Abstract

PROMENADE AND MUSEALITY A Museum for Landscape and regional Agriculture

A Museum that plays the role of a link , not a limit in itself. This is the vision of the Museum for Landscape, where the entire valley becomes a spectacle, and this is flattered by the building. The position of the museum in relation to the valley is therefore an introduction to this territory, with a wide panoramic view. The museum is integrated in the landscape by being encrusted in the ground, only a facade appears slightly to reappear on the side of the forest. This form emanates from the need to focus the museum on the agricultural and natural landscape, while offering it 1- a connection with the forest, 2- a unique atmosphere, 3- different degrees of access to natural light for the different functions.

Roof structure Iterations

Formalisation The choice of the shape of the museum is the result of a set of optimizations, at the structural, economic, functional, and aesthetic level. So we try to make the atrium and roof interesting while keeping a simple and efficient structure. We are then interested in the route that is created inside the Museum, and how the roof of the building can be part of it.

Architectural program EXTERIEUR// La forme exterieure du musée est le résultat d’une optimisation de plusieurs facteurs, qui visent premièrement à créer un angle de vue unique vers le territoire agricole. On crée donc une déformation de la structure pour la rendre une extension des promenades intégrant le parcours muséal parfaiement avec le paysage.

RAMPE - SORTIE // Cet espace finale du parcours muséal est la fin de l’espace intérieur, et le début de l’extérieur, on a donc une perspective vers la forêt, et une légerté des expositions qui mettent en valeur le rapport int-ext. CAFETERIA-BIBLIO // L’espace statique principale du Musée, il représente un espace mis à part, pour le repos et la lecture. Sa façade vitrée permet une vue riche, de la structure du batiment, et du paysage.

HALL D’ENTREE - LOUNGE // Reception du musée, représentant l’espace initial d’entrée au bâtiment. Contient aussi l’espace des services internes et le WC principal. C’est l’espace de séparation entre les deux directions qui se proposent à toute personne qui viiste : Amphitheatre ou Exposition. AMPHITHEATRE // L’espace de l’Amphitheatre est isolée du sens naturel du parcours, cet étage n’est donc utilisé que pour les conférences et les événements spécifiques.Plusieurs espaces suivent cet amphitheatre, on y compte la salle de projection et les coulisses, espaces de préparation pour les orateurs ou

INTERIEUR // La rampe génère des espaces, et crée d’autres fermés au sein du musée.On peut donc lire l’espace principale du musée comme parcours, au sein duquel se disposent les expositions et les espaces statiques.

PAYSAGE // Elément principal de l’étude, dans le cadre du musée d’Agriculture, le paysage est mis en valeur à travers un traitement formel intégré à la topographie existante, mais avec un sens plastique dynamique.Ceci permet de séparer le territoire du musée de ses alentours, tout en l’intégrant dans son contexte.Cette dynamique est aussi opposée à la forme du Musée, qui est plus aggessive, et moins fluide par rapport à son territoire.

Structural optimisation The structure of the museum rooftop was developed following a structural optimization procedure through the Karamba-3D plug-in in Grasshopper. The studies of the number of beams and potential deformation allowed a better understanding of the structural abilities of the roof / atrium.

Displacement

Axial stress

Deformation studies

Thermal optimisation The design decisions of the roof structure were also guided by a thorough investigation on the solar radiation received by the building in different iterations of the pipes / roof density and structural developement. This was to improve the visual / thermal comfort and minimize the needs for mechanic heating/cooling procedures..

TOWARDS A GREEN MINING INDUSTRY Planting colonies in the Atacama Desert Lithium ponds Abstract This installation shows the potential of water evaporation in the Lithium brine ponds, and how the lithium mining can be a green activity, and have the ability to offer plants using solar distillation, while offering not only water but also UV protection for the plants. Artistically, a floating set of pipes with green plants held in the device are a statement of contrast, one that values how a salt pond around which no signs of life exist, can become the source of life itself.

RURAL CANCER Human ego as a tribute to nature Conceptual developement

Beyond being a physical construction, this project stands as an architectural symbolization of the cancer that human ego has brought upon nature’s inhabited land. the building emerges from the forest land , metamorphosed into a complex shape , similar to that of a cancerous cell for the natural context.the white color of the envelope is in contrast with the regining forest polychromy , creating an interesting play of light and shade. The building agresses the visitors of the site, as it unveils itself within the leafage , imposing upon them a complex thought process of «what is that monster doing there ?» .

