2021 Eco-Cult_Ecologically Inclined Cultural Center UNI Design Competition First Price | Antofagasta, Chile

Inspired by the ancient constructions made by the natives Changos, and learning from the accumulated knowledge of local architecture and its thermal principles, the project aims to be a unique space for artists and for the people to produce, showcase, exchange the creations and experiences by all means of different medium.

The Past and Future of Antofagasta

The site is located about fifteen minutes walking from the city center and is next to the historic railway path that transports the raw material from the mining industry to the outsides and into the port. The surrounding area is mostly configured by low-rise residential buildings with the exception of some medium high and one high rise building.

The project envision to be a key culture knot in the future setting. After the closure of mining site and cargo railroad infrastructure, the brown field can be transformed to a series of green spines, connecting all public space and culture venues across the city.

Regional landscape section The coast of Antofagasta it is characterized by the presence of a cold desert climate with abundant sunshine, cold nights, strong westerly winds, abundant humidity, morning mists and the absence of precipitation. This determines the main design drivers to cope with the impacts of climate.

Landform Process

2-1 Accessibility

2-2 Sunken spaces

First step of the land form process is to define public pedestrian entrance from the south, vehicular circulation for underground parking to the north.

Learning from the ancient vernacular building principles, the project put all major program sunken into the terrain.

The divisions of the openings are guided by the people flow along the changes of topography .

The roof canopy not only provide as shields sheltering the underground space, with the installation of solar panels with photovoltaic cells, the tilted angle against direct sun light can improve the harvest of solar power and guide the dominate western wind.

Resonancing Antofagasta copper mining landscape, the form and the placement of the urban furnitures help to transform the ground level into an active urban plaza, supporting the operation of culture center with bike racks, pool and playgrounds.

The organization of the building plan is a show case of how the type of open plan could allow and trigger the creation cycle of arts to happen. We envision the culture center at Antofagasta should not only be a shelter for art to be exhibited, but an incubator where for arts to be created and inspired, a public gathering forum for people to exchange their thoughts and emotion, a medium that allow form of arts to be transformed and re-interpreted.

The second step of the cycle will then be a museum and gallery, where the creation could be displayed and shown to everyone. Even though visual connections normally take a major part of the way people perceive art works, the designed space allow the natural daylight to pass through the entire museum area, to activate “time” as another key dimension of art appreciation, to stir up the sensations of other senses - touchness, texture, temperature, humidity and sounds.

Taste & Drink

The last but not the least step happens in the cafe and bookstore, where through the sublimation process, art conveys its meaning through another layer of medium, which art becomes part of the culture, vice versa. Through publications, documentings, tasting and cuisines, arts can be restored and transformed into a border culture regime, and yet to inspire next generations of arts to be created and the next cycle of arts journey to embark.

Weather Resiliency Principles

5-1 Chimney Effect

5-2 Double Roofs

With the central double/triple height space, the building can have better passive air ventilation system that can lift and pump out the hot air from the roof opening.

With the implementation of the an additional roof layer, wind can go through the space in between and help cool down the roof panel heated up by the sun light.

Thermal/Energy Flow Section

Learning from the building principles to create a passive thermal comfort environment by local ancestors, this project put together the architectural knowledge passed down through generations, with contemporary renewable energy devices.

Embedded almost entire cultural center underground, it could be naturally cooled down during the day and kept warm during the night to accommodate the dramatic daily temperature changes.

5-3 Porch Eaves

5-4 Sunken Space

The combination of extended roof, eaves and set back building facade can help to cool down the temperatur, to create a comfortable social and public space.

By sunken down majority of spaces, direct sun light access will be limited. The soil volume can function as thermal mass to keep the space at lower temperature.

On top of the sunken spaces, pedal-shape of the roof structure with photovoltaic cell embedded solar panels, set against major sunlight source facing north, can harvest the abundance of solar energy for yearly uses.

Operable windows inserted between roof structures and ground edge can further improve the air ventilation, to increase the inflow of fresh air from outside.

Local weather resiliency vegetation planted above and under the ground level plaza also contribute the biophilic design principles to public hospitality and health awareness.

2021 Amsterdam Cycling Bridge Competition Non Architecture | Amsterdam, Nethearlands

The Netherlands are renowned for their popular biking culture, which made the country a world reference when it comes to cycling infrastructure. The city of Amsterdam embeds the value of slow mobility and biking, but today it lacks a cross river connection for cyclists and pedestrians. As designers, how can we think of a bridge that would match the conflicting interests of citizens and authorities? How can a bridge become an architectural icon for the waterfront of Amsterdam?

