WHY A FASHION CENTER?The concept of fashion is all

around us. The term is use closely with the garment construction. But, as we live Art, as we live Architec-ture, we also live Fashion. Fashion is the new trend, what is in or out. The way we dress, eat, shop, new technology and building sustain-

able structure is fashion. Yes, there is trend that we all follow

subconsciously. There is no such thing as not being Fashionable, you wearing what you wear or

doing what you do or buying that thing that you think is so cool or thinking of new ways to be green is in because is being done by you at the moment. Fashion represent

change over the years for what that environment,resources,culture and social context is giving us. How

people dress in New York is not the same as in London just as in Chi-

nese Architecture is not the same as in North America. It keep us update with what is around us. A Fashion Center for all different type of de-signers will educated the world of the new trend and how our future will involve. It will have a fl exible changeable shell that represent the

trend of the time.

There will be two type of buildings, the Convectional building and the Tent. The Convectional building

hosts the restaurant, offi ces, work-shop/studio and gallery spaces.

The Tent building is temporary as it has an accordian structure that opens up when in use and closes up when is not in need making

more open space on the pier. The Tent hosts the multi-purpose room, showrooms, mini-cafe and back of

the house.

program analysisHOSTING THE FASHION

WEEKThe semi-annual New York Fash-

ion Week, branded Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in 2009, is held in February and September of each year in New York City. It is one

of four major fashion weeks held around the world (along with those in Paris, London, and Milan).The fi rst New York Fashion Week was the world’s fi rst organized fashion week. Held in 1943, the event was designed to attract attention away from French fashion during World

War II, when fashion industry insid-ers were unable to travel to Paris to see French fashion shows. Fashion

publicist Eleanor Lambert organized an event to showcase American designers for fashion journalists,

who had previously neglected their innovations.

In 1994, the event was moved to its current site in Bryant Park, where it is held inside a series of large white tents in the almost-block-long park.

Due to increasing pressure from Bryant Park management, Mer-

cedes-Benz Fashion Week will be hosted in Damrosch Park at the Lin-coln Center for the Performing Arts for the fi rst time starting in Septem-ber 2010. -Because of the recession affecting most of the world, design-

ers were stepping outside of the box for fall 2009. In previous years, fashion houses would be expecting costs up to $750,000 to produce a quality runway show. Beginning

in February 2009, many designers opted out of their usual Bryant Park tent fashion shows because of the current economy and held smaller

presentations.

THE SOLAR ROOF POD @ WASHINGTON DC

Coordinated the Dunnage Garden (landscape) part of the Solar Roof Pod for Solar Decathlon 2011.

Team New York proposed the Solar Roof pod. The Solar Roof pod has three separate layers that can function sepa-rately as well as together. The three layers, from top to bottom, are the trellis, the pod and the dunnage garden.

The Dunnage Garden is a modular green roof pad that retrofi ts on top of any existing roof . The dunnage garden fl oats on the existing roof without disrupting the exist-ing structure. The modular pieces can be transported up through an elevator.

The green roof works as an insulation, reducing sound which is good for residential housing, lowering urban air temperature, combating heat island effect and reducing carbon emission.

The Dunnage Garden collects storm water on the roof. The storm water goes down through the mechanical room to open water tanks and from there feeds the garden through an irrigation system.

The green roof provides biodiversity, where animals can eat as they are migrating. It will also provide the habitant with edible plants.

The NYC building code states that only 20% of combus-tible material can be on the building rooftop. Therefore, the modules were made out of light gauge steel (exclud-ing the ramp). The 20% of combustible material would be the planter boxes.

Students built the railing post for the ramp and porches.

The Urban Middle School has two arms (on the x and y axis) that connects the public school and Gatehouse. The third arm is vertical (on the z axis) and its what holds the classrooms.

The arm that connects to the Public School is the green strip. The Green Strip brings in the public from Amsterdam Ave provinding a green area where people can play dominoes and chess or wait for the children to come out of school.

The arm that connects the Gate House is the Blue Strip. The Blue Strip is a lake that educated the students what is the Gatehouse about and also about nature and the environment.

The Yellow Strip is what holds the Classrooms. Giving the student a circular environment to interact and learn. It brings in the light for the student to play with it. The Yellow Strip ties the School, The Glass Box (Cafeteria), The Blue Strip and Green Strip together.urba

Programs: Retail Stores, Gym and Pool Area, Studio, Two Bedroom Apartmant, Three Bedroom Apartment, Lobby

The Harlem Housing brings in 125th Street by setting back and providing Retail Stores on the Convent Ave level. On the Am-

sterdam level there is a public Gym and Pool.The form of the building derived from the fabric and typograph-

ic slopes of the site. The building sets back making a public outdoor porch for the residences at each level.

The Two and Three Bedroom Apartment are two fl oor each. The fi rst fl oor has the semi-private programs like Living room, Kitchen and Bathroom. The second fl oor has the more private

programs like the Bedrooms.The Lobby is two stories high.

The North facade is a curtain wall with glass sliding door to access the porch. It provide the residence with the northern

sunlight. The South facade is strip windows facing the existing buildings giving residences limited views. It protects the resi-

dences from the southern light. The strip windows is also on the East and West Facade.

