occupy wall street mapping project 2011 MIT Department of Planning Professor: Annette Kim Beginning with the Arab Spring, 2011 was a year of worldwide sustained social protest. With the Occupy Wall street movement, we observed a continuation of this process of democracy in action. OWS highlights that in our highy-interconneted, and increasingly non-spatially hierarchical world, there is a still a fundamental ability for physical space to act as a catalyst through which social transformation can occur. An increasingly common trend in protests - as with the Occupy Wall Street movement - is for the demonstration to take place on privately owned property. This is not particular uncommon, or radical, in her book Everyday Urbanism, Margaret Crawford points to the streets, parking lots, swap meets, and strip malls of Los Angeles as being temporarily transformed into â&#x20AC;&#x153;sites of protest 6

Because of prolonged nature of the This shift from being a public space, to protest, Zuccotti Park was transformed an enclave where protesters began to beyond a space of protest into an informal exhibit more and more of a feeling of city.

Urbanization Of The Atmosphere And Outer Space In “The Urban Revolution,” Henri Lefebvre poses that “the urban phenomenon is colossal; its prodigious extension-expansion cannot be constrained.” The dialectic of concentrated-extended urbanization could perhaps be challenged to its most extreme in outer space. The metabolic activities of earth—its connectivity of materials, energy and information— are directly linked to the metabolism of outer space activities. In the first instance, there is a transfer of fixed capital from the earth to outer space through satellite production and launches; second, there is a transfer of circulating capital from space to earth in the form of geospatial data flows (GPS; images; communication). The human need for increased terrestrial data and communication has produced a “vertical territorialization” of outer space. We look at how outer space has been mapped, historicized, and transformed as a territory through state, military, and commercial appropriations. The development of remote sensing technology has necessitated the intensification of capital accumulation in outer space, its final frontier of agglomeration being space debris. Outer space is thus being urbanized/colonized/ densified; it is an extreme extraterrestrial site embodying terrestrial-based neoliberal processes. 8

bahamian gis database 2013-Present A Sustainable Future for Exuma Lab, Harvard University With Jian He In order to develop an accurate basis for the regional land use plan, I have been responsible for building and developing the Exuma labâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s GIS database, a comprehensive collection of data that can be used to understand present development patterns, assess trends, and to speculate about future trajectories. Due to the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relative remoteness, much of this data has been built from the ground-up. The database also includes information compiled from other sources, many of which have been digitized by the lab. Data in this collection includes among other information: building footprints, historic and present zoning, land use, service locations, ecological and geological data, hydrology, mobility information, historic storm data, and projections of sea level rise.

The maps visualize geographic phenomena, and transformative processes taking place in the region showing past trends and future projects and dealing with topics such as climate change, energy, food and agriculture, waste, and mobility. These maps were presented as part of a conference held at the GSD in Fall of 2013.

GROUND RECOVERY

horizon house entry 2013 Harvard Graduate School of Design GSD Winning Team / Competition Winner With Thomas Sherman, Mariano Gomez-Luque, Carlos Cerezo Davila, and Ana Garcia Puyol This scheme is based on the concept of designing an inhabitable floor / thermal surface rather than a building. The existing ground of the site is reclaimed and elevated on the roof of house, allowing the new domestic surface to sit within. The interior steps and elevation change determine spatial division and separate the individual zones of the thermally active floor surface. Human physiology requires different temperatures for separate domestic activities, and each radiant floor surface can provide this degree of customizing. A retreat in Taiki-cho, Hokkaido for the 21st century, can provides the highest level of comfort with very little fossil fuel use. Constant floor surface temperatures are maintained with vertical geothermal heat wells assisted by a biomass pellet burner. This system is complemented by a rapidly warming wood stove which forms a social center for the house. The solid wood base acts to lift the house out of the snow and provides insulation against the ground. The solid timber flooring with radiant heating provides thermal mass for the interior space. Wide availability of waste wood from the 2011 Tsunami and abandoned buildings from the de-population of rural Hokkaido allowed the creation of a foundation base that had much less embodied energy than a comparable design of cast concrete. Minimal site excavation and the use of locally grown Japanese Larch and Yezo spruce for the structural frame and interior cladding keep most of the material geographies within Hokkaido. 18

