BIOMIMICRY THESIS IN PROGRESS SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE THROUGH BIOMIMICRY: Applying plant strategies to the design of a carbon-reducing façade addition to Philadelphia buildings
DESIGN OBJECTIVE As one of the nation’s great metropolises, Philadelphia’s 600,000 buildings produce 79% of the city’s total GHG emissions with their requirements for electricity, heating, and cooling. Because Philadelphia has an abundance of older buildings, retrofitting existing buildings with more sustainable components will prove to be the most productive approach in ameliorating the buildings’ GHG emissions. In the race to heal the environment, where best to learn how than from nature itself. The discipline of biomimicry looks at
biological strategies found in nature, adapting will also be looking to the scaly hairs of them to solve human design challenges. the Spanish moss to inform the form and adaptive movement of my façade component. Looking primarily at the process of photosynthesis in plants, I will be developing This component would be an addition on to a façade component that would not only existing building façades, and I will be using reduce the carbon content of the city two Philadelphia buildings as case studies for atmosphere, but also provide an alternative the design. Specifically, I will be looking closely energy source to fuel building activities. The at the Two Penn Center building and the Ritz design of this component is based on the Carlton Hotel, both located in an area of heavy development of an “artificil leaf” by a research traffic congestion. These two will provide a team from the University of Cambridge. I variety of façade systems and building types.

RT UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA FALL 2020 INSTRUCTOR: SCOTT AKER
As a Center for African American Art, this project seeks to bring attention to an under-represented group of artists and engage the surrounding community. This center is located at the University of Pennsylvania’s Class of 1959 Plaza, which rests at the intersection of Locust Walk and 37th St. To create the building form, a language of triangular faceting was developed through a geometric analysis of Buckminster Fuller’s Geodeisic Rigid Radome. The final structure features a double façade with the exterior façade being a copper screen to diffuse sunlight. Specific programming for the building include a permanent gallery, a rotating gallery, areas for outdoor exhibition, a cafe, an outdoor patio, and a rooftop lounge. At the core of the project is a deisre to open up the traditional walls of the museum.

GEODESIC DOME ANALYSIS Buckminster Fuller’s Geodesic dome projects an icosahedron onto a sphere, creating curved triangular panels that are then subdivided into smaller triangles. Analyzing one of the larger triangular panels, an angle relationship for the subdivision sections was formulated and an observation regarding triangle types was recorded. The angle analysis produced a design method which uses sectional profiles and the triangular observation provided a means of organizing the building plan. In deploying these design methods on the site, a plan of triangles was developed to differentiate the programming spaces with different triangle types. As a way of engaging with passerbys, triangular spaces on the east and west side of the building are dedicated to outdoor exhibitions. The form of the building was then controlled by a series of sectional profiles.

THE TWIST CONSTRUCTING A DOUBLY-CURVED SURFACE
16 |
JUDY ZHANG
UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA FALL 2019 INSTRUCTOR: ELIZABETH LOVETT
This surface exploration focuses on constructing the non-developable, doubly-curved surface of a twisting, helical roof canopy. By decomposing the surface into units that consist of curving metal panels, a glass web, a metal connector plane, and metal ribs, this surface was made ruled and can be pieced together with flat materials. The overall shape is controlled by four curves that mark the left endpoints, the midpoint, and the quarter points of each ribbon. Each web was split in half due to the limitations of glass with regards to bending and being cut into thin, acute triangles. To connect and stablize the panels and webs, metal ribs were offset on the adjacent panels to sandwich the glass web into place.

FISHTOWN ROWHOME CONSTRUCTING THROUGH REVIT
UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA FALL 2020 INSTRUCTOR: PATRICK MORGAN
Situated in an empty lot between two existing residences in a Philadelphia Fishtown neighborhood, this rowhome design consists of a basement, two stories above grade, and a built-in patio. Using Revit, the construction layers of the building foundation, party walls, exterior brick walls, and floor beam system were examined and detailed. A built-in patio was included at the back of the first level to encourage the residents to spend time outdoor. Due to the constraints of this building lot, the organization of the interior spaces was carefully examined so to maintain a sense of openness and accessibility. The interior spaces within include a living room, home office, dining room, master bedroom, master bathroom, two additional bedrooms and bathrooms, a lounge room, and a laundry room.

