Q U E E N S B O R O C U LT U R E Feeding Manhattan Manhattan, New York, USA

echnology and industry transformed the USA during the Second Industrial Revolution. Nowhere was this more evident than New York City, which was transformed from a sparsely populated former Dutch trading outpost to a big player in global trade and industry within the space of 50 years. Central to New York City’s growth and cultural heritage was the meat industry. Enabled by a series of large infrastructure projects, New York City’s meat industry became one of the largest in the world, however, since the 1930’s, increasing land prices have progressively forced both the meat industry and the network of supporting delicatessens and butchers to close or relocate. Current predictions estimate a growth in global population to reach 9.7billion by 2050.

one of the world’s most meat-consuming nations about sustainable production. Returning to Manhattan’s legacy infrastructure, the project is located below Queensboro Bridge, intensifying under used space and offering a foot bridge to Roosevelt Island. The ground-bearing portion of the scheme houses an intensive, largescale, cellular meat facility, offering affordable meat products. The mid span is occupied by a number of ‘bio-alotments’, allowing New York City residents and small businesses to experiment with their own meat production. Central to this span is an open public space, allowing views up and down the East River and celebrating the location. Finally, on arriving at Roosevelt Island, there is a new Deli, where experimental meat production can be tested.

This increase, combined with economic growth in Less Economically Developed Countries, is expected to result in an almost 70% increase in caloric requirement globally, largely from increased meat consumption.

In the pioneering spirit of Manhattan’s infrastructure, the long-span structural system is ‘biomimetically’ informed, developing a typical ‘box girder’ to a central ‘spine’ system, which is highly differentiated in response to load conditions and programmatic requirements.

This increase far outstrips the capacity of present agricultural methods and would use more than the total availability of drinkable water and over 60% of the Earth’s landmass. The so-called ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’ offers some potential solutions to sustainably satisfying this demand, through biotechnology. Cellular Agriculture is one-such technology, enabling meat and other animal products to be lab-grow, using a fraction of the space and resources.

STEEL

Steel was previously not cost effective for construction until the introduction of the Bessemer Process. The typically 2.14% carbon content of the ‘mild steel’ used in construction made it brittle, however, improvements in ferrous metallurgy allowed this to be reduced.

Modern steel is substantially more ductile that Wrought Iron and has higher tensile strength.

1865

Substantially less brittle than cast iron (due to it’s low carbon content of <0.08%). This meant it could be rolled, welded and riveted. This allowed for fabricated structures and was used in the construction of St Pancras Station and the Eiffel Tower.

First licensed factory to use the Bessemer Process opened up in the USA in Troy, New York.

INFRASTRUCTURE [DE]CENTRALISATION

“Now that the Pennsylvania tunnels are completed, and a resident of Flushing can go from his home to Herald Square in sixteen minutes, and without change of cars, now that the Great Queensboro Bridge is open to traffic, and a Flushing resident can go for a single fivecent fare by trolley in the fibest cras in New York over this bridge in thirty minutes, and with the prospect of the Steinway Tunnel being quickly opened, tens of thousands of New York’s increasing population will take advantage of and enjoy the same invaluable priveleges that have previously been the privelege of only thousands.” New York’s Premier Suburban Colony - 1910 Business Men’s Association of Flushing Since the turn of the 20th century, the nature of the city centre has changed hugely; large manufacturing has moved further from the city centre and better infrastructure has allowed people to travel further and live further away. Increased decentralisation after the mid-20th century has moved manufacturing still further from Manhattan, however the early decades of the 19th century saw a particularly critical change in the nature of New York City. Suburban factories drew wrokers to the suburbs, where relaxed building regulations allowed many families to build their own homes.

INDUSTRIAL NEW YORK [DE]CENTRALISATION

“In the nineteenth century, the railroad emancipated many industries from reliance upon water transportation. Factories became freer to locate away from central port areas along radial radial freight lines and suburban spurs. Then, early in this century, changes in manufacturing production began to provide active incentives for factories to move out of the centre.” ‘Industry and residence: The decentralisation of New York City, 1900-1940’ Richard Harris - Journal of Historic Geography, 19, 2 (1993) 169-90 The ‘Second Industrial Revolution’ saw an un-precedented period of mass construction of urban fabric and infrastructure in New York City, with a huge amount of large infrustructure projects at the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries: accomodating the growth in manufacturing industries. This growth changed the form as well as the size of the city; factories were changed, expanded and began to move to suburbs, with an unprecedented growth in blue-collar suburbs between 1900 and 1940.

