DESIGN ENERGY FUTURES

6

Slowly, over the last half century, and more rapidly during the last decade, urbanization, climate change, and technological disruption have combined to shape an ever more volatile and unpredictable world. And yet it is a world more interconnected and interdependent than at any time in human history. In this new world, ENERGY has become increasingly important and changes, even small-scale ones, in energy production or consumption, have national, regional, and often global implications.

Under pressure to address contemporary energy concerns, architects and urban designers have begun to develop strategies intended to reduce energy use at all stages of the design process. Sustainability, the most important and well known of these approaches, emphasizes the efficient management of resources and offers dramatic improvements over wasteful past practices. But in today’s volatile, inter-connected and interdependent world, such approaches are insufficient. And that is because sustainability is inherently conservative, focusing on the present rather than on what might exist in the future, on what is rather than on what might be.

Science fiction writer William Gibson rather presciently remarked some years ago about the future that it “is already here, it is just not evenly distributed.” The future, then, is not distinct from the present, but is instead part of a marbled temporality where future and present coexist but do not overlap.

Extrapolating from Gibson’s observation, we could say that the future is the name we give to all that we cannot know in advance, all that is

7

unpredictable and uncertain. The future is real but inaccessible and it shapes all that we are and can become. And it is in the eddies and swirls of this unevenly distributed future, in the vortices of uncertainty and unpredictability, that we find inspiration to DESIGN the solutions required to address the energy challenges we face in the 21st century. Unsatisfied with the present, DESIGN is an inherently future-oriented practice. At its best, DESIGN speculates through an iterative, prototype-driven process to pose and solve problems unanticipated by the problems of the present.

Whether final built designs, or versions produced along the way, all designs are temporary, provisional solutions. We thus give the name FUTURES to these design prototypes—versions and final design alike—as each is not only a solution to an existing problem, but each is also a means by which to interrogate existing problems and formulate unanticipated problems and solutions. FUTURES are thus designs—industrial products, buildings, and urban designs—but they are also provocations that anticipate the unknown, the unpredictable, the future.

DESIGN ENERGY FUTURES names a disposition towards this new world. But it also names a new research and design program at Syracuse Architecture that leads to a Master of Science (MS) in Architecture. Led and coordinated

by Professor Fei Wang, the program focuses on energy and the built environment with research and design projects ranging across many scales, from urban design to high performance buildings, from VR and computational simulation to

material research and product design, and across a range of disciplinary practices.

Students are directed for the duration of the program by faculty actively engaged in externally sponsored research and design projects, and have numerous opportunities for research internships with faculty, affiliated offices, and industry sponsors. The program requires the completion of 30 credit hours, typically over the course of three semesters.

Coursework consists of two required studios paired with a research seminar and a series of electives meant to complement the studios. Applicants holding a professional degree in architecture, landscape architecture, urban design or urban planning are encouraged to apply. Applicants in related disciplines, including management, engineering, geography, graphic and product design many also be admitted at the discretion of the admissions committee in consultation with program administrators.

Rem Koolhaas suggested in his 2014 Venice Biennale catalogue that modernization began to accelerate in 1914 with the onset of the first world war, transforming national identity, and thus national architecture identity, into a Universal Modernism that today, more than 100 years later, can be seen in cities around the world.

Cities, Koolhaas suggests, and the buildings that define them, which in 1914 looked very different from one another, today look very much alike. Koolhaas’s assumption is that modernization begins in the West and quickly colonizes the rest of the world, leaving only “non-architectural” building practices and customs as traces of national architectural identity. That, in fact, is one of the story lines of the 2014 Venice Biennale.

If Koolhaas is right, modernization creates, as it byproduct, a paste of Universal Modernism made from the pulverized remnants of local, regional and national architecture identity, which is spread evenly around the world, pushed even into the most underdeveloped economic crevices, cracks and deformations, to create a uniformly smooth surface. Evidence of this spread has given adherents and antagonists alike reason to believe that global modernization is the completion of a linear process that began in the West and that has smoothed over and re-made the rest of the world in its image and likeness. But Koolhaas is not right.

