URBAN ANOMALIES Urban Anomalies, the title of this master’s thesis, relates to three particular building typologies of downtown Houston, Texas: Skybridges, underground tunnels and abovestreet building extensions. Some downtown blocks in Houston are connected by skybridges and gigantic underground tunnels to a three-dimensional pedestrian zone in private ownership and some buildings have been expanded above downtown streets to connect multiple lots. These anomalies form a spatial network of private and public space. The method of this master’s thesis is to extract these three typologies out of the body of Houston, analyze them and apply this system of three-dimensional public space to an architectural and urban design proposal.

THESIS The future development of downtown Houston requires not only to increase privately owned individual space but also commonly used public space. If cities grow vertically, public space may not stick to the street level, but has to unfold itself into a dense spatial network. Collective and individual urban spaces need to be developed simultaneously.

HOUSTON TYPOLOGIES AS RECIPE

LIMITED OPEN SPA CE

Houston developed three systems of linking buildings: the skybridge, the tunnel and the building on multiple lots. All of these four ideas will be applied in the following project to create a spatial interconnection between objects. The skyscraper is the ideal type of building for a city center, offering lots of possibilities in both spatial and functional terms. The parking garage reflects the idea of continuously extending the street three dimensionally. Each level can be seen as an open public space. The answer of how many Americans want to live is traditionally given by the suburbs. The typology of the suburban home that offers privacy but also designs the commonly used space around it, becomes an important model for the following project. Given that, the recipe for the following project falls into place: in addition to the typologies of Houston’s spatial network the skyscraper, the parking garage and the suburban home will be part of the project.

the site The project site in downtown Houston is chosen based on the location. The rectangular grid offers many opportunities to design the same object on several locations. But any site is different depending on its orientation and surroundings. As American grid cities offer prototypical field conditions as Stan Allen explained, the following project will contain three Houston blocks to show the objectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s field qualities.

The site is located in southern downtown, directly at Main Street and Bell Street. These three blocks are empty and no projects are planned at this time. The location is close to the underground tunnel system, the skybridges, the sports and event district and commuter train stops. Facing south allows a lot of sunlight because of the low buildings in this part of downtown.

EVOLVING PUBLIC SPACE Tunnels and skybridges are horizontal connectors. To provide an open commonly used vertical connection between each level a continuous ramp rotates along the towerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s core. The proposed towers are no gated community, but an open urban space from bottom to top. Seven elevators in each tower make the way up or down easy and comfortable. The ramps make all levels accessible for bicycles or scooters alternatively to the elevators.

The ramp becomes an extension of the streets or sidewalks. The core forms the center of each tower. On the one hand, it is a structural element, on the other hand it contains technical and transportation functions. Seven elevators and two emergency staircases allow a comfortable and secure use of the building. Large installation shafts supply the units with energy and water. The core also carries a three meter or 10 feet wide ramp that continuously connects all levels from theRAMP bottomAND to theBRIDGES top. AS

THE FRONTYARD AS EXTENDED PUBLIC SPACE In the concept of American suburbs the privately owned space of the frontyard shapes the commonly owned and used streets. This means that the landlord has the power to influence the shape of the public space as his or her own individualized expression. These open frontyards expand the feeling of wide streets. The lateral design of the street space is an agglomeration of the individual design of all the separate frontyards along a neighborhood street. Different trees, bushes, grass and stone, colors, flags or little pieces of art all separated from each other create the assembled face of the street. The frontyard becomes an extended public space, individually designed and maintained. The standardized house is the zone of privacy but offers limited possibilities to customize it. The fenced backyard becomes the outdoorprivacy area depending on the hight of the fence. Anyhow, the relationship between collective and individual spaces allows to blur the boarders between private and public ownership. The individual person or family becomes the designer of the commonly used zone of the neighborhood.

matter matters The main parameter for this project was the predetermined material - mud. The attributes of mud have many positive impacts on a building, especially in terms of the indoor climate and the environmental foodprint of the building, as it is a totally natural material. Formally speaking, there are some rules mud requires as consequence of its physical characteristics. The most important rule for constructing a mud building is to extrud walls vertical, no angular walls. design principals The formal idea of this project was to create volumes out of a line network. Each of these lines is intersecting with at least two other lines. The rooms and spaces are defined by these lines. what this project is about The main issue of this project is, how people walk through this object, including the building itself and the 200 sqm courtyard. People can walk through the building, follow a threedimensional way, passing by all levels, and leave the building without going any meter twice. By following this path, one will have many different oppurtunities to switch between interior and exterior spaces. The way even should work as a connector between the culture center and the existing environment. People can have a look into the indoor and outdoot eventspace without walking inside the building.

