prEfACE The City as Campus: A Studio investigation on rio El Hadi Jazairy Over the last decade, Rio has experienced significant urban development impacting major parts of the city. In the years to come, the city’s form and performance will be further challenged by its hosting of two global events: the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games. These major events promise to significantly transform the economy, structure, and image of the city. While the immediate interest is focused on the success of these events, the potential contributions of such investments for the population at large and their ability to leverage multiplying effects to the youth in particular remains unaddressed. The task of looking ahead at Rio’s urban development is an opportunity to explore the institutions of higher education in the city for their potential ability to shape the longer-range future of the region. The Campus Rio Master of Urban Design studio proposes to rethink learning facilities in the context of the growing city of Rio and its hosting of major global events. The studio explores the potentials of articulations between educational environments and the global “event-transformations” of the city? What are the collective and public dimensions of the program, and what constitutes the public? How does the academic/learning space organize activities, social events, scholastic and urban life? The objective of the studio is to foreground research and design across scales, taking advantage of the relationships between individual buildings, the campus field, the city, and surrounding geographies. The studio engages the geographic condition as a site of inquiry and intervention challenging students to develop campus strategies that investigate the role, nature and agency of design in this context. What are the urban and architectural strategies that best frame the relations of campus, city, and geography? How does an urban campus model interact with the wider region – in terms of users, physical facilities and academic programs?

iNTrODuCTiON Located in the western part of Rio, the neighborhood of Deodoro is a patchwork of peripheral zones comprised of middle class neighborhoods, a densely populated favela with a young population, an industrial area, a vast green reserve, as well as the military neighborhood of Vila Militar, home to Brazil´s largest barracks and Latin America´s largest military concentration at over 60,000 soldiers. The grounds of the military camps – formed of large inaccessible blocks, parade boulevard, and barracks, further disconnects the different zones of the Western neighborhood. The city has expressed interest in relocating the base and many of its 100-year old facilities in order to accommodate the upcoming mega-sport events as well as Rio’s demographic and infrastructural expansion, particularly as the neighborhood is well connected to Rio’s downtown and surrounding suburbs by two major commuter rail routes, the country’s primary highway (Avenida Brazil) and an incoming Bus Rapid Transit line. The transformation of Deodoro was already initiated with the construction of venues for the Rio 2007 Pan American Games. Rio’s hosting of the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games sets the possibility of projecting an urban condition for the city’s fringes. The Campus Rio studio proposes to strategically overlay an educational campus on a patchwork of isolated enclaves consolidating the region’s environmental integrity while seamlessly weaving the accommodated new urban growth with the existing context. The following 11 proposals simultaneously reveal both a speculative vision for Deodoro’s future, and serve as a model for continued urban expansion in Rio.

Harvard University is an American private Ivy League research university located in Cambridge, Massachusetts and was established in 1636 as the oldest institution of higher education in the United States. Contributing to Boston’s elite brain trust, Harvard University is part of a network of five universities spread out across the city. The campus is positioned in the center of Cambridge and its layout and road infrastructure act as an organizational tool for both the university and the city. The main road intersection node, Cambridge Commons, is potentially located away from Harvard Square to create a more pedestrian friendly intersection node for the campus. Open space in Harvard is connected through a network of yards, quads, and quadrangles which are framed by different architectural typologies. The evolution of the campus started around the ‘Harvard Yard’ and expanded as the city grew. As the university expanded to the river the student housing became the predominant program located adjacent to the river. university case studies

The site of miT was built on fill that had been dumped into the wetlands of the charles river. The site had been intended for residential use, and was gridded with streets like Back Bay across the river, but the atea was surrounded by factories, tenement houses, and railway lines. The site was purchased by miT from the cite for $775,500-$500,000 of which was contributed by Thomas coleman du pont.

Founded by the Common wealth of Massachusetts on April the 10th, 1861, MIT possesses a 0.7 square kilometer’s campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The campus is situated on reclaimed land on the banks of the Charles River. The university has been involved in military research during WWII and has maintained its excellence in research and technology since. The buildings, Alvar Aalto’s Baker House (1947), Eero Saarinen’s Chapel and Auditorium (1955), and I.M. Pei’s Green, Dreyfus, Landau, and Wiesner building, as a part of the campus illustrate a strong modernist influence. university case studies