Modernization is not homogeneous, and it is not linear.

Modernization does not begin in the West, as Koolhaas and many others believe, and spread around the world, transforming difference

11

into sameness. Rather, global modernization is heterogeneous and non-linear and is defined neither by space nor by time, but instead by speed. Global modernization is a humming, churning chaos that operates at different speeds in different zones, quarters, and districts of the city and, indeed, in different cities within different countries all around the world—all at the same time, all simultaneously. Even the paste of Universal Modernism is not uniform and smooth, but is revealed, upon closer inspection, as a fractal urban spread of pockets, bands and swirls, all modernizing unevenly, at a relentless, though uneven, pace.

Nowhere is this more evident than in Xiong’an New Area, which forms the spread of a very different temporality than the one imagined

by Koolhaas and other minor Enlightenment architects, urbanists and theorists. Our contemporary world is more unpredictable, interconnected, and more interdependent than Rem Koolhaas and the minor deities of contemporary Enlightenment thinking ever imagined. And by definition, so too is the city, which architects and urbanists are increasingly called upon to manage and smooth into the paste of Universal Modernism that Koolhaas and others simultaneously loath and love. Dependent on normative master planning and data-driven smart solutions, strategies that are inherently conservative rather than future oriented, our best architects and planners continue to focus on managing the present rather than on speculating about what might exist in the future.

As professionals, they focus on what is rather than on what might

be. Accepting Xiong’an New Area as a spread of global modernization moving at differentiated speed and experienced as a marbleized temporality, the work featured in this catalogue proposes temporary design solutions and provocations that pose problems unanticipated by the present: Each studio presumes to suggest that the city is more important now than ever; each project is thus a speculative aspiration to access the real-but-ultimately-inaccessible temporality that is the future; and each student takes on the responsibility to become a designer and not merely an architect, planner or urbanist.

XIONG’AN, THE CITY FOR THE FUTURE

MS RESEARCH STUDIO 16

Over the past 70 years, China has urbanized and modernized with unprecedented speed and efficiency. In turn, it requires extensive efforts to solve current and future problems related to energy efficiency, transport and congestion, solid waste, and water and air pollution.

Established in April 2017, Xiong’an New Area is located about 100 km southwest of Beijing. Its main function is to serve as a development hub for the Beijing-TianjinHebei (Jing-jin-ji) economic triangle. China will develop this new area in the northern region parallel to the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone in the south and the Shanghai Pudong New Area in the east to serve as another economic engine and advance the coordinated development of the Beijing-TianjinHebei region. Additionally, “noncore” functions of the Chinese capital are expected to migrate here, including offices of some stateowned enterprises, government agencies, and research and development facilities. Xiong’an will spur economic growth and take over Beijing’s noncapital roles.

The establishment of the Xiong’an New Area is a “major historic and strategic choice made by the Communist Party of China Central Committee with President Xi Jinping at the core.” “The decision to set up the new area is a strategy crucial for a millennium to come.” The area features geological advantages, convenient transportation, an excellent ecological environment, ample resources and lots of room for development. It has an initial phase development area of 100 km2, composed of 60 villages. The New Area plans to even-

tually expand to 2000 km2 in the future.

The move will help phase out functions from Beijing that are not related to the capital, explore a new model of optimized development in densely populated areas and restructure the urban layout in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.

Xiong’an is the most ambitious move in 21st Century urban planning with seven major tasks: 1. Building a world-class, green modern and smart new city; 2. Becoming a city with a scenic ecological environment, blue skies, fresh air and clean water; 3. Developing high-end innovative industries as new growth engine; 4. Having quality public services and infrastructure, as well as a new urban management model; 5. Establishing a fast, effective and green transport network; 6. Pushing for structural and institutional reforms to stimulate market vitality expanded to the outside world and becoming a new platform for foreign co-operation.

In fall 2017, Syracuse University School of Architecture MS Research Studio investigated Xiong’an as the city for the future.

Led by Professor Fei Wang, the studio researched modular architecture in the 1960s, new capital cities around world, urban research on Xiong’an New Area, and proposed alternative futures for its development. Students were asked to explore the history and existing conditions of Xiong’an, to discover the systems at various scales, including global, regional, metro-

politan, district, and architectural.

