PROJECT: NYC Robotics Workshop
SEMESTER: Fall 2014 - Spring 2015 SCHOOL: City College of New York CRITIC: Jeremy Edmiston SITE: New York, NY
TEAM: Independent Thesis
A once living machine, the High Line has seen its function evolve over the course of its lifetime. This once major asset to the meatpacking district has become useless artifact in the city subject to demolition efforts. In the 21st century, the High Line has evolved into a major public park attraction. Evolving and adapting to the current era, the High Line always had the potential to adapt and reinvent itself within the city. With a new program, the High Line is once again a living machine, but this time with a different purpose.
The proposed building program size is approximately 48, 500 sf. The spaces that are included within the specified program include galleries, bars, stores, lecture rooms, classrooms, meeting rooms, labs/studios, storage, restrooms, administration, lobby, and exhibition areas.
workshop is located at the irregular section between 16th and 17th Street on 10th Avenue. The proposed robotics facility design aims to introduce a new paradigm of contemporary manufacturing in this renowned industrial site. With its rich industrial history, this facility will introduce a type of recreational manufacturing that would serve as a catalyst for other new types of contemporary manufacturing. Recreational manufacturing is a way to fully engage the public in industrial processes where not only a select group of people are creating, but also the general public.

The site of the proposed urban robotics
Located at the western edge of the Chelsea district in Manhattan lies a former industrial railway track that runs from 34th Street all the way down to Gansevoort Street in the in the 1930s, the Meatpacking district. Built elevated railway became a major transporter of packed goods for the city of New York until it was decommissioned in the 1980s. After its decommissioning, the elevated railway system became a thing of the past. The abandoned relic underwent numerous negotiations from opposing parties. Whether it was going to be demolished or preserved was mainly in question. Several years of debates later in the late 90s to early 2000s, a settlement was reached for the repurposing of the structure. Friends of the High Line, a nonprofit organization, organized a design competition among leading architects calling for its redesign. Diller Scofidio & Renfro ”’” eventually won the competition and redesigned the High Line into the park that it is today.

What if the High Line was transformed in different ways? How would the grid react to it? Imagining the High Line as a straight curve, grid transformation studies were conducted to see the different behavioral results that may occur. Manipulating the High Line geometry allows the set Cartesian grid to flex and distort depending on the types of bends that are applied to the curve.

How do we draw the High Line? What is the High Line? What does it do? How does it behave? The High Line's evolution into a public park has changed the way we see it in the urban fabric. Conceptual analysis of the site led to the study of the High Line's field condition. The High Line's unseen condition of being able to distort the grid was the main focus of these studies. What has been just an industrial asset to the district has now become a catalyst of activity and change.

The final design exhibits a very unorthodox form. Finding ways to build these complex surfaces were one of the more complicated tasks during this research period. Comprehensive design relied heavily in defining enclosure, materials, structure, construction technology, and interior environment. To define these elements, conventional drawing methods were utilized. A drawing type that encompasses all these elements is the Wall Section. This allows us to examine and analyze the building down to its minute details. The main materials within this structure are steel, glass fiber reinforced concrete, glass fiber reinforced plastic, and glazing. The experimentation with malleable and lightweight materials allow us to observe how they behave with complex surfaces. Opacity and transparency are defined by the types of surfaces that enclose the building: solid and fin. The unique twisting surfaces allow for flexible play with light and shadow.

PROJECT: Tokyo Vertical Cemetery YEAR: Fall 2016 ORGANIZATION: ArchOutLoud Competitions CRITIC: ArchOutLoud Jury SITE: Tokyo, Japan TEAM: Independent Research DESCRIPTION:
Grievance, prayer, burial, and most often neglect. The monotonous process of death has always been a routine event in both spiritual practice and urban fabric. Cemeteries, an increasing commodity and problem in most dense cities, fill up unwanted voids and end up becoming an outcast of the city. The tumultuous characteristic of the site is antithetical to the serene needs of the program. The project aims to use the turbulent site and create a symbiotic relationship between the polarized site and program. To coexist with one another, the project blends three main elements: columbarium, sanctuary, and a public vertical garden. What is life after death? Preconceived notions are created for this question in the form of religion. According to many, when one dies they spiritually transcend to a state or place of nirvana in some form. Funerals are often held as a threshold to the afterlife, thus moving into another life. The attempt to bridge the two universes of life and death in a discordant site creates a challenging task. How do we create architecture that is inclusive to both? Architecture that makes us remember and not forget those who have moved on. As all life is precious, their final resting place should be treated the same way. As density and population increase in Tokyo, the space for burial sites has been scarce. The need to go vertically is the latest paradigm to be introduced as cities get denser. The site location allows opportunities to blend the two unique Tokyo districts together. The site's circulation flow lines are a distinctive trait of the site. A single main road and railway system connect the corporate Tokyo skyscraper district to the vibrant world of the "Times Square" of Tokyo, but how can we minimize the heavy traffic to accommodate the new vertical resting place?

