THE VILLAGE AT GOVERNORS ISLAND | GOVERNORS ISLAND | NEW YORK

OUA YSOA SIMON HARTMANN | ADVANCED STUDIO GOVERNORS ISLAND | 2018

Site Plan, 1� : 40’

01

The Village at Governors Island is an adaptive reuse project which repurposes existing infrastructure on the eastern development zone of the site as a strategy for creating a para-metropolitan identity, within the island, for temporary residence and creative professional who favor variegated layers of interaction and seclusion.

The strategy includes repurposing existing buildings facing Brooklyn into residential buildings which facilitate families as well as individual occupants with longer tenors on the island. Occupants can rent individual residence for periods up to 3 months. A mixed use building structure provides residents with office space as well as ample meeting spaces for lectures and social events. A residential portion of the building facilitated housing for creative professionals staying on the island for no more than a week while the ground floor and top most floor are accessible to the public as circulation spaces and viewing areas.

The Village at Governors East reconfigures the edge of Governors Island into a publically accessible wetland. The wetland provides the island with 40 acres of vegetative land aimed at providing the island with a regenerative resiliency strategy in anticipation of the predicted increase in flood levels in 50 years. Piers provide open air areas for outdoor functions either randomly orchestrated or provided by the island.

Clearwater pools provide recreational outdoor swimming which can be enjoyed by residence as well as visitors to the island. Elevated pathways provide access to desperate sides of the wetland and create scenic views which can be enjoyed by everyone. On the northern half of the development, the Brooklyn pier is kept functioning in order maintain and increase visitor ship from outside Manhattan. Finally a structure situated in between the residential area provides space for festivals and enclosed events which enjoy views to the wetland.

The MTA projects a steep increase in commuter traffic at transfer stations in Brooklyn due to the closure of the L in 2019. While typically overlooked, surrounding neighborhoods have consequently become the center of attention for city planners projecting increased ridership in these areas, responding with a barrage of city-commissioned neighborhood assessments and rezoning proposals (the most recent going into effect in 2016). Resisting a ‘masterplan’ approach to neighborhood re-development often synonymous with gentrification, we propose a series of interventions along the section of elevated rail between Broadway Junction (L, A, C, J, Z) and Myrtle Ave (J, Z, M), financed by various municipal incentive programs and implemented within the 18 months of the ‘L’ closure, aimed at reconnecting, safeguarding, and enabling an historically over-passed neighborhood.

Analysis of Energy Usage per year in KW/h

Due to the L Train closure in 2019, the MTA projects a steep increase in commuter traffic at transfer stations in Brooklyn.

Projecting increased subway ridership along the elevated rail above Broadway St, developers have responded with a barrage of city-commissioned neighborhood assessments and rezoning proposals led by civic entities from the NYC Department of City Planning to the NYC Economic Development Corporation. Resisting a masterplan approach to neighborhood redevelopment efforts often synonymous with gentrification, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ReWiredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; suggests a series of low-impact sustainable efforts along the section of elevated rail between Broadway Junction and Myrtle Ave stations. Financed by various municipal incentive programs and implemented within the 18 months of the L closure, these efforts are aimed at reviving, recharging, and reconnecting an historically overpassed neighborhood.

Rednering of Ferry Terminal Front view

Waste in america is often times overlooked as a peripheral element of our day to day lives, concealed within containers, closed off and hidden within alley ways or placed at the edge of building envelope. In New York city of the early 20th century trash disposal consisted of dumping waste on the edge of curbs or on sidewalks the day of dumpster pick up. These impractical means of disposing of waste solicited complaints from many of the new york residence who complained of the stench from the waste and its unsightly presence in there community.There legislatures reactions to this uproar resulted in the way that waste is collected and disposed of today.

Rednering of Ferry Terminal Market Area

As technology advances and our understanding of the way we dispose of waste increases then our separation and processing of waste will also become more specific in its means separation and elongated in its mode disposal.

As an example New York city has begun to invite initiatives to make use of the waste that is produced by the community, such as composting within neighborhoods as well as promoting recycling. This project performs the role of both a recycling plant for consumer waste, and as an incubator kitchen space; a catalyst for the production of waste. This project explores the way in which trash collected destroyed and used can influence a spacial program.

The building is separated into three parts, the storage facility which contains office space for building operations and management, the incubator space which contains kitchens and dining spaces for social functions, and the terminal for ferry passengers In each of these spaces an activity involving waste takes place. The offices are retrofitted with detachable recycled nylon nets for the capture of paper and plastic used during the day, the incubator space is programmed around waste funnels and the terminal also acts as a silo station for composting waste to be dispensed to farms as well as utilized for energy.