Final proposals were based on students’ understanding of their chosen topics and sites, including Baiyangdian Wetland regeneration, high-tech headquarters, and residential communities for new millennium talents.

Xiong’An is a new state-level district in Hebei, China. Established in April 2017, it is located about 100 km southwest of Beijing, the capital of China. Its primary function is to serve as a development hub for the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (Jing-Jin-Ji) economic triangle. As announced by the government, “non-capital” functions of Beijing are expected to move there. Xiong’An is expected to create a paradigm for China to build environmental-friendly cities.

Through research and analysis in mega-cities, we discovered that there are some common issues, such as environmental issues, traffic congestion, high housing prices, etc. We built an analysis system through three categories: social, environmental, and economical.

System maps helped us reach better understanding of issues on vari-

ous aspects; we discovered that the level of environmental problems is down currently.

Baiyang Wetland, which takes almost one-tenth of the area of Xiong’An, is located in the center of this area, and poses a serious pollution challenge brought about by both drought and floods, and upstream high-pollution plantations in the last century. Our intent is to improve the environment of Baiyang Wetland from a systematic and forward-thinking way.

According to the government, one of the reasons to build a city upon a seriously polluted wetland is to make full use of “Force” mechanism to improve the water environment. In order to return capacity of water storage and self-purification to the original level, we have produced an artificial wetland system consisting of three parts: riverside buffer corridor; artificial semi-wetland pocket park; and prospective urban water channels and ditches.

Each is supposed to include plant vegetation with strong purification ability — used to different water depth (hydrophyte) or humidity (xerophyte) according to their environmental conditions and functions. By balancing water level and quality of this area, residents are provided with more recreational public space and a quality walking and cycling environment.

XIONGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;AN, THE CITY FOR THE FUTURE

NEW THEME LAND

60

China is facing unsustainable population growth, including challenges of food shortage, insufficient educational resources, and safe day-care for children. As Beijing’s new supporting city, Xiong’An must strive to reduce traffic, population explosion, and pollution problems in the near future. All of these things must be carefully considered in new city planning.

The main focus of our project is the new headquarters community in Xiong’An planned for Tencent, one of the largest internet companies in China, as a research prototype. Our intent is to create a new style of living for this new city.

There are many cities in China where youth face a “brain drain.”

People live in the big city under stressful pressure and long working schedules. Talented young workers leave after they earn their money.

The headquarters community provides sufficient facilities and services for all ages that encourage youth to bring their families for a long stay. The project demonstrates a different approach to livable community and new resident relationships—the community has several public theme lands that appeal to millennials,Tencent’s major demographic. The proposal also includes for a more efficient road system, walkability and multiple scales of prototypes. The new living environment will make employees more willing to consider extended stays in Xiong’An.

XIONG’AN, THE CITY FOR THE FUTURE

HIGH-TECH HEADQUARTERS

74

Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (JingJin-Ji) is a geographic area with a population of close to 100 million.

The area is one of the three most burgeoning districts in China and faces serious problems generated by development. Pollution, population boom, disparate development, traffic, public health — all of these challenges should be considered systematically in any design proposal. A system of Jing-Jin-Ji coordinated development will help throughout the establishment of Xiong’an New Area. Energy, environment, economy, industry and talent will all play a key role in Xiong’an’s social development.

Moreover, internet industry, new energy and other emerging industries have been included in the Chinese government’s industrial reform plan. Establishing a hightech industrial base will attract

high-end talents to Xiong’an.

Tencent is China’s largest internet company. Following a people-oriented approach, company leaders avoid interfering in subordinates’ work and encourage a full trial of opportunity. Tencent often allows multiple teams to develop similar products simultaneously.

Most of the company’s employment demand is in Shenzhen even though Beijing has many internet practitioners. Tencent’s regulation strategy includes flat management, decentralization, and an internal entrepreneurial talent market. The company is mainly divided into seven business groups; the IEG and MIG are particularly large. This reflects Tencent’s strategic focus on games and the mobile internet.

