Rubbish and Recycling in New York City

75% of NYC waste dumped into Atlantic

Department of Sanitation set up

1/3 of NYC garbage is burned.1,700 building incinerators22 municipal incinerators

Fresh Kills is the last landfill in NYC to close

Visitors describe NYC as a "nasal disaster, where some streets smell like bad eggs dissolved in ammonia."

NYC's Metropolitan Board of Health forbids the "throwing of dead animals, garbage or ashes into the streets.

The first garbage incinerator in the U.S. is built on Governors Island

The Mobro, a Long Island garbage barge, is turned away by six states and three countries. The garbage is finally inciner-ated in Brooklyn

Fresh Kills becomes the largest landfill in the world. Viewable from Space

NYC banned from dumping municipal waste in the Atlantic Ocean, commer-cial and industrial waste dumping still continues.

Seropdica

Wells extract methane from decomposing trash. This methane is burned to generate electricity.

Porous tubes in a layer of sand beneath the piled waste collect leachate as it

seeps downward and pump it to a treatment center where it is cleaned

and recycled water is harvested.

Landll is sealed with a plastic liningapplied to a layer of compacted clay.

Earth and trash are layered over each other daily.

New York City parks are comprised of tree species from around the world. As an infrastructural resource, 5.2 million living trees draw in and store 1.35 million tons of carbon dioxide annually and cover approximately a quarter of New York City land area. In contrast to New Yorks highly maintained park system, Rio de Janeiros parks, comprised primarily of native species, are less controlled and play a more active role in shaping the urban fabric.

Wood makes up a small niche in the total infrastructure of New York City. However, this infrastructure comes into daily contact with residents. Interestingly, almost all of the woods used in these projects are Brazilian hardwoods imported from South America.

Rio de Janeiro is currently seeing an influx of public works projects in preparations for the World Cup Tournament in 2014 and the Summer Olympic Games in 2016. Despite having an abundance of domestic hardwoods a vast amount of timber is still being imported to suit the needs of highly specialized projects. Large projects such as these produce an abundance of wood waste that can then be used for furniture, heating, and makeshift structures.

CULTIVATING LANDSCAPE

KEENAN KORTH, ZOE NAMEROW, HANNAH NOVAK, MANUEL CORDERO

Cultivating Landscape aims to provide a nurturing environment for the growth of trees from saplings to mature trees. As the plants mature, the associated programs become more flexible and accommodating to community events. The sites fo the initial stages provide a platform for education and awareness of environmental issues at both local and global scales. For the city of Rio de Janeiro, these programs take advantage of the underutilized spaces scattered around Praca Tiradentes by providing miniature cultural hubs open to pub-lic events. These sites are templates for a larger network that can take place throughout the city. This network can expand to encompass other plazas and parks to initiate more cycles throughout the urban landscape.

Our solution for a temporary structure in Praa Tiradentes addresses the environmental issues surrounding deforestation within an urban landscape. The structure utilizes aeroponic farming techniques in a modular system, which cultivates tree saplings as a part of reforestation efforts and encour-ages community involvement by allowing visitors to take and re-plant tree saplings. The structure is sustainable, incorporating solar panels and rain collecting modules to generate energy for the aeroponic mechanisms. Specific manifestations of this system are driven by site-specific parameters such as sun movement,

STAGE 1AEROPARK

DAY 2DAY 1 DAY 2-21 DAY 22 DAY 23

Small clipping from a tree can be cut and used as the starting point for saplings

Tree clippings are taken to Praca Tiradentes and planted in the aeroponic growing system

Over the course of 2-3 weeks, the saplings develop a callous and root system

They are watered every hour with a nutrient mist that is pumped througout the system

Roots must grow 7-10 inches to reach full maturity

Once sapling roots have fully developed, community members remove the saplings from the aeroponic system

After tree saplings are removed, they are planted into the ground in an effor to help eradicate deforestation

STAGE 2

After spending two to three weeks in Stage 1, the tree saplings move to Stage 2 in this adjacent site. Here the plants are housed for two to three years. The plants gradually move through a gradient of pot sizes to accomodate their growing root structure. The perforated surface that houses and feeds the plants also creates an immersive experience for visitors. The exterior ramps allow the visitor to experience the gradient of growth over time. The interior forms a cave-like environment that exposes the roots of the trees and contains two small lecture spaces

63

STAGE 3

While many plants from Stage 2 are distributed throughout the city those remaining are transferred to the Stage 3 site. Once again, this site utilizes an existing facade near Praca Tiradentes. trees are placed in tracks below grade, while the rootball is exposed. An elevated drip irrigation system further maximies the visibility of the care of the small trees. An overhead lightbox collects solar energy throughout the day and serves to fuel the irrigation system as well as illuminate the space for evening events. A this stage, the role of public space becomes more prominent, as visitors can walk and sit between the rows of the trees within the space.

