The subway station is more than just a platform and an entrance. Every piece of this city infrastructure requires its own support infrastruc-tures, including electrical substations to power the train tracks, water mains for sprinkler systems, and auxiliary buildings for ventilation. There are three basic components to the subway station. There are the entrances and platforms which are open to the public, there are ventilation shafts to provide fresh air and fi re control, and there are electrical substations. Contrary to the MTA’s proposals for the Second Avenue Subway, all of these elements can be placed below ground, or tucked into multi use buildings. Infrastructure is often treated as a fi xed element, unconsidered in the planning of buildings. If they are combined, space, and money is conserved. And as other cities have

already done, New York should explore the possibility of deploying electrical substations beneath public spaces. This conserves immensely valuable land, and allows for greater security and reliability. Such policies would lead to much more effi cient, profi table use of immensely valuable land—while maintaining supplies of secure, reliable power, provided by an electrical infrastructure that continues to recede from public sight. In a 2008 study, Hope Cohen, Deputy Director, Center for Rethinking Development wrote “People don’t like ugly, scary substa-tions near them. But substations don’t have to be ugly and scary. And they do need to be nearby.”

ACADEMIC: Thesis, Spring 2011

PROGRAM: Hybrid Subway Stations

In the 1950s, oil exploration in the Azerbaijan area turned towards the sea as it has in China. There, the Soviets built oil platforms and created small fl oating cities to support its laborers. This typology creates a better working environment for offshore employees, combining civic centers with offi ces and residences. This model can work in other areas. In China, the New Caofeidian area, which spans roughly 60 sq km, has recently been planned as an artifi cial island chain and land reclamation project, as well as a converted and concentrated economic development zone within the Bohai Bay, a rapidly expanding industrial and commerce area in Northern China. It is also a site of large scale drilling and energy extraction.

In standard construction, fl at fl oor plates are built and then progressivel infi lled with units. However, the modular nature of housing does not need to follow this logic. The module here is a prismatic frame that is independently stable. It is repeated to create a space frame that gives the building great rigidity. One, two, and three bedroom units are created out of aggregations of one, two or three of these frames, which are then aggregated into blocks. Circulation on the site is entirely exterior to the building- a strip of public park runs down the center of the site joining a an arboretum to the west with the train station to the east. From this central corridor, a series of switchbacks naturally formed by the geometry of the module allow gallery access to each of the units.

The intersection of a light rail line, a highway, a strip of park, an overpass, and a strip mall, creates an opportunity to create a gateway into south Boston. The form of a gateway is tipped forwards to create an inhabitable building. This tipping creates a different experience of the site as one drives into or out of the area- from the one vantage, the building is a gradually sloping frame on the road, and from the other, a more open civic gesture. Programs include offi ces for mass transit maintenance, a park conservation program, an art mural program, and a youth jobs program at the base of the structure. Each program has a substantial corresponding art exhibition placed at the top of the structure. These advertise to visitors the museum space above.

A parametric system for creating catenary curved surfaces was creating using the tension based cloth simulations of a physics solver. Each initial sheet is pinned at three to four points, and the sheet is allowed to fl ex. This creates the curvature of each shell, and is fully animat-able. In order to panelize the structure, a script was written in Modo which takes each panel and creates each surrounding mullion. The result was unfolded, fl attened, laser cut, and assembled. The catenary structure is inherently stable, and lends itself well to shell structures.

The Johnson and Johnson Pavillion built for the Beijing Olympics housed exhibits on encompassing the subject of aging within the Chinese populace. Each of these exhibits, a mix of fl at artwork, sculpture, and video installations, required different lighting levels. In order to vary exposure to natural daylight, a super graphic was cut from translucent plastics and applied to the glazing system. I worked on this graphic independently, and also managed the production of 1:20 presentation models. This building won the 2009 China’s Most Successful Design Award, and is featured in its annual catalog. I was responsible for the elevation design and models.

Located in upstate New York, the residence is perched at the top of a cliff, capturing a clear view of the valley below at the back. At the front, the entry is secluded amongst several interior trees. Inside, the ceiling is made up of a series of geometrically dynamic panels that defi ne the living spaces. From the beginning of design, it was clear that the cantilevers of the stacked volumes would require a technically complex solution, and much care was taken to integrate structural and mechanical systems in as tight a package as possible. I was responsible for design development and construction documents under project manager Josh Uhl. Renderings were done by David Jaubert.

To impose demands for tabula rasa, sustainable master planning would be missing the target for 90% of all urban developments. Most urban projects deal with transformations of existing neighborhoods, from industrial to urban, rather than developments of entirely virgin sites. The project begins with the perimeter block typology common to all Scandinavian cities, and proposes a set of zoning regulations based on environmental principals. The block is shaped by daylight exposure and heating gains studied by Arup. The aim is to optimize general con-ditions, rather than starting from scratch.These ideas are driven by technical capabilities and functional demands and are free to improve and evolve as habits change and technologies improve during Helsinki’s gradual development.

Danish architects BIG have won a competition to design a centrefor research, education and training about women’s sports inMalmo, Sweden.

Called The World Village of Women Sports, the project is conceivedas a series of buildings of varying size with sloping roofs,alternating with open spaces.

The main hall will be able to accommodate football matches,concerts, conferences, exhibitions and markets.

“Considering the special requirements of women of all cultures andall ages, special attention has been given, to provide the sportsvillage with a feeling of intimacy and well being often lacking in themore masculine industrial-style sports complexes that are more likefactories for physical exercise, than temples for body and mind.”Bjarke Ingels, Partner-In-Charge, BIG

The central hall is large enough to accommodate professionalfootball matches as well as concerts, conferences, exhibitions andflea markets. Rather than being an introverted sports arena shut offfrom the surrounding city – it appears like an open and welcomingpublic space, visible from all of the surrounding streets –generously offering its interior life to the passers-by. The pedestriannetwork around the main sports hall plugs into the surroundingstreet networks as well as the interior galleries of Kronprinsen,turning it into a complete ecosystem of urban life.

“The WVOWS fuses high levels of ambition within public space andprivate accommodation, living and working, health and recreation,sport and culture. Like a village rather than sports complex itmerges the modern utopianism of the neighboring Kronprinsenwith the intimate scale and specificity of the nearby historical citycenter of Malmo.” Bjarke Ingels, Partner-In-Charge, BIG

“From the main football field at its heart, to the gyms andauditoria, from the handball halls of the university to thelaboratories of the health facility, it is an entire village committedto sport.” Nanna Gyldholm Moller, Project Leader, BIG

The winning design was chosen among five submissions by a jury,comprised of the founder and main financier of the World Villageof Women Sports, Kent Widding Persson, the co-founder andentrepreneur Maarten Hedlund, City of Malmo Architect,IngemarGraahamn and Architects Mats Jacobson and Cecilia Hanssontogether with representatives from the City of Malmo.

“BIGs design places great emphasis on architecture tailored towomen with an unconstrained atmosphere and a feeling of well-being. The architects see the WVOWS as a town within a townrather than just a sports complex. The decisive factor has been theholistic approach and the overall impression of the design – theability to interact with the neighborhood and environment, andcreating attractive housing and functions at the same time.” MatsJacobson, Jury Member, WVOWS

Composed as a village rather than a sports complex the WVOWScombines individual buildings with a variety of uses with openspaces and public gardens.

The sloping roofscapes and alternating building volumes providethe complex with the varying identity of a small village thusreducing its scale to the adjacent neighborhood.