425 park avenue New York, NY Competition | 2012 OMA/AMO With Shohei Shigematsu, Jake Forster, Ted Lin, Sandy Yum, Ahmadreza Schricker, Patrick Hobgood, Daniel Quesada Lombo, Andy Westner, Clarisa Garcia Fresco, Carla Hani, Suzan Ibrahim, Christina Argyrou, Cass Nakashima, Lisa Hollywood, Denis Bondar In 2012, OMA was shortlisted to develop a proposal for the redesign of a skyscraper for Park Avenue, an historic modernist boulevard and home to the Seagram and Lever House towers. The project called for two submissions, one considering an as-of-right construction, requiring to maintain a significant portion of the existing structure and adapt the incredibly deep floorplates. The second considered how the tower could be constructed based on future zoning laws allowing it to break the existing FAR and preserve a smaller portion of the building. Both concepts relied on a perceived twisting figure, which shifted to accommodate the tapering zoning, and designed by lofting three equally spaced boxes.

rotch scholarship 48 hour charette Spring 2013 A Multi-Generational Urban Retreat There is a tendency in the United States for children to leave their parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home once they are financially able to do so. More recently, budgetary strains - both for the young and the elderly - have escalated causing families to often group together again. Instead of viewing this as a detriment, this project aims to celebrate the potentials of family and multi-generational living, while simultaneously allowing the individuals residing within a multitude of freedom and personal space. The apartments are conceived in two parts. The central component is an L-shaped plan that divides the space into two zones, one for the parent(s) and children, and a second space for either the elderly or family member who wishes to have his/ her own space. If extension is necessary there is a one-bedroom apartment located between the larger units. In order to build connections with neighbors, and in order to extend the family, the two housing blocks are intersected by a continuous pedestrian ring which contains a multitude of functions including: a lounge, library, sports facilities, and a day care center, all helping the residents to foster a greater sense of community. 28

the very large museum 2012 Harvard Graduate School of Design Professor: Farshid Moussavi Situated in Järvafältet, Stockholm, this extremely large museum questions issues of contemporary curation, building flexibility, and navigation. Concrete domes on an inwardly spiraling grid define the museum’s structural and spatial organization. Rotating walls are found at the center of domes, and can be reconfigured to produce diverse spatial conditions and gallery configurations.

What happens when the museum arrives at a very large scale? At a particular moment, the strategies and partis that can serve a medium scale project are no longer sufficient. How can a museum begin to organize itself utilizing a clear parti, that allows for flexibility over time, and - very significantly - establishes a method of navigation that allows users to easily negotiate a complex spatial entity.

Gallery Subdivisions Strategy While a hexagonal grid is easily subdividable into multiple gallery configurations, the dome presents a complex scenario. Due to varying ceiling heights, it is difficult to divide the dome without creating large gaps between the partitions and the domes above. The solution is to place a large movable partition at the center of each dome. This partition can rotate 360 degrees, as a result producing a large variety of gallery conditions. Lecture Hall North

staten island temporary arts museum Port Ivory, Staten Island Design Build | 2009 archicorp! As recession slows the pace of trade, ports world-wide fill with unused shipping containers and pallets. Opportunistically, COAHSI has devised to hold a gala celebrating the arts of Staten Island at the New York Shipping Container Terminal at Port Ivory. Temporarily subtracted from the global flow of trade, pallets - which sit unused - are given an unexpected use as the building material for a temporary museum and event. Condensing three thousand pallets into a precise configuration, what was once a generic storage facility is now transformed into a space for an arresting experience. Ka Pierla son

Milan, Italy Installation | 2008 OMA/AMO

In a reaction against the rigid configuration of the traditional fashion show runway, where audience is reduced to mere spectator and model to object, the Archipelago project attempts to amend this relation. The installation operates in two modes: first as a sculptural space, next as event. While empty, the islands are an elegant recalcitrant wooden archipelago. The sitting and standing people become participant, forming the paths the models occupy. The models fill the interstitial spaces, and the reactant mass redefines and reforms the event as it progresses.

The park was considered as an ecological reserve and would function in connection with the adjacent international airport. The park would allow for future airport expansions while also accommodating a wide range of functions including agriculture, energy production, waste management, government housing, a new campus for the Ministry of Environment, and recreational paths.

st. elia master plan s Calgari, Italy Schematic Design | 2008 OMA

A preliminary master plan for a district built in the 1950s in the St. Elia district of Calgari, Sardegna. After years of neglect, and a poorly designed rehabilitation plan including a Hadid designed museum, the proposal presents a long-term strategy that embraces the existing conditions, stitching the disparate fabrics of the site with the adjacent neighborhoods and infrastructure. What was previously a pocket of isolation becomes the bridge among the neighborhoods.

Favero Constructed in the 1950s, the Favero housing was designed with Corbusier’s Unite in mind. Echoing the Unite’s shortcomings, the ground level beneath the piloti is a dangerous territory, much of which is governed by drug gangs. As opposed to demolishing the existing buildings, the existing is retained and necessary amenities are inserted into the vacant first two stories.

