HETEROGENEOUS TRANSIT - IN THE FORMAL/ INFORMAL: MIGRATING CLIMATE IN THE IMMIGRANT CITY ADV Design Studio V, Fall 2020 Instructor: Phu Hoang Phase 1 Team with: Devansh Mehta Phase 2 Team with: Yuan Liu, Liwei Guo

The studio engages with immigrant communities to learn their everyday appropriations and adaptations to formal systems. Looking at informal system into formal system, and thinking different approaches as climate crsis happen especially during Covid period. Design architecture or infrastructure to support and solve the problem that immigrant communities would face during global health crsis, and other social problems.

Our project is heterogeneous transit. It starts with the reconstruction of the self and the other, followed by the intrusion of heterogeneous culture in social life. The heterogeneous transit starts with the reconstruction of the immigrant's daily life followed by the intrusion of food culture and knowledge acquisition in social life.

PHASE I - RESEARCH Informal Urbanism- Informality is Hacking Immigrants often hack objects to suit their needs in public spaces. Their mobility optimizes the use of space and the flow of people. Street food is a transformation from fast-food restaurants. Lower income vendors use movable furniture to reduce their costs; keeping the function of cooking limited to food carts. These anti-typologies are derived from the manipulation and hybridization of formal typologies and are designed for the underlying principle of efficiency addressing the needs of the occupants. To increase the market, they manufacture partial meals and frozen foods, which are exported from Asia to markets in New York. Our research examined the street food markets and furniture in Taipei and Queens. The proposal also envisions sea-level rises in the future that would lead to adaptation of floating versions of markets and food carts located below former highways repurposed as open public spaces.

Typology to Anti-typology Diagrams showing different types of vendors transform from the restaurants. People can either grab and go or just sit next to the vendor to eat. Vendors save the space and money for people, and there is more vendors as the travellers increase.

PHASE I - RESEARCH

Informal in Planetary Scale We are picturing sea-level rises in the future that would lead to the adaptation of floating versions of archetypes with the adaptation of previous expressways as open public spaces. The highway becomes a major walkway and park for people, the green area will also plant on the top of the roof. The street food would become boat version instead of many small carts.

HETEROGENEOUS TRANSIT

03

PHASE II - SELF ANALYSIS We were looking at three perspectives of informal urbanism- Hacking,Non-Binary and Trespassing. We have extracted three behavioral fragments from Phase I, focusing on the characteristics of Street vendor, Food Cart and Signage, which have evolved into our final solution.

PHASE II - RESEARCH Our program tends to help chinese immigrants to face the potential climate crisis in 2100. Many of them sell food by vendors and markets.When sea level rise due to carbon emission, they are hard to keep their business. When looking at the small business, we focus on the unique food supply chain system in Chinatown that is different from others in NewYork city. Home gardens in Miami are small but with diversity vegetables grow vertically and transport to wholesalers in Chinatown in Manhattan by airline. The wholesalers sell to each produce market in Chinatown neighborhood. We are trying to help them and their children to maintain their livelihood by creating a mixed-use produce market and community center; and to reduce the carbon footprint by cutting the long distance airline from Miami and create a railway system by transporting vegetables to our program.

PHASE II - IMMIGRANTS MOVEMENT Small businesses will be affected due to the sea level rise, and they will gather together to form a collective and jointly resist the risk. They will start moving and gathering together into the area for their business. With the movement of restaurants, wholesalers for these restaurants will move to another site closed to them.

HETEROGENEOUS TRANSIT

PHASE II - GREEN HOUSE SYSTEM BASED ON RAILWAY NETWORK As the sea level rises in 2100, some urban road transportation will be cut down. But the current railway system in New york city will be affected less. Facing the potential climate crisis, we are working on designing a community center transit to reconnect the food supply chain, supporting Chinese immigrants with their business and life. We hope to replace the long-distance food source from Miami with new transportation, which will reconnect urban and regional community gardens and greenhouses through railways to form a food supply network. Greenhouses will be created on the top of industrial buildings, factories and shopping malls like auto repair and Macy’s that are next to the railway. And our building will distribute cheap cooked food to the other immigrant communities through the railway network.

PHASE II - SITE PLAN To support more chinese immigrants in Queens, our Site is located in downtown Flushing which is the most concentrated area of local business with various Chinese snack shops, retail wholesaler, and food carts on the sidewalk.In order to connect our program with the railway network, we will take an old restaurant next to the railway on the 40th street.

HETEROGENEOUS TRANSIT

07

PHASE II - CONVEYOR SYSTEMS We start our program with designing a heterogeneous conveyor system which is the anti-type in our program. Compared with general staircase and circulation, our informal convey system could be regarded as a combination of function and transportation.

