WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO PROVIDE “AAA FORRÓ” & WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO THE INHABITANTS OF BARRA? 48%

Percentage of Rio Office Space

60%

Percentage of Adverage Cost

In an era of corporate profits and an increasing disparity between the rich and poor “AAA” has become the nomenclature of elite private entities with the means to pay for top services and amenities. AAA Forro therefore proposes to re-appropriate and re-interpret the meaning and accessibility of such spaces to provided Rio, and more specifically Barra, with a place of equality and diversification with AAA spaces for all. To Accomplish the goals of AAA Forro the projects seeks to use the Brazlain Marketplace as a mechanism for change. Currently in Rio there is a large demand for AAA office spaces for new and relocating companies moving to the city. Consequentially Rio De Janeiro's office space has become the most expensive in the Americas and the fourth highest in the world. Access to AAA spaces has become a private mechanism for the few and limits accessibility and mobility for local inhabitants. But what would it mean to provided AAA spaces for all? What forms would it take and how would increased accessibility effect culture and seed an environment that provides mutual infrastructure and amenities. This project seeks to use the current real estate boom as an armature to reclassify AAA and make accessible its advantages to the full population.

HATO\WAB

SPRING 2012

c: CONCRETE PROCEDURES i: KEITH KASEMAN A PROJECT WITH AARON BERMAN & GARTH PRIBER

HATO/WAB - THE DO IT YOURSELF CONCRETE BLOCK Definition: HATO/WAB: Half a Truncated Octahedron With Analog Booleans

HATO/WAB is an exploration in the variability of platonic geometric precision subjected to real-world tolerances, dynamic processes and the realities of formwork assembly. We looked at various 3D geometries and were inspired by the truncated octahedron. As we began to test formworks to realize the geometry physically, including plywood, blue foam, and vacu-formed plastic, we worked in parallel casting balloons into concrete blocks to attain different levels of porosity and to see how we could control the locations of the voids. Finally, we became interested in the possibility of mass-production through interchangeable pieces, and through our final tests we were able to design a production method.

FAILURE!!!

Having worked through many failures of form, mix, craftsmanship, and logic over the development of HATO/WAB, we are content to view our final tests as successes in both intention and execution. These are some of the multiple attempts at both analogue booleans and rigid formwork. All failures were collected on the table of failure located in a prominent location in our studio.

FOR THE FUTURE OF THE AMERICAN WORKER WE NEED TO HACK INDUSTRY TO TAKE BACK CONTROL HACKER AS SAVIOR Today there are two things generally said about hackers, they are either terrorists or libertarians. Historically the word meant an amateur tinkerer, an dyi-er who might try a dozen solutions to a problem before finding a successful one. The hack is therefore a means of innovation and knowledge. Historically hackers are responsible for some of the most successful inventions of the modern world. Hackers have created some of the most successful companies in america.The precedent set by past hackers to re-interpret and re-purpose the materials of production can be used as an example for the constructive processes that can change the way electronics are researched, designed, and fabricated. EDUCATION VRS KNOWLEDGE The 2008 4 year high school graduation rate rose to 60.7 percent. A 3.6 percent increase since 2007. The bloomberg administration hailed the increase as a success in education policy. But according to new statistics less than half of the students that graduate are ready to attend a four year college or careers. What if hacking can provide an alternative to traditional education and provide knowledge to re-educate american youth for future innovative industries. Education policy has failed to inspire. The hacker class desires knowledge, not education.

MUCH LIKE BREAD DURING THE DEPRESSION

OBSESSIONS & HEGEMONIC ECONOMIES The market has become dependent on the cycles of production and consumption ; that consume precious resources , out-source an increasing number of jobs and rely on outdated modes of manufacturing. What if we can change the scope of electronic manufacturing by allowing local fabrication and modification to re purpose and explore new possibilities for electronic products? In essence we would hack all levels of electronic production to flatten capital and empower users to take a larger role in the production of their daily goods.