Historically the Dutch capital has developed along the south shore of the river Ij, growing along the water and expanding in a radial way. The area across the water was for a long time neglected, mainly operating as an industrial zone. In recent years, Amsterdam-noord acquired a new focus for its proximity to central hubs and key destinations. While development is boosting, and further growth is still planned, the living density and attractiveness of this neighbourhood are transforming it into one of the hotspots of the city. For the densest areas of Amsterdam Noord, river crossing is operated via ferry, with very strong limitations in terms of availability, speed, and capacity.

Thousands of daily commuters must wait for the ferry in dedicated terminals, with an overall spent time up to 20 minutes and an often very crowded ride. In some locations this service is available only in given timeframes, leaving them completely disconnected at night time. The development of biking and pedestrian bridges, tunnels and cable cars have been considered by local authorities. There had been a continuous ongoing discussion for years, with a wide range of strategic documents and studies that compared benefits and weaknesses of each solution. A crucial issue is the cruise terminal, currently located in a very central area of the city, in direct conflict with the possibility of a bridge. Additionally, the Ij is one of the main water routes for freight boats, with very strict requirements for container height and accessibility.

Landing at the strategic point of IJ river, the Helijx stands as a multi-functional playground, celebrates a new mix-used living area between Isplein, Java Island and recreational harbor for local public. In metropolitan scale, Helijx represents as a crown jewel and complete the series of architectural destinations in Amsterdam.

Site - Pivot point along IJ

Along one of the busiest waterways in the world, so many architectural destinations could be found spread out on both banks, most of them concentrated within the ring of A10 highway, behind centraal station. From the headquaters for Clavin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, Silodam, REM Eiland, the Eye to NEMO, the IJ river is actually a contemporary architectrual wonderband never cease to surprise us with unique-designed architecture piece.

One of the dutch city-rural balancing features is the natural land in-between built-environments . From multiple scales of green open ground to open waterbody in all shape, Amsterdam offer its citizen a rather close distance to the experience of nature. From city wildlife perspective,

1-1

it forms a biological archipelago that helps to maintain the bio-diversity and natural habitats with urban area. The new bike bridge should also act as a biological passage across the IJ river.

The Noord is booming. As one of the last piece of low-developed land, construction cranes have been erected and busily working in recent years. Accelerated by the latest-opened northern extension metro line, Amsterdam noord constantly booming for future dwelling and investment object. On top of the 7/24 running shuttle ferries, a smoother and higher efficiency way of bringing people across the river should soon enter the horizon of future city transportation networks.

Concept - River Embracing

After in-depth study of the site surroundings, the strategic location of the IJ linkage could potentially bring people on both banks together and form a new mix-used living neighborhood. Can the bridge itself adds other uses to existed city facilities?

The key concept of the Helijx is to turn the limitation of river-crossing physics into its unique advantages. Ramps’ rise and run the length determined the length of the path, while the buildable site area is limited on both banks.

2-1

The bridge itself could actually “embrace” the water.

2-2

Instead of dodging between buildings, the Helijx take on a more water friendly engagement - water embracing. To reach designed height for container cargo ship to pass, the spiral structure can not only provide cyclist with multiple panorama views along the journey, but also function as a gesture of water embracing. The elevated paths lead people toward the water, while forming a protection from the busy shipping passing along the IJ river.

Locates at the west end of Java island, south side of bridge landing is right next to a school and Java hotel. The new propose bridge is set to surround the school building and branch out to land on the roof garden with additional bike access and parking area. The north side of the site is a post-industrial-building complex been transformed into several buildings for suprermarket, beer garden, office and studio for rent. With the extention from bridge’s north landing to the west, residents in Isplein can have easier access to the recreational horbur and Java island.

Plan - Multi-functionals water playground

As a spatial organizer, the path of the bridge divide the on-shore and off-shore area into several zones, each of them can function as a water playground. From it’s peak to landing on both side, several panorama platforms, seating areas and water jumping decks pop out along the entire journey. The north and south pool could served as public pool, a SUP training ground, a water motor cycle performance stage, a charging center for yacht and ferries, and more.

03 Rebirth from the Wound 2020 PANDEMIC ARCHITECTURE International Ideas Competition ARCHISEARCH.GR | NYC, USA Fighting against pandemic is like fighting against an invisible war. Without the visible damaging, doctors and nurses fighting in IC units, escalating number of death, greatest economy recessing of our lifetime; during quarantine time, all the traumas seem to happen quietly, anonymously and remotely behind the scene.

By creating a “wound” in the urban landscape, we propose an urban park that will carry the city through pandemic. A park as the symbol of the trauma caused by the pandemic, and recover it through the construction of the urban cemetery.