We have two types of conveyor.

The purple one is the food conveyor and blue one is the book conveyor.

Food conveyor system connects with railway and urban road transportation for food resources loading.

The goods from outside of the building will be transported to storage through the food conveyor. For food consumption, the conveyor connects different rooms like cinema, library, language school in the building with food carts and food transportation bents. It is easy to get some snacks and beverages wherever you are.

Book conveyor system connects the library, language school, and restaurant on different levels through conveyor and book cart. The horizontal book transportation bent in conveyor will also combine with bookshelves where users can choose what they want to read.

Two types of conveyor systems will interact with each other through the food carts, the cart will serve for book delivery which will provide books and foods on the building. And some carts could park in our building during the night.

HETEROGENEOUS TRANSIT

PHASE II - PROGRAM Different types of functions are expressed in different colors, and their functions are permeable to each other.

This means that you can not only read books in the fixed library on one floor, you can pick up a book on any floor and read it, and buy fried rice in the Food cart nearby, you can put the book in the conveyor, it will go back to the library by itself. The shuffled column grid will provide signages on the facade several anchor points in different directions.

In the daytime, the chair and table will be stored away. The food carts will show on the building facade to attract consumers on the street, this activities can be served as a dynamic signage.

At night, the signage will be lit up. The faint light will come through the transparent material, and the study Room in the box will provide a small and independent space for language learners.

CURE - MIGRATIONS: BODIES IN MOVEMENT

ADV Design Studio VI, Spring 2021 Instructor: Mario Gooden, Torkwase Dyson Individual Work

"Informed by the history of radical thinking about architecture in the 20th century yet look beyond to the manner of space making that Indigenous Peoples and Black bodies throughout the diaspora have creatively appropriated various aspects of the landscape and built environment to invent new uses, programs, and forms of visibility.

Out of necessity and due to the fugitive conditions of life, these modalities have always been and remain agile, transformable, and fluid—suggestive of the ways in which such people have moved through space, negotiated the barriers of social, political, and economic landscapes, and reformulated spatial conditions through these very migrations and displacements, improvising new ways of being.

Proposed a design intervention at the site of the historic Hinchliffe Stadium in Paterson, New Jersey on the escarpment above Paterson's National Historic Great Falls to consider a project for environmental liberation."

PROPOSAL The site used to be the home of Lenape tribe and has been through protest, strike, contamination by manufacturing mills and still in danger now, bodies that include people who worked here, ground, water and air were injured. Though the labor condition is getting better than before, working still become one of the problems that caused stress today.

The proposal aims to provide a space for people who got huge stress or damage to repair and rest physically and mentally through individual and private meditation room, and counseling room to release their stress.

To understand the history of the site (manufacturing develop, strike) and Lenape history, culture through different exhibition areas. To experience Lenape cultural practices through several handcraft, music and history workshops and classes, also to purify water by plants and have fish inside both for views and fishing.

Intersection of Three Migrations Man made catastrophe and natural catastrophe increase the great migration and Native American migration. Even in different time period, under race violence and power oppress, African-American start their migration. The contiuning flood, bollwarm catastrophe as a hidden reason that caused the Great migration, the poor living condition forced them to the northern states to find a better job, have higher salary, and higher social level.

BODY IN MOVEMENT II - SPACE + ATMOSPHERE

Spatial Construction Nature as space in migration. Different materials to build a complex spatial condition and geese migration situation. Space is also affected both by human and nature.

Nature is how it was, and then with human interruption change the environment.

The construction has upper and lower parts as a paradoxical situation that geese have freedom with death threaten, or have a safer lifetime. From bottom to up is a transition from heaviness to lightness, and opaque to translucent, also past to future

BODY IN MOVEMENT II - SPACE + ATMOSPHERE

Light + Light Lighting takes an important role for both human and nature. I used light material for the upper part. Using metal mesh to create curves and hang on the shelf vertically. Light as one material that different angles would have different light pattern. The light pattern highlight the metal mesh but also reduce the presence of other part of metal mesh.

The plastic sticks as cantilevers hang on the metal mesh and connect by translucent fishing lines and opaque twines as braces. Even geese fly above human without danger, they are still tied and controlled by human.

BODY IN MOVEMENT II - SPACE + ATMOSPHERE

Tension Using the same metal mesh to create a wavy surface horizontally as the connection between up and down. The movable metal pins hang on the metal mesh as a transition point for lightness and heaviness from the top.

