HEALTH CARE ADDITION A sponsored studio by HDR, Inc. Team: Ashley Seefled & Ebulimiti Aikebai.

Development: Eight Weeks

For several years the engineering and Architecture firm, HDR, Inc. through Omaha, Nebraska office, sponsored several multi-disciplinary studio under the leader ship of Cameron Campbell and Jihyun Song. The studio imposed was to study the act of adding a new structured addition to the old existing campus why adhering to a newly proposed medical care act imposed by the Obama Healthcare act of 2014. The call for proposal asks to assess an existing infrastructure that was at a point disserving to the needs of the medical and patient society on local grounds. The added landmark was to be the beacon that represented the moving of times towards a fast and more economical healthcare care society. The studio was also to analyze and research Health Care reform after the Obama Care Act went into effect and the emergence of 23-hour surgical centers.

Shell Space.

Through many iterations, the landscape was manipulated and refilled in order to create a sunken garden condition that existed as a hidden zen garden for patients, doctors and visitors alike..

While that opportunity provided external approaches, it gave a grander hint on how we should approach the interior spaces. as we experimented, we reached a grand where the hightech parametric designed louvers were constrasted by warm low tech panelization and flooring in order bring a sense of calm and serenity to the space, making it a place of healing rather than a hospital.

The spaces organized inside play to the benifit of circulation and privace above all. Hospitals of old, has this problem with congested corridors, lack of proper office and lounge spaces and improper patient distribution. Therefor, we provided a linear line of circulation for the patient and looping one for the doctors. The linear line means that the patients arrive from a point of entry, go through the process of healing and would depart through a different point away from the eyes of visitors or patients waiting their turn.

The entry zones leading to the hospital had several issues with parking, far away ambulances entry, no clear sign of entry towards the medical campus and such. Thus, we did some landscape design to allow proper visibility of the medical campus entry zone. The parking depicted in the image above is to show that instead of providing parking for the entire campus, we concentrated on providing parking for those who are in need for it the most. The approach was to blur the line between the hardscape and the softscape to allow for a more relaxing arrival and serene departure.

[T-77] TERMINAL - 77 Comperhensive Studio Team: Kevin Stromert, Yan Chen, Nick Dean Cross Development: Ten Weeks

Located near a crowded Highway 77, south of Dallas, Texas, we were challenged to design a fueling station that would serve as a part of the larger whole within the culture of velocity and cars.

Through research of vehicular culture we deduce a set of drivers that serve as the project parameters. Which allowed us to make a fueling station that serves the nation of truckers that carry the domestic supply of goods around the nation keeping businesses alive, while challenging the programmatic organization of the architecture allowing the birth of a new two levelled fuel station.

The diagrams show, delibrate manipulation of the existing lot so that it manifests into a intentionally extration path driven approach dictated by two major worst case scenarios, one for a pedestrian vehicle and another for a commercial Semi-truck. The two cases allow us to understand how carve the site as to adhere to a vehicles turn radius and how should the architecture respond to that carving. Per say design from the machines prior to the humans.

I organized the Structural basis that was born out the project to accommodate ease of navigation and path guiding for the truckers that would travel to the lower haven within the project, having designed the column in a tree like fashion, allows for natural sunlight to enter in and for exhaust fumes to funnel out. The sectioning of the landscape allows a defining parameter that exuberates the edges of the lower haven and allows for site scaled connection between the levels as daylight comes in during the day and the artificial lights projects upwards during the night.

The canopy that serves a tri-purposed existence, guides rainwater into the cistern located on site in the lower level, provides shade above the fuel pumps and the parking space, while providing a hidden sanctuary in which one could enjoy or move forward towards a viewing deck looking towards the heart of Dallas.

TERRA FORMA Research Studio Individual Work Development: Eight Weeks

In this Project, we were asked to imagine a remote desert research station that sits in the Arid climatic Condition of the Desert, Through personal research and focus, I decided to place the project in the North Western desert of my country Kuwait.

Eighty percent of natural wildlife was eradicated due to over glazing, unsupervised human activity and the 1990 gulf war that yielded the burning of 737 oil wells, polluting air, land and water. The aim of the project was to design an architecture that had the ability to terraform landscape in order to restore and revitalize a lost eco-system in the desert while lessening dust storms and allowing researchers to occupy the architecture before its consumption by the desert as part of its healing process.

The Creation of the new shell, will serve as the threshold in which one crosses between the harsh environement to one the offers protection, serenity and calmness, it will also provide nature with the opportunity to terraform and revitalize.

Having an extreme solution to a problem that built up through 50 years of human abuse to nature and then suddenly accelarated by the effect of war, needs to be a counter force of equal measure, one where it forces terrformation.

Water Collecting

Wind Harvesting

Solar Shading

Seal: during hotter climate

WWThe cells are made of material that are able to expand when the weather is warm, which will be able to seal water that was collected during rainfall. and allows the sand dunes to form while the water is sealed for later use.

