intersti[CITY] Al Basra

POSITION STATEMENT

With new models of more intelligent building design operations emerging, there arises a need to negotiate between the brutal efficiency of computational optimization on one hand and on the other non-quantitative architectural values—especially in complex cultural contexts such as rebuilding the city of Basra. Given the task of designing a tower in a city such as Basra, our group developed a position based on the idea of interstitiality, both spatially and conceptually. This new tower will establish a framework that mediates the intersection of the culturally diverse urban fabric of the local city and the new modern development of the Basra Sport complex. It is imperative that we achieve multiple goals at once: maintain the identity of the city, satisfy quantitative issues such as wind flow and program, and address qualitative issues such as privacy and aesthetics. Through our methodology that combines collaboration, computation, and intuition, we are able to produce a design that strikes a balance between the city and the new development, between culture and sustainability, and between a more traditional approach to design and one with more explorative possibilities.

The concept of interstitiality is negotiated through the connection between the tower and the city. The new tower exists at the intersection and overlap of the culturally diverse context of the local city and the new modern development of the Basra Sport Complex.

FLEXIBLE

A modular trifurcated tower design was selected as the ideal form generation strategy because of its spatial and performative benefits. It strikes a balance between a more tradtional method of design which tends to be heavliy contorl and a more flexible method of design which tends to be too chaotic.

FORM GENERATION | TRIFURCATION

PHASE 1: CONCEPTION

MODULAR CONSTRUCTION 3 SEGMENT POLYHEDRONS

The tower is constructed in a modular fashion out of polyhedral chunks. There are 3 polyhedron pairs per plan and each polyhedron can accommodate 2 floors. Variation in trifucation comes about from whether or not the polyhedron pairs are connected or separated.

UNIFORM DISTRIBUTED LOAD

UNIFORM DISTRIBUTED LOAD

TYPICAL COLUMN GRID STRUCTURE A typical column grid structural system is too constrained and forces interior spaces to adhere to this grid. Also member sizes tend to be larger since there are fewer members available to carry the load

DIAGRID SPACE FRAME STRUCTURE A space frame allows the structure to be constructed out of volumes allowing for more free open space in the interior and offer wider angles of vision. Triangulation is also an optimal structural system because of its strength and rigidity. Also, more members means they can be thinner.

POST-TEST ANALYSIS

After we surpassed 2,000 design iterations we began an analysis of the design results to search for trends and find the Pareto frontier. The closer the dots are to the left portion of this graph the better because we want to minimize on the X-axis and maximize on the Y-axis. The more red dots are preferred because they have a higher program score.

It seemed easy to test wind and structure together, but the program score really threw off the learning curve of the optimization. Optimal designs were good but not as good as the prediction.

We knew that due to the complexity of our objectives it was very difficult to predict comprehensive results for a tower segment, but with separate testing of the objectives, it was clear that our program objective had a very straightforward learning curve compared to wind and structure. However, from the test we learned that with each unique, unsolvable design that we couldn’t easily think of there was a tendency for the opposite to occur. It seemed that the other two objectives halted the progress of the program objective from achieving a maximum score. The unique results were still doing just as well compared to the performance improvement we initially thought. And another interesting outcome from the test, is that there was a tendency for when structure didn’t preform well, the wind score would be worse.
