To Disperse is the Only Way to Reconnect These are overall concept of how the interven on can happen. Though start with simple superimpose generic program but later these can start to inject it self and start intervene with the buildings itself

Void Between Two Ci es

The argument for the site of contesta on in both Istanbul and Cairo is iden fied through a macro net work of series of once significant architecture but through me le abandoned and ul mately became a hidden void in the urban fabric.

This abandoned architecture network in Istanbul are the Greek Orthodox School and in Cairo are affluence residentail buidlings both of the cases are very much locate in downtown. To disperse is the only way to reconnect and/or reac vate. This is an interven on of the voids. By dispersing programs along the macro network allow different ac vity to happen in micro scale and ul mately give access to these builidings. In Istanbul this micro site is Galata Greek School (100% vacant), where the past three years serve as an exhib on space for Istanbul Design Bianniale but this program only allow the buildign to be ac vate once through foreign tourist as the main user. To counter the exsi ng program condi on a Hammam is 7

proposed as an interven on. This Turkish bathhouse in the middle of abandoned Greek School embracing mul tude of contesta on between three main users. Art, Bath, and Public Path.

In Cairo, 37 Talaat Harp is more well known as the Yacoubian Building. If the city of Cairo can be packed in to one building it would well be this one. Although remain 30% vacant but the current occupant are far from similar. A hotel, offices, residen als, bar and not to men on the commericial stores on the ground floor this is a hyper mixed use building. The interven ion in this micro site starts of with research on the history of downtown Cairo from the most celibrated era to main atery for protest movement.

Now filled with vacant spaces many younf ar st and ac vist find loca on to exhibit there work but non the less not totally a unify network . Art Produc on Studio is the proposed program allowing the building to be fully ac vate and test-

Columbia University, Manhattanville Campus

NewUniversity What the...Tower

The main concept of this New University is a square for research and community. This new Columbia University square will enable large public gathering both for university (Gradua on, Science Fes val, or any Large Convenon) and public (Poli cal Rally, Farmer’s Market, etc.). Open the new university campus will allow the university to reconnect with the neighborhood and create a rela onship between ins tu on and public in a more physical way. The original Columbia University at Morningside heights has approximately 50% open space. The new campus at Manha anville will mandate that 70% open space to become a square that the university will share with the public. Together with this large square; the university’s ambi on is to increase the square footage per students/researchers to 6.8 million square feet is that Manha anville 35

campus is too accomplished. The new university tower is a new model of density matched with this maximum open space concept. Lower podium is providing public programs that allow the school to hold enclosed conven on as the square hold external conven on and gathering. This large open space allow the researchers to exchange and present their discovery directly to the public, it will the emphasis public connec vity rather than excluding them. This towers are to be an anchor and the new example for the future development if the Manhattanville and West Harlem. It is foreseeing new density of future educa on district that will take over the area and this new campus will be the first of many educaon highrises coming in the near future.

Hyper Deep Interior

The premise of the studio was to use mul tudes of architecture tools to explore a “new” spa al type which later get super impose and thrown into a specific site. This is never a design excercise though could be seen as one but the ambi on through en re project is to explore the ques on What is Hyper Deep Interior?

The first “spa al sample that later became the beginning of “Hype Deep Interior” was the surveliance space in downtown bangkok during 2010 protest, where the police use the exis ng sky train amatruer as a strategic loca on that eventually able to break up the pro59

test at this loca on. This ordinary shoping area transform through stages from generic then interup on then breakage.

Once there is a specific physical site this ques on get to test and adapt to a new scenarios or another way to explain, A new Story line. In this case a architecture fic on that have taken place in a reality .
