THE NATURAL PROCESS

INTRODUCING A NEW MATERIAL THAT CAN REPLACE FIRED BRICKS

Bacteria (Sporosarcina Pasteurii) commonly found in wetlands

+ Nutrients including Water, Calcium and Nitrogen and waste materials, placed in a mold

= Grown Brick

TIME TO GROW: 5 DAYS

RESULT

Brick takes 3-5 days of ring to manufacture, BioMason takes the same amount of days to grow. The result is a brick with strength comparable to limestone and marble. It can be manufactured in room temperature, CO2 pollution absorber recyclable and natural (www.biomason.com).

GAMOSO, YSABELLE

In this design, the concept came from the neighborhoods name Sugar Hill. My team imagined Sugar hill as Sugar cube and from there we started working on modular system like hollow cubes as multi use space which can turn into storage space, tables and chair, lights, cafe counter etc.

From this concept we tried to show the power of grid in NYC and how it can be multiply and used in verities of programs. Here the concept proposes multiple variations of layout a restaurant can do, so when customer visit again, they can experience totally different environment in the place.

Eames House and

Studio, is one of the most famous Mid-Century

Modern buildings in Los Angeles. It was designed by its owners, legendary design-ers Charles and Ray Eames, for Arts & Architecturemagazines Case Study House program.

Completed in 1949 along with the adjacent Entenza house (designed by Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen), the Eames property actually contains two adjacent buildings: the two-story house and the matching studio, separated by a small patio. Both buildings are simple boxes that reect the Eames love of industrial design and materials, as well as Ray Eames bold graphic and monochromatic sensibili-ty. They are built of steel frames clad in xed panels made of plaster, wood, and glass, some opaque, some translucent, and some trans-parent. Pops of white and bright primary colors among the beige, black, and gray panels lend a Mondrian-style touch to the faades.

The design is modular, high-lighting its industrial nature, and the structure of the buildings is abundantly

evident. But the houses interior is anything

but rigid and cold.

The structural spine is a site-formed reinforced concrete vercal core, which provides shear capacity. In the cascade, there are reinforced architectural concrete columns with embedded steel-up girders.

Insulated sck built glass fin curtainwall with low-iron glass and low-e coang opmizes energy and allows for maximum transparency. Each of the glass fins is unique.

A network of social and study spaces distributed across oversized landings along an open 14-story staira single, interconnected vercal space that extends from the lobby to the top of the building.

Post-tensioned, reinforced concrete slabs with embedded structural steel, and cobiax void- formers enable the long spans and canlevers of the south facade.

In the cascade, there are reinforced architectural concrete columns with embedded steel-up girders.

WEST SECTION OF BIM MODEL1

The structural spine is a site-formed reinforced concrete vercal core, which provides shear capacity. In the cascade, there are reinforced architectural concrete columns with embedded steel-up girders.

Insulated sck built glass fin curtainwall with low-iron glass and low-e coang opmizes energy and allows for maximum transparency. Each of the glass fins is unique.

A network of social and study spaces distributed across oversized landings along an open 14-story staira single, interconnected vercal space that extends from the lobby to the top of the building.

Post-tensioned, reinforced concrete slabs with embedded structural steel, and cobiax void- formers enable the long spans and canlevers of the south facade.

In the cascade, there are reinforced architectural concrete columns with embedded steel-up girders.

The unique underground architectural marvels called step- wells have been constructed in Gujarat since historical times. These great sub-terranean water structures provided the travelers and their animals with rest, wateland other supplies for their journey on the trade routes. The step-well of Adalaj, built on the main caravan route of Ahmedabad and Patan (the then capital of Gujarat), was commissioned in 1499 AD by Rudabai, the widow of a Rajput noble Vikramsinh Vaghela.

Climbing down facing the well in the interior, a continuous change of scene unfolds. Curbing the inward fall of the walls on both sides are beams stretching across, supported by columns standing between the steps. In the passage space they create a three-dimensional lattice, with the stone floor slabs running across and interrupting light. They create a rhythm of light and shade. Each step of the stairs climbing down strikes the rhythm of walking. This transmits through the entire underground, and along with the rhythm of light and shade, reverberates and spreads.

Upon arrival at the bottom, a square stepped floor descends like a funnel to the bottom-most plane, which is cut out into a circular well. Col-umn and beam, wall and arched openings wind around the square stepped floor, forming a backdrop. The upper part of the well is a vertical space open to the sky. At the four corners of the square are stone beams stretch-ing at 45, forming an octagonal cut out tubular space. This framed con-struction continues across four strata, from top to bottom.

BLING BLING is organized by the existing grid and edge conditions instituted by the Aaron Davis Hall. The Tower is inspired by the existing y tower in theater B (black box theater) -the atrium will serve as the central hub provid-ing the entrance and access to the chain as well as func-tioning as a black box theater itself, making it a custo-maizable/versatile room to serve whatever purpose its occupants need in terms of a forum/gathering/perfor-mance space.

