THESIS PROJECT: THE RISE UP OF THE COLLAPSED CITY Aleppo Syria Advisor: Eric Owen Moss

THE RISE UP OF THE COLLAPSED CITY Architecture and War Aleppo Syria Advisor: Eric Owen Moss

"Architecture and war are not incompatible. Architecture is War is Architecture I am at war with my time , with history ,with all the authority that resides "

I Declare war on all icons, on all

histories" LEBBEUS WOOD

"tomorrow, we begin the construction of a city"

There is always a story, and there is always an Author. War is The Author. The Author of the Rise up of the Architecture of new city that was destroyed by the tragedy of War. Syria, a country with a History, A history that no one can deny. Aleppo one of the oldest cities in the world, The War is over. And it is the time to build the city the way it was supposed to be. After war buildings will became ruins, ruins that witnessed wounds of thousands. So What does it look like to start over? And how the new city should look like?

"Tory that must not be denied, in their damaged states they suggest new forms of thoughts and comprehension, and suggest new conceptions of space that confirm the potential of human to integrate itself"

Lebbeus wood

And the flower should grow over the city , The original city is destroyed, we can never go back to that city, but after the war , the memories of it should not be deleted , The Old city is now a museum, a memorial museum to remember the tragedy of the war. The first layer of the city after the war :bridges over the ruins, A human experience that Takes throughout time and memories , nothing is demolished , the past is there , you can see it but you can't be there. We can always see what happen during the war by creating a GRID of bridges over the old city of Aleppo where people can see what the war cause but they cant touch it they can feel it but can't reach it. The second Layer is the Ruins that witnessed a huge deconstruction that has a metaphorical reading for Its History before that war, We see it but we don't know it, and sometimes we know it but we don't see it. The Third is the new city Underground, it is the future.The future where you can't see the past . a city that we see it but we don't know it, and sometimes we know it but we don' t see it Because of the city visual experience that takes you through the Time.

ALEPPO, SYRIA "Tory that must not be denied, in their damaged states they suggest new forms of thoughts and comprehension, and suggest new conceptions of space that confirm the potential of human to integrate itself, to be whole and free outside of any predetermined, totalizing system. The new spaces of habitation constructed on the existed ". Lebbeus Wood Architecture and War War is the author of a new architecture a new urbanism that create a new city a city with no grid , a ground with no order , an order like no other, where we inhabit it. the time comes, rebuilding and reconstructing the collapsed to rise up the city where The ruins become the Author of a new ground. The project is to create layers of cities over the old Aleppo. The War is over. And it is the time to build the city the way it was supposed to be. After war buildings will became ruins, ruins that witnessed wounds of thousands. So What does it look like to start over? And how the new city should look like?

Los Angeles Courthouse Instructor: Elena Manferdini Partner with: James Kubiniec

Location: DownTown Los Angeles Project Area: 9000 SF Project Type: Courthouse Politics of the envelope Political activity of Architecture The envelope works and attempts to find a domain that speaks about architecture but also speaks about architecture in a very political manner. Precisely by reflecting architecture it attempts to receive equality with its environment by politically engaging with diversity through the lens of self-reflection. By separating the regimes of how the building operates tectonically and how it is perceived optically, the position of operating at a global scale of value is blurred through refractions and reflections that splice into each other, shaping the visual politics of the envelope as clothing companies continue to shape the appearances of the everyday. Just the notion of a courthouse in one of two metropolis epicenter of the USA speaks largely as a political gesture in a very pivotal time the eve of the 2016 Presidential election. The world is systematically repositioning its boarders on a horizon of ever-changing worldwide politics. Therefore, a political stance of the envelope to invest a political stance is ever more important as a form of representation not only as technological tool, or environmental but as a backbone of the justice system of the United States as a whole. In the last few years the surface of the envelope in architecture has become a very debated issue. The surface effects, patterns, systems of construction and the massing of the building have a direct relationship. The aspect ratio of the envelope, sum of the parts that make up the facade and roof, relates directly to the mirrored rule of the enclosure.

