SERENE NEW YORK Adaptable Ferry Terminal in Manhattan after Hurricane Sandy

5

Agenda After Hurricane Sandy destroyed New York City, the city recognized how much this area is vulnerable to the flood issue. Hence, this studio aimed to find a way to protect the city with architecture from another catastrophic storm surge, and to adjust the floating architecture to raise of sea level in the future. Serene New York is a new ferry terminal on the location of pier 17 to replace the two current terminals of WFC and Pier 11 which were flooded during the sandy. In this project, I made five assumptions that describe the condition of the New York City in the future to guide the project.

Project The main goal of the project is essentially two. First, the new ferry terminal should have some moment that infrastructure, which protects the city edge from flood, meets architecture. Second, it should offer plentiful public space for lower manhattan. Accordingly, this architecture has gigantic movable structure that works as a platform generally, and door when the city face the emergency situation like a hurricane sandy. Moreover, the foundation structure of this huge building is adaptable to the sea level and even detachable from the sea bed. Thus, the terminal could change its location in the future.


Serene New York / Adaptable Ferry Terminal

Assumptions Sea level will rise continuously and reach 7 feet by 2100 Two main ferry terminals of Lower Manhattan, Pier 11 and World Financial Center, will be flooded and replaced by new transit hub. FDR Drive from the Brooklyn Bridge to lower Manhattan will be changed to different infrastructure for bicycle and pedestrian. Manhattan will have a permeable breakwater and sea wall along with the part of coastline based on their vulnerability. Waterfront from the Brooklyn Bridge to 38th Street will be developed as a soft edge of the city with wetlands and sand beach.

Scenario “A” commutes from New Jersey to New York. He has to arrive in office in Manhattan by 9 am. However, because of frequent ferry schedule and high speed of the boat, he doesn’t need to wake up too early and worry about being late. Moreover, the new terminal is connected with the subway and bus station, so he can use it more conveniently even in weekend. “B” spends most of the weekend in new ferry terminal. Beside few times with her new amphibious car, she usually get their through riding a bike. The bike path from her apartment to the terminal is very well arranged, so it is faster and easier to get their by using bicycle. Especially, the terminal has many facilities for riders including large parking garage, cafe, restaurant and other retails. “C” is a very busy architect. He has many contract out of the states, so has a lots of chances to travel around the world. He prefers to use international ferry terminal because the vessel is fast and comfortable enough to travel overseas. “D” likes to visit the new terminal when she get stress from heavy works of school. The large open space and many commercials of the building make her feel better always. “E” had a thankful experience in the floating terminal of the city. When the last storm surge happened, he and his family evacuated from their flooded house to the terminal through the underwater subway system. The terminal switched their large atrium space to refuge for flood sufferers.

Agenda Chicago has been the representative city of highrise since long time ago. However, today, even though many tall building is constructed most of them are designed only based on how much square footage they could occupy. Unfortunately, there is lack of architectural objective or identity. The site is located on the center of Chicago. It is in between the NBC tower and Sheraton Hotel and close to the Chicago Tribune building and Trumph tower. This area is the core of the city and the spot is perfect enough to have a new landmark. To maximize the advantage of site, I designed luxury residential highrise with identical form.

MEMORY GENERATOR Parametric Observation Platform on the Center of Chicago

49

Agenda Chicago has a great heritage, the beautiful modern cityscape. Especially, the given site is in the middle of downtown, grant park. Hence, the objective is designing parametric observation platform to enjoy this windy city. The exact location is not specifically decided because the parameters of the tower that drive the form of the structure is varied depends on the spot. Accordingly, I designed the prototype of the platform and key parameters of each floor first and generate alterations through grasshopper.

