3UVA SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE // FINAL REVIEWS SPRING 2013

Dear Guests, Faculty, and Students,

Welcome and thanks for attending the final reviews of the semester of the studios of the School of Architecture of the University of Virginia!

All the studios from the beginning to advanced in both departments of Architecture and Landscape Architecture are part of this event. We want all our students and faculty exposed, learning, and enjoying from the experience and challenge of discussing work and ideas among us and with our guests.

Throughout, students will be encouraged not only to listen, but to be part of the conversation, making it an amazing opportunity of learning for all across both programs and at all levels, in as many reviews as the schedule allows.

At 8:30, jurors and faculty will meet at the school to have breakfast together, to be introduced, and have a short chat before starting reviews at 9:00. In this guide you will find the schedules, bios and descriptions of the jurors, students and studios, as well as some practical information.

We are looking forward to benefiting from your contribution. This is an important moment for our students and faculty, combining the intellectual challenge with the joy of the celebration of the end of the semester. We also hope this is going to be a fruitful time for you in Charlottesville.

Thanks for your generosity in sharing your time and ideas with us,

Iñaki Alday Nancy TakahashiChair of the Department Chair of the Departmentof Architecture of Landscape Architecturecell: 434-249-2763 cell: 434-906-1299

This is a Design Studio bridging sites and systems with rooms, buildings and cities where Spatial Strategies are derived specifically from the extrapolation of the Pre-Conditions of Site (Carr’s Hill & a Fragment of Alderman Library) and a rigorous group analysis of one paradigmatic case-study: The Monastery of La Tourette, by Le Corbusier. The pedagogic premise of this second in a sequence of foundation studios is that the history of the discipline matters, that there are lessons to be learned before they are transformed, and that Architecture is a Covenant with the World, Again.

IOS

With changing modes of how people live and work in cities and transforming economic models and infrastructural priorities, architecture is challenged to act – to create new types of living, working, and social spaces. In this frame, this studio has as its core ambition an exploration of the potential of the hybrid building to have a double or even triple profile and that can perform not simply at the scale of the building but that of the city.

INDEPENDENT STUDIES

The studio is facing the visualization and development of the concept “urban metabolism”, through the cycle of water in Charlottesville. We pretend to change radically the water supply system in the city, seeking for an expressive presence of water as a generator of public space. Overlapping the use as public space and the function as infrastructure we will make the system more complex, and this complexity will be the context for discovering new languages, and informing the construction of public environment in Charlottesville.

Charlottesville can afford this new challenge. The presence of the Rivanna River, and the physical characteristics of the city are the ideal place for doing this experiment. Infrastructure in Charlottesville is composed by three reservoirs, outside the city. Our proposal pretends to build a new reservoir in the city which is going to act as a lake, as public space and as trigger for rethinking the built environment in the city.

We are designing a community center for the Old City and Northern Liberties neighborhoods of Philadelphia. Each student has selected a site and has fashioned a program for the building. Programs have many different positions on what a community center is. We have required that the projects include apartments as well, to encourage a complexity of programmatic development.

How did we arrive at a hostile divide in the middle of the city? What would the river do to bring it to life again? How will the Jones Falls Corridor serve the Baltimore and the bay best in the future? The central and synthetic character of the bundled infrastructure corridor indicates a culmination of all critical urban conditions in Baltimore.

The Jones Falls represents a spatial sequence from a steep valley of urban wilderness lined with early industrial mills to a bundled traffic infrastructure corridor of the floodplain; running into the former delta of Inner Harbor area. The linear infrastructure of railway and motorway weave across the river until the Jones Falls River is buried into an underground concrete conduit just west of Penn Station. The subway sized culvert opening is where the river “ends” and this studio project begins.

Adaptive Strategies for Housing The Sharing EconomyLauren Begen

The emerging “sharing economy” is a powerful force, which operates largely in the virtual realm. Using an industrial warehouse in Danville, VA., strategies to adapt the built environment to house both human occupation and the sharing of resources are explored. The nature of ownership, boundaries and the dominant notion of home as private are tested.


Civilian Architectural Contingency CorpsAndrew Brown

Mobile work camps for a national deconstruction enterprise.

