S.MA.R.T. CITY / Conceived as a protoype for a concetrated zone or urban activity along a renewed railroad line, the S.Ma.R.T City brings a piece of Boston to the south shore. These urban collectors would be located at each new railway stop and facilitate a new form of urbanizartion around this communter core. Conceptually influenced by the urban writings of Pier Vitorrio Aureli and Rem Koolhaas this project is situated as a polemical. If urbanization and the expansion of infrasturcture have led to the diffusion and weakening of our city stricture how does reinforcing that condition actually affect change. Is the answer to address previous forms of infrastructure, in this case the railline? Perhaps we simply ride the contemporary capitalistic wave and live with the system of commodity distribution already in place? In reality we should understand that our reading of the scale of the city is drastically distorted. The Northeast itself, from Washington DC to Boston is actually one city, this allows us to strategically infill the weak areas to create a more unified whole, one greater than the sum of its constituent parts.

THE CHICAGO HOUSE Chicago, IL

SPRING 2011 | ACADEMIC Advanced Design Studio Thomas Beeby Yale School of Architecture

THE URBAN CHICAGO GRID 20’ 0” X 125’ 0” TYPICAL BLOCK SIZE

The city of Chicago has demolished vast tracts of high-rise public housing projects. These areas have been redeveloped as low-rise market housing but much of the areas around the projects remain untouched with vacant lots surrounding existing building stock creating problematic urban voids.

PROJECT BRIEF / This studio was tasked to investigate the individual house as a vehicle to resettle the neighborhoods of the city that remain dispirited with the introduction of gentrification as a means to provide stability to low and middle income areas of the city. A single family residence has always been the most desired housing in Chicago and remains the dream of most of its citizens. To provide affordable housing in scattered sites would stabilize the neighborhoods in a manner that does not displace existing residents while simultaneously correcting the problems related to vacant lots in an urban environment.

AEDES ARTS COMPLEX Berlin, Germany

FALL 2011 | ACADEMIC Advanced Design Studio David Chipperfield Yale School of Architecture

PROJECT BRIEF / The Berlin art scene is rapidly exapnding and increasingly cosmopolitan. With affordable rent and ample space Berlin is a very attractive magnet for the emerging artist. The Aedes Arts Complex is an integral part of Berlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artistic renaissance. My task was to take an existing artistic community, one that already houses the likes of Olafur Elliason, and to provide additional studio space able to accommodate a variety of artistic endeavors. The site is part of an old industrial super-block that was bombed during the war and once housed a brewery. Spaces for art, must be at the same time, highly flexible and highly calibrated. The quality of light and scale of space must be be able to accomodate multiple types of art creation. While each individual artisit may have preferences (north and skylight for example) the spaces I am designed are meant to allow for multiple artisits to work for brief periods of time as part of a revolving fellowship program.

PROCESS/ The studioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ambition was to use the same process David employs in his offices. We worked primarily in large model form (1:20m) which allows for greater flexibility when studying the spatial implications of new design options. We used primarily foam-core board and would then apply different printed material textures. It is an analog system of representation - compared to more digital rendering techncologies. The tactile quality of the material and the scale of model emphasize understanding techtonic issues and spatial realities. There was also a requiremnt to photograph these large models and then manipulating the images to emphasize lighting and material.

EXTERIOR / With the majority of the studio space having a western exposure, a sophisticated exterior skin was required to regulate daylight and heat gain. This envelope is a combination of perforated metal screens and translucent ploymer panels. The colorful facade is a direct reference to this complexâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s siganture artist, Olafur Elliason. The color pallette was selected to mediate the industrial brick image that dominates the block and to connote the greenspaces that have filled in the post-war damaged zones.

SWANSEA UNIVERSITY LIBRARY Swansea, Wales, UK

Spring 2012 | ACADEMIC Advanced Design Studio Demetri Porphyrious Yale School of Architecture

PROJECT BRIEF / This project is a library for a new university campus in Swansea, Wales dedicated to science and technology. The campus will be along the coast of the Bristol Channel on a parcel of land gifted to the university from British Petroleum. The library, more than many building types, has evolved drastically in the modern era with the ubiquity of digital databases and wireless networks. The challenge is to design spaces that respect traditional library formal structures but adapt and accommodate contemporary academic and social forces. The first half of the semester was focused on researching and analyizing the library typology and then to chose four precedent buildings to draw (inlcuding a detailed 3d printed model) in more detail. I chose draw the Library at Ephesus, San Vitale at Ravenna, Wren Library at Trinity College and Philips Exeter Academy Library. The goal was use the the knowledge gained by these exercises to inform the actual library design that would take place in the second half of the semester.

