DSNY Q11-Q13 Garages & Offices [Rehabilitation] 100,000 SF In Construction Documents Role: Lead Designer / Project Manager

Located in Queens, this 24 hour DSNY facility for Districts 11 and 13 hosts two garages, a repair shop, and personnel spaces. Combined, the facility serves over 300,000 New Yorkers, with each individually responsible for the cleaning, collecting, disposing, and managing of their districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solid waste stream, along with plowing and other snow operations. In addition, the existing repair shop plays a critical role in maintaining DSNY, as well as other inter-agency vehicles. While there are many issues with the existing garage, the catalyst for this project was a failing long span in the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s First Floor Garage that created an unsafe condtion, necessitating Q11 garbage trucks park along Winchester Boulevard.

PROPOSED PLANS

SITE PLAN The landscape design proposes a series of raised planters, in lieu of the existing jersey barriers. The planters not only protect proposed gathering areas, they also act as seating and negotiate site elevation changes in order to provide ADA paths to the main building entrance. Plantings include native species that are low-maintenance to provide shade and a green buffer from the street to the building. FIRST LEVEL Q11’s main level contains Field Offices, a Operations Office, and Roll Call area, as well as their Garage. In addition, this level contains program shared by both districts including the Bureau of Motor Equipment’s Repair Shop and Bureau of Building Maintenance’s Building Engineer’s Office.

DSNY Q11-13 | TEN Arquitectos

CELLAR LEVEL All of Queens District 13 personnel and garage spaces are located on the Cellar Level. Existing light-wells along the west facade bring natural light into personnel areas. The Cellar Level also contains the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary mechanical spaces and its garage hosts a variety of interagency vehicles.

MEZZANINE LEVEL This level, in addition to the First Level, provides personnel spaces for Q11. The Mezzanine Level contains all Locker Rooms, which are split between Officer and Sanitation Workers, and Multipurpose Spaces. All office spaces are provided on the First Level.

INTERIORS Floor to ceiling exterior and interior glazing activates common spaces by providing views towards Alley Pond Park and allowing ample natural light to penetrate deep into the building. The existing narrow and artificially illuminated corridors are transformed into a well-lit spaces with ceilings that not only provide easy access to equipment, but also increase the overall sense of space. Wall tiles from the corridor wrap down onto the floor and continue into the communal areas to reinforce the continuity of these spaces. This approach not only improves the quality of the interior environment, but acts as a wayfinding system to help direct employees and visitors alike to primary programmatic areas.

ENVELOPE IMPROVEMENTS The addition of a durable and lightweight rainscreen, as well as full roof assembly replacement, were required to remediate critical issues with the existing envelope, including a deteriorating brick veneer, deficient insulation, nonexistent flashing and a failing roof. By holistically considering the project, the proposed improvements not only rectify the existing envelopes inadequacies, but address privacy issues, control daylight, and consolidate the building’s appearance to provide DSNY a strong institutional image, while clearly identifying both district’s garages.

PIONEER WORKS Master Plan Study / Entry Design Role: Designer

Andrea Steele Architecture was engaged to provide a masterplan for the phased expansion of Pioneer Works, inlcuding the design and implementation of Phase 01, the renovation of the lobby, incorporating new egress doors, reception and bookstore/gift shop. Founded in 2012 and set in a 20,000-square-foot brick and timber building in Red Hook, Brooklyn, Pioneer Works is a not-for-profit asmission-free cultural center dedicated to building community through cross-diciplinary cultural production with the goal of creating an open and inspired world. Since its founding Pioneer Works has evolved and florished without a clear plan, but is now at a stage in its growth where one is required.

CATALYST The catalyst for the master plan was the donation of a telescope with which Pioneer Works will create the first fully public observatory in New York City. How can an observatory and short wish list of new programs be added to a decentralized group of existing structures in a manner that consolidates real estate and identity?

The existing 3 story building hosts events and exhibitions on the ground floor, while the two upper floors are a combination of exhibition spaces, classrooms, labs, artist studios, and offices. Inclusive of the observatory, Pioneer Works wanted to add 19,000 sf of new program to provide greater resources to artists-in-residence + local community, support existing programming + events, and reinforce the institution as a cultural center of NYC.

The current entry (through a fire stair) and facade (opaque) limited accessibility to the public, both in terms of physically and perception. The intent of the entry, was thus two-fold; first to provide an institutionally scaled entrance, and second to allow a clear view into the building, so that passersby can immediately grasp what Pioneer Works is.

CHELSEA TOWNHOUSE Single-Family Residence Under Construction 10,000 SF Role: Construction Administrator

The Chelsea Townhouse (CTH) is 6-story, 10,000 SF, single-family residence in NYC. Under construction, CTH is slated to be completed 2020. The site for this residence is a typical New York City R-3 infill lot, which most often would simply be filled with the standard townhouse typology, but as a studio we wanted to subvert these expectations by questioning their foundations. To question and define this projects architecture we employed two principal ideas, the first, how the compression and expansion of spaces create a dynamic procession, altering the users experience, and second, how the level of light and access to views can reinforce or undermine typical understandings of program.

