RE_FAB MOBILE FABRICATION LAB // SEMESTER 09-10_URBAN DESIGN BUILD STUDIO_ JOHN FOLAN // IN COLLABORATION WITH SANDRA KAYLANAN, NOELLE WHITE, MATT , PITTSBURGH PA.

RE_FAB ( short for Re-fabrication ) is a mobile lab that is designed to house digital fabrication equipment. Such equipment includes a CNC router, 3D printer, laser cutter, and vacuum former. The structure that holds the equipment is all fabricated from digital equipment. The structure is milled from a CNC machine. The skin is fabricated from a laser cutter. This project is in process and is set to be completed by May of 2014. The function of the lab is to bring digital fabrication to the general public and high school students. It will serve as an educational tool that can be mobilized around Pittsburgh to expose students of all ages to emerging tools in digital fabrication. For example, the 3D Printer is becoming more versatile and prevalent. It may still be too expensive and difficult to maintain with the limited resources of Pittsburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public schools. Therefore, students may not have access to this technology. By making the technology mobile, it will be possible to bring it to schools and other community organizations which would allow interested individuals to gain exposure to such tools and skills. This opportunity can be very empowering to those who would otherwise be unable to access this sort of training. Finally, the mobile RE-FAB will allow construction work to occur on-site, in Pittsburgh neighborhoods. Cases where this may be especially useful are retrofit projects of aging homes or other buildings worth preserving. With the effects of time on the exterior and differential settlement to the structure of these buildings, they often require very specific, custom parts to be fabricated for rehabilitation. In these cases, it may be possible to save a trip or two, by being able to take measurements on site, and immediately after, fabricate on site. Through this capability, there will be no trouble with missing measurements, and multiple trips back and forth from the fabrication shop can be avoided if a piece does not fit as designed. The flexibility of the design will allow this mobile unit to adapt over time and take on functions other than originally intended. This is the ultimate goal of the project - to serve any and all future needs for fabrication in Pittsburgh communities.

LOW INCOME HOUSING // SEMESTER 07_ISSUES OF PRACTICE _ JOHN FOLAN // UPTOWN, PITTSBURGH, PA.

This is a house that is designed to fit the context of Uptown, Pittsburgh. It incorporates the historical, economic, social, and environmental issues that are currently addressed by Action Housing INC. The design process consisted of four fundamental considerations : project scope, development, logistics, and funding.

The design needs to be a net-zero building with an emphasis on thermal heating given the conditions of Pittsburgh, PA. The surrounding homes had the advantage of geothermal heating in the brick construction, however that method of construction would be too expensive in this situation. The walls are designed to be R30 with rigid and fiberglass insulation.

The project began with a core understanding of what types of development would succeed in this neighborhood. Given the zoning, historical context, and location to public transportation a residential home was chosen . The vacant lots 165 and 167 at the corner of Forbes and Seneca allowed for a duplex house. The demographic and key buyers were young professionals either working at the nearby hospital or in graduate school. Diagrams were produced regarding potential layouts, zoning regulations, and existing conditions. The clients placed a key emphasis on historical preservation of Forbes Ave. The plan was the duplex housing was derived from what was marketable to young professional. The concept was that the young professional could purchase the house and rent out until he or she decided to convert the house into a family home.

In order to sustain the long term revitalization needs of Uptown, Action housing INC is determined to increase home ownership in the neighborhood. There was research into funding opportunities for this design. Potential induced Urban Redevelopment Fund, Commonwealth financing Authority, and Community Block Grant. The design was than re-evaluated by the clients to determine design in relationship to cost. The final soft and hard cost added up to $515,000, making the sale of each house $257,000. At the final client presentation, Action Housing suggested that one of the duplex be sold as a low-income house which would allow it to receive tax credit. The integration of medium income families while providing housing opportunities to low-income families fits the needs of the neighborhood.

MEDIAN INCOME OF PITTSBURGH NEIGHBORHOODS

$50,000 - $75,000

HOUSEHOLD INCOME

DEMOGRAPHIC STUDY 50% of those who live in Uptown have a household income of less than $10,000. However, 45% of those who work within a mile radius of Uptown earn over $40,000. This 45% can therefore afford homes over $116,000 and make for strong potential residents. In addition, Uptown is located between the second and third largest financial regions in the state, so there is potential to attract greater investiment into the area when the seeds of development have been planted.

$35,000 - $50,000 $25,000 - $35,000 $15,000 - $25,000 $10,000 - $15,000 <$10,000 5

FLOOR PLAN

This site needs to be either two houses or a duplex because of zoning and building code. The duplex design is chosen because it saves cost on construction, heating/cooling, and plumbing. There is a shared wall that will contain all of the systems - plumbing and mechanical. The first floor is a public shared space with open living, dining, and kitchen areas. This is determined because of the young professional market and because of savings to construction cost of an open floor plan. The second is a loft space containing a study, bedroom, and bathroom. As well as access to a balcony. The third floor is designed with the same program. This design allows for the entire floor to be rented out. The clients requested that one of the two duplex be sold to low income, while the other can be sold to a median income individual or family. The design of the floor plan accommodates that because a low income individual can purchase the house and make profit from rent until he or she can purchase the entire house for a family.

