01 Manoeuvre Habitation Professor Wiel Arets Adjunct Associate Professor John Manaves Zeeburgereiland, Amsterdam, Netherlands What will be the strategy for the contemporary city and who will challenge this development? We have to radically change our perception of what is a city; we have to find a new definition and even a new word for what we call ‘the city’ or the ‘Metropolis,’ a name that was coined in the early 20th century.
Provocation According to the Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations, most of the world population will live in densified urban areas by 2050. This densification of the metropolis will place further emphasis on the high-rise tower and its integration within the context of the city. A new evaluation of the high-rise tower and its relationship to the traditional horizontal organization of the city should create a new typology. This new vertical and horizontal environment will need to adapt to the demands of the metropolis and its user. Urbanization Even with the advancements of the tower, our cities are organized horizontally emphasizing streets, building blocks, plazas, and parks. The high-rise building is consistently disconnected from the fabric of the city. How can the urban quality of the city be organized into the vertical? Movement Our high-rise towers are limited to the movement of the elevator, a technology invented over 150 years ago. How can we rethink metropolis and vertical urbanisms based on a new development and mode of circulation? New technology offer vertical and horizontal movement by a patented magnetic elevator. Neighborhoods Can the high-rise tower start to develop and distinguish a range of qualities and environments? How can the high-rise integrate the culture and diversity of the city? Can it created horizontal zero-zero level conditions? The Site: Zeeburgereiland, Sluisbuurt, Amsterdam, Netherlands
Vibrant, diverse neighborhoods of Amsterdam
From the IJ river, looking north at EYE Museum and A’DAM Lookout
Albert Cuyp Markt, the most popular flea market in Amsterdam
Amsterdam, Netherlands is well known for its canals and artistic, slim houses. It is a city of vibrant lifestyle and freedom. The fun culture is seen throughout the city with bustling bars and cafes. However, the calming parks and refreshing nature is seen throughout different pockets within neighborhoods in Amsterdam as well. Neighborhoods in Amsterdam have their own unique characteristics and many are quite different from one another significantly. It is also famous for its fabulous nightlife, number of bikes and canals. Generally, the bars and shops are common throughout the neighborhoods with unique features of flea markets, housing styles, parks and museums distributed among each neighborhood.
I Amsterdam, Museumplein
The site of the project is on the Zeeburgereiland, specifically Sluisbuurt - northern end section of the island. This island is connected in loop with the rest of Amsterdam by two main highways. It is situated like a gateway to the inland on the eastern edge of Amsterdam.

With the technology of 2050 in transportation, what if the neighborhoods could exist and maintain their qualities vertically? This would help blur the conditions of ground level on different levels. Hybrids within neighborhoods can be created in their overlapping borders. By playing with the scale of neighborhood and
applying it vertically into the Sluisbuurt, it is like the neighborhoods are the different, personalized units in a building, while the Sluisbuurt site is equilvalent as the building holding these units.

The new city in Sluisbuurt imagines the future and projects potential trends. The new future would have an enclosed, energy efficient loop system. Clean water will go into the Zeeburgereiland and clean water will come back out of Zeeburgereiland. The photovoltaic glass of the facade will change color according to the light received, to provide the right amount of shade to the interior. Food and waste would be processed at optimal efficiency. Meat would be 3D printed and laboratory produced. Industries and robots would monopolize the hazardous productions with humans quality controlling through VR. Artificial Photosynthesis would not only be implemented with real trees but also provide solar energy and high concentration of Oxygen to the city atmosphere. Self driving cars and drones transportation systems would provide a much more efficient method of traveling and communication. These new trajectory future systems would enforce both maintaining the identity of Amsterdam and implementing new technology into the architecture, on the planning of Zeeburgereiland.
During the second part of the 20th century, the rediscovery of the traditional city was the focus of attention. But just as the phone operates together with the computer and the e-mail to communicate, the new city, the city to come is more complex than the city as we know it so far, because our culture is simply much more complex as well. New infrastructural devices have to be developed. Perhaps the virtual realm will help the city to get a new identity, in which our constantly changing world is meeting instability. The way the World is dealing with Financial Issues and the role/position of the Bank, Property-ownership and the playground for developers and entrepreneurs are not anymore bound to one city; they relate by Stock-exchange and the International Property-development as a Global issue. We would like to speak in this respect about the city to come, the city we experience in a dreamlike condition; the un-sensational, the un-thought, the un-environment, the seemingly un-complex perception of a new reality.
02 Montessori Elementary Professor Jeffery Klymson Primary Education for free, independent children Chinatown, Chicago, IL “They [misbehaviors] are merely his reactions to an environment that has become inadequate... But we do not notice that. And since it is understood that the child must do what adults tell him, even though his environment no longer suits his needs, if he does not comply we say that he is “naughty” and correct him. Most of the time we are unaware of the cause of his “naughtiness”. Yet the child, by his condut, proves what we have just said. The closed environment is felt as a constraint...” (Maria Montessori, From Childhood to Adolescence) Rather than making a child learn to adapt to his environment, this design focuses on giving the children options in their surroundings. Whether in the classroom or in the hallway, the students are always given a choice on what they want to see, act, go and explore.

Professor Eva Kultermann Sustainable student housing Douglas, Chicago, IL with Carolina Almeida This project aims to compete in AIA Cote Top Ten Students Competition, which focuses on different measures of innovative sustainability. The site, Bailey Hall is an unoccupied student housing in Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, IL. With the current trends and available housings on campus in mind, Bailey Hall was retrofitted into a sustainable housing.

Instead of fully retrofitting sustainability innovations into the old building, we decided to create a new “brother” building which will be a makers’ space that also generates green energy for its older “brother” Bailey Hall. The “brother” building not only houses grocery store, labs, event spaces, energy gym, open studio and roof top restaurant, but also has rainwater harvesting tank, greywater recycling tanks, water filtering fish tanks and living machines. These innovative technology will allow the students in the lab to learn directly as a hands-on experience. Many under-used, surrounding sites have been improved to drain stormwater, engage community or generate even more green energy!

Cultural Center for diverse communities Park 567, Chicago, IL How can architecture influence the balance, speed and flow of economic, social, and political aspects? Located on the border of Bucktown and Wicker Park, Park 567 is overlooked by Ward 2 of Damen station and Ward 1 of Western station. Unlike the busy, lively communities around the Damen station of blue line, it exists merely as a bypass where mostly only the Bloomingdale’s users past. Since it is an entry point to the infamous Bloomingdale’s trail, the segregated site which is currently divided into mainly 3 sectors by Milwaukee, Leavitt, Bloomingdale’s, and CTA train, can be brought together by readjusting and allocating the existing flows.
N M au ilw e ke e Av
One of the ways looked into was an attraction like gravity where nearby users would be attracted and drawn to the proposed hub. They would be either slowed down due to the attention to the hub which includes cafes’, art, miniature sports and so on, or be completely engaged in the activity in which case they would stop and stay. There are also ramps through the hub which provide multiple access to the Gravity Well. Not only will the design bridge the segregated site, but also reorganize or even encourage the flow of political, recreational information and people in a certain direction while gravitating towards the central proposed gathering center. This will in turn recreate a close, socialized community, bringing art and culture back to the Wicker Park.

Norrebro District, Copenhagen, Denmark 1:100
The interior circulation of the Norrebro's megablocks is mainly interpreted as vertical. Each two or three units share a core stair. Therefore, the stairs allow the vertical neighbors to interact and meet each other more often than those living on the same floor a couple units far. All the units have multiple stairs which open up to the inner courtyard and the outter streets with the facades equally treated on both sides.
