Ocellaris Isles Master Plan

Baku, Azerbaijan Fall 2013 3 Months Markus Dochantschi

DS 5

By consuming the polluted land and solid waste from Baku and the greater Caspian, the Ocellaris Isles generate a mutualistic relationship with Baku and the greater region through the filamentous exchange of waste for clean land and energy.

Based upon the precedent of the Khazar Islands currently under construction by Avesta Corporation, Ocellaris has the potential to to become a platform for a multireligious, economic, sustainable, and multicultural society by leveraging current land creation opportunities and bypassing the existing infrastructural challenges posed by Baku. The resultant Caspian Sea could become the most important real estate in the world, connecting Azerbaijan, Iran, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, and Russia.

The continuing historical confluence of these multiple cultures coupled with a vast untapped pool of misplaced resources, or trash and waste in laymen’s terms, demands a new regional urban interface. The goal of Ocellaris is not only to establish a new urban network based upon an efficient methodology of waste management but also to instill in both the native Azeri and those in the greater Caspian region a new culture of wasting-not.

Leveraging even its own built environment as fuel for this new ecology, the resultant city as a cluster of islands might generate a new self-recycling metropolis, offerring itself as a new role model for transforming one of the most oil rich and polluted countries in the world into a sustainable model of investment for the future.

Economic Context In lieu of recent moves toward renewable energy sources and recycling of existing systems in tandem with the legacy of pollution and dillapidation from the DECAYING SOVIET INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX throughout the Greater Caspian Region, investment in waste management strategies has garnered support by many of the world's leading INVESTMENT HUBS. Regarding Azerbaijanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s EXPOSURE TO GLOBAL ECONOMIC MARKETS and a recent investment by the World Bank in a local waste to energy plant, Baku has a the potential to overhaul and transform its existing infrastructural systems and networks by LEVERAGING MISPLACED RESOURCES-0-i.e., trash, waste materials and opportunity costs of failed energy potentials.

This aggregate couldevelop of a NEW ECONOMIC TYPE based upon sustainable energy production, recycling and reuseable materials, and waste management.

Why Waste?

Where many see a region plagued by environmental pollution, informal dump sites, and aging and/or abandoned industrial complexes, the Ocellaris Isles project has identified a vast network of MISPLACED RESOURCES and ecological potential.

Rather than promoting the generation of additional, perhaps even run-away overproduction of wasteful and polluting materials, the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to leverage these misplaced resources as a TRANSLATION MECHANISM toward a more sustainable, investment driven economy with the potential to network throughout the Greater Caspian region.

From Waste to Land New York City, for example, produces 1.67 MILLION TONS OF GARBAGE PER 1 MILLION PEOPLE annually. However, only a fraction of this is recycled, and the majority of it must be hauled by individual trucks to distant landfill sites.

By leveraging the POTENTIAL ENERGIES generated from local waste management processes that employ more efficient logistical

means, the Ocellaris Isles has the potential to create new ecologies of waste by tranforming waste and misplaced resources into land, energy, and reusable materials. By employing unused space, systems with untapped logistical potential, and/or bulk transit, efficient management becomes also about about managing the waste efficiently. In this sense, Ocellaris is as much about WASTE as it is about WASTING NOT.

By constructing an ecology of transportation systems and scenarios in conjunction with the redistribution and management of misplaced resources, the combined master plan becomes as much a plan for intended flows of people and resources as it does a future relic of those flows once they become obsolete. The intention is that the resultant paths emerge as initial guidelines for development and circulation to be modified per the usersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; future programming requirements.

Follow the Waste Waste management is as much a driver as it is a consequence of the flows established through the spinal typology. In the interest of developing not only an infrastructure but also a culture involving the participation of and interaction with waste, pneumatic tubes compose the nerves to the spinal system by constituting the user interface of these ecologies. Physically and conceptually linking and structuring the distribution system, the pipes and chutes network both the higher and lower density zones to underground collection centers where materials and people share the same circulatory transit systems via train and/or boat.

Internal-internal to the isles, waste is primarily transported via train to the intended plant. External-internal to the isles, the canals and waterways aid in the bulk transit via barges enabled by economies of scale.

