A site has a memory. The incremental economic reality of small urban business and radially emanating zoning dicta renders the outerboroughs a space rife with palimpsestic interventions. In this project, a two-story brick building housing a multitude of community oriented enterprises is directly built upon and extended. In the process, the direct imprint of the original building is both retained and extrapolated forward in time, resulting in an architecture of conceptual impurity appropriate for the messiness of everyday life.

This house can only exist in a Chinese-American context. Openface courtyards of the sanheyuan strain are scattered throughout, creating hierarchies of compression and self-reflection. Tectonic tropes from the American vernacular of wood-framed houses are exaggerated and celebrated. Concrete foundations rise to eye level and above to link earth to heaven, no longer content to an existence subservient to the facadism of ‘street appeal’; while wood studs encased in a museum display celebrate the miracle of engineered lumber, an artificial reflection room facing a curated slice of nature.

A previously renovated pair of convents undergoes another transformation. One is transformed into a private residence for a large extended family, invoking the material memory of a South Asian heritage. Nature is encapsulated indoors, forming a porous house within the house and creating a gallery of dynamic spatial relationships. Home is a space where disparate elements operate as a collection of mutual borrowings, where clashes between building and garden, traditional and contemporary, handicraft and mechanization can be amicably resolved.

The conservationist force of the New York City Landmarks Commission is often portrayed by those who view themselves as avantgarde to be an outdated institution. This renovation of an early 19th century townhouse understands the Commission’s motivations to both preserve and enhance the design of an extension. A parametrically derived perforated shutter systems collapses the memory of multiple layers of the townhouse’s history a new ornamental language for the current era.

The residual conditions resulting from a process of archaeological subtraction are accepted as is, allowing for the infusion of quotidian architectural iconography with new functional payloads.

Manhattan, New York, NY B.Arch Thesis - Urban Public Infrastructure SP2015 John Zissovici, Sofia Krimizi

New York’s vertical space has long been occupied by private enterprise, a realm of security and inaccessibility, of power and exclusivity. The provision of public space throughout the history of the city has existed under the auspices of dominant political and economic forces. Within this urban paradigm, public space has generally been restricted to the ground plane, unable to wrest an independent existence from the forces of capitalistic architectural power. The Manhattan skyscraper type, traditionally representing a multiplicative conquest of privately owned land, must therefore be reconsidered as a new platform for supporting publicly accessible spaces. By extending existing horizontal public realms into vertical space, a new public infrastructure can assert its autonomy from the private sphere. This thesis therefore proposes the reintroduction of public space as an autonomous infrastructure which weaves into the vertical fabric of the city as a means of addressing this demand, and in the process producing a new understanding of the meaning of so-called ‘vertical public space’, a new set of architectural types which are developed to produce a dialectic between vertical and horizontal, public and private.

As this infrastructure gradually expands throughout Manhattan, the provision of public space gains specificity by adapting to existing formal and programmatic needs in their respective contexts. In the process, connections and pathways which weave between and into existing buildings reject both the insularity of the skyscraper condition and the limitations of the street grid. Instead, it suggests new pathways and new subneighborhood relationships which could not have conceivably occurred at ground level, with linkages serving a certain fantasy in the infinite exploration of how such an idea may propagate itself throughout the entire city.

E 67 ST

The architectural invasion of existing buildings represents a forced reintegration of private program back into the public realm of the city, reducing the formal and spatial autonomy of the Manhattan skyscraper. The distinction between public and private occupancy, while still recognizable, becomes increasingly blurred as connections and points of conflict and ambiguity accumulate, resulting in a rewiring of occupational relationships within the urbanism of Manhattan.

form of elevator cores descends upon the city, inserting themselves within the residual voids of city blocks or appropriating existing building elevators for its own use. Vertical conduits extend the public realm into previously unknown elevated zones, supporting the insertion of a series of new ‘vertical’ public spaces which take advantage of the formal and programmatic opportunities afforded by the third dimension. These vertical public spaces become symbolic formal gestures which draw attention to themselves by virtue of asserting their own form of visibility within the city, paradoxically becoming ‘functional follies’ which derive their monumental importance from the fact that they are calling attention to their own existence as well as marking an entry into this public infrastructure.

Front Street, Owego, New York Town Hall SP2012 Amber Bartosh Aaron Goldstein, Luis T. Graveley

The town hall for Owego is envisioned as an urban microcosm which rescales, internalizes, and reenacts the interchange and activity of a town. Public functions are contain within stratified volumes which are suspended from a matrix of truss girders. A glazed ceiling canopy, perforated facade, and interior circulatory armatures are also hung from this structural system. Lighting conditions vary between spaces; the meeting room receives indirect reflected light from light monitors, light enters the atrium through a suspended fritted glass ceiling, and smaller volumes facing the street receive northern light filtered through a perforated screen. “Exterior” views join seemingly disparate and isolated spaces to one another. Due to the slippage and shifting of programmatic volumes, multiple spaces may be inhabited, both physically and visually, simultaneously.

Fumihiko Maki steel, wood, rockite Structural Systems Mark Cruvellier SP2013

The design of the Fujisawa Municipal Gymnasium by the Japanese architect Fumihiko Maki can be understood as a modern interpretation of traditional forms. The structure of the building is an exercise in manipulating the physical characteristics of steel. This model, constructed over the course of one semester, explored the representation of structural details and overall framework of Maki’s Gymnasium in miniature scale as a means of understanding overarching structural concepts and latent hierarchies within the building.
