Odaiba Waterfront Master 1st Year Instructor Tsukamoto Yoshiharu Groupmate Matilda Emgard | Yi Shi | Kosuke Tamura

Odaiba, an artificial island, was firstly built in the end of the Edo Period (1603-1868) in order to protect Tokyo from the threats from across the sea, escpecially from America.

Several barbettes were built on the Island and that is also where the name Odaiba comes from. Odaiba has now been transformed into one of the most popular tourist attractions and date spots in Tokyo, equipped with a lot of entertainment facilities and some shopping malls.

As an island, the coast is definitely the most attractive part and also with the most potential. We foucus on the coast, analysizing the existing resources and activities which can be separated into three categories: Often, Sometimes, and Rare, and based on that, extract three types of communis: Unlocked, Partly Unlocked and Locked.

Based on the results we concluded from the resources, and make minimum changes on the site to unlock as many communis as possible. Our design is to modify and create a series of piers along the waterfront reference to the existing piers. The new design provides more opportunities for public to get closer contact with the major communis, offers them diverse activities related to water, and unlock other communis at the same time too.

Therefore, to create a more lively, dynamic, attracting waterfront environment.

Folding Stability Master 1st Year Instructor Takeuchi Toru Groupmate Maximilian Fritz | Han Tao | Fang Gege | Peng Chao | Keita Moriyama

The purpose of this workshop is to design an open space in Tokyo Tech campus, not like existing inner spaces which mainly designed for specific uses such as ceremonies, lectures and club's activities, it provides both the festivity in events and the ordinary in usual times. This proposal is supposed to make up the central area in this campus together with the well known cherry trees promenade, the Centennial Hall and new library.

It is a cooperation project together with architectural students from Southeast University and engineers from ECADI, to maximize the uniqueness in both creative and structural directions. According to the bending moment diagram, we used folding technique to enhance the stucture of the large span roof, made the roof and columns as thin as possible.

Therefore, the visitors' first impression of the school can be maximized and the structure itself can be merged with the environment. The space underneath the roof is carved with different shape to provide different possibility for different group of people.

Antinomy Master 2nd Year Instructor Okuyama Shinichi Groupmate Tam Kinlaam | Che Jin

Learning from Kazuo Shinohara.

Antinomy: A contradiction between two statements that seem equally reasonable.

This housing design is a study result of four styles of Kazuo Shinohara and a proposal of concept of the 5th style and using the site of his last project House in Tateshina.

As a consideration and combination of House White and Black Space, to rethink the use and definition of space. Therefore, the design is mainly connected by two contradict spaces: white underground space and dark aboveground space, and a self-examination tearoom. By go through the circulation of the house, visitors can experience the extrame spaces one followed by another, and leading to reconsideration of the meaning of space.

The shape of the house is the combining of perfect geomitries such as equicrural triangle, circles, and perpendicular line of ground.

Responsive Landscape Undergraduate 3rd Year Instructor P. Michael Pelken Groupmate Xue Yang

This project aims to collaborate with the new sewage system for Thames Tideway Tunnel Project to design a public program. We want to join the South Bank Employer's Group (SBEG, aims for improve employees', residents', and visitors' daily experience).

Therefore, we proposed a Nature & Culture Park to extend the existed activities along the South Bank.

The proposed design is a constantly changing landscape, so it can respond to the daily tidal height shift and seasonal programs' changes. The responsive landscape can create multiple kinds of spaces and atmosphere for the needs of certain programs by pulling the units out for different length. And because of the changing programs throughout the year, employee, residents, and visitors will be attracted to the Nature and Culture Park.

Concrete From Heavy to Light Undergraduate 4th Year Instructor Roger Hubeli Groupmate Jennifer Joanne Li

Syracuse Center of Excellence is a federation of firms, organizations, and institutions that creates innovations to improve health, productivity, security, and sustainability in built and urban environments. The assignment is to build a new concrete research lab next to the CoE main building, and it should included a public lecture hall, a large working/docking space (highbay), different kinds of workshop, and 20 individual offices and labs.

This design aims to celebrate two extrame different kinds of qulitity of concrete. The outer frame is made by vertical concrete panels to show the elegant lightness quality and inter volumn is made by rough precast concrete panels to show the solidity of concrete. These two different strctures works together to form a special condition both environmentally and mechanically.