In contrast to local food generation via smaller scale composting and hydroponic means, the main composting plant becomes both a centralized location for compost arriving from the Greater Caspian region and an educational and international food destination for residents.

The resultant strata are both drivers and consequences of the waste and waste management ecologies in tandem with the spinal typology deployed throughout the Ocellaris Isle cluster. Understanding how pedestrian, vehicular, and green spaces are stratified in a typical urban environment suggested how the prioritizing the pedestrian experience and removing traditional vehicular traffic would create a new urban paradigm not based upon the automobile.

The density strata (below) explores how the flows of people, waste, and recycled materials derive circulation and, in turn, density gradients of the urban clusters. Thus, there is a direct correlation between the spinal elements, the higher densities, and the flow of people and waste. The zoning, topographic, and cluster strata are the physical manifestations of these ecologies of flow.

Unit Typologies Each unit density derives its form and function from its proximity to the central spine, to its neighboring buildings, and from its orientation relative to the sun. As an aggregate, the buildings were envisioned not as single entities but as interrelated clusters. While property lines exist based upon the established zoning strata, the form of the urban fabric responds to the flow of people and resouces around them.

The original ground level ceases to be the 8M only mode of circulation. Instead, the resultant filamentous exchange throughout the urban fabric enables multiple planes of circulation and inter-building programmability.

Strata Programmability If the idea of waste-not implies that spatial waste constitutes material waste, then the topography resulting from the density-flow based logic is inherently flawed. The programmatic and circulatory continuity via the inter-building filaments consequently is only partially complete. Eroding the excess material resulting from the topography enables the programming of the sectional component of the strata.

Erosion Strategy DS 5

These spaces have the potential to reduce material waste, increase transportation efficiencies between the high-medium-low density gradient, generate local organic recycling systems, and provide sheltered leisure spaces from the harsh winds that whip through the streets of Baku. In this way, there is no traditional ground level but rather a network of filaments linking the urban clusters together.

THERME LEO

Low Earth Orbit Spring 2013 3 Months Michael Morris

DS 4

As an orbiting thermal bath, Therme Leo's leverages the orbital period of low earth orbit (LEO) on thermal expansion and contraction to create varying modes of balneotherapy, or thermal bathing, via hydronic heat transfer.

The medical intent of the station is to address both the physical--terrestrially based joint and skin ailments--and the psychological--mental challenges to the context of being in LEO. The station quests the idea of a health spa in microgravity as well as how the creation of an external musculature skin could connect the onboard biorhythms with the georhythms of its context.

As Therme LEO breathes in conjunction with its orbital period, it questions how multiple faculties, public and private, can work together by challenging each others' boundaries as they flex into and/or past one another.

While the thermal baths unite the inhabitants through the more tangible experience of communal bathing in a river of moisture, the individual cell relies upon a more intangible experience with water via local radiant heating according to the occupant's spatial and thermal needs.

While Therme Leo re-imagines the atmospheric environments from terrestrial processes in the context of space, it simultaneously inverts the traditional relationships of light and shadow, of thermal gain and rejection, and of shading and openness/visibility. The interior can become the most illuminated while the exterior is the most secluded; the organism shades its interior and maximizes its opportunity for thermal gain while in the sun; it then reveals its interior to capitalize upon views while in the shade of the Earth. Like the blinking of an eye, Therme Leo is both heliophilic and heliophobic. It is this behavior that drives its equilibrium of disequlibrium.

"The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile, but it is indifferent. But if we can come to terms with this indifference and accept the challenges of life within the bounds of death, our existence as a species can have genuine meaning. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light." --Stanley Kubrick, film director, 1968

Derived Adaptive Envelope Understanding water behavior in microgravity suggested an atmospheric spatial relationship between an outer steam cloud and an inner moisture + air condition governed by the temporal relationships of LEO. The formal concept links the onboard biorhythms with the georhythms of its context to explore the innate flux that could exist in an atmospheric spatial relationship. When the local thermal bimetal meshes enveloping the unit are pushed to the extreme, they suggested a larger flexible vessel to encapsulate the aggregation.

