01 IL PESCARIO DI VENEZIA THE FISHING AQUARIUM OF VENICE

TERM FALL 2024 | COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, GSAPP CRITS MARK RAKATANSKY & JORGE OTERO-PAILOS TYPE

INDIVIDUAL PROJECT

To honor the history of fishing in Venice, I developed a fishing museum and aquarium in the 16th century built Galeazze, the abandoned twin warehouses located in the Venetian Arsenale. This adaptive reuse endeavor is dubbed Il Pescario di Venezia (Pesca Rendering by Hannah Dinaburg-Nosdrin

+ Acquario = Pescario). The first floor or “Fishing Zone,” includes ten floor-to-ceiling tanks consisting of both edible and non-edible marine organisms, currently inhabiting the Venetian Lagoon. There are also seven interactive catch and release “fish farms,” as well as a timeline of the history of fishing in Venice. The museum consists of exhibitions and artifacts reflective of periods spanning from 421 CE to present day. The second floor is named the “Feeding Zone.” This is where customers can dine and indulge in traditional Venetian seafood specialties. Lastly, the third floor is made up of a stadium for viewing live tuna and other large edible fish feedings. Live entertainment, and an interactive water table with miniature fishingrelated vessels built in the Arsenale are also included.

DAN WOOD

TYPE

INDIVIDUAL PROJECT

In the future’s future, set in the late 2050s, commercial jet travel is nearing obsolescence in an effort to reduce carbon burn. Although cross-continental high-speed rail exists by now, it still takes over a day for it to cross the U.S. mainland. As the world needs a much Observation Deck

faster way to travel, the Ministry for the Future’s Center for Land Transportation Innovation presents “Prospect Pods.” This new

Pod Hotel

technology can transport passengers through pneumatic tubes that

of the future will be accessible on demand through an app, and will be easy to board without the long wait. Additionally, Prospect Pods are situated between “cactus-like” leaves which hold the program for this nine story ministry and skytop terminal. Spaces include public gathering forums, shops, observation decks, and office floors for Ministry workers who can view the transport tubes accelerating down in a parabolic form. Welcome aboard!

03 SEEING OUT LOUD

A BLIND SEASONAL SENSORY EXPERIENCE TERM SPRING 2021 | CCNY, SPITZER SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE CRIT

IRMA OSTROFF

TYPE

GROUP PROJECT: Kenneth Marburg, Hannah Dinaburg-Nosdrin, Shulan Zhao, and Joseph Marcevic

The purpose of this exhibition prototype is to sensually connect the blind or visually impaired to the visual world, through the use of the four seasons in controlled spaces. This can help the user overcome the fear of isolation or lack of trust. The form of the exterior structure is Rendering by Hannah Dinaburg-Nosdrin

purposely shaped to mimic the human eye, and the “blood vessels” within, function as paths for pedestrian circulation. This exhibition is not only limited to the unsighted. Even people with 20/20 vision are encouraged to participate. Just throw on a blindfold, and take off your shoes if you wish, to encounter all Seeing Out Loud has to offer! Our main goal is to provide participants with confidence that the exhibit is safe, accessible, comfortable, and free of distractions. Each “performance” space is equipped with sound-absorbing materials for walls and floors; a safe walking path with warning cues such as slopes and textures; and adjustable heating and cooling to satisfy year-round temperatures.

04 FORGOTTEN HEROES

CITY HALL PARK INTERPRETIVE CENTER TERM SPRING 2020 | CCNY, SPITZER SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE CRIT

FRAN LEADON

TYPE

INDIVIDUAL PROJECT

This interpretive center functions as a “healing vessel” and memorial to the American Revolutionary War heroes captured, jailed, and tortured by the British. It contains records of all of the Revolutionary era jails that were once located in the vicinity of City Hall Park. Three

BASSWOOD MODEL (3/32” = 1’)

design components serve to recreate the historical phases of the old Martyrs’ Prison: the preserved prison section, intersected by the subway; the Grecian porticoes and steps symbolizing the Hall of Records; and the research silo, which stitches together the two. Its formal language indicates the extrusion of the prison’s cupola. Within the silo, information about each of the ten Revolutionary prisons would be displayed on digital screens, in reverse chronological order based on the construction date. An elevator would carry the visitors through the silo “UP” to reflect the past, and “DOWN” to return to present day. In addition, the abandoned local platform at the Brooklyn Bridge - City Hall Station can be accessed by visitors.

