As “natural” disasters continue to increase in both frequency and severity due to climate changes induced by the carbon emissions of highly developed nations they are disproportionately affecting low-income communities in developing regions. How can architecture develop postdisaster design methodoliges for socially just, environmentally attuned, and rapidly deployable post-carbon urbanism?

combined 200,000sf of residential, educational, institutional, commercial, and community-based programs. 15 multi-family buildings flow along the western edge of the site, providing homes to 93 displaced families on formerly agricultural land. These buildings are radically thin in section; single-loaded corridors provide access a mix of one, two, and three bedroom units. Every room in these units is the full width of the building, bathed in light from two sides and naturally cross-ventilated by Albania’s mild air. Each unit has a 300sf terrace, open on two sides to the surrounding environment, providing residents with the psycho-social benefits of indoor/outdoor Mediterranean living. The multi-family buildings wiggle and bends in concert with strategically positioned trees to provide an experience of living in the canopy. The ground floor of these multi-family buildings are left open to evolve in a flexible

way as the community grows and self-organizes patterns of social exchange and ritual. These activities will unfold along a horizontal ground plane, a visually continuous pastoral datum navigated by paths linking landscape events such as gardens, plazas, and recreational fields. East of the multi-family strip, an intimate 120-house neighborhood consisting of one, two, and three bedroom homes extends towards the horizon along “green fingers,” linear parks which weave together wild nature, cultivated landscapes, pavilions, kindergartens, and nurseries.

we will also make an urban transformation of the whole area of Fushe-Kruja, including also all social-cultural facilities,” Rama said. “The Development Plan of Fushe-Kruja – Culture Minister Elva Margariti explained – has been designed not only to provide housing, but also generate economic and social development of the area.” “The area lies just one kilometre from the town’s centre and it is closely linked to the centre. It also generates a new development model for the town. This area is located at the intersection of the main national roads near the urban area. A total of 221 families will need individual dwellings, whereas 93 other families will be housed in collective apartment buildings. There is also a need for a kindergarten, a nursery school, a community center and a new healthcare facility,” Minister

Margariti said, emphasizing that the plan also places particular importance also to creation of public spaces, green spaces, sports grounds and underground parking lots. The Head of the Albanian Development Fund, Dritan Agolli noted that the goal is to make sure that construction of all individual dwellings completes within this year. He also informed that the project on the area’s road infrastructure, water supply, sewerage and wastewater network and the power supply has been also prepared for the entire master plan for Fushe-Kruja. “The Fund on Monday announced the framework procedure for the reconstruction of the infrastructure on these areas. If everything goes as planned, we expect to sign the framework agreement by May 15 so that we kick off reconstruction of the infrastructure on June 1,” Agolli said, adding that “procedures

On his part, the State Minister for the Reconstruction Arben Ahmetaj that the process of demolition of the damaged buildings has progressed in Durres, Kruja, Kurbin, Lezha, Kavaja, Rrogozhina and Tirana. “We have now designed a plan for the critical infrastructure of the entire area outside Tirana. The due funding has been allocated to the Albanian Development Fund and the Municipality of Tirana. By end of March we can begin the gradual allocation of grants for the buildings and houses with damages classified in DS1, DS2, or, DS3 categories.

Located in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood, Solstice on the Park is a twenty-six-story residential tower-shaped by the angles of the sun and one of the first Studio Gang projects to explore the idea of solar carving for environmental advantages.

Studio Gang Architects. “Solstice on the Park.” Studiogang. Com, Studio Gang Architects, studiogang.com/project/solsticeon-the-park. Accessed 1 Apr. 2021.

The design cuts into the building’s facade in response to the sun and orients surfaces to the optimum 72-degree angle for Chicago’s latitude, maximizing sunlight in winter for passive solar warming and minimizing light and heat gain during summer to reduce air-conditioning usage. The structure—which includes 250 dwellings and a green roof— also takes advantage of expansive views of Jackson Park to the south and Chicago’s skyline to the north.

A Spa in the Cloud Data Hotels, Hanging Baths, and Thermosocial Exchange

Data centers generate an enormous amount of environmentally-problematic excess heat, while the cloudbased activities they support contribute to social isolation how can architecture recycle data centers’ wasted energy in a way that counteracts the the malaise of our collective screen addiction and offers instead social connection through the ritual of public bathing?

main challenge facing contemporary data centers is energy, both its consumption and its byproduct: excess heat.

This project unfolds out of the possibilities latent within the data center as an emergent contemporary typology undergoing transformation and proliferation on a global scale. As Zoom calls, cryptocurrency mining, artificial intelligence, gaming, virtual reality and other trending data processes gain traction, the powers of computation and the networks which connect them consume increasingly concerning amounts of energy. The

This project captures the enormous amount of heat excess generated by data centers and utilizes it as the basis for developing a thermal spa complex. The somatic experience of bathing counters the virtual experience of cloud-based activities in a hybrid program which intentionally conflates the physical and atmospheric sensations of the spa with the digital and technocratic processes of the data center. The proposal to integrate these programs engages the deep architectural history of the Roman Baths as a cue for discovering how digital exchanges via server farms can be coupled with social exchange via thermal baths as a way to redefine what it means to connect through the cloud.

A Spa in the Cloud: Data Hotels, Hanging Baths, and Thermosocial Exchange

How can data centers minimize the data transfer latency in a way which uses the thermodynamic of latent heat to phasechange water into vapor and transform the malaise of digital isolation into the joy of collective cleansing? Brief In early 2021, our context is equally physical and digital. We transact remote business and engage remote learning via Zoom. We conduct remote social and cultural exchange through the transfer of bits and bytes from our kitchens and couches to the world and back via TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. The immediate ether of the internet connects us to each other in real time even as we remain physically distant from one another due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

While our increasingly immersive access to the internet is tangibly invisible, it has a very real physical manifestation in the built environment. Vast data processing centers sit mute at the edge of our cities to serve our internet habits. With the impending rise of the internet of things, edge computing, and the corollary requirement for minimal latency, these nondescript buildings designed for data transfer and management (rather than human occupation) are migrating toward sites that occupy urban core territory to support our growing dependence upon instantaneous information transfer. This brief outlines the requirements for the design a “lights off” data processing center and landscape that drives a new era of information processing and public leisure in Boston’s Seaport district.

10 Ancient Roman hypcaust heats from underneath 11 New contemporary hypocaust heats from above

While the brief overtly requires a re-design of 20th century industrial and infrastructural site for a new era of industrial use, the designer is also asked to consider the disposition of an architecture that supports a contemporary condition in which the history of human culture is ready for retrieval at any moment, in which our perception of time and place is called into question. What is the disposition of “the cloud” when translated into form and structure? How might we negotiate the effortless and placeless experience of our digital lives with the physical mass and environmental toll required to enable it? What does it mean to feel and see the internet in architectural terms? Boston’s Seaport is a marine industrial district and designated port area that is undergoing significant re-development. Existing infrastructure easily breeds new infrastructure in the Seaport, where robust lines of access and service are already

in place; shipping docks, trucking lines, power substations, and subsurface ventilation define and meter the landscape. The downtown-proximate Seaport is also a rapidly urbanizing district sitting on valuable but vulnerable property fronting the Boston Harbor. New uses include luxury residential, retail, office space, and cultural program. Much of the waterfront development is already at risk of flooding during storm events and the site is increasingly vulnerable to storm surges and the effects of sea level rise. Dry Dock No. 4, a decommissioned US Naval repair site for ships, and the site of this brief, is situated within this context. The site is an infrastructural relic, completed during the late years of World War II, now languishing in this semi-industrial infrastructural landscape on a piece of high-potential public

