PUBLIC EXCHANGE

In the Manhattanville expan-sion, GSAPP has a unique opportunity to advance the distributed learning network approach of studio X and operate as a constantly evolving laboratory which responds rapidly to the local condition by accelerating the research-understand-design-build approach as GSAPP-HQ(X): the workshop for the imme-diate future.

As a local studio-X node, GSAPP HQ will aspire to learn from the realities and resources of the community into which it is immersed, and serve as a platform for Moebius-like exchange: public/environmental concerns will meld with design /lab hypotheses to discover points of overlap and fuel collaboration and communal exploration. As a global test site, GSAPP HQ(X) celebrates the practical and the transient aspects of design education as a space for hypothesis testing, and embraces GSAPP’s experimental essence in the new campus.

The architectural manifestation of the space for collaborative design is a series of spatial sequences which contain moments of determinacy and opportunities for flexibility, thus expanding the programmatic repertoire first at the scale of the building, and potentially - via the studio-X network - at the global scale of public space infrastructure.

with Evan Bauer, Parker Seybold and Gustavo Bonet

The “BX HIPSTER COMPLEX” was designed as a sanctuary for young artists and designers to have ample space in which to design and fabricate. The building design takes inspiration from Louis Kahn’s Salk Institute inLa Jolla and his use of Vierendeel Trusses in order to creat open, column-free floor plates.

These spaces are indended as workshops, gallery spaces and design studios for young creative people in the Bronx. In order to accommodate the work produced in the building we have incorporated two large gallery and exhibition spaces.

At the ground level we have developed a clear-through lobby gallery space which can be entirely opened to the outside for events during warm months. Large pivoting doors along the north and south facades rotate to open the ground floor to the exterior. The Uppermost level has been designed as a flexible exhibit/gallery/event space where large parties and shows can take place, with open views.

TYPES OF GREEN

Extant green space in Jersey City and Hoboken is severely compromised and vanishing rapidly.

How can a 73-acre develop-ment provide 42.5 desired acres of green space and revitilize the entire area, while providing over 8000 housing units and over 5 million square feet of retail?

We explored the potential of a contained residential devel-opment to bridge adjacent communities into an inte-grated network of bicycle- and pedestrian-friendly circula-tion. Our proposal considered lifestyle networks that lace through the housing develop-ment, and expanded access to larger parks and more insular green spaces in this the new urban park paradigm.

Each housing building is built upon the plinth which forms an undulating green land-scape network across the site. The cores of the building are a geometrical inversie of the plinth cell, with the open space primed for commercial and recreational use. Floorslabs can achieve vari-able depth to optimize light and air penetration into the housing units.

The multi-prong plan of each unit also guarantees double light exposure and access to local green space, which emerges from the vertical cross-building cut. These vertical gardens serve as each building’s community space for the residents and as visual green accents for the entire neighborhood.

The Neon Project is a digitally designed and fabricated public installation created at The Graduate School of Architecture Planning and Preservation (GSAPP) – Columbia University, New York City, as part of the Fast Pace / Slow Space course taught here at GSAPP by Brigette Borders and Mark Bearak.

The Neon Project is a public mega-furniture installation which invites users to enter the Pod and enjoy a relaxing moment of lounging and rocking. Measuring approximately 18 feet in diameter and 6 feet tall, it can accommodate a group of peo-ple in its vertical hammocks. The cord which spans the gap between each HDPE rib creates a vertical resting space for the users of the Neon Pod. The construction of the Neon Pod incorporates a flexible joint at the base which allows each rib a 10 degree range of rotation and causes each Pod to react and deform to the bodies it supports.

The Neon Project was installed at the GSAPP End of Year Show dur-ing the week of May 12, 2012.