Tencent’s WeChat group holds fewer than 1200 people.

Good headquarter design should align well with company structure, management and culture.

We propose a flexible modular strategy more suitable for different enterprises, each module designed to meet the basic needs for different kinds of work. A company could manipulate proportion of the modules.

Aiming to be the city for the future of China, and a model city for the world, Xiong’an New Area is facing challenges of regeneration from small agricultural villages and post-industrial towns.

Collaborating with the Institute of Building Research, Shenzhen, Syracuse Architecture students focused on one post-industrial building and explored its potential as a green building research center with public programs for the city.

Located in the heart of newly planned Xiong’an, this four-story factory building is a common typology in secondary cities across China.

This work was part of Syracuse University School of Architecture spring 2018 fourth-year undergraduate Integrated Studio taught by Professor Fei Wang. Integrated Studio is the culminating undergraduate studio, combining advanced architectural design with technical knowledge acquired during the Building Systems and Structure sequences. Throughout the semester, students participated in a series of Systems and Structure workshops given by faculty and practicing professionals who provided real-world criticism and feedback.

Parallel to technical and curricular requirements, the studio relied heavily on an introductory research component that examined the exceptional historic, political, and economic development of post-industrial sites throughout Xiong’an.

This enabled students to produce speculative urban regeneration projects in response to the needs of new Xiong’an community that could also serve as prototypes for other urban regeneration sites of

similar characteristics.

New development as part of urbanization today is often accompanied by demolition of the existing. Thousands of structures have been demolished in China, leaving behind tremendous cultural loss and enormous environmental challenge from tons of waste. In China, demolition waste is typically sent to a landfill or burning facility. Our project attempts to tackle the long un-resolved issue of waste management. Our intent is to look beyond the simply adaptive reuse approach, and seek a possible new typology for the new capital of China, Xiong’an.

By combining a power plant with the original need to reoccupy a manufacture building as a research facility located in Xiong’an, the proposed building presents itself as a manifestation within the process of the new development and also functions as a transitional model with permanent significance that hopefully could be transferred into the future city design of China. The superposition of components of

the power plant above the existing structure reinforces the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expressive character and begins to attract attention from residents in the region. The open display and framing of the power plant, and its working mechanism, transform the project into a giant showroom that advertises a distinct vision for architectural design and even urban planning.

The system of the power plant is integrated into the mechanical system for everyday use by the research sector of the establishment. The combustion of biomass waste produces residual heat that can be utilized to generate electricity and fulfill the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heating needs. This enables the construct to achieve self-efficient autonomy as a strategy in dealing with the highly volatile context. As a result, the building may have extensive impact on the ever-changing built environment surrounding it.

The incinerator is the combustion area where waste is fed and burned. The produced flue gas passes to the boilers while the residue is discharged from the bottom part of the component.

The superheater is a horizontal or vertical component through which tubes of steam are exposed to the high temperatures of the flue gases and heat is transferred to the steam through convection.

The last part of the boiler is the economizer.

Here the water is heated before passing to the boiler drum and the evaporator, reaching just below boiling point for those pressure properties.

Emergency diesel generates electricity through burning diesel as the backup power source.

The air-cooled condensers are large dry-cooling components that bring the tubes of heated steam through fan-induced cooling air drafts in order to condense it back to water.

The water chiller is the use of water cooling instead of air cooling. In this case the condenser does not cool the hot refrigerant with ambient air, but uses water that is cooled by a cooling tower.

The evaporator vaporizes feed water into steam for further heating through the economizer.

The power transformers are located one step before the power generated in the facility goes to feed the building. It is used to transform electricity in both directions.

The baghouse filter is comprised of metal cages covered by fabric filters that capture fly ash particles.

The flue gas passes from the outside of the fabric bags to the inside, leaving behind all ash particles, which are periodically cleaned by compressed air flowing in the opposite direction.

The condensing unit is another scrubber unit that is used to further cool the flue gases when the plant connects to district heating. Condensing steam to water improves the eďŹ&#x192;ciency of the heat production.