waterfront. Dry Dock No. 4 fronts the Boston Harbor main channel to the north and west, a public performance pavilion to the south, and seafood processing, tunnel ventilation, and an electrical substation to the east. On this site, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is tasked with protecting both the public’s interest in its waterways and existing water-dependent industries. Future design on the dry dock site must maintain the industrial and infrastructural character of the designated port area and also promote public use along the water’s edge. This brief imagines a future in which Bostonians may pursue public leisure in parallel with the machine functions that enable it. The re-imagination of Dry Dock No. 4 may be conceived as a single or multiple buildings, a series of human and non-human

rooms, or a data landscape. The site will always be “on” in service of the 24-hour space of the internet. Externalities such as sea level rise and technological obsolescence may also factor into the design. As technological capacity surpasses our need to physically host data as we think of it now, the site – already a ruin from a previous industrial era – may face status as a new infrastructural relic in less than a decade. Program: The following programmatic requirements must be met in order to maximize public use of the waterfront and to ensure that processing capacity and efficiency is adequately provided. Machine space: dry, continuously cooled, private The physical consequences of binging Netflix on the weekend are real and

quantifiable in terms of energy loads and heat dissipation. While sources such as Gartner Research and Wikipedia offer background on data centers and server rooms, for general reference, designers are encouraged to think expansively about the thermal and structural design of this program, which is essentially a dense grouping of data servers, racks to hold them, power to serve them, and fiber to connect them. The following are specific criteria for the Dry Dock No. 4 center.

to optimize energy efficiency may be utilized but a dry server environment must be maintained. Server scale, density, location, and arrangement will be driven by the conceptual design of the thermal strategy (see chart at right for reference).

Lights-out data center populated with 48,000 cubic feet of server racks, operated remotely and without lighting to minimize energy loads and eliminate human staffing; space for occasional human maintenance access to the servers must be provided.

Human space type I: dry + wet, interior, private: While the processing levels are self-sufficient and remotely managed, a small amount of human space is provided within the processing center for operational and communicationrelated functions.

Raised floors or plenums between server levels circulate air and host wire-based connectivity; floor-to-floor heights are optimized for energy efficiency and processing capacity

How can architecture offer prototypes for rapidly deployable, post-carbon forms of educational buildings as tools toys for learning? This project offers prototypes for rapidly deployable, post-carbon forms of educational buildings as toys for learning. Architecture as play invites children outside into al fresco classrooms, where the cognitive impacts of screen-learning and limited social exchange are offset by engagement with a flexible, reconfigurable tectonic spaces. Children are invited to participate in the becoming of the classrooms, to use their hands, eyes, and ideas to take physical and intellectual ownership of the space through individual and group work. Given the wide variety of urban fabrics that exist within the Boston Public School District boundary, a prototype was developed which could be deployed across low, medium, and high density contexts. An analysis of all BPS schools which teach K-6 was conducted, and three sites

were chosen as testing grounds for their archetypal nature: small, medium, and large buildable areas corresponding to urban, semiurban, and suburban neighborhoods. The structural system of the prototype consists of four perimeter vierendeel trusses supporting long-span glulam beams and cross-laminated timber panels. The CLT panels establish a 12’ x 12’ module within the project both in plan and section, this allows for a maximum flexibility of infill materials which are 4’ x 8’, a ubiquitous dimension within the construction industry. Each prototype is designed for 20 students and 1 teacher. The unit provides a bathroom (top right in plan), space for an elevator and services distribution (top left in plan), a mobile teaching tech wall (bottom center plan), three mobile storage / partition furniture units, three small group break out / specialized learning zones, and is universally accessible. All furniture, including student desks, are mobile on wheels.

Furthermore, the enclosure of the prototype is itself flexible. The lower portions of the walls are broken down into manageable 4’x 4’ modules which can be mix and matched per the desires of the students: opaque panels for painting on, colored plastic for color play, and cork panels for pinning up. For the lowest density site, three learning units for classroom-based activities and one multi-purpose unit for meals and assemblies are arranged within a nine-square grid. Each prototype receives a dedicated outdoors space which offers planter boxes, trees, sand boxes, water basins, and space for running and play. The central courtyard is conceptualized as the community collective outdoor space, whereas the outdoor space dedicated to the multipurpose prototype becomes an entry court with safe but visually connected access to the street for drop-off and pick-up. In all cases, the proposals are adjacent to existing school to take

advantage of the MEP utilities and pedagogical resources already available. The prototypes are shown in with four different furniture configurations to support lecture-style learning, small group learning (clusters of four), large group learning (20 students in a circle), and meal time. All configurations adhere to the Covidrelated spacing requirements of 6’0” between students during all activities. For future-use, it is expected that classroom will again densify to their normal levels, in which case the capacity of the prototypes would double from 20 to 40. In this case, exposed glulam beams and modular building components would permit for easy retrofitting and more permanent space division. Furthermore, the structure is designed to easily accept more services through the core and waterproofing and insulation for long-term investments.

At higher density sites, where land is scarce and student populations dense, the prototype can be stacked vertically due to the inherent structural capacities of the vierendeel truss. Each prototype is hoisted above its corresponding outdoor space and connects down to it via a large stair-as-theater built out of redstained CLT panels. Ramps and elevators ensure accessibility, and two means of egress are maintained in case of emergency. Nets and railings provide safety and visual transparency, while curtain tracks surround the perimeter of each level to block wind and contain heat. Services are distributed vertically through the two vertical cores and branch horizontally per level as required. Future MEP services intended to be left exposed against CLT finishes. Due to issues related to daylight and projector beam strength, large high-lux LCD screens can be fastened to mobile

teaching walls for instruction purposes. The cores are pushed to the north to permit maximum daylight for students and plants from the east, south, and west throughout the day. As an exercise in post-carbon design, this project seeks to demonstrate the constructability, beauty, and flexibility of wood as a renewable building material. As a porous material, it absorbs sound and dampers the fluctation of humidity, yet the strength of its fibers permit spans competitive to steel. Brief Outdoor Classrooms The last radical reconsideration of the traditional school building typology happened during a global health crisis similar to today’s:

the tuberculosis epidemic of the early twentieth century. Forest schools and open-air schools were built predominantly in rural areas, on the belief that sunshine, fresh air, and access to nature were important to prevent and cure disease. Even in cities like Boston, children learned in the open air, wrapped in blankets in the middle of winter. These health-driven ideas evolved into progressive pedagogies of environment-based learning, informing the design of innovative physical environments to promote movement, exploration and individuality. However, these models are more common in niche private schools, or in European social democracies that provide access to high quality early childhood education for all. Elsewhere, students spend most of their time sitting in traditional lecture classrooms—sealed and mechanized interior environments, often with no daylight, let alone ventilation—and with less time for

recess. Over a hundred years later, the 2020 COVID pandemic brought this problem back into sharp focus. Children had to transition to remote learning because low-density requirements and poor ventilation in old school buildings makes it challenging and unsafe to bring all children back into the classroom. In the fragmented capitalist system of public education funding in the United States, these spatial challenges intersect with other pressing issues of social, racial, and environmental justice, which are augmented and will likely worsen during and long after the pandemic. Poverty, stress, environmental pollution, food scarcity, racism, and climate change threaten the youngest, oldest, and most physically and socially-vulnerable populations.

“Center for Innovation and the Arts.” Spelman College, 13 Dec 2018, https://www.spelman.edu/ about-us/office-of-the-president/strategic-planning/center-forinnovation-the-arts. Press Release. Many of today’s careers require an interdisciplinary approach. The mode of collaboration, popularly known as STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math), is the underlying principle for the design of the new Center for Innovation & the Arts. Spelman’s demonstrated strength in STEM, coupled with its extraordinary assets in the arts visual arts, art history, curatorial studies, photography, documentary filmmaking, dance, theater,

music, an innovation lab and the Spelman College Museum of Fine Art positions the College for STEAM, an initiative that encourages innovation, risk-taking, invention and collaborative interdisciplinary work. “Spelman is investing in the integration of art and technology as the rapid convergence of art, technology, entrepreneurship, the liberal arts and science is yielding new solutions to old challenges,” said Mary Schmidt Campbell, Ph.D., president of Spelman. “The new facility will be a dynamic state-of-the-art learning environment that encourages not only disciplinary mastery in the arts, but provides curricular opportunities for innovative solutions to persistent urban problems. The design of the Center is a catalyst for interdisciplinary interaction. A Forum invites participation from multiple disciplines across campus

and a Hive, or network of connected spaces, encourages interdisciplinary experimentation, collaboration, active play and research.”