The client wanted a house and a small “carriage house” for his mother in the rear yard (A). Both houses should have their autonomy but share an identity. Our proposal embraces the “carriage house” by lifting the ground plane (B). Further, by carving the site around it (C), the small detached “carriage house” provides a greater independence and a sense of isolation while becoming an integral component of the home’s identity. The upper volume splits and pushes away from each other (D) provoking a three-dimensional void that brings light and nature into the house. The main vertical circulation inhabits the voids while also stitching all moments of the house into an active cinematic sequence of contrasting moments.

PLAN The townhouse typology was codifed before modern construction techniques were established and as a result many features originally developed for structural reasons remain as artifacts rather than spacial considerations. One prominent feature of the typical townhouse is the discrete longitudinal stair and corridor along one wall. The demising wall between the stair and living spaces was necessary to limit the span of members running between partywalls, but also greatly restricted the width of adjacent rooms.

ENVELOPE Historically townhouse facades are deep, load-bearing masonry structures that restrict the size and quantity of fenestration. CTH questions the normative structure of townhouse facades by incorporating a dense veil of louvers running in front of wall to wall, floor to ceiling operable glazing. The size (1â&#x20AC;?) and frequency (2â&#x20AC;? O.C.) of the louvers produces a diaphanous effect, and carefully balances controlling views + light into the building, while maintaining views out.

D-BRIDGE Flexure Shell Structure Unbuilt 1000 SF Role: Designer

The D-Bridge (Bridge) is a single-story, singleroom, 1200SF building enclosing a path between an existing residence and an Art Gallery. The building is a thickened shell with canted glazing and six door openingsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;it is environmentally controlled, and it provides both a programmatic link between living and gallery spaces and a series of smaller, more intimate porch-like spaces around the boundaries of the buildings. The doubly curved flexure shell is structurally rationalized into 1000+ sheet metal voxels that act as the design DNA for all other elements.

Structure: Keast & Hood Structural Engineers Envelope: Front Inc.

OVERVIEW The D-Bridge is an unbuilt architectural project and experimental structure that serves as an extension to a private gallery and residence in the Philadelphia area. Our office worked in close collaboration with facade and BIM experts, as well as several other fabricators and consultants in the greater Philadelphia region. The D-Bridge as a case study in small-office technological design and information management. The desire to design and construct a project like the D-Bridge grew from the BIM-like philosophy that serves as Point B Designâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s founding ethos. We gained the knowledge needed to design the project through collaboration with contemporary BIM experts, as well as adopting tools and expertise from the burgeoning open-source community around Rhino and Grasshopper. We were thus able to transform our primary tool for geometric control to our organizational system for the entire project. We used it throughout. Everything, from formal experiments to visualization of data, coordination and design of building systems, fabrication management, delivery logistics, and construction scheduling, was managed with the software we used for 3D modeling and drawing.

CUSTOM DYNAMIC REMESHING

- Overall Architectural Intent - Structurally Relaxed Shape - Footing Size + Locations - Condition of Meeting House & Gallery

Triangulated approximation of design surface, serves starting point for our operation & additions to the mesh.

Developed with Front Inc via Grasshopper & custom scripts. Rearranges mesh vertices and edges to edit organization & density of voxels. Provides granular control of voxels around glazing line, feet, larger patterns, etc.

DYNAMIC MESH

CIRCLE PACKING

POLYGON OUTLINES

A representation of process influencing the remeshing vertices (centers of circles) are arranged in a way such that circles may be packed optimally onto the custom mesh.

The voxel raw geometry corresponds to the dual graph of the custom mesh. These polygon shapes are the result of connecting the area centroids of the triangles in the custom mesh.

D-Bridge | Point B Design

STRUCTURAL VOXEL

BILL OF MATERIALS

The geometry of the shell is captured in each individual voxel, so that the overall shape emerges as the bridge is assembled. This is the moment of “embodied intelligence,” where each voxel is derived as an intelligent part. Because each voxel has a place in the shell and its relationship with its neighbors can be indexed and mapped, the order of construction operations need not be held to a linear time-line.

In all, the job is going to require about ~300 sheets of 60”x120” sheet metal. About 200 of these are 16GA and 100 are 12GA.

994 Voxels

1113 Voxels

The linear amount of laser cutting is about 400,000 inches. This includes dashed cuts along the edges to assist bending and all rivet holds.

1163 Voxels

1122 Voxels

Since the Design Surface is a relatively fixed surface area – the density of the polygons is also established via an interpretation of ranges of sizes, overall polygon count, and number of sides to each polygon.

