LIVEWORK INCUBATOR . Spring 2010

In the second-year design track, the last project has historically been devoted to the NCMA competition [National Concrete Masonry Association]. This internal competition [Penn State only] is sponsored by the NCMA in the form of scholarships and a trip to Penn College of Technology for a workshop on building with concrete masonry products.

This project has strict guidelines for final presentation and the review is a silent process, which is conducted by an outside jury. Basically we, the faculty, have no input into who wins. You will not have an opportunity to present your project nor explain your design ideas and concepts. The boards have to speak for themselves!

NCMA rules specify that all drawings and plots must be mounted onto three rigid boards 24” x 36”. Individual boards must be oriented so that their long edge is horizontal. The boards must be stacked vertically to create a final presentation board that is 36” wide and 72” high. Also required is a physical model. Submissions that do not meet these requirements will be disqualified.

In addition, since the NCMA is the primary sponsor, your project MUST incorporate concrete masonry as an integral aspect of the design.

LIVEWORK INCUBATOR The National Concrete Masonry Association [NCMA] Competition

The separation of living and working is a modern day phenomenon. A consideration of history reveals that people generally lived where they worked, or at least within walking distance; piece work was done in the home, workshops were integral to housing complexes and factories built worker’s housing. The arrival of metropolitan rail service and the automobile led to the Garden City [Ebenezer Howard], American Suburbia and the physical separation of living and working. If we consider the immense global environmental crisis caused in part by our commuting structure and the necessity to move toward sustainable design and sustainable urbanism; then a [re]thinking of the separation between living and working must occur.

Competition

SITE[Gansevoort Street - W Little 12th Street] and 9th AvenueThe Gansevoort Market District as a place of dwelling, industry and commerce [specifically as a marketplace], has historically been a highly mixed use area of the city. In the early 1900’s infrastructral improvements, including Union Terminal and the elevated freight railway, transformed the historical produce market into a slaughterhouse and meatpacking commercial hub. Throughout the twentieth century, the loft and warehouse building typologies and the high levels of connectivity within the district have also accommodated a wide variety of commercial, manufacturing and industrial functions. Recent transformations including a notorious club scene, an influx of high-end boutiques and cafes, and an increased residential component, have generated an incredibly vibrant neighborhood.

The Gansevoort District’s urban structure is particularly noteworthy; the district lies at the juncture of the irregular Dutch grid and the rigorously orthogonal grid of the 1811 Commissioner’s Plan. The convergence of the two grids generates unusually large and open intersections allows for extensive vistas of the district.

Each student will be responsible for documenting the site conditions. At a minimum your documentation will include photographs, a site plan, a site section and a detailed site model with adequate context [at least 4 blocks].

Consider the history, age, use and materiality of the surrounding buildings and context. Analyze and document visual axes and circulation paths [including pedestrian, private and public transportation]. You should also document specifics of the site that you find particularly interesting or relevant to the design project.

Site Visit and Documentation

LIVEWORKThe goal of this project is to create and design a LIVEWORK Incubator that challenges the modern separation of living and working.

Interestingly innovation, research and academic environments provide the beginnings of such a LIVEWORK structure. New York University currently has almost 80 research centers and institutes that are central to both their academic programs, and their cultural environment. These facilities are currently solely for research and education; however we propose that the University’s next research center will be a LIVEWORK Incubator. The Incubator will allow visiting professors, phd researchers and graduate students an innovative environment in which to live and work.

[Re]Thinking the INCUBATOR

Design Approaches_Explore and consider alternatives to the modern separation between living and working._Design the spaces to enhance the interaction and foster research agendas._Explore the boundary/threshold between private and public space._Generate organizational strategies for the building and site that choreograph movement, conform to ADA and sequentially organize space._Consider tectonics, materiality, texture and finish in relation to activity and site._Engage the urban context, explore the relationship of the building to the district and to the city._Consider how environment, light, natural materials, form, etc. might lead to a heathier, more sustainable building.

PROgRAM ELEMENTS

Commercial and other support spaces may also be incorporated depending on your design and selected research group.

Notes

All program square footages do not include area for structure and circulation. Circulation must be included and must be fully ADA/ Universal Design compliant. Circulation is generally 20% of the building program area, while for load bearing walls you should calculate another 10%. Be aware of egress requirements.

The following means of egress components accessible to the public shall comply with Chapter 10 of the International Building Code.

StairsStair treads shall be a minimum of 11 in. deep with risers a maximum of 7 in. high for any portion of the stairs accessible to the public. Neither treads nor risers shall deviate more than 0.375 in. over the entire run of the stairs. “Demonstration stairs” may use 10-in minimum treads and 7.75-in maximum risers in accordance with IRC Section 311. “Demonstrator” spiral stairs shall comply with IRC. Ladders or stairs steeper geometries may be provided as “demonstrators” but the design tram should be aware that United States building codes typically do not permit their use to habitable spaces (IBC. Sec. 1009.3 and IRC. Sec R311.5)

HandrailsHandrails shall be provided on both sides of stairs or ramps used by the public. All handrails shall be designed in accordance with IBC Chapter 10. (IBC, 1009.11)

APPENdIx

Means of Egress

Two fundamental principles for Accessibility Choice: Persons with disabilities must be given a range of options for seating and ticket prices and their ability to see the event must be equivalent to all patrons. Integration: Persons with disabilities must be accommodated in ways that integrate them with other researches and must not be segregated in designated areas.

Accessible RouteAn accessible route shall be provided within the unit to all spaces accessible to the public. Accessible routes shall be designed in accordance with Regulation 10.1 in the Rules and Regulations. Other accessible features may be included in rooms such as kitchens and bathrooms at the discretion of the designers. If any of the features are intended for use by the public, they shall be accessible. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires an elevator to be installed in buildings where an accessible route is required to stories above the first floor.

Accessibility – RampsThe following are the most important regulations regarding ramps: _The slope cannot exceed 1:12 _60-in. (152.4 cm) landings are required at the top and bottom of the ramp _Handrails are required if the ramp’s rise exceeds 6 in. (15.2 cm). [American Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG), Sec.4.8]

Changes In ElevationAll changes in elevation (including even minor changes in areas such as door thresholds) must be considered along an accessible route. Changes not exceeding 0.25 in. (0.635 cm) are acceptable. Elevation changes between 0.25 in. (0.635 cm) and 0.5 in. (1.27 cm) shall be beveled at a maximum of 1:2. Any higher change in elevation shall be by a ramp with a maximum slope of 1:12. (ADAAG, Sec. 4.5.2)

Doors and Door ApproachesAll doors shall comply with ADAAG Section 4.13. Doors that can be fixed in an open position may be accepted as part of the accessible route if 32-in. (81.3 cm) minimum clearance is provided through the door opening with the door secured in the fully open position. (ADAAG, Sec. 4.13).