FACADE TREATMENT

The clients requested that the house respond to the typology of Forbes and Seneca. Above is a diagram of the massing, fenestration, ornament, entry, and door type. The design was iterated multiple times until the client was satisfied with the facade design. The typology study indicated that this building should be brick construction, however that would exceed the budget. The primary facade material used is cedar wood siding, the warmth and beauty of which will weather to compliment that of the surrounding neighborhood. The horizontal lines created by the application of the wood on the facade further respects the horizontal lines of the surrounding brick buildings. US Steel CORTEN AZP is also a primary facade material. The material is painted to resemble the beauty of weathered COR-TEN but has the benefit of being resistant to corrosion.

SUSTAINABILITY _ THERMAL MASS In Pittsburgh PA. high heating cost is one of the main concerns to all home owners. This makes thermal massing a primary aspect of the design. The walls have an R value of 34. Each townhouse will be divided into 3 zones: the double height living space, and each of the bedroom spaces. The in-floor air vent heating in the double height living space will create a convective current, causing the rising hot air to continually recirculate and be reheated at the ground floor level, ensuring warmth in the living spaces. The vents in the bedrooms will be on individual thermostats, giving occupants individual control over the temperature of their sleeping spaces. In summer, chilled water will run through the system to provide cooling. In addition, cross-ventilation will be promoted from the windows on the north facade of the house, up through the atrium space and out to the roof terrace, creating a cool breeze to improve comfort.

LOGISTICS : HOW WILL MATERIALS ARRIVE AT THE SITE? HOW WILL TRAFFIC CHANGE DUE TO CONSTRUCTION? . Most materials will arrive by truck stored in a shed on the construction site until used A trailer cart will also be needed for on-site, shelter. These structures will be first trucked to the site with the safety fence. The construction will obstruct the normal pedestrian and vehicle traffic flow, however, Seneca has a seven-feet wide flexibility to allow passage.

PEDESTRIAN ON SITE WORKERS

The bus stop will be slightly intruded with the commotion happening on site, so we propose temporarily situating the bus stop near the next lot on Forbes. Incoming workers have two choices of parking lots near the lot - both within 3 minutes walking. As mentioned on the Locations page, bus routes 61A, B, C, D, 67 and 69 also pass through the site, making a convenient work place for bus users. For more information on bus routes and access, refer to Location, PS3.00-3.01. OFFICE TRAILER

Excavation and site demolition will require a light duty excavation truck that is 3’’ in width to be trucked to the site. Next the concrete foundation will be poured on site with a concrete mixer truck. The rest of the sequence follows that is described in the assembly sequence diagrams and notes. A typical day includes: importing materials into the site shed, then using the newly shipped materials in the storage shed, then disposal of waste and debris.

PROJECT RE_

// SEMESTER 08_URBAN DESIGN BUILD STUDIO_ JOHN FOLAN // IN COLLABORATION WITH KYLE WOLTERSFORF, PITTSBURGH PA. PROJECT RE_ will be a construction workshop facility providing job and skill training programs for community residents and educational constituents. Utilizing green building practices, Carnegie Mellon students and trainees will produce housing prototypes for challenged communities in Allegheny County and Western Pennsylvania. It is the vision of PROJECT RE_ partnering organizations for this project to seed largescale implementation of green building practice and eventually work with commercial industries to mass produce the PROJECT RE_ prototypes with community-vested ownership. PROJECT RE_ is proposed as self-contained educational workshop facility to be located in a 7500SF space at Construction Junction. Components will include a portable 8’W X 20’L workshop/storage facility for tools and equipment. The sides of the shop will open vertically to provide a sheltered footprint of 24’W x 20’L x 10’ H, enabling equipment to be placed under canopies when moved. A project budget and equipment list is attached (Attachment A) describing the scope of PROJECT RE_. The workshop, designed and constructed by Urban Design Build Studio (UDBS) students utilizing sustainable building practices with re-purposed materials, will be the anchor of PROJECT RE_. Heavy equipment and large scale tools will be mounted in adjacent areas of the UDBS leased space. This facility will serve a community workshop used for establishing job training programs that will provide skills related to advancing a culture of reuse including design, repair, and entrepreneurship. It will allow the UDBS students and faculty to prototype and build at full scale year round and seed larger scale implementation of green building practices with work deployed in adjacent communities.

FARMERS MARKET // SEMESTER 06 _ADVANCED STRUCTURE _ JEFF DAVIS // PITTSBURGH , PA.

A market hall needs to be flexible. The venues, whether they are tables or booths, should be shifted depending on the needs of the sellers and buyers. The next question asked is what type of structure will support this flexible floor plan spanning up to 40 ft. The masted structure was explored following the precedent of Richard Rogerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Patcenter. In addition bridges and the Pittsburgh convention center done by Rafeal Vinoly was studied. The core forces is placed on the center column. The roof truss and the angle of the tension cables allows for the forces to be distributed. The exterior walls are then held in tension. This allows for the exterior walls to operable and open up to Penn Ave and Penn Circle. The Market consists of three flexible spaces. The configuration of the floor plan is derived from the site plan. The market halls are modular and the administration space is tucked between each of the markets. On the first floor this includes loading in the back restrooms. On the second floor the administration space consist of a cafe and offices. The center columns are at a height of 98 ft. The exterior walls are each 20 ft width and rotating at the center point.

