Initial Process Sketches

The implementation of the Boeing Envisioneering Center is to provide a catalyst for redefining collaborative design through: campus connectivity, maintaining visuals of productivity, and the hybridization of programmatic elements, circulation, and site conditions. The intentions are to promote a multi/interdisciplinary environment by connecting a variety of programs within the facility: establishing a collective research culture where many contributors and innovators can feed off each other. These innovators all embody a common interest, vision, and ethos.

02 SOCIAL LIVING [TRANSITIONAL HOMES] AFFORDABLE HOUSING [MICRO HOUSING] [SAN FRANSICO, CA]

[ITERATIVE HOUSING SOLUTIONS]

Social Living[Affordable Micro Housing] Winter 2014 Professor Brad Deal Brian Delaney

In my research on social statuses and mobility in relation to personal happiness I found that the biggest hindrance is the lack of help from one social class to the next. Connections are needed for upward mobility across typical social boundaries. The critical motivation required for this transition is created through a continuous visual and physical interaction with across different social classes. Programmatic elements such as clothes shares, business incubators, and activity spaces facilitate these social connections. These active spaces, throughout the residential program, are more comfortable and versatile due to the strategic incorporation of natural lighting and ventilation. Elevators at each floor open onto active shared spaces prompting interaction among the residents. The project will treat and clothe those transitioning from homelessness and provide them with occupation in each space for residence, advancing their cultural and human capital. Also, having micro apartment and hostel-style units maximize social interaction, accommodate more residents, and allow for a lower cost of living.

Massing Process

Project Information

This project was to apply a holistic approach to a domestic urban context at multi-family scale. The program explores affordable housing for emerging professionals and transitional dwellings for the homeless through the emerging trend of micro housing. The site is located in the SOMA (South of Market) district at 535 Mission St.

Social Living

Natural Skin Ventilation A light weight tube framing structure is attached throughout the naturally ventilated living condition. This structure consist of a larger tube frame with a small steel stud system attached. Perforated metal panels could then be mounted to the steels studs. Selected panels are to be operable in order for residents to direct warm air out interior spaces. The skin system allows the harsh direct winds to be forced vertically through the floor plates, while filtering winds in the lateral direction.

03 PARAMETRIC INVESTIGATION [GRASSHOPPER] PERFORATED SKIN SYSTEM [SPACE FRAME] ITERATION ONE [3 PART SERIES]

Parametric Investigation[Grasshopper Design] Spring 2013 Professor Dr. De Paola Pasquale Brian Delaney

Powder Print w/ Display Stand

Perforation Split

This grasshopper definition utilizes parametric design by creating a perforated skin system which allows localized light penetration. The definition sets up point attractors along a surface that can be manipulated based on its proximity to a chosen source. The manipulation of the perforations can vary, allowing different amounts of light through the skin. This ideology of parametric design can be applied to a multitude of applications. The applications are unlimited, ranging from various skin systems to diagraming shifts and large scale social interactions.

Perforated Panel

Space Frame Truss

Parametric design, through programs like grasshopper allows for endless opportunities when designing. Parametric design also allows the development of projects to be based on varying and constant parameters for more control and precision to responsive design strategies. The advanced parametric technology, in this definition, allows for the user to be able to determine a location for a point and line attractor. The location can be based on program, mechanics, structure, or many other variable.

04 GOWANUS [CANAL]

BIOREMEDIATION [BROWN FILL SITE] GOWANUS [NEW YORK]

ARCH 325 CORE STUDIO [ITERATIVE PROCCESS]

Gowanus[Flood Plains]

Winter 2013 Professor Brad Deal Brian Delaney and Trenton Mays

The Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn, NY, originally a tidal inlet and salt water marshland, was converted to an industrial water channel in the 19th century. Today the site has become a super-fund site slated by the EPA for extensive remediation. This project considers the implementation of an Urban Remediation Laboratory and Community Interpretive Center to be developed near the midpoint of the canal, near the current Culver Viaduct restoration project. The development of this project addresses the importance of architectural and scientific research as a mode of design inquiry in order to provide strategic solutions relative to our site and its possible environmental restoration. This design process involves the identification of a preliminary framework that defines proper methods of analytical and critical exploration, which eventually led to discovery and invention. This progression not only implies the gathering of empirical information based on observation or experience, but it also investigates the importance of implicit and explicit values.

Remediation Process After hurricane Sandy, four samples were taken from buildings in the Gowanus Canal area. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons or PAHs, semi-volatile compounds, were the primary contaminants found in the samples. The remediation of the Gowanus Canal is essential to help purify the water. The building and site are designed to function as a filtration system that remediates the canalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water through layers of phytoremediation. The various tidal heights flood the site, exposing the water to a layered retaining wall system. tHe specific wall heights are based on seasonal tide studies.