Mutant Species
Site flow lines extend up and become the physical manifestation of the main exterior structure of the architecture. As the lines twist and merge, the programs also blend. Twist degree is determined through columbarium and sanctuary schedules: morning equals prayer, afternoon equals COLUMBARIUM reflection, and evening equals rest. The vertical garden acts as a unifying agent for the site and program. The garden allows for a moment of pause as a way to alleviate the heavy WORSHIP traffic that surrounds the site and in a way provide a spiritual connection between the living and the dead. The

main supporting structures encourage the redirection of flow. It encourages people to take a moment to relax and reflect in the tranquil environment of the afterlife; a total opposite of the site context. The building is comprised of two main materials: wood and concrete. The combination of both, a unique trend in contemporary Japanese architecture, emphasizes the relationship between man-made ingenuity and the reverence of nature.

The twisting beacon rises almost 1,000 feet above the Shinjuku horizon; overlooking the neighboring skyscraper district. The columbarium can house hundreds of thousands of burial urns which alleviates the need for more land. The height is not only meant to reduce the land demand but also serve as a reminder for the departed souls.
Buddhism, much like Shinto, emphasizes the transcendental relationship of mankind to nature. Aside from the inclusion of a vertical garden, the curve branching of the project resembles that of how a tree works: rooting itself to the earth and growing towards the sky.
The architecture of death should focus on inclusion instead of isolation. Respect should be given when it is due but should not cease. Places to reflect are the most important aspects whether it is living or dead. Areas of escape and reflection are absolutely necessary in high densities and the architecture can act as an agent for that change.

Origami
PROJECT: Mexico Design Museum YEAR: Summer 2014 ORGANIZATION: ArchTriumph Competitions CRITIC: ArchTriumph Jury SITE: Mexico City, Mexico TEAM: Independent Research DESCRIPTION:
Origami is the Japanese art of paper folding. With a set of diagrammatic steps and parameters, a unique form is then created. These forms can be mass replicated with the same set of instructions or it can also result in multifarious forms if certain parameters in those instructions were modified. There is grandeur beauty with experimentation and testing, especially in art. This project lets loose on all conventional building program approaches and places a heavy focus on the art of making and digital prototyping; a direct opposite of “ form follows function” . Defining set parameter types and manipulating each value results in new structures under the same family. Points and boundary representations are used as the main variables for this method of form finding. These two variables in turn generate folded volumetric models, each with their own unique exterior and interior surface. Situated next to major roadway in Mexico City, the proposed site was the location of a former parking garage. Scattered across many different locations in the city are parks for leisure and pause. Each park had some form of art situated within it, such as sculptures or fountains. The site planning concept behind this site revolved around the same idea of a typical city park with a magnificent piece of artwork at the center. The attitude towards this design is directly related to its program which is a design museum that houses contemporary art. What is art? Art is an expression of human creativity in tangible forms thus placing an emphasis on physical creations. Each form created had its own distinctive response to site elements, such as daylight and circulation. Testing and modeling of an assortment of folded volumes were conducted and one was chosen for further development. 3D printed forms allowed for physical examination of exterior and interior spaces.

The form accommodates approximately 60,000 sf of program which includes spacious exhibition zones, library, lecture halls, cinemas, café , lounges, and administration. A mixture of interior folded surfaces defines each space providing a variety of experiences in each program. The main materials used for the design were steel, concrete, and GFRC panels. The GFRC panels can be digitally fabricated to provide distinct apertures to let ample daylight in major areas.

PROJECT: Kingsborough Community College Dormitories SEMESTER: Fall 2013 SCHOOL: City College of New York CRITIC: Yehre Suh SITE: Coney Island, NY TEAM: Independent Project DESCRIPTION:
Coney Island, a barrier island in southern Brooklyn, is a diverse region with a multitude of community demographics. Being the end of many NYC commuter rail and bus lines, Coney Island is a popular attraction because of its lengthy beach and amusement park. The island has a central roadway as being the main artery connecting both the east and west sides of the island. Aside from its attractions, most of Coney Island has a residential typology with varying neighborhoods based on income, age, and race. The site of the project is in an academic institution part of the City University of New York (CUNY) system called Kingsborough Community College at the easternmost edge of the island. In recent years, Coney Island has been at the forefront of relief and rebuilding efforts ever since being ravaged by Hurricane Sandy in late 2012. A push for resiliency and sustainability has been a major topic for future planning of coastline areas. Therefore, Kingsborough Community College is in need of a new master plan for future structures along with a new residence hall to accommodate CUNY students.