THE FOOD LANDSCAPE OF INDUSTRIAL NEW YORK

The development of New York City is intrinsically tied to its food heritage. Only 16 years after the founding of New Amsterdam the few dozen farmers and millers were exporting flour to Europe and by the mid 19th century, New York rivalled Chicago as the centre of the Americn grain trade, distributed via the Erie canal and Hudson river. After 1850, Cornelius Vanderbilt’s New York Central Railroad constantly supplied some 22 grain elevators on the Manhattan pier, the largest holding 2.3 million bushels. Until the end of the 19th century the area between 5th avenue and the Hudson River was filled with backyard piggeries and bone boileries on each block. Pigs may no longer roam the streets of Manhattan and the silos are long gone, but the legacy of food in shaping New York City remains; from the street names and waterfront to the plethora of ex-industrial buildings, the heritage of food lives on.

FOOD + INDUSTRY THE [SUB]URBAN FACTORY

Between the 1800’s and 1950’s, sugar refining was one of New York City’s major industries, importing raw sugar from the West Indies and Deep South, refining it and exporting through out the norther states. In 1857 Frederick C Havemeyer opened a seven storey factory in Williamsburg (The American Sugar Refining Company, which sold the ‘Domino’ brand), using the latest technology developed in Europe. Its initial production of 300,000 pounds of sugar per day exceeded the monthly output of all the other New York refiners. By locating the factory in Williamsburg (Brooklyn), Havemeyer could build directly on the East River, where ships would dock and unload good straight to the refinery. The Williamsburg site was one of five major processing plants owned by The American Sugar Refining Company (now ‘Domino Sugar Corporation’), with plants in Baltimore and New Orleans. Since the 1950’s, a combination of land costs and increasing public hostility to factories in the city, all of New York City’s sugar refineries have closed. The introduction of high fructose corn syrup in the late 1970’s saw many traditional sugar refineries become obsolete. The Domino refinery was the last in New York, closing in 2004. Today only the Pan, Filter and Finishing House stands; with re-development of the site imminent.

THE BIOFUELS NEXUS

The ‘Renewable Energy Directive’ mandates that at least 10% of all energy in road transport fuels, be produced from renewable sources by 2020, with the EU following a similr directive. On the back of this, some governments are planning to produce 10% of all transport fuels from biofuels by 2050. This impacts the available land for crop production, as outlined below.

The statistics illustrate that there is potential to substantially reduce available food calories and agricultural land in delivering 10% of road transport fuels from renewable sources. As such, changes from current farming practice are required to increasing the efficiency of biofuel crop production and deliver the required biofuel energy.

MANHATTAN 2050 AN AVOIDABLE FUTURE

By 2050, the global population is predicted to rise to 9.6bn, with a 60% increase in calorific requirement. As Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meat consumption continues to rise steadily Less Economically Developed Countries will move out of poverty and increase their meat intake exponentially. Our present agricultural systems simply cannot accommodate this increase without drastic environmental consequences; water shortages, extreme land use and exhaustion of resources. This images envisages a dystopian Manhattan, it captures the erasure of cultural heritage in a world where food and water are scarce and land prices have skyrocketed.

Of course this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only option - this project sets out to provide a statement about a better way forward; intensifying production, with a more intelligent use of land and resources and an engagement with cultural heritage. Manhattan has a rich heritage of meat and food culture. In siting the project in Manhattan, a major city in one of the largest global consumers of meat, the project aims to stand as a statement of a possible alternative to the current stutus quo of manufacture which has been developing since the mid 20th century. Achieving this will require a careful approach; simultaneously looking forwards to recent advances in technology made possible with the Fourth Industrial Revolution, whilst looking to the past to be deeply rooted in place, context and heritage.

CELLULAR AGRICULTURE TECHNOLOGY AND POSSIBILITIES

“Some folks have big plans for your future. They want you - a burger-eatin’, chicken-finger-dippin’ American - to buy their burgers and nuggets grown from stem cells. One day, meat eaters and vegans might even share their hypothetical burger. That burger will be delicious, environmentally friendly, and be indistinguishable from a regular burger. And they assure you the meat will be real meat, not just ground from slaughtered animals.” Ryan F Mandlebaum

A series of biomimetic investigations lead to developing the typical ‘box girder’ system to brace the façades and transfer load to a central shear wall, using a series of optimised downstand beams / bulkheads. This system allows large openings to be made to the facade where required.

TYPICAL BOX GIRDER

Load transferred through outer shell - structurally onerous to make large openings.

