REPUBLIC: mobile home americana
Architecture Options Studio, S23
Professor: Jared Abraham
The Mobile Home Americana Options Studio explored the history and stigma around the American mobile home and aimed at reinventing it.
Precendents were studied and were used in a hybrid mashup and each student chose a different site to reimagine their own version of a mobile home for characters generated with the aid of AI.
Republic is a fictional story based on real life events in what is now the Florida Keys. It imagines the Keys 100 years into the future where sea levels have captured most of the habitable land and those who can afford to flee have already done so. But those who could not, including migrants, as the Keys has been a critical point of migration from the Carribeans for a long time, has to stay and adapt to a new way of living: one completely on water, on the Republic houseboats. They have also had to declare independence and become a self-sustaining community. This is the story of how these complex and diverse people thrive.

REPUBLIC: MOBILE HOME AMERICANA | 7
The studio began with a study of two individually chosen precedents: the Houseboat by Crossboundaries, a mobile home typology, and the Zip-Up House by Richard Rogers, an unconventional home typology. The two precedents were then used in a hybrid mashup.
In contrast to other students, a playful, narrative and speculative route was taken, using the mashup as the focus and incorporating my favourite childhood show characters to create a dystopic, retrofuturistic story set many years into the future where the population has dwindled to a fight for survival, human mutations were raging, the ozone has almost collapsed and technology has advanced to near magic.
In this story, the mashup is a transcontinental mobile home that can traverse harsh landscapes and to some extent, deep bodies of water. With cities crumbling worldwide, all are desperate to obtain one as a means of survival. Many resort to salvaging parts from ones that have crashed to upgrade their own means.
This hybrid mashup has propelled my project forward by a large extent formally, artistically as well as narratively. Differing from other students, I decided to set my project 100 years into the future, with the site and characters having detailed and complex backstories of how they got to this point based on the historical context of the site.

3D Rendering + Digital Painting
The site chosen was the Florida Keys, a tropical archipelago that is prone to hurricanes, with tourism as its economic driver. The Keys also has a large migrant culture as it is the closest point of the USA to the Carribeans. The arrival of undocumented boat migrants are common. “The Conch Republic” is the micronation of the Florida Keys declared in response to a 1982 blocade by the US Border Patrol searching for undocumented migrants.
Set 100 years into the future, where rising sea levels have claimed most habitable land, only those who do not have the means to flee remain and must adapt to a new way of living: one on houseboats that act as shophouses, completely on water. Fortified lands such as the Dry Tortuga National Park, the specific site of focus, were used as urban nodes from which communities can sprawl using adaptable ports. There are subnodes closer to the land, those connected further out and others scattered further out at sea. People would work in their house or travel to the fortified land or another houseboat for work on smaller water vehicles.
The project imagines hurricane resilience through evasion: a mass migration of all boats to safety before returning after the storm.
Characters were generated with the aid of AI to help ground and focus the design process. The characters and stories generated were based on the story of the site as a popular destination for mainly Carribean migrants. The jobs and type of people these characters are pertain to the futuristic and self-sufficient community imagined that has had to build itself from scratch. Examples include a romantic triad of women, all with differing, complex backgrounds who now live together and work as hydroponic agriculture specialists. They help to maintain the food source of the community and educate about the topic.

REPUBLIC: MOBILE HOME AMERICANA | 9
The proposal is the Republic, a customisable houseboat typology that acts as a self-sufficient shophouse on water. The lower level can act as a storefront that belongs to the family and the residence lies upstairs. The boat shown is one of a family restaurant that belongs to Mana’s family from the character study. The boat is equipped with solar panels on the top, a backup generator, a sattelite dish, sirens and desalination pods for potable water. The exterior walls are modular and can act as doors that are hinged on the bottom, expanding out to create an open floor plan and more floor space or hinged on top to shade and shelter from sun and rain. There are areas with nested doors to allow for both simultaneously.

THE WAY OF THE LOTUS: culinary institute
Architecture Studio Poiesis III, F22
Professor: Tommy Cheemou Yang, Laura Garaofalo
Done in partnership with Delaney Rice*
Located on Beechwood Blvd, Pittsburgh, this culinary centre is to be dedicated to Korean Buddhist monk chef Jeong Kwan. The design is developped through the use of a field drawing developped with Jeong Kwan’s ideologies and gastronomic aesthetic qualities as a method of form finding.

field drawing
We interpretted the three-dimensional field model by distinguishing shapes and patterns from the field drawing and used systems and methods of extruding, overlapping and stacking. The crossing patterns in the background with ligher lineweights made up the structural lattice that holds the structure at differing heights whilst the more distinguishable shapes made up the larger stacked shapes.

physical site model done in partnership with Delaney Rice
site model
The site, ‘sledding hill’, on Beechwood boulevard slopes steeply down from the sidewalk and from the Riverview trail to the lowest point on the opposite corner. We situated our main structure along the Riverview trail and excavated to create a lower level that connects to a lower elevation on the site. On the other end of the site, we created a bioswale to capture rainwater for reuse, slow water runoff, recharge groundwater, isolate noise and create a lush landscape with both local plants as well as eucalyptus and lavender to reduce mosquitos. Using the excavated land, we poured earth to create an elevated plot of land where our pavilion sits which is a multi-use outdoor area that also acts as an outdooor amphitheatre thanks to the slope of the site.
The field drawing was interpreted into a three-dimensional physical model and turned into a small-scale massing model. The massing consists of repeated, stacked and overlapped elongated triangles, cylinders and our signature shape that evokes a lotus petal.