RADIANT FLOOR SYSTEM

RADIANT CEILING SYSTEM

Radiant Floor uses hot water generated by active solar panels to heat up the inside office building in winter, and the building can works as a machine to radiant heat to the outer zone.

Similar as radiant floor, radiant ceiling cools the office concrete floor slab in summer. Then the concrete office building works as a cooler for outer zone.

VENTILATION AIR OUTTAKE

Mechanical ventilation for office zone and lecture hall zone share one air package, but have two separate control systems.

Same as air intake, office zone and lecture hall zone share one air package and one chimney, but have two separate control systems.

They have one side with French Windows towards highbay, so general public can see the process of manufacture concrete. Above the lecture hall is a roof terrace connects with break room in the office zone, so the roof terrace can serve as an interior exterior relaxing space.

HOT-AIR SYSTEM

WATER AND SEWAGE SYSTEM

Hot-air system is used for the heating in the highbay. It heats up the boundary of the building first and use concrete floor conduction and hot air convection to heat up and ventilate the space.

Tilted roof is used to collect rain water and the water is stored in the water tank in the basement.

The water will be filtered, then to be used either for radiant floor/ceiling or water needs in the labs.

Sunlight Angle Diagram

Program Zoning Diagram

The sun angle in Syracuse changes from 72.76 degrees (summer) to 25.75 degrees (winter). The roof of the building is tilted to be better matched with sun angle, so the active solar panels on the roof could be more efficiency.

Based on different environment condition needs, the whole building could be separated into three zones: highbay, lecture hall, and office. Therefore, different HVAC systems are applied into different zones.

Double Facade - Summer

Double Facade - Winter

The double faรงade can serve for stack ventilation. The roof concrete panels will be heated up by sunlight and generate warm air around roof to help with stack ventilation as well. The windows at both faรงade can be operable to create natural cross ventilation. The windows for office is higher than the windows for outer faรงade to have a more gentle ventilation.

The space between double faรงade can serve as a buffer zone in winter. Therefore, the energy needed to heat up the interior office building could be reduced.

At the same time, the office building can work as a heater to heat up the interior exterior space.

Summer - Natural Ventilation Stack ventilation within double faรงade helps with the ventilation inside of the offices. There is cross ventilation to help the natural ventilation in the highbay. They meet in the center of the highbay, and ventilate out through roof operable windows.

Winter - Buffer Zone The highbay space serves as a buffer zone. So the space closer to the office building is warmer because the interior building would radiant heat out. The whole interior building will work as a heater.

Pre-Cast Faรงade Panel Four Vertical Faรงade Panels are casted together with one horizontal beam at back to connect them.

Connect pre-cast concrete slab and double-glazed window with the piece just made. The whole piece will be 5 feet by 10 feet. Then bring those finished pieces to site to put them together.

Small is not Less Living and Working in Omotesando Master 1st Year Competition

The aim for the project is to design a small scale house for three people in Omotesando district, where commercial program started to merge with daily residential life.

In my proposal, the three people will be friends with unrelated professions, handcraft maker, coffee maker, and writer. They all have their own private bedroom space, semi private working space, public sharing space for three of them, and central open space which public can enter. The working space will become a soft link for the private space and public space. And since they are sharing the central public space, they can use it to benefit each other.

The life style indicated in this design is that, even though the physical space is limited, people can live and work without restriction by sharing life together.

Movable Jinggan Structure Undergraduate 4th Year Instructor Julie Larsen Groupmate Xihao Chen

“What becomes deeply interesting out of this method [of repetition] is pattern. When tied to information, pattern becomes the fundamental quantity of the diagram. A system of differential repetition becomes a means of handling a variety of material within the same organization.�

- Jesse Reiser, Variety vs. Variation, Atlas of Novel Tectonics The assignment is to define a pattern of repetition through modularity in computer first. Then try to build the pattern in reality. Our intension is to build a Jinggan Structure, which can self-support, and form a special shape. From digital to physical, we want to make a movable model to show the process about how the shape changed from beginning to the end by shrinking and rotating. And we use different material to highline the connection part.