CAMpuS rivEr Justin Garrison Deodoro is simultaneously highly connected at a regional level through highways and commuter rail lines, but locally disconnected due to the separation between the three different lines. Within these infrastructure systems runs the Maranga River, which is heavily contaminated due to sewage and waste runoff, a common problem in Rio. The surrounding urbanization also lacks well designed and maintained open spaces for residents. Campus River aims to resolve the disconnection between infrastructure lines, river pollution, and lack of open space by using the river as an organizational tool for urban and university development. The proposed network also provides a linear park along the river which connects the entire site. The project situates itself between the hard edge of the highway and railway in an area predominantly undeveloped along the river. Through the introduction of street, pedestrian, and ecological connections, the project stitches the disjointed infrastructure and the surrounding context together. Bioremediative processes are introduced throughout the site to treat runoff and waste water as the river enters the site through natural and artificial systems. As the river flows through the site , it generates multiple urban conditions and spatial formations along the infrastructural edges, while also providing a maximum amount of open space for leisure and production. The public aspect of the park along the river is further supported by locating university structures within the open space, whereby the landscape serves as the ‘yard’ of the entire site. The different clusters of urbanization and university buildings each have their own identity and place which is connected through a main pedestrian passageway, light rail, and the river.

CAMpuS MATrix Jia Weng Deodoro is located in northwest Rio, occupying a segment of one of the three significant voids that establish the city’s image. There are four main elements found within the region’s borders: urban fabric, military camp, Olympic facility and the void. As a result of the military camp’s presence, the site is fragmented, and characterized by a series of isolated enclaves. The project positions the void as an opportunity to articulate the four elements, thus weaving together urbanization and ecosystems into a single cohesive unit. In deference to the existing topography found on the site, four view corridors have been identified and utilized as a method for organizing the site. These corridors not only articulate different enclaves but also can increase accessibility to the negative space and connect existing and new neighborhoods.

During The mid-nineteenth century, Paul Cornell launched his grand plan transforming the southern region of Chicago into a weekend resort and suburban village beyond the commotion of the growing metropolis. At the same time, Olmsted proposed a project for South Chicago composed of a dual park system - Jackson Park and Washington Park - linked by a long promenade. With the backdrop of these proposals The University of Chicago was established in 1891. The University was laid is a system of quadrangles, which was a deliberate arrangement intended to both delineate the space of the academy from the outside world and to create an architectural complex that was harmonious with its surroundings. The architecture follows the Gothic style as it was considered to be timeless and supposed to evoke indomitable religiosity and would generate a visually unified architectural schema. university case studies

This area has great potential as not only an urban center, well connected by public transport, but also as a large green space for the surrounding neighborhood. Deodoro has historically been neglected by the city due to policy and restricted land use intended to support the military instillation; however, with the 2016 Olympics games coming, Deodoro is under pressure to be developed. and modernized. As demonstrated in Barra, the current urban development strategies found in the city present tall buildings with significant densities and well-organized zoning, but lacks public spaces both in quantity and quality. This project proposes a campus that combines an academic area, with its series of open spaces, and a live / work neighborhood that includes modern typologies for housing, office and commercial spaces. This combination aims to articulate the existing void space and takes advantage of Olympic venues while presenting a distinctive urban centrality. Combining new urban development with an open and integrated landscape, the campus creates a dynamic center of activity for visitors and residents, accommodating a multitude of users within the region and beyond.

NOvO CAMpurbANO Cesar E. Simborth The advent of the Olympic Games in Deodoro, represents for the Villa Militar, and the city of Rio de Janeiro, an opportunity for urban regeneration and development. Primarily through the creation of a space that can capitalize on the equity of Brazilian society, the region’s significant youth population. The following urban design project proposes a primarily educational program in the area -University Campus- as part of a larger Post Olympic vision for the site with three intentions. First, absorb, recover and retrofit the sporting infrastructure investments on the site. Second, acknowledge the importance of Rio and its young population as one of the main assets of the country by creating a new technological center for the production of high profile professionals in the city. And third, create a sense of urban place in the area by developing sustainable urban conditions that are able to fulfill local, and metropolitan needs, contributing to the advancement of Carioca society.

SpANNiNG virTuAL vOiDS Sneha Lohotekar Knowledge not only makes one aware and better comprehend the world around them but also question it. A university campus is the ideal venue in which the unencumbered exchange of ideas and thought can take place. It is a space that doesn’t bow down to any institution or agency, but to knowledge itself. The proposal situates the campus amidst two existing agencies of the military camp and the Olympic sports facilities. While sharing and accommodating the programs with these agencies, the campus imposes a grid which forms an organizational system. This grid provides a delicate interplay between repetition and variation. The voids so formed becomes a unifying system to link the diverse programs, and its strong vocabulary over the site can be easily followed through future urban expansion and growth. This resulting design gives Deodoro an identity as a temple of knowledge and cultural exchange.