Room

The concept of the Roof Pavilion consists of the main box contracting (both in elvation and plan) to adapt to

the roof space. The main space is the living room that is located at

the center of the roof. The habitant can manipulate the living room space in any way they desire. In the sum-mer time, the habitant can open the glass sliding doors from three sides to enjoy the outdoors. They can also go upstairs and lay back on the sloped green roof to

look at the stars. A glass box in the Big Box is the vertical circulation. As the box contracts it creates the kitchen area, the

restroom and the mechanical room.The Restroom roof is sloped for storm water collection and the water collected can be used to fl ush the toilet.The solar panels are on top of the mechanical room

which provides the power for the pavilion.The pavilion is ADA. There is a connection from the

elevator to the roof. A 1:12 slope ramp takes you to the outdoor space.

There is also an outdoor area that is a level higher than the Pavilion itself. At this area, the habitant can take

advantage of the views.

The massing of the building plays an important role in the structure of the model. When the guests walk in the building they experience a theatrical moment because each level foretells what will be seen in the next fl oor, like in plays. The model contains

four fl oors. In the fi rst fl oor there is a BLACK BOX placed in the middle. In the

black box dances, plays and pratices take place.

The second fl oor becomes the back of the house where the admisnistrating offi ces are found, actors get dressed

and etc. The third fl oor is the POSCEDIUM THEATER where dances, presenta-tions, and fashion shows take place.

There is also a two story gallery there. For which it connects to the

fourth fl oor.The fourth fl oor is the THEATER OF THE ROUND. Acting, classes,sports, ping pong, checkers and other simil-

iar activities take place. The roof contains the AMPHITHE-ATER where lectures and concerts

take place.

STUDY MODELS

Elements of the bridge is bought into the building by the massive grid structure that is exposed on the facade. This is incorporated by the

thick square columns. The building is also, adjacent with the bridge and it is stepped backed from the sidewalk. The facade’s cutouts dif-

fer depending on the private and public space with in the building. On the southern-east and southern-west facade’s windows have a shading system. Right above those facades there are solar panels on the perim-eter of the building’s roof. The northern-east and northern-west facade

has a curtain wall to take more advatages of the view like it doesn’t have to worry on sun penetration.

When looking upwards within each fl oor, there is a cut out that allow light into the rooms, in addition, giving guests a hint of the theater

above. There is a staircase that wraps all around the building. The guests can travel through the stairs from fl oor to fl oor and they can take advad-tage of the different views(the Brooklyn view, the city view, and the

park and waterfront view) until they get to the top of the building and a view connects the guest to the bridge.

Architect: Andrea Palladio

Period: Italian Renaissance

Location: Vicenza (Northern Italy)

Patron: Commissioned in 1580 - inau-gurated March 3, 1584

Palladio used the vitruvian man as a measurement to construct the propor-tions of the Teatro Olimpico which

was a tool utilized in classical period. He made a permanent back drop of the

theater for the play Oedipus and the backdrop is a perspective of the city. The perspective points are placed on

points of the vitruvian man.

Concept: Half of the model is a replica of the Teatro Olimpico and the other

half demonstrates how he incorporated the vitruvian man to the design. The di-vine golden section is used throughout

the facade to portray hierarchy.

The occupant participates in an event as it travels

through generic forms. The site frames a space be-

tween the three historical buildings. The new build-ing creates a oublic plaza

by uniting architecture and landscape from the exist-ing elements of the build-ings. Spaces are defi ned

by the surfaces that shape them. This leads to a close

analysis on geometric fi gures within the existing buildings (the spaces with-in the new building are to become performative and specifi c within the con-

text now). New forms are created from analysis and trapped into two surfaces to create landscape/public

plaza above and below. Each form corresponds to

a specifi c program.

The model has a canti-lever design, projecting the building into nature

and minimizing the build-ing’s footprint. A strong

architectural identity was achieved through the

minimal impact on the landscape. The building is energy effi cient due

to its solar panels. Light can still come in and pass through the pattern of the solar panels. The design also creates an aesthetic

look, making the building more appreciative.

Took aspect of the windows from the president study of Von Sternberg House

and incorporated it into the model. The element of the window was to applied to

the model but the windows were scaled to a bigger size, to the size of doors. Light

going through the wall studs was solidifi ed, creating a

system that connects the so-lidifi ed light from window to window. The solidifi ed

light create spaces between the connections of windows to windows. These spaces are different from how the unsolidifi ed light is con-

ceived.

The compression and release concept is portrayed by

presenting points within the model that are tight ( or con-stricted) and free (or loose).

The center of the model shows compressed points

where a person is forced to be in a standing position,

then a sitting position, and then a laying down position.

The outside of the model shows the free (or release) points where a person has

the freedom to sit, stand and lay how they want to. On the top of the model the person

has the freedom to sit, on the right side they have the free-dom to lay down and on the left side they have the free-dom to walk on the top of

the model. The same sticks used in the model are used

to create the compressed and free spaces.

The dense masses of SOLIDS go along a path of TRANSITION AND TRANS-

FORM into LIQ-UID.

The masses of sol-ids are tied to one another enabling them to support

themselves above the ground.

When the com-pacted solids go

through the path it begins to untie into individual modules. They loose their ini-tial weight and are not heavy enough to support them-selves above the ground; therefore they become more absorbent causing them to soak into

the ground.