The new center will be the home for Spelman’s Innovation Lab; house all of Spelman’s arts disciplines; and provide a “front porch” for the community. The facility will cluster together, for the first time in one building, Spelman’s numerous arts departments now scattered across the campus into a vibrant community of innovators, collaborators, artists, musicians and scientists.

The Plan for the Center • Challenges Spelman students to use technology-inspired solutions for urban problems • Forges ties between the arts, liberal arts and technology • Creates an entrepreneurship incubator for high performing students • Establishes high-level partnerships with innovation partners in academia and industry • Creates a front porch linking Spelman to its Westside community

With the gift from Ronda Stryker and William Johnston, the College has raised more than one-third of the total cost of the Center, which received it’s first gift from Leonard and Louise Riggio in 2016. The cost of the new facility, which includes an operating endowment and state of the art technology, is $86 million.

A Welcoming Front Porch The Porch contains community-facing spaces such as a second gallery for the College’s Museum of Fine Art, a dance performance studio, a high-tech digital black box theatre and a small café/retail outlet that faces a public plaza.

“Spelman College Receives $30 Million Gift From Trustee Ronda Stryker and Spouse, William Johnston, to Support New Center for Innovation & the Arts.”

Forum The interactive Forum houses the interdisciplinary Innovation Lab, a collection of maker spaces, several digital media and gaming labs, and a multi-purpose classroom/event space. The Hive On the upper two levels is The Hive, a double-height atrium envisioned as a multi-zoned area to enhance learning, teaching, practice and rehearsal, performance and the exchange of ideas across disciplines.

study abroad than any other baccalaureate college in the country with 75 percent of its 2018 graduating class having studied abroad. Support from the Stryker family has benefitted numerous other Spelman initiatives, including the Spelman College Museum of Fine Art, science initiatives, summer internships, the Annual Fund, the President’s Safety Net Fund, and renovations to Sisters Chapel and the Wellness Center at Read Hall.

“With this historic gift, yet again, Ronda’s support will be transformational. Her contribution ensures that Spelman students will be prepared to tackle the challenges of our changing world through innovation, creativity and the dynamic intersection of science, technology, engineering, arts and math (also known as STEAM).”

“Ronda Stryker has been staunchly committed to the mission and ideals of Spelman College for more than 20 years. She has been an unstinting advocate for our students and has supported a wide range of strategic initiatives, critical to Spelman’s long term sustainability and the success of our students,” said Mary Schmidt Campbell, Ph.D., president of Spelman.

Including the generous gift from Stryker and Johnston, the College has raised more than one-third of the total cost of the CI&A, which received its first support from Leonard and Louise Riggio in 2016. The cost of the new facility, which includes an operating endowment and state of the art technology, is $86 million.

The Center for Innovation & the Arts The CI&A enables the College to bring together in one building its considerable strength in STEM with its award-winning programs in the arts. The hub of the building will be the Innovation Lab, co-directed by Brown-Simmons Professor of Computer Science Jerry Volcy, Ph.D., and Associate Professor De Angela Duff, MFA, whose work sits at the intersection of art, design, and technology, in consultation with Senior Adviser Topper Carew, Ph.D., a visiting scholar at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab. For the first time in the College’s history, the same building will house all of Spelman’s arts programs – art, art history, curatorial studies, dance, digital media, documentary filmmaking, photography, music and theater.

A major feature of the building will be its “Front Porch,” an element of the design that opens up the entrance of the CI&A to the Westside community and offers a set of ground floor amenities. They include an expansion of the award-winning Spelman College Museum of Fine Art, a digital theater housing publicly accessible performances, technology events, film screenings and a cafe. A schematic of the CI&A demonstrates the innovation and intentionality behind creating a unique interdisciplinary environment. The facility will offer different scales of gathering and assorted modes of connecting and collaborating for learning and risk taking in the liberal arts.

Collaborators

How can we develop post-disaster urbanism through punctual interventions on a dense, ancient, topographic urban fabric? This project is split into an upper site and a lower site, connected by revitalized mountain stream. The flowing linear architecture of the upper site sits upon and slips into the city’s topographic definitions, while the lower, flatter site follows the semi-fragmentary logic of archipelagos within a river delta.

Curating Perspective A Museum of Architecture

This project hinges on the notion that architecture is, above all else, a way of seeing. It is the artifice which we construct to make sense of the world, to establish order from chaos. A museum of architecture, therefore, becomes a museum of the various ways we see the world. It is not concerned with its appearance in the city, so much is it interested to curate a perspective on the city which is meaningful, to use its parts to frame an experience of Copley Square, Boston, which leads its visitors a heightened sense of meditative awareness of the built environment. The question of what is “on display”, whether it is the exhibits, the city, or the building itself, is ambiguous (indeed, it seems intentionally so). The real question at hand is: how are the forces of the program (internal), and the city (external), negotiated and woven together on the given site? The position of the plot, combined with

the size of the program, generate an urban infill typology which applies disproportionate pressure on the facade to communicate the museums intent. A datum is established upon which the interplay of external forces and internal forces will occur. This datum is separated from the city, yet defined by it. It communicates an architecture which is engaged but autonomous. Four elements are identified as points of interest which will anchor the experience of moving through the museum: 1/2/3/4. The apertures are positioned and transformed on the datum to create maximum compositional dynamism not of the facade itself, but within the pictorial frame of its apertures, from inside / out. The window which frames the Hancock Tower as the tallest subject is positioned the longest on the facade, the Boston Public Library, which is the westernmost subject, is positioned easternmost. The

desired cut come is a sort of intersection of perspective, each which incorporates as many same or similar elements between views as possible, to demonstrate that perspective is everything. The square, for example, may appear active and vivid as the middle ground of the lowest picture window, but quiet and abstract from 100’ above. Once the form principle apertures are established, the program unfolds around and weaves into projective geometry. that is, a gaze is established looking inside / out, but only in service of instrumentalism. The projective geometry from the outside in. 1) identify target 2) establish projection plane 3) locate point of perspective 4) calculate perspective geometry

5) extend projective geometry back onto the site, to establish lines of reference for organizing program. 6) link moments to create a fluid, collaged experience. Establish a path of travel which navigates the exhibits and frames in a continuous way, both horizontally and vertically. 7) separate program into free / open zones and controlled / contained zones, the former benefiting from the dynamism of natural daylight, diffused / live acoustics. The latter from intimacy controlled lighting, and acoustic strategies, light sound and movement reflect naturally and free, without much technical manipulation vs light and sound with restrictions in the environment.

1,3,5 Isometric zooms

This project hinges on the notion that any effective densification of Telegraph Hill’s residential fabric requires study at the scale of the block. Poor access to light and air are the typically the result of capitalistic development which typically maximizes lot capacity at the expense of neighbors. The myopic focus on the individual lot is rejected in favor of an approach which prioritizes the connections between lots, houses, and the people within them. The goal is an enhanced social fabric which brings people into contact with one another to develop relationships and support networks. The methodology dissolves the fences separating lots and connects neighbors with a communal living neighborhood. The internal portion of the block is all residential, the units are linked via a ground level ring path which loops between existing

buildings and new buildings. Commercial program is located above the existing buildings. All new buildings, both in the garden and above the existing buildings, are distributed in a checker board pattern. The spaces in between them are utilized as green space (pleasure gardens, playgrounds, vegetable gardens, etc) which carry light and air through the neighborhood. Typologies are sculpted using a sky exposure envelope generated using an angle of 52 degrees, this provides 20 foot-candles to all of the units 85% of the year (9am 5pm). The commercial typologies above the existing buildings are linked with a landscaped circulation loop.