the project is based on the collision between objects and images in the production of architectural form. The final project was the design of an Annex to the Bibliotheque Sainte-Genevieve in Paris. which was a development of techniques to extract site information. by combining site-specific geometries .as a new form of weird contextualism The project focuses on concepts of layering, porosity and transparency. There is a hierarchy established through three autonomous layers of paneling and three levels of porosity. we explored multiple readings of transparency and opacity through louvers, carvings and glass. we started to address the context by taking images of the surrounding buildings on the site including the Pantheon, St. Genevieve and St. Etienne. We then created a collage of these images to produce the figure of the Annex. By playing with how images overlap and intersect.

also i created extrusions and cavities within the form. We tilted the mass at 50 degrees to move the cylindrical form off the ground plane into the air and mirrored the mass in order to take advantage of the more prominent elevations. A form with animalistic qualities to disrupt the grid of the site. The change in axis breaks the linearities of surrounding context and is designed to disrupt the elevations and horizontality of the adjacent buildings. A cantilever that protrudes out and over the sidewalk below serves as the main amphitheater that overlooks the street. It is a public plaza-like space with an open interior that is permeable in its usage. The louvers were derived from a distorted image of the coffers inside the dome of the pantheon. Further manipulated to extract shapes and the use of color and brightness to develop the three layers which are projected onto the Annex. Each color from the image translates into a single layer of paneling. There is a clear hierarchy as well as moments of overlap. Elevation

The same image is also used to create porosity within the form. The reading of the brightness and contrast produces carvings at varying Depths - the darker the squares, the deeper the carvings. The deepest carvings translate into glass, which produce porosity and patterning at various moments in the mass. The pores are distributed as continuous linear strips that are read in conjunction with the Layering of the louvers. In moving from image to tectonics, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve developed various layers of transparency mediated through louvers, transparency mediated through micro-porosity of the carvings and full transparency mediated through sheets of glass. The accumulating layers produce multiple readings of the Annex and play between the lines of true opacity and true transparency.

The digital era serves to expand the replication and distribution of information but also highlights the fragility of knowledge and memory. In this Class the focus was on conceptualize the limitations as well creative opportunities arising once the world is described and understood trough data respresentations aimed to feed machine logics and artificial intelligence rather then human intellect, data .various data was used to capture techniques, such as 3d laser scanning, lidar, infrared scanning, photogrammetry and robotic image capture, to extract, process and translate information from SCI_Arc store and translate it to the project . an extensive library of 3d point clouds and associated stock footage was built to achieve this building as an extension for the sci_arc supply store. This will be the building material to construct a spatial narrative playing in a new space with an altered timeline

Evaluation and design making decision process:

Most of the structural challenges faced with this project have been with the reflective carbon fiber fins and how they are structured to stand 200+â&#x20AC;&#x2122; off the ground and how the louvers can be braced laterally without obstructing interior views or the overall desired aesthetic quality of the exterior appearance. Establishing a harmony, a rhythm with the structure in an efficient manner not only enabled spans to be larger but it also reduced the cost at least 10% by choosing steel instead of concrete. We were advised that structurally we could have chosen concrete which would be typical in most cases for a building that is square as such, however since the height of the F2F is actually 14 the chosen structure is steel because of its combination with the multicore lateral stability core system of four cores at the corners of two triangular voids in the building. The multicore system also assists for ease in distribution, lightweight construction, and long span floor framing. The floor plan also poised a challenge, however the challenge was solved with a system that allows for a regular grid which is optimal for unified steel depths. Pros to this system include cost, consistency, and bigger allowable floor to floor ceilings heights. Below grade concrete framing is acceptable because it is durable, a denser column grid is acceptable and it allows theswiss cheese, punctured voids in the elevated ground topography to be shaped. The secondary steel framing allows for longer spans, lightweight regular rhythm and is also more cost effective than concrete columns. Concrete slab on metal deck, concrete stability cores, and a thickening of a slab at the ground level, tie together at a transfer slab to alleviate the load upon a much more substantial below grade parking garage. a.Structural system: The identified structural system is very typical for a building of this size and interior simplicity. The Secondary Structure and Tertiary structural systems become a little more complex with innovated solutions that have been identified with the floor slab connection to the Chrome finished carbon fiber fins that radiate around this central LA courthouse. The solution involves added upon structural stand-offs and a catwalk for cleaning and mechanical accessibility for this system have been added to each floorplate to handle the stresses the fins undergo with various environmental factors such as wind, twisting, vibrations, earthquakes, and the aging exposed reflective materials to sunlight.