Our proposal is to reimagine an urban cemetery with the park function on the top and the cemetery underneath.

By adding a cemetery to an urban park, would open up more capacity to deal with the urgent sanitary condition when massive death occurred.

Through the transformation of urban public space, the wound could be a visualization of the incident, and moreover, become a public open ground for memorial and healing.

Reimaging urban public space as a place to mourn and grieve a cemetery for pandemic and a memorial site for generations to remember

1

Mass Decease in Our City

Every city was formed by the gathering of people. Rapid traveling and dense living environment make our city a vulnerable epicenter for the pandemic. Nowadays, once the pandemic spreads out in one international city, other cities are easily infected due to the deep connection between cities. Also, the medical system in the cities are not designed to cure this scale of cases and lead to massive death in a really short period of time.

Under this circumstance, it is urgent to have a solution to tackle the sanitary issues brought up by the massive death, and the emotional trauma of the people who cannot see their significant others’ last face due to the pandemic. Reimaging

urban public space as a cemetery for pandemic may be a great proposal for sanitary and for grieving purposes.

Data in the states shows that people living in the urban cores of large metropolitan areas comprise more than half of residents who live in the counties with the highest COVID-19 prevalence. Residents of outer suburbs, smaller metropolitan areas, and rural America represent far smaller shares of those living in high-prevalence areas. Persons living in large-prevalence counties are also more likely to be urban core residents. In contrast, fully two-thirds of those living in lower-prevalence counties reside outside of urban cores and their close-in suburbs.

Datums of Excavation The overall construction of urban cemetery park start from the forming of a symbol of pandemic, a gigantic hole in the middle. Later, each step within the whole process represents the metaphor of pandemic evolution.

“Land form as a symbol of outbreak; cemetery construction as a metaphor of recovering”

After the first excavation, first layer of retaining wall and shell structure provide the space for funeral activity. As the number of decease growing and the needs of interment space rising, more layers of excavation carve out more space for memorial and underground circulation, also provide the material for ritual process.

As a result, the existing urban park can function as an open space for people to escape from self-quarantine and confinement, an urban cemetery and a pandemic memorial ground.

Before Ceremony, a private waiting room provides a space for family members to prepare themselves before starts. On the way to the ritual space, the retaining wall alongside leaves the mark of the memorial of loved ones, also records the different time phases of the building process.

In the ritual space, the light through the ceiling hole shines the tomb in the middle of the water. The family gradually put ashes and the tomb block into one completed piece of tomb under the warm sunlight, as the main activity of the funeral.

Following the slope of the park, the maze After the Ceremony, the family keeps company with the tomb. All the grief gradually declines and transforms into ar- and wishes with tomb flow on the water to the center of the urban wound as eas with benches and terraces where peothe journey of healing.

Memorial for Reunion

“Aboveground meet underground; Reunion and memorial; Intimate formulation of modules”

In the center of the park, people end their journey by encountering the memorial cemetery. The sculpture-like forms constitute the symbol of the pandemic wound which is sublimed after the experience of empathy in the maze above as well as the contemplation during the funeral rituals underground.

The water is the extension of the contemplative rituals while reflecting the skylight pouring into the space underground through the open of the wound.

Hence, aiming for a gentle gesture of re-connection, the memorial cemetery becomes the space for the reunion of every collective—the public and the families, the citizens and the souls deceased—together in the city.

The modules combined with the tombs build up the memorial cemetery in the center of the park as the symbol of collective memories while keeping different levels of spatial intimacy for individuals.

2019 PennDesign LARP 704 Studio Cross-disciplinaries Landscape + Urban Design Studio | Bogota, Colombia

This studio is a case study which seeks to formulate alternative urbanization scenarios and explore new design tools that will guide urban growth whilst simultaneously fostering habitat conservation and restoration in a symbiotic manner.

The Bogotá Studio is part of a larger research initiative in the landscape department at Penn.

Richard Weller’s ‘Atlas for the End of the World’ has audited land use in the world’s biodiversity hotspots and identified the conflict zones between urban growth and biodiversity in these hotspots. The Atlas has identified that over 90 per cent of the major cities in the world hotspots are rapidly expanding in direct conflict with endangered species, and doing so in a relatively unplanned manner. In association with the McHarg Center for Urbanism and Ecology the research is now focused on a set of 33 of the biggest of these cities, more or less one in each hotspot. In June 2019 the landscape department will host delegates from these cities along with representatives from the UN and major conservation NGOs to discuss how destructive sprawl into biodiverse landscapes can be mitigated.2 Bogota, within the Tropical Andes hotspot has been selected as a case study in this research project and is supported by the University of Pennsylvania’s Global Engagement Fund.

