MULTI- GENERATIONAL HOUSINGSYNERGY HOUSE - IN PROGRESS

“Mean world syndrome,” coined by George Gerbner, is a term to describe a phenomenon whereby violence-related content of mass media makes viewers believe that the world is more dangerous than it actually is and that most people “cannot be trusted” and are “just looking out for themselves.” This phenomenon has distanced neighbors from one another and created a desensitized society.

The integration of the multi-generational housing in the upcoming Gowanus neighborhood will encourage the public to accept the different social groups and break down the social boundary.

The new zoning proposal will focus north of 9th street and will retain the existing zoning below 9th street to preserve some of its previous character. Special manufacturing zoning, M1-5M, will provide joint living and work quarters for existing and future artists, creating patches of artist districts. Commercial and residential zones will be implemented adjacent to these artist districts, and these patches of different personalities will create diverse street activity at each thread, or zoning boundary, encouraging personal interaction between neighbors.

In order to strengthen the development of personal connection between neighbors, all streets north of 9th street within the Gowanus District will be car-free except for emergency vehicle access and limited commercial delivery activities. Bike lanes will replace the existing vehicular lanes to provide healthier and safer ways of transportation. The car-free environment will provide a slow life for residents to pay attention to their surroundings and will encourage a more intimate interaction between neighbors, limiting automobile-pedestrian relationships.

The master plan will create an environment that encourages personal interaction between neighbors, and the program will take this a step further by mixing different social groups with existing neighbors to break down social boundaries and result in a synergy effect, relieving the mean world syndrome. Synergy effect is defined as “the interaction of elements

that when combined produce a total effect that is greater than the sum of the individual effects.” The goal of the project is to activate the canal’s edge and create a diverse living environment to help the public integrate different social groups, breaking down the social barriers between different groups for a more engaged neighborhood life.

REVISED BLOCK: PUSH, PULL, & OPEN

As a social bonding project, the program needs to become a part of the New York neighborhood. New pedestrian bridges will be integrated to connect the disjointed streets and neighboring zones to increase accessibility. The program will extend from the existing building on the site which begins as a version of the typical New York block. The components within the block will then push, pull, and open up to create a circulation route which threads together community spaces on the site.

IN-HOUSE SHARE

The site will contain several public programs placed on the pedestrian level to gain the attention of the wandering public inviting them into the site, encouraging a vibrant street life. While the upper floors of the interior program will stay private and dedicated to residential life, the ground floor provides the public library and will continue the character of neighboring commercial zone. The public library will benefit the needs of both the Synergy House members and the surrounding neighbors as currently there is no existing

neighborhood library. Several commercial spaces servicing shops and cafes will be the part of ground floor. The open plaza space and green spaces will enable people to enjoy a picnic on a nice day, and allow the public to hold events such as farmers markets and events where the community can unite. The canal walkway will encourage social interaction and engage water activities such as canoing and fishing and will provide easy access for water transportation, activating the canal to its full potential.

Three different age groups will be living next to each other and form a micro neighborhood to support each other. To further enhance the multi-generational living experience, a creative director will collaborate with children and senior development directors to assist in residential living and create social programs that engage the residents and the public.

These micro neighborhoods will possess their own “front porch culture” and enhance closer personal relationships.

Each residential space will frame a view of the Brooklyn while letting in maximum light into the space. Natural wood floors warm up the residential space and seamless thresholds in doorways enable seniors to safely travel between spaces. Low shelves and handrails throughout design help the seniors easily explore spaces. Shaded patios provide comfortable private exterior spaces for seniors to enjoy private activities such as reading or gardening. Foster teens also require a level of privacy to develop independence and self-confidence. The four-person units for foster teens provide colorful nooks with raised beds and desks with lockable drawers for teens to have their private space which can also be decorated to their desire.

The community spaces between each micro neighborhood each contain a bean-shaped volume in which social activities occur. The primary bean of the design reaches down to the ground floor inviting the public to visually connect with the residents. Stairs are nestled into the folds of the bean and parts of the floor within the bean are dissolved to allow vertical connections while providing social spaces for the residents on each floor. The openings within the bean filter light down to social spaces, and conversation permeates the space from floor to floor to integrate the residents and encourage bonding between them.

