TEMPORARY-PERMANENT: A THESIS

A contradiction: there is an innate desire for permanence in our place of dwelling, but a exible building is more sustainable, more pro table and more capable of producing new social conditions. If we acknowledge that our perceptions of change are only relative and fragmentary, we can more exibly attribute permanence to an urban artifact, the building. By strategically keeping some parts static relative to the subject, they will be perceived as permanent, and we can introduce true exibility into the rest of the building, anticipating changing occupation over time.

Permanence is perceived by connecting memory to place. Spatial characteristics like mass, stability of horizon, symmetry and opacity increase this remembered permanence; fragmentation, instability and lightness suggest the temporary. The temporary-permanent building balances its expression between the two poles, using an understanding of the potential relative time frames of perception to guide which parts might be more or less exible.

Because memory operates as a collection of fragments, the building proposes a series of linked nodes - moments open to the attribution of memory - that are dispersed along a public path. These permanent moments are expressed as massive concrete shells that enclose nothing but air: a void into which the visitor projects his memories.

The prototype as formed by nodes was then tested on two adjacent sites. A 75-acre area of Washington DC, immediately south of the US Capitol, has been recon gured to reconnect a dense residential neighborhood with a blocky, massive offi ce building district. The temporary-permanent building can work at both scales and accommodate both building types. Through recon gurable units and a common relationship between nodes of program and a public path, the prototype remains intact. The spaces between the nodes are in lled by small units of program - either housing or offi ce space.

While the Eastern Building is predominantly housing and hotel units, the Western Building abuts the SW Federal District. A complex multi-use building takes offi ce space as the main program but around each node, connected by public path, are institutional and cultural hubs. In this con guration of the prototype, the Voids are inhabitable as exterior balcony spaces or entry points to the Building.

The structural system of the building is condensed into 9 x 9 cores, which support the larger oor slabs and contain materially permanent infrastructures: toilets, sinks, cooling and heating elements, elevators, etc. These xed pieces are consolidated to miniature cores so that the layout can more easily change around these islands of xed use. The permanent voids and the miniature cores aggregate to produce a node-based structuring system for the building, which can then be con gured to accommodate almost any site or program.

HOME - FOR - ALL The goal of the Home-for-All is to create an architectural catalyst to revive the urban downtown of Kamaishi. In order to revitalize this city, the downtown needs an inspiring new center from which the community can initiate urban revitalization. Our Home-for-All is located at the intersection of Kamaishis two main commercial axes. This enables it to re-center the city and by catalyzing activity, spread regeneration throughout the downtown.

The Home-for-All can attract and accommodate a variety of diff erent types of activity. By bringing together a broad collection of Kamaishis residents, it can foster new connections and become a starting point for Kamaishis regrowth.

A exible architectural system will compose the Home-for-All; through the simple off ering of a community space, the people of Kamaishi will be encouraged to leave their temporary homes and come back to the city.

The basic architectural element - something between a column and wall - acts like a tree, attracting people through simple surface programming. The adjacency of a table, a bench, or a shelf invites people to relax as they lean against the wall, gather around a table and eat, and read while still connected to neighbors. A collection of these forms an open space that is loosely de ned by diff erent activities around and between nodes, allowing various activities to occur in the same place, sometimes simultaneously, sometimes at diff erent times. The system is simply composed of a set of minimally designed horizontal surfaces easily put into a vertical wall, inviting the user to create his or her own desired space.

The Home-for-All will also provide a space for shop owners and entrepreneurs to establish their businesses. As the Home-for-All aids in the commercial revitalization of the downtown, its progress is tracked on the entrance wall to the shop. The Home-for-All will spread its identity by integrating its basic elements (column-walls and deck) into the urban environment. Over time, the home-for-all transforms from a single beacon and gathering point to an element within the forest of a larger system, a regenerated city.

Column-Wall

Trees off er a recognizable landmark to meet a friend, a shaded place to relax, provide a good backrest when reading a book, or be a pleasant space for a picnic. Similarly, the basic architectural element - something between a column and wall - can attract people through simple surface programming. The adjacency of a table, a bench, or a shelf invites people to relax as they lean against the wall, gather around a table and eat, and read while still connected to neighbors. The goal is an open space that is loosely de ned by diff erent activities around and between nodes.

Column-Wall Assembly

The articulation of the column-wall can de ne space as both a column-like node (unifying) and as a wall, seaming between two separate activities. The goal is to activate space by allowing various activities to occur in the same place, sometimes simultaneously, sometimes at diff erent times. The system is simply composed of a set of minimally designed horizontal surfaces easily put into a vertical wall, inviting the user to create his or her own desired space.