BLING BLING in its conceptual stage was a culmination of our different approaches to the Aaron Davis intervention-- essentially BLING BLING is an attempt on capitalizing on the existing Aaron Davis atrium whilst wrapping a new program around the exterior that ultimately opens up new pathways and special connections.

The building is organized by the existing grid and edge conditions instituted by the structural system in Aaron Davis. The integration of ramps, walkways and amplifying existing points of egress makes for a more cohesive experience while still leaving the building intact. A new tower houses the existing atrium, inspired by the existing fly tower in Theater B, and is what ties our chain together like a pendant hence the name BLING BLING.

Redesigning ManhattanWe made an attempt to re-design Manhattan and give it more urban friendly environment. Main idea

behind the new design is to create friendlier network of public transportation and create to allocate new zones for residential and commercial based on heights and geographic location on Manhattan. We con-

sidered the area before 1811s plan and put new systems and re-shuffled monuments based on different districts. Also we focused on new street patterns, edges of the island, highways, and waterways. We

tried to give pauses in fast pace urban life to make peoples life more interesting rather than a machine.

In this project my partner and I proposed a relief gap between commercial zone and residential zone so people would have some sort of buffer in between. We created this buffer zone as non-vehicular zone,

so pedestrian can easily meander in the area without being hit by the vehicles. We also proposed new street pattern for the residential zone, fused pattern. Fused pattern will direct the traffic from one street to another rather than keeping them on a one single street for a long span. It also helps to create small

pauses where people can come sit and enjoy the lively environment of the city.

Subway station in Buffer zone

After designing Manhattan and, the last project was to counter into the micro scale area that I worked on (project above). I created a piazza in buffer zone. I developed that piazza as retail-commercial and transportation hub underground, and also created a theatrical space on top of the subway

station which served as open air community space, marketplace and also provides performance space. I also designed a path (looks like a valley)

from residential zone to come into subway station to make more intimate experience of transforming pressure. I used various places from the world as references in order to construct the idea; I used streets of Corsica (France)

to create valley style marketplace; I used San Carlo (Rome) and Chand-bori stepwell (India) to create subway station staircase, and to create theatrical

space I referenced Charles V palace of Alhambra.

Stockholm public library

In this project I did analysis of Stockholm public Library's shape, circulation, lighting, function and site by creating different diagrams and solid void models. i found out that there is subtle change is every trasistion from on space to another even though threshold are smoothly blended into each other.

This project I used some design concept of stockholm and created

an intervantion for public to sit in the landscape and see stockholm.

Here I proposed two desing which shows the process of my design

Analyzing Parrish Art Museum, me and my team has to study and analyze the building structure. The main pur-pose of this project is to understand the structure, interior space and landscape. My team studied the basic structur-al design of this building. Other teams like light- program studied about the interior space and how light moves into the build-ing. Site team has to analyze the landscape interaction with the Parrish Art Museum, and at last, Material team analyzed a particular site of the building and did some study about the materials and details about the complex mechanism of the museum.

Theatre on the railProject #3

After doing a project on Parrish Art Museum, next project is to design a museum on the wheels. Long Island is known for its LIRR, so We have to incorporate the train in our project

In this project, I have to create some space which is related to Parrish museum and which can put it on the train. I have to modify two containers of the train, 80 x 10 x 8 ft,

I created containers which can rotate 360 degrees. One container is 70 x 10ft and other is 10 x 10ft. When big container rotates, it creates an extra space which disclose the space underneath the container. I used that nega-tive space and created two courtyard when big container rotates.

When Container rotates 90 degrees. The environment of those two container changes. Before the rotation, it reacts as a normal passenger train, but when it rotates it becomes a theatre and the small container reacts a performing space.

One can use the courtyard which is connected to the small container as a gathering space, where anyone can engage into the performance and take part in it. Other courtyard, which left out, anyone can use that courtyard for observing beautiful landscape of the Long Island.

Project was to analyze Duchamps box and create your own memory box.

By analyzing Duchamps box, I created a memory box which is symbolic representation of how memories are stored in our minds and how do we recollect them. Memory is not static, it never

stays in at one place. Memory is dynamic, and it moves when our minds process. I created a box that can change its shape. When you walk in to that space there are several obstacles that are

going to come across in your way. It represents your memories, like good and bad memories. We have to wait there for the right time to come to cross over that hurdle. Memory stay with you for-ever, some of them get faded and some of them stays there forever. My memory has six dynamic facades which react as a floor and ceiling, depends on which facade is the floor for you. You can jump from one floor to another facade and that facade is your new floor, like you jump from one memory to the other. In short, once you enter in to this space, you cannot exit. Its an Infinite box.

Memory BoxDuchamp - box in valise

Project #1

Duchamp created box in valise. It represents that museums are not static, you can move them.

There is one original piece of Duchamps artwork in a box, and rest of them are his cop-ies of the different artworks.

I found that there is a particular pattern and way to open this box and get to the original artwork which is in the center of the box covered with some of the copies of his artwork.

Duchamp puts his box publicly, so people can experience his artworks by themselves, but he created a restricted path that people has to follow to get to his original artwork.