64

The light box collects rain and provides light for evening events

The rain is pumped into the drip irrigation system to provide water to the trees

The walkway leads to a small event space at the corner end of the site

Tracks below grade hold the trees in place while slight changes in eleva-tion create seating opportunities

69

STAGE 4

The final stage creates a permanent landscape for the trees that have not been adopted elsewhere from earlier stages. The landscpae is extruded and torqued upward creating architectural volumes that house research facilities deicated to forwarding the many new and innovative ways to utilize trees as a resource. This space also houses a small permanent aeroponic garden providing specimens for research as well as an open patio that accommodates up to two hundred people for public events.

From this point new clippings can be taken from the permanently planted trees and recycled back through the systems beginning in Aeropark on Praca Tiradentes.

K[NO]W Waste

NICK MINGRONE + GWENETH BACON-SHONE

K[no]w Waste is a temporary installation for Praca Tiradentes, a public square in the histori-cal downtown of Rio de Janeiro. In the hopes of challenging the common tendency of the public to forget about waste once it is discarded, as landlls are tucked far away out of sight, the project forces the public to confront it, visually and physically. The installation acts as an alternative to disposing of waste in a trash can on the street. As objects are placed into the structure, it transforms, taking on the attributes of whatever materials it holds. The system itself is also recongurable, thus allowing users to dictate both form and materiality for themselves. Rather than treating waste as something to be discarded and forgotten, its characteristics are made experiential, and its sight impossible to ignore. Because it functions as a waste receptacle system, the structure also has a release mechanism so that the col-lected materials can be properly collected and recycled or sold off, rather than simply being discarded.

TRASHWORKS

Nick Mingrone

Trashworks builds upon the K[no]w Waste project and applies its function to a more perma-nent construction. It operates as a part of an ongoing even cycle across several abandoned lots surrounding Praca Tiradentes in Rio de Janeiro. Trashworks is an artist in residence headquarters that offers an alternative solution to waste disposal through waste collec-tion and art installation. Using a structural suspension system that fosters openness and transparency, particularly for the flow of light and views throughout the structure, the main site is broken into a series of smaller programmatic spaces. Private spaces housing resident artists are brought to the uppermost levels. While the ground level is geared to recieve both incoming trash and the public from the outside world. Public and private meet at the middle level, which contains both artist workspace and gallery and event areas. Central to everything is the waste itself, actively sorted and on display. A series of satellite sites has also been selected to house the completed artist installations, and a nal exhibition t the conclu-sion of residency returns the work to Praca Tiradentes, the original site of material collection.

RAINCLOUD

SHIVINA HARJANI + CAROLINE LUKINS

Raincloud is a temporary pavilion installation that aims to educate the occupants about

water as a natural, sustainable resource in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The intervention

brings to the community an interactive public space that hopes to inspire a new

consciousness around Rios historically tenuous relationship with water. The space

both engages users in leisurely activity and uses water to unveil a series of ironies in

Cariocas water access. Water levels at the site directly respond to the population of

users, bringing about a sensitivity to control over ones own access to and influence

over the communitys water.

Raincloud2 adopts an abandoned site West of V Tiradentes to develop as a Flood Research Center/ Emer-gency Evacuation Shelter that uses the same technologies developed in Raincloud1 to build a reactive facade that opens and closes in response to monthly rainfall. In the event of a flood emergency, the facade and floor

plates expand fully, allowing the Research Buildings programs to transform and accommodate the immediate neighborhoods evacuees. At times of evacuation, the floor plates expand to 160% of the original square foot-age to accommodate the influx of residence in the building and the additional programs that are associated

with evacuation necessities.

Interior Scale: Oversized Circulation

Oversized circulation is central to the design of Raincloud2; the floor plates shapes react to an extra-wide staircase that runs through the core of the building. The oversized stairs allow for both accessibility and for adaptable programmatic space (i.e. seating) during times of emergency.

THE FILTER

AVA AMIRAHMADI

After learning about the lack of access to potable water in Rio de Janeiro, I designed a tem-

porary pavilion that will collect and filter rainwater through the piping to feed activity areas

around the plaza. I then developed a community center that my pavilion could connect to.

The community center will tap into the beginning of the condominial block and redirect the

water to its Granular Activated Carbon Filters. The potable water will be used in different ac-

tivity areas in the community center, as well as feeding the rest of the condominial block. The

roof also collects rainwater to feed the two green walls. By exposing the piping system and

creating spaces with thi continually flowwing system, people who interact with these projects

will be able to appreciate the beauty of water and learn about water filtration.