The Urban Design component of the studio initially focused and investigated the major driving forces behind contemporary urbanism. It explored the relationship between New Yo r k C i t y, w h i c h wa s i t s p r i m a r y fo c u s , a n d o t h e r b u i l t u r b a n centers and similar contemporary conditions; comparing the recent theoretical debate on future urbanism, and historical precedents which have been instrumental in the transformation of the post-industrial city. The studio attempted to explore the physical reality of New York’s urban condition and the theoretical abstraction of current academic debate, which s e e m i n g l y h a v e b e e n m u t u a l l y e x c l u s i v e o f e a c h o t h e r. U r b a n Design was viewed as a critical exploration, investigation, and perhaps reassessment of conventional approaches regarding issues of site, program, infrastructure, form, and mass. The studio took advantage of architecture’s concerns for site specificity, spatial experience, logic of construction, eco nomics of organization, morphology and physical form, while also engaging realms of knowledge associated with disciplines such as urban ecology, urban geography, and landsca pe design. The project encouraged working from the „ground u p ,“ ra t h e r t h a n a d o p t i n g a t o p d o w n ” m a s t e r- p l a n n i n g a p p r o ach. In this sense, the project was considered experimental, exploratory, and unconventional relative to the established canons of the traditional urban design studio. The Building Design component of the studio served as an advanced design that would include and go beyond conceptual design, experimentation and formal composition although these remained important and critical issues. The focus of this portion was on the actual making of a building. It studied how to make the REAL in terms of construction, idea, and representation. Each student was expected to bring the project to a level of finish where nothing would be left to imagination. The ultimate success of a building was to be determined at all levels and phases from the development of a concept to understanding of structural and environmental systems, building envelope systems, life-safety provisions, building assemblies, and principles of sustainability. These concerns were seen not only as

the lower eastside The Lower Eastside: one of the oldest neighborhoods in New York City, famous for the cultural, religious and ethnic diversity. The former working-class district has become a popular place to live within the last few years. inspiriation The topic of the Architecture Biennale in Venice 2012 is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Common Groundâ&#x20AC;?. There are many different possibilities to interpret this term, but in case of the Lower Eastside, the common ground as a ground of diversity fits best. the starting point The diversity of difference makes the Lower Eastside to such a special place. To argue from a sociological point of view, the diversity of difference of the various cultural, religious and ethnic groups is most interesting, but to analyze the Lower Eastside from an architectural point of view, the diversity of difference of streets, buildings and water is most interesting. To do urban design in this district architecture has to be the main focus, but parameters like the sociological characteristics are also important. The main content of the following project is a question: how to create common ground which represents this diversity of difference. As a first step, three theories of postmodern urban design constitute three ideas of designing the same place in the Lower Eastside.

Types vs Species

This studio used the program of a house as a tool to study the shift towards a paradigm of Species as opposed to the ubiquitous platform of Types. If Types are traditionally viewed as categories of standardization, and symbolic expressions of form, then Species are malleable entities that are in constant metamorphosis; adaptation and mutation are the main characteristics from Species.

Topic In the context of this course an outlook tower for the city of Stockerau should be developed. The height of the tower was predefined with 25 meters. Analysis Various existing observation towers had been analyzed before the design-process started. The structural and typological elements of three towers in Europe helped to understand what type of construction an observation tower is and to define important parameters for developing a concept. The method of analysis was to three dimensionally redraw existing observation-towersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; structures.is located under the tower like roots. The underground tunnel has two functions: firstly it acts as a sub-construction for the two wooden towers, secondly it should be used to give information to the visitors about Stockerau and the new watch tower.

observation tower competition

Concept The final tower concept provides that the form virtually drills through the earth and juts out on the opposite side of the tower. The visitor must go downstairs for reaching the observation deck. The arising connecting tunnel between the two towers displays a contrast: on one side is the platform overlooking the roofs of the town, light and fresh air, on the other side the walkway which symbolically is located under the tower like roots. The underground tunnel has two functions: firstly it acts as a sub-construction for the two wooden towers, secondly it should be used to give information to the visitors about Stockerau and the new watch tower.

autochthonous structures Topic The title of this course is autochthonous structures. In this design studio IV solutions for a new usage of these historical structures should be developed. The aim is to deal with stock sensible and to create new forms and functions. Autochthonous structures The word “autochthon” derives from the ancient Greek. It is consisting of “auto“ which means “self” and “thon” which is a term for earth. Analogous translations describe autochthonous as „independent“, „native“ or „emerged on the spot “. Limonaia We start with the lemon gardens in Gargnano on Lake Garda, or better known as the Limonaias. Through the centuries the Limonaias have lost their original function due to the economic situation.