Project Difference between “LOOK” and “SEE” When people “SEE” something, the figure projects on eyes is substituted to the signal, and this sensory information is transmitted to the brain. This is the simple physical process of seeing something. On the other hand, “LOOK” means recognizing something consciously. The impressive images what people look are substituted to the memory, and they can recall this scene when they want to see even though they cannot see that in real later. Accordingly, “LOOK” is obviously different from “SEE” because it could generate the memory which is very important part of life. “LOOK” is not just a sensory activity like “SEE”, but considerable part of human behavior. Therefore, to give an impressive memory with this platform, I considered these issues first. -What kind of things people like to look. -What type of scene is memorable for people. -What people want to see from this platform. -What I want to show them in this platform. -How to show them and make a good memory physically.

Rule

This project was about designing parametric observation platform, and I needed to set the rules and parameters for my tower. Hence, I focused on many beautiful landmarks in Chicago. I regarded all of these as the target views of the platform. Initially, I set thirty spots as an example targets to generate the prototype of the tower. Depending on visible distance related with the height, I chose four to five targets for each floor. The direction of each floor will be decided by these targets.

The simple rectangular shape defines the tower is designed between the M Chicago, I want visitor to choose what individual characters and programs w basic 35 feet by 25 feet space is the m lation requirement: elevator and stair.

Modification Depending on the rules and parameters I designed, from entire shape of the tower to the size of the perforation, every part can be changed quickly in the parametric program. The outcome is changed automatically when I change the value of each number slide. From this convenience, various design options are easily produced.

Program The memory generator is composed of five different space with each characters. To get to the first floor of the tower, people should across the reflecting pool, and this would remind them of transition of space. On the second floor, they will meet the dark space with two large open and perforated skins. They can see the different direction of the view from other floors through these large windows. At the same time, various perforated skin will give the special image of the city. The next floor has a wide open view to the ocean which is opposite from the second level. On the fourth level, multiple frame generates the different pictures of the city. As they move to the last floor, they would experience extreme view through hanging glass box. Because the box is extruded from the edge of the tower, they would see the pool below. These five floors will give a great experience and memory to people.

Parameter To set the rule and parameter, I focused on many beautiful landmarks in Chicago, and thought all of these could be targets of view for the observation platform. Initially, I set thirty spots as a target to generate the prototype of the tower. Depending on visible distance related with the height of the floor, I chose four to five targets for each floor. The angle of each floor is decided to face as many as targets. The simple rectangular shape of the platform drives visitor’s view to only one direction. Because the tower is designed between the Michigan Lake and the downtown, visitor can choose which side they want to look.

CITY OF BLISS New Types of Infrastructure in Future Nairobi

Agenda Nairobi is a capital of Kenya in the meaning of “the place of cool water”. This new business hub of Africa is growing up everyday. However, there is a significant problem that government has not solved yet which is a “slum”. Including “Kibera Slum”, there are many notorious poor housing area in Nairobi. In this project, I tried to find the way to develop the slum area through injection of new infrastructure rather than demolition of current housing. This is because there is an obviously positive points of this organic grid in slum. The new infrastructure has varied scale from small to x-large. In this zone, different size of infrastructures are combined to be injected. From small gathering space to the station for future transportation system, every structure will be placed between current grid of slum.

EMBRACING EACH OTHER Urban Interfaith Center in City Area

81

Agenda Today, to respond to various requirement for architecture, many different types of architecture in terms of form, material, and even definition has been emerged. However, even though the world is changed continuously and architecture has to address this change there are principal of architecture we would never overlook. In this project, I designed an urban interfaith center considering those immutable principals: modulation of space, amplification of light, resolution of scale, fulfillment of proportion, authenticity of material, and richness of experience.

Project The given site is a virtual common urban area, and it has 160 feet by 160 feet square area. The site is on the corner and has a alley and two adjacent buildings. To realize the motto of interfaith center, I wanted this space to be open to the city and communicate with them positively. Accordingly, the entire facade of the center became a transparent glass. In addition to this, another representative character of this building is continuous flow of the space. Every space is connected visually or acoustically to have continuous flow. They also communicate each other vertically and horizontally. At the same time, each space has to have their own characters and spatialities based on the purpose of them. To achieve this goal, many different materials are applied to every elements.