Email to Client, April, 17, 2020

Regarding the cost estimate of the Varosh Kindergarten, please see attached updated BoQ. See below a brief summary:

(also mentioned in my 4/15 email to the thread): -Reduced steel structure (simplified overall system, reduced truss work) -Reduced foundation system and sitework (carefully reviewed the topographic conditions with our engineers to optimize values) -Eliminated green roof construction, replaced with wood decking (L2 elevated garden for the children remains, however, as it is crucial to the program functionality). -Reduced glass by 30%, replaced with terracotta cladding -Eliminated aluminum shading louvers, replaced with wooden shading louvers

1. We managed to reduce the cost substantially to 108.6M Leke ( € 870K). The measures taken to reduce the cost are as follows

2.The submitted proposal is 1,067 sq m, therefore the cost comes out to €814 / sq m, or 1.94X the target of €420 / sq m.

Hi xxxxxxx, et al., Hope all is well is Tirana -cold and rainy Rotterdam is finally starting to see some spring warmth and sun. Our parks are filling up and becoming spatial proximity diagrams (I expect they will be shut down soon). Missing my days in Albania earlier this year, of unrestricted travel and espresso bar meetings.

Below are the reasons for the premium (also mentioned in my 4/15 email to the thread): -Slope: building on a 25%-40% slope will always come with a cost premium -Neighboring buildings: the site is surrounded by neighboring buildings, requiring specialized excavation/shoring measures and additional foundation reinforcement -Access: mountain roads to site are narrow and steep, with tight switchback turning radius dimensions. This increases construction cost and complexity. -Type: Kindergartens and nurseries are more expensive than schools for older children. Their special needs as young children require more specialized and costly program components -Modular/Prefab: In order to meet the goal of having the school built for Fall 2020, we were advised to utilize prefab/modular

technology. We agree this is the correct approach, however it is more expensive than typical local building techniques.

Cultivating Home Redefining the Triple Decker for the Sharing Economy

Year: 2019 Status: Competition, Finalist Type: Multi-family residential

2 Isometric concept sequence: triple decker type > wrap type on site > shift levels to create many little terraces > shape garden ramp > add green house crown

With contemporary technology, life has sped up tremendously. Current generations move around nomadically, rushing from place to place, chasing the future and overlooking the present. Can it be that the loneliness epidemic as well as the systemic increased longing for a quieter mind, are a result of this lifestyle? This project encourages a sense of grounding, and a focal shift towards humans’ natural foundations. Key in the design is the repositioning of food -one of the most elementary needs of human life -at the heart of residential architecture. Neighborhood residents are encouraged to slow down and appreciate the growing, preparing and sharing of food.

What was an empty alley, now invites the people from the Main Street onto a sloping public vegetable garden. In winter, vegetables can continue to grow indoors in the cantilevering glass crown of the tower. Descending the tower one arrives in the community’s dining room, where a long table welcomes the preparing and sharing of food. Residents of the building share the dining room, and have their private spaces on the first and third floor. Bay windows are incorporated in the facade to pay tribute to the surrounding triple-decker houses and to integrate the building in the neighborhood.

This project appropriates the sections of six canonical buildings as the generative framework for interrogating an idea of Ground. Within the context of a 90’ x 160’ site defined only by a series of contours and nothing else, the concept of analyzing architectural masterpieces is problematized by the realization that each of these works were conceived as configurations highly attenuated by the specificity of their site. Without the benefit of defining features (urban, rural, dry, wet, introverted, extroverted), the idea of Site is abstracted into the more generic condition of Ground as a lens for understanding how each of these architects positioned their buildings with relationship to the earth, the horizon, and the sky .These are the ubiquitous elements within which Le Corbusier, Koolhaas, Loos, Mies, Johnson, and the Eames tease out the tensions between

technology and nature. The analytical tool of the section reveals the architects’ attitude towards horizon as a measure of the distance between the elevation of the main level of inhabitation and the ground. Each has a unique sense of buoyancy in how the figure of the building is situated between earth and sky. Mies, for example, elevates his slab to eliminate the pictorial foreground of his riparian site to emphasize the middle ground of the river and the background of the horizon as the primary visual elements which describe the experience of the house. Johnson, on the other hand, embeds his slab into the earth, allowing the eye to trace the continuity between the interior brick floor, the grassy lawn, and the soft undulation of the hilly

horizon beyond. Le Corbusier, Koolhaas, and Loos each use the terrace as a means of creating an artificial ground plane which regulates the internal landscape of the house with the external landscape of the site. Through a process diagramming, abstraction, and synthesis, this projects takes as its own the particularities of each six projects’ treatment of ground, hinging them forward into a sequence of floors, ceilings, walls, and roofs which hypothesize appropriation as a tool for discovering unexpected meaning.

The Sphere, The Cube, The Arch: Intersecting Form and Program Towards a New Library Typology Beyond the myriad symbolic possibilities of the sphere (platonic perfection, universality, the divine) this project utilizes the sphere’s immanent potential for projective geometry to link with a concept of shaping the social spaces of the contemporary library. The sphere is intersected with the horizontal and vertical planes of the cube to answer the question: at a time when access to knowledge no longer requires the physical resources of the library, why do people come? To share knowledge? Not primarily, given that the main programmatic component of the library, the reading room, discourages verbal communication. To access knowledge? Previously this was true, however with the proliferation of personal devices available to access the exponentially ever-expanding exabytes of online information,

people can perform research from the comfort of home. This project takes the position that the purpose of the contemporary library is to inspire people to learn. And the best mechanism for inspiring people is… other people. The architectural problem is thus: how can we shape spaces of togetherness where people can come to be surrounded by others that share the intention of accessing knowledge. How can we as designers provide environments for different modes shared intentions to unfold? Are there typological elements of the library that promote not the access to knowledge but rather the shared intention of accessing knowledge which binds together knowledge communities (cities, towns, elementary schools, universities, museums, etc.).

Negotiating Nature & Culture: A Programmatic Gradient The Emerald Necklace is pulled across the Fenway to envelope the north portion of building. Additional cross-walk connections and winding paths are provided to encourage a continuity of greenery and activity. The reading rooms and the auditorium are oriented towards this reflective asset, while parking is placed underground. The cube thus floats between Nature to the north (the Necklace) and Culture to the S/SE (the MFA). This creates a diagonal nature / culture gradient within the building which is used to situate interior activity. Programs which are more active and social spaces are positioned towards the museum, while more reflective spaces are oriented towards the Necklace. Pei’s entry plaza is extended to create a new southern-facing urban plaza where students and visitors can access both buildings.

Vertical Intersections: Projecting Formal Types The sphere, when intersected with horizontal and vertical planes, is an entity capable of producing forms which are familiar to the history of the library, i.e. part of its typological heritage. When intersected with the vertical plane, the sphere produces a circle. The top half of this circle is the arch -a formal and structural element historically used in libraries to achieve masonry long-spans. The bottom half of the sphere becomes a shallow seating bowl (i.e. arena) which allows people watching people watching people.

The Culture of Liberated Congestion A Manual for the Proliferation of Land Value

Course: Neokoolhisms, Harvard GSD Instructor: Ciro Najle

1 Physical Models, Degrees 01-09

In a field of discrete territories—described by Koolhaas in Delirious New York as “archipelagos”—the block performs as a pre-figured constraint. Coordinated with the grid and the plot, it absorbs and directs vertically the economic expansion of the metropolis. At what point does congestion surmount these coded definitions? How does architecture perform when the carrying capacities of the grid, the block, and the plot are exceeded? In this project, we propose that liberation from the territorial limitations of the site can be achieved through the compounding of congestion. Instrumentalizing high-rise housing as the typological platform of our research, we observe its modalities and sub-modalities as patterns for generating a new productive principle.