Professor: Vicki Achnani, Jared Abraham, Heather Bizon
Done in partnership with Aayush Saxena*
Utilising the study of precedents, hybridisations were developped with a partner as a method of form finding for three sites throughout Pittsburgh without an assigned program. Connected via its interaction with water and influenced by the urban voids that characterises the site, one site is a large housing project that acts as a water catchment, another is a water treatment facility that also has mixed use and lastly a vertical park where water is celebrated by a waterfall. All sites exists a public park and radical landscaping that formally plays with creating multiple levels, demanding viewpoints and experiences.

One can mark the 1950s Negro Removal push out, conducted to usher the first Renaissance, which warehoused Black people in locations isolated and scattered that destroyed the geographic, social, economic, and political heart the African-American community.”There have been two main drivers for this displacement. One of the drivers gentrification. gentrification, mean the Pittsburgh neighborhoods that were redlined during and after World War are now being flipped for profit by the banks and the developbiggest examples, but happening your council districts. The other driver has been destruction of public housing without replacement. The practice the housing authorities supported by the city and the URA has been to offer vouchers to public housing residents and promise them that they can return after the projects are torn down and rebuilt, but the return never happens for the vast majority families. — Carl Redwood Stop lying to our faces. We know from generations of redlining, highway construction, and government efforts to maintain segregation and other forms of largely intentional structural racism that low income people are disproportionately Black. When Pittsburgh becomes unaffordable for low-income people, Black people leave the city.” — JT Walker One of the other big talking points from the afternoon was the $355 million Pittsburgh set to receive COVID relief funding from the American Rescue Plan. Activists suggested that $200 million of that be allocated into building affordable housing for East Liberty, Homewood, and Lincoln-Larimer area residents who have been displaced. There no formal plan do this as of now - Dani Janae “They chose because crime and blight,” said Burgess “Lawrenceville has been my home for years, but now have no choice but to move outside Pittsburgh. My landlord recently hiked my rent to over $1300 per month,” Karen Lyons, “People of color are overrepresented criminals. People color who are the victims of disasters, or who suffer from drug addiction are given less favorable news coverage than similarly impacted whites. These stereotypes, turn, have a negative impact on the perception whites have toward people of color everyday life.” - Letrell Deshan Crittenden unhealthy, toxic competition thing that happens here because of lack resources. The way that phrased before we're sitting here fighting over crumbs instead addressing why there are only crumbs.” - Sarah Huny Young seems ridiculous to me, the small amounts, small pools of money that people fight over in order to do their work. It's not even just the nonprofit world. It's like, even you're trying to get job anything like that, the amount resources and opportunities that are available people that are Black in the city minuscule compared the amount of resources and the opportunities that are actually available.” - KMT know how me to come to the city and adjust to going to an all-white school where people were openly racist,” says Coleman “And when we look at equity, we have to look at, like, are the funds being fairly allocated? everybody getting piece of the pie? Are people being built up to stand next to one another? And that's not how things are in this city.” - Coleman "When people leave, they probably and they are also probably the risk takers that you need in the city,” says Perry. “You don’t just lose talent. You lose mindset. When Black women and college-educated folks leave, really hurts the city more than just loss of person.” - Perry

Lower Hill Parking Lots WATER CATCHMENT
The site is an urban void that necessitates more housing complexes. The project is an elevated housing complex that has public park on its ground that acts as a connection to the larger city.
Three Rivers Heritage Trail WATER TREATMENT
The site is an urban void that is flood prone, delapidated post-industrial facility and is disconnected from neighbourhoods by an 8-lane highway. The project is primarily an underground water treatment facility that hosts educational tours. On the ground is a radical topographical public park. Elevated is a mixed use program that consists of housing, restaurant, gallery and public spaces. At all points, providing dynamic viewpoints.

Gateway Station
WATER CELEBRATION
The site is an urban void that is isolated via three busy downtown roads and tall skyscrapers. For the provision of fresh air and a reach to the sky, a vertical park is proposed. A house for plants, insects and birds in which pedestrians can visit. The ground as a place office workers can sit and have lunch and peer down to the underground cave-like forest and the station and vice versa as a journey for the eyes rather than the body that connects the street to the station.
