysters can become a resourceful animal to fight contamination.

105

The Pool

- GSAPP WORK -

- INTERSPECIES PURIFICATOR -

The Pool

The second device, called the pool, will serve as direct proof of the oysters work. People will be able to swim within the device that will be filled with clean water thanks to the growing out oysters cages floating beneath it. The oysters take up to 3 years to fully grow and be able to be released from the cages.

106

While the cages filled with oysters keep filtrating the water, the riverbin collector will be full of the trash that was collected in order to fulfill the purpose of the device of raising awareness through entertainment.

107

The Wetland

- INTERSPECIES PURIFICATOR -

The Wetland

The third device will help with the restoration of the system above water. Tanks will be placed in the middle and will be filled with soil coming from the dredging of the river and clean water from the devices. There, plants from the adjacent ecosystem, such as common reed or water celery will be planted in order to provide shelter for species of animals that have been expelled from their original place.

108

On the bottom, the fully grown oysters will be placed and kept there to continue the water filtration and to start to grow a reef beneath the device. It is stipulated that the oysters full capacity will be reached within 10 years.

The devices will work as a system with each other and with the island itself. Roosevelt Island has no direct contact with the water. We redesigned the borders of the island with a series of steps and platforms that will restore the relationship between the people and the water. In addition, two underwater passages will be placed at the ends of the intervention area to enclose the water and allow to work with a manageable area.

Case 2 - The Clusters

CASE 1 - The devices are strategically placed in line with the bottom of the tidal topography line in order to create a barrier that can serve as a first filter into our system. On one side it can be seen the not filtrate water, while on the other side, the water has been filtered. CASE 2 - This detail image shows the second adopted strategy by creating a cluster with the devices. This enclosed place can easily be formed with a number of them and can create a place to develop various activities of entertainment and interaction with the filtrated water. CASE 3 - Another approach both to the water and to witnessing the new ecosystem, are the underwater passages. In there, people can experience the results of the filtration by seeing on display the bottom of the devices with the oysters, the barrier formed by them and the species that are coming back to the place.

Apartment Render

Own project Work: Professional work Year: May 2019 Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina

The refurbishment of the apartment focused most of the work in the kitchen and the bathroom. In the kitchen area, a counter was included in order to give the space an extra surface for cooking and eating. All the cabinets were replaced and redesigned to provide an efficient use of the available space. Additionally, an upgrade of the wall tiles were made to create a modern style. In the bathroom, the old-fashioned tiles were replaced with new marble ones. Cabinets and faucets were also improved and upgraded. This was my first solo project and I was responsible for the design and follow-up of the whole work, on top of the interiorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advisory design which included the selection of paint colors, furniture and lightning.

Proposed Circulation

Solo work Professor: Mark Wasiuta Work: GSAPP - Columbia University Year: Spring 2020 Location: Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam The project, in hand with the research, tries to create a series of interventions throughout the existing War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh. Understanding and acknowledging the complexity and articulation of the war crimes committed, these spaces focus on how the body engages with the evidence and the different layers of comprehension that they imply. The circulation proposed, challenges the perception of the user throughout the whole visit. A rotatable device helps the display of photographic documents while involving the visitor. Maps of the mission, devices scattered along the path, comparing color and non colored pictures and a recreation of the rescue scene, help the visitorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perceptions of the violence occurred during the military operation.

Search and Destroy Mission

Us soldiers were instructed to convey a search and destroy mission with the objective of getting all the weapons, ammunition, military equipment and food supplies of the enemy. But the operation turned into a carnage and ended up with the killing of 250 villagers including men, women and children. It is suspected that the number of unarmed people killed by U.S soldiers were close to 500, far above the number reported.

144

While flying over the village in a reconnaissance mission, LT. Thompson and his crew, saw about 50 dead bodies on the ground and soldiers holding unarmed villagers at gunpoint. In an attempt to stop the killings, the helicopter landed in the middle of the village and ended up saving 15 Vietnamese. This intervention played a key role in the aftermath of the massacre as it was the only witness report of the war crimes committed.

Proposed Intervention

The uncover of the massacre started in1969, when the My Lai Inquiry was conducted by the Pentagon. The impact on the public opinion was immense when the Life magazine published the color pictures held and sold by the an army photographer. Those images showed the violence and the war crimes perpetuated by the U.S soldiers and generated a huge rejection towards the war. The existing museum showcases many documents, artifacts and war photos. The objective of the project is to add value to the existing museum by creating this system of understanding and unpacking of the evidence to later reencounter with the current display. The images described before are contained in a spiral path that goes from the ground floor to the top one. With the same premise of continuous path, the rescue mission is displayed in an enclosed room that connects every floor of the existing museum.

In there, the user can explore the scene from different angles thanks to the creation of a runway that covers the room and brings the person closer to the drawings.

The first one allows the person to catch a first glimpse of the scene as coming down the stairs. The second one gives a whole image when arriving to the platform. The third point of view allows the user to find himself reflected when entering the helicopter. Finally, number 4 grants the visitor the chance to find himself on the pilot position and see the situation from above.

Solo project Work: Undergraduate Year: December 2017 Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina

The main idea of the project is to include the Maldonado stream, recently uncovered, into the proposal. With this purpose, a park along the stream and by its level is designed. This concept is reinforced by the urge of creating new public spaces within the highly density of the area. The community center includes a sports program which is located in the basement, highlighting the pool and creating a virtual â&#x20AC;&#x153;water-waterâ&#x20AC;? realtion with the stream. Regarding the office and administration sectors, those can be found on the ground level, creating an easy access for pedestrians. Finally, the education part is placed in a modulated tower, where the classrooms are repeated one above the other, combining a simple circulation with a productive use of space.

Towet Section

Team: Rocio Plechot Work: Undergraduate Year: December 2016 Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina

The projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main challenge is to design an apartment building in a centric part of Buenos Aires. In the first place, three types of apartments, which vary in dimensions, are designed. The principal idea is to achieve panoramic views of the city without any surrounding buildings blocking them. To accomplish that, lines are drawn to the urban spaces left, where there is a chance to direct a view. Using these lines, a variety of geometries are generated to create different apartment floor plans. As a result, three floor plans are produced. The repetition of each one of them creates a block of apartments with the same dimensions until changed into another shape. The interiors are thought to include double height spaces. The urban space is introduced into the project through a ramp that connects the nearby context with the offices and shops proposed on the ground floor.