Public Space and Infrastructure - Kathputli Magician’s Colony, New Delhi, India Tom Gibbons

The project is three sites in a slum originally founded by Rajasthani puppeteers and magicians. Each design provisions permanent performance space, public space, and / or infrastructure that may catalyze in-situ redevelopment in the Colony’s housing stock.

Dynamic Nodes - Space Frames and their Joints Aaron Gahr

The space frame, developed by Buckminster Fuller, has been used to create space since 1950. Since that time, innovation has taken place within architecture and construction, but the space frame has remained a collection of dumb balls and sticks. The project looks at how this system can be one of increased flexibility and act as an open platform for design.

Tectonic Adaptations: Material, Spatial, and Temporal Operations in Danville, Virginia’s Tobacco Warehouse DistrictCatharine Killien

Framed through a broader investigation of material and tectonic strategies for the adaptation of buildings over time, this proposal calls for the re-inhabitation of a 200,000sf tobacco warehouse building in the dying mill town of Danville, Virginia. Through a minimal and selective approach, the intention of this project is to reconfigure the existing building with the least possible destruction of the existing fabric in a way that generates a diversity of spatial/material/and climatic conditions in order to become the next phase or layer in this building’s history of continuous adaptation.

Deconstructing DanvilleLiz Kneller + Parker Sutton

A design for a holistic hub for deconstructed materials providing economic, cultural, and educational stimulus to Danville, VA. Current work focuses on design for deconstruction as a natural compliment to passive conditioning strategies through the separation of building layers.

Plus/Minus: Infrastructural and Adaptive Interventions for the Reinvigoration of a Tobacco Warehouse DistrictRyan Metcalf

In an effort to address the decline of Danville, Virginia, a densification and reimagining of its Tobacco Warehouse District is proposed. Through a series of additive and subtractive operations, existing buildings are revitalized with strategic infrastructural insertions and collective open spaces to facilitate new spatial and contextual understandings of building, community, and neighborhood.

WASH: Urban Hydrological Networks for Resilient Cultural EcologiesAja Bulla-Richards

Arid cities face an imminent challenge: dwindling sources of freshwater coupled with rapid growth. This project proposes prototypical interventions that reconfigure stormwater and greywater infrastructure to initiate layered social and ecological structures in a typical Los Angeles neighborhood.

Participatory Productivity: Leveraging Community Engagement in Urban Agriculture to Catalyze Public SpaceIsaac Cohen & Isaac Hametz

Alison Hirsch and others have noted that designers have made major inroads addressing environmental issues in the constructed environment, but have failed to make equal gains in regards to socioeconomic issues. This thesis asks how a participatory design practice can catalyze a new kind of productive public space in the French Commando Park in Be’er Sheva, Israel.

River City | Reimagining Charlottesville’s Stream Valleys as Public Spaces of Socio-Ecological ProductionChelsea DeWitt

How might we reenvision our urban hydrological systems as facilitators of vibrant, productive spaces that enhance the socio-ecological well-being of communities? This thesis reorients Charlottesville’s stream valleys from a back to a front through the proposal of a one mile Streamway to connect Downtown Charlottesville with the regional trail and stream network, creating a new public realm of socio-ecological production.

Designing Tactical Retreat | Sandbridge Beach, VANathan Burgess

Arid cities face an imminent challenge: dwindling sources of freshwater coupled with rapid growth. This project proposes prototypical interventions that reconfigure stormwater and greywater infrastructure to initiate layered social and ecological structures in a typical Los Angeles neighborhood.

Community School: Designing to Better Support Under-served Youth and their CommunitiesAmelia Einbender-Lieber

My thesis critiques the typical typologies of schools as isolated, introverted and closed. My proposal is a permeable hybrid building, which breaks the school out of its closed mono-functioning profile and introduces a collection of interconnected programs that serve both the school and community. As a hybrid building it will function at many different scales and serve varied populations at different times of day and year.

Editing Emergence | Towards a Generative Maintenance PracticeMichael Geffel

As an alternative way to engage the medium, editing emergence demonstrates the generative capacity of landscape maintenance and how it can be utilized as a design instrument on two sites: a fallow field in Central Virginia and a declining post-suburban neighborhood in Southside Richmond.

