Bhutan Education City (BEC) is proposed to develop on around 1000 acres of land, strategically located between Bhutans International Airport in Paro and its capi-tal city of Thimphu on a concession which is for an aggregate period of 90 years consisting of 3 terms of 30 years each.

The campus will have common facilities like the academic bloc, sports and recre-ational facilities, medical facilities, caf-eteria and residential units. The overall project shall be developed in phases. The campus will be developed to the tradi-tional Bhutanese architecture using lo-cally available materials and resources.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK OPTIONS

The master planning team developed

and analyzed four alternative conceptual

frameworks for BECs physical master

plan. Each of the alternative concepts have

been developed with the same program

elements in the same relative proportions.

The differences between each are in how

the program arrayed on the site, thereby

changing the interrelationship between

the programs and their synergies.CONCEPT FRAMEWORKINTRODUCTION

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

ACADEMIC BOULEVARDCONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

The natural land forms four main fingers of

buildable areas

the ravines between these landforms provide

areas for natural habitat

Providing major circulation along a single

horizontal contour provides connection

between the four land masses


G-09


CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

ACADEMIC BOULEVARDCONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

Interaction nodes are created - one for each

land mass - and placed along the horizontal

connection. Here the most interactive spaces

that need high visibility and accessibility are

located.

The most public and shared program elements

are arrayed along the horizontal spine,

providing the Academic Boulevard.

the higher education institutions are placed on

the lower hillsides - closer to the access points,

student villages on the middle slopes and the

more private villas on the upper hillsides. Public

vertical transportation provides access up and

down the hillsides at each node point.


G-13

The 225 acre initial phase of development will

include education, student living, villas and a

large diversity of programs. The first phase

of the development can be located centrally

on the site where the government bridge and

roadway provides access to the site. This will

establish the major horizontal belt of

jj?j??a?jjj?ato the north and the south as required.

Alexandria 4500

This project has two buildings in differ-ent phases: the lab is in the process of being built and the hospital needs to be marketted. The client had to know if designing a hospital would be profitable in this complex. We designed the hospital, determining what square footage it would need and we tried to fit our clients pro-grammatic requirements within the build-ing. The lab building had to be redesigned and was given to us after another office had designed the floor plate. We also did an extended study on the exterior space of the two buildings. We deter-mined a circulation system within the com-plex, a green space for the lab building, and facade systems for both buildings.

Kuwait University

Masterplanning and design for a new technology, Business, Healthcare, and Education comple project at Al Jah-ra, Kuwait. The educational campus is for approximately 12,000 students in a new college to the west of Kuwait City. We had to consider the interre-lationships of the four specialities as well as maintaining a general separa-tion between male and female students.

Papua New Guinea

This marketting proposal for the gov-ernment of Papua New Guinea. Us-ing tribal masks in Papua New Guinea as a precedent, we designed a central assembly area. Surrounding the as-sembly area is a quadrant of offic-es. We considered the ground floor as being more open than the upper floor.

Devour Detroit

Let Detroit go back to the wild. The cen-ter of Detroit has become filled with aban-doned buildings. These abandoned build-ings combined with the amount of parking lots and depopulation make the character-istic of the city fabric that of emptiness.

When buildings become abandoned in the inner city, nature punctures through the idealized landscape of where a city, sub-urb, and wilderness are placed. But the city also becomes empty as the wilderness enters--no one is there to use these new spatial moments of emptiness. Instead these buildings are fenced off or torn down to result in more land indetermina-cy. Instead they could be used as shells and considered a part of the wilderness. Michigan Central Station exemplifies this urban condition at the architectural scale. Today, the station contains a quality of wilderness that is attained through its abandoned state that can inform an urban solution for the city of Detroit.

This extension for Columbia Univer-sity is a center for arts for the stu-dents. This project creates a space that the public and students can use. De-signed on one of the few large plots of park land in New York City, this proj-ect aims to be a horizontal interven-tion and maintain the natural landscape.

Method for design consists of analyz-ing the structure and physical makeup of a peapod and pineapple to generate a structural organization for program. I used Grasshopper, an add-on to Rhi-noceros to create a peapod structure. The structure of the peapod provides the foundation for the branches within the building. These branches are centered around nodes, an addition from my partner who analyzed the structure of a pineapple.

This project caters to an annual film fes-tival in Ithaca, New York. It is located in the downtown area where there is a cen-tral path with a density of restaurants on one end and a gorge trail on the other.

My partner and I examined two images from Russian Constructivism to inform a formal method for the hotel. One image led us to a study of rectangular forms that can be used to establish a sense of hierar-chy. The second led us to question what could be behind those rectangles. This is visualized with the model on the left: the side facing the streetis an opaque rectangular surface while the North West side introduces a series of implied spaces.

This project centers around three trellis systems that circle around three courtyards. Each courtyard ad-dresses a different programmatic need. The largest courtyard is for the gym-nasium space. The second is an out-door courtyard used to serve a church on the east side of the buiilding that frequently holds community events. The third courtyard is an atrium and serves as a community multi-purpose space.

In this experimental studio, our class set out to find to what extent origami techniques can be used to generate for-mal strategies for architecture. I used the magic ball as my origami method. By changing size, scale, and making cuts at different moments of folding, differ-ent architectural implications are made. Formal experiments with origami were then taken to generate a form for a museum in Brooklyn Bridge Park.

Physical modeling, and model-ing on Rhino and Maya were used as the methods of production.

Zebra lip movement

44

We had to describe a motion that the animal has through architectur-al means. My team focused on the lip and neck of the zebra as it grazed and eats. The way that it moves especially in the jaw has an industrial quality as though it were a machine. This com-pares nicely with the lip which moves more freely and has a soft appearance.

In terms of making the zebra move my partner and I operated the differ-ent characteristics of the zebra move-ment: I lifted the neck in a slow, grazing motion and moved the soft lips while my partner operated the jaw, an element that had a sounds qual-ity of metal scraping against the other.

This model is the product of a semester long study of the structural system be-hind the National Assembly for Wales de-signed by Renzo Piano. The model is made entirely from wood cut by hand and milled.

The structure of the roof consists of six dome shapes with one support-ing a floating cone-like shape. Col-umns at the bottoms of the arch-es help to withstand vertical thrust.