The final step before releasing the clean flue gases to the atmosphere is the induced draft fan, that creates a boosting draft, and the chimney.

The steam turbine generator receives steam from superheaters and sends it to condensers.

Faced with growing development concerns, the Xiong’an Development Plan for China’s capital district must take into consideration its cultural relationship to its proposed context fabric.

This project chooses to look at traditional Chinese courtyard houses and garden (Yuan)— common to the China — as an adaptive reuse response to the expected development of existing buildings.

By inverting the organizational strategy of the Siheyuan homes, a programmatic core is contained within an enveloping greenspace to create an inviting public space

within the building. Housed exclusively in the structural remains of the existing building, this perimeter garden serves as a cultural amenity to symbolically represent the preservation of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s existing fabric, to better serve the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evolution through historical reference.

Adding a dynamic circulatory experience, gardens are reached by navigating catwalks that weave through the structural skeleton.

In a similar vein, the programmatic mass is constructed through a rammed earth, providing a distinct formal, spatial, and structural language sourced from local techniques. Spatially, the mass arranges programs into two distinct compartments, one for a material research laboratory and the other for art studios, to satisfy distinct performance concerns for the specialized programs. In its entirety, the project performs environmentally by completing a thermal mass heating cycle and various passive ventilation effects to regulate interior temperatures. By combining distinct architectural systems that are contextually sourced, this project satisfies rising developmental concerns while presenting itself as a potent cultural intervention.

RE-FRAME

126

Located in Xiong’an, China, this green building strives to effectively clean the environment while inspiring the community to contribute.

On one side of the building, laboratories — traditionally a privatized program — are put on display in a museum-like fashion where patrons can circulate around four labs before being introduced into the product showroom and product salesroom. Green products produced by in-house researchers are made available for immediate purchase. The complementary side of the building is dedicated to the public, servicing an event space and an auditorium to encourage local involvement and foster guidance on going green. The two sides intermittently join together to allow access between the two at related

programmatic points to further blur the line between what is traditionally public and private.

The buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s form derives from the demands of mechanical systems, circulation, and urban intervention. The incline of the superimposed new structure not only allows for the clean collection of rainwater that services the radiant heating system restrooms, but also develops a perspectival welcoming to the building that interrupts the urban fabric to intrigue passersby, while freeing the ground level for purpose of granting additional outdoor space, otherwise lost, but valuable to a green building.

Glazing and textile facades are situated to prevent excess solar heat gain, and reveal the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s structural system and primary circulation, similar to the theme of exposing private program. Inside and out, re-framing the building exposes all of its most valued assets that demonstrate the composition of a polysemic environmentally-friendly building.

The science center focuses on engaging the public and drawing them in. The program consists of an exhibition space, café, store, labs, offices, and classrooms that exist within the structural system of an abandoned factory building in Xiong’an, China. These programs are divided into public and private realms that have varying views between each other. The private spaces are inserted into the existing public space that utilizes the old structure of the factory. The private labs, offices, and classrooms are encased in a steel structure that follows formal logic found in typical Chinese courtyard houses. Floor heights are shifted to allow the inhabitants of the public area to view into the private lab and office spaces. This arrangement increases the importance of circulation in the building; these areas become transitional zones that follow the logic of the existing structure as well as the new structural logic.

The exterior of the building utilizes a wooden cladding system that prevents unwanted glare and solar heat gain in the private spaces. This system responds to orientations as well as the required light necessary for program type.

The wooden system also absorbs CO2 that would be produced from the steel structure of the building.

As for the public space, a window treatment is applied based on the major zones where spaces are overlit. The building also incorporates a system for ventilation, prioritizing the labs requiring more air flow. Heating and cooling are provided by a geothermal system with the aid of a passive system using the open ground floor and operable ceiling in the exhibition space. The roof includes staggered roof terraces benefiting the offices adjacent to them. Solar panels sit on these roof spaces, obtaining light that will be used to power the other systems in the building.

