Diagram of Soviet mass housing blocks Construction The most predominant mass housing blocks “Khrushchyovka� were developed using a range of materials; from conventional bricks and concrete blockwork to advanced skeletal and modular systems. It can be classified by 3 distinct elements; construction method, the number of openings(point, corridor or arcade), and the number of floors, no more than five due to Soviet regulation regarding elevators. 3

Nutsubidze Housing Project - Sky Bridge connected housing blocks to up hill area

Unlike typical Soviet housing blocks, this project included an elevator with sky bridges to connect ground level circulation to hill level which make it different from other Soviet housing Project.

The Stairs to Kriterion / Rotterdam / MVRDV / 2016 Temporary Infrastrcture - A giant scaffolding staircase reclaim the roof top of city centre

16


The Stairs, a huge scaffolding staircase leading up to the roof of The Groothandelsgebouw in Rotterdam city centre, the temporary installation allows visitors to climb 180 steps up to the roof of the Groot Handelsgebouw – one of the first buildings constructed in the city after the end of the second world war. Measuring 29 metres high and 57 metres long, The Stairs leads up to a rooftop observation deck. The arrival of The Stairs, a month long temporary installation celebrating 75 years of reconstruction in Rotterdam, follows the city’s tradition of celebrating reconstruction milestones. “Now we create a new lookout where people can enjoy the unique views of this newly built city. From the cranes in the harbour, to the new city centre, the North and Blijdorp Zoo. Fun for everyone,” says Anouk Estourgie of ‘Rotterdam celebrates the city!’.

Scaffolding joint in The Stairs, Unknow, 2016

To compare with, the joint of the scaffolding system used in the project share the same methodology as the scaffolding joint I found used in UK. They are both be able to intergrate with horizontal, vertical and diagonal axis elements. The jointing system used in the projects were design as more easy to assemble and accurate in dimension.

All the metal post used in the stairs were welded with a connector that make the quick connection to the circular metal connector possible. The design of the Circular metal connector allow the flexible structure since it can be put in any part of the rod.

Chapter 3 / Unseen Trajectory Detail

City of Captive Globe, Drawing, Madelon Vriesendorp + Rem Koolhaas , 1972

Lenin Tribune, El Lissitzky, 1920

City of Captive Globe/ Drawing / Madelon Vriesendorp + Rem Koolhaas / 1972 Enormous incubator of the world Archeological Reminiscence of Millet’s Angelus, Salvador Dalí, 1934

The City of the Captive Globe Project, which Koolhaas produced with Zoe Zenghelis, focuses on New York’s urban fabric: the relentlessly uniform grid that paradoxically supports a multiplicity of functions and desires. The rendering of each block as a fantastic city-within-a-city creates a virtual catalogue of OMA’s self-proclaimed influences: - El Lissitzky’s Lenin Stand - Salvador Dali’s Surreal Archeological Reminiscence of Millet’s Angelus (1933–35) - Le Corbusier’s Plan Voisin towers all frame the captured globe, a metaphor for Manhattan’s status as an “enormous incubator of the world.” Each block, which is itself a city, is surmounted by a structure that represents its function or identity, for example, El Lissitzky’s Lenin’s Standor Le Corbusier’s Plan Voisin. All the city were sitting on the giant standardized granite plinth, apart from the function of foundation, the plinth acting as a protection of the city, a identical base for each philosophy has the right to expand infidelity toward heaven. The plinth as a infrastructure between the highrise city and the ground, it provide an ideology of make the city(idea) on top stand out and deny the idea from other city go in. This plinth created a harmonious environment betweeen city and act as a enormous incubator or the world with different ideas. 25

Master layout plan of the project

Reference from the diagram about the building name in the drawing, here start the study of the structure with Mies Van Der Rohe’s Lake Shore Drive Apparments, this project was based on column and beam structure with a centralized core.

The raised up building itself is like sitting on a giant plinth

Master layout plan show the High rise city foot print limited/framed by the plinth

The structure of the whole building continue from top to the ground, apart from the entrance lift lobby, Lake Shore Drive Apparments open up the podium. This created a transparent plinth that make the building stand out from the neighbourhood.

Structural Diagram 1 of Mordern Highrise, Bill, 2018 This diagram shows 3 major types of structure commonly used in mordern highrise design. As mentioned in the “City of Captive Globe”, all the highrise on the plinth were exandable structure and unlimited to their high. Therefore, Central Core/ Outrigger will be the most possible structure used in the drawing. 32


Raft foundation suitable for: -Floor areas are small and structural loadings are low, such as in one or two-storey domestic construction. Soil

-A basement is required. -Ground conditions are poor and strip or pad foundations would require significant excavation, for example on soft clay, alluvial deposits, compressible fill, and so on.

Bed Rock

Raft Foundation

Pile foundation suitable for:

RAFT FOUNDATION

-there is a layer of weak soil at the surface - building has very heavy, concentrated loads, such as in a high rise structure, bridge

Soil

- In end bearing piles, the bottom end of the pile rests on a layer of especially strong soil or rock. The load of the building is transferred through the pile onto the strong layer. In a sense, this pile acts like a column

Bed Rock

Pile Foundation

Piled Raft Foundation suitable for:

PILE FOUNDATION

- large structures, and in situations where soil is not suitable to prevent excessive settlement. - transfer loads through weak, compressible strata or water onto stronger, more compact, less compressible and stiffer soil or rock at depth.

Soil

- increases the effective size of a foundation and can help resist horizontal loads. Bed Rock

Church on the Rock, Bill, 2018 The Architectural form for each city in the “City of Captive Globe” drawing reminds me the example of “Church on the Rock. The Church itself don’t need a strong foundation since it’s built on a giant rock that sitting steady on the ground. 34


Sketches, Bill, 2018 In the same sense of “Church on the Rock”, all “City” in the “City of Captive Globe” drawing were seated on a giant granite plinth that provide a strong foundation to build on.