Bogota and La Sabana 2050

Bogota is the capital of Colombia and sits within the Tropical Andes hotspot where there is severe conflict between biodiversity preservation and rapid urbanization.

The project is a case study which seeks to formulate alternative urbanization scenarios and explore new design tools that will guide urban growth whilst simultaneously fostering habitat conservation and restoration in a symbiotic manner.

Without a an environmental/territorial/urban vision, it is not difficult to foresee that ‘business as usual’ growth will result in a fragmented and dysfunctional urban system, in the virtual elimination of the remaining ecosystems, the loss of valuable agricultural land, the reduction of the production of flowers, and the encroachment of urbanization on sensitive habitats located at the urban fringe, on ecological corridors and patches, with a significant loss of biodiversity.

La Sabana as Productive Landscape The gentle topography of La Sabana, its mild climate, rich soils, and availability of water, with an area of 1,641.6 square miles, provides Bogota with a large amount of cultivable farmland, including the production of flowers -the region’s main export product-, supplying the huge demand of fresh-cut flowers in North America. While Colombia is the second largest flower produce country of the world, the Bogota area produces 76% of all the fresh flowers in Colombia.

The agricultural landscape of La Sabana is not only productive; it is also a cultural symbol of Bogota’s identity. However, due to its relatively low efficiency, the sprawl of the flower industry and lack of public transportation, the identity of La Sabana is eroding. Moreover, Bogota City is now importing a large percentage of food from other countries and local farmers and flower workers are poorly paid. Based on our research, Clombia should strive to become like the Netherlands, which produces 5 times more potatoes and four times more flowers than Colombia with only 4.17% of its agriculture land.

Population Growth and Urban Expansion

Bogota is the capital of Colombia, with a population of close to 9 million inhabitants, and an additional 1.5 million living in smaller communities located in the adjacent agricultural lands of the La Sabana of Bogotá.

The continuing population growth and “business as usual” urbanization pattern of Bogota, is causing the elimination of its wetlands and farmland. In recent years, 50% of the population of Bogota live in self-constructed settlements that lack essential public service and open space.

4-1

The gentle slope and abundant wetland resource of La Sabana not only make it a perfect land for agriculture but also make it easy to be urbanized. According to 2050 demographic projections, there will be 4 million more people in Bogota and around half of this population will likely live in self-constructed settlements. Without intelligent urban planning it is not difficult to foresee that ‘business as usual’ growth will result in the virtual elimination of the remaining ecosystems, the loss of valuable agricultural land, the reduction of the production of flowers, and the encroachment of urbanization on sensitive habitats located at the urban fringe, on ecological corridors, and patches, with a significant loss of biodiversity.

Ecological corridors feed into and extend out from the Green Heart. Through a series of wetlands the Green Heart also connects to the Bogota River, which we also propose as a riparian corridor of landscape restoration. This “Blue Vein” provides opportunities to develop a sustainable water management system and a green space system for the whole city.

Two secondary ecological corridors and the variegated river system of the site provide opportunities to develop a sustainable water management system and a green space system.

The linear green space system connects the Green Heart and the highlands at the north and provides essential animal migration corridor.

Alameda, the city bike lane system, is also proposed along with the public green space, e.g., Green Heart, flower fairground and linear river park, to activate the open green space.

Productive La Sabana - A Hybrid-Machine for Agriculture and Indus

7-1

Productive Components

Agriculture of La Sabana is not only an important economic activity but also a cultural component of Bogota’s history and more recently so is flower production. However, productivity is low compared to other agricultural and flower production cities/nations, farmers are making low income, and large tracks of land are underutilized.

We introduce high-yielding experimental agriculture fields and vertical greenhouses, supported by research institutions, and in proximity to new public Universities, and flower/agriculture fairground, and conference centers and a food distribution center. We are hoping this area can revitalize the food cultivation industry and culture in the future. By verticalizing agriculture production, less land can produce more flower and food, crops that require different sunlight condition can be arranged on different levels, agriculture production can also be rotated easily. We also introduce international agriculture fairground landscape, conference center, agriculture expo programs, and flower labor union center into this area. In the short term, this program will invite more foreign investment to the flower industry.

Multi-Mobility System and Strategic Urban Development

This new airport is meant to handle predominantly cargo, leaving the existing airport for passenger travel. We propose a new airport city as a generator for the economic growth and ecological innovation for Bogota. Also, the building limit of the flight path makes the north and the south side of the new airport an appropriate location for industry, high-tech services and manufacturing for Bogota.