How do we analyze the site in a three dimensional way? How do we use these site analysis results as a way to master plan the site while taking into account resiliency efforts? Coney Island has a fibrous nature both in sociopolitical and geographical terms. Much like the adjacent Jamaica Bay, the main idea of this project is to catalyze a natural phenomenon: Barrier island formation. Achievable through dredging of underwater soil in Sheepshead Bay, the creation of artificial barrier islands will help accrete eroded soil which in turn will help with the natural growth of these islands. Natural and uninhabited barrier islands aid in absorbing the breaking of ocean waves which in turn protect main lands from erosion. Eventually, plant and animal life will migrate naturally and serve as resilient ecosystems. Some interior islands would also be big enough to host new buildings for the campus. These future ecosystems could also serve as ecology research zones.

PROJECT: Analyzing Gaudi's Colonia Guell SEMESTER: Spring 2015 SCHOOL: City College of New York CRITIC: Jonathan Scelsa SITE: Barcelona, Spain TEAM: Anthony Jaiprashad DESCRIPTION:
Gaudi, a pioneer of contemporary architecture, has built many of the world's most beautiful structures. Through intelligent math and direct hands on carpentry, he was able to modernize construction in architecture. His most famous works served as a catalyst for the avant-garde movement. Because of his untimely death, a majority of his large scale projects were incomplete and put in an abrupt end thus leaving future theorists, architects, and engineers to question what would have become of his works. Along with the infamous Sagrada Familia, there was another incomplete project by Gaudi that utilized the same system: the Church of Colonia Guell. Both Sagrada Familia and Colonia Guell were both designed with Gaudi’ s research with catenary curves. Situated in a small community of artisans, when Gaudi died, only the crypt was completed, but the rest of the structure remained a mystery. The main objective of this project is to analyze what was left of the materials that Gaudi left behind before his death. To analyze and rebuild what was supposed to be are what drive this study. Catenaries are curves formed by a wire, rope, or chain hanging freely from two ends under its own weight. Gaudi created several hanging chain models that serve as primary structure for his edifices. Inverting the model in the z-direction assumes that structural load would flow in the opposite direction thus becoming a system of structural elements. With the resources available, a series of hypothesis and conclusions had to be made as to how Gaudi planned to continue construction. Careful studies and establishing relationships between plan and section were the first step of the task. How does the plan inform the section and vice versa? How does the structural grid relate to what catenary structures are doing? All these questions dictated as to how the parametric process would begin. Using Grasshopper and Kangaroo, the software was able to simulate a catenary surface model of the proposed building. Relationships between circles, ellipses, surface revolutions, and gravity load were necessary for parameter manipulation.

PROJECT: U.S.-Mexico Border Crossing Station SEMESTER: Spring 2014 SCHOOL: City College of New York ORGANIZATION: AISC Student Competitions CRITIC: Joan Krevlin SITE: Puerto Palomas, Mexico TEAM: Independent Project DESCRIPTION:
What is a wall? What is a border? These often imaginary lines and sometimes geographical barriers become the sole identity area marker of a sovereign territory. Often leading into conflicts and disputes, walls and borders are just separating entities. This delineation of territory is what defines power of an individual or group. The U.S. Mexico border is a highly disputed and politicized area of the North American continent. Similar to other physical borders, this border is meant to completely separate each side. This is where most illegal crossings take place in the United States where many refugees escape the dangerous parts of their native country to seek new opportunities in the free land of the U.S. Though many that cross face severe physical challenges, they are also at risk from separating their families.

Instead of building walls, how can we turn walls into bridges? Unification over separation is the ‘more humane approach. The specific site is located at the border towns of Puerto Palomas, Mexico, and Columbus, New Mexico. An unusual situation occurs between these two areas. Unlike many other stringent border towns, these two have a mutual respect and understanding for each other. The relationship in these two areas is unusual because there is a fluid connection from both sides. Since there are no hospitals on the Mexico side, parents who are not U.S. citizens or residents cross over to a nearby hospital in Columbus to give birth therefore making their offspring automatic U.S. citizens. What happens then? These children have the opportunity to attend U.S. schools while the parents have to remain on their side of the border. School buses would enter and exit the border daily so that the Mexican children could attend school. Due to politics, that is where the disconnection lies.
How do we bridge the gap in this condition? This project focuses on the notion of neutral buffer zones where two sides can meet but not necessarily cross each freely. This neutral area would become a political agreement that allows direct communication for both sides. A political asymptote is formed where it provides opportunity for leisure and communication between parents and teachers; children from both sides. The border wall twists and becomes an oasis and opens up for both towns. The first level of this building is contains the normal inflexible program of border crossings where identity and status are truly emphasized. The second level becomes the neutral ground where the two factors do not play a harsh role. This neutral garden becomes a free garden. Free of politics and free of separation.