Yale is a private university located in New Haven, Connecticut, a city that offers exceptional cultural attractions for its size. New Haven is set in a diverse geographic area and has a rich New England history, an original town plan with a central public green, and a variety of architectural building styles surrounding it. One cannot understand the current physical issues of the Yale campus—for example, those pertaining to open space and landscape— without understanding the City context. Yale was chartered in 1701 to educate youth for “public employment both in Church and Civil State.” The University has always fostered a sense of responsibility to the world at large—a responsibility that Yale graduates have fulfilled with great distinction, enriching the life of the city and the nation through their inventions, artistic expression, innovative ideas, and civic leadership. campus rio
MEGA hub Shuqi He Addressing the significant break between civilian and military areas caused by the lack of transitional programs and a complicated transportation system, the mega hub proposal uses the university campus to smooth the transit and the transformation in the surrounding neighborhoods. The proposed system situates a mixed use three level transportation hub programed with a conference center, shopping mall, train station, offices and small commercial facilities serving both the university population and the surrounding neighborhoods. In addition to this central hub, the university library and primary academic building form the borders of a campus quad. Other programs such as classrooms, research labs and housing are arranged along the outer ring between the quad and the military village.

CAMpuS AS MEDiATOr Chi-An Wu The Campus as Mediator proposal aims to reconfigure the existing Magalhaes Bastos neighborhood by transforming the equestrian facility, both located along Deodoro’s western edge, to form the core of a university campus following the 2016 Olympic Games. The Deodoro region presents a complex model of interwoven networks, primarily characterized by an elevated highway cutting through the equestrian site and Magalhaes Bastos. Responding to these infrastructural constructs, the proposal aims to position the campus as a mediator, linking the area into a continuous network framed by open spaces and green corridors with a shared program that contributes to neighborhood vitality while simultaneously setting the stage for future infill. The campus is layered upon a grid of green space which extends to the existing fabric and seeks to renovate the fragmented landscape, weak neighborhoods, and unconsolidated voids. The realization of this proposal facilitates Rio’s much needed urban growth while integrating existing urban and military enclaves with the new university campus.

Jefferson’s original Academical Village with the rotunda capping the procession of residential and educational structures
The University of Virginia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site established by Thomas Jefferson in 1819 serves as one of the quintessential examples of the American style of university design. Jefferson’s original plan consisted of an “Academical Village” which an integrated mixture of residential and academic buildings surrounding a terraced lawn, crowned at its northern end by the Rotunda. This structure, which housed the university’s original library was modeled upon the Pantheon in Rome, and its design typology has influenced architectural styles across university facilities to present day. The university has grown significantly since its original Academical Village and 8 instructors, and student body of 68 to a sprawling 6.8 km2 campus with over 21,000 students. campus rio

CAMpuS bEyOND bOuNDAriES Dongye Liu Deodoro is currently divided into a series of isolated pieces, cut up by a network of highways, railways, canals and BRT routes. This proposal blurs the boundaries between these fragmented urbanisms to yield a single walkable, cohesive network. The strategy establishes base on both sides of the infrastural networks, and then allows the system to grow together. A central elevated park above the existing railway network acts as a central quad for the surrounding blocks and links the resulting urbanism together, connecting rooftop gardens and providing multiple layers for residents to move through.

CONNECTivE COrriDOrS Tim Bevins The connective corridors proposal strategically situates itself within the Deodoro Zone, spanning the void currently generated by the military camp and linking two important regional commuter rail lines with a six stop streetcar route. By siting the intervention between these existing stations, Deodoro simultaneously gains an important connection in an area that is otherwise abruptly divided by the military camp, while also introducing a network of green infrastructure systems to manage the vast amount of water that currently inundates many parts of the region due to its challenging topography and tropical climate. The resulting urban fabric is characterized by walkable blocks punctuated with a network of green infrastructure that is tightly integrated into a system of pocket parks and larger green spaces. In addition to a system of bioswales, street trees and park spaces designed to facilitate local groundwater recharge, all roofs over 3,000 sq. kilometers are required to include green roof systems which offset the structure’s footprint. The site’s monumental educational structures are modeled after the current paradigm found in Rio’s state, federal and private universities - large, highly integrated megastructures with multiple courtyards and porous, open first floors that aid cross-axial movement and blur the distinction between built form and urban jungle. The area’s mixed use core, which feeds directly from the primary street car stop is distinguished by 20 meter wide storefronts, ensuring a vital mix of programming while simultaneously supporting the air of porousness and accessibility found in the sites campus and open spaces. Finally, the proposal seeks to engender both a conscious and literal connection to the surrounding unspoiled natural context which frames the site’s northern border by linking its green corridors directly to established trails, facilitating restorative and welcome break from the otherwise all-encompassing surrounding metropolitan fabric.