We envisioned the investment in such strategic infrastructure as a unique opportunity that will allow: a) Propelling a new multiuse and socially diverse district reverting the dormitory-city and segregated patterns that have characterized the urbanization of the Municipalities of La Sabana, b) Providing efficient public transportation to the Airports and new districts. The city will be connected with the region, not only by the Metro system, the regional roads, the pedestrian and bike friendly links, but also by a light rail which take advantage of a right of way of a defunct rail way that for decades was the main linked Bogota to the lowlands and the international markets. BRT and bus systems, and bike lanes supplement the mobility framework, and provide easier internal connection. c) Providing community-based stewards such as schools, hospitals, libraries, sport facilities, etc., close to mobility systems, as also to prevent urban encroachment in the periphery of the districts onto agricultural land and protected areas.

However, in the long time, we can foresee that these programs will bring not only flower but also other Colombia’s agriculture products to the world, the economic benefit from the flower industry can support the local agriculture development in return. More jobs will be creating for the future growing population, and the labor will also face less inequity issue.

By relocating the light-structure greenhouses that nowadays dot La Sabana in close proximity to the New Airport, it will allow concentrating and making more efficient the production of flowers, removing them from sensitive habitat areas and freeing valuable agricultural land (the flowers are grown in elevated planters), addressing the current water pollution problems (derived from fertilizers), recycling water, and making the flower industry more visible through flower fair grounds, marketing and visitorcenters, in proximity to public transportation. Flower production become an important component of the urban system adjacent to the Green Heart.

Higher Landuse Efficiency Lower Water Usage Lower Energy Consumption While the flower export is attracting foreign investment and creating job opportunities for Bogota, is consuming a large amount of Bogota’s water resource and occupying valuable farmland while Bogota is importing food from other countries. The labors are working over-time for low wages.

Therefore, in our airport district, we propose with the introduction of high yielding experimental agriculture fields and vertical greenhouses, supported by research institutions, and in proximity to two new public Universities, and flower/agriculture fairground, and conference centers and a food distribution center. Therefore, in the design of the agriculture industry zone, we are hoping this area can revitalize the food cultivation industry and culture in the future.

Future Library Competition by CODE Honorable Mention | Genoa, Italy

Libraries are one of the most fascinating architectural examples of the history of mankind. As the library of Alexandria and the more recent masterpieces of contemporary architecture, the library has always been the center of collection of collective memory. It has always been the place where human experiences could be preserved, crystalized, made eternal. They could be passed on from ancient to new generations. In a way, the library has to do with eternity. It connects thoughts and experiences beyond space and time. It does so because it is a place, which human beings build in order to draw from the experience of their predecessors. It also does so because first of all the library is a great information collector.

Up to date, history has been passing on such information through the union of paper and ink: books. Books used to need a specific archiving and consultation space. However, in the era of dematerialization, of virtuality and of the 4.0 world, information has become an impalpable sequence of codes. They are intangible sequences that any device can consult and decode in any moment and any place. Consequently, on one hand the virtual space is expanding. On the other hand, the physical space is losing ground. Now, including all the places that used to be constant elements of humankind over the centuries have to change connotations and features. The library is not a place of preservation and consultation anymore. This is because now the access to information goes beyond books.

Therefore, what is the future for libraries? What is the library of the future?

On the basis of these questions, the University of Genoa is delighted to launch Future Library. This is the design competition that invites young people from all over the world to think about the future of places dedicated to learning and knowledge. Through architecture, they will design a completely new model of learning space.

Concept - A new relationship create by future library

When we look back into human history, from the establishment of the first library to contemporary library architecture design towards the infinite future, the essence of a library as space has always lain between two key elements - individual knowledge storage and collective information sharing.

Therefore, the project position itself on this infinity dialogue. Furthermore, by deploying digital interface within the iconical industrial framework, to set up a pitching point between individuality and collectivity, public and private, the solidity of knowledge storage and the fluidity of information flow.

Strategy - A reversed bound of space and activities

Towards the future library, the project aims to demonstrate the reversed relationship between the sub-programs and its spatial quality in the library. In the past, conference room and meeting room were all designated for the exclusive, private and formal meeting, while common study tends to be more open and public inclusive, welcome any kind of informal engagement to happen.

Under the over-exposure of information flow along with and hyper-access to «the digital cloud», this bound could be reversed. In the digital era, the definitions of space tend to be fluidity, the boundary between individuality and collectivity becomes blurry, the difference between private and public now is not defined by the transparency or the enclosures of the space, but the accessibility to digital tools.