The Culture of Liberated Congestion

10 The impulse to expand leads to the replication of the Earth. 14 Multiplying entities compound horizontally across the Field. 18 In the absence of Space, Congestion becomes temporal, sites building atop themselves in progressive equilibrium. 22 Carving the Bulk of the tower providing Common benefit while displacing bulk further upward.

11 Forces of real estate procurement transform the duplication of the Earth into the replication of the Plot. 15 Restrictions against the natural tendency toward replication prefigure the final Form of the city. 19 Ceding Horizontal territory in the progression toward Vertical equilibrium, the field itself fractures. 23 Expansion beyond the building footprint through the transference of Development Rights.

12 Replication of the Plot provides multiple stages of indeterminate Occupation. 16 Restrictions on territory displace Congestion. 20 Setbacks enabling the displacement of the Plot’s pastoral roots: a private Arcadian Carpet. 24 Folding of uses into an expanding envelope.

13 Multiple Occupations congeal into a vertical involution of the city into its own Entity. 17 Territorial limitations compress Congestion further upward. 20 Narrowing of the Bulk to provide Prospect over sublime context.

Fifteen high-rise housing concepts and corresponding case studies are selected for their distinctive modes of “reproducing the world.” Raw plots are expanded, limited, and optimized; architectural manipulation mitigates the loss of profit implicit in zoning codes and envelope restrictions. Planimetric and sectional analyses of this phenomenon are used as tools for reverse engineering the case studies into datas, from which useful quantitative relationships are extracted, charted, and figured forth into a set of fifteen generic models.

Reducing architecture to the mathematical figuration of a chart, and thereby eradicating the noise of style and design, reveals a logic of amplitudes, inflections, and frequency--a collection of fifteen typological samples, each containing unique singularities. Conceptualized as a kit of parts, the samples are strategically concatenated, linked through operative value relationships into a systemic cadavre exquis. Floor Area Ratio, plot size, and plot coverage are defined as parameters for expanding, contracting, and transforming a project that seeks to deposit its aggregate intelligence into the remaining plots left in the super-dense metropolis.

Returning to New York, the project identifies a range of throughblock plots as stages for proliferating high-rise housing clusters. Instantiating this new logic upon nine prototypical Manhattan plots of incrementally increasing size, new high-rise housing proposals are produced. As the plot expands so to does the regime of complexity contained in the architectural body,producing within itself new and unexpected potentials for re-thinking the nature of ground, the housing it produces, and the resulting relationships between private (interior) and public (exterior) zones.

Within the discourse of housing design, the project suspends repetition, modularity, and sameness as features of a typological status quo that limit the scope of housing’s theoretical ground and anchor possibilities to outmoded forms of Modernist production. Leaving behind de facto standards liberates the architect from the impulse to save the city one unit at a time, and calibrates our role within the urban environment to a more expansive context that exceeds architecture as a technocratic endeavor and leverages our capacity to practice critically. As problems surrounding housing design continue to conflate into conventional solutions--marginalizing the role of the architect into an iterative producer--the moment is appropriate to construct new grounds for the discussing the typology; to liberate the congestion surrounding the discourse into a culture of new productive principles.

Studio Gang. “Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation at the American Museum of Natural History.” Studio Gang, studiogang.com/project/gilder-center. The latest addition to New York’s historic American Museum of Natural History, the Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation will embody the Museum’s integrated mission of science education and exhibition. At a time of urgent need for better public understanding of science and greater access to science education, the Gilder Center will offer new ways to learn about our world and share in the excitement of scientific discovery. The design for the Gilder Center reclaims the physical heart

of the museum and completes connections between existing galleries that were originally envisioned in the museum’s campus master plan. Visitor circulation is enhanced to better accommodate the museum’s rising annual attendance, which over the past several decades has grown from approximately 3 to 5 million. Informed by processes found in nature, the Central Exhibition Hall, which will serve as the Museum’s new Columbus Avenue entrance, will form a continuous, flowing spatial experience along an east-west axis. The design will encourage visitors to move beneath and across connective bridges and along sculpted walls with openings that reveal the Museum’s many programs.

Niche spaces tucked within this central space will house exhibition elements designed by Ralph Appelbaum Associates and exciting new learning spaces, while also revealing more of the Museum’s extensive scientific collections. The public will be able to engage with innovative tools used by scientists to gain a deeper understanding of our world and how science is conducted today. The building’s caverns, bridges, and arching walls will be formed using an industrial application of concrete that showcases its liquid properties. This technique, primarily used for infrastructure, creates a continuous interior without material seams or joints that becomes structural as it cures. The interior of this exciting space will demonstrate the structural principles subject to gravity without the traditional waste of formwork

Creating approximately thirty connections among ten different buildings, the Gilder Center will include the five-story Collections Core, housing millions of specimens and artifacts from the Museum’s collection; the Insectarium, the first Museum gallery specifically dedicated to insects in more than 50 years; the Butterfly Vivarium, a year-round exhibit that doubles the space of the existing seasonal butterfly conservatory; and the Invisible Worlds Immersive Theater, showcasing cutting-edge scientific technologies. “We uncovered a way to vastly improve visitor circulation and museum functionality, while tapping into the desire for exploration and discovery that is so emblematic of science and also such a big part of being human.

Text by Studio Gang Architects Located in a sprawling redwood forest in northern California, Kresge College has been a bold experiment in studentdriven education since 1971. Its original “hill town” campus by Charles Moore and William Turnbull created a bright, playful village within the forest, anchored by a winding pedestrian street, where students could test out new ways for living and learning in community. Today, as the College approaches fifty, Studio Gang’s renewal project aims to reinvigorate the Kresge campus as a vital, experimental environment for education—still independent-minded and free-spirited, but no longer so isolated and inward-facing. Today, as the College approaches fifty, Studio Gang’s renewal

project aims to reinvigorate the Kresge campus as a vital, experimental environment for education—still independentminded and free-spirited, but no longer so isolated and inwardfacing. Through a combination of renovation (12 buildings) and new construction (4 buildings) that builds on a master plan, the project restores the integrity and community spirit of the original design while simultaneously opening it up to embrace students of all abilities, the incredible natural ecology of its site, and the larger university community beyond. At the campus scale, the project extends the original pedestrian street into a loop path. This includes incorporating accessible pathways and, at specific moments, turning the inward-facing street outward to connect with the surrounding forest and other portions of the university. Most of the original buildings and

smaller structures like the well-loved Mayor’s Stand are left intact, but are renovated and updated to improve their durability and environmental performance. The project’s four new buildings do not replicate Moore and Turnbull’s architecture, but rather engage it in a dialogue that complements its rectilinear, angular language with a more organic one of curvature and porosity. All of the new buildings are sited and designed to minimize the removal of redwood trees by bending around important groves and nestling into the topography. At the north end of campus, a new academic building with lecture halls, classrooms, and workspaces negotiates its steep site by simultaneously stepping down the slope and flaring out—bringing fresh air, natural light, and views of the forested ravine into the interior. At the campus’ west side, a set of three new residential buildings accommodates Kresge’s

growing student population. Bending and opening toward the forest, they preserve a scale of community similar to the original residence halls. Aligning Kresge’s built structures to work with nature to reduce carbon footprint is a key component of the renewal project. The redwood canopy, for example, provides shade that reduces cooling loads, and abundant operable windows take advantage of the mild climate to further passive cooling and bring in natural ventilation. To minimize water demand, the design rehabilitates and expands Kresge’s historic runnel system, allowing circulation pathways to work with the site’s topography and ecology to direct, capture, and filter stormwater for reuse. The renewal project’s subtle changes to the original campus buildings, when combined with the newly-designed facilities

and amenities, together add up to a significant improvement in environmental performance—as well as a greater appreciation for the original architecture and bold forays into the College’s current and future resilience. Responding to the desire for sunshine in the heavily shaded campus, the renewal project creates several universally accessible plazas open to the sun. With a gently curving form that accentuates natural light, the new academic building welcomes everyone from a newly-accessible campus bridge that forms the main pedestrian conduit with the east campus. With the College’s strong spirit of participatory democracy, gathering input from students was critical to creating a renewed campus. The process recalls that of Moore and Turnbull, who were early proponents of community participation in design.