This mesh envelopes the station and is the musculature for developing the biorhythms onboard. The outer layer is a bimetal which upon radiant heating from the sun would flex driving the station's biorhythm of moisture circulation.

The inner layer is a semi permeable membrane which when flexed acts as a natural shading device from direct solar illumination while absorbing the sun's radiant energy.

The inhaling and exhaling of the station relative to its thermo-orbital rhythm generates a spacio-temporal relationship. When exposed to the sun, moisture is drawn out into the external atmosphere. Upon evaporation and exposure to the sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s UV rays, moisture is purified and provides additional radiation protection to the inhabitants. Moisture then has a dual capacitance for healing.

Procession + Experience Traditionally thermal bathing involves considerable time spent in bodies of water. Because of the ease at which a person can move through the space, the baths are reinterpreted in terms of microgravity to be rivers of moisture instead of stationary pools.

The bathing procession of the ritual is like approaching the edge of a cliff just as the clouds cleared to realize you were upon a space greater than yourself. Patients could experience therapy, relaxation, and a psychological epiphany of their place outside of Earth.

The scalar shifting of the space is a point of relief and a means to become scaleless--the experiencing of something akin to being in a celestial cloud ouside of a tradiational terrestrial environment. The interior seemingly becomes the most exterior.

Therme Leo re-imagines the atmospheric environments from terrestrial processes in the context of space and inverts the traditional relationships of light and shadow, thermal gain and rejection, and shading and openness/visibility.

By maximizing the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surface area (MSA), the potentials for both public/private and building/environment interaction are substantially increased. Per a predetermined formal paradigm, the project explores the theme of porosity in the future of urban dwelling.

As an existing formal model, the Menger Sponge exhibited the extreme condition of maximum surface area and zero volume. This suggested that the living condition, daylighting, and ventilation might leverage this hyper exposed condition to achieve the increased modes of interaction.

We pursued this sponge like quality by narrowing the volume and exposed surfaces increase the surface area, creating benefits and opportunities. This strategy created an exterior wall ratio of 3.66 and a floor plan efficiency ranging from 80 to 90% for the residential component of the mixed use project.

To achieve the requisite formal paradigm, the Parti derives its formal techniques from the principles espoused by Safdie's Habitat '67. Beginning with the basic unit module, we explored various methods for increasing our surface area through systematic moves.

An initial duplex condition creates the opportunity to shift the spaces by pushing and pulling the individual unit volumes away from one another. Shearing the levels away from one another added to the amount of exposed surface by revealing additional portions of the roof and ceilings.

Upon aggregation, a perimeter block offered the best option for maintaining the interstitial spaces between the units and the modules while offering views for each unit.

By rotating the units and raking the overall form to create a general north to south sloping aggregation, the views and exposure to sunlight create a programmatic and environmental amenity. The residents receive better units, and the opportunity to captilize on the solar orientation, gains, rejection, and energy production is created.

Creating the Sponge Sculpting the perimeter block articulated the building as more and more of sponge with each iteration. The resulting porosity dissolves the more typical boundaries between neighbors and neighboring bulidings. The increased public and private interaction from the interweaving nature of semi-private and semi-public spaces renders the architectureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s materiality even more important.

We chose titania infused concrete, in addition to the green spaces, as the primary structural material because of its ability to isolate the free radicals in air via exposure to UV light.

Essentially, the building acts as a giant air filter simply by air passing around and through it.

Hergo, by maximizing the surface area, the building/environment interaction is substantially increased, creating a public amenity.

The senior center required ground level access preferably along a street where crossing was made easier for those with mobility limitations. The child care center needed to be removed from direct street access, and, as a result, occurs in between the senior center and fitness center. In this way, there exists the potential for inter-generational congretation between the elderly, youth, and adult populations.

Consequences of the Sponge: Unit + Module Typologies Because of the micro unitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 300 sqf maximum, we opted to keep it at a single story, which presented a circulation opportunity enabling the surrounding communal terrace band to shift inwards. The resulting single loaded corridor and exterior terrace above connect and offer semi-covered exterior garden spaces.

The duplex condition permits natural cross and vertical ventilation via ventilated mullions and localized exhaust points allowing for better control of pollutants. Like a sponge, the architecture has the potential to breathe.