The Urban Forest as Green InfrastructureBrian C. Flynn

Through the introduction of new planted form typologies, this study explores new potentials for the urban forest along West Main Street in Charlottesville amidst an Anthropocentric understanding of urban soils. The urban forest should be thought of as infrastructure that enhances the public space of the city for all its citizens.

Mother SaltRebekah Dye

Mother Salt is a research and information design project that explores geological deposits of rock salt on the Gulf Coast that have a complicated set of biophysical, social, and political phenomena associated with them. Multiple narratives exist to describe these deposits and how they function, yet none of these seem to account for the uncertainty that exists when humans must reconcile their activities at scales outside of the modern understanding of time and space. Mother Salt aims to synthesize these parallel and sometimes contradictory ways of understanding the scale-less as a vital first step towards acting in equilibrium at unprecedented scales.

Walled Compound 3.0: Reimagine Social Spaces in ShanghaiLingyi Gu

Walled Compound 3.0 was proposed to reintroduce spaces for acquaintances and strangers. Inside the wall, shared spaces and facilities were designed to recreate collective life for acquaintance. Outside the wall, modern public spaces for diverse population was introduced. Moreover, the wall itself turned to be a more porous one to encourage interactions between the two.

The Wild Anacostia: Cultivating a Thick Edge Typology Through Everyday ExperienceKate Hayes

The lines of a trail, walk, and path network thicken – both the spatial dimension and the public awareness of – the Anacostia. This thick edge breaks down and extends the boundaries of this urban river system by hybridizing the rhythms and movements of the daily lives of the community with those of the urban wild.

EwwwDavid Holzman

Design practices that favor clarity, purity, and sterility may be deeply rooted in a visceral human response: disgust, a revulsion that is at heart associated most with bodies (particularly human bodies), their parts, products, qualities, and life-sustaining actions. An unquestioning acceptance of disgust may detract from innovation and humane design.

Tokyo Mask 2050: Transforming Tokyo into “Immigration City”Teppei Iizuka

Immigration has become a default solution to the problems of a shrinking society. However, Japan is not yet open to this notion. This experimental project examines an opportunity to transform Tokyo into an “immigration city” through a concept of “Mask,” which realizes a unique coexistence between Immigrants and Japanese people.

Utopic Heterotopia: India’s Work in ProgressHarsh Vardhan Jain

In the wake of India’s economic growth, the country chooses to ignore the very population that is building the nation – its construction workers. This thesis proposes to integrate the ignored demographic through the establishment of a deranged utopia or rather a utopic heterotopia.

Building Behavior: A Digitally Altered PhenomenologyRyan Lewandowski

How are our physical lives and activities being translated into the digital realm, and vice versa? My thesis is an investigation into this emerging dialogue of the spatial and inherently aspatial digital, to see how our perception of physical space is implicated by the integration of responsive digital technologies.

Inhabiting the Socio-ecological Threshold:From Friendship Court Housing Project to Pollock’s Branch “Water-hood”James Moore

How can the liminal space between street and structure combine green infrastructure and shared space to create a socio-ecologically performative component of our cities? How might this framework reimagine the Friendship Court housing project as a part of a water-centered community in Pollock’s Branch?

Hybridizing Library with ContextYeonkyung Oh

In the age of instant information, the notion of a library is re-thought to maximize the aspects of experiential learning. A decentralized spatial experience is established as a result of deistributing the library function, forming a strategic relationship with REGIONAL + LOCAL opportunities.

War Zone: A New Confrontational GroundMatthew Pinyan

How might architecture respond to the globalized nature of contemporary war— if memorial construction once signaled the end of a conflict, could a new institution emerge as an active participant in the resolution of global warfare? This thesis proposes such an institution, a new ground built for confrontation— a space for mediation and resolution of international conflict.

Re-calibrating the River | Re-balancing Social and Political Dynamics through Water InfrastructureErin Root

In the interest of catalyzing a broader conversation around alternatives to large scale damming, this thesis reconsiders how water is collected and stored for human and agricultural use in villages in the arid region of Limpopo, South Africa. The design intends to rescale water infrastructure from large, fixed and centralized constructions to flexible, adaptable, human scale networks.