A diverse combination of uses and services make the tower a powerful economic engine and lively gathering place. Its transparent base serves as an inviting front door for its many offerings, which include fifty floors of work space, a spectacular observatory with indoor garden, restaurants with terraces, a hotel, cafés, a co-working hub, retail, a gym, and conference center.

A new, faceted facade gives the Tower a shimmering silhouette that marks its presence in the Parisian landscape from wherever it’s seen. Like the historic Haussmann-era buildings of the quartier Montparnasse, each level of the Tower adopts a human scale, while at the scale of the city, the building inscribes itself with a generous monumentality. The design’s intrinsic beauty goes beyond its exterior

The tower’s redesigned plaza works with the base to blur the boundaries between inside and outside, offering a muchimproved experience and new amenities. Its topographic section with cascading gardens brings light and greenery to the building and its surroundings while maintaining an urban flexibility that

The Flimsy and the Fortified Emergy, Aesthetics, and Chinese Urbanization

Course: Thermodynamic Materialism Applied to Dense Urban Conglomerates, Harvard GSD Instructor: Inaki Abalos Collaborators: NA

1 Rendering, civic porch

This work attempts to integrate the thermodynamic project with the broad theoretical implications of building cities in China. It is built upon an idea about the Flimsy and the Fortified as two ubiquitous and predominant material organization/assembly types in Chinese urbanizing protocols. As distinct conditions, they are conceptualized as independent but interconnected types which dominate the existing Chinese landscape. Neither formal types nor functional types, the flimsy and the fortified are recognized as ubiquitous patterns of material organization in China which tend on the one hand toward the light, the artificial, the mass manufactured, the insubstantial, the inexpensive, the temporary, the porous, the flimsy -and on the other hand towards the heavy, the over-structured, the megalithic, the massive, the elephantine, the solid, the fortified.

The project presents an architecture which judicially revises Chinese urbanization ideologies from within, through new logics of energy-driven spatial subdivisions – as a sort of camouflaged radicality, the project wishes to blend without friction into and out of mega-plot development and its associated modular exuberance. These new logics are executed through thermodynamically driven operative sequences -explicit design protocols which are able to reconcile the form of the building with the form of the city (perhaps the ultimate problem of Modernity) on the unstable but voracious ground of the Chinese economy.

The conglomerate, equally an operation and an object, has the capacity for ambiguity necessary to integrate these various concepts. The formal articulation of the project is the result of a sequence of geographic discretization, typological taxonimization, primitive transformation and performancedriven iteration which drive always the overall ability of the system to essentially do one thing: put heat to work. Sectional complexification of the ground plane and the planimetric compression/deformation of thermodynamic primitives characterize the work. Feedbacks are woven into the system: towers cool courtyards; large thermal masses reciprocate with shady, shallow pools; fresh air from vegetated arteries pull through buoyant urban alleys to promote cross-ventilation.

The material which was produced in this investigation is the record of a dialectic process, which oscillated between the making of a manifesto -ambitious, speculative, not tame, intentionally detached -and the establishment of explicit design protocols -restricted, operative, precise, pedantic. Each an established and effective methodology in their own right, the two integrated together create contradictions which are productive but also difficult. Oriented around the problem of the new urban conglomerate in China, a Central Business District is proposed with and from a mutant aesthetics which simultaneously seeks to coordinate itself with predominant cycles of Chinese production, while purporting a new energy-driven materialism which underscores architecture as an intersection of matter and energy. Form is articulated to maintain a commitment to calibrated porosities and the optimization of potential energy

Zero-carbon sustainability is challenged for its myopic propensity to reject the proliferation of energy and matter (its consumption and production) as processes of industrialization at odds with ecology. In contrast, the processes of Chinese urbanization is embraced and celebrated for its voracity, health, and rudeness. Technology’s historical drive to control nature as a means towards surplus and profit is recast as a method for guiding China’s emerging emergy regime through its current period of growth and into a steady-state economic and industrial maturity. Architecture as a tool of intelligence is exercised to manage China’s pulsing cycles; devices of ambiguous scale which metabolize the tumultuous economic prosperity and crystallize into architecturally specific but programmatically

Like a tree, the city is found useful. Like all systems of growth, it will reach maximum carrying capacity and decline -a project in emergy investment during a rapid period of growth is inevitably a project in managing with intelligence broader scopes and cycles of energy pulsing (years, decades, centuries, millennia).

This project challenges typological assumptions and inverts their criteria along thermodynamic lines: types as we know them are complexities and cross-bred, looped, nested and bundled -new logics of aggregation and automated organizations which have the capacity to maintain quality while absorbing the demands and of nearly one-quarter of one billion involuntary urban refugees. The proposal engages architecture as a category in conflict with existing Chinese development protocols. As a subject with deep and varied history in Modernity, the tensions between the form of the building and the form of the city unfold in the 20th century metropolis as a negotiation of subdivision logics driven by property ownership,

Neither ideological, nor ethical, the project seeks to unfold out of the aesthetics of thermodynamic materialism an alternative set of energy-driven city-making protocols for development in China. The ethical is understood as the ritual repetition of an ideology subjugated to the mechanisms of total economic rationalization -its forms nothing more than the beating of its drum on the rise and fall of capital’s organic composition. Taking the destruction immanent in capitalist creation as the basis for a skepticism in any ethical rationalization of its processes, a contrary emphasis is placed on the richness that lies within the

limits of Modern ideology--its political functioning, regulatory mechanisms, modalities of engaging crisis--on the one hand, and the limits its ethics--its reflexivity, modes of repetition, shortcomings in criticality--on the other. Aesthetics come to play a privileged role in this search for critical practice, suspended in between the ideological-ethical spectrum, yet capable of polarizing to reinforce one or the other, as a sort of elastic free agent. Investigating the real bases of the interrelationships of these components and articulating their significance is the imperative of the architect: an action that is more elaborated than ethical technique and more articulated within situational particularities than the purely ideological, critical practice motivated by purposeful desire towards meaningful impacts and outcomes.

In an effort to preserve the sanctity of the archive and it’s privileged and profound role in culture, this project seeks alternative ways in which to disseminate the contents of the archive, alternative materials for inscribing into the history of the city of Venice. The premise of the work is: Is it possible to create at this site a building that will allow Venetians to engage the archive through theater typology, thereby expanding upon the sense of performance implicit to all public spaces, and the history of theatricality in Venice.

The Archives of Venice

4 Physical model, surface of inscription

Can the public be used as a tool for inscribing the histories of Venice into an architectural space, where the topos resides in the dramatic act and where the nomos becomes implicit to a city where the performing public is in a continuous act of engaging, editing, and curating it’s archival material? Given the brief to design the archives of Venice upon the current bus depot of island, while maintaining the depot’s functionability as a major transportation node, this project operated within the ambiguity of placing the archive at the precise location where it is most likely to erode -directly upon the horizontal asphalt territory of the terminal. The banality of the bus depot coupled against the sanctity of the archive yields an architectural problem that can not, and indeed is not meant to be solved.

Topos, a term borrowed from ancient Greek philosophy, is understood with relation to the archive as the place whose bounds contain the limits of the archive. In Protohistory, for example, clay coins representing ownership of livestock were archived by placing them into clay spheres.

The act of inscription in the process in archiving simultaneously establishes a history and a future. It involves a tool for recording and a material substrate to record onto. The computer collapses these categories into one, as does the clay token.

Nomos, as defined in ancient Greek philosophy, is the making of human law. Historically, to control the archive meant to wield power. Thus he/she who inscribes concepts onto material and binds the limits of its applicability is he/she who executes law. As the processes of archiving become increasingly abstract, so to do the criteria which men/women use to regulate cultural development.