b.Environmental systems, MEP: One of the several critical conditions that the MEP addresses is environmental sustainability through the usage of passive and active environmental systems on both the interior and the exterior of the courthouse. The interior systems include vents located low in the building to bring in cool outside fresh air and convectively current the cool air through the courtrooms, offices, cafeteria, etc, and direct it to a central atrium, upwards and out with the natural rise of warm air. The control of the courtrooms themselves is an Active system that is regularly controlled with the usage of 4 HVAC systems each handling one quarter of the buildings sensitive rooms. The four systems, IT and Electrical rooms, and Acoustically treated STC 40-60 rated walls assist the building to be a comfortable and controlled environment. The density and proximity of the exterior reflective fins act to effectively shade the building 90% of the year. Effort is made to elevate these fins from the ground level on top of a plinth, so as not to directly reflect back to ground level to directly avoid any specific hot spots or sun reflections that could become very unpleasant or dangerous to traffic passing by at ground level.

MATERIALS AND FINISHES The systemds in regards to aesthetic chooses environmentally conscious materials to achieve the desired affect as efficiently as possible. For example, the fins do more than just provide aesthetic looks. They shade the building during 90% of the year, also finished with a chrome finish to aesthetically hold a morielle effect of reflection. The glass is panalized as lightly as possible to retain a transparent desired quality that enhances the overall aesthetics. The frameless glass yeilds a overall sheet effect which when applied with a printed texture it is read as one consistant glass wall floating within a field of reflective fiber glass fins.

PROJECT:

FIBER GLASS

UNITED STATES FEDERAL COURTHOUSE Los Angeles, California USA

PROS OF FIBER GLASS:

ADDRESS: OWNER:

1-Fiberglass is a strong lightweight material and is used for many products. 2- FiberGlass can be painted in a reflective material finishes . 3-good thermal insulation properties. 4-Fiberglass has a high strength to weight ratio, making it useful for the production of products 5-Its bulk strength and weight are also better than many metals, and it can be more readily molded into complex shapes.

This material is primarily chosen because it can be thinly shaped and treated with a desired reflective finish. Fiberglass a type of fiber-reinforced plastic . The glass fiber may be randomly arranged, flattened into a sheet The glass fibers are made of various types of glass depending upon the fiberglass use. These glasses all contain silica or silicate, To be used in fiberglass, glass fibers have to be made with very low levels of defects. Beside their function to control light conditions the moving lamellas create animated patterns on the facade

NATURAL VENTILATION

SOLA NATURAL TION:

VENTILA-

Natural ventilation is the process of supplying air to and removing air from an indoor space without using mechanical systems. When wind hits the windward facade, it creates a positive pressure on the facade. Similarly, as it flows away from the leeward facade, a region of lower pressure will be created. If windows are open in the building on both the windward and leeward side, air will be forced through the building, because of the pressure difference between the openings

NATURAL DAYLIGHTING

the project is having many layers to avoid the sun direct light and avoiding the heat. the first layer is the reflected fence which made from a fiberglass. the next layer is the glass facade which works as a first skin of the building. After that, there is another layer of glass.

The Animate Image Image manipulation: Instructor: Caesy Rehm

What is the status of animation in architecture?

