EVOKING RED IN ITS ABSENCE

tate red TATE RED is an experiential wayfinding museum found to express the feelings of the colour red. It is an extension of the Millennium Bridge filtering people through art filled gardens into the Eastbank neighborhood.

The structure is an undulating filter meant to connect visitors to nature and arT. Comprised of glu-lam beams and an tensile skin of membrane arrays creating a canopy around the structure. The tensile structure is a twoform active tension system utilizing a layered cable net system with arrays suspended in the system. This allows the system to vary to environmental stimuli, thus creating an everchanging canopy.

THREE Art(ist) in residence PODS creates a unique interaction of ART, VIEWING artistS IN THE ACT OF creating.

Red sings from the trees in spring. Red dances in the wind of Oak trees during autumn. Red is fervor driving the hand of the artist. Red is imminent change.

EXISTING METLIFE BUILDING

the second life of the metlife renovation uses timely principles of adaptive - reuse, passive strategies, urban parks, and courtyard spaces to maintain its presence as a mid-town icon AND RECLAIM LOST PARK SPACE THAT GAVE PARK AVENUE ITS NAMESAKE.

SYLINE VIEW

In 2001 it was rumored that an investigation revealed age-related defects in the faรงade of the MetLife Building. The precast faรงade was reaching the end of its life and with it was bringing a new opportunity.

A new opportunity exists to address design issues related to site, energy use, observation deck, users, faรงade, and architectural legacy through renovation.

The goal of using this well-known Park Avenue landmark is to demonstrate the power of renovations, and to show a sustainable way to renew the city.

The Second Life of the

MetLife Building is to bring relevance and to contribute positively to the twenty-first century in an ecological and economical way.

The Pan Am building (now MetLife Building) was conceived in 1958, but its deeply found origins started long before.

RESEARCH SHOWS THAT IF RESIDENTS WERE TO USE A 5,000 BTU 900 KW AIR CONDITIONER FOR ONLY 4 HOURS PER DAY, THE YEARLY ELECTRIC BILL WOULD TOTAL $12,610 (BASED ON HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC RATE OF $0.32/KWH).

IF ALL 908 UNITS WERE TO USE THE A/C IN THE GIVEN CAPACITY IT WOULD COST KUKUI RESIDENTS $11,453,875 PER YEAR. ENERGY SAVINGS OFFSET BY NATURAL VENTILATION AND PASSIVE COOLING STRATEGIES ARE THE FOCUS OF THE KUKUI TOWERS RE-DESIGN.