Professor: Paola Vigano

The project imagines a new concept for the Berkshires region, a new hybrid model, both social and economic, combining new industrial and cultural activity with recreation, and the productive use of the land. Running parallel to the Appalachian trail, the project imagines a new economic network moving from the river basin outward. Via the reappropriation of some portions of private land along the riverbed, including vacant sites as well defunct and contaminated industrial sites, the project creates a continuous corridor for an approximately 100 kilometer expanse serving as the backbone for a socioeconomic reanimation of the territory

Voids, Deficits, and Potentials The past trajectory of the territory has led to a by-product of previous eras. There are many focus on the development of particular systems moments where these sites of potential and deficit and patterns in lieu of others. This undermines overlap. many potentials of the Berkshires, such as: farmable land, and sites that can yield significant amounts of energy for the region. Simultaneously, there is a significant amount of under-utilized land,

Overlaps / Confluence By superimposing the potentials and deficits of the region over the under-utilized sites, it is possible to envision a new means of reinvigorating the region. Some sites take on more of a socioeconomic role, where others become new productive or recreative spaces.

City Center / Adams Productive Park Adams, Massachusetts Like much of the Megalopolitan territory, Adams was once a center of relatively significant industrial productivity. However, unlike much of the territory, which began to take on a more service-oriented role in the latter half of the twentieth century, much of the Northern Berkshires held onto its manufacturingbased economy for considerably longer than the rest. While manufacturing centers such as Lawrence and Lowell were already in significant decline following the end of the second World War, Adams and the Berkshire Cotton Manufacturing Company remained productive into the 1970s. Finally, the demise of larger industries in both North Adams and Pittsfield, as well as the inability to remain profitable led to the closure of the textile plant in Adams. Unlike, North Adams, which was able to find a relative economic resurgence through arts and cultural initiatives- Adams has yet to have found a new means of reinvigorating its economy. Presently, the site of the former textile mill is nearly vacant, serving as little more than a school bus depot. The remaining mill buildings are partially utilized as a storehouse for a local trucking company. Though initiatives such as those realized in North Adams have created some economic resurgence, risk once more remains in creating an un-diversified monofunctional economy. In opposition to this type of development, the proposal for the center of Adams aims to produce a revitalization and robustness via a diversity of functions, both social and economic.

The space, essentially a large shed, can take on a multitude of public functions beyond train station such as a performance space or market hall.

Former GE Site / Pittsfield Productive Park Pittsfield, MA The former Pittsfield General Electric facility is a critical site in the redevelopment of the Housatonic River system and the Berkshires as a whole. Originally home to the Stanley Electric Company, incorporated in 1885, the facility was responsible for the development of the electric transformer. Following acquisition by the General Electric Company in the early twentieth century, the facility employed more than one third of the Pittsfield population at its peak. The demise of the Pittsfield GE plant is directly attributed to the 1979 Energy Crisis, when the types of transformers the facility was producing exceeded those required for the United Statesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; given their reduced energy demand. Consequently, GE closed the plant in 1985. As such a large percentage of the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy was directly linked to this facility, the results for Pittsfield were cataclysmic and lead to a massive surge of unemployment and exodus from the city. Moreover, due to poor environmental practices during the life span of the facility, the site became heavily contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), a toxic, non biodegradable cooling agent. This lead to the contamination of the 284 acre GE site, as well as the adjacent water table, Silver Lake, and the entirety of the Housatonic River to its point of discharge nearly 200 kilometers south in the Long Island Sound. Though much work has been done since the closure of the plant, including the removal of much of the PCB contaminated soil from both the entirety of the GE site, and the first mile south, the former facility still presents a major socioeconomic void for the territory. Most recently, a proposal has been made to return the site to use as a research and light manufacturing site. Though of potential economic benefit, returning the site to a monofunctional use reinforces the role of the center of the valley to the same fragile exploitation of previous periodizations. In opposition to this monofunctional use of the site, the Productive Park aims to produce a new resilience through diversity of function, and merges economic and social roles for Pittsfield.

Adaptive Reuse/ New Construction Though most of the original buildings from the GE plant were demolished in the 1980s or later due to structural neglect, the existing building stock is impressive, boasting colossal structures that could be used as business incubators and/or cultural space. New office and research buildings can be located on the sites of the demolished structures, referencing the past and marking a new productivity for the Berkshires.

Reuse of Building 100 After the departure of General Electric from Pittsfield, the remaining buildings have been left relatively vacant, and offer potential as sites for business incubators or cultural space. Above is a depiction of the reuse of Building 100, one of the largest on the site. A Saturn V rocket, measuring forty-two meters in length - and for which some parts were fabricated at this plant - is used for scale reference.