Roof Paneling System / Future Alternatives The roof panels are attached to a pulley system that raises and lowers as the tides changes, which cause the panels to slide over one another. The panels are perforated in a water pattern. as they slide atop each other, the shadows cast down into the programmatic spaces. These shadows allow the occupants to experience effects of exterior water changes in variety of ways.

Once the Gowanus Canal is remediated the interior partition walls of the research lab will be removed for future development. The first conceptual idea, a Multiuse Micro housing , would utilize the concrete cores for plumbing and structural systems. The existing core and operable roofs to become a multiple pavilioned park. Both ideas would utilize the flood site conditions and Interpretive Center.

05 POLYHEDRAL [PODS]

DISASTER RELIEF [LIFE SHELTERS] [HAITI]

CATALYTIC TYPOLOGIES [ITERATIVE HOUSING SOLUTIONS]

Polyhedral[Disaster Relief Shelter] Winter 2014 Professor Brad Deal Brian Delaney

In 2010, a massive 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti. Over the last four years there has been a drastically slow recovery process. This slow recovery is due to the lack of large scale organization, urban planning, and misuse of funding. To help solve this process, there must be a predetermined system and plan of action for when a future disaster strikes. Asystematic structure must be created that will house a variety of functions that are key to healthier living.

Housing Cluster Diagrams

Pod Amentities

On a smaller scale this structure must include secure sleeping quarters for a multi person family. It also should have features that will benefit the well being of families in which it houses, such as clean water, electricity, and sanitation. On a larger scale, an organized urban planning system must be taken into consideration when designing the smaller system. This project will be designed to give immediate help to the victims by giving them shelter. Within six months to a year, a secondary set of units will be deployed that house water, sanitation, and Micro-CHP bioenergy units. This system will allow organized planning to be done in the vertical direction to minimize negative tent city sprawl. With misused funds, the new system should influence a more sustainable economy. Once land is freed, the open land will be used for urban farming.

A single unit consist of two water filtering cisterns and two sanitation pods. These pods will supply water tanks for fours housing pods. Each unit contains a central Micro-CHP Pod, which turns methane gas into energy. With various connection points, from pod to pod, shared water, sanitation, and electricity is allowed.

Weaire-Phelan Structure

The Weaire-Phelan Structure is a complex 3d structure that represents idealized foam bubbles. Like the Kelvin structure, the spaces can be partitioned into cells of equal volume with the least amount of surface area between cells. This process attaches one irregular Dodechadron and one Tetraidecahedron. This system can connect 8 Tetrakaidechedrons by one Dodecahedron, per unit.

06 SORBENT [ONE]

DISASTER RELIEF [OIL SPILL PRESERVATION] [GULF OF MEXICO] EVOLO [SKYSCAPER COMPETITION]

Sorbent.one[Disaster Relief + Oil Preservation] Spring 2013 Evolo Competition Professor Dr. De Paola Pasquale Brian Delaney and Remington Bard

The idea for this project is to create a more immediate response time for the retrieval of vital oil spilled into open waters. This system would be closer to the spill sites and would allow for oil and water filtering, oil research, and oil storage. The Sorbent building system revolutionizes the oil industry and limits the amount of oil waste world wide. Sorbent.One, the first building prototype, acts as the main center for emergency response to oil spill accidents. The building will house an advanced system of oil recycling technology. The buildings main program areas include: an emergency oil spill response center, a medical center for faster medical attention to oil rig employees, research facilities to discover better understanding of the oil recovery process, as well as lease spaces for corporate oil offices. This building system could be placed worldwide where there are high concentrations of oil rigs. This would provide more efficient safety for rig workers and will benefit from a more effective method of cleaning costly oil spills.

Housing Platform Main Program A housing platform acts as a direct link from the vessels to the remaining program. The platform rises and falls with various tidal conditions.

The main programmatic elements, including oil research labs and tanks , of the project are positioned vertically to make use of the gravitational pulls for oil flow throughout the building.

Formation Diagrams

Separation Tanks

The key functional aspect of the project ,being oil separator tanks, is positioned as a vertical direction as well. This allows the water to separate from the oil and drain out from the bottom. Also this allows the oil to be gravity fed into research labs.

Separation Tanks

Structure

Structural columns were added for structure, as well as a track system for the base platform to rise and lower.

Oil Dispersal

A centralized dispersal system circulates oil and water mixtures back and forth from the separator tanks to the research facilities. The building elements are pushed outward for this addition.

Initial explorations on sea sponges influenced the overall formal qualities of this project. The absorbtion and filtration process of the sponges were used to derived the form.

Form Shift

Formally the massing of the building was brough back towards the structural supports. This helps to maintain the balace and stability of the building during uneasy weather conditions.
