Cities and urban development

Cities, metropolis, megalopolis, urban sprawl, shrinking cities, etc. Urban world keep on metamorphosing, making more complex its understanding. Balance and unbalance of social, economic, politic, cultural power influence urban shapes and with it, urban way of life. As well as each city dwellers acts in city’s shaping process.Those constantly moving shapes are reflect of our society and spaces of potentialities.Nowadays, it is necessary to look for new way of analysing it to understand those phenomenon. How to developed a city potential considering its singularities?How to preserve, through cultural, historical and social patterns, value and human scale?How to conceive development in a real sustain-able way?

This portfolio explores and critics several urban situations. It raises the question of interpreting and “making” the city, both in school and agency projects.

Research Theoretical approach

ANALYSIS > Darmstadt

> Brakin > Urbino

Darmstadt has been destroyed during the world war II by the North American, it is one of the example of reconstruc-tion in Germany.

Between traditional and progressive ideas, architects and planners invented a lot of theory to re-full this blank slate. In Darmstadt like in other cases, ideologies collided between each other but also with reality.

This master thesis analyses the morphology of the current state of the city, regarding the several proposal made after WW II for reconstruction.

Brakin: fusion citiesSeminar - Master 12009Technische Universität Darmstadt

Brazzaville ( Congo) and Kinshasa (Democratic Repub-lic of Congo) are the nearest two capitals of the world. They’re separated by a natural and political boundary but they share the same history, the same culture, the same languages, etc.

This work is about what this boundary stands for, both as a limit and as an area of intense interactions. There are 11 maps that approach the subject on differ-ent topics: Historical development, crossing border: who? how?

Cartography helps to highlight an immaterial side of urban reality. Print of daily movements between the two cities reveals a moving and immaterialized but active and crowded centre. The in-between area shaped by the river is the place of a huge informal market.

The generic model - the arborescence - tries to describe in a exhaustive way the whole forms of reality. It was think as a classification of elements that makes up the reality using generic terms free from social, cultural or historical connotation. The first level is separated in three branches: anthropological, cultural and physical forms. The last ones stand for elements that can be mapped. The following maps are extracted from this model for the study of Urbino (Italy), to relate these maps give us a new understanding of the territory and its structuring shapes.

City Migration: Redcow Junction

1/2

Issues

Tallaght is the biggest and poorest suburb of Dublin. There you can see clearly the marks of the hard economic situa-tion of Ireland: Huge property project are abandoned, even not finished, never used.Urban sprawl is at the heart of the matter with its issues: mono-functional areas, big industrial and commercial areas, residential area with pavilion typology, lack of city planning, omnipresence of cars and oversized roads, etc.

Approach

3 steps in this works:A big scale analysis of Irish territory leads by an economic axis.A deep site’s analysis regarding balance and unbalance in the local area, developing theoretical tools to multiply ways of looking at the site.The last step consists in drawing an architectural project.

2/2

Consumption of space by the highway as well as the whole communication networks is very important. Al-though the use of networks is a huge part of our everyday life, buildings and spaces dedicated to it are left out, con-sidered as negative element. The traffic node, scar in the landscape is an ideal no man’s land to be used for all functions concerning waves, data storage that did not need a lot of human intervention, and contaminate a lot.

The project focus on the Redcow junction. IT is both the intersection between Dublin’s ring and major highway to South and West Ireland, and the access to the suburb of Tallaght. The idea was to shape a tower which would collect, stock and spread out any kind of flows: digital, optic, cars, etc.

Madcow network’s tower- Stratification of network -panoramic plateform. 33m²

radio station. 350m²automated parking (140 pl.) . 4200m²

data center. 1380m²

The second project, was a footbridge combined with a da-tacenter using wind to cooling down the servers (that have a big amount of CO2 emission)

Workshop - Atelier International du Grand Paris2012collective wolab

City-Hub

Issue

The interchange between Paris and its suburb Bagnolet carried once the dream of being a big tertiary centre. Un-fortunately, it is now an old mall and a unclean eurolines bus station with a lot of residual spaces and disconnec-tions.

Concept

Since few months, terrestrial passenger transportation market is not any more the monopoly of national railway company. The importance of an international/ national bus company is about to growing up. So we decided to focus on the eurolines bus station, to give it value, and recon-nected it to the local site, mixing flows and function and optimise the interchange.

Collagelab: Idea competition2012Post+Capitalist Cities // Work

L’atelier

Today, as a consequence of the capitalism system, the priority is given to a single field implying implantation of both heavy and short-lived structures which consequenc-es generate conglomerate around these pole, create a dependency of the whole, a development of heavy in-frastructures and a negligence about the development of a variety of activities as well as networks of organiza-tions. Consequently to the crisis the offshoring of heavy structures creates inactivity and lack of cohesion with the territory needs. In response to a relocation situation and its impacts on the employment, the project called L’Atelier (Workshop) re-uses footprints left by factories of global firms and re-visits the concept of work, creating another spatial and community organization. It reinterprets the concept of crafts’ workshop recovering some of its founding principles (place of creation, know-how, layout of manufacturing tools and creation in the same place) while giving it a new face thanks to the integration of a collaborative management mode, spaces and resources sharing. We believe in interactions between tertiary, secondary and primary fields that promote balance and production at local scale.

Participative process

Görlitz “Probewohnung”

Issue

Görlitz is a shrinking city of East Germany. Every three house is empty in its city centre. Local policy is to re-vitalize it encouraging people to move in and express themselves about future urban planning.

Concept

Furnished houses are available for free for a week for people who wish to move in and participate at urban plan-ning of the area. A masterplan is designed as a synthesis of all testimony and participation of inhabitants.

Tempelhof: pioneer fields

Issue

2008: the airport Tempelhof closed. The area available for city centre of Berlin is huge. While urban planners are working on its rehabilitation, calling for ideas and projects, a lot of demonstrations runs against the privatization of this space. Tx-büro has won one of the competition with the project of pioneers fields, and the opening of the park to the public.

Concept: Pioneers fields

Areas are defined around the park with thematic of activities, open to received small projects proposed by in-habitants, small entrepreneur and associations. The distribution of thematic around the park has been done following the needs, and already existing infrastruc-tures. The goal was to create a urban catalyst to involve people in the process of building the city, by promoting social, cul-tural, leisure, ecological projects.

Architectural scale

> Final master project: Childhood center

1/2

Collaborators > dir. Studio: Christian Marenne > dir. Project:: Diego Rodriguez

The aim was to design a childhood centre. This projet is a experimental one developed on two axis of analysis as fundament for the sketches:- Childhood and its self-exploration, motivated by ambi-ances, textures and shapes.- a study of atmospheric characteristics of the site to implant the building.

Final master project - project studio2012Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Nantes

Childhood centre

The nursery is considered as a place of self-exploration, first experiments as psycho-motor, sensorial, social and cognitive discovery.

The building is design to offers a large and contrasted range of spaces.

The constructive system combines massiveness of the soil with lightness of steel. It allows diversity of spaces:- closed space, with massive and protective wall.- half open-space encouraging social experiment, allowing multiplicity of activities.- very transparent room to emphasize sensation and link with outside space.