DEVELOPEMENT OF VARIATIONS /// CANCER-SPREADING Formally , the natural calamities that damage the planet are reflected on the architectural elements as multiple variations of complex nature, resembling the developement of cancerous cells.

FORMAL DEVELOPEMENT OF VOLUMES The site clearly reflects the simple , yet powerful conception , where architecture becomes a link between man and nature , transforming the inhabited space into a visual continuity of the surroudning landscape.

Site Implantation

Developement The vertical developement generates a series of varying volumes that organize our perception of the entire building. The external facade is aligned with small windows that comemorate a medinal ambience , where the exterior of the site is isolated from viewing its interiors. The horizontal develoepment aims to organize a common home , for two moroccans , with two different cultural perceptions of space : a terrace house / a patio house.

Abstract

NEOMEDINAL URBANISM Urban Competition

This proposal is an urban theoretical framework that aims to apply Medinal urbanism into a contemporary cityscape. Scale, territorial planning, developement of transportation and logistics,ratio of built to void, are all utilized towards generating a city for people, and optimal well-being for inhabitants of the city.

As the proposal aims to create pedestrian cities, inspired from research about the Medina, the transportation axis that vertically joins railway and car roads is separated from the built areas. The park-forest area takes place between the two entities, acting as an acoustic and visual shield for the city, but also as a natural public space that people can enjoy for multiple activities.

COMPUTATIONAL SITE PLOTTING Analysis

Process

In this project, for plotting of the site, a computational approach was utilized to study the site division potential, in relation to the environmental performance, and desired densities. Multiple results were generated, and the final output is a combination of multiple genomes. The automation is done utilizing toolbox / decoding spaces in Grasshopper, Rhino. (WIP)

MEDINAL RESEARCH / DAYLIGHT PERFORMANCE OF ANCIENT MEDINA TOPOLOGY Medina of Chefchaouen Abstract This project is an attempt to study the urban performance of the dense ancient medinas of Morocco, as a study case of how low tech developements can offer great advantages in terms of thermal performance and daylight qualities. This study is developed in partnership with Professor Letizia Dipasquale from University of Frienze about the Medina of Chefchaouen.

The day heat in the area of Chefchaouen is solved through the urban organizations of the ancient Medina. As it can be seen, even during hottest hours of the day, the streets of the medina receive little radiation compared to the exterior areas. This surrounds the houses with cold air, allowing to create fresh interiors, also supported by the courtyards within the homes.

GENERATIVE / OPTIMIZED COURTYARD BUILDINGS IN THE FAROE ISLANDS (WIP) Twisted Courtyard massing optimization Abstract As part of my thesis project, I am testing the potential form developement of a courtyard building in the Faroese context. The optimiziation process is mainly concerned with daylight and solar radiation, as the Faroe Islands receive some of the lowest amounts of daylight per year. This is a WIP project (to be updated). Octopus for Grasshopper & Ladybug are the main tools for the optimization process. Presented here are some of the best performing genomes.

THE URBAN SAIL Materials / Shield layers KADK - M.A Architecture 5th Year Semester 1 Prof. David Garcia Academic / Individual

THE URBAN SAIL Prototype / Installation to investigate wind speed in relation to urban Abstract The project aims to generate an installation that generates permanent protection from strong urban winds, through an automated rotation mechanism that allows the « shield» part of the prototype to always face the wind. That mechanism can be summed in a central rotation element, and and a sail that is pushed by the wind, wherver the wind direction is. The project is also a computational exploration of formal optimlization, aiming to minimize material use, optimize wind protection and generate an interesting artistic impact of the installation.

Shield_01 Abstract The computational aspect of the project is about minimizing material use, as this project tries to be conscious of the SDGs, and to minimize the carbon foorprint of the construction process. The computational aspect also aims to test wind optimizing performance through CFD simulations which allow us to know more about the wind qualities of each iteration. This is done via Eddy3D, and Ocotpus for multi-goal evolutionary solving. Different proposals are being tested in order to prepare an optimally efficient structure. As this is a WIP, and CFD simulations are highly time consuming, only few proposals have been fully tested in Eddy3d.

The final prototype presented aims to marry structural and constructive effiency with artistic qualities and a dynamic nature that allows it to be reactive to the wind.

