Forest Park Southeast, St. Louis, Missouri Adrian LuchiniSpring 2013 Degree Project StudioIn Acupuncture, the bodily wellness is dependent on the balanced flow of an energy-like entity called Qi. The city exhibits similar qualities as the body. The project is a surgical and selective intervention into the urban environment to improve the fluidity of movement among people and automobiles, thus generating an area of healing that reaches beyond the building boundaries and extending to the entire neighborhood.

LOCATION: INSTRUCTOR: TIME: CONCEPT:

ACUPUNCTURE POINTS

Several hundred acupuncture points are located along meridians, connecting points across the anatomy which affect a specific organ or other part of the body. Stimulation of these points and the meridian system will rebalancing yin, yang and increase circulation of qi. Acupuncture points are referred to either by their traditional name, or by the name of the meridian on which they are located, followed by a number to indicate what order the point is in on the meridian.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture theory is based on the premise that bodily functions are regulated by the flow of an energy-like entity called qi. Acupuncture aims to correct imbalances in the flow of qi by stimulation of anatomical locations called acupuncture points, which are connected by channels

known as meridians throughout the body. This proposal will use acupuncture as a way of looking at the city as a living organism to identify areas that are sick or worn out. Urban Acupuncture is a surgical and selective intervention into the urban environment that will revitalize an

area and its associated network. The intervention will trigger a positive chain-reaction to enhance the whole system.

The flow of qi in the human body can be compared to the movement of the city inhabitant. People travel between home and activity nodes for work, leisure and institutional purposes every day. The health of a city depends on the fluidity and balance of the flow of its inhabitant. When

this movement is impaired the neighborhood struggles to maintain its vibrancy and livability. This flow is the Urban Qi of a city. The amount of vacancy in a neighborhood is a good indicator of the wellness of the area. High volume of flow through a neighborhood exhibits great potential

in healing the disturbance. Therefore, an area with strong urban qi and high vacancy rate is where the intervention should be located in order to achieve the most effective result of urban acupuncture.

Site : Forest Park Southwest, St. Louis

Like many other areas in St. Louis, Forest Park Southeast neighborhood is populated with countless vacant and abandoned lots, and experienced a 9% population decrease in recent years. However, it embodies great potential for the restoration of Urban Qi. Forest Park

Southeast is conveniently located to major work and transportation nodes, such as Medical Campus and Highways. Urban Acupuncture can be implemented at different scales. The goal of the project is to generate an area of healing that reaches for more than the building site itself and

its immediate surroundings.

Conceptual Composition

The Convenience and Enrichment Center encourages the fluid movement and interaction among commuters and local residents, with continuous circulation path based on the tri-fold frame. The architecture facilitates an intimate relationship between the flow of pedestrians and automobiles. The intervention suggests urban acupuncture at a macro scale. However, the restoration of urban

qi will ripple from streets to neighborhoods to city and to county level.

Villa 31 Neighborhood

Rapid Growth and Informal Architecture

Buenos Aires is a city of sharp social and economic contrast. Behind the glamour of the formal city, large areas of marginal lands are occupied by spontaneous settlement, or the informal inhabitants. Villa 31 is located on vacant railroad and port authority land, in the margins of one

the of most wealthy central district of the city.

Favored by better and cheaper access to transport, public spaces and public services, the size and population of the Villa experienced astonishing growth in the last decade. This is accompanied by informal and unsafe architecture and infrastructure built by the residents.

Regeneration Project aims to address the problems caused by the extreme rapid growth.

Key Solutions

Site MassingBecause of its close proximity to the central district, Villa 31 forms a sharp contrast in scale and materiality to the formal city. While the villa continuous to expand both in footprint and vertically, it is urgently in need of a system that will bridge and filter the extreme discrepancies

between the two forms of settlement.

The Regeneration system will provide the settlement with safe basic infrastructural needs, such as energy and water, while serving as a filter mediating the drastic contrast between the formal and informal city. This will equip the residents with a framework they can use to manage a

more systematic and controlled growth in the future.

System Exploration

The goal is to develop a system that can accommodate the infrastructural need of the key solutions, while keeping it simple and easy to construct and implement in the villa. The system must embrace the self-generating and self-destroying nature of the informal settlement. A

series of explorations were carried out from cutting and manipulating a flat surface to create space.

Site Strategy

The project will be implemented on the edge of the villa, bordering the central district, so it will serve as a filter between the two settlements. The system can be employed along the entire edge, housing different kinds of public and infrastructural facilities. Phase one of the master plan,

including a school, will be located at the southeast corner because of ease of access and best visibility.

Scale of structure responds to the existing settlement, and allows for a nourishing learning environment for the children.

City Scale Analysis - Event Traction

Neighborhood Scale Analysis - View Boundary

This investigation studies the larger context of the site through the sphere of influence event venue nodes have on the city population. The mapping illustrates the concentration and shortage of event spaces. Downtown St. Louis is lacking such traction, a missed oppertunity.

This study investigates the nearby context through the expand and the kind of view one can get at different elevations. Because of the high density in downtown, visual connection is very critical in contextualizing the site and programing building.

Monte Carlo, MonacoHeather Woofter and Igor MarjanovicSpring 2012 - Option StudioMonte Carlo is a suspended city, both in the sense of time and physicality. The design investigates the relationship between an individual and the horizon through the negotiation of submergence and buoyancy. The materiality and indoor climatic phenomena in the architecture conveys a blurred and suspended sensation, similar to the city itself.

Monte Carlo, Monaco

Conceptual Section

Monte Carlo is a suspended city both physically and in the sense of time. Suspension in time (pause in the busy city) is represented in the collage of the cinematic experience in Monte Carlo. The horizon brings peace to the individual in the film. There is a blurred sensation of the horizon created by reflection of the busy city in the water. There are also pockets

of pause and activity within the landscape.

Exploration of the idea that Monte Carlo as a city suspended underwater. What will happen to the citys infrastructure and domesticity when it is suspended?

Interior Pool

The interior pool not only allows water activity when the

weather is not ideal outside, but also it host the different

sauna and steam rooms. The different temperature and

humidity between the rooms and the outside creates the

blurred phenomena.

The heating and cooling system is based on a trombe wall construction. Solar heat trapped between the roof cavities will be used to warm the space. Operable vents on the roof and to the interior allow convictive heat to transfer indoors. Geothermal will be used as a cooling source.

Warm and humid air from the shower and steam rooms will leak between the hot and dry air from the roof and the cool and dry air from the ground, creating a cloud like effect. This phenomenon further reinforces the blurred vision of the horizon.

Water is pulled from the wash and recycled back into the swell with a system of gutters through the building floor. Then water is sprinkled through the building skin network to cool down the interior and allow the growth of air plants on the structure to provide shading.

Mapping of the Bodily Qi

In, Acupuncture, the wellness of the human body is based on the internal flow of energy called Qi. It is delivered by fourteen meridians in the body and their flow can be stimulated by specific pressure points along them. The mapping and study of Qi can be understood as a way to make visible the metaphysical responses of the body as triggered by

physical contact with the environment.
