ryterna modul Competition Fall 2015 Team members: Jake Gianni, Juan Gomez, Robert Kish, Sam kissing, Russell Zimmerman, With the emigration of refugees trying to escape tyranny, refugee camps are beginning to form across the western European states. Due to the vast influx of refugees, modular, easily transportable housing structures that can be easily constructed on site are necessary to cope with their vast numbers.

Woven Mobility Fall 2016 Team members: Ryan Craft, Joe Gruzinsky, Robert Kish Our group participated in the Schindler Global award competition, which centered around transforming an existing urban core to promote increased mobility and coexistence of new design ideas.
Our site was located in Vila Leopoldina, a state of Sao Paulo. The site was home to a large commercial market which is to be removed to transform the area into a more residential-friendly zone.

The Future City
Sao Paulo was once a city with a heavy focus on industry, the demand has now shifted to an economy centered around Commercial services. The next phase in the city’s life-cycle will be centered around the pedestrian. Decreasing traffic congestion will help the citizens of Sao Paulo take their city back. Focusing on three different levels of city mobility, we strove to promote more walkability, redefining the existing public transport and using autonomous cars to reduce vehicular traffic on the streets.

The Superblock
When designing the new road network for our redevelopment, we examined the Barcelona superblock, which promotes walkability by reducing vehicle traffic through its core by utilizing slower speed limits and no cross traffic due to implementation of one way streets. Each superblock becomes its own contained urban ecosystem, with their own shops, offices, and residences, helping to reduce need to use transportation for daily errands Superblock Model superblock model
We reduced the Barcelona superblock from a 3x3 grid down to a 2x2 grid to better fit our site.

Misbehaving Tectonics Summer 2015 Adopting the tectonic language of the diagrid, i was tasked with imbuing the spirit of the diagrid through different mediums. With each medium, the form misbehaves more and more, becoming more erratic and chaotic
Paper folding
Using a modified version of the standard X-form folding technique, seen on the left, a base unit was fabricated.
Blue lines are ridge folds Orange lines are valley folds
My main focus with this model was to evoke a strong sense of depth. The subtraction of specific base units acts as a way to create negative space and a more engaging form
Lasercutting
With this iteration I strayed away from one typical unit in favor of eight sub-units that can aggregate indefinitely in all directions. The sub-units were created through the push and pull of strategic points existing in the wireframe of the base paperfolding unit, generating a crystalline form. My largest interest in this iteration is the patterns generated when viewing the form in true elevation.

cage edit
Mirror
3d printing
For this iteration, I pulled a series of connected faces from the lasercut model, and began arraying the faces in a basic geometric pattern in rhino 3d. Using this newly created surface, I implemented the tool cage edit, which allowed me to control the points that made up the surface. Through a series of pushing and pulling, I created a stalactite form, which I then arrayed along the X-axis in order to create a cavernous space. The plinth on which the form rests was created by extracting points from the more extreme fissures and interpolating a surface to flow through it. I then programmed and ran a CNC mill to create the base.
Tectonics Redefined Summer 2015 Using elements of each of the previous tectonic explorations, I created an learning center for the arts, with shared housing included. The lasercut exploration makes up the bulk of the structure, with the push and pull of the 3d print defining how the structure touches the ground and the surrounding tree line

The future Farm Spring 2017 In the age of mixed reality, How will architecture be affected? I proposed how mixed reality will allow for recolonization and dedesertification of regions of the Sahara Desert while still being interconnected with the rest of society.

Farm Size and Family Farms More than 500 million family farms manage the majority of the world’s agricultural land and produce most of the world’s food. More than 90 percent of all farms are run by an individual or a family and rely primarily on family labor. Family farms occupy around 70-80% of all farm land and produce more than 80 percent of the world’s food.

In 88 developing countries with 40% of the world’s population, the problem has become a serious constraint on development in general and agriculture in particular.
Available farmland per capita has been dropping at an alarming rate due to an increase in world population combined with land degradation caused by over farming and erosion. Along with water scarcity, most land is unfit for traditional agricultural farming development. These degraded lands will need to be re-purposed using new farming techniques such as hydroponics to reclaim these wasteland regions.
I am looking at reclaiming the northern coast of the Sahara Desert, which was once a forested region but was deforested by Roman conquest and colonization, removing the forest to make room for farmland which was then over farmed and turned into the desert landscape we know today. With human intervention, this region can be revitalized and returned to initial state.
Using the Mediterranean Sea as a water source, I am proposing pumping and desalinating it by using the saltwater for passive cooling for the hydroponic greenhouses, and using the excess water to begin to re-vegetate the surrounding area. Energy demands will be met by using a combination of solar power and algae ponds for the production of biofuel. Salt will be harvested from the desalination process and be used as an export along with the excess vegetables.

Basement Level The basement level has a small courtyard incorporated for access to light for the interior spaces. This level also includes an evaporation pool for passive cooling and four VR programmatic spaces.
Algae RACEWAY PONDS
Algae is perfect to be used for biofuel. Water will be reused in the greenhouse after the algae is harvested.
Ground Level The Main house is oriented with the southern wind in mind. The east facade has minimal glazing and is shaded by two trees. Main living spaces are located along the northern wall of the dwelling, with southern exposure for natural light. The kitchen is located away from the rest of the living spaces to keep the heat of the kitchen away.
VR Augmented Farmhouse
VR opens up the rest of the world to these farmers, allowing them to connect to places across the world
Second Level Bedrooms are located on the second level where more heat is trapped from the day for the long, cold nights in the desert.
Hydroponic greenhouses
Hydroponics can grown up to ten times the amount of crops in the same amount of land as traditional farming, and requires a fraction of the water
Work
Farmers will be able to remotely monitor farm equipment from the comfort of their home. Along with a heads up display showing general stats in regards to the greenhouses, visual overlays such as thermal imaging will be available to visualize the data.
Educational
The region as a whole is lacking in educational infrastructure. Children in the area have little ability to obtain an education and further themselves intellectually. With a dedicated VR space to education, the farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; children will have the opportunity to expand their minds within a fully fledged digital classroom.
Entertainment
Entertainment and larger social needs are fulfilled through VR. Whether through Online group activities, virtual clubs or on a more individual emphasis through immersive interactive gaming. Another advantage of VR would be the ability to open virtual doors to famous spaces across the world, allowing the family to experience culture from around the world.
Spiritual
Due to the removed nature of this site from society the inhabitants are also removed from a church body and congregation. With VR, the spiritual needs of the users can be met through either holographically projecting themselves into the holy building or joining a fully virtual congregation.