Inspired by Chinese traditional courtyard houses, we wanted to create a central courtyard space that would allow the different programs of the building to share space, all while respecting hierarchies. To achieve this, the floor plates are enveloped by a series of half vaults to create a central public core. This produces overlapping space to help connect the public and private programs while still keeping them separate. These half vaults help to hide the truss systems that were added to the structure of the existing building, creating a sense of structural ambiguity.

Some of the original structure was also removed to make room for the public space. Two bays were added to the back of the lot and one was added to the front as a cantilever.

The half vaults also hide within them the cores for the HVAC, heating and cooling systems. Within the public space, the vaults would act

as a dropped ceiling concealing the overhead systems. While in the remainder of the building, the original concrete structure and systems would be exposed. This further differentiates the public space from the programmed private space.

Programmatically the building is organized from the private at the top to public at the bottom. The first floor consists of the lobby, gift shop and the exhibition spaces. Within the exhibition space, there are two private showrooms for buyers to see the materials up close. The second floor consists of the cafe and rentable office space. The third and fourth floors hold the test and research labs. The fourth floor allows access to the public green space.

The site conditions consist of cold harsh winters with hot summers. With the cold winds in the winter, a sunny wind-protected area would be key for public spaces. The winds are prominently from the north which is why the opening for the public space is facing east. This is also the side that faces the main street. The building should be well insulated and tightly sealed. For efficiency, natural ventilation techniques could be deployed in the public area to reduce but not eliminate air conditioning. The sunlight exposure is most contracted on the southern side of the site. Most of the fenestration will be on the southside, with a shading device to diffuse harsh sunlight in summer. A sunscreen made of heat retaining bricks could be used for shading and reduced heating in the winter.

This project is focused on designing space for building material research facilities and for displaying that work to the public. The large cantilevered truss on the top acts as a clear contrast to the lower blocks set within the old structure.

Similarly, the use of varying levels of transparency supports this contrast.

Within the existing concrete structural frame, individual programmatic blocks house the various testing areas and material research labs. Each block is dedicated to a specific material or task, while maintaining connections through adjacencies with related blocks. This lower part creates closed spaces for research, yet also allows for expansion given the large openings within the existing structure. It also serves to create a distinct character to the more clean and open gallery spaces above. In this upper cantilevered addition, a public showroom and gallery connects the building and the work within it to the surrounding community. A public stair that weaves through the lower research spaces serves to strengthen this connection by allowing moments to view the research spaces. Once the upper floors are reached, occupants are shown the finished products of the research done below.

The upper floors make full use of solar exposure on the open south and east facades, while the cantilever helps shade the labs spaces.

RECYCLING REVOLUTION

154

Free Range Fashion is an architectural project that emulates the idea of total sustainability. The site, located in Xiong’an, China, was once a factory and is being refurbished into an athletic sneaker production and testing facility. To maintain a healthy lifestyle, a healthy environment must be just as accessible. By incorporating passive and natural ventilation strategies along with soft scape features, the building acts as a

breeding ground for sustainable technology along with a sustainable environment. Produced in this building are sneakers made of various plant components, such as corn and cotton, and 3D printed conduits. The in-house assembly allows for in store sales and testing of these products in the running track and kickboxing studio.

Specific programmatic requirements regarding heating and lighting were taken into account when dispersing the various stages of production and use throughout the building. The preservation of the original structure is key in the concept of sustainability. Only slight changes and additions to the structure were added to fit in additional square footage and allow for an atrium to create natural ventilation and allow sunlight. Along the south facing wall of the atrium is a living green wall that is responsible for the maintenance of ventilation in this four storey area. The concept of repurposing to promote the health of the earth and its inhabitants is the nature of Recycling Revolution.

Ventilation Strategy The adaptive reuse of the building splits it in two parts according to program and north/south orientation; this division is done via the atrium. The north face of the building is dedicated to design and production with controlled heating, cooling, and ventilation, while the south end showroom of the building uses a mix of passive strategies including green wall ventilation, trapping/releasing heat via external greenhouses, and controlled mechanical systems.

Structural Strategy The intention of recycling the original building materials. The changes made to structure included minimal demolishment for an atrium to provide natural ventilation. Additionally, an interior/exterior sloped running track wraps the exterior and is linked with light weight steel structural members.