Embracing Each Other / Urban Interfaith Center

PROUN 19D, 1922 - EL LISSITZKY

Icon Prior to investigate the possibility of the space in architecture, we attempted to reinterpret the representative works of the 20th century Constructivism into three dimensional model. The icon should be derived from at least two works and clearly define the space visually and conceptually. I selected two works above from Marcel Duchamp and El Lissitzky. Duchamp’s painting has a solid composition that composed of two overlapped geometrical forms on the top right and the bottom left side and two diagonal streams which are wood feeling main stream and metallic impression sub stream. These characters gave the image of the complex city or refinery to me. Although the PROUND 19D is made of various materials such as a gesso, oil, paper, cardboard, and plywood these different textures have rough feeling in common. At the same time, this various materialities and color of each components in this work reminded me of architectural features like a wall, glass, window and door.

Eternal City 1/16” Acrylic, 1/16” Plywood, Black Canson Paper, White Paper, Send Paper No.100 This icon indicates the materiality of Lissitzky’s collage and the composition and atmosphere of Duchamp’s painting. The multilayer and union of different materials in the model show the flow, freedom, overlap, and integration of the space.

Private Courtyard The backyard is a private outdoor space. Pedestrian cannot enter to this court, but they can see the space. At the same time, it is the convergence of all space, and offers natural light to them.

Light from the sky makes the road of it and leads people to the space designed for contemplation. This skylight flows along with the roof of gallery and contemplation space to bring the light into the dark area.

To enter the meditation space, people need to use specific circulation. Through walking this load with the skylight, visitor could have time to isolate them from mundane life and ready to contemplate.

Agenda According to the present policy of the US, the definition of affordable housing is summarized in three. First, it should be affordable to “median house income”. Second, it should be non-market rental (Social or Subsidize housing). Third, the housing cost should not exceed 30% of a household’s gross income. In Cupertino, the site of this project, I assumed average income as $40,000 based on the data, then the price of the affordable house would be $12,000 per year and $1,000 per month for single person. According to the demography, average income members are two, hence maximum cost would be $2,000 per month. Hence, if they use 30 years of mortgage loan, total price of house will be $720,000 per family. Under this hypothesis, my argument was that it is better to spend the most of budget during the construction period than maintenance period to have a better quality of house in terms of design and performance. To achieve this with affordability, community would have an infrastructure that could generates energy and profit for residence.

Typical Design of Affordable Housing Today Current affordable housing in the U.S. has two main design similarities which are repetition and big box shape. These visual characters without identity usually cause the confliction between neighborhood and residence of the affordable housing. Hence, the project aimed to have a better quality of housing than the government house of today in terms of design and energy efficiency, but still with the affordability.


Kyungmin Nam / 2012 GSAPP 105

Design Methodology To solve the problem of the existing affordable housing in terms of design, I decided to give an identity to each house. Without changing of structure and size of typical suburban housing, it is possible to have different form of house. Simultaneously, they should have at least one shared wall to have an energy efficiency. Through these different shape of each unit, cluster would become dynamic and unique. This identical design finally could solve the confliction between neighborhood and residence of affordable housing.

Definition & Issue of The Affordable Housing -Affordable to “median house income” (for exactly whom? type of family) [Cost, Budget] Construction : material (local), construction method, Maintenance : passive, natural system, recycling resource -Non-market rental (Social or Subsidize housing) -Housing cost does not exceed 30% of a household’s gross income Assume average income $40,000, then $12,000 per year and $1,000 per month (Single). According to demography, average income mbmers: 2, then maximum $2,000 per month. ex) 30 years mortgage loan, total price of house: $360,000

Amortization “Amortization (or amortisation) is the process of decreasing, or accounting for, an amount over a period. When used in the context of a home purchase, amortization is the process by which loan principal decreases over the life of a loan. With each mortgage payment that is made, a portion of the payment is applied towards reducing the principal, and another portion of the payment is applied towards paying the interest on the loan. An amortization table shows this ratio of principal and interest and demonstrates how a loan’s principal amount decreases over time.”