The architectural expression of the archive contains a deep history which can be said to be topo-nomological, in that it negotiates the limits of place the universality of law. To construct a contemporary archive is to participate at the frontier of a lineage of historymaking -to calibrate the ways in which collective cultural memory might unfold into the daily lives of city dwellers.

Often times in architecture, problems that are ambiguous can be made definite through the standard set of tools that we use as architects to understand things... formal analysis, historical research, data collection and processing, etc. However our problem here is structured such that it falls apart under the scrutiny of protocols that are typically associated with the early stages of understanding a project. The proliferation of printed material inevitably results in an increase in archived material, such that it’s organization comes into our current understanding of the archive as a sort of database structure with corresponding systems of retrieving useful information.

In this scenario, the authoritative nature of the archive begins to weaken, in a sense that people are able to interpret the archives themselves, democratically, and in doing so put together their own story about their culture’s history. The digitization of the archive erodes its topological or nomological value. By entering the realm of the digital, the archive loses it’s status as privileged material with privileged topos: its capacity for disseminating precise knowledge is compromised. It begins to behave as and be treated with an attitude of disposabililty which characterizes data culture.

West Bottom Water Works: Hydrological Housing in Post-Industrial Floodplains

Course: Building Typology, University of Kansas Instructor: Richard Farnan

1 Computer visualization, looking east towards Kansas City

Born on the confluence of the Kansas and Missouri Rivers, Kansas City emerged during the 19th century as a critical locale in the western expansion of the United States. Settling occurred mostly on the southern banks of the Missouri River, at the base of limestone and bedrock cliffs that were formed during Pleistocene epoch glaciations. The resulting topography, when coupled with the humid continental climate, resulted in a complex ecology; variable and rapidly changing river conditions, high-volumes of storm water runoff due to dramatic topography, wetlands to mitigate the complex hydrology, nutrient rich top soil, and a thriving wildlife population—especially for migratory birds. Military forts and suppliers initially settled here, and Kansas City soon became a primary node of trade, existing as the origin point for countless trails facilitating expeditions to the West. As the century progressed, and the trade networks

developed into transportation networks, Kansas City—and particularly the area at the southern-most bend in the Missouri River—became a major transportation center, anchored in part by the original Union Station. Commercial, industrial, and housing developments expanded continuously south across the river valley from this point, violently disrupting the locale’s ecology and establishing the infrastructural geometries for what is now referred to as ‘The West Bottoms.’ At the beginning of the 20th century, the bottoms fell victim to the Great Flood of 1903; timber constructions were destroyed, and masonry structures heavily damaged. The following years saw the migration of commercial, residential, and infrastructural programs away from the flood prone river valley; most economic investment was directed towards the

plateau that is now Downtown Kansas City. Fueled by the political Pendergast Machine and federal funds from the Depression Era, Kansas City was amongst the most lucrative of the Midwest manufacturing centers during the first part of the 20th century, boasting the largest cattle and meatpacking industry in the nation. During this period, the West Bottoms was compartmentalized as the industrial core needed to support the growth and expansion of Kansas City; most of the landmark structures that temporally and materially define the district—for example the 12th street viaduct and the Kansas City Livestock Exchange—were constructed at this time. Following this era of rapid development in the secondary economic sector occurred a sequence of unfortunate events imperative to Downtown Kansas City’s—and particularly the

West Bottoms’—current state of urban dysfunction: the Great Flood of 1953, post-WWII suburbanization, the construction of the Interstate System (signed into action c. 1956), and Kansas City’s general shift towards the tertiary economic sector. In retrospect, it is Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Interstate System that has proven to be the most catastrophic event in the history of Kansas City. Effectively operating as a noose, the Interstate System physically separates Downtown as the city’s geographic and temporal center from the West Bottoms to the west, the River Market district to the north, and the Crossroads district to the south, debilitating it’s potential as a socially active urban core. The resulting condition is one characterized by polycentricity, where a multitude of smaller cores are attached to the periphery of Downtown as a socially and culturally devoid, islanded mass—as something to be traversed, not occupied.

The goal of this project isn’t to provide a master plan for the redevelopment of Kansas City, but rather to develop a West-Bottoms specific prototype that provides precedent for continued periphery development—a sort of text-book surgical incision for the threshold zones (i.e. interstitial/in-between spaces, “urban sinks”) found between Downtown and it’s satellite districts. It must be recognized that Downtown does not necessarily need new construction to achieve the status as an active urban core. It already contains a plethora of constructed space ripe with programmatic potential—it merely needs improved access and linkage in order for that potential to be realized. Executed by means of algorithmic procedure, the proposed prototype identifies four components that are vital to successful urban intervention—social relationships, technical performance, legal implications, and economic consequences.

Prior to the Great Flood of 1903, Kansas City’s spatial configuration was defined by a favorable contrast between “upper” Kansas City (located on the bluff, affording panoramas of the river) and “lower” Kansas City (located in the bottoms, engaging the river); the two were linked by the 8th street Bridge and a subterranean tunnel that allowed for an uninterrupted, socially active space—a sort of active urban corridor. West Bottoms Waterworks must re-restore this concept of a linked, active urban corridor, but in a manner diametrically opposite to much of the recent building that Downtown has seen (e.g. The Power And Light District). This proposal must respond to existing destructive Capitalist processes by favoring communitydriven initiative over corporate development, agricultural production over product consumption, and ecological responsibility before economic profit. In addition to the historical

restoration of social space, West Bottoms Waterworks should strive to restore The Bottoms to its original ecological function. The prototype must be capable of handling the large amounts of storm water run-off generated by the impervious surfaces of Downtown, while mitigating the dramatic behavior of Missouri River, and providing refuge for wildlife—particularly for birds along their intercontinental migratory patterns. The project will also fulfill the Bottoms potential as an agricultural valley, utilizing the nutrient rich topsoil as natural resource for the city—both in terms of food production and access to green.

of our communities. Since 2002, Kansas City has been in discussions with the Environmental Protection Agency and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources to address overflows from the City’s sanitary sewer systems. In Jan. 30, 2009, the City of Kansas City, Mo., submitted the Overflow Control Plan as scheduled. The Water Services Department’s Overflow Control Plan is required by state and federal agencies and details the City’s commitment to decrease the frequency and volume of overflows from its combined and separate sanitary sewer systems. The plan is the largest infrastructure investment in Kansas City’s history with an estimated cost of $2.4 billion (2008 dollars) and will take more than 25 years to complete. In order for these social and technical and economic goals to be realized, two major legal restrictions must be overcome; the separation of high density residential programs

These measures will combine to alleviate the stress on the existing sanitary sewer system. Currently, the system combines wastewater (i.e. black water) with stormwater (i.e. grey water), resulting in raw sewage backup into the streets

from agricultural production, and the restriction of residential construction within floodplains. Kansas City’s existing zoning statutes have compartmentalized industrial programs from domestic programs, classifying agriculture—alongside steel manufacturing, wastewater treatment facilities, and recycling centers—as industrial programs that are cast by law out of the urban core. Agriculture must be liberated from this illogical statute and hybridized with urban development, realizing the programs potential to reconnect urban dwellers with the rural environment that millions of years of evolution has equipped us for. However, the coupling of residential programs with agricultural programs is further complicated by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which states that no new residential construction is to be allowed on lots that exist within the 100-year floodplain. Naturally, this restriction was created

to benefit the welfare of homeowners, but in continental humid regions, such as Kansas City, this also means that the river valleys—which offer the best soil and most stable ecology—are rendered unlivable. It is the task of West Bottoms Waterworks to reconcile these issues and to provide the region with a working solution.