Wood sticks as columns to support the horizontal wavy metal mesh, and against the movable pins. The overlay of columns and pins is a tension between top and bottom, and tension between freedom and death.

In order to have a contrast and dilemma situation, to use plaster to create a solid, wavy, and heavy based on the bottom. Different heights of columns stick in the plaster as the geese graves. Pouring glue on the plaster, use lightness enclose the heaviness. The light reflection and wet paths on the glue to create different pattern.

The columns shadows on the wavy plaster to create chaotic spatial condition, as the chaotic geese living environment.

BODY IN MOVEMENT III - WATER

Water Migration in Beijing Water as body and migrate from river to house. Water comes from upper stream of river, and then transport to the filter factory, and from factory transport to home.

Water as an organic and free form in river, through the long and regular pipes to the factory in sharp and straight lines. When the water arrived home, water supply as warm air and daily use water as it back to organic and free situation but in control. Water is constantly flowing itself in a wide range river, certain shape of pipes and transform into different forms in the house. Water is a natural resourcem due to human power which is controlling and using water to migrate water from nature to human living.

In order to highlight the major story line that how water comes to home, lighter the brancher story line- the left part in light lines are other transportations from factory to other houses in a urban scale; the light lines on the right side can be seem as floor plan and section at the same time. As my home is on the 27th floor, the water goes to my home first and then flow to the lower levels, and water keep the same situation.

BODY IN MOVEMENT IV - GEESE Migration Story Christian Moullec, a France meteorologist helped greater white-fronted geese to migrate. There were 200 million birds almost one third, passed away in past 30 years in Europe. Nature space became smaller because people's enlarge the area that some animals cannot survive.

Like airport, electronic wires, hunters and urban lighting damage would affect them to recognize the direction. Moullec used aircraft to lead them to fly a new safer migration route.

These types of geese are winter migrant birds. They leave the breeding area in the end of August to the beginning of September each year, and arrived the wintering area in the ending of September to the begnning of October. And back to the breeding area during March.

Because of climate and nature problem, geese started their migration; man-made issue affect or increase their migration threaten. Also human as another factor taht change geese' original migration method. Human as both a reason and factor that create this migration story.

Geese stroy = human + nature Spatial consition = ground + water + sky

Geese Migration (translate from the story) Charcoal, pastel

Geese Migration Drawing The drawing is geese migration process. Look geese as dots, geese always living in a cluster. The geese migration already started since they were born as the drawing started with their birth. Moullec taught them walk on the land and swim in the water. In the fall, Moullec led geese to fly a new and safer route by ultralight aircraft in V shape. Geese would remember the new route that they could back and forth once they fly.

The darker route is new route that Moullec led and the red dot is where Moullec at when they were in the sky. The background light dot with falling part if old route that geese died. The coloful dots, powder and grid are the danger that affect geese migrate.

A line tied with geese since beginning. Sue to natural birth and surviving reason that geese need to migrate. Moullex led geese migrate to avoid other human power that hunting, technology development, and city development. Geese sacrifice their freedom to exchange the safe but in his wishful thinking. Geese and human body as the bodies in movement and they migrate together in this case.

BODY IN MOVEMENT V - BODIES IN THE SITE Site Paterson city is the first planned manufacturing development. Many industrial and manufacturing factories still remain in the city. Passaic river was one of the main resources to support these factories through raceways. Factories affect air at the same time, with wind direction analysis, the air in the site would be the worst during the fall. As the wind direction is from north-east to west-south, and there are multiple industries on the north-east side of the site. The sea-level elevation is approximately similar or even slightly higher than the site, that would affect the air on the site as well.

INTERVENTION - SPATIAL STRATEGY Movement Making - Body Responding to the concept of “Space for Life, Place of Work”, produce movement that acknowledges the physical and psychological context of where we live and work. Allow every aspect of home as a potential site of content.

Space for life, place of work is full of emotion. Even it is daily life, it is happy, sad, anxiety and repeating everyday. The movement exercises allow me to think through different movement that people could create, sit, like cat, reading, laying, standing, etc. Those movements inspire a new idea of spatial strategy.

Housefail Manifesto To unleash new forces and techniques of architectural production To rid architecture of tropes and cliches To recreate the world without by looking within 1. Fail Better Don’t view mistakes as things to correct but opportunities for discovery, new ways of thinking.

LOOP - HOUSEFAIL

ADV Design Studio, Summer 2021 Instructor: Dan Wood, Nuar Alsadir, Maurizio Mattioli Individual Work

Based on 12 rules of manifesto we created in the class to design our own house.