05 CASCADE HOUSE

AN AFFORDABLE COMMUNITY IN PARK SLOPE TERM SUMMER 2020 | CCNY, SPITZER SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE CRIT

JOHN CUNNINGHAM

TYPE

INDIVIDUAL PROJECT

Cascade House consists of twenty-nine affordable micro units in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Mimicking a cascading waterfall, this modern yet historical housing complex provides the perfect community haven for young adults in their twenties and thirties. The adaptive reuse of two existing brownstone buildings helps to preserve the built environment, as well as the history of Park Slope. In addition, zoning codes were carefully analyzed to maximize FAR, and utilize Quality Housing deductions in this R6B district. In order to modernize the edifice, glass bricks were chosen for the facade, connecting the two buildings, as a compliment to the traditional brownstone bricks. The glass bricks are also durable, recyclable, nontoxic, and energy efficient. The amenity spaces include: a solarium lobby, reading nooks, a large public terrace for outdoor dining, three full communal kitchens, a gym, and six cascading spa pools with a retractable roof for year-round enjoyment.

06 THE CRACK THAT LEADS TO HOME

HOUSING FOR NEW YORK’S SUBWAY HOMELESS TERM FALL 2019 | CCNY, SPITZER SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE CRIT

LIOR GALILI

TYPE

INDIVIDUAL PROJECT

This tri-level, eighty-eight unit housing complex on Roosevelt Island was designed as a permanent housing prototype, specifically for the New York City Subway homeless population. Strategically placed along the axis of the Roosevelt Island Subway Station, this intervention was configured with thorough research and dedication to this community. The theme that resonated from my field observations was threefold: consistency, familiarity, and privacy. Thus, familiar elements of the subway were integrated within the design of the units. Each dwelling contains a wrap-around “subway” staircase; a captain’s bed resembling a subway car bench; and a rectangular window symbolizing a subway car window. In addition, every home is a private haven for one, with shared terraces to protect against isolation. Lastly, the units are arranged in a pattern mimicking the surrounding buildings, with modular stacking to maximize efficiency.

07 STEEPLECHASE AQUATIC CENTER CONEY ISLAND’S NEWEST SPORTS COMPLEX TERM SPRING 2019 | CCNY, SPITZER SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE CRIT

HENRY GROSMAN

TYPE

GROUP PROJECT: Kenneth Marburg, Jenny Tan, and Mohammed Gueye

This boardwalk natatorium was designed with an iterative approach, utilizing various foam study models. Throughout the process, a game called Formal Mad Libs was played as a creative engine for form selection. Descriptive sentences were constructed as follows: “A(n) [adjective] and [adjective] [noun] with [plural noun]. Thus, the logic of a “nodal and squashed spiral with triangulation” dictated the elements which constituted the final design. The building is made up of both tensile and compressive structural systems. The compressive elements consist of programmed concrete chunks, or “nodes,” triangulated and canted at 60° angles. The connectors of those “nodes” are the pedestrian walkways within the building. Oppositely, the roof is comprised of a tensile system, through the application of a lightweight fabric reinforced with steel wires. Masts or “quadro pods” hold up the roof and spread loads by abutting four concrete shear walls simultaneously.

08 BIRDMAN WEARABLE INTERFACE

ADAPTIVE SHIELD FOR THE NATURAL ELEMENTS TERM SPRING 2017 | CCNY, SPITZER SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE CRIT

ROBIN OSLER

TYPE

GROUP PROJECT: Kenneth Marburg and Conor Incledon

The inspiration for this wearable device emerged from our interactions with Will, a New Yorker who dedicated his life to care for pigeons, at Columbus Circle. The Birdman interface was designed to protect individuals from the harshness of the summer sun and the winter wind. It provides a unique sensory experience, as it transforms to meet the user’s needs, through four different “wing” positions. These include: the open wing position for the sensation of flying; the closed position which provides full body shelter; the attack position which is focused on wind deflection; and the shield position to fend off the elements. Columbus Circle was chosen as the testing ground for our prototype due to its openness, which creates a wind tunnel effect. As a result, there is greater susceptibility to harmful elements, making it a site in need of greater safety and security for pedestrians.

A STUDY OF VISIBILITY ON THE HIGH LINE TERM FALL 2020 | CCNY, SPITZER SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE CRIT

LIOR GALILI

TYPE

INDIVIDUAL PROJECT

Situated between two private buildings on the High Line, between West 25th and West 26th Streets, this lively intervention blurs the lines between the private and the public. With the goal of designing a social distancing intervention, a temporary scaffolding prototype was created to address both density and equity. This system of frames can be placed between two private buildings to invert the position of the “visitor” with that of the “resident,” creating more prospect and refuge and a new “third place” for the public. Sociologist Ray Oldenburg described “third places” as equitable public spaces of leisure between home and work. This structure can consist of a program of individual “living rooms” filled with leisurely hammocks, exercise bikes, and telescopes, giving the visitor more autonomy, and leveling the playing field of this societal dichotomy. Building vertically can also reduce overcrowding.