TECHNOLOGY HAS BECOME A NECESSITY

WASTE & SUBVERSIVE ENTERPRISES As technology advances the number of obsolete electronics in need of disposal multiples. Many counties are finding it cheaper to ship e-waste overseas rather then process it locally. In the short term, exporting waste may be cheaper, but the environmental and material cost of e-waste are a growing problem. E-waste can provide both the materials and financing for local factories to hack. E-waste recycling therefore can be seen as an opportunity to re-purpose materials into new functions and as a financial tool to re-sell precious metals back to american industry. INNOVATION & CULTURE Products can be produced at local levels, facilitating cultural associations of style, performance, and innovation. Therefore by keeping all levels of production local the hacker can provided a counter balance to the material cost of production and distribution. By locally re-purposing, re-using and modifying existing electronic waste the life cycles of the products become extended while maintaining consumer desire for new objects and innovation. This can therefore speed up the process of consumerism and lead to a cultural competition between both hackers and the cities. New innovative products can be fabricated or existing electronics can be hacked to increase their value.

THE SOLUTION : THE HACTORY The hactory is a system of knowledge and manufacturing that uses hacking to create, translate and fabricate new electronics. The system is controlled by the nomad, a autonomous agent that handles all material and educational logistics. All levels of hacking can be interfaced through the wi-fi system set up by the game alt+ctrl. The game provides the interface that connects the individual factory, the hack pack, and the large scale factory ,the hack factory. Each works in conjunction with the thrift store which acts as the middlemen to all parties including the materials distributed through the e-waste plant.

HACK TO GAIN STATUS!!! HACKER CLASS 1 - ALT+CONTORL WI-FI GAME Alt+ ctrl is game played in the landscape of new york. It is both a measuring of status as well as a educational incentive to hack. Through alt + ctrl is therefore the means in which all levels of the hacktory existed and are deployed. As well as the game the geo-locative sculptures made through hacking and placed within the city are wi-fi hot-spots the strengthen the network of the factory and break down the hegemonic structures of empire held be corporations in a post capitalists society

HACKER CLASS 2 - THE HACK PACK The hack pack is a multi-use factory that deploys itself on the scale of an individual apartment. There are three types of hack pack; skin, brain, and guts. Each does specific tasks and can be aggregated with each other to form a large workshop within the hackers apartment. The more you aggregate the more risk is involved with detection by the authorities or neighbors.

HACKER CLASS 3 - THE HACTORY Fitting within the footprint of a shipping container the hack factory is delivered on site by truck. Each phase of the factory takes three modules and each modules has plug in pods that can be interchanged to increase the variety of use within the factory. The factory is fabricated of site with a light weight disposable frame and skin. The factory is then deployed and attached to the side of the building in which the factory adapts and starts to the use the buildings infrastructure . For quick departure the pods can be quickly pulled out leaving the frame and skin as a monument to the hack and as usable real state.

HACKER CLASS 4 - THE NOMAD The system is controlled by the nomad, a autonomous agent that handles all material and educational logistics. All levels of hacking can be interfaced through the wi-fi system set up by the game alt+ctrl.

HATCH PAVILION c: FAST PACE SLOW SPACE i: BRIGETTE BORDERS & MARK BEARAK A PROJECT WITH LUIS ALARCON, AARON BERMAN, MICHEL GEORGOPOULUS, EUN KI KANG, DAYEON KIM, NICOLE KOTSIS, JEEN GRACE LEE, & HYLEE OH

HOW TO MAKE A PAVILION FOR $1500 The purpose of this pavilion is to provide multiple spaces for relaxation, contemplation, and social interaction. The two spaces within the project are broken apart, providing one space for two people to relax in a more private setting, and one space for four people to have a conversation. The angling of the wooden slats (Hatch Pattern) was designed to maximize this separation for the private zone, and minimize it for the public zone; thus creating a gradient of visual permeability. The form was derived from one continuous strip that wraps around itself, while touching the ground in minimal locations to preserve the landscaping below. The density of the slats is based on three density types: The densest zones are designated for walking and sitting, the medium zones are designated as backrest locations, and the lightest zones are meant for shading. This pavilion acted as a beacon to entice a passerby to come over, sit, and relax during GSAPPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2011 end of the year show. Hatch Pavilion is currently on display at the Artgate Gallery in Chelsea NYC