"Will utilize techniques of looking inward to unlock creative potential in the design of a private house. It will be an experimental house, on a site of your choosing, that will attempt to move beyond the “dream house” to one that embodies a broader range of subconscious actions, desires, emotions, gestures, elements...Students should be prepared to embark on a journey that may fail. Indeed, we will be embracing failure as a distinct possibility. We will be exploring the essence of the creative act, with its origins in the often hidden 'inner child' who is not afraid to do or say things that might be considered ugly or unconventional or even foolish. As Chekhov wrote, 'Don’t be afraid to show yourself foolish; we must have freedom of thinking, and only he is an emancipated thinker who is not afraid to write [design] foolish things.'"

It is a way to explore myself Backing to the beginning to restart and reflect on self again Looking at my contradictory inside and enlarge them Blending personal, social, and in-between then affect each other Each room has its own emotion Enjoy the contradictory Enjoy the uncomfortable Enjoy the reflection

2. We are our choices.

Make conscious choices rather than acting on autopilot, following protocol.

3. Target the body!

Unconscious communication happens outside of language. Focus on how things feel or are experienced physically rather than what they look like from the outside—how they match up to agreed-upon aesthetics.

4. Keep it bumpy Retain the hooks and snags. Don’t smooth things out, clean up too much.

5. Don’t get comfortable.

6. Cognize rather than recognize See things anew, defamiliarize.

7. No unified narrative: no recognizable formal structure.

No preordained sequence. No symbolism. No trappings of a recognizable kind of house containing a prototypic narrative about the people who live there. No organization based on predicating logic, structure, services as architectural tropes.

8. Don’t label rooms with recognizable labels, or, do label rooms with terms from an internal language No “Bedroom” or “Great Room.” Yes “Holding Environment”, “Mixing Chamber”.

9. Make us feel what you feel Don’t design for a generic client. Design for yourself and make the client feel what you feel, expand their horizons of being.

10. Don’t infect the design with answers (Blanchot: “The answer is the disease of the question.”)

11. No soundtrack Don’t try to control how other people feel.

12. Make a cross section of a whisper If a project is too narrative, turn up internal projector. If it is too abstract, turn up the internal projector.

STUDY I - VOICE + DRAWING + SCULPTURE

Internal The sketch is based on my internal voice and emotion. The voice uses the sound made me calm and nervous at the same time and reading a poem by myself and repeat in three layers. To express multiple thinking inside of me. The drawing on the right side is the feeling that after listening my own sound piece again, which made me feel anxious and calm, anger and released, and then become a loop.

The drawing is a GIF that is a self-healing idea by listening the sound, and two upside down faces is two voics in my mind, one is positive and the other one is negative. Two color tones that is relate to two faces and blending into middle become universe.

The sculpture is based on the drawing and sound piece to create. I am trying to create a contradictory feeling. Using one piece of metal mesh and make a loop.

Using pins to insert into the metal mesh to create a lightness and heaviness, translucent feeling. And a fear and released feeling.

Elective, Spring 2021 Instructor: Joshua Jordan Individual Work

"Investigating tiling and modular fabrications. To explore the organizational, experiental, and aesthetic performance of units and repetition in architectural composition. Considering the history and application of tiling effects and techniques in the making of architecture, as well as study the geometric principles that lead to existing and potentially new systems of connections of parts.

To develop the skill sets involved fabricating the units: through mold-making, casting substances, and other materials and methods. Looking at moldmaking craft as an analog to construction logics writ large, efficiencies and economies of modular fabrication, and the development of fabrication systems in new and innovative ways."

DESIGN 2D - Pattern Using the basic grid as start and create different pattern on it. By rotating and then transform into a new tiling system. This pattern is my initial idea of tiling and provide my future physical tile.

3D Model The transformation from 2D to 3D, I focus on the texture and void on the tile. I want the tile has different texture, smooth and rough. The void also provide the light go through the tile. The render collage is the imagination of the space that assembly by multiple tiles.

VIRTUAL ARCHITECTURE - WORLD BUILDING & SIMULATION WORKSHOP

Elective, Spring 2021 Instructor: Nitzan Bartov Individual Work

"Borrows tools and workflows from the gaming and virtual reality industries, to explore architectural production through the lens of speculative physics, causality and interaction.

Our built environment represents the limits of our physics and material properties. What types of architecture will emerge out of an exploration of alternative physical constraints? If cause and effect could be re-imagined, what would be the new modes of interaction with one’s environment?

Using the unique affordances enabled by Game Engines, this course wishes to explore speculative architectures, adapted to alternative physics, materials and casualties. Starting from the articulation and design of a behaviour, interaction or rule, to expand the scale and detail of their environment throughout the semester."