TEA HOUSE ON LEVEE

Located in the southeast of Manhattan, KS, the levee stretches along the Kansas River to protect the city against possible flooding. Currently the levee is a part of the Manhattan Linear Trail, where the public enjoys walking and biking. A portion of the levee was chosen as a site to study and introduce a new program to engage the public to the water’s edge. At a first glance of the site, the existing bridge structure caught my eye and I could feel time slow around it. Upon contemplating on a suitable program for the chosen site, I thought of a Japanese tea house. Historically, drinking tea has been associated with pause and reflection. The tea house was perfect as it shares its similarity in the flow of time, and some consider brewing tea as an art of perfection and contemplation.

Manhattan, KSFifth Year Design StudioAug. ‘15 - Sept. ‘15 — two-week charrette

The design of the Tea House centers on the old bridge structure and extends out to the public and the river. The public plaza provides a path to the Tea House as well as holding potential for public activities such as a farmer’s market and food truck festival. The views framed by the pier cap on the green roof patio reconnects the city and the river that were disconnected by the levee.

The Tea House provides open patio spaces with movable seating on the ground level as well as the garden level. East facing curtain walls of enclosed space open out to the river on a nice day. A path stretches out to the river to allow access to the public. At the end of the path, the dock reaches down and meets with the water to allow people to wet their feet and feel the calming flow.

21

Throughout all of life’s journeys, water is consistently the final destination. Whether it is stopping for a drink of water, arriving at the beach to see the ocean, or coming across a river while taking a hike. It is water which is the source of life, the tea house was designed to incorporate this theme by allowing visitors to stop and reflect at the edge of the water.

WEST RIVERBUSINESS INCUBATOR

The West River Business Incubator intends to bring the energy and work back to its small town. It is located at the intersection of a main highway and Main St, the bottom left corner of the business district in Eureka. The highway provides easier accessibility for visitors and commuting workers from outside of the town to work.

Several rentable office spaces, light wood manufacturing facilities, and shared resources are included in the design to expand on a popular occupation. Outdoor green space and the rentable café for the community to enjoy will energize the district and help to bring the business back in town.

Eureka, KSFourth Year Summer Design StudioMay ‘14 - July ‘14

26

The rentable office wing is located on the North of the site to join the business district while the light wood manufacturing wing is located near the highway to block the traffic noise. The service area includes administrative offices and sharable spaces that connect the office space with the manufacturing space.

More than 50% of the site is designated green space for the community. A green roof balcony overlooks the courtyard located above the active space. PV panels are located on the roof of the office wing to support building energy use.

The corten perforated steel facade overhangs the wood board concrete structure creating a shading device for the offices within. The corten screen ages into its perfection, just as small business starters work their way to success. The green wall, created with reclaimed wood, highlights the building entrance and welcomes the users.

MUSEUM FOR CARL ANDRE

Carl Andre is a minimalist who perceives his sculpture as place. He defines the word “place” as an area within an environment which has been altered in such a way as to make the general environment more conspicuous.

Manhattan, KSThird Year Design StudioApr. ‘14 - May ‘14

36

The site is located at the intersection of 13th Street and 3rd Avenue. The entrance of the design pulls back which creates a transitional pocket between the museum and the sculpture garden. These transitional zones demarcate the beginning of the holistic museum experience. They present pedestrians with the choice of entering directly into the museum proper, or to meander into the sculpture garden.

The Vernacular context is recognized throughout the facade through an emphasis on horizontality.

A vertical core connects public interaction space with galleries and private art support spaces. The core further subdivides the gallery from the art support spaces.

Two double height spaces are implemented in the section of the museum, serving two different experiential purposes. A double height space in the lobby visually connects the street and the sculpture garden, while suggesting the next destination within the building. The second double height space in the gallery is designed to give proper breathing room to one of Carl Andre’s pieces, Al Cloud.

The three primary programmatic zones are alluded to in the facade of the building. The public interaction spaces are enclosed with glass bricks to mitigate street noise, while maintaining a visual connection. Gallery spaces are screened with operable louvers to control light and visibility outward to the city. A perforated metal screen gives privacy to the art support spaces while also providing natural light.