Abstract

NEO-VERNACULAR FAROESE CITYSCAPE Mixed use urban complex

This project aims to generate a series of urban micro-cliamtes within the Faroese Capital, allowing for optimied urban pedestrian exrperiences, and a culturally integrated visual identity.The formal developmenet of the project is based on thorough climatic analysis and investigation of the different qualities of the site, and reusing principles of vernacular architecture.

Site selection

SITE / URBAN IDENTITY An analysis of the Faroese Capital

The site’s position is chosen to be within the current developement area of the Faroese Capital. The site’s connection to the other islands, and to the current existing city gives it precious urban value. This would allow a project placed therein to become a new urban center, and set a precedent for the area.

Analysis Through urban exploration of the site’s surroundings, it can be clearly detected that a very large residential cityscape takes over vast surfaces of the city, where large areas of the city are inhabited by spaciously placed buildings designed for cars, creating a repulsive urban environment through out the Island.

Urban models The currently existing two urban models in the Faroe Islands capital emphasizes the radical segregation between the two urban modes. This generates two different urban environments climatically, and clear distinctions between the two living modes for pedestrians and residents within these areas.

THE OLD TOWN

CONTEMPORARY

Efficient wind mitigating urban form

High speed Wind corridors Low urban comfort levels

Human oriented & scaled urban environment

Car oriented & scaled urban environment

Preservation of Faroese spatial & cultural identity

Internationalisation of the landscape

Compact High density built environment

Spread Low density built environment

Locally sourced, unprocessed materials(Stone, Earth, Wood, Turf)

Imported, highly industrialized materials (Metal, Glass, Concrete)

MODEL 1 The Old Town

MODEL 2

Contemporary Dev.

Status The consequences of the newly developping contemporary unhuman urbanism is certainly damage on the inhabitants and the land of the Faroe Islands. This can be seen through the urban status & quality of life within, as Factories cause lower air quality, extensive car use causes obesity, high carbon emissions and energy use through the new forms of construction, and lost cultural and community sense.

URBAN STATUS Most Industry lowers air quality

Higher carbon emissions in construction and daily use

Rise of obesity and overweight in The Faroe Islands ( 43% in 2003 to 56% in 2018)

Much higher needs for energy in buildings and roads.

Contradictory visual landscape

Low community and neighborhood sense

Less time spent in outdoor urban spaces

Loss of Faroese spatial identity

Rise of a car culture / need

High dependency on import & High carbon footprint

Iterative Roof

Different levels

Simple Iterative roof

Smooth slope

Formalisation Different iterative explorations were tested during the design of the courtyard system. These all start from the idea of the courtyard in order to utilize that as a central design tool. Then the surrounding built volume takes different forms and shapes aiming to simulate the Faroese mountains, and considering the required slope in order to be fully accessible for pedestrians.

Landscape A Museum that plays the role of a link , not a limit in itself. This is the vision of the Museum for Landscape, where the entire valley becomes a spectacle, and this is flattered by the building. The position of the museum in relation to the valley is therefore an introduction to this territory, with a wide panoramic view.

COMMERCIAL TYPOLOGY

MAXIMUM DIRECT DAYLIGHT ON PRODUCTS / MAXIMUM WALL SPACE FOR PRODUCT STORAGE

OFFICE & EDUCATIONAL TYPOLOGY STRONG CONNECTION TO THE EXTERIOR FOR VISUAL COMFORT & HEALTH BENEFITS

Typologies Two main typologoies exist for the small buildings of the urban courtyard, varying based on the assigned functions. For the commercial typology, skylight is prefered for optimized wall storage space, and glass roofs. For the educational & office topology, windows are preferred for a strong visual communication with the exterior, bringing more nature into the houses.

Program The projec’s program is a mixed use urban developement, aiming to create a new urban center, that marries residential areas, work & study funcitons, along with pedestrian urban spaces. The connections between the functions aim to create comfortable wind-mitigating urban microclimates.

Abstract

GENERATIVE COURTYARDS Daylight optimized urban buildings for the Faroe Islands

Generative metholodogies are used to test the potential courytard scales and forms for the Faroese climate. The urban courtyard creates a safe area in the center of the building, allowing people to enjoy the qualities of Faroese nature, without the difficulty of high wind speeds and uncomfortable urban environments.