Public + Residential Domains The ground level cedes much of its footprint and level 3 plaza much of its space to the public through increased modes of visual and physical porosity and connectivity. The community garden/commercial zones thus dissolve into the building via the sponge like qualities of the courtyard emulating a coral reef.

The lower level corridor creates an inner circulatory loop that shifts to the exterior where

specific communal programs occur. These perforations in the massing occur where micro units or semi-private/public functions accumulate.

The resultant exposed roof surfaces are bridging vehicles for the more public and the more private areas. Like a reef each space acts as the interstitial space for something else, creating a symbiotic interdependency.

There is an emergening ambivalence between compactness and porosity--the next big question for housing. Sustainability, a large component of this question, is an emerging force which could challenge the 85% rule dominating floor plan efficiency for real estate developers in New York City. It is at odds with the market through building/environmental challenges, but it also is complicit through its preference for density and spatial efficiency. However, sustainability suggests cross and natural ventilation, solar mitigation and/or harnessing, and lower overall energy footprints. Compromise, then, is both necessary and paradoxical.

Within New York City, public amenities cannot be overstated. asthma is the biggest reason for children missing school, storm water runoff is both wasted and overloads the city's sewers, and people increasingly alienate themselves from one another, buildings ought to contribute more. As the physical manifestations of the concepts governing the city, buildings have tremendous potential for both passive and active improvement. Thus, by maximizing the building's surface area, the potentials for both public/private interaction and building/environment interaction are substantially increased on local and urban levels.

After considering the more traditional fortress typology derived from the late 20th century monolithic headquarter typology, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;come-into-visitâ&#x20AC;? approach of a local Tennessee bank created an opportunity for a new type of banking--the slow bank.

The slow bank exists as a new hybrid in the evolution of the financial industry. This suggested a new syntax defined by the hybrid programs aggregating as a result of new modes of banking.

The idea of a hybrid suggests an opportunity for multiple iterations with an acute understanding of their respective modalities and the functions of their occupants.

Shifting forms of public occupation through the bank create opportunities to experience an otherwise clearly demarcated space as a place of conversation in which all parties, bankers and customers alike, shout out to one another. This is the Forum Bank.

A public interface wedges itself into the banking space and up into the various levels of the architecture. An occupation of one zone ultimately results in the shifting and counter-shifting of other programmatic, structural, and formal elements generating the membranes of other banking, public, and hybrid elements. Throughout the architecture, different levels of conversations are suggested per the proportionality of banking modes to public directives.

(Far Right) Perspective Viiew into Forum Space from NW

Occupy Wall Street: No discussion space exists. Consequently, occupation is the only alternative to traditional modes of banking.

Come-into-Visit Approach

Precedent Study The problem with banks today is the inherent lack of communication within the banks themselves, between the banks and their customers, and between the banks and regulatory bodies.

What then have we learned from the Wall St. protests that turned both heads and headlines?

How does the new contemporary bank negotiate and occupiable space with a come-into-visit approach that characterizes a local bank like Capstar Bank in Nashville, Tennessee? Ought we see the circumstance as and either/or or an additive/negotiable one?

The Board Room acts as a COMMUNITY ROOM available to external parties.

Site Analysis: Presence & Occupation Assumptions: 1. The street space is the MOST PUBLIC 2. Following Jane Jacobsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; logic, people filling the street space creates PRESENCE which inflects upon the surrounding buildings.

3. Zoning and land use suggest intended usage types, however, creating points of interest or destinations may OVERRIDE PERCEIVED USAGES.

Observations: 1. Zoning enables user-based programmatic and usage VARIABILITY. 2. SHIFTING and COUNTERSHIFTING of programs resulted in the current land use.

3. Varying degrees of user and passerby PERMEABILITY are both drivers and consequences of shifting local and paradigmatic user populations.

Face to Face The meeting halls and desk meetings illustrate the key to the Forum Bank--face to face conversations.

The lack thereof represents one of the major fallacies of the financial industry. The public ought to invest their time where their money is by becoming better customers in the same way that bankers and financial experts must evolve to the meet the market's demands. Ergo, the Forum Bank reconfigures the building's spatial exchanges and economies of financial form and function.

