swit[ch]ange house TYPE: la co-lab house COLLABORATE: crit: lawrence blough
Project Discription: In this new age we live in, the concept of sharing has transformed in a way that contradicts everything we were taught as a kid. One of the most drastic change comes from the concept of home sharing, the idea was to bring strangers into your house for a temporary stay. However, regardless of the idea being changed, the architecture stayed the same. As Mies van der Rohe once said “architecture is the will of an epoch translated into space.” how do we begin to translate our understanding of human behavior and relationship of this modern ideolody into architecture. One o the mot important phenomenons after being in the same space with someone is that your schedule changes based on the person you’re living with; and there lies the essence of the design. Space and time are always in flux, in science and in human behavior, maybe it’s time for architecture to react accordingly.
SWIT[CH]ANGE HOUSE PETER HSI
SCHEDULED LIVING I decide to focus on the schedule of the occupants’ activities, but also understand the flexibility of human behavior. The project is called SWIT[ch]ANGE House, meaning, the house itself switches with the activities in and out. SWIT[ch]ANGE House focuses on three aspects of adaptability, daily, monthly, and yearly. Daily switches comes from both occupants day-in-life schedule and when you have two different usergroups with different schedules that different parts of the house is being activated. Monthly switches comes dealt with a larger scale of changes, the neighborhood, the house turned into a event gathering space. Finally, the yealy switches understands the process of life, we eventually grow larger in size or grow out of the house.

history of syncopation TYPE: columbia university boathouse COLLABORATE: crit: sal tranchina student: kaanur Papo
Project Discription: Columbia Boathouse located at the edge of the Manhattan island, Spuyten Duyvil Creek. Locating at the entrance of the creek, the architecture is constantly under the influence of the natural environment, and the development of buildings of Columbia sports department. The Nature Development is to take the two forces onsite and create an architecture celebrates the combination of the site and the building. We decide to use the tectonic of sticks instead of planer walls to further develop the building that changes with the landmass, sunlight, windflow, and other environmental factors.

sponge//porosity TYPE: pratt institute graguate dormitory COLLABORATE: crit: andrew lyon student: ipek duru
Project Discription: We consider the double loaded corridor not just as circulation but as usable, programmed space. We believe that living in a community requires large, medium and small shared spaces. We’ve developed a response to the brief that takes the idea of a double loaded corridor and creates a hybrid between a sponge-like matte building and a traditional double loaded corridor. We expand the shared spaces throughout the building by using the sponge concept, and eventually connect to the exterior, also primary, shared spaces. We capture the opportunity the shared spaces contact the facade of the building, and able to create the porosity-like movement on the facade.

present living TYPE: future house // micro house COLLABORATE: partner: ayan askarbek
Project Discription: our definition of micro-housing does not solely rely on small square footage, but also on the notion of owning less belongings. today it is harder to afford to own a house than in the past. the millennial generation is facing socio-economic factors such as student loan debts, fewer job availabilities, etc. the architecture that we are proposing is helping people reduce the amount of belongings they own in order to live in smaller affordable units. this is achievable through customization of the unit based on the present living requirements of the unit owner. over time as the owner’s life evolves he/she is able to adapt to new living conditions. to envision our concept of a micro-house, we created an architectural language of adaptability through the design of a toolkit. the design of the architectural toolkit developed in relation to the time of movement. we tried to understand the changes a person may encounter during daily, monthly, and yearly activities. our architecture seeks to create a distinctive architectural toolkit system, which relates to the ever changing living requirements of our users.

OUR DEFINITION OF MICRO-HOUSING DOES NOT SOLELY RELY ON

SMALL SQUARE FOOTAGE, BUT ALSO ON THE NOTION OF OWNING LESS BELONGINGS. TODAY IT IS HARDER TO AFFORD TO OWN A HOUSE THAN IN THE PAST. THE MILLENNIAL GENERATION IS FACING SOCIO-ECONOMIC FACTORS SUCH AS STUDENT LOAN DEBTS,

city acre TYPE: ctbuh competition COLLABORATE: partner: andreas tellman
Project Discription: City Acre proposes an idea of a self sufficient, environment and community driven high rise that can change the urban structure of residences in dense cities. A big step towards self sufficient housing calls for change in the way existing buildings coexist with newer structures. City Acre creates community produce markets that receive the goods from its extensive roof system. The living roof system provides sustenance for the high rise residential units and for the surrounding community. Land bridges cross from block to block allowing for safer and faster circulation of people and produce while alleviating pedestrian traffic at street level. The high rise itself, integrates towers of farming gardens and residential units to create a cycle of self sustaining community. Panels of steel grating are added as second layer to the facade for plant growth in areas of solar energy and ecological gain. The tower’s geometry is a result of the site’s orientation and maximization of sunlight. The North tower is constantly maximizing sunlight while the South tower minimizing its shadow effect. Between the towers are sky parks that create opportunities for residents to enjoy leisure time outdoors without actually leaving the complex.

senda verde TYPE: architecture competition COLLABORATE: architect: gonzalo carbajo
Project Discription: Address: Av. Pellegrini 2202, S2000QDN Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina Project Type: Museum Extension Competition Project Responsibility: rendering schematics plans and sections Juan B. Castagnino museum extension has named numerous requirements in their program needs and their connectivity between these, however, they also wanted to preserve as much of the green area onsite. The location is in the middle of Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina, it’s at the crossroads of their urban greenery. The design of the museum extension is to have more programs they required but also have the ability to preserve the existing urban greenery. We decided to lift the greenery and place the program underneath to simultaneously have both greenery and program as the museum required. By lifting the site, we also created a framing towards to original museum as well as the center of the greenery park. By lifting the site, we also faced some opportunity to have this gradual slope to have different use of the site program, such as floor to seating to wall.
applied computation TYPE: computational design COLLABORATE: crit: david mans student: elina zaytseva
Project Discription: Applied Computation is a course which introduces students to the real world application of simulation and optimization within the design process for the testing and validation of design assumptions. Through a semester long project students will be exposed to both a strong foundation in the diverse ecosystem of plugins developed by architects and engineers for Grasshopper 3d and a comprehensive set of lectures focusing on their applications in built projects. In a contemporary practice the window of time for design development is a diminishing quantity, while the expectation for certainty in the value of design decisions is an exponentially increasing portion of design deliverables, where projects now deliver as much data as design. Yet in an era where the limited material capacity of the planet is ever more clear, architects must evolve their process to study, through digital means, the physical constants of gravity and structure, material and form, light and energy, that drive the establishment of architecture in the physical world.