Pixels and data manipulation: the animate image. The animate image Introduces a novel idea about patio-temporal construction and representation. No longer tethered to the dominant domains of perspective or orthographic projection, The animate image has opened up a black hole in between the familiar terrains of cinematic space on one end and the still life on the other. Time in itself isn't really the difference. The difference at stake is the kind of physics being simulated in relation to time. The former idea of animate form occupied the simulated space of real-world physics and projectiles; things colliding with other things; Projection as force in relation to volume, mass, and time. Like television, the animate image is a complete technological break from its predecessor. Has its own physics, One that is alien to full comprehension by humans (or any other objects for that matter). The physical space of the animate image is bounded Not by the frame of an interface screen (like painting, photography, or even film) but by an interface and the vast network of data it sources and operates through.

A MAN FROM THE COUNTRY WHERE NO ONE ELSE LIVES: What you see is not what you get. What you get isn’t what you see. What you get isn’t what you thought you understood. ” ERIC OWEN MOSS” An interesting argument about the Conceptual Strategy of the reality and illusion. And how is it Related to art and architecture? Especially the Modern architecture. The World is a mysterious place, we understand things differently. But as we move into it, We Discover the essence of things thought looking seeing and understanding the form, the Shape and the meaning. What we see as a meaning Is not what we thought we understand and what it means is not Really what we see. From cubism, Deconstruction to modernism, the Architectural role begin , and The Relationship between architecture and seeing the form and the shape of things or buildings Become clearer. Moving forward to seeing and understanding, and how is it related to the culture? When one culture attack another culture, a new architectural era emerge. Where the history should be not exist anymore but it will always be.And a new way of seeing and understanding it begin.

James Stirling "History Faculty in Cambridge University" Modernist Architecture in 1960 invented a new rule of design, Architecture as an art was replaced as an abstract architecture, where the form was detected by the function. And the way of architectural ideas were made different. The building use has changed, and served as a conceptual architecture. From Philip Johnson's work, which was a simulacrum of Mies van Der Rohe, to James Stirling Where he is his Own Authorship, his work Represent his own personality as a designer. his architecture were acting as a language that has its own vocabulary, the architect idea has a significant development of a new one as a reputation. His way has more to do with technologies, the way of James Striling design is very straightforward, and not only that but also the way of describing his drawings is also very clear. As in his Project "History Faculty in Cambridge University" where Uniformity and ambiguity were the main concept of the design. Horizontal elements of this building are reduced, the building is surprisingly small, it is abstract and contextual,. The faculty has a trapped roof as a book stacks shape. It is one of the most significant contemporary buildings in the 20 century. Where the building was able to act as a conceptual architecture.

Robert Venturi "The idea of such a no-functionalism is opposed to the respective no-rationalist and neoRealist positions in the sense that they have developed isolated fragments of the Original doctrine and, in this way, have eliminated the complex contradictions inherent in Functionalism" Peter Eisnmen Forms follow Function, or Function follow form ? a theory that is articulated in what could be called the Functionalism of Modern Architecture. The form of the building should 'be dictated on what goes inside, Modern building should be Simplify where an ornament should be eliminated completely and the building Form becomes simple. On the other hand, entering the era of Post modernism, a new movement of neo functionalism Appears, represented by neo_ functionalism., Where Complexity, Ambiguity, temporarily and abstraction became it's merely Symbol . Modern architecture as an obsession, become as a kind of formalism which made itself into an Implicit statement. With a Unique style. Moving to the metaphorical function and form, where venture sees it as a modern code where Some building can be seen and interpreted as mixed metaphors of any kind of elements or even animals. Like The duck Building in Vegas Venturi one of The Most famous architect who starts from the position That architecture should be seen as a metaphorical language, Where Architecture became as a language, that can be Seen and interpreted .