Improving Bank Infrastructure Level 5 embodies the metronome of the bank--the internal operations and financial oversight functions within the program's architecture--but shares its space with the semi-public/private cafeteria that connects the fourth floor mezzanine with the amphitheater space above it.

Crucial to the bank's urban face are the amphitheater and projection spaces connecting level 5 to the roof and the city beyond. In addition to the ground level's ceding of bank space to the public, the roof becomes the broadcasting arm of the bank by showcasing and inviting passersby to engage in financial discussions at the heart of the Forum Bank.

HYDROPONICS COMMUNITY CENTER

125th St. & 12th Ave., New York Fall 2011 3 Months Yoshiko Sato

DS 1

Hydroponics afford a unique opportunity to grow perpetually using only water and nutrients and without any seasonal interruption. The Hydroponics Community Center attempts to intensify the cultural and urban interaction between West Harlem and Morningside Heights that is defined by the intersection of West 125th St. and Morningside Drive. Drawing inspiration from historical vertical agriculture terracing techniques, the Center collects, filters, and stores rain water to facilitate both perpetual and seasonal vegetables and fruits. The contrast between perpetual and temporal growth is the educational goal of the Community Center.

Formal Evolution through Function Crucial to the garden terraces is appropriate environmental exposure. The viaduct and other significant urban structures to the east suggested this facade be functionally heliophobic and embrace the circulatory connection with the viaduct.. The south and western facades proved to be most appropriate for terraced agriculture on the site because of their exposed conditions. A curvalinear form was more conducive to both the sun path and collection and circulation of water.

Community through Connectivity The Hydroponics Community Center was conceived of as a culinary and cultural bridging vehicle. Various forms of isolation correlated to the streets demarcating a border between two neighborhoods, Morningside Heights and Harlem, along 125th Street. This literal and metaphorical fault line was the impetus for the

simultaneous proactivity and reactivity to its surrounding built and natural environment.

Special consideration was given to how the building could both open up to its neighbors and be carved into by the traffic around and through it on multiple levels--ground, highway, and viaduct.

Conclusions Understanding the idea of food and, furthermore, growing food in an urban context necessitates the translation of a food culture into terms compliant with the realities of the city. Inserting the Hydroponics Community Center along the fault line between Morningside Heights and Harlem at the terminus of 125th St. ensures exposure without a doubt. It does not imply visibility, however. While something may be self evident, it may not be self executing.

Consequently, the Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifeline draws from the opportunities for interaction created by its deployment as a bridging vehicle between the Viaduct and 125th St. While this area of Harlem is not a food desert like some have become, the development of a food, educational, and cultural institution at this intersection would enable access to not only fresh food but also locally grown food. By teaching the public how to be better consumers and/or producers of food, the Center creates a public amenity.

What we can learn from the development of Manhattanville by Columbia University is that residents and/or local businesses (like many of us) do not like to be meddled with. Essentially, then, the Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary goal is to convince the neighborhood that it is investing and contributing to the area rather than taking it over. Only by institlling a sense of ownership in the neighborhood can the Center succeed.

TIZIO STAIR

Queensboro Bridge, NY Fall 2012 3 Weeks Will Laufs

AT3

With the opening of the Louis Kahn's "Four Freedoms Park", and the announcement of Cornell's Tech Campus on Roosevelt Island, it is rapidly becoming a popular spot in New York City. There is currently limited access to the island, and no pedestrian access to the Queensboro Bridge.

The Tizio Stair intervenes into the interstitial space beneath the bridge to address not only circulation but also both sides of the bridge. The base provides south access from the new campus to the stair and lift, ascends to the cafe overlooking the north end of the island, and culminates with an observation deck readdressing the campus and beyond--the East River and southern New York City. The foundation and hinge joints were of particular importance to the project and class goals.

Public Space Proposals for New Gonghua City

Gonghuachen, Beijing, China Studio X - Beijing Exhibition August 3-17, 2013 Jeffrey Johnson

Ex2013

The joint international workshop was challenged with considering the role of public space for New Gonghua City, Beijing. Although many scales of public space have been considered in the master plan phase of this new development, the workshop focused on the public landscape that forms a historical tracing of a Ming Dynasty wall. This historical wall once enclosed a palace for the Emperor as a stopover on trips to the tombs. This space is of vital importance to the district.