A NEW AMERICAN UNIVERSITY Current models for independent research universities are not sustainable. Growth of overall costs, competition between institutions, and entrenched university dogma have discouraged partnerships, cross institution collaboration, and facility sharing that could expand the growth and range of knowledge production. If current trends continue, can the university still afford to promote innovations in the sciences, and can the American university compete on a global scale with increasing competition from emerging nations? The American university is not a broken institution, but one that can benefit from a new model of research that effectively delivers funding and resources to a varying array of scientific propositions and directions. Co-Op seeks to promote the growth of knowledge by partnering universities into a global institution and re-defining current funding, collaborative and transmission paradigms for new scientific explorations. This shared facility, funded by the public sector grants, is populated by university faculty from multiple institutions and disciplines. Complementary to the research, this new institution will also seek to be a broadcast center of new ideas and techniques, both with physical proximity to peers and the public and with new digital interfaces connected on a global scale. The changing landscape of the physical university also calls for a new type of connective tissue that ties universities and people together. The library has been the traditional means of knowledge transference, but in the modern era the library has been stretched and its functions have been redefined. The campus can therefore be looked at as the new library by serving traditional library functions (studying, reading, information interfaces) and accommodating new programmatic amenities (cafes, lectures, social spaces). Co-Op seeks to use this new definition of the library to dynamically stitch public amenities (Related to both health and the public) to laboratories, creating an emerging space for interdisciplinary work and inter-connectivity.

BRONX SPORTS COMPLEX c: ARCHITECTURAL TECH V i: PHIL ANZALONE A PROJECT WITH AARON BERMAN, ELIZA MONTGOMERY & JUAN FRANCISCO SALDARRIAGA

ENVIROMENTAL AND PROGRAMATIC SKINS. The design of The Bronx Sports Complex is based on two complementary ideas: first, the building seeks to both embrace and subvert Modernism’s obsession with transparency, and second, it draws from ancient Greek phenomenology in the form of a series of veils that hide and reveal the true nature of the building. Initially, just for programmatic purposes, the first layer of our envelope is designed to almost disappear, following modernity’s adoration for glass and clarity. The storefront envelope, made up of low-e IGU units, framed with minimal aluminum mullions and opaque surfaces, provides this level of lightness and visual permeability. However, the second layer - a stainless steel diagrid - and specially the third layer - a system of wood slats that act as shading devices - subvert this desire by creating two very delicate skins that at their most dense moments completely hide the interior of the building. These two skins exist for environmental and programmatic reasons - to shade the interior of the building and to provide different levels of privacy - but they are also a subtle reference to what Aristotle understood as the “phainomen” or phenomenon, when he argued that to truly discover the nature of the world, we had to peel away the different veils of what appears (the phainomen). In this sense, our whole cladding system acts as a series of veils that as one peels them away become the understandable nature of the building. In addition, this emphasis on superficiality and appearances exists in accordance with the program of the sports complex, which nevertheless does not mean that we are treating our building in a superficial way, at least not in the modern connotation of the word. On the contrary, as Greek philosophers noted very early on, appearances are as important as the real thing, if not only because the real thing is only graspable through our perception of the phenomenon. As Kant wrote many years later, we can only perceive true reality through the veils of time and space; similarly, our building is in itself veils that appear and disappear.

CHANCE FAVORS THE CONNECTED CHANCE & URBANISM The relationship of architecture and urbanism is at best tenuously complimentary and commonly misrepresented in its intentions. Architecture therefore has a role not to define interaction and social behavior through intervention, but rather to allow for spatial potential to be described by its participants. Rem koolhass writes, “if there is to be a new urbanism it will not belong on the twin fantasies of order and omnipotence, it will be a staging of uncertainty; it will no longer be concerned with the arrangement of more or less permanent objects but with the irrigation of territories of potential”. We define “territories of potential” as areas where chance manipulates the environment for its users. Commerce, culture, infrastructure and the population using the space define potential through interactions of chance encounters. We as designers cannot always predict how space is used but it is our responsibility to define its connections and its potential ultimately allowing chance to define what is to be interpreted and represented on an individual basis. We believe that variable types of chance encounters are at the heart of successful urban places and are key in the development of a new cultural community. The Hoboken Housing Development seeks to link and connect all factors of chance, physical and psychological, to a new infrastructure of social housing and dynamic public spaces. Seeing potential in the housing, commercial and public areas, these spaces mingle and cross along strategic lines throughout the site. Similarly, the housing and commercial towers seek to link inhabitants, both visually and physically, to spaces inside and outside their respective apartments.