Urban Strategy

The Home-for-All will also provide a space for shop owners and entrepreneurs to establish their businesses. As the Home-for-All aids in the commercial revitalization of the downtown, its progress is tracked on the entrance wall to the shop. The Home-for-All will spread its identity by integrating its basic elements (column-walls and deck) into the urban environment, further catalyzing commercial and social revitalization. Over time, the home-for-all transforms from a single beacon and gathering point to an element within the forest of a larger system, a regenerated urban environment.

TEMPORARY HOUSING SYSTEM

PUNJAB, PAKISTANHARVARD GRADUATE SCHOOL OF DESIGNCRITIC / TOSHIKO MORIFALL 2011 / 12 WEEKS

In 2010, Pakistan was devastated by ooding in its agricultural Indus valley. Nearly 20 million people were aff ected, and many were displaced from their homes for months at a time. Many of the families aff ected lost all their accumulated wealth because their homes, possessions and crops were destroyed by the rising waters.

This project proposes two systems: First, a minimal concrete foundation that is a landmark to which families can return after oodwaters recede. This addresses issues of land tenure and ease of rebuilding. Second, a woven system can be used exibly as furniture, possession transport and protection, temporary shelter or part of a permanent shelter. This woven system can be constructed at diff erent scales for diff erent uses and its technique is grounded in the local Pakistani means of making rope beds, known as charpoy.

The charpoy rope bed is a piece of furniture that is owned by many families in the parts of Punjab and Sindh provinces. Charpoy are used as a surface for sleeping, eating, and gathering, and are made using few resources. To transform the charpoy into something more broadly functional, I removed the legs, made it square for ease of proliferation in multiple directions, and used the inherent tension in the diagonal weave to give 3d rigidity by introducing a doubly-curved surface. The curvature allows the modules to span longer distances and gives the surface strings more ability to take lateral and gravity loads when connected.

The system can function at the scale of a piece of furniture or be used as a building component, enclosure or substrate. The module can be recon gured using simple sticks or short bamboo pieces as attachment.

The system can function at the scale of a piece of furniture and be stored or used as a building component, enclosure or substrate during times where there are not oodwaters. When a ood comes, the module can be recon gured using simple sticks or short bamboo pieces as attachment. It can be waterproofed through secondary and tertiary weavings and used as temporary shelter when con gured diff erently.

The System can be deployed at multiple scales and in diff erent numbers to give it a maximum exibility of con gurations and uses. At the small scale it can be used to transport water, lter water and dry clothes. It can also be used as a small bed or to transport smaller posessions. At a larger scale, 2 meters on each side, a module of 3 pieces can be con gured as a oat, a storage unit, or diff erent one-person shelters. When combined with other modules it can be used to shelter more people, such as a family. The possibilities for aggregation are only limited by the availability of people in the family to carry these light structures.

The module, at any scale, can be clad to create temporary shelter and structure. In addition, the clad module or unclad surface can serve as a substrate for other, more permanent, materials such as mud, straw, waterproof fabrics or even concrete. In this way, the system is exible in its material identity and its outward expression. It can be personalized so that any settlement built using the system does not appear uniform or generic.

PROJECTSBUILDINGS DESIGNED IN RELATION TO THEIR CONTEXT

URBAN PERFORMING ARTS CENTER

The proposed project is a new performing arts center for Dance, Music and Drama in Bostons North End. I question the need for a traditional performing arts center - the cultural climate in Boston is more dynamic in smaller, dispersed community arts organizations. Therefore, the building was conceived as a collection of smaller, independent entities.

A competing consideration was the waterfront site, which seems to require a more dramatic statement that would add to the skyline. In order to achieve this while maintaining the fractured, individuated community reading from up-close, the buildings organization takes advantage of the idea that we can perceive an organized collection of parts as a whole from afar.

The building negotiates this dual identity through structural and material choices that can have diff erent readings at diff erent distances. The collection of diff erent yet speci c facilities for a variety of types of performing arts functions both as a community of individual parts and, at the scale of the city, as a uni ed building.

In order to include multiple discrete programmatic entities in a single building, the adjacencies must be carefully calibrated to ensure that the backstage and kitchen have access to the loading dock, the theaters have adequate lobby space and the school has an independent entrance off the street or lobby.

The negotiation of the adjacencies and the response to the sites orientation with respect to the water, street and park fronts drove the placement of the program within the building.

INFILL HOUSES

The 7-6-wide gap between two existing houses in Somerville, MA is the given site for an architectural intervention. The program of an artists live-work space and gallery is accommodated in this sliver of space.

