How can the relationship between urban watercourses and urban fabric refresh biological processes, nourish vibrant social connections and stabilize economic interactions?
A MUSEUM THAT WALKS THE RIVERmovement in six acts
Rome is a city rich with historic walking processionals (or vias) weaving through monuments and relics in reverence of the cities traditions and cultures. Strangely, the Tiber River has consistently been ignored within the catalogue of honorary routes. Even with the profound role it has played in Romes cultural, ecological and economic evolution--supplying goods and services to sustain its urban infrastructures--the Tiber has, in many ways, been treated with apathy and disrespect.
The goal of this project is to establish the Tiber River within the catalogue of Romes significant urban artifacts by expanding the complexity and scales of interactions between waters, edges, people and the greater urban flows.
Assuming the cities urban fabric to be an innate connective tissue, a network of architectural focal lenses--considered architectural follies--are placed in the river. The idea of the follie is derived from the structures of 18th century English garden design: they contrasted against the botanical aesthetic while functioning as respite and shelter. Along the Tiber River, the program of gallery is added to the concept of the follie while it is combined with six distilled river experiences: meander, float, eddy, sink, perch, drift.
By punctuating significant moments in the city, these vessels of meaning will transform the rivers status to one of prominence and respect. This is the first step in any true consideration of the kind of ecological harmony possible between Rome and the Tiber.

ANCIENT FERRY CROSSING:
Sensitively placed at the locations of historic Traghettos--ancient cable ferries that acted as secondary bridges--the follies will be stages upon which a dialogue of the future evolutionary possibilities speak to the history of the river.

CONTEMPORARY CONTEXT:
In contrast to the heavy-handedness shown by the engineers of the Tibers embankments, the follies are subtle moves driven by the ethic that simple interventions can breed extensive and complex results.

ELEMENTS:of the river
By creating this hard and fast edge of impenetrably stacked travertine the experience of the Tiber water course was severed from Romes urban fabric. This act catalyzed a decisions to further fragment the river from the city when, in response to congestion and traffic, the state constructed two grand automobile highways flanking the embankments edge. These layers of material and abstract barriers--from building edge, to highway edge, to embankment edge, down 50ft to river edge--have constrained the productive role the river could play for Rome and its people. The first steps in changing how cities interact with their ecological amenities--forming symbiotic partnerships between built form and natural growth--is to create awareness and manifest value in order to inspire conscientious activities by citizens and visitors.
These fantastical structures of elemental phenomena will illuminate the mind as well as engage the senses, acting as catalysts for Romans and other visitors to participate more regularly and directly with the river. Rather than acting as mechanisms of transportation across and along the river, like existing bridges and highways, the Follies will be mechanisms of attraction that seduce citizens by inviting creative participation with its waters.
The Walking Museum envisions how this neglected path becomes the Museum of the Tiber River. In a city so restricted by existing building density the river emerges as the most dynamic plane of architectural imagination.

in order to re-invigorate the rivers edge, this follie offers market stalls for seasonal vendors.

BUILD:jhc design/ build projectclayton, new york 2011-present (paused for the season)
who: what: where: when:
Six hours from Manhattan there lies a property on which a series of cottages are set against the St. Lawrence River. Built fifty years ago for city dwellers fleeing dense metropoli, this vacation spot has evolved into a familys dwelling. The main cabin is their home; three of the original buildings surround it, half gutted or filled with old furniture. One of these remnant structures is a boathouse with guest quarters.
Preserving the existing footprint of the boathouse, the Jo(h)ns will re-establish it as a destination. The vision of the Boat Hole project is focused on intimate interac-tions with the river: hearing the waves, seeing the wildlife, touching the ripples, feeling the energy.
Driven by an ethic of material and historic perpetuation these two sensitive cats will source materials through onsite deconstruction and fallen tree milling.

Characteristic of North American, car-focused master plans, the area surrounding Mt. Baker Light Rail Station is constrained by both physical and conceptual barriers.
Mitigating these barriers involves the identification of latent potentials embedded in the urban landscape.
This is the story of how an urban remnant can be activated to the benefit of local economies, ecologies and cultures.
An under utilized alley becomes an armature of paths and nodes, supporting a diversity of interactions; the basis of a resilient neighborhood.

the FOOD that FOOD carts FEED
mapped above is the proximity between food cart pods and the source of their raw goods
the research began by studying five major food cart hubs, known as pods, in Portland, Oregeon.
vendors were asked a series of questions in order to describe the ways in which they sourced, prepared and payed for their products.
diagrams describing the specific intensity of activity created by different pod compositions show the affect they have on urban block structures.
by determining the proximity of a cart/pods customer base and material sources a diagram of local food production, consumption and waste processing began to materialize.
the implications of approaching such a closed-loop food economics are transferable to a variety of industries and would stimulate robust cycles in cities, directly cultivating vibrant, imaginative, playful and self-sustaining urban environments.

this diagram illustrates the hypathetical interactions and flows within a localized food production, consumption and waste processing system.
by the final set of interviews it became evident that the neighborhood was key to a pods existence.
not only were they the main consumers of delicous edibles but they had also become suppliers of simple ingredients.
some of the pods had unnoficially begun to barter with local backyard gardens: supplys for carefully prepared food.
the diagram below imagines how a neighborhood colonizing the underutilized space of a local right-of-way median could create a closed food loop both within households as well as in restaurants and at food cart pods.
