Sky Shelter is located in Fort Tilden which is surrounded by four abandoned military batteries that was once used by the US Army. Battery Kessler is one of the batteries chosen to be repurposed into a thermal bathhouse that is lifted into the air to provide a shaded space below for the public to access. The thermal bath is cantilevered and hopes to protect and rejuvenate people from the chaotic life habits of NYC and the environmental risks of flooding. There is a mixture of indoor and outdoor thermal baths with views towards the Atlantic Ocean and towards NYC. A mixture of materials such as copper, limestone and wood is used to create a warm presence in the winter, while the golden orange tints of the materials match the colours projected by the sand and sun in the summer.

Since this was also an Integrated Building Design Studio, it also focused on the mechanical and structural elements of the thermal bath project. Mechanically, a mixture of FCU, radiant floor heating and thermal water wall have been implemented to regulate the humidity and temperatures of the spaces to meet the comfort levels of the occupants. Structurally, the foundation consists of 100 ft pylons that are capped off with a 10 ft concrete slab to reach the solid bedrock. This foundation is needed to allow the V columns to support the girder and steel frame.

PROJECT 2 H Y P E R L O O P SPRING 2020: VC STUDIO PROFESSOR: LORI BROWN TYPE: FUTURE TRANSPORTATION STATION SITE: ALBANY, NEW YORK

S T A T I O N

As New York City is getting populated, the city is becomes chaotic and busy. This project aims to utilize the latest transportation technology (the Hyperloop) to distribute families and households across New York State to free up the traffic from cars and humans. Hyperloop can travel at speeds of 760miles/hr, thus it would take 30 minutes to travel to work to NYC if a worker lives in Buffalo. This project celebrates speed through its angular disorientation of turns and its gradual increase of spaces to create a sense of acceleration. The station provides a one dimensional circulation that offers a simple boarding process with cafe and shops.

An art exhibition gallery should not just be limited to displaying artworks inside but also outside. The Public Canvas project aims to create and develop artists in a neighbour of Philadelphia by providing a canvas on the facades for artists to express and develop themselves in the community. By doing so, the building is seen as a monolithic mass with no windows. In order to create natural lighting internally, the monolithic project has been strategically carved diagonally to create four separate masses. The diagonal cross-sections also provide an inclusive and accessible entrance for the community neighbourhood from all streets.

Internally, the gallery provides the community and artists with their own studio spaces and research facilities to develop their artistic styles. The ground floor also provides gallery spaces for artists to showcase their works internally.

FALL 2019: ARC 307 PROFESSOR: ABINGO WU TYPE: CARPARK TURNED INTO A MODULAR CITY CAMPING FACILITY SITE: NEW YORK CITY

42

RESEARCH PHASE This studio was divided into a research and design phase. In the research phase, students had to analyse Air BnB housing themes that could be implemented into a larger scale.

The main theme of this project was adaptability and reusability. I was interested in how Air BnB hosts turned their unused vehicles into habitable spaces to create a novel experience for the guests. Hosts would often fit as many programs as possible through extension, which is achieved by poaches, overhangs or the addition of rooms (below). In niche conditions, the hosts would provide a bed and the guests would have to rely on programs and facilities that are scattered in a city.

To aid our research, the class was asked to stay in an Air BnB that we have been researching.

The van Air BnB felt like camping but in a city context, as it relied on external facilities to function. This leads to the possibility of designing a carpark to facilitate these vehicle shelters.

As New York City increasing parking prices and reducing the number of parking available cars may be redundant in the city.

DESIGN PHASE During the design phase, this project pushed for a utopian society where cars will eventually be non existant. The design of the carpark is aimed to be adaptive with a modular housing system. The goal is to provide a gradual transition into a car free society without having to rebuild new infrastructure.

For example, in the present, daily commuters and Air BnB hosts can park their cars in the parking facility. However, these cars will be replaced by residents as modular units will be installed into the parking lots over a period of ten years. This also gives opportunities of events such as concerts and fashion shows to utilise the ramps in car parks for the public and residents to utilise.