E COLLABORATORS: LEECHEN ZHU & YIHAN YIN UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA SPRING 2020 INSTRUCTOR: ERIC BELLIN
Sited at Clark Park in Philadelphia, this double-layered structure functions as both a pavilion and a playscape to enhance the park’s daily activities. In generating the forms of this structure, a geometric analysis was first conducted on the Guastivinovaulted dome of the Penn Museum’s Harrison Rotunda. Through the analysis, a vocabulary of transforming ellipses was extracted and utilized in the development of the final scheme. The inclusion of two layers in this strucutre pays homage to the doublelayered nature of the Rotunda. At the conclusion of the design phase, an investigation of construction joints was undertaken. Detail drawings were made to theorize the connections of different glue-laminated timber beams.

GEOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF THE HARRISON ROTUNDA Located in the Penn Museum at the University of Pennsylvania, the Harrison Rotunda features a double-layered roof structure that utilizes the Guastavino vaulting technique. To study this dome, the geometric relationships between the inner Guastavino vault, the exterior roof, and the supporting system of arcades were examined. This analysis produced insight regarding a regular spatial relationship and a system of rotating and elongating ellipses. Using these observations, experiments with form, structure, and organization resulted in the generation of geometric transformations.

BIOMORPHIC CANOPY EXTRACTING GEOMETRIES FROM THE BASKET-STAR
32
UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA FALL 2018 INSTRUCTOR: ERIC BELLIN
To study the complex nature of the basket-star’s coiling, branching arms, a set of manipulable variables was established to model the underlying geometries of each branch. With these variables, a kit of parts was developed to produce unique branches that could be combined in various ways to replicate the variability of the basket-star’s arms. Hypothetically nestled into the stepped topography of Vietnam’s Mu Cang Chai rice terrace farms, this canopy consists of 12 unique branch structures. By altering the size, degree of curvature, and spread of each branch, the canopy encourages the viewer to appreciate the rice terraces in different ways. The smaller branches at the top directs attention downward to the individual rice terraces while the taller branches at the bottom opens up the space and gives the viewer a full view of the setting.

BIOPOND GREENHOUSE EXPLORING THE APERIODIC FOLDED PLATE METHOD
36
UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA FALL 2019 INSTRUCTOR: ELIZABETH LOVETT
Beginning with a site analysis of the Biopond located at the University of Pennsylvania, this greenhouse creates an experience that is dictated by elevational differences and surrounding vegetation. Housing the Selenicereus grandiflorus, a night-blooming cactus, this greenhouse features curved walls are angled toward the southern sun to maximize the sunlight within the space. Using Grasshopper to generate the overall form, the transition between three different sectional shapes create a dynamic ridge that emerges and disappears along the structure. The aperiodic folded plate method and the secant plane method are used to panelize the curved glass surfaces while the heat-retaining masonry wall follows the profile of the surrounding vegetation.

The 100 foot path chosen for the greenhouse climbs a secluded hill to the east of the pond. The path begins with a set of steep steps that brings you up the hill. After climbing the steps, you reach the first bend, which conceals the rest of the path. Turning the bend, you reach the sunniest part of the path that overlooks the pond. The path ends around the second bend, leaving you near the Biopond entrance. When looking up from the pond, only the lightest part of the path is visible, as the rest is hidden behind thick vegetation. During the analysis of the site, the surrounding trees and plants were recorded and researched. Because this path is notable for its changes in elevation and its illusory experience through the bends, the greenhouse form was designed to emphasize these qualities.

ENTRANCE SECTION
SECTIONAL SHAPES AND MATERIAL DIVISONS The greenhouse shape is controlled by three sectional shapes: one for the entrance, one for the cactus (SG) point, and one for the exit. In the SG section, the single curved section transforms into a double-curved section to differentiate between the area where the cactus will climb (the left, higher area) and the area of human circulation (the right, shorter area). As a result of this transformation, a ridge runs across the top of the greenhouse. While the right, curved parts of greenhouse will be constructed out of glass and metal ribbing, the left straight parts will alternate between glass and solid, masonry wall. The curvature of the masonry wall follows the vegetation profile, allowing the shrubbery to conceal the solid areas of the greenhouse.

Using Revit, an office building for a Philadelphia lot was designed and detailed. The building consists of 10 above-grade levels, 3 below-grade levels, and an occupiable roof. The walls alternate between a copperpaneled cavity wall and a curtainwall, both of which have operable windows. Other features include cantilevered components, roof garden terraces, sunbreakers, and a double-skin facade. Special attention was given to detailing the connection between different wall types (i.e. between cavity walls and curtainwalls). This project is currently a work in progress and will include interior fixtures and furnishings upon completion.