Release: during cooler climate

During cooler season when the dunes have formed, the cells then open to release the water into the sand and onto the seed blanket allowing plants to start to grow on and within the dune, to prevent the sand from participating in a sand storm.

Secondary Water Collection system

The secondary water collection system that runs in between all the cells would, over a long period, continuously absorb and store water much like the saguaro cactus in a reservoir underground to keep water from evaporating due to high heat on the desert surface.

Plant Seed Blanket For Revitalization

The mesh- like blanket, would serve as the main element in which plants grow from. It aims to reduce the needed time for seeds to planted or to be transported naturally through air.

The blanket carries native endanged plant seed, such as, Arfaj. The hope is that this method of growing protected plants on buildings would be the precursor to revitaliztion of a fragile and damaged ecosystem.

HYBRID RESIDENTIAL A Design response to the research conducted on Squatting Movement Into The Scapes of Rio De Janiero.

Team: Mohammad Saddegh Dadash Development: Ten Weeks

The project is an exploration of the squatter movement in Rio-De Janiero. We conducted a substantial amount of resrach at the beginning few weeks to understand the nature in which people that lived in favela situation have struggled, allowed to for new social movements and their eventual return to the city center to re-occupy abandoned buiildings and establish them selves as member of the active society and the new social fabric.

VERTICAL EXPANSIONS

PUBLIC GROUNDS

PRIVATE GROUNDS

To understand the favelas, we created a diagram that illustrates that unlike the city's approach to ground, the favelas push private spaces to the back of the corridor as their was a job offer.

The second diagram that illustrates the city condition of understanding the city's configuration and disconnect from the ground.

While conducting research on favelas, we started to understand that during their chaotic construction and their flower like blooming when there is no farming or seeds, This chaos between the structures, allowed for the realization that there exists a hidden netwrok of connections leading from gound of public or living to one another. This network like condition became a prime interest to us and is the subject of our exploration.

While studying the city, we came to that opportunity lied in taking the exiting fabric and nullying it to understand the collective zones in which activities are concentrated and per what they are. this would inform us of which buildings are squattable and which ones aren't.

These would later inform the design approach of our project also.

By understanding the squattable areas that exist around our main site at Monoel Congo, we can start to create a infrastructure process in which we can set up a set by set solution allowing for time additions and the possibility of not only expanding, but also, by its modularity, create different opporunities in diverse collective zones, like: Libraries, Class rooms, a running track, etc...

The diagrams on the left show the process in which the the infrastructural piece is filled over time. and how the algorithm created allows for diversity spaces in relationship to each other.

By choosing three blocks of operation in the heart of Rio De Janiero's City Center, we are introducing a new type of structure that extends from Monoel Congo, the main building of the Squatting movement and extending from there, The new social ground would extend and support it self on three legs (buildings) that through research we have concluded to be either empty or of attraction to GMO's and Labor Union's. in that regard we allowing the people who have no places to live, an opportuntity to not only be part of the society they are in but also create a top down uproach of negotiation between the squatters and the work force who come to the buildings only during the daytime.

Providing proper infraastructure would allow the opportunity of transormability. expansion and mixed used approaches.

TERRA-FIRMA A Landcape Architecture Endeavor Team: Jon Basset, Development: Four Weeks

Through the merging of the soul and the landscape, the research of atmospheric interpretation came to manifest in the study of making. “The work will teach you� was the motto of the studio, which inherently led to the creation of over 80 drawings both 2d and 3d over the course of 5 weeks. The drawings explored possibilities of allowing the land to dictate and shape atmospheric architectural delineation and the process of arriving at the final solution to design in its complete abstracted technicality.

4. Healing

During our site visit, we have encountered many surreal moment in which the site advocated its spirit. Nature having taken over the farm provided us the opportunity to seek certain patterns of movements through the site. From the small Bee to the large Deer, each had their own rhythm and cycle throughout the site. Once we approached our project from that lens, we managed to create a set of meandering paths leading to the architecture as a transitionary point back to nature. The ground itself becomes the healer of the occupants who heal other, namely doctors.

INFORMATION MODELING A Data Analysis Project Team: Zhehui Zhang, Shendao Li, Xiao Gu Development: Eight Weeks

During the age of data driven analysis, the very way architectural design is conducted is changing, Algorithms, mathmatical conduction and the evolutionary design stand point, have forever changed what we call the iterative process. More efficient, precise and driven by logic, this approach allowed for the chance to evaluate existing building to find out if the designs made by other architects and designs, were in fact the very best possible. Thus, bringing us to this project which in a group of Four: Myself, Xiao Gu, Zhehui Zhang and Shendao Li, have conducted analysis on SOM’s Time Warner building at Columbus Circle here in New York City.