ENVIROMENTAL CHARTER SCHOOL // SEMESTER 05_SUSTAINIBILTY AND SYSTEMS INTEGRATION_ JENNIFIER GALLIGHER // NINE MILE RUN PITTSBURGH , PA.

Pittsburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest ecological problem is the combined water lines that cause sewage overflow in Frick Park and into the Three Rivers. This site chosen for the Environmental Charter School is on the outskirts of Frick Park. What Frick Park has done successfully is design series of wetland ecology that allows the run off water to be filtrated rather than the water sewage system. This minimizes the sewage overflow into the streams. The site is located on top of a hill adjacent to a nearby stream. The topography is contoured so that rain water is filtered through the campus and the bio-swale system before entering the stream. Public circulation is meant to guide a user through the process of bio-filtration. Starting off the collection of rain water in the parking lot, wet lands, collection and testing labs, and finally the clean stream. This Project was showcased by Carnegie Mellon School of Architecture to the NAAB accreditation board in 2011 as a landscape and sustainability student project

SITE SURVEY Transect of Frick Park to understand topography, vegetation, and historica data of the site.

PRIMARY ECOLOGICAL ISSUE AT NINE MILE RUN _ SEWAGE OVERFLOW Run off water and sewage water are not separate pluming systems. As a result when there is moderate to severe rain, both sewage and rain water is drained into the Three Rivers. For the City of Pittsburgh to resolve this issue more than 50 billion dollars will have to be invested into the sewage system. The cheaper method is to create new means for run-off water to be stored.

WHAT SYSTEM WOULD BEST WORK IN THIS ECOLOGY_ WETLAND BIO-SWALE This diagrams the wetland vegetation that is currently used at Frick Park for their wetland ecology. The swale on the left will collect the storm water run off and will allow it to soak into the ground at a slower rate. An adjacent walkway will allow visitors to understand the collection process.

DESIGNING A BUILDING THAT LEAST IMPACTS THE EXISTING TOPOGRAPHY AND REINFORCES THE ECOLOGICAL SYSTEM The campus consists of three buildings : administration, lecture hall, and classrooms. Each building faces the center courtyard where the rain water is being collected and filtered before entering the local streams. The placement of each building is dependent on access from Frick Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nine Mile Run entrance and the existing topography. Circulation is shown in the diagram below.

Public Circulation From the parking lot on the north side to the Nine Mile run entrance

Student Circulation The center courtyard and the connection to each of the buildings.

Roof access Zones where the roof cannot be sloped for the rain water so it is made into public roof tops.

CATENARY ARCH

// SEMESTER 04 MATERIALS AND ASSEMBLING _ CHRISTINA CHEN, SUNG HWANG, MATT ADLER, MAX PARK, ROHAN RATHOD, JACOB RUSSO, SAGE ALTENHOFEN, AND ESRA ARA // DALE CLIFFORD // GREAT HALL , COLLEGE OF FINE ARTS

The assignment was to create a catenary arch structure using only plywood and mechanical joinery. Our design consisted of three intersecting laminated arches spanning about 12â&#x20AC;&#x2122; each, with a final height around the same. These larger pieces were assembled in slotted sections and then were anchored to timber footings that we cut to the desired angle of intersection. These larger pieces were assembled in slotted sections and then were anchored to timber footings that we cut to the desired angle of intersection. The hexagonal canopy system is tree-like: it emerges as a longer segment from each footing and is resolved in tension at the middle-most hex joint. The joinery is completely customized based on the angle of intersection with each canopy ligament, and hence was milled with a 2.5-axis CNC.

PROCESS The construction of the arches consisted of milling the molds. Luan plywood was than cut down to the right width and laminated over a 48 hour period. The canopy consisted of milled pieces that were assembled off site.

ASSEMBLY The project was erected in 18 hours total and was removed soon after the final canopy connections were set in place

The BIOME line is focused on understanding four categories: computational design, artistic expression, digital fabrication and modeling techniques. Our final intended output is ten wearable items of clothing, each piece exploring what it means to translate digital design into visually unique wearable fashion. In order to realize this goal, we’ve exacted rigor in measurement, fabrication, and post-processing. What we have learned thus far is that digital fabrication is not successful in isolation, that there is pre and post processing that is far more time consuming than the worth of the final product. BIOME is exploring is creative means to redevelop the work flow of 3-modeling by fully understanding the four categories. The biome line is about exploring the organic expressiveness of nature through digital modeling and fabrication. Despite the foundations in the ‘cold’ and ‘rigid’ logic of computation, digital methods allow for the realization of a rich set of organic forms. In many ways the power of computational tools is in giving structure to complexity. This property is the same one that makes the organization of ecosystems and the organisms within them so rich and beautiful. This line is thus about merging two worlds that have too long been separate: the abstract technologies of human animals, and the biomes that have fostered them.
