JunkTopia Gansevoort Peninsula NYC, NY Waste Management
4 | SITE ANALYSIS
Site Analysis Map
JunkTopia is a fantastical urban theme park, showing the role of humans in the greater cycle of waste, and exposing the inner workings of waste transformation to the public eye. JunkTopia tackles the issue of the invisible, celebrates the “unsightly” and draws attention to the waste, the historical omission, and oppression of past inhabitants of the site. By humanizing the experience of waste, JunkTopia provides a scaffold for learning about the unfamiliar. Knowing where there is a lack of knowledge, there are fear and distaste, Junktopia closes the gap between the marginalized and the larger public.

10 | SITE ANALYSIS
Mapping Analysis
Through experiencing the different climate zones and programs, the weather museum explores the interrelationship between humans, animals, and their microclimate. The project reacts to the problem of pollinator extinction by raising bees for Allegheny County and providing habitats for the songbirds.
10 | ICONCEPT
Concept Diagram
The Environment, Form, and Feedback studio explores the relationship between architecture and ecology. It built on the idea that architecture is a part of the larger planetary ecology. The three different sclaes of climate analysis ties both the audience and design togther. Ultimately, the project aims to increase biodiversity and sustain urban resilience.

Human Traffic and Hours of Operation
Hours of Operation during Planting Season: 6:00 AM – 7:00 PM Hours of Operation for Farmer’s Market: 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM Hours of Operation during Winter: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Wind Analysis
9:00 am – 5:00 pm Dec – Feb (Winter Season)
7:00 am – 6:00 pm March – May (Planting Season)
7:00 am – 6:00 pm Sep – Nov (Late Harvesting Season)
7:00 am – 6:00 pm July – Aug (Early Harvesting Season)
Unfortunately, both the summer and winter wind come from the same direction in Pittsburgh. Since the project prioritize design against the cold weather in the winter, most service programs will be located at the southwest corner as wind buffer. The design should include outdoor space that will experience the nice summer wind and will not be heavily used in the winter season due to the cold weather. Yet, other sunny and wind protected space should be design for the rare and nice winter days. Summer Wind Winter Wind
18 | SITE ANALYSIS
Shading Analysis
For Pittsburgh, between May and June, over 137 hours of 80 degree sun radiation lasts from 10AM to 7PM. Since sun is an asset for Pittsburgh in the winter, no shading device is needed. However, shading device will be needed for the summer. The depth of shadng device depends on the height of the window, as shown in the diagram to the right.
Design Recommendations South Facing Glazing
Extended Outdoor Living Solar glazing admits direct sunlight into a space for passive heating in winter.
Sunny and wind protected space
Thermal Mass
Window Glazing
Low-E glazing on West, North and East. Clear on South.
Thermal mass – masonry floors, walls and/or ceilings – absorb and store daytime solar heat in winter for release at night.

19 | SITE ANALYSIS
Environmental Learning Center is a sustainable building that explores a subtractive form-making process to collect water and solar energy while acting as a central hub for the local community. The connection between people, culture, site ecology, and architecture determined each cut of the overall massing.

The projected started with understanding the correlation between form and EUI. Although the square massing has a lower EUI, it will have lighting and ventilation problems as the project process. Thus I chose the second lowest EUI massing as the initial massing.

22| SECTIONS
Section A
The concept for spatial layout is to draw people into the most public courtyard space then diverse them. Public and semi public programs are spread out through the building to engage the users to walk through the central courtyard space where diverse of people will have interactions. Most private zones or service spaces are located on the ground floor so farmers can easily access them. The office is located on the second floor with view into the farm land.
Section B
By placing the service areas on the southwest corner, they serve as protections from the winter wind. The west facade should have the least openning according to EUI study. Thus, the service areas for farmers are located on the west. The south facing side included programs that require the sun, such as cafe, farmer’s market, greenhouse and the office. Classrooms are located at the north side for better lighting.

Although the annual glare analysis shows a 37% overall disturbing glare, it is caused by the great amount of solarPublic requirement for the Bioshelter. Places such as classroom and office, which are sensitivePublic programs to glare, are designed to have little glare disruption. Market
