Casting Beijing M.Arch Thesis Project Instructor: Carol Moukheiber Casting Beijing is a concrete upcycling factory that creates, transforms, and consumes itself. Reflecting on the current model of planned obsolescence of industrial architecture, the project proposes a circular lifecycle in which buildings are designed to always be in a transient state, capable of adapting to uncertainty and decay.

Re-examining what is casted aside in the course of rapid urban development in Beijing, the city’s architectural evolution is studied through analyzing the typology and materials of buildings demolished since China’s economic reformation. The proposed factory is an experimental model that critics the linear process of construction which brings quick and unrecognized demise to buildings in a fast-growing economy.

While producing alternative construction material near a large-scale development site, the facility is designed to gradually reduce its industrial function and develop as a residential/light industrial production complex. Its transformation echoes the changing demand of its surrounding context, which during the course of construction, will progress from a desolate urban edge to a busy residential neighborhood. Tectonic details will be designed for this process of planned adaptation, supported by the special characteristics of alternative concrete materials produced by the facility itself.

At the end of its lifespan, the building will be consumed by the mechanism it hosts.

Following the fate of every building it devoured, it completes a full lifecycle by being absorbed into a new structure somewhere hundreds of years from now.

a Workshop for the Taste of Earth Sustainable Material Research and Design Instructor: Elisa Silva Agua del Espino is a village in Oaxaca, that’s surrounded by rolling hills. People here depend on the land and the plants it cultivates. But having agriculture as the sole source of income only allows for a limited amount of revenue, and it puts the village at the risk of draught and insect invasion.

Currently, the most profitable alternative is mezcal production. However, it comes with a highly acidic byproduct, called vynaza, which contaminates the land that the locals depend on.

The acidic content of vynaza turns into an advantage in adobe brick construction. The region has a long history of earth architecture, and this liquid mezcal byproduct can be used to replace water in the construction process.

Water is a precious resource in Oaxaca as it suffers from its arid climate. This new method of production can reduce water consumption while improving the structural performance of adobe bricks.

Oaxaca also has a long history of ceramic art. A ceramic studio and a mezcal palenque shares many similar space and facility, and the introduction of an art studio is another way to bring sustainable income to the village.

Program Schedule Diagram

Mezcal production and ceramic work require many similar equipment and materials. A ceramic art studio, sharing the facility with a palenque, can be a momentum to engage the locals in a collective production model and create another line of income.

Built on the foundation of an existing Palenque, the workshop is designed to instigate a dialogue between the two production processes and connect the mezcal workers with the ceramic artists. Local residents, especially women, will have the opportunity to generate income without intensive physical labor.

Ceramic works produced here will give the mezcal a special taste of clay distillation, and unique vessels that elevate its market value.

While solely resorting to local materials, the workshop presents a more sustainable and profitable business model that optimizes the production process and engages women in the workforce.

The Veil Instructor: Maria Denegri Project Partner: Allison Jang An introverted mass lays on the tranquil landscape of Toronto Golden Mile. The unassuming box is lowly carved from the earth and lifted on a cantilevered corner to allow the gentle mounds to slip in. The pathway, illuminated by curved strip lights concealed in the soffit, guides the visitors into an open courtyard at the center of the building. To the North and South of the courtyard are two feature stairs, ascending visitors to what are the two floating pools: a leisurely training pool and an athletic pool.

An introverted building by nature, the mass is entirely cladded with lightweight-concrete panels with little to no indication of the programmatic function inside. But once inside the courtyard the building opens itself up to show the vibrant activities, enabling cross-boundary views and cinematic layering of recreational programs such as the swimming hall, spa, fitness room and community dining hall.

The building manifests as what could be a generic box, an ode to the historic heritage of golden miles. Concealed behind a soft concrete veil, the building sits quietly without a sound.

House of En Undergraduate comprehensive studio Instructor: Andrew Levitt The Japanese character “en”, is a word of paradoxical meaning.

1) Edge or margin. A boundary that surrounds a locus without closing it off.

An edge for inter-penetration between differing terrains.

2) An action that aids a cause in generating an effect. An indirect cause.

An unexpected, curious encounter.

The origin of the word lies in Buddhism, but even in the contemporary Japanese society under heavy western influence, it is deeply rooted in everyday discourse and behavior. When the concept is extended towards architecture, we start to think about an edge as both a boundary and a connection, and to think about a building both as an object of penetration and enclosure.

The spa is composed of a series of transforming edges. As a physical exploration of the complex definition of “En”, the building creates layers of tectonic and programmatic elements, providing its visitors with a constantly transforming spatial sequence.

Parti two paths - one meandering and the other direct - intertwine to create encounters.

Visual Relationship programs are physically separated but visually connected along the path.

Solid and Fluid inspired by the movement of mountain and water, the tectonic contrast between the static and the mobile.