Trend study SOM’S Time Warner Center

In this study we incurred that we research and analyze trump tower in order to engage all the controversy about the buildings two tower configuration and its effects on central park and such. We analyzed it first occurding to its obstruction to central park, it gross floor area ratio, daylighting, efficiency, its provision of unobstructed views for the sorrounding buildings.

Two Tower Scenario

After doing some data analysis on the efficiency scale of the buildings original scale, configuration, obstructed views, floor to site ration, etc.. We have concluded that the only way to measure the actuallity of the claim that the building’s efficiency ratio could be increased if re calibrate the initial inputs of the building, from height, rotation, location, we could possibly re-orient the buildings and gain a different result of the Two Tower Scenario that blocks the sun less and allows for a better distribution of the floor to area ration.

One Tower Scenario

In this scenario, we decided to explore the possiblity that the two towers become one. This scenario pits the same criteria of judgement as the two tower scenario, and ask the Algorthimic software to run an evolutionary code in order to see if this scenario allows for better daylighting, gross floor area and allowance of solar movement all the way to central park.

Analysis, scripting, data research and generation with renders Developed and completed by myself, Shendao & Xiao

Comparisons

The results we found suggests that the one tower scenarios are substantially at a higher efficiency rate due to the higher gross floor area ration and higher percentage of natural daylight making it to central park. we suspect however that the reason for this result is that the analysis put a rough estimation on elevator cores and fire escapes.

The cores for the single tower in reality have to be much larger and substantial compared to two smaller cores in the two tower scenario.

This offset, creates a discrepency in the analysis, which causes such a huge difference in between the one and two tower scenario.

PARAMETRIC FLOWS A Study Into Work Flows Between Rhino & Revit.

Individual Project Development: Eight Weeks

` The project places it self into the context of the Affordable houses of Baruch, Located near Franklin bridge at lower South East side of Manhattan. A gray area where both affordability and crime and deterioration exists.

The Proposal is aid the sustainability movement and support these relics to become viable and sustainble. This Project will explore taking the buildings down and creating a new “Animal� that sits within the site, one that looks into the parametric ways of the future and into the what can an algorithm generates to term it self with the environment.

The experiments were generate first using Rhino and the plugin Grasshopper as a tool to input environmental data from Energy Plus into the sculpturing system that morphed a rectilinear building block into a smooth bellying structure that responds to solar movement directly absorbed by the structure or blocked by the surrounding buildings.

By creating a workflow that links Grasshopper to Autodesk Revit, we are able to feed our resulting structure from Rhino and into Revit, all while instantly inputting adaptive components into the mix, allowing a very complex, environmentally conscious building to surface!

In this experiment, we engaged the opportunity to create hyper realistic archtiectural renderings for made up rural or urban settings of our choosing. My partner and I, agreed early on that we should do ultra realistic rendering of a post-utopian urban setting, one which humanity is scarce and urbanity abandoned and have returned back to its dessimal existence.

If one man survived what would be his condition? and how would we he come to peace with his existence?

These images are the productions of that endeavorand the result of two highly imaginative minds come together.

In order to create such ultra realistic scenes, my self and my partner Rui Peng, experimented with many possiblities until reaching a solution that offered something surreal yet tangible.

This project was done after a RFP arrived after my graduation from Iowa.. The request was to provide adequate floors plans, several interior designs and an exterior design for a residential house in Kuwait.

The house currently is underconstruction and its nearing the completion of the interior spaces.

Monumentality was needed after explorations into the Modern and classical styles were made. the final results colors was to call upon a methods that allows the building’s own image of beauty doesn’t weather with time. Kuwait has a lot of sandstorm that occur with no prior warning out there. Yet, that is one of the main reasons to which these colors in particular were chosen and how the building was designed in the first place for that reason.

The Ground floor is dedicated to Guests and common spaces that residents from the top two floors could occupy. while the house is intended to a single family, the Second floor is designed to be two identical apartments that would be rented out and serves as a money generator for the family.

This project was done as a challenge to explore the a realm of scientifically fictional worlds that could manifested through geometric understanding of a hexagonal shape, a stable and powerful form in nature and the microscopic imagery produced by laboratory scientists involved with Biology.

By its extrusion, bending, twisting and deformation, we arrive at a set of animals and anomalies that creation the inhibitor (the occupant) and the inhabited (the vessel). The processional movement from beginning to end signifies that exploration has a beginning and an end, an endeavor that set a number of questions and begs the appropriation of their eventual deaths. Exploration no matter what it is, is the final frontier.

Taking precedent from the natural world, I was able to construct these worlds out the notion that buildings unit of them are brought from and understood and the very veins that course through our bodies.

Perhaps, the biggest exploration would eventually occur in the one place that is truly dictates us, which is within our own vessels.

Biology played a big part of this research as it gave way to grant hints and inspiration of entities underneath the microscope, there exists a world far beyond ours. A beautiful yet dangerous one.