Most load transferred to shear wall Vierendeel facade allows large openings - restrained to central shear wall.

DERIVING DESIGN LOGIC

Truss - competes visually with bridge above

Vierendeel Truss - Feedback from the structural engineer highlighted that a vierendeel system would be impractical for the very alrge span without smaller than acceptable horizontal centres of members

In order to make the box-girder span element habitable and maximise East River views, it is necessary to introduce openings to the shell. Moment diagrams reveal that this is best introduced closest to the middle of the span, where forces are lowest in magnitude. The diagram opposite describes the logic of the design proposal, derived from the principles of standard systems.

This lead to the design of a strut system attaching to a ground-level ring beam surrounding the existing masonry arches. An elegant and efficient design was required in response to the existing stucture, the logic for which is outlined below.

SUPERSTRUCTURE - MANUFACTURE

COMPONENT / IN SITU CONSTRUCTION COMBINATIONS Structural reinforced concrete typically takes the form of either pre-cast or in-situ cast systems and combinations of the two. The diagrams on this page explore the options for where precast / insitu concrete systems may be used.

PRECAST CONCRETE

INSITU CONCRETE

Fewer limitations to panel size - transportation to site is not required.

Limitations to panel size

Monolithic product: NOTE: shows pour and mould marks et cetera.

On-site jointing required

Less control over surface finish and tolerance High level of control over finish

AN IN SITU CORE: It is proposed that external shear walls and service core are constructed in situ for a homogenous surface finish. These elements are fairly straightforward shapes and should be achievable on site. AN ACHIEVABLE FINISH: To achieve a consistent surface finish, a process that can be achieved on and off site to the same standard is essential.

ENVELOPE + SECONDARY STRUCTURE LOGIC AND PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES

Facade logic is driven by the arrangement of primary structure.

At points of highest loading in the main span, the primary structure forms a solid enclosure, with no penetrations

As the moment reduces, the box girder develops into a central ‘spine’ in the elevated section. A frameless glass screen in inserted between structural shear walls for maximum translucency. Where the box girder develops into a central ‘spine’ in the ground bearing part of the building, the deck is no-longer required, so a logic of secondary infils is introduced. 01 Annodised aluminium rainscreen 02 Ventilated cavity + insulation 03 Annodised Aluminum soffit board 04 Connection to primary structure 05 Secondary structure 06 Exterior Glazing 07 Annodised aluminium cover 08 Slim sight-line edge profile 09 Internal Glazed screen 10 Primary bracing

2018

At the centre of Unit 14’s academic exploration lies Buckminster Fuller’s ideal of the ‘The Comprehensive Designer’, a master-builder that follows Renaissance principles and a holistic approach. Fuller referred to this ideal of the designer as somebody who is capable of comprehending the ‘integrateable significance’ of specialised findings and is able to realise and coordinate the commonwealth potentials of these discoveries while not disappearing into a career of expertise. Like Fuller, we are opportunists in search of new ideas and their benefits via architectural synthesis. As such Unit 14 is a test bed for exploration and innovation, examining the role of the architect in an environment of continuous change. We are in search of the new, leveraging technologies, workflows and modes of production seen in disciplines outside our own. We test ideas systematically by means of digital as well as physical drawings, models and prototypes. Our work evolves around technological speculation with a research-driven core, generating momentum through astute synthesis. Our propositions are ultimately made through the design of buildings and through the in-depth consideration of structural formation and tectonic constituents. This, coupled with a strong research ethos, generates new and unprecedented, viable and spectacular proposals. They are beautiful because of their intelligence - extraordinary findings and the artful integration of those into architecture. This year’s UNIT 14 focus shifts onto examining moments of pioneering sentiment. We find out about how human endeavor, deep desire and visionary thought interrelate and advance cultural as well as technological means while driving civilisation as highly developed organisation. Supported by competent research we search for the depicted pioneering sentiment and amplify found nuclei into imaginative tales with architectural visions fuelled by speculation. The underlying principle and observation of our investigations is that futurist speculation inspires and ultimately brings about significant change. A prominent thinker is the Californian Syd Mead who envisages and has scripted a holistic vision of the future with his designs and paintings. As universal as our commitment and thoughts is our testbed and territory for our investigations and proposals. Possible sites are as such global or specific to our visits, as much as the individual investigations suggest and opportunities arrive. Unit 14 is supported by a working relationship with innovators across design. We engage specialists, but remain generalists, synthesising knowledge towards novel ways of thinking, making and communicating architecture.
