AUE Basel Switzerland - Competition e2a Architkent
Team: Sebation Lippok, Michale Badron, Michal Fok, Dustin Bush Contributions: elevation, wall section & visualization History Sustainable use of resources and energy has a long tradition in Basel. Basel-City is not only the first canton which has enshrined in its legislation since 1998, the energy suppliers are obliged to set up a power exchange, but has also anchored on the same legal level, an incentive tax on electricity consumers, which allows him with money from a surcharge energy costs for all current recipients to finance measures to reduce consumption. Thus, the Canton of Basel-City is a pioneer in the promotion of renewable energy supply. Architecture The architectural appearance follows the logic of urban Weiterbauens and structural masonry. The structure its self is facing the challenge to be able to afford maximum and wanting to be minimal. We therefore propose a robust skeleton, which is to be built with two shells of concrete. The massive frame work is reduced to its absolute minimum, depending on the facade side. The ground floor
and last floor act as a base and a crown for the building. Volume The possible building envelope, given by the building code and daylight technical conditions on the ground, appear seductive in its form and reminds significantly to the early drawings of Hugh Ferris in “The Metropolis of Tomorrow�. The initial seduction of this supposed form differs, however, increasingly a critical examination of their urban autism and their architectural acrobatics.
Hebebrand Hamburg Germany - Masterplan e2a Architkent
Team: Sebation Lippok, Markus Weck, Dustin Bush, Behzad Faramand Contributions: Diagrams & Visualization History The city of Hamburg has and will to continue to experience a rapid rate of populations growth over the next 60 years. With this population growth there comes a strong need for affordable housing solutions. The framework for the future Pergolenviertel puts a conceptual corridor starting, by developing spatial and functional. It is important for the new housing development to coexist with existing small garden plots. Architecture At the interface between City North, City Park and the former working-class district Barmbek - North serves the Pergolenviertel as a unifying element and continuation the green north-south axis from the train station Barmbek on Park Lane up to Alstersdorf. This green compound in the West and track vegetation alongside the east constitute the motive for the continuous Landscape surrounding the building . One quarter , like a landscape park, the by consciously turned to each other perimeter
development a generous and urban “ Single room “ receives . Avoiding typical Road cross sections and axes and allow the formation of an encounter zone the building rather than on the street in the Landscape stand .

Escher-Terrassen - Residential e2a Architkent
Team: Nils Döring, Bojana Miskeljin, Dustin Bush Contributions: Visualization History The project is situated in the west end of Zurich which is currently experience a large surge of development. In part due the housing shortage that is present in Zurich. This site and most of the west end of Zurich use to belong predominately to large industrial factories. Many of these industrial factories are still in operational conditions but a number of them have been retrofitted with programme more suited to the current needs of the city. The Puls fünf is a large renovation and additions which sits adjust to the Escher-Terrasen site. The Swiss find it of utmost importance to preserve the history of their past and allow it to coexist with their future. Architecture The 18 floor “High Rise” by Zurich standards was designed in connection with an existing industrial factory on the first 3 levels. The first 3 levels are mainly dedicated to the Zurich Opera as rehearsal studios. The reminder of the new constructions is for luxury high rise apartments.
The architectural ambitions are fuelled by the desire for theses luxury apartments to retain some of the industrial properties of the sites past. The use of raw concrete in a brutal unfinished manner helps to achieve this ambitions. These unfinished concrete walls act as a structural support for the building and also have a conceptual relationship with the organizational plan. The enforcement of these concrete lines creates long landscape spaces that allow the apartments to stretch from the front of the building to the back, giving the owners a view from one end of the city to the other. On the end apartment there is 180 degree panorama of Zurich city. Visualization Images were made for building owner to publish on internet site and in advertisement brochure.

Primarschule Moos - Renovation e2a Architkent
Team: Nils Dรถring, Echart Breilmann, Andera Kovac, Behzad Faramand, Dustin Bush Contributions: Visulizations Architecture The Primarschule Moos is a renovation project for an elementary school in Moos Switzerland. The project needed to come up to date with new building regulations. Mainly the exterior facade was not insulated enough and allowing water and air to leak. There was also the need for a new ventilation and acoustics in the auditorum and more bathrooms in the E wing. Contributions I worked with project leader for 2 weeks to produce a series of images that represented some of the major changes which the office had planned. 1. Exterior entry to school 2. Faculty lounge corridor 3. Bathrooms 4. Door, roof, and facade update 5. Auditorium