Top Image : Adeline Street View Perspective 04

We begin with a prototypical, flexible system in which living spaces are produced by the interaction of two panelized systems: utility armatures and the exterior envelope.

This system can be deployed on and tailored to multiple sites. We deployed our system onto the corner of Adeline and Eddy streets, a site whose specific conditions generated the placement of our entry for each unit and their corresponding territory. Finally, we enclosed this system within an exterior membrane that mediates between interior and exterior conditions in order to address specifics of lighting, privacy, and environmental conditions In order to establish a sense of individuality and ownership for each unit, we treated each side of the corner site as a front. The family unit’s domain faces Adeline street. The individual faces the back of the site. To maintain privacy on the Eddy street side of our site, we included a line of vegetation, punctuated by access points of the single occupant. This line of vegetation extends into the back of the site, which we propose as a conceptual as well as physical connection to Val Macri.

Val Macri’s living spaces overlook a central courtyard and large tree. The back of our site proposes a similar strategy in which a central tree and planters, (open to Val Macri residents as well as our clients), are circumscribed by tall hedges. The circulation flows diagonally through the garden space, connecting our site to Val Macri’s entrance.

Cocpetual Models Material: Rocite, Oil Paint, Rotten Flowers The premise of this project was to critique the validity of the primitive hut and its primacy within the architectural lexicon. In an effort to debunc the historical ligitimacy of deduction through emperical interpretation, a pre - enlightenment system of reasoning, an architectural of object was made(bottom right image) and rusticated to mimic the relative time period of a 17th century central African object. The object was then associated with a actual object predating the enlioghtenment and intergrated into a news paper article which narrated a fictional reality in which both objects occupied a central function within central african culture. Both objects could emperically be held as actual artifact.

The second part of the project critiqued the primitive hut as a tomb. A house is a house to die in; a house to dife in is a tomb. The primmitive hut is thus a tomb.

The Design Computaiton course seeked to apply the creative application of programming and digital tools for applications in architecture. The Pneumatic Wall project aimed to convert analog and environmental processes into a digitally responsive wall. Using computer vision and blob detection libraries in Processing, a colored object is detected and displayed on a computer interface.

This data is used to activate a wall of computer fans arrayed in a 4x4 grid. These fans, controlled by an Arduino through a series of relays activate and inflate a baloon once the coresponding square is activated on the screen. This proof of concept serves as a model that can be scaled up to larger applications.

In this specultive form course, teams explored computational methods for arriving at novel forms of aggregation .

THe computational units interact through an aggregation of points within a 3d field of attractants and repellents that is predetermined by the parameters of an adjacent (foreign) part. A 3d tile of variable size is developed - depending on the density of points (according to the strength of and distance from attraction). The end result is a computational voxel which parallels cellular automata.

GARDEN + PLEASURE | NEW HAVEN | CONNECTICUT

OUA YSOA DAN GLICK UNTERMANN + IAN DONALDSON + OLISA AGULUE| GARDEN PLEASURE | 2017

The primary space of the installation is a central gathering space that serves as a platform for community engagement, collective reflection and discourse. In partnership with existing programs at Yale and in New Haven, this space will host events and workshops on architecture and the arts for local students grades 4-12. Rather than have students or visitors to a museum become versed on a ‘correct’ understanding of the work, or given access to a code of meaning, ‘garden—pleasure’ produces a variety of interpretations, reactions and emotions to stimulate discussion and speculation amongst visitors.

In this way, destabilizing the modes of knowledge production predicated on consensus, this installation and its discursive effects aim to support modes of learning based difference, the exchange of ideas, feedback and discussion. ‘garden—pleasure’ and this capacity for outreach will serve as an entrée to the school of architecture—a space for inviting the outsidein.

Inside each figure, an interactive installation is created by a different artist or multi-disciplinary team. Given our social and political ambitions as designers, a single hand in authorship is antithetical to our aims.

Collaboration between a wide array of architects, video installation artists, graphic designers, sculptors and other producers is necessary to dissolve the frame of installation as commodity object and also as a prerequisite to collectively author a ‘reflection of contemporary cultural scripts.’

The interiors are a collection of enclaves for individual and group contemplation. They are small enough for one or two visitors at a given time. Subjective, personal and affectual experiences of the interiors oscillate meaning between the scenographic objective reading of the collection of anthropomorphic figures in the ‘garden’. Together this re-stitches and overlaps collective and individual subjectivity. This refiguration of subjectivity to conflate the collective with the individual constitutes the performance and primary ambitions of ‘garden—pleasure’.
