2 FOREIGN PROGRAM, FAMILIAR TERRITORY, IDENTITY CRISIS. A BATHHOUSE IN THE DINKYTOWN DISTRICT OF MINNEAPOLIS

Bathspace explores the bath typology and the state of the public recreation building in the city today. It draws upon historical and regional context and utilizes qualities of post-industrial Minneapolis to challenge notions of how a foreign program may ﬁt into the daily social life of Dinkytown, a university neighborhood. In the winter city of Minneapolis, indoor public space is crucial to the functioning of the city for most of the year. The intervention suggests a porous open ﬂoor that extends the circulation of the street into the interior. Voids and extrusions throughout the building help build the relationship of the intervention with its surrounding context by showcasing the sounds of the city, visual glimpses of surrounding activity, views of the downtown skyline, and the sounds of the interior spaces, allowing the visitor both a personal experience and an understanding of their position within the larger urban and regional context. The element of duration is examined through a range of spaces from the long durational private baths, to the public pools which my be accessed for shorter durations, to the lobby, a space that may act as a thoroughfare and a shortcut across the city block. The bike tunnel serves the public street as a connection point from the corner to the Dinkytown greenway below, offering a quick glimpse of the inner workings of the bath and acting as an infrastructural element to the city. Steam is explored as both a byproduct of the bath and as a historical aspect of the local area. The southeast steam plant has generated steam since the late 1800s, supplying the neighborhood and campus through an extensive network of tunnels. The project utilizes the heat from the tunnels for the operations of the bath. Bathspace suggests an extension of the community indoors, perhaps to provide a new non-commercial public program in contrast to the ever commercializing area. It proposes an intervention that is rooted in its regional site and the activist spirit of local population.

ADDRESSING THE EUROPEAN MIGRATION AND URBAN HOUSING CRISIS WITH A PARED-DOWN INFILL INTERVENTION IN NØRREBRO, COPENHAGEN

Afloatt examines the European Migration Crisis in the context of Nørrebro Copenhagen. It proposes a micro apartment building housing students and asylum seekers attempting to provide a future for new migrants in the city and develop a youth culture that can be supportive of the population, all to build a surrounding community that is more accommodating. Afloat proposes a project that counters the refugee camp model in hopes of integrating newcomers directly in their neighborhoods and introducing dignity to their housing situations. The intervention is made up on two membranes, a metal panel facade that serves as an outer membrane, a screen for interior courtyards and balconies, that ﬁlters the light to the interior membrane, and an inner membrane of walls of curtain wall glass that provide views to other parts of the building and the outside. The outer membrane features operable louvers which allow for variation of light quality in the building creating a dynamic facade, displaying the personality and life of the building, and contrasting the monolithic surrounding context of traditional stone apartment buildings and mid century housing blocks. Courtyards and balconies cut in between the micro apartment units to introduce light into the center of the building and allow residents to see each other in semi-public zones that become interesting moments of interaction across levels. The lobby is fully transparent to the surrounding community and serves as a center for the neighborhood, providing greater public functionality and interaction with street. Students and asylum seekers utilize the same spaces and work together to build a safe zone. The project hopes to initiate new ideas about appropriately scaled solutions to this massive global issue speciﬁcally tailored for dense cities, that can be more personalized, and help better connect migrants to natives in established European cities.

SCALE UP: INSTITUTION AS VILLAGE UG ADVANCED STUDIO 05: DAYLIGHTING FALL 2016 PROF. MARY GUZOWSKI

ART MAKING AND INCUBATOR SPACE IN WHITTIER, MINNEAPOLIS. EXAMINING DAYLIGHTING IN THE PUBLIC SQUARE “To apparently everybody’s satisfaction, the abandoned industrial space has become art’s default preference” - Rem Koolhaas

Scale Up envisions a collection of diverse, yet integrated parts, a series of studios, galleries, and other art production spaces playing upon the existing non-hierarchical site aspects of this lot south of the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. The intervention proposes an anchor to the South side of the campus, which counters the monolithic structures by proposing a collection of smaller buildings under a flexible circulation space covered by a skin, a steel and ETFE panel enclosure that assembles the ‘kit of parts’ into a single distinct institution building. The enclosure exists as a cohesive element tying all of the smaller buildings together under an indoor and outdoor canopy of urban space. The smaller building parts provide a series of spaces of varying proportion, materiality, and position that provide a backdrop to the production of art that may suggest new opportunities to the artist. Rather than ignoring the intervention’s position and context and reinforcing Koolhaas’ suggestion, each sub-building features openings to the outside and within the interstitial public space indoors, allowing program to spill out, and a visual preview for passerby of the activity inside. It counters the qualities of the other campus structures which turn themselves away from the neighborhood. It produces opportunities for flexible inside-outside spaces, and regulates day-lighting, and entry. A few elements perforate through the skin, including a tower, oriented towards the city as a relationship between the village scale of the surrounding eclectic neighborhood, the institution of the school and museum, and the city beyond. The proposal suggests that art and the public space have a symbiotic relationship that is vital to each other’s effectiveness. Seasonally, the building changes character, as the boundary between outside and inside is in flux from winter, where the building can take on an opaque demeanor with a clear interior boundary to the summer when the enclosure skin appears to be a light canopy, and programs filter out effortlessly into the surrounding landscape.

BUS SHELTER INFRASTRUCTURE AS URBAN THEATER, INFILL INTERVENTION IN WHITTIER, MINNEAPOLIS CONNECTING TWO IMPORTANT STREETS.