The onsen experience starts with this footbath - a hanging pathway gently touches the water to invite visitors in.

Inside, the visitors are presented with two types of circulation: overlaying and to unwinding. They are two different paces of walking. When walking through the central core, one sees layers of programs overlaid and experiences the sensual changes in a linear manner.

But if he choose to wonder and explore, he will discover quiet gardens and places of repose along the way. The onsen is a space designed for encounters.

PORTA PORTESE Fourth Year Studio Project Instructor: Piper Bernbaum Project Partner: Mahsa Malek Refugees go through unbearable hardship to seek for safe haven. Given todays political climate, as well as cities insufficient capacity to deal with the refugee influx, most of them are unsettled and mistreated even after their arrival in another country. The project aims to help the most vulnerable groups: children who have come here alone, as well as single women or pregnant refugees.

Situated in the dynamic district of Trastevere, Rome, the project provides the refugees a place to stay, to learn, and to become part of the new community they have joined, without having the fear of being mistreated. The project played with the conventional connotation of “wall” as an element of separation, and transformed it into a device of inhabitation and protection. It defines the private and public zones, while functioning as an infrastructural component for the residential buildings. Beside residential programs, the complex also includes medical and mental health facilities, educational facilities, playgrounds, production and market place, as well as a refugee run restaurant to introduce them to the local community.

CONTEXT ANALYSIS

The city fabric of Rome is temporally and culturally layered.

Through documenting and analyzing the urban typologies in our adjacent context, we developed an understanding of how to connect our master plan with the existing fabric and establish an open yet secure relationship between the locals and the immigrants.

CENTRAL PIAZZA

There are two major areas on site: the protected residential zone and the activated public realm. The residential building offsets the existing Aurelian wall, creating a garden area for the refugee residents with controlled access. On the other side of the residential wall, buildings hosting public programs define and activate the piazzas.

As physical voids, the piazzas are programmatically filled through active edges.

TRANCAS Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects private residential Trancas is a private residential project located in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles. It is commissioned to the architect after the previous house on site was burnt down by wildfire.

The house follows the principle of structural and material honesty. The concrete exterior offers both structural support and fire protection. Once stepped inside, one would be enveloped by soft wood slats that creates a quiet and warm interior. It is designed according to the client’s demand for an acoustically sensitive environment.

The house’s simple composition invites nature inside through light and view.

Cubic skylights pop up on the roof, capturing slivers of sky that lights up the grey concrete walls.

During the four months internship, I played an active role in the design team and contributed to the project’s formal development, facade design, and interior material study.

TECHNAL PAVILION Kengo Kuma & Associates exhibition pavilion Technal is one of the largest window frame producer in France. For an architectural product biennale, we were asked to design a Technal pavilion which exhibits their products and provides spaces for meetings and presentations.

Inspired by the intricate balance and modularity of tensegrity structure, we created an amorphous space which attracts and shelters the visitors while promoting the company’s outstanding aluminum products. As the modules reach downward to the floor, they also decrease in size to emphasize on the weightless and airy quality of tensegrity structure. The modules are composed into a series of interconnected domes, and visitors are invited to explore the space at their own pace while going through different functional zones.

I participated the project from the initial stage, and contributed in conceptual design and design development. My major responsibilities include structural background researching, digital model building, physical model building and material calculation.

MARNE EUROPE Kengo Kuma & Associates winning competition Located on the outskirt of the city of Paris, Marne is developing a large scale residential and office complex framed by a hotel-congress center and a metro station on two ends. The project is a collaboration between seven international architecture and landscape offices. During the design process, KKAA played a leading role in the master planning and was responsible for designing the hotelcongress center.

The project centered on exploring new possibilities of eco-city. The wood structured hotel tower is enclosed in a double-skin facade which maximizes the building’s energy efficiency. The auditorium is embedded underground and creates a gentle ramp above for public activities. The ground piazza of the hotel-congress center links with the metropolitan garden, and lead the public up to a view point looking back towards the center of Paris.

I participated in the project from its initial conceptual phase, and contributed in structural development, program distribution and was the main designer of the auditorium interior.

SWIMMING PAVILION Alison Brooks Architects private commision In the fall of 2015, I worked for Alison Brooks Architects in London, UK. During my time in the office, I worked mainly on a private swimming pool pavilion in Gloucestershire, England.

The design of the pavilion is inspired by concepts of “aperture” and “perspective”.

The building creates focal points of light and view through folding a geometric shape. It is a sculptural element sitting in a vast green field, and has an elegant, sharp exterior and a warm, relaxing interior space.

I was introduced to the project at its final design stage. So during my work period, I helped design the interior layout and materiality of the pool pavilion, produced a detailed digital model and a completely hand-made physical model.

Later on, I worked on various aspects of the construction drawing set, including general arrangement drawings, plan/ section details, window/door schedule etc.
