TECHNOLOGICAL PARK Location: Rhode Isand NY Professor: Hannibal Newsome | Fall 2020 Focus: Making the “invisible, visible”

The city of Providence is known for its major industry and international port. There have been many issues with the industrial pollution caused from high demands of the area. Many people are ignorant to the polluting substances caused from technology, but these problems should be exposed. Our cultural legacy is technology which relates to the data and the substance from the capitalist leavings that result from it. We often pay no attention to the substance, the negative parts, and the negative reality that comes with technology and the process of creating technology.

For this project, the normally private industrial area is transformed into a technological park combining both industrial substance and technology. The industry area is divided into zones with organization schemes, and the creation of four main landmarks: the data center, sculpture park gallery, and learning center. The focus is specifically on the analog and digital data center that shows the nuances of technology and the capitalist substance. It shows how the negatives come with the positives and acknowledges this duality.

Organized by the surroundings and by social and educaitonal strips, the park contains aspects of a normal park and fuses the industrial side so visitors can enjoy their time while experiencing something new. As visitors travel through the park, there are many different attractions that they can interact with. The data center itself uses recycled material from the scrap yard. The specific material used is carbon steel which is good to use when strength is needed, however it is vulnerable to rust. Once the metal is rusted, it leeches into the water turning it orange. The water is a feature traveling through the park and around the scrap yard. The water then gets treated on site showing the process of how to clean the water.

The exterior of the data center features equipment so that Providence residents and students can enter the main entrance of the building and be very close to the equipment. Usually the equipment is sheltered, private, and off limits. This offers a unique experience exposing these systems. A double layer façade protects against heat gain which is beneficial for the building because of the high cooling demand for data centers from producing so much heat. Inside the data center, the floors layout creates a main atrium space. There are four structural cores - two holding analog data and the other two holding digital data. The digital and analog data cores use machinery in densely packed equipment to be able to hold more digital data and analog data. The library uses a vending like system where people can type in the book they want.

Transforming the normally private industrial area into a public space acknowledges our legacies while creating a more culturally impactful city. This concept transforms the city into a technological park that makes the “invisible, visible.”

Rusted Water From Carbonn Steel

Carbon steel -

Recycled material from scrap yard.

Particularly efective in applications where strength is needed.

Carbon steel is more susceptible to rust and corrosion than other types to steel.

Water treatment

Potassium permanganate is used extensively in the water treatment industry. It is used as a regeneration chemical to remove iron and hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg smell) from well water and is used additionally to treat waste water.

ECOLOGIE RADICALI Professor: Daniele Profeta | Spring 2021 Group Members: YuJie Chen, Camille Cosmiano

The bathroom is a space for two ecologies, media and bacteria. It is a place of socialization, sexuality, media expression, and health. However It is also just as much a place for physiology and bacteria.

From a non-human perspective, a bathroom can be a small space but it connects to bigger systems in the outside world with its pipe infrastructure. As humans, we are sharing this space in various forms as a community with other entities that are not human.

The community is treated as a living organism that mediates multiple ecologies. The way of life is a continuous cycle of eating, digesting, composting and farming. Composting and a complex water system becomes important in sustaining life and the community. The systems extend from the normalized programs, for example eating-dining-compost-farming. The goal is to recreate the relationship between bacteria and living. The normally separated cycle of programs becomes integrated together such as compost oven and farming storage. The section looks at the two ecologies of living and digesting/polluting have constant juxtaposition and tension between the two. The building itself becomes a living organism and each room is a unique ecosphere in itself. We come together as a community and acknowledge both ecologies and live together at peace with each other.

21ST CENTURY MUSEUM FOR 19TH CENTURY WATER Location: Syracuse, NY Professor: Timothy Stenson | Spring 2019 Focus: Landscape Design

This public board walk connects nature with industry. The construction of water in the region is reflected throughout the design. Using a lock system to control water levels passing under the boardwalk connecting to the research lab reflects the historic aqueducts used in the area. Elevating the infrastructure off the ground allowing circulation below reflects the bridges that are in the area. The park is a piece of infrastructure that is a projection of history. The board walk has a heavy cast in place concrete bottom that contrats with the wood surface and steel frame structures creating a more dynamic experience. The three sequences of the main enterance, vehicle access and trail, allowing people to experience the project differently depending on their purpose at the park. The board walk has two main buildings, one being the museum with the library, exhibition and viewing tower and the other being the research lab that uses the lock system that controls the water height that can flood one side of the exterior platform allowing for testing. The main vegetation spaces are the main park space, marsh land, bridge top garden, the tree trail and the children public vegetable garden. Combining the industrial buildings with nature allows for a unique experience that allows modern day poeple to epxerience the history of water and surroundings of the Syracuse area.

MICRO HOME Location: Adirondack Mountains Professor: Daekwon Park | Fall 2019 Group Members: Yaqi Zhang, Yian Liu Focus: Building Systems

Located in the Adirondack Mountains, the Curved House explores the outside world with a big window in front of the bed. The Curved House is composed with a loggia outside the house and a curved wing that acts as the living space. The fireplace heats the house and the wood material on the inside wall of the house brings warmth to the interior. The sloped roof is designed to keep the snow off the house and vertical wood columns suspend the structure above the slope to create a flat surface. The curve serves as a counter thesis to the common rectilinear shape to encounter nature in a softer way.

ONONDAGA LAKE Location: Syracuse, NY Professor: Timothy Stenson | Spring 2019 Focus: Landscape Design

Two main gallery spaces are dedicated to the Onondaga area’s history, one about the history of onondaga and the other about the lake. The gallery on the lake has extending piers that grants a connection and shared space between the lake and interior. The gallery on the land has an exterior garden space that has six stripes representing the six Iroqouis nations, Mohawk, Oneida, Tuscara, Onondaga, Cayuga and Senaca. The organization of the park creates a central quad that is surrounded by the galleries, a greenhouse and ampitheater that is further more enforced but the surrounding trees, water and marsh land. The grid from the roads of Liverpool was extended and implemented as an organizational strategy for the park.

SPECIAL COLLECTIONS LIBRARY Professor: Mathew Finn | Fall 2018 Location: Syracuse, NY Focus: Techtonics

This project produces an architectural response to the unique condition of the library’s collection and to the opportunities to create special lighting conditions on the interior. With the duality of Surface and Depth, and my analysis of the “Composition with Large Red Plane Yellow Black Gray and Blue” (1921), my goal was to integrate the ideas of the duality into my project. Using surface, screen, and void on the exterior of the project affects the view of depth into the building and continues to change depending on your location. There is a hierarchy of volumes which emphasize the main volume, the density space which hangs on the building.

LIGHT GALLERY Professor: Mathew Finn| Fall 2018 Location: Syracuse, NY Focus: Techtonics

The special collections gallery occupies an edge, allowing the building to create the transition between the outside street and interior. The art on the interior of the building is directly affected by the special light conditions created by the windows and wooden structure. There is also different light condiditons and experiences throughout the day.

The windows are specifically placed to create specific views of the outside, framing certain views of the surroundings to create a unique experience that you will not get anywhere else.