BIM Unplugged: toward resiliency in cross-cultural built operationsMegan Suau

What drives built processes in regions without access to reliable materials, trained professionals, or regulatory authorities? How do Western-based architectural aid organizations contribute? What opportunities do these limitations present? BIM Unplugged creates a physical and virtual resource which records, replicates, and improvises upon the failures and successes of ongoing cross-cultural operations in East Africa.

Designing in Place: Prospects for a Contemporary, Rooted, Everyday ArchitectureJesse Wilks

Designing in Place seeks to generate an improved everyday built environment by establishing a design process driven by ethics, rather than form-making. Its goal is to create contemporary, economical architecture that is sensitive to site and place, rooted in building culture, and that celebrates the most ordinary human activities.

Thermodynamic Composition / Charlottesville City MarketChris Woods

The Charlottesville city market is a venue for direct exchange between local growers and local consumers. The market offerings change with the seasons, as does the experience of the market. This project conceptually embraces this seasonality while maintaining a fixed spatial layout. It does so through the shifting location of vendor and consumer functions in response to heat, light and air movement. This intervention does not reinforce a homogenous condition or static character. It seeks to increase awareness and understanding of change and specific properties of material, light, and movement. Space is conceived through its properties and its seasonal and diurnal change; it’s perceived and experienced as relational, contingent and fluctuating.

Oh-Map – A Map for the Diagramming ProcessCarrie Cardona and Mandy Yujing Han

This project seeks to create a conceptual tool for architects to gather, organize and generate diagrams about a particular place. We achieve this by constructing the oh-map. It organizes existing diagrams, informs the user about current knowledge gaps, and directs the user to the generation of new diagrams.

DLA Fractal DevelopmentNell Connors

My thesis creates a new method for zoning the metropolitan growth of a city with a diffusion-limited aggregation fractal system. I have tested the theory is a series of test cases around Washington, DC, demonstrating the effectiveness of the system in creating diverse and individual communities.

Paradox City and the RiverVictor Hugo Azevedo

This thesis is a critique and a response to the urban renewal developments in the Amazonian city of Manaus, Brazil. It aims to institute a model of development that keeps the existing social networks intact by means of inserting infrastructure and new programmatic elements into informal settlements; and also grant the formal city access to the river; that has been for so long neglected. This is a model that is sensible to the environment and it aims to work with the population in place. The ultimate goal of this project is to develop a model that will catalyze gradual social and economic growth in the river-edge informal settlements.

Towards a Cybernetic SystemYetunde Ogunwumi

The Cybernetic System is a way of re-thinking the built environment as a product of the rhizomatic relationship between the human and the robot, and in turn, the relation between this ‘Cyborg’, or cybernetic organism, and limited resources. The New City will be flexible, adaptable, and would encourage a nomadic system of growth and propagation. The final product will be a system that could eventually grow to produce a city, adaptable to different locations, economies, cultures, etc. Resource network mapped out, with systems for pods to plug into this system.

Rural RedefinedKate Stabler

Due to economic and environmental crises, the heartland of the United States of America and more specifically Kansas and Nebraska is in danger of becoming a permanent dust bowl and suffer even more hardship. Instead of fleeing from the land, the region requires planning measures that include inviting wildlife to take over certain areas and re-imagine the culture of agriculture to include usage of new techniques, more training, and a broader scope of research to ensure future generations a quality lifestyle. Rural Redefined is about creating solutions for the economic and environmental crisis happening in these two states and can be utilized in other states.

Movement in Space: Animation as a Design ToolCarter Tata

This thesis explores the use of animation to study the human body’s relationship to space. Architecture and human movement are interdependent, but design usually focuses on only half of this relationship. Animation software opens the doors to looking at this relationship in a different way.

TensionsKelvin Grullon

A response to the effects of the gentrification process in diverse urban neighborhoods; the set of social, cultural, and economical tensions that result from that process. Defining tensions as the “imposed strains on the living conditions of a neighborhood”, the project proposes a set of positive tensions in the form of spatial and programmatic hybrid interventions, along Broadway Ave. in the neighborhood of Washington Heights, NYC.
