01 Boulder Farmers' Market

Boulder farmers' Market studio 4 Marcel De Lange

Boulder is home to a rapidly growing Farmers’ Market yet it has no permanent infrastructure to support it. After interviewing market directors, farmers, and compiling research, my partner and I designed a multi-use building which would appeal to both types of users. We kept the promenade aspect of the current market but wrapped it around the new site. The floor slabs were then ramped at 1:48 to provide a constant slight rise to the second floor. This allows vendors to drive into the building and unload their goods directly at their stand, and continue to an underground parking garage. This also gives the visitors a unique experience which culminates at a green roof. Shortcuts are also added to create a closed loop of the ramp.

02 Boulder Hostel

Boulder Hostel Studio 3 Ping Xu

Boulder, CO is a very active town that experiences many visitors. However, there is no affordable place to stay upon visiting.

This design is a proposal for a hostel located in the foothills west of town. It is centered around the idea of community, and explores the concept of revealing. The building lifts up from the hillside and cuts away from itself to provide opportunities for people- watching.

Visitors become the revealed object.

Opportunities for exhibition occur in the atrium section (below the main skylight) where the floor steps down to a dining area.

Visitors can also look out the front and see people swimming in the basement. Patrons can also observe new guests arrive from the loft above the entrance.

Marcel De Lange

The design of a roadside farm stand raised questions of open/closed relationships and signage that would attract the most customers who drive past the site. The result was an object that could be prefabricated and shipped to any location and outfitted with custom graphics. Additionally, the farm could move its stand to various locations, including farmers markets. The farm stand consists of an interior box which has a fixed position while an exterior box slides over this on tracks. When the market is open, the stand can thus slide open and add an extra 2/3 of its original length. When the market closes down, the stand simply slides back to a sealed position. This kinetic relationship then organized the fixed/mobile aspects of the plan

Master Plan Studio 5 Kathy Velikov

Just outside of Detroit exists one of the busiest International Border Crossings in the U.S. To alleviate the congestion of thousands of commercial trucks crossing, a second bridge down river is being proposed. My design for the customs check point also brings with it a trucking center to accommodate the large flows of semi-trucks as they are processed by the border patrol. The buildings on the site float above the ground to allow for truck movement and parking beneath. They appear as singular structures but hold a wide array of programs which stretch out across the vast site. The placement of the customs plaza and trucking center is strategic to limit the impact on the surrounding impoverished neighborhood of Delray. The trucking center aims to be a locus of the community and provide new opportunities for the residents of Delray by offering jobs and interactions with the trucking scene.

Customs Plaza The U.S. Customs Plaza programming was dictated by a GSA distributed document of specific needs. The task was to fit the required spaces into a desired design concept. The design capitalizes on the militarized surveillance which is inherent within a border crossing.

By making this expressed in the form, guards have the ability to see all angles of their check point from the second floor. Commercial vehicles proceed to the ground level check area while privately owned vehicles drive down a level. This stacking of the check point creates a more condensed and secure border.

The trucking center is organized based on time relationships with program of parking vs. amenity. This creates an organized path of flow throughout the often chaotic parking lots. Short term parking offers typical truck stop conveniences while long term parking is adjacent to maintenance and lodging. The road from the highway brings truckers in through the site and into direct relation with the building. Since truck parking lots are so large, the form of the building had to sprawl across the lot area and respond to the pressures of the traffic flows and parking areas, thus resulting in a unique but organized form

Seoul Senior Housing studio 6 Vivian Lee & El Hadi Jazairy Project Currently in Progress

Seoul, South Korea is experiencing an unprecedented change in population where the majority of the population will be over age 65 by 2050. As part of the Vertical Cities Asia 2012 competition, A master plan to accommodate 100,000 people in the Yongsan IBD area was carried out by the studio of 20 people. 7 housing projects were designed to give character to a city for the aging population. Sitting on the South East side, our building is a gateway to a large park development and focuses on mobility as well as multi generational use. The design consists of a series of boxes containing two floors and 10 units.

These boxes stack up above a plinth to create a series of small neighborhoods around a plethora of vertical open space. The design creates interesting views and interactions between the residents living there. While shown as a low rise concept, the design is currently still in development and will be looked at as a flexible structure that can grow if needed.

06 wave wall

wave wall Digital Fabrication Marcel De Lange

The final fabrication project was to design something in the computer and build it at a 1:1 scale.

Structured as a group project, my team and I designed a double curved wall to be built by a waffle strategy composed of X and Y ribs that notch together. The wall was designed for the graduation exhibit, so we used the exhibit space as a guide for our design. The curves lead people around it and into the room while also creating a nice corner condition. The wall moves from 3’ to 8’ tall and is 8’ long and composed of 62 pieces of plywood. Once the design was finalized in Rhino, I wrote a Grasshopper definition which divided a solid object into the slats. Then the pieces were sent to a CNC machine to cut our plywood. After some sanding, the pieces all slid into place and the wall quickly grew into its wave form.

[71]

[72]

wave wall Utilizing the Grasshopper plug-in for Rhino, A definition was written to cut up the solid design object into a custom number or divisions. The Y divisions are then rotated a precise degree so that they are structurally perpendicular to the X divisions. Then, the intersection point between each X and Y rib is calculated. This point serves as a base point for the rectangular notch which is drawn with Grasshopper. Then each piece is labeled and oriented onto a planar surface. The 62 pieces are then automatically nested onto stock sheets of plywood in the most efficient way.