The structure primarily uses steel as its main building component. Aside from structure, the building has a triangulated corten skin that act as shading devices and rainwater collectors. Since the site is located in the desert, water consumption and reservation are important for both communities. The corten skin consists of malleable thin sheets that are capable of flexing and shearing in both directions. Along with the rain absorptive skin are also twisted surface solar panels that can be used to harness solar energy and provide sustainable power.

PROJECT: Harlem School of the Arts Renovation SEMESTER: Spring 2013 SCHOOL: City College of New York CRITIC: Fabian Llonch SITE: Harlem, NY TEAM: Independent Project DESCRIPTION:
The Harlem School of the Arts, designed by Ulrich Franzen in the late 1960s, is one of many Brutalist buildings in New York City that houses a diverse array of cultural arts program within the Harlem neighborhood. The building's appearance seems to be a total opposite of its main function. As a school that promotes art and diversity, the building massing speaks otherwise. The school is currently a heavy brick block with minimal openings which covers all the hidden talent enriching the school. For his project, the school organization called for renovation proposals for the school. How do we envision the new Harlem School of the Arts? How can it connect to the already culturally rich neighborhood? How do we engage the public in seeing these talented students? The project idea revolved around of a public park as a way to bring the neighborhood's attention to these talents. Surrounding the site are numerous public parks that are socially active in every way. How do we bring that into the school and open it up even more?

Introducing a type of urban topography within the existing building's open atrium is the first place to start. Preserving most of the building's existing structures, this new stairway system is meant emphasize circulation and activity. The twisting staircase system that starts from the building core opens up the existing main entrance of the building. From this point, it makes its way up to the added third floor and then makes it way to the new performace theater of the building. This whole system opens up several opportunities for informal performances where spectators from the public can gather and watch live "street performances" in informal stages. Not only is this meant to encourage students to showcase their talents, but also a way for the distant public to embrace it.

Domino Effect
PROJECT: Brooklyn Double House SEMESTER: Fall 2012 SCHOOL: City College of New York CRITIC: Elisabetta Terragni SITE: Brooklyn, NY TEAM: Independent Project DESCRIPTION:
Bushwick is one of many areas of Brooklyn that is undergoing rapid gentrification. Primarily an industrial area, the gentrified process has turned many of its lots into brand new residences. A younger and family oriented demographic has started to move in from all over.

How do we unite these two similar yet different activities in its own way together? The design for these residences challenge the organization of private and public spaces. How do we maintain privacy yet try to showcase the skills each familly possess?

A new twist in this Brooklyn neighborhood, this proposal redefines the industrial character of Bushwick while also preserving parts of it. This also introduces a new convention in residential architecture. It becomes more than a place of habitation, but more of a public training center. The house is situated among many other student proposals in a collaborated master plan in Morgan Avenue.

The Domino Effect focuses on the idea of motion with variables of time and activity. Aside from the conventional living spaces, two performance areas are at the main facade of the double house. These performance areas are not only connected to street views but also within the interior where both dancer and fighter could see each other's motions. The twisted brick massing mimics the industrial character of the adjacent buildings in the neighborhood.

Spitzer Alcove
PROJECT: Lighting as Environment SEMESTER: Spring 2014 SCHOOL: City College of New York CRITIC: Domingo Gonzalez SITE: Spitzer School of Architecture at CCNY TEAM: Ermira Kasapi & Alvaro Almada DESCRIPTION:
Studio work, lecture, studio work, eat, studio work, and with little to no time for sleep. These are the typical daily routines for an architecture student. This alcove located at the corner of a wide hallway within the Spitzer School of Architecture provides a place of refuge for the hectic daily life of an architecture student. This small nook allows a student to have a sense of privacy and relaxation. This is a place where they could eat, read, nap, and think in peace. The form of the structure forces an individual to crawl into an open and well lit interior. A short journey into privacy. The interior lighting is composed of LED lights that offer a soft and relaxing environment. The enclosure is made from soft black and white fabric where the white fabric accentuates the lit private space.

Planar Folds
PROJECT: Wright Spatial Analysis SEMESTER: Spring 2011 SCHOOL: City College of New York CRITIC: Fran Leadon SITE: Brooklyn, NY TEAM: Changyoul Han & Hector Santacruz DESCRIPTION:
The Jacobs House in Madison, WI was the prototype for Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian houses. The L-plan was the template that became the main characteristic of Wright's houses. Wright focused on connection with nature through the opening up of folded planes. The hearth which he considered the center of all Usonian homes are the origins of the unfolding planes. The spatial analysis model conducted revolved around his basis of folding planes from an origin point. These folded planes turn in all directions and create special interior spaces as walls, rooves, and floors. These models were eventually implemented on a site along with a collaborator. These analysis models were to be programmed as weather stations at the Brooklyn Promenade. Each with their own unique weather tool for specific phenomenon, the program had to be unified with all these supplementary components.
