Brooklyn Bio/Hatchery Course : Design Studio V Instructor : Marc Tsurumaki Year : Fall 2011 110,500 square feet Located on the southern end of Sunset Park, the Brooklyn Bio/Hatchery aims to connect the post industrial site with the future biotechnology inhabitants. At one time the site was a rail yard used for the transportation of goods in and out of the B.A.T.. Currently the B.A.T. has undergone a revitalization of industry, becoming a biotechnology incubator. Given the proximity to the Upper Bay, the Wastewater Plant, and the B.A.T., the purposed program for this project was also a biotechnology incubator. This project looks to synthesize all of these into an Aquaculture facility with research and development for biotechnology and an education component for the surrounding community and the city of New York. The design of the Bio/Hatchery is a continuous loop, drawing inspiration from Aquaculture raceways and the proximate infrastructure. The form utilizes its adjacency to its water source (the treated water from the Wastewater Plant) as a high point. From there the roof is a constant slope until the water flows out into research pools. This is done so that gravity can feed water to each aquaculture module. Materiality of the design was chosen to reflect the fusing of municipal and industrial facilities.

980 square feet Empowerhouse is the result of a community based approach to building affordable, site net zero housing that addresses all aspects of domestic life. The design and construction of Empowerhouse for the Solar Decathlon and Deanwood brought together over 200 students, 20 faculty and a administrators from Parsons School of Design, Milano School of Urban Policy and Management, and Stevens Institute of Technology. Our studio joined this two year long project in its final phase and we were tasked with culmination of the design of the house, the summer construction, and bringing the house to the competition. At the beginning of the semester we were divided into six teams of two people, each assigned a piece of the project. Every week we met as the entire Empowerhouse team to vote on the progress of the design and the Solar Decathlon and Deanwood house. I was part of the envelope team and we worked on the form, structural details, and materials of the facade. Along with that we ran simulations in Therm, Ecotect, and PHPP modeling in order to test the precision in our form and the integrity of our passive house system.

Diagram of the Empowerhouse Journey
This house is the product of an interdisciplinary team of graduate and undergraduate students from a number of design disciplines— including architecture, interior design, lighting, fashion, product design, communication design, and design and technology— as well as engineering, management, and urban policy students. Since the project began, over 200 students, 20 faculty and administrators from our three schools have been a part of the team. The Empowerhouse team worked in partnership with the D.C. Department of Housing and Community Development, Groundwork Anacostia, and Habitat for Humanity of Washington, D.C., a volunteer-led organization that works to build affordable, energy– and resource–efficient homes for people in need.

A ballasted racking system for the solar panels sits on the roof minimizing thermal bridging by not penetrating the envelope.
A continuous airtight barrier controls temperature and energy flows. All windows are triple-paned. Large high-gain windows on the south side allow the winter sun to warm the home.

Empowerhouse - Solar Decathlon
Union Square Flexible Pavilion Collaborator : Jaime Elterman Course : Design Studio I Instructor : Andrew Bernheimer Year : Fall 2009 3 Weeks Union Square is well known for hosting a farmers markets four days a week, complete with an array of vendors. Amongst the commotion of New Yorkers vying for fresh produce we noticed that the area was lacking a gathering place, a place to converge and connect with fellow green enthusiats. In order to facilitate the demands of the green market we came up with a proposal that was both flexible and ephemeral. Utilizing the modular dimension of a 4’ x 8’ plwood panel we created a progression of schemes that are designed to suit the possible needs of the markets patrons as well as its employees. Our goal is to provide an area for sitting, eating, reading, standing, conversing, and a place to recuperate. An aluminum frame houses a polycarbonate panel that is sandwhiched between two plywood panels. When the plywood is folded to create surfaces the polycarbonate keeps the system rigid while maitaining transparency within the pavilion. The frame sits on two aluminum poles which are screwed into the ground and the placement of each panel is determined the day of the market as the installer has numerous options within a grid of anchors.

Red Hook Transportation Hub Course : Design Studio I Instructor : Andrew Bernheimer Year : Fall 2009 6 Weeks Looking out towards the bay in Red Hook, Brooklyn, you notice that you are standing on the brick remains of building and at the waters edge there are fractured concrete slaps slipping into water. This scene makes it hard to imagine there ever being anything here worth Marlon Brando’s time. In New York there is a vast network of public transportation feeding into thriving communities. However, in Red Hook there are no subway lines and to get to subway can take 30 minutes. The Transportation Hub is designed to facilitate multiple modes of transport, from buses, to water taxi’s, and a forgotten trolley line. A skate/bmx Park was added to the program as it promotes alternative transportation while providing a physical outlet unlike anything else in the area. Drawing inspiration from the site, the form is derived from the lifting and sinking of fracture points on a concrete slab. The Hub is a beacon for travelers while maintaining the identity of Red Hook.

Path to Sunset Park Course : Design Studio III Instructors : Rob Rogers, Jonathan Marvel, Guido Hartray Year : Fall 2010 89,300 square feet The introduction of a high school/ vocational metal working school serves as a way to begin to revitalize Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Given that the site is located on a post industrial vacant lot just north of the Narrows Generating Station and a waste management facility, it was apparent that providing a conceptual separation between the interior school and the exterior industry would be intriguing. The facade utilizes an exterior shading system that is calibrated to the azimuth of the sun. Setting this system past the structure allows unobstructed views out and low angle winter sun to provide warmth to the interior of the school. Copper and steel were used on the facade to echo the importance of the metal working vocation. The City of New York is currently working on redevelopment plan for Sunset Park and one of the initiatives is to provide an open green space for the public directly north of the site. This made it a priority to establish a direct public path to the adjacent park. While investigating the path, nodes of intersections became visible and the possibility to overlap program to create gathering space followed. This created two atrium spaces which have clear views from the ground floor to second.
