Undergraduate Thesis/spring 2010

A Student Center for UNAM Professors: R. Bolaos, M. Nocedal, H. Quirz.With a student population of more than 200,000 students, the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) is one of the biggest universities in the world. Its campus Ciudad Universitaria is considered one of the most important Mexican architectural projects from the last century and recently acquired the status of world heritage site. However, being built in the 50s for a student population of 25,000 students, its campus became quickly overwhelmed. Without building up the necessary infrastructure for the expanding student population in campus, the sorrounding areas transformed into informal commercial zones. The once habitational areas next to campus quickly became an off- campus extension of the school. Urban Datascapes tries to provide much needed infrastructure for the schools campus, in order to enable students to get a proper educational experience. It tries to revitalize the decadent urban areas next to campus, enabling the creation of a college town. The project is the result of several use and occupational studies carried out among the student population. The findings helped to understand how students move around campus, how they get to campus, and how they use the spaces in campus. Urban Datascapes aims to provide a heterogenous space to properly serve the diverse student population. It tries to create student interaction that doesnt currently exist. Generative methods were created in order to relate the projects spatial conception to a complex network of social, environmental and material forces. The project questions the campus urban and architectural modernist principles, and re-thinks the Matbuilding concept.

Since the creation of the subway stations next to Campus, the adjacent urban areas were completely transformed. Studies carried during the project estimated that 95% of the 200,000 students use public transportation to get to campus. Most of these students have to go through the Copilco neighborhood. During the past 15 years, 40% of the neighborhood illegally transformed into mix use or commercial establishments. The transformations in the neighborhood also attracted informal vendors that already took over the areas public space. The area between the Campus limits and the subway station turned into an informal extension of campus, providing all the services and infrastructure the campus lacks of. The studies performed found out that the lack of campus infrastructure transformed the educational experience. Rather than performing all the college activities in campus, most of the students only spend the neccesary time for classes in campus, avoiding social interaction and knowledge exchange. The site for the proposed student center was chosen after rigurous pedestrian flows studies. It is situated in the areas with more intense pedestrian flow. The center is an educational and urban proposal, both providing institutional study spaces and re-organizing the sorrounding public and private transportation systems. It will be a link between the campus internal transportation systems and urban transportation systems, thus creating a new relationship between the city and the campus.

The student center is proposed as mat building that will both create a new public space on the street level and more located services in the underground levels. The design aknowledges the diversity of the users needs, providing faster pedestrian routes between campus and public transportation systems, and creating leisure spaces. After carefully mapping the influence every commercial establishment has on pedestrian flows, a series of shortest path simulations were carried out. A system that combined the attractor force of every establishment, the number of students passing by each area, and the minimum distances between campus and transportation infrastructure was created. The simulations generated a system of shortest paths that showed up the areas where social spaces were formed. The models obtained directly influenced the student centers morphology, differentiating the street levels suface to create gathering and leisure areas in located zones. The morphological transformations are related to the environmental characteristics and social events occuring in the field. The centers morphology provides a heterogenous space that will endure the constant use transformations of the area, and will allow a wide range activities for the student population.

Current site conditions have transformed the area into an almost entirely pedestrian zone. Vehicular traffic is restricted in the area to allow the creation of the center. Only neighbors, emergency and service vehicles can transit in the designated lines. Underground parking lots are created to provide a solution to current traffic problems; at the same time parking lot profits help to economically sustain the center. The student center is also a multi-modal station that re-defines the campus relationship with the rest of the city. Bike rental stations, bus and taxi stations are part of the center. The center extends in the areas that represent higher pedestrian flow. The surfaces morphology is the result of the centers spatial necessities and of the sorrounding social, economical and environmental datascapes. While some areas will serve leisure purposes, others provide outdoor performance spaces or outdoor food consumption areas. The center is designed for the changing conditions in the areas uses and is the result of a complex network of field conditions.

Small Scale Modularity Professor: R. ChoksombatchaiSnakes vertebral column systems consist of numerous vertebrae that bear long, movable ribs. The systems dynamic capabilities allow the snake to perform its daily functions; the systems transformations are fundamental to activities such as feeding and movement. Movable ribs form part of a system that transforms according to existing stress; forces are then transmitted along the entire system. I was interested in developing a system of interconnected modular units that would be able to continuously transform according to the forces applied to it. Like the snakes skeletal system, my explorations seek to become a diagram of its forces. The exploration of the systems multi-dimensional performative capabilities was carried out in a series of stages. First, the systems surface response was tested out through experimentation with different force variables. After recognizing the systems behavior towards different forces, I looked for different matter optimization states. These states represented a diagram of the forces applied and acquired structural capabilities through force transmission among the system. Further experimentation was carried out with different system configurations, adding them up and obtaining more complex configurations. The explorations carried out tried to obtain a system capable of creating complex material effects and defining spatial characteristics.

Force is transmitted along the systems core, modifying the entire system. Structural stability is created by applying opposing forces. Apart from structural explorations, the systems capacity to define different spatial qualities was mapped. Spatial effects, like light transmission, were further explored at larger scales.