V4.4 La Carpio Costa Rica - Competition Graduate Thesis Team: Dustin Bush Contributions: entire project
History 4.4V housing is a housing project based in La Carpio, Costa Rica. La Carpio Is a small city located 10 Kilometres northeast of San Jose. It is a squatter’s settlement invaded and settled by Nicaraguan immigrants in the early 90’s and its population is estimated at 33,000 to 50,000 people. Architecture The projects intent is to make a provocation to the question of “what this place might be” and to provoke a discussion about “what this place might become” when thought about as a place that provides a structural frame which people might inhabit and ultimately fill with built matter and ritual. V4.4 challenges the idea of tall building by, locating it in an environment where money to build anything is
scares and also approaching the method of building from an organic method of an accumulation of parts. V4.4 derives its core principals about growth from the Japanese metabolism movement. Volume We believe the metabolist have a genius idea; they offered a buildings that could grow over time. Where they failed was accommodating for the building to absorb socioeconomic changes. This inability to absorb socio-economic change was fatal; V4.4 takes a strong position to offer growth over time while also absorbing socio-economic change. The vertical and horizontal fill types offered for V4.4 are the variable components and the structural framework is the constancy. This we believe will allow for V4.4 to adapt and exist in the specific programmatic and socio-economic climate V4.4 finds its self in.
Rain Water Collection / per unit total roof area = 19.36 m2 average rainfall = .005 m/day 19.36 x .005 = .0968 m3/day .0968 x 1000 = 96.8 liters/day
Vertical fill type The concrete block fill type produces a versatile means for constructing a façade, which responds to climatic pressures, visual pressures, climatic and contextual pressures. The opening in each of the block allows light to illuminate the interior of the block while also allowing for air to pass through. By using the logics of symmetry the block has the capacity to be inserted into itself, producing an 8” x 8” block which offers a denser barrier between these pressures. The extrusion of one portion of the block offers the textural difference, which is noticed once multiple blocks are place together.

Horizontal fill type Rice is a staple of the Costa Rican diet and is a sensitive subject in trade talks. Potentially, production could be high enough for national self-sufficiency, but at a substantial cost to either the national budget for subsidies, or the pocketbooks of the poorest citizens, if exports are excluded. Rooftop rice garden can yield 19.25kg of rice per harvest in the poorest areas of Costa Rica, like La Carpio rice, and beans are the main source of food. For the citizens of La Carpio we have discovered a way to deflect the rising cost of rice. A fill type for the V4.4 Housing project can produce 19.25 kg of rice per harvest. Which is enough rice to feed most 4 person families for 3+ months.
Folding Martha - Idea Undergraduate special topics Team: Dustin Bush Contributions: entire project
History Folding Martha was inspired by Origami which is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding. Origami directly translated is “folding paper�. The goal of Origami is to create a sculpture by transforming flat sheets of paper through folding. Folding Martha takes the idea of folding and adds a spine to the folds. It was required that all single sheets of paper be join on one edge via a spine. The spine acts as an origin of reflection for the sheets, creating a unique outcome when a single of multiple folds are introduced. Architecture Folding Martha is an investigation into the idea of folding by applying a single fold or multiple folds. the folds can be measured against the constancy of the spine that all the pieces share. changing the folds with each book creates difference within the series.
Update The project has intentions to explore the idea of spines and there direct relation to the end result. The spine variations are in development now and should make themselves present in the next year. With the introduction of the new spines the dimensional constraints and folds will be maintained in order that the constancy of the folds can be measured against the inconstancy of the spines.

Fundecor Research Center, Coast Rica - Competition Graduate Design 9 Team: Dustin Bush Contributions: entire project
Hisotry Fundecor is a Costa Rican non-governmental organization founded in 1989 to protect and develop Costa Rican forests located in the central volcanic mountain range. The forest coverage of this territory is one is one of largest of Costa Rica and includes many of the country’s national parks. The conceptual basis of the organization builds up on the principle that conservation and productive development must coexist in harmony. With this mission in mind fundecor designed the strategy to create profitable marketing alternatives for forest owners.
push volumes to bridge to hills
avoid existing trees
Architecture The intent of this project is to establish strong lines that inform the architecture within the building as well the architecture of the forest that surround the building. The building is composed of two lines weaving through a forest. The buildings weave was design to cause minimal impact on the landscape by avoiding as many trees as possible. in the process of avoiding the trees the building made visible 5 lines of trees which are all used in the construction of the building.