A Synergetic Internal Relationship Through the proximity of diverse programs and actors on site, the Pittsfield Productive Park is able to create a spatial network within which these proximity become mutually beneficial. Some of these interdependencies formerly existed on site - one such example being the relation between the power plant and a local paper mill. As a byproduct of power production, excess hot water was generated. This water was diverted along a

defunct canal, and provided a mill with heated water necessary for paper production (right). Here, these mutual proximal benefits could be amplified and better integrated. For example: water from the Housatonic could be used to cool an on-site data farm,the excess heat from this process could be used to heat an adjacent greenhouse, and the biomass waste from the greenhouse could be used as a fuel source at the cogeneration plant.

sea level rise: boston 2012 Harvard Graduate School of Design

Professors: Jerold Kayden, David Barron, Gerald Frug, Daniel Schrag, Charles Waldheim As global temperatures begin to fluctuate more drastically, the risk of sea level rise and more frequent storm surge within urban coastal areas becomes a great risk. After carefully analyzing various strategies for dealing with storm surge, including coastal barriers, and retreat, this solution was based around the notion of a floodable development. This strategy relies upon allowing areas to retain water during times of high precipitation through the creation of: permeable pavement, bioswales, village blues, and semi enclosed areas that could serve as temporary cisterns. In combination with floodable infrastructures such as parking garages, and vehicular tunnels closed during storm events , it would be possible to greatly reduce the load on the sewer system, allowing water to sit until it could be processed at a speed that would not inundate the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water processing capacity.

uli competition 2013 finalist entry Advisor: Anita Berrizbeitia With: James Cody Birkey, Cara Walsh, Andy Wisniewski, and Maynard Leon Hayden The 2013 Hines / Urban Land Institute competition investigated the redevelopment of a district of vacant lots in the center of Minneapolis known as Downtown East. Presently a void in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s center, Downtown East holds the potential to stitch together the adjacent neighborhoods. Our proposal was based upon three major themes: connecitivy, comfort, and ecology. CONNECTIVITY +Filling the void of Downtown East to make a vibrant, complete Downtown District. +Connecting pedestria,n, bike and light rail networks to capitalize on the centralized location of Downtown East. +Bridging existing residental densities with commerce and green streets. COMFORT +Transforming sidewalks into hospitable, comfortable spaces, sheltered by trees and a glass pavilion network, heated in the winter through building heat offset. +Designing passive spaces for enjoyment, specifically through the promenade. ECOLOGY +Densely planting barren streets with Minnesota native trees and prairie grasses. +Creating a matrix of Green and Blue streets, engineering stormwater infrastructure. +Reconnecting Downtown East to the river front.

The phasing of the project is first based upon ensuring that no phase of the project overwhelms the existing market. Early stages of the project are centered around the existing armory, a building which will be converted into a large event space. The second phase creates a connection with the waterfront area, and the final two phases begin to fill in the remaining gaps within the urban fabric.

The streets in the district are based upon providing two types of infrastructure. “Green” streets, running north-to-south provide a buffer from the heavy winds that come from the river, and provide a comfortable alternative to the skyways that dominate downtown Minneapolis. The “Blue” east-west streets are built with permeable paving, taking stormwater to dedicated below-grade sewers. The typical blocks are composed of an interior three-story parking structure.

Incheon, Korea Schematic Design 2010 REX

Developed for the new city of Songdo, Residential Block A4 was slated to be one of the first three projects developed in the city. After much trial and tribulation, the initial concept of devising a single megastructure for the site was redeveloped into a zoning compliant scheme for the 1,961 unit project. The mass is shaped based upon all units receiving cross-ventilation, southern exposure, maximum outward-facing views, and creating minimal self-shading.

Songdo Plot A4 Early Studies | Week One (All work by Rob Daurio for REX, 2010)

Before receiving specific zoning requirements or directives about an approach for the project and from our client in a yet undesigned part of Songdo, we began considering a variety of strategies for developing the block as megastructure. The following are a series of early studies I developed while at REX considering different ways of organizing a predominantly residential block. These ranged from more conventional towers linked by an interconnected ground-level structure, to structures of mixed typologies, to traditional urbanism, to a Sol-Lewitt frame where each member would contain only one apartment and elevator core.