The wall and its surroundings perform three public roles: they mark the historical location of the ancient wall and link the existing gate structures with the remaining wall fragments; they provide an identity that links the past with the present and future of New Gonghua City; they provide the primary public space/landscape for the new community, linking it with its surroundings. This public space must enhance the quality of daily life and create a place that can define a community. It should encourage public engagement, generate energy and excitement, promote recreation and leisure, form a symbiotic relationship with nature, and construct a link with the past.

The energies of the six-week workshop were split across three phases: research, site analysis, and propositions.

Working in teams, the students took advantage of their diverse backgrounds, multiple perspectives and unique approaches to generate a multitude of visions and inspirations for the future New Gonghua City. As a starting point, the workshop began by analyzing the proposed master plan submitted by Beijing Technological Business District Development Co. Ltd (TBD). Clear in the planning was the critical role that public space and landscape would play in this new development. Based on the planning and TBDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

ambitions to create an important and vital public space for New Gonghua City, the workshop utilized an experimental method of research and scenario development to produce an array of possible futures for this area.

Resisting the urge to create a unified proposal or master plan, the workshop focused on generating an abundance of ideas that can inspire maximum possibilities. The workshop embraced three strategies, research, redesign, and reframe. Addressing the themes of history and memory, the strategy of reframing generated four potential site conditions: no action, preservation, reconstruction, and new construction/integration. As a catalog of concepts, this diverse collection of ideas can be utilized in the development of the landscape design in the future.

The ideas generated by the workshop offer a multitude of approaches that both reflect the objectives stated above and expand beyond typical and preconceived solutions.

Together, these ideas can inspire new experiences and environments that will define the identities and attitudes of New Gonghua City.

“Humans live short lives, but as a species we have always thought and planned for the distant future...Our ability for abstract thought that can reach beyond the horizons of space and time is perhaps our most remarkable trait. If anything will enable life to endure past the limited lifetime of planets, it will have to be our ability to think.”

--Dimitar Sasselov, The Life of Super-Earths, 2012 For over 2000 years people have traveled exponentially great distances in search of holistic solutions for spiritual and psychological well-being. As transport costs fell and incomes increased, travelers’ interests shifted between Eastern and Western modalities of medical therapy, inspiring alternative treatment methods and diversifying new medical possibilities across Earth.

The next wave of medical tourism may lie well beyond the Earth’s terrestrial surface--in outer space. Based upon Sasselov’s concept that the future of astronomy is biology, the studio explored medical tourism in the next phase of the long history of people traveling in search of better health and well-being.

Spatial Economies and Exchanges: The financial meltdown of 2008, the bailout of the banks, and the occupation of Wall Street has changed the game. These events have changed how we think about banks — can they now change how we design banks? Can they change the very concept of occupation, of how architecture occupies social and urban space, and how society and the city occupy architecture?

Like the health care system, the banking system is now so fundamental and so integral to civil society that it has become a form of civic institution. Banks, from multinationals to credit unions, like other civic institutions, are configured from the top-down as an administrative form of organization but manifest from the bottom-up as engaging in everyday exchanges — at the ATM, at the teller’s window — at the human scale. Just like architecture.

How can new forms of civic architecture be developed to engage these new forms of civic life? Particularly given that architecture today seems divided between buildings developed as top-down large inflected figures and buildings developed bottom-up through small-scale iterative fields.

This very combination and paradox of these identities is given in the studio brief, as your building is both an administrative Headquarters and a neighborhood Branch Bank that seeks to re-configure the bank as a collective entity in the community.

Are there new forms of individual figuration that can emerge within collective fields? The fiscal always become physical in the history of bank architecture. Can these new understandings of global/local economies and exchanges

suggested in these new public programs and landscapes of the Slow Bank reconfigure the building’s spatial exchanges and economies of form? As fiscal citizens, individuals within the collective network of finance, can new civic identities be developed between the space of the consumer and the space of service, between the figure of the individual building and larger collective field of an urban fabric?