The exterior cladding reinterprets the structural voxelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s geometry into a triangulated rainscreen that gradually contorts and crumples as the shell transitions from horizontal, at itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apex, to vertical, as it arcs down to meet the ground. As with the rest of the project, the cladding was designed through a framework developed in Grasshopper and was agile enough to work directly from the same polygonal outlines used to generate the structural voxels. By strictly maintaining this constraint the advancement of each scope of work could be at once independent from one another and always coordinated.

VISUAL VOXELS The primary role of the innermost layer is to create a specific phenomenological experience for users of the bridge. While the structural voxelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; depth was determined by the flexure resistance required, the visual voxels could undulate freely, carving the interior volume into understandable spaces and providing a substrate for lighting fixtures and air diffusers.

D-Bridge| Point B Design

The development of the visual voxels alternated between advancing a digital framework and material studies. The digital framework established relationships between discrete points on individual visual voxels that could be manipulated to create global gradients of change; the material studies clarified where value was embedded in the transformations.

NAVAJO HOUSING Master Plan

This collaborative landscape & architecture studio developed a master plan for the Navajo community of Crown Point, NM. Using a framework of public utilities, my team of four advanced a comprehensive plan to tackle disparate problems ranging from flood mitigation to community building. We strived to provide the minimum number of services needed to allow the people of Crown Point to overcome their inertia. As the only student concentrating solely on architecture, my greatest contribution was the design of the housing units.

Critics: Tony Atkin & Laurie Olin In collaboration with W. Diptee, A. Rahim & Y. Zolotorevskaya

Crown Point, part of the Navajo Nation, is a small and isolated town in north-west New Mexico. This isolation is not confined to geography, but entrenched in social & economic difficulties that fragment the residents.

One branch of their troubles is rooted in a long history of American colonialism that subjugated the Navajo and left them neither truly anchored in tradition* nor fully prepared to engage contemporary western culture, while the other is based in environmental concerns such as water scarcity & the seasonal devastation brought by flash flooding. To deal with such large yet subtle, universal yet intimate problems, we formulated a tripartite plan. 1. Connect Crown Point to tradition, economies, education & the greater geography through simple means such as an expanded bus system & partnerships with outside institutions.

Nature Trails section perspective by Anooshey Rahim

NATURE TRAILS The nature trails, Crown Pointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first line of defense against seasonal flooding, contain a series of check dams that slow water velocity, reduce erosion during flash flood events, and increase water infiltration for the promotion of a lush and vibrant habitat. The nature trails encourage a commitment to the environment that is intrinsic to Navajo culture.

Skate Park section perspective by Yelena Zolotorevskaya

Crown Point Master Plan | PennDesign

SKATE PARK The skate park, one of the resilient programs bundled within the linear park, is positioned in a main flood path so that it collects and retains water before it can damage Navajo Technical University and community residences. During most of the year the park doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gather water, but students, tourists, and locals, which enables exchange and provides a framework for free recreational activity.

METROFORM A Future Mesotopic Urbanism

Metroform neither denigrates nor idealizes the future, but sees it as a mesotopia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a possible evolution of the organization of cities and their social structures. Metroform proposes that each architecture is the ground for the next. In this interface of building (private) and building (private), a public realm emerges, creating a continuum between the stratified private spaces of the individual buildings and the resultant, nonhierarchical public space. Within this system, the architecture is no longer the singular skyscraper, but a plurality that reinterprets and reconstitutes the urban condition.

Critics: Peter Trummer In collaboration with Eric Hull

The skyscraper is the vertical manifestation of the typical urban condition. Metroform simultaneously investigates the reorganization of this condition parametrically and sectionally. It speculates on the emergent relationships within this re-envisioned, non-hierarchical, continuum of private and public space.

ARCHITECTURAL MANIFESTATION At instances of convergence, the regularity of private spaces gives way to the inherent unpredictably of public spaces. The discrete moments within these areas are defined by gradients of deformation losing their particular signification as architectural elements.

P.O.P.S. These transitional spaces play a localized role in negotiating between the public and the private realms within a singular architecture. Within the proposed plurality, these spaces mediate and facilitate larger urban relationships such as public thoroughfares, institutions, and cultural or private economies.

FOLDING PLATES Rigid Plate Miura-Ori Structure

The project investigates the potential to create, append and manipulate space through folding by utilizing deployable rigid plate structures. To do this, we had to understand how thick, rigid, origami patterning impacted it folded geometry, and how its material construction could dictate fold direction, the scalability of the system, material construction and fabrication.

Instructor: Mohamad Al Khayer In collaboration with Eric Hull

The Proof is in the Prototype. Investigating different patterns and their spatial capacities meant imposing constraint through the exploration of material logics. On a small scale our team looked at different patterns, controlling them through a series of offset panels that dictated which edges would buckle to form valley folds and which would rise to become mountain folds. At a larger scale, in our Connection Mock-up, we explored how to control the direction and depth of folds through the use of butt joints and varying degrees of mitered joints.