The traditional relationship of public and private space in the abutting homes is inverted in the intervention. The private space has more interior subdivision and heavier materials, and therefore has greater compressive structural capacity. The public space, normally on the ground oor, is more open and uid, and therefore can be hung off a structural frame using lighter tension members.

SHEY, LADAKH, INDIABASIC INITIATIVETEAM PROJECT WITH 35 OTHER STUDENTSSUMMER 2010 / 4 WEEKS

In July 2010, I traveled with a group of architecture stu-dents to Leh, a city in Northern India (Ladakh region) near the Tibetan border. There, we worked with the students and faculty at the Druk White Lotus School to design a new visitors center for the campus. The cam-pus and its existing buildings were designed by ARUP in 1998-2002 as a triple-net-zero energy project. The school opened in 2002, and since then has educated K-8 students, some of whom live on campus.

The Ladakh region is very remote and has limited resources. Additionally, Leh and the school are located at 12,000 feet above sea level and the regions harsh climate includes winter temperatures of -30 F and an average of less than 3 inches of rain annually. These factors in uenced our design, which relied heavily on traditional Ladakhi building techniques and the use of local materials. The visitors center is oriented on the existing axis of the campus, which orients heavy walls toward the North to combat the harsh winter climate.

One of my responsibilities was researching and implementing traditional scaff olding techniques to allow us to continue working on the higher levels of the building.

We broke up the massing of the building by intro-ducing a break in the roof height, a design move that necessitated the use of heavy pine timber from Kashmir; most of the locally available timber is smaller poplar and willow. The lack of local wood and the need for greater insulation also prompted our decision to use traditional mud-brick construction, which is then stabilized by a poured-in-place concrete ring beam. The stabilizing reinforced concrete is necessary because Leh is in a Level 5 (highest) seismic risk zone.

Ultimately the design was constrained by the avail-ability of local materials, but we were able to most directly control the ways in which light entered the space. By introducing a wash window and wall on the Southwest corner and four skylights in the roof, we achieved a diff use lighting condition that is ideal for the spaces gallery function. We also designed and fabricated a wooden built-in shelving unit that serves as storage for employee valuables and for the tea-service equipment integral to the Ladakhi customs of hospitality.

The diff use interior lighting was primarily achieved through skylights. The skylights had to be fabricated and placed at the level of the insulating mud and grass in the roof. They were then covered with recycled acrylic sheets.

This project was a preparatory exercise for the design of a rare books library. The brief called for the organization, via module, of a system of 11 carrels, 10,000 linear feet of books and systems of circulation. My response was an inversion of the typical relationship between carrel and facade, and an examination of the consequences of this recon guration. The embrasures connecting facade to carrel are for the lighting and privacy of the carrel and are a sign on both interior and exterior of the varying sizes of the carrel spaces. The books are conceived of as a thickened poch.

Given the paradigmatic spatial arrangements of the Jordan Curve and the Klein Bottle, I created an abstract space that is de ned by a singular, continuous mobius surface. The surface is enclosed at certain points to create a loosely de ned interior, and becomes tangent to a designed landscape to enable entry and exit.

Given codes derived from an earlier group design, I propsed this train station as a neighborhood center and a transit hub serving the LIRR and MTA 7 Trains. The Station acts as porous lter in the east-west direction, allowing for multiple crossing points and gathering points along its length. It stitches the site together by asserting its presence as a continuous seam between the two neighborhoods.

At the mezzanine level, the station acts as a bridge, providing multiple continuous paths between Citi Field and USTC/Corona Park. These varying connections allow for exible crowd accommodation and their diff erent lengths and orientations dictate diff erent speeds of movement.

The megastructural form of the station is broken up by its structural system. By using a modular bay to organize space, the station becomes a rule-based system, deforming the structural frames with respect to the desired program (enclosure) and necessary structural support. The frames are thin and closely spaced at 6-foot intervals. Every 18 there is a primary frame.

The close, thin frames are deep to provide extra structural support and to create a visual diff erence. When viewed across (in the porous lter direction), the station is light and transparent. However, when viewed at an oblique angle, or when moving quickly through the station, the ns appear to merge and the station is read as a single, opaque gure.

The detailing of this small architectural bookstore is expresses the possibilities of custom wood detailing and the reconciliation between interior and exterior details. Each surface of the bookstore is thought of as a framed, two-dimensional surface through which windows are expressed as punched openings. The custom steel angles at the corners and around the window openings are framing devices for the structural plywood (interior) and shiplap siding (exterior). The details were fully worked out through precise 3d modeling to get a better feel for the nished expression of a designed detail.