architecture guidelines Fall 2014 - Present A Sustainable Future for Exuma / Harvard Graduate School of Design In tangent to the development of a new land use protocol, A Sustainable Future for Exuma has drafted a series of Architecture Guidelines for The Bahamian island chain. The Architecture Guidelines provide a framework for building homes in the humid climate and aim to drastically decrease building energy input and consumption by reframing the priorities of building design and construction. A ‘priority pyramid’ guides users through the manual. At the foundation of the pyramid are good urban design principles and the sourcing of efficient, low embodied energy materials followed by the choice of proper typology and integration of passive cooling strategies. By framing the priorities in this order, elements such as “green power” which are often the first to be associated with sustainable design, though actually have less to do with the total energy consumption of a project, become less necessary.

briefing documents Fall 2013 - Present A Sustainable Future for Exuma / Harvard Graduate School of Design With Gareth Doherty, Fabio Duarte, Liat Racin The Briefing Documents, developed for the Sustainable Future for Exuma project, have been written order to provide an analysis of key topics and issues in The Bahamas, and to convey this information to both The Bahamian government as well as the general public. The documents include a series of maps, a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;SWOTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; analysis, graphically displayed statistics, and quotes from interviews and news sources, in order to provide a lens into topics including food systems, mobility, energy, waste, water, and climate change.

p des 03 raise chickens Spring 2014 A Sustainable Future for Exuma / Harvard Graduate School of Design With Jose Maria Ortiz-Cotro, Kirby Linck, US Navy Seabees The ‘Raise Chicken’ project was used to demonstrate the “activate” component of the Sustainable Future for Exuma planning process. Instead of relying entirely on top-down planning strategies which could take years before approval and even longer to implement, bottomup projects such as this one could be designed and implemented in a much more condensed time frame. ‘Raise Chickens’ was an education project used to make individuals aware of the possibility of increasing local food resources. In collaboration with the US Navy Seabees, a series of eight chicken coops were designed and constructed at various schools throughout the Exuma island chain in The Bahamas.

bergamobility 2013 Harvard Graduate School of Design Professor: Nashid Nabian

Bergamobility was a project investigated as part of the SmarterCities project, a collaboration between Harvard University and the University of Bergamo. Like many cities throughout the world, Bergamo is a car dominated city. Though it offers many alternative transportation options, the systems operate independently, creating unnecessary efficiencies.

Access to Information/Reservation

Transit Options

WWW

X share

1. At present, mobility in Bergamo is characterized by inefficiency and separation.

2. Bergamobility is a real-time, multi-modal, seamless, and ubiquitous transportation platform.

The inefficiencies of individual citizens and transit agencies making decisions based upon limited access to real-time information about the network as a whole.

It integrates existing infrastructures with new smart technologies that allow users to interact with a dynamic system that caters to their individual needs.

4. Bergamobility is an integrated fare card system.

5. Bergamobility is an interface that actively responds to a userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commuting decisions and optimizes transit options.

3. Bergamobility is a transportation network where all the actors share their real-time information.

What if it was possible to find a way to link the disparate transit options and create an easy to negotiate, user-friendly, multi-modal transportation network? Bergamobility explores this potential.

104

6. The more people travel, the more the system learns. Users may create a profile, input preferred routes, recommend new, time-saving or eco-friend routes, and contribute real-time data on transit conditions.

7. Value can be added to the Bergamobility card via bank account or by performing services for the city.

8. City buses are upgraded to accommodate Bigi bikes and personal ones become mobile distribution hubs.

9. New stations with smart screens react based on proximity to users and their travel preferences.

For example, with a financial incentive (transit fare credits) a citizen may opt to deliver a BiGi (Bergamoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s city) bike to a station that is empty, thus helping the city solve the problem of poor bike distribution and creating a citizen-powered, on demand system.

Bikes on the Mobile Bigi hubs can be unlocked using a smart phone or Universal Bergamobility Pass. The combination of Mobile Hubs and a financial incentive for redistribution will make Bergamo the first city in the world to eliminate the need for truck-based bike share management.

These new stations can provide information for their specific trip or offer alternative travel options.

transformer website www.prada-transformer.com 2008 OMA/2x4

As part of the publicity development for the Prada Transformer project, AMO developed the concept/graphic content for the Transformer website. The architecture directly informs the website; pages are navigated via a rotating simulation of the building which can be further controlled via a scrolling timeline. As content is added to the site, it becomes navigable via a graphic database. While at OMA, I developed the overall site strategy which was ultimately executed by 2x4.

prada dress Milan, print Italy 2008 AMO/PRADA

After a month attempting to establish an appropriate floor pattern for the already existing catwalk layout, all concepts were discarded by Prada. Quite unexpectedly, as the lights dimmed and show commenced, models paraded out, and these “rejected” patterns I designed were found stenciled on several dresses that became part of the collection that season.
