  • 2On the northern side of the Parade Ground, The

    Governors Cup Pavilion hovers in a cluster of trees.

    Recycled plastic cups, sourced and discarded throughout

    the city, are supported by zip-ties from overhead cables,

    forming a dense knitted structure unspooling from the

    branches. Strapping and turn-buckled cabling system

    used to leave the trees unscathed.The crocheted lace-

    inspired configuration forms an outdoor room: part

    canopy and part inhabitable tree-like member.

    - punch 1 hole on the cup bottom (with metal puncher)

    -punch 5 (3/16) holes bellow cup collar (with leather puncher tool)

    After the cups have been cleaned, punched and glued together (through glue gun or plastic welding) then the units can be assembled into the modules. CDR will edit and sort the variety of cup sizes collected to modulate the forming of the structure through plan and section. We will also modulate the connections top and bottom, through tighter and looser zip-tie loops to provide exibility of the structure in two directions. The nal assembly will be done at the of ces of CDR and will be put together into approximately six (6) pieces for ease of construction and transport. The cup modules sections can stack, using cardboard plates to pack the truck. A small 12 high rental truck will t the complete installation pieces. The units will be transported to the site and the six (6) pieces will be stitched together on site with the zip-ties. Plastic shing line or re-used plastic wire (2mil) is woven into the top and bottom of the main cups structural tape through the loops of the zip ties, giving continuity and reinforcement to the construction. The center of the piece is staked and weighted to the ground, while the 4 wings of the installation will tie upward to the tree trunks creating 5 areas of play, stage and viewing. We will be using staging platforms, (ladders and boards) and come-alongs with rope hoists and hooks to raise each section to the branches and trunks. The trees will have cinching tree straps and protection for the bark; smaller cinching straps will also be used on the branches to connect overhead. The nal ties off will be done with the shing wire using spike hitches and bowmans knots.

    -glue two cups bottom to bottom with hot glue (gun)

    -assemble module of 3 glued parts (6 cups) by attaching one part to another with zip ties (6 zip ties per module)

  • 4The holes that were punctured through the plastic cups serves

    a practical purpose of rain drainage, but also lets the

    ever-changing color of the sky pass right through - unfiltered.

    The translucent yet reflective nature of all the materials used

    catches and redirects the light. After the 2014 Summer City of

    Dream installation, Greenpoint non-profit Arts@Renaissance

    will claim the Pavilion for their courtyard gallery space. After

    the cups have been cleaned, punched and glued together the

    units got assembled into the modules. CDR Studio sorted out

    the cups collected from We Work and Google NYC offices.

    The final assembly was done at the offices of CDR Studio and

    was put together into six pieces to ease the construction and

    transportation.

  • 5The units were transported to the site. The six pieces

    were stitched together on site with the zip-ties. Plastic

    fishing line or re-used plastic wire (2mil) is woven into

    the top and bottom of the main cups structural tape

    through the loops of the zip ties, giving continuity and

    reinforcement to the structure.

    Mock ups | Description

    The mock up represents 1/4 of the final proposed

    installation. The main structural tape was composed

    of two cups attached end to end. The tape structure

    was daisy- chained together with attached infill fringe

    mesh in segments. For more uniform stresses on the

    structure, zip tie loops with 400 pounds gauge fishing

    line act as reinforcement. The mock-up was installed in

    the courtyard of A@R in a 30x30 quilt. The mock up

    used both the tape structure and fringe webbing infill

    to try to maintain the form of the design.

    Installation

    The canopy allows for deformation while the tested

    structural tape remained strong and held off wind and

    rain. The four trees that CDR is proposing to work with

    are approximately 12 to 14 caliper with canopies of

    approximately 30 to 40 feet wide. Per our teams

    arborists specification, we are proposing a canopy of

    a series of hammockshung by using padded

    strapping to connect tot he trees. GovernorsCup is a

    stage, a backdrop, a place to linger. It is site-

    specific and culled from many different inhabitations

    and locales with our city.

    In the first part of the project mullein moth caterpillar was

    chosen as an organic form for its bright color combination

    and solid body proportions. Caterpillars have been called

    eating machines, and eat leaves voraciously. These

    creatures have a very unique body/muscle structure and

    are super flexible. Many caterpillars are cryptically colored

    and resemble the plants on which they feed. Anatomical

    changes are applied to the original prototype through a

    series of deformations and tesselations in Maya.

    In the second part of the project the prototype is manipu-

    lated in a way where an alien-like machinecreature is

    created through using a series of instances.

    Part l. Research.

    Brooklyn Square is an urban studio study for Brooklyn

    Tech Triangle. It is a solution for one of the problematic

    sites inside the Brooklyn Tech Triangle. A problem of a

    extremely wide Sands street gets solved by rerouting

    traffic going to and from Brooklyn Bridge, thus turning

    it into a pedestrian area. That is where Brookly Square

    lives. Brooklyn Square is a place where paths of young

    tech professionals, business owners, colledge students,

    wandering tourists and local residents intersect. It is

    a unique mark on the Brooklyn map where Brooklyn

    and Manhattan bridges meet - a juncture that brings

    together downtown Brooklyn and DUMBO, south and

    north of Jay street.

    Brooklyn square is a place of entertaiments and

    adventure. It is supplied with a high-tech interactive

    visitors center that features large-scale touch screen

    map that can be simulteneously manipulated by

    multiple users. It provides an essential connection

    between an extended Jay street subway exit on the F

    train line and the new lightrail system. Brooklyn square

    also brings luxury retail spaces as well as cafe/restau-

    rant spaces.

    Proposed transportation system that includes new light

    rail system, modified bus routes and subway entrances

    The brief is to re-imagine the condo

    building which already had its foundation in place.

    We redesigned the layouts with generous two

    bedroom accommodating 5 units in the same

    footprint. The building facade stretches across 35

    feet along Washington Avenue, giving us a chance

    to add meaning to an otherwise uninspired block.

    The area has witnessed a building boom during

    recent years.

    To investigate the form different types of fabric

    were gathered together and then pleated. The

    notion of the memory or history of a fabric

    becomes a focus of this study. The swatches are

    pleated and then released. The memory left on

    the fabric is an expression of motion, a motion

    that is mimicking the pleat. That motion is a form

    driver for this project. When generating the form

    to replicate motion across a fabric, a series of

    sine curves are created. Sine curves are lofted

    and generate a flowing, organic form analogous

    to the memory pattern left by the pleating

    investigation. Final shape of the panel is achieved

    through flip milling. The underside of the facade

    piece is a replica of the top curvature geometry.

    This project is situated at the very north of High Line park in NYC. This iconic hotel is directly connected to the High Line

    pedestrian path. Courbe de Maison features luxury duplex suits with increadible views of Hudson river as well as 28

    regular suits, farm to table restaurant, roof top lounge and a small farm.

    The band of the hotel wraps under and above the High Line park and becomes one with it. Park visitors have a direct

    acess to the roof top of the hotel. The rooftop farm provides tours and classes to the public.