Nowadays you can find large lemon planation only in southern regions of Italy. The terraced insertion into the natural terrain is typical for the native structures of lemon groves at the lake. A strict grid of columns functions as a substructure for the establishment of mobile timber walls, which shade the lemons from the harshness of the winter weather. Research Previous to the draft it was intensely searched for autochthonous structures in history as fundamental research. Furthermore autochthonous structures were analysed and four causes were defined to find out why they are emerging.

structural and social netting

Design The structure of the Limonaia is divided into two basic elements, the three levels and a column grid which should be the basis for the draft. The planned buildings raise from the stock and are poured into the measure of the column grid. The new buildings are also emphasized vertical to borrow the vertical structure of the Limonaia for the draft as well. The arising towers have a floor area of 20 square meters. A monopitch roof, which increases towards the lake, forms the vertical ending of the towers. This roof shape can be find in the environment again and again. The shape is ideal for exposure conditions and unfettered lake view.

Function A tourist development concept makes sense, but a conventional concept, such as a hotel or apartments, should not emerge. Rather a new typology should be developed, which results from connection of the stock and the creative consideration. The different functions are taken in the new building and are arranged vertical. A mixture of public, half public and privately utilizable rooms should develop. The functions sleeping and washing are taken in the private units. The functions cooking, dining, and living are taken in common rooms, which should be accessible to all residents. The linkage, that is the skyway, are for all residents of the surrounding public.

structural and social netting On the one hand this means the connection between the stock and the new building. The new building are virtually dashed with the stock and entwine the existing columns. In this way the stock becomes part of the outside and interior concept. The measure of the towers emerge from the column grid of the Limonaia. On the other hand the different towers are connected by bridges, which crisscross through the stock. These connections develop the individual rooms and functions. Consequently a social linkage of private and common rooms are the odds.

urban parasites

URBAN PARASITES design studio III Topic The topic of this design III is urban parasites. The aim is to develop a system for urban densification in the district of Innsbruck in Saggen. The parasites should be constructed above the existing perimeter block development of the early 20th century. Designing new housing above the city is to the fore. Research Yona Friedman wants to usher in the end of a stiff, immovable and effortful architecture by introducing his “feasible utopia” of Ville Spatiale – the spatial town – in the 60s of the 20th century. With his urban vision of mobile architecture he wants to provide the society a frame, in which people can individually create their own little empire. Friedman wants to achieve this with a spatial infrastructure in the form of multi-storied spatial framework bars.

in & out. Every parasite can be pushed into every position of the steel construction - a drawer system.

Design ideas Based on Friedmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urban vision of Ville Spatiale the theories should be converted into design III project. Project mobile.flexible.individual. The system of densification should be mobile, flexible and individual. The parasitical objects beset the existing buildings, but both parasites can be removed and increased. Mobile Every unit can be placed to any arbitrary place, where the only condition is to have a plug-in for energy supply. Flexible The system of densification offers all possibilities, like from addition of a unit to a parasitical tower. The burdens arising are supported by a steel construction, in which the individual units can be pushed in like into a drawer and can be linked. Individual The units have fixed extents. The interior features a sanitary and cooking area, everything else can be created individually by the resident. If a resident wants to move, he has the possibility to change the location or position of his parasite.

Architecture The museum will be defined by four architectural elements: The free running roof carried by a single freestanding pillar in the southwest. The suspended glass skin, combined with the roof, constituting the thermal envelope. The sculptural building inside containing the museum and made of local wood. The sloping landscape surrounding the building. The exhibition rooms inside the sculpture are arranged to give art the status it deserves. The thermal clear envelope of the museum reflects the rational architecture of the environment, but the curvated roof with his freestanding mainstay and the indoor sculptural building transforms the museum into a landmark and architectural symbol of Helsinki.

Cityscape The urban design concept is based on optimum use and artistically shaped routes as well as public spaces. Several routes for pedestrians will be provided between city centre and Olympia Terminal. These footpaths lead along the east side of the Market Hall over a ramp to the museum square where the entrance is located. From the south arriving visitors will be directed to the sculpture deck either via the gate of the Terminal or the sidewalk. On deck there will be a cafe and the entrance to the conference area, underneath there is the delivery area, parking lot for staff as well as the Makasiini terminal. The tram stop will stay in place, on the eastern side are the car parks for taxis and VIPâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s.

sillblock social housing competition

Sillblock Housing Competition Innsbruck social housing The city of Innsbruck mandates semi-public-development companies to develop new social housing units for the citieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community. This proposal for a social housing competition in Innsbruck accommodates 138 housing units.