ACTIVITY SECTION - 3/8” SCALE PHYSICAL MODEL + COLLAGE

Scale Down: Bus Stop, Block Party, expands on Scale Up by examining the residential scale’s connection to urban infrastructure. In a primarily residential neighborhood of Whittier, Minneapolis, Scale Down proposes an infill infrastructure project, using spaces in between existing residential structures, while breaking down traditional notions of property lines and zoning. It envisions an infrastructure that moves beyond the utilitarian bus shelter. By extending the bus shelter into the urban block and into the space between two existing turn-of-the-century apartment buildings, Scale Down serves as a interstitial space to activate a connection between a local neighborhood street and the main street of the bus route. It reveals an urban theater: gathering and event spaces for use between a large urban street and a quiet residential road. The intervention is constructed from materials that can easily disassembled and reassembled in other locations and configurations to fit different infill conditions across the neighborhood. The project exhibits how Infrastructure can be linked to the institutions in a neighborhood, introducing satellite programming that can enhance the relationship between various stakeholders. It also suggests that infrastructure can change due to the needs of the neighborhood and be a participatory driving force in the creation of the city. Ultimately it interrogates the very notion of ownership in the city and proposes that infrastructure can be community initiated and playful, much like a neighborhood Block Party.

EXCERPTS FROM INDEPENDENT RESEARCH PROJECT ADVISORS: RASMUS FRISK, ARKI_LAB. W/ DANIELA SANDLER, UMN SPRING 2016, COPENHAGEN, DK

THROUGH A SERIES OF INTERVIEWS, CASE STUDIES, NEIGHBORHOOD PROFILES, AND EXPLORATIONS, DESIGNED INFRASTRUCTURE: LESSONS FROM COPENHAGEN URBAN DESIGN, EXAMINES THE SYMBIOTIC CONNECTION BETWEEN THE CITY AND URBAN FABRIC IN COPENHAGEN. IT EXAMINES BOTH EXCELLENT AND POOR EXAMPLES OF ARCHITECTURE AND URBAN DESIGN STRATEGIES. THE RESEARCH WAS COMPILED INTO A DIGITAL MAGAZINE.

DESIGNED INFRASTRUCTURE

D. Interviews

Excerpts from Digital Magazine Articles: A. Architecture with a Capital A “Copenhagen has an abundance of projects that are pushing the envelope on architectural form, but because of the needs of the city, these projects must be able to connect with the surrounding urban fabric. As one of the first new developments, in the Islands Brygge Neighborhood, the Gemini Residences are constructed from former grain-silos hearkening back the area’s industrial past. The project is an exemplary look at adaptive re-use capabilities to reinvigorate the harbor region, however, the building’s design has caused many issues with regard to its relationship to its urban context. The building is suspended away from the street, the entrances are small and hidden from view, and there is lack of benches, seating, or any urban strategy. The building’s lack of connection has spurred controversy and a change in the laws governing harbor side development: Usable Public space is now a requirement for buildings developing along the harborfront” “The redevelopment of Norreport Station takes into account the historical importance of the site in its design aesthetic as well as its strategic planning as a major transit hub for the city. The project focuses on the existing entrances to trains which could not be moved during the design of the new above ground portion. The designers mapped current walking and biking paths to and from the entrances, utilizing the spaces in between these circulation zones for new programming including a store, ticket agency, and restrooms. The project subsequently becomes a simple design solution, producing a landmark which interacts with the existing urban fabric.

‘Nordhavn is learning from the mistakes made in Sluseholmen, it’s the new direction of Copenhagen development’ - Ulrik Nelson, Gehl Architects

C+D

B. Shared and Separated Spaces “Bryggebroen is a car-free bridge constructed to link the Fisketorvet Area with the Islands Brygge neighborhood during the area’s redevelopment in the early 2000s. The design features a path for walking and biking path in both directions, with a 1 meter tall median that separates the two modes of transportation. Unlike the Langeliniebro bridge, this design does not allow for a casual pass between different levels of transportation speed. What results is somewhat of a pedestrian and cycling super highway, which does the opposite of its intension, in that it makes the trip across hostile to pedestrians at the two entrances. The median also does not allow for correcting mistakes if biking down the wrong path which results in collisions between bikers who are traveling at too great of a speed and pedestrians that are confused.”

C. Future Urbanism “Jeanette Frisk, partner at Arki_Lab suggests that we need to design cities with people, not just cities for people and the new wave of Copenhagen development is the question of how to we make buildings that are more flexible and adaptable to new uses. She suggests a transition from the masterplan point-of-view to a master process perspective which suggests that there should be a framework in how to develop spaces from the ground up that can be flexible over time. User involvement is key to this and the future of Copenhagen. Arki_Lab focuses its attention to how people can take direct action in their neighborhoods at the smallest scale.”

BRYGGEBROEN

NORREPORT STATION BIKES

Copenhagen is one of the leading cities considering both an urban design strategy and an urban planning outlook. The city is continuing to reach further into a more livable, Eco-friendly, and socially cohesive environment for its citizens. Other cities can learn a great deal from the ideas explored in Copenhagen urban design and architecture: how to focus on the people-scale, getting rid of major automobile traffic,connecting buildings to their surrounding landscape in a more symbiotic fashion, and integrating more nature into urban environments. Copenhagen is a model for cities around the world. However, it must also continue to be introspective and critical about its direction. In the coming years Copenhagen will undoubtedly continue to innovate to retain its title as a city for people.