Lamborghini Museum: Surface and Structure

Course: Architectural Design IV Instructor: Dennis Sander

1 Physical Model, aerial view

The Lamborghini Museum is foremost a project in the relationship between surface and structure. A continuous horizontal interiority is facilitated by five towers which structural behave as pylons. Bridges span the distance between the pylons and support four discrete architectural segments. Each segment surface geometry is optimized to bring in light to satisfy and accentuate programmatic needs: the car gallery, the library, the archives, and the offices constitute the main programmatic elements. Urbanistically, the act of hoisting the building thirty feet in the air liberates the property for future development, which anticipates factory expansion and infrastructural improvements. while affording the museum a greater regional presence; this is critical to attracting passers-by from the nearby freeway and generating enough revenue to maintain financial autonomy. As new Lamborghinis are manufactured

and prototyped, the buildings five towers will serve as large lifts to facilitate vertical transport. The vast clear span continuity produces an interiority which approaches the territorial scale. Compounded this continuity with both public and temporal programming, the museum is conceptualized as an interior park; a technological playground suspended in its own artificial horizon.

This is due to a homogeneity in the thickness of its application, and the relative weakness of the cure. No taxonomical categorization possible.

Taxonomical Categorization: based on surface topology and structural behavior. C. Results Emergent Structures: Stemming from the even modularity of the manufactured latex, emergent structures began to develop when combining variable thicknesses of latex

with variable aperture designs. A morphological evolution began to emerge with variable material transparencies and exponential expandability. A brief taxonomy of experiments from successful tests led to desire to explore similar tests with the material fused together. Current testing was performed with variable thickness sheets cut with a laser cutter and clamped together with a wooden frame and inflated through at re-used French-valve bicycle tire valve and tire pump. D. Materials Used Sheet Latex, “Amber” Natural, variable thicknesses, McMaster-Carr, online catalog, (result exceptional expandability, difficult to fuse/bond together).

1-3 “Rib Structure” (forged steel)

Both “Rib Structure” and “812 Pennsylvania” are sculptures created from materials found during a site visit at a project: re-bar, sheet steel, perforated steel, and a bike seat. “Rib Structure” was built from a single piece of 32’ re-bar, cut into similar links and forged into curvilinear rib components. These were gas welded to the spine, melting the steel into smooth joints and restoring the material continuity of the original piece of re-bar. “812 Pennsylvania” uses the stem of a bike seat to anchor a piece of sheet steel and a piece of perforated steel in space; the piece was performed as a concept diagram for relating qualities of industrial space (sharp, abrasive, punctuated) with residential space (smooth, soft, continuous).

Wallhouse Serial Multiplicities Director: Ingeborg Rocker, Assistant Professor Harvard GSD Position: Project Designer, Research Assistant Project Location: Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA Project Role: Concept Design Design Development 1 Axonometric

An exploration of adaptable Architecture and sited on the south side of the GSD portico, the Wallhouse pavilion employs a series of wood sections to create a sequence of distinct interior and exterior spaces. Using digital parametric modeling, the pavilion considers site conditions and programmatic desires to act and react with the environment through the modification of the self-similar sections. The pavilion unfolds between two lines on the southern and northern extremes. As the sections widen and bend, two bulges develop. One producing a tear in the sections creating an inhabitable interior space that invites the visitor with a integrated bench.

The bending produces a distinct space between the pavilion and the GSD wall: a larger space facing Cambridge Street that funnels into a corridor leading to the GSD’s main entrance. The programmatic use of the space may range from being a relaxation space for the Cambridge pedestrian to being a temporal exhibition and review space for the GSD community. Between the scale of building and furniture, the pavilion continues to explore parametric modeling, versioning and serial multiplicities using standard construction material such as 2”x2”s. The entire structure is constructed from renewable wood material and is fully recyclable.

Design Solution All windows on the South, East, and West faces should be protected from the high summer sun, either by eaves or awnings. These same windows should have exterior blinds or interior curtains to control glare from the low-angle winter sun. If possible, sun rays should always be stopped before they enter the building envelope (blinds are more desirable than curtains).

Analysis

Hwy 12 presents a design challenge. Under normal circumstances, porches and living spaces would be oriented to the south for best daylighting. However the noise and high-speed traffic from Hwy 12 makes too much southern exposure unattractive.

Design Solution

13024 W Hwy 12 Bentonville, AR 72712

Design Solution N

A clerestory system could be used to admit light into living spaces without admitting sound. Depending on the severity of the sound from Hwy 12, southern walls could be additionally insulated, or made out of a thicker material. Additional insulation or material here would could also create a heat sink by way of thermal mass, which is good for mitigating temperature swings and lowering the cost of heating and cooling.

The cottage should be rotated 15 degrees. This is the optimum angle for ensuring maximum heat gain in the winter, while minimizing exposure to the high, hot, mid-afternoon summer sun.

The existing footprint of your house is roughly 45’ x 30’, or 1,350 sq.ft. Taking this dimension as our starting point when designing the new cottage will give a balanced relationship between the massing and scale of the old house and the new cottage. The existing house, with it’s second storey and broad front facade, will continue to anchor the property as the primary architectural element, while the new single-story cottage will sit next to it like a “little brother.”

Transform

15 degrees 45'

As we know from our previous sun analysis, it is best if the new cottage is built so that the surface area of the roof is designed to avoid the high, hot southern summer sun, which is most brutal from 1pm-4pm. By pushing the eastern wall of the building up around 12’, the main axis of the buildling becomes an optimal 15 degrees off the eastwest axis.”

Light

Benefits

The steps can become “light gills,” which allow light but block sound. The souther facade will admit light from the eastern sun in the morning, and the north facade will admit western sun in evening, while mininmizing sounds coming from Highway 12 to the south.

By introducing a plan module of 9’, we can create a stepping effect which has a number of benefits.

When the sun is strongest at midday, there will be no direct light admitted into the interior space, thus reducing air conditioning costs.

SCALE 1/8” = 1’0” SCALE 1/8” = 1’0”

Stepping

Structure

As discussed before, the ambition of a large, open, airy living space was reduced by the need for trusses, whose bottom chord is needed to keep the truss in tension and reduce outward-pushing forces on the walls.

However, as was discussed earlier, by “stepping” the walls, they act as shear walls, thereby allowing the possibilty to use rafters instead of trusses.

The new plan is 1083 sq. ft. interior space, and 1244 sq. ft. including the porches.It maintains the previous version ‘s basic layout, with the two bedrooms on the east side, separated by a galley kitchen, and the living spaces pushed to the west. By eradicating the bend, the geometry of the plan becomes far more simple and effecient. ADA standards are present throughout, and the bedrooms in paricular have undergone and dramatic increase in functionability and comfort. The study in the northwest corner is a new addition, and provides an intimate, enclosed space from which Grandma can surrounded by her books and read, while observing the birds through a large picture window. This is her “nesting” area.

1 City plan

Stavanger has established a unique position both in a Norwegian context and internationally. A culture of ambition, innovation and entrepreneurship has shaped the city into what it is today Europe’s capital of Energy, a strong cultural hub and a destination for breathtaking extreme sport. Due to the booming offshore industry the region has doubled its population since 1950 and is continuing to grow rapidly. Currently Stavanger/Sandnes has the second largest growth rate in the country. This makes urban densification both a necessity and a desire. Madla Revheim is positioned at the point where the urban and the rural meet, the area seems perfectly suited to set a new example for how sustainable growth can be facilitated in the Stavanger region.

Identifying two clearly defined zones a green zone and an urban zone allows concentrating development along the perimeter of the site in order to realize the collective quality of a large scale common space, a recognizable quality at the heart of the development: Madla’s Green.

PROJECT 02 - INTERPOLATION: A NEGOTIATED RESIDENCE

CAREER DISCOVERY 2014

Negotiate You will define for yourself the word “negotiate” by developing an attitude toward each zone. What does it mean to move from public to private, or from the zone of resident A to the zone of resident B? If the three zones are adjacent, yet distinct parts, imagine interpolation as the harshness or softness of their edges. The transition may be abrupt (like a delineated boundary) or gently (like a smooth gradient). You are to consider the full “spectrum” of what negotiation can mean before developing your own spatial narrative.