Awkwardness in the character of Pile cities Instructor: Marcelyn Gow First of all I would like to define the Character as the distinguishing features and the distinctive representation of every single object and individuals, and as Joseph alshuler mentioned about the character in his text twelve reasons to get in character just because you are a character doesn't mean that you have character, and just because you have character doesn't mean that you are character" So the question is where can character be classified as a personal character and associated character? Beside joseph alshuler definition of character and to get a deep understanding about the word character in architecture, I would like also to include another definition as in the text of Marcelyn Gow and Florencia pitan characterizing the character where Marcelyn described the character when she said that the nuance of the word character it self, considering the difference between character as a sign in a text, and the character as a figure within a story and something that is endowed with the character in the form of distinguishing features, and the distinctive representation of every single object and individuals Marcelyin also described the character of the work of Florencia pita in the project that it took a place in 2014 in long island city in New york Baloon Frame& Bloom as a series of figures that it has it unique character, and as reminiscent of large parade balloons that are designed to form passageways within the PSI courtyard, where the result of this project was two dimensional and three dimensional readings and characters. Where in Balloon frame the character was derived from the vibrant coloration and line work of chromatic colors in architecture, and this work was called two female visionaries in architecture magazine because it has a special character starting from the character of the forms of this project ending in the character of its design. proposal of Peter trummer. So What is it like to have a character? What distinguishing features or qualities characterize the character? And how to characterize the proposal of Peter Trummer for Pile City in the downtown Los Angeles area , which is the one of the largest and most talked about cities in the world. In a process of architectural indivuation within the city when the ground where the standing building become part of the architecture, and the urban expansion was horizontal, in contrast , Peter trummer proposal that took a place in the sci-arc vertical studio in Pile city and new urbanism specifically in the Los Angeles area where Peter disciplinary was to approach and the aggregated figure and its unfolded ground , and He discusses form not as a means of representation but as an investigation into the dynamics, material circumstances, and organizational patterns.

Finaly this paper will also address the relationship between awkwardness and the awkwardness of the character of the pile city . And to move forward my question is does the awkwardness in architecture has its own characters? What is the relationship between Awkward and the character of the pile city By Peter trummer? Can awkward be related to modern urbanism and city piling? To answer these questions First of all I would like to include an example of what is awkwardness as Andrew zago mentioned in his text"Awkward position When he said that the awkward may help define fertile territory for new architecture, it that finds the tradition display of such expertise, the awkward can deflect and redefine the architects traditional range of instrumental control. also Zago points out in his text, that awkward is something that does not appear to operate normally. In my opinion I would like to disagree with this definition because awkward in architecture and city planning for me is adding a new unusual character, On the other hand can character be classified as Personal character and associated character? Moving forward peter Trummer classify the of the pile into two classification: 1- the character of the pile city. 2- the architectural idea of the pile. Firstly: The character of the pile cities: is the where he said that Geometry and character in modern architecture tries to make abstract geometry, but before that geometry can make a character. And this would become the character of the geometry. And the article goes with the two tensions in the twenty-century that was between the abstract form in geometry like cube, and things that it should looks like something by being a character.