Plan Design Appropriate combination of the straight line, diagonal line, and curve makes a beautiful consequence. Different types of movement of these lines generate tension sometimes and compression at the same time. Using similar angle of rotation from 30, 45, and 60 to 90 degree keeps the coherence and variety of the entire design. In addition to the basic combination of the straight line, diagonal line, and curve, vertical change gives another potential to become an identical housing. In this second zone of the community, the housings are considering more about how to assemble each unit vertically. Union of different scale of housing horizontally and vertically makes the space of community more rich and dynamic.

Typology House No. 1 Poche has been used in architecture in many different ways. However, there is not many research about the poche today. Hence, the housing type no.1 is about this poche. This single story house can afford four people in different spatial quality. House No. 2 Gentle curve makes appropriate tension and beauty in this house. This shared type house have the most variety in terms of space. The reflecting pool, extended balcony and round window will give strong identity to the house. House No. 3 This simple form house has a wide balcony that allows residence to communicate with the front reflecting pool. The pool is shared with the housing no.2, but they still can have privacy through the wall between them. House No. 4 Small gathering space in the community will improve the atmosphere of the town more plentiful. This small cafe works as a bridge between each units. House No. 5 House on the large wall with the long tail has structural ambition that two main structures hold the entire upper floor. The large wall and opaque staircase will support the entire load of house.

Typology House No. 6 Integrated space and the variation of height cause dynamic flow in this house. This family house has a tall living room, kitchen with the hidden terrace and hanged room. House No. 7 The courtyard and the roof terrace are one of the most plausible space of the house in weekend. House No. 8 It is a cliché, but positive and negative space are always interesting issue in architecture. This house is designed based on the notion that how that cliché can be used in modern housing design. House No. 9 Form of the house and space drive residence’s behavior. The front balcony on second floor and two rooms with the sky light will bring day light into the house mildly. House No. 10 View is one of the key issues in housing. Enjoying the view of large pool in front of the house from their secret terrace will make this house more special.

POETIC DEATH Cemetery and Mausoleum of Next Generation in Chicago

123

Agenda “On the somewhere between life and death, we reminisce the past and imagine the end through meditating someone who dead.” Human is the only one species that recognize the meaning of the death during the life. However, even though everyone knows that they will be dead someday no one try to imagine how their end looks life in daily life. In this situation, the cemetery is the only place that life meets death, and remind people of their end. Generally, visitor of cemetery meditates someone who dead and look back their life. Then, how to make visitor remember their dead acquaintance more brightly, and think about their past and future with more calm atmosphere?

Project It is hard to imagine how many different lives exist in the world. However, we can say that birth and death are equal to everyone. Regardless how they live, they born without any knowledge and leave without any properties. Accordingly, I want this cemetery to offer equal death to everyone in terms of method. There is no difference derived from their age, property, social status, nationality, and sex. Every dead would meet the same death, the “Poetic Death”. Entire cemetery is designed to give one experience, from people enter through the long pathway to go out, they would have an enough time to meditate someone and their life with great nature. Various types of pathway would give a rich experience to visitors. The vacant crematorium would be sometimes good for meditation in calm environment. Beyond the great white wall, simple wood framed chapel waits for healing visitors silently. In this chapel, people would be entirely separated from the previous experience, because they cannot see any place of cemetery beside the reflecting pool. The meditation space is located on the top hill of the cemetery. People can see entire land warmly at the end from this place.


Poetic Death / Contemporary Cemetery & Mausoleum

Concept of New Cemetery Since human being had emerged in the world, mankind try to leave various types of mark to commemorate their death. From doleman to pyramid, the mark has been changed widely in terms of shape, size, and materials. As time goes by, it is clear that the size is diminished and process is simpler, but the one thing never changed is that it is always related with the land and soil. Today, the available burial space is decreased and the environment preservation is the most important issue in every field. Accordingly, coincide with this condition and trend, I believe the cemetery of new era should have a minimum effect on the natural land. At the same time, the trace of death also should be minimized and simpler.
