The Rain and The Ritual - Imagining Temple Tank and Agriculture TankAT THE CROSSING

PennDesign:[Individual Work]

Instructor:Location:

Jan-May, 2015

Anuradha Mathur702 Elective Studio

Udupi, India

My own way to understand the Western Ghats is by understanding how water traverses from the ghats to the sea: the rain comes from the ghats, going through different water systems and finally ends in the sea. The process can be reinterpretated as a system of overflow and holding.The temple stepped tank is one kind of system holding water, and the water holding ritual activities, ritual festivals; agriculture tank provides cultivated land with different kinds of crops, food, flowers, that are used in ritual festivals. These two types of tanks are separated in the system, but creating overflow condition can bring them together, that means bring the materials into the events.

A lot of tanks disappeared because development took place there, for example one agriculture tank in Bangalore became a huge bus station. However, tanks are not lakes, they are a hierarchical overflowing system, water overflows from one tank to another, a single tank disappearing will change how water flows in the whole system.

I go deep into the idea of creating overflow condition to splice cultivation into the ritual, and splice the material into the events in a territory which is at the crossing of the ritual and the rain.Design idea is inserting embankments, which can change the landscape subtly and catche the rain for the land to be cultivated, and then creating different wetness for different plants. Then, the cultivation typologies which are taken from the initial study of different water systems, create hybrids for different plants.

Neighborhood Development Design in North PhiladelphiaERASING THE BOUNDARY

PennDesign:Instructor:Location:

Aug-Dec, 2013

Christopher Marcinkoski601 Core Studio

North Philadelphia

North philadelphia is a less developed area in the city, even though it has great resouces like fairmount park, adjacency to center city and so on. I think this is because there are several boundaries that block north philly from valuable areas. So to develop north philly, erasing boundaries is an starting point.

My project is about erasing the 3 existing boundaries in Brewerytown, which are Girard Ave, 33rd St and rail corridor, by incorporating and reinforcing 3 pushes of market pressure from Fairmount, latent amenity from Park and undeserved population from east.

I focus on the development of public realm and the development sequence. The develpment happens first because of the new park loop, which starts from the community and goes into riverfront in the park. It will break the boundary between park and community, then will attract more investments to the site. Then the development will happen along the interface, for example, the new mixed-use building, transformed mixed-use building, new apartments, urban plazas and community gardens as well as transformation of streetscape.

The park loop will connect Brewerytown neighborhood and Fairmount park, which is currently seperated by the 31st street, and is not accessible in this area; the community anchor includes a mixed-use building, an urban plaza, which can attract peope from the east area to this site; the interface means development then happen along the 29th street, including streetscape transformation, new apartments, mixed-used buildings, urban planzas and community gardens; then, at the end of the interface, a vacant building will be transformed into a station, which can activate the site further.

Nicholas Pevzner602 Elective Studio

San Diego, California

Cause cities in California are fast growing, they require more energy, and the projected requirement for new resources will be 59.9 GW in 2050. 75 percent will come from in-state generation plants, of which more than 35% will be renewable energy. The renewable energy potential map shows wind and solar energy are most in southwest California. And the largest increasing of import capacity will come from Desert southwest.

The three drivers for urban expansion- transportation, water projects, renewable energy extraction, are also the causes for habitat fragmentation in California. California need a north-south habitat corridor to link fragmented habitat, and it also will be a buffer to prevent urban sprawling into natural land.

My proposal is to build a system to combine the north-south transmission corridor and north-south habitat corridor, not only because they are both geographically located in the interface of urban and wildland, but also they can use the same amount of land, where transmission easement gives opportunities for building habitat linkages.

A Conceptual Framework for Sokolniki Park in Next 15 YearsTEA PARTY MATRIX

Turenscape:Team Leader:Teammates:Location: Moscow, Russia

Jun-Aug, 2014

Kongjian YuSokolniki Park Design Competition

Stanley Lung, Emeline Lin, Suzanne Mahoney

The international competition called for a conceptual framework for Sokolniki Park’s development — the main focus of the competition — will include decisions on urban planning, landscape design, programming the use of space, and economic feasibility.Our team's concept - “Tea Party Matrix”, is a living mechanism that links the past, present, and future of the Sokolniki Park. The park development will integrate the ritual of Russian tea culture in a forward-thinking design interpretation, as the pioneering vision to guide the park’s 2030 Masterplan.

The superimposition of all the designed layers forms a living mechanism: a sustainable urban park ecosystem that regulates the resiliency of the site’s ecology, eventuality, and economy. This “Tea Party Matrix,” designed uniquely for the Sokolniki Park, aims to reconnect the intimate natural environment, to reveal fragmentsof cultural heritage, and to reunite heterogeneous programs as one holistic park.

Our proposal won the 3rd place in the competition. I was envolved in the whole process, from developing concept, meeting with Sokolniki representatives through Skype, generating design approached, to drawing plans, diagrams rendering and model making, etc. And I enjoyed and learned a lot from cooperating with teammates, talking about ideas with Kongjian Yu and translating and coordinating between international teammates and Chinese project managers.

Harbin , China

Hanan new industrial city in Harbin is a case under the trend of fast urban expansion in China. The site is located in the core area of Hanan new industrial city in Harbin. I considered the site in district context and integrate ecological sustainability, space experience, aesthetic,etc. together in the park system by modification of topography, which can activate different kinds of activities and experiential feelings.

I proposed to utilize and transforme the existing landfrom in order to turn it from disadvantage to the high light.The water catchment route, water collection channel and recreational spaces are all based on topography, which is the core of this design.

Study the Computational Flow Dynamic and Prametric SoftwaresPARAMETRIC DESIGN & DIGITAL FABRICATION

PennDesign:Instructor:Teammates: Muhan Cui, Zhuangyuan Fan

Jul-Dec, 2014

Keith VandersyElective Course: Simulated Nature

In the 3D modeling practice as showed in this page, I built the computer model using Rhino and Grasshopper, with the knowledge of Panelling tools, 3D morph, etc, to apply different types of deformed units on to the surfaces. Then run the Drainage simulation with grasshopper definition to see how the water flows on the surface.Then, I use the CNC mill to make the physical model.

In the design project as showed in the next page, I explored the potential of computational flow dynamic and parametric software to develop design responses from generative data analysis. These advanced digital tools enable the visualization of complex physical processes which typically lay outside of our immediate apprehension.

Then we generated the design project by conputational water flow analysis and wind analysis, using Grasshopper, Rhino, Maya, Ecotect, etc. In response to these uncovered complexities, we developed a series of “land-art” interventions that dynamically register and reconfigure the endemic landscape. Unlike our land art predecessors,however, our imaginative interventions will use biosynthetic responses which explicitly intermingle natural and technological materials. These are meant to be utility-scale didactic interventions and instruments located in a public space.

We produced a series of strategic fluid (air and water) visualizations and digital prototypes. Air and water flow simulations (digital) will help each group develop an approach for the reorganization of the existing site. Then generated series of plans as the landscape is changing all the time and the outcomes are predictable to a great extent.