ABOVE: DIGITAL MODEL OF WREN LIBRARY WITH 3D PLATIC PRINT PRINT

LIBRARY + CAMPUS The Library complex separates the two major programmtic components (library and lecture theaters) with a large courtyard garden and colonnade between, honoring the organization of the colleges at Oxford and Cambridge while also providing a public garden to the campus. This siting of Library centrally within the campus masterplan emphasizes the need for the Library to operate similar to a tranist hub, acting as both a collector and distributor. Students must be able to permeate through the ground level, which I have designed as a public loggia, but also isolate themselves in the upper levels of the Library to read, research and write. The Library also acknowledgs and accepts certain site lines while also providing a pyramidical momunent memorializing the new campus as well as anchoring the cental plaza. Opposite the complex there is a cubic market pavilion within the large orchard grove, these platonic geometeries are meant to reinforce basic mathematical principles and along with the use of square and golden ration proportions which proliferate the project in both plan and section.

EIGHT DAYS IN THE BRITISH COUNTRYSIDE A Travel Sketchbook

Spring 2012 | ACADEMIC 4223 History of British Lansdscape Architecture Bryan Fuermann Yale School of Architecture

The Drawing Project: Our trip to England in March offered a chance to challenge the ubiquity of control that the digital camera has over student travelers. The infinite storage offered by digital photography, means that much of the students experience abroad is framed behind a camera’s lens and thus further removed from reality. Numerous pictures are taken, some are sorted and posted, but rarely are they ever analyzed or thoughtfully considered after the initial aperture closes. The hand, along with its critical capability, has too long been rendered dormant. It is for these reasons that for my seminar project I created a book of drawings. Inspired by Laurie Olin’s great publication “Across the Open Field: Essay’s Drawn from English Landscapes,” I have produced a visual record of my eight days in the British countryside and sadly was only able to capture a fraction of what I saw - volume two will be coming soon.

THE GEOMETRY OF LOUIS I. KAHN WITH ERIC ZAHN

Spring 2012 | ACADEMIC 3214 - Construction of Exactitude Karla Britton Yale School of Architecture

PROJECT / Most of the scholarship on Kahn focuses on the metaphyical and not the analytical. This avoids the more formal connections Kahn has with the classical tradition vis-a-vis his Beaux-Arts training. We endeavored to organize and analyze Kahnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s built work in order to more accurately place in within the classical tradition and identify a previously underexamined area of his work.

FINAL / The major component of the final project was to chronologically document and analyze Kahn’s built work. We used a base floor plan (sometimes he preferred to use the reflected ceiling plan) and then proceeded to identify the underlying proportional structures at work. The final board size was 42” x 120” with all the projects at the same scale.

TORRE MACRO TOWER Process to analyze curtain wall panel planarity in a complex free form surface. (8 august 2011)

SOFTWARE: Rhino 4 (evolute tools plugin – base demo module – http://www.evolute.at ) Rhino 5 (paneling tools plugin – on network)

PROCESS: STAGE 1: CREATING A BASE GRID 1. (rhino 5) Take half the footprint curve (torre macro is bilaterally symmetrical) and leave the curve at the base of surface). 2. Use ‘measure’ command. Set interval to the desired panel interval (1m) and create points. 3. Draw lines on the exterior from those points normal to the base surface, Use ‘line:surface normal’ command from ‘lines’ toolbar. These will be the vertical mullions after they are projected onto the surface, 4. Offset base curve to the interior (far enough to overlap the base surface in plan. 5. Extend radiating lines to the offset interior base curve (far enough to overlap the surface in plan view. 6. Project lines onto surface from plan view. 7. Contour the surface with the desired floor to floor heights (3.9m). STAGE 2: CREATING A PANEL SYSTEM 1. (rhino 5 – paneling tools) Use the ‘create paneling grid / intersect grid of curves) follow command prompts.This generates a three- dimensional point grid. There will probably be some holes around the boundaries. 2. Manually add remaining points at grid intersection. 3. (This point grid can be used to generate a quick paneling system with the paneling tools. However, the panels can be offset from each point. *I didn’t cross reference these surfaces from the final to verify any discrepancies) 4. Use this point grid to manually draw four-point surfaces in areas of concern. 5. *Grasshopper should be able to generate surfaces from this point grid, if points are sorted properly. Under study now. 6. Save as Rhino 4 file. STAGE 3: ANALYZING SURFACE PLANARITY 1. Create mesh from surfaces. Mesh / From NURBS Control Polygon 2. Join mesh. Mesh / Mesh Boolean / Union 3. Evolute Tools. etAnalyzePlanarity. This shows range of surface deformation. 4. The default setting shows the ‘max range’ of surface deformation in the units of the project. This is measured from the surface/ panel’s centroid so the total deformation across the whole panel is 2x this number. 5. Manually override the range with the specific tolerance for a given project. Torre Macro is using a 4cm acceptable bending tolerance of a double-glazed glass panel so input a 2cm range. 6. Manually adjust each mesh pane point to respond accordingly until each panel falls within a given toler ance. 7. Check the final mesh against the max range. The max should be under the desired tolerance.