So Trummer intention in pile city that when he he used geometry and by piling it, these geometry looks like something but dosen't resemble like a character, where he described that the character means that we can recognize a figure, cause a character In order to read something as character we read it as a line of figuration, In conclusion for that, when in pilling, something because of the geometry get so stuck that it look like something but its not , and you have to see it when its not there but its there. Secondly: the architectural idea of the pile : is that every building usually is an extrusion of the ground, because it has only one door, but the idea of the pile is that every building become another part of the other building because every pile building has another two doors, so in in order of the building to be in a relation to the pile it is always need to touch the other building , and become a part of it . But the Architectural problem is what if the building turns its idealness of being an extrusion of the ground. Because every single building suddenly become the ground because its not the door , and it is above the ground. I strongly believe that Piling changes the inherent idea of the building because it is not by Gehry and replacing that horizontal expansion of the city in a vertical as piling. The twenty-one century metropolis where a new phenomena emerge by virtue the of the excising building where the relationship between these buildings and the ground is no longer important where Trummer was addressing in his proposal on how might the city look when its architecture has lost any formal relation to its ground. and that future cities, instead of having a horizontal expansion throughout an urban carpet and following an endless grid of user interface address city cloud earth Alternative design and Futuristic parallel boulevards, will expand vertically. The city density throughout the figure of the pile constitutes. So what Trummer refering to as a piled city object This idea serves to illustrate the interest in the interplay of aggregation and objects in the discourse of the city. Moving forward with this Proposal , I strongly believe that it would definitely require further consideration. For instance, there may be factors that would prevent this radical expansion that speculates on combination of verticals horizontal, and diagonal Expansion, in term of awkwardness such relationship to the ground, the legibility and the coherent of the masses. I disagree with the Pile City proposals because I think that there should be a relationship between Pile City and the idea of the awkward position outlined by Andrew Zago in his text Awkward Position. As he defined the awkward as a stand in peculiar relation to the correct Although Awkward can appear in Peter Trummer proposal as it appears in the top heavy massing, the illegibility of the masses and the its relation, incongruent stacking and pilling of parts So Pile City has an awkward character and position due to its use of Such as the heavy massing, incongruent stacking of parts. Etc

Pile city vertical studio taught by Peter Trumme, .and done by student ziad ashur

On the other hand and as Zago points out in his text about awkwardness when he said that the awkward is something that does not appear to operate normally So after that Despite contemporary attempts to promote novel forms of architectural in moving away from more historical forms of architectural character I would like to argue about the idea of erasing the excising character of the city , And my question is what happened to the old architecture and urbanism and what is the Relationship between these pile city and the ground? What is the new urbanism? And how these pile cities can produce new territory and a new urbanism? Where I think that the new urbanism should keep some of the features of the tradition architecture and some of the classical designs in contrast of what trummer is suggesting. And I would also want to argue that we should not completely erase the existing character of the city and create an overt awkwardness through the vertically oriented expansion of the city. Rather I would argue for maintaining the horizontal expansion of the city. Because these masses will not have coherent with other masses and other building, because they are not eligible in their character. Although, I think that there should be an Essential logic on how we subdivide the earth, and how we subdivide lands. Where I think that it should be horizontal and diagonal subdivision, regarding to the new demands., and all of this can be done Using Urban software and Contemporary computation geometric, that can produce complex urbanism , and the result will be a Legible and more effective urbanism with a city that maintain its old character.,Although Trummer's proposal didn't explain the new demands of these new cities in the new era. because every era has its own demands due to the changes in climates, cultures and so on,. Where the questionis what is the Futurity of urban modernism? Another reason why I argue with Trummer's proposal is the sustainability aspect of the pile city. Where they might be sustainable but he didn't mention that in his proposal.Where due to the Huge city expansion, and due to the Climate change. we can find an other solution rather than piling .Not only he sustainable aspect but also In my opinion it would be more convenience if peter trummer could include in his studies researches about New structure and new material but not adding awkwardness to the entire cities , By Keeping the historical phase but in a new post of modernism urbanism Dense and awkward cities in our planet. So the question here is are these masses Comprehensive? Is the pile cities durable? Do they produce a new kind of architecture and urbanism? Is this architecture awkward? also does the urban piling erase the main features of the characters old cities? Although this studies will cause to New city grid where new strategy equal new architecture and result to new cities but what happen to the old city grid, not only the grid, but although the city infrastructure. Trummer's proposal needs more clarification and more time to do researches and studies to produce Composite urbanism and awkwardness. Finally this paper address the question of the relation between awkwardness and Pile City. Can awkwardness as a characteristic produce qualities that will be beneficial in thinking about the expansion of the city? What would this project look like?

In conclusion To move forward in this essay will answer some of these question in my point of view. First of all I don't think that these new awkward masses durable because this approach in piling in urbanism needs more researches and time and also experiments , because it is not only causing in changing the character of one mass, but it is adding a new character of an entire cities and in order of these masses to be durable and comprehensive, trummer needs to include more information and case studies.