The snake chair is a further exploration of the systems structural capacity and its material organization. It further explores the systems dynamic capacities and its ability to transform according to the forces applied. The chair was generated from one of the structurally stable system configurations previously found. This configuration allows the system to adapt to different body weights and body shapes, while maintaining its stuctural capacity.

Snake House/San Francisco, CA/Arch101/FA2008The Snake House is the final step in the series of modular explorations. It tests out both the structural capacity and material effects of the system at a bigger scale. The sites steepness was used as a starting point for spatial organization. Site conditions were treated as a force field that informed the systems development. Site views and programmatic/environmetal requirements were the major forces acting on the system. A work/live space was proposed. The variability encountered in the spaces allows multiple activities to occur in the same space, thus enabling the existance of both programs. An infinite circulation weaves both programs together, creating social spaces in the pathways intersections. These blend spaces provide a gradient of environmental conditions that allows infinite occupation modes.

The system folds in variable ways responding to the field of environmental foces (views, sunlight). It allows a wide range of activities in the rooms. The system of floor surface is pulled by the forces applied on the walls and roofs systems. It provides stability to the system. The system folds to block southern sun, and it allows northern light. The system folds to allow privacy. The double layered wall system created provides different privacy gradients along the rooms space.

The wall system opens up to the southern views, while blocking southern sun.

The newly created topography has the capacity to collect and channel water precipitation that will be later used in the house.3

Each space responds to particular forces and parameters. Some spaces emphasize particular site views, while others provide more privacy or natural lighting. The combination of their particular morphologies generates a more complex whole; systems interact with each other creating diverse material effects.

ThurdnampetchBreathing wall explores the capabilities of responsive systems. We were interested in the breathing processes and the reactions that take place in the alveolis. During inspiration, air enters the lungs. Alveoli get filled with oxygen, and the rib cage expands. Alveolis have the capacity to inflate at different degrees according to the oxygen needs. We were interested in creating a system that would be able to block sound waves transmission between California College of the Arts classrooms. We also explored the systems capacities to differentiate spatial conditions. Similarly, our system inflates and deflates according to environmental stimulus. The air trapped inside the system has the capacity to isolate sound waves. The everchanging surface formed by the balloons absorbs the soundwaves. The transforming surface patterns create a broad range of lighting effects. The system and the surfaces pattern can be calibrated in order to block or allow light during particular seasons. The system behaves in a non-linear way, as the inflation and surface generation depend not only on the individual clusters inflation, but it is also dependant on the interactions with other balloon clusters and their particular inflation degree. For this project, I originated the digital and surface patterning explorations. I also played a major role in the development of the air regulation systems for physical model.

Situated in Daingerfield Island, a decadent urban park next to Ronald Reagan National Airport in the DC Metropolitan Area, the project seeks to revitalize the area and create a much needed recreational space for the region. Form responds to site and programmatic forces. It is comprised of a system of folded surfaces. The folded system bends where major forces act upon it, creating a changing interior space. It follows four main conditions: sitting on the system, walking under the system, containing water, and creating a direct relationship with the water sorrounding the project. The pleading system is used to transform water flows inside the pools, creating different moods and spatial qualities. The final form seeks to create a relationship between the urban park and the adjacent Potomac river. It creates gathering places along strategic site points, framing views to the sorrounding monuments (Jefferson Memorial, Washington Monument).

Recent natural disasters that occurred in Mexican territory produced numerous human and material losses. The poorest people are particularly susceptible to this tragedies. The emergent refuge provides immediate shelter to people affected by natural disasters. Mexicos accidented topography and sometimes insufficient infrastructure makes these areas inaccessible. The emergent refuge was designed to be easily transported and assembled under any circumstances. The emergent refuge is a re-invention of current camping tents. It is the result of a material exploration that looked for affordable and durable materials that would be easily produced with Mexican resources. While providing a temporary shelter during natural disasters, the refuge was designed to eventually turn into infrastructure, once the site has been rebuilt.

The systems flexibility makes it possible to transform into infrastructure. More permanent proposed uses are sheltered corridors, bus stops, and vending kiosks.7

New proposal for Infante D. Henry Av. generates new public spaces.

Lisbon, PortugalInternational CompetitionLisbon Cruise Terminal seeks to re-activate the citys economy by creating much needed tourism infrastructure. The project is located next to Lisbons downtown and next to some of the oldest city districts. It was conceived as the center of a public transportation hub that will connect visitors to the rest of the city. The buildings serves as a visual connection between the city and the river. The design adapts to the citys steep terrain, enabling spectacular views. The final formal development resulted from the interactions between programmatic requirements and a direct site relationship. The roofs surfaces form spaces with different qualities underneath. The terminal creates a public space that would allow visitors to experience the different outdoor spaces created. Different restaurants, cafes and shops complete the newly created public space. In this project, I was in charge of formal explorations, relating site conditions to the buildings morphology. I developed material effects explorations and conceptual diagrams.