Connections through scalable infrastructural elements will provided access and encourage movement through and onto the site. This network of cars, bikes, trains, and people will form a new movement infrastructure that defines potential areas of greatest fluctuation and therefore allowing the greatest degree of chance encounters or interactions to occur. Identifying areas of chance through the evaluation of movement infrastructure provides delineated areas of chance whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inter connectivity and robust transference of people, commerce and environment create an accessible network of chance.

NETWORKED CHANCE Steven Johnson said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chance favors the connected mindâ&#x20AC;?. On the Hoboken terminal site the potential for chance to interject into the cultural is connected through multiple forms of infrastructure. These different routes of differing populations arrive in zones of potential to mix and appropriate opportunity through chance interactions.

IN-BETWEEN CULTURES DIASPORA (CULTURES OF THE IN-BETWEEN) The processes of transformation and difference, which occur within the cultures of Diaspora, derive an intrinsic mixed identity that straddles memories of the past and the present. These diasporic cultures exist, not as a new singularity, but within a conscious state of the in-between. Nether fully in the past nor the present, the state of the in between is a connected territory of commonality, empathy, hybridism, and discomfort. Materializing an experience of the in-between is the fabrication of a fractured connectivity. Cultural relationships promote understanding and shared past experience, but physical distance and fractured cultural separation promote a formal operation of an isolated state (in-between). conditions of the multiple in-between The purpose of thisSuch pavilion is to provide spaces for are to be relaxation, explored within the new Museum of the Arts of the contemplation, and social interaction.

Using the active light zone, which can be described as a dynamic hybrid condition of sun, shade and shadow, the building is voided to allow for a dynamic light experience. The void created by the light Boolean operation is a physical manifestation of the place of the in between. More specifically the void is meant to be experienced as a place of transient destinations and memory; physically materializing the fractured and in-between state experienced by cultures of Diaspora.

derived from one continuous strip that wraps around itself, while touching the ground in minimal locations. The density of the slats is based on three density types: The densest zones are designated for walking and sitting, the medium zones are designated as backrest locations, and the lightest zones are meant for shading. This pavilion will act as a beacon to entice a passerby to come over, sit, and relax.

Using light to influence geometric decisions allows for a level of control when designing a museum. To take advantage of natural and reflective light a series of operations, such as shadow and light activity levels, were implemented on site to generate a geometric boolean that can be processed through the museums programmatic and environmental parameters.

COMPOSITE VOID SHAPE

BRIDGES AND THE FRACTURED EXPERIENCES* Hybrid light conditions, both natural and artificial, create spaces of duality and difference. Connecting them is a process of movement, time, and memory. From gallery to gallery bridges are introduced to facilitate the experience of traversing the site and the void. The bridges are a condition of isolation; small, short and minimal they exist as a physical point of the in-between. Their fractured viewpoint of the galleries previously visited and the path ahead reinforces the lack of identity created by the status of the in-between places. The brief re-introduction of past memories and the fractured connections to places are a common experience of the Diaspora. The void, bridges, dynamic light environments and fractured surface conditions help emphasize this state and provide a physical experience for the cultural indeterminate and in-between.

WHERE DOES YOUR ENERGY COME FROM? As a political issue, climate change is often hard to relate to on an individual level. Through small incremental steps the climate is changing and it is only in large moments of disaster that we realize the impacts of our energy use and its relationship to the environment. The air-lab therefore sets itself in an ambivalent new york and strives to redistribute information on energy and climate change within single and multiple building situations. Through the use of reactive structural members and their corresponding programs, the public will witness the cycles of energy and their relation to it. Connected to Local sources of energy as well as new technologies produced in the Lab. Flow of energy are passed through the structural members enabling a energy glow to visual display the track of energy information. The structure are connected to specific sources of energy so that the public is always aware off there energy use and the types of sources they come from.
