Lloyds Insurance suggests a series of both structural building

adaptations and additive tools for adaptation. To protect the ground

and basement floors of buildings, Lloyds suggests an inflatable

building seal. This will allow buildings to keep their ground floors intact, but the seal will deploy in times of flooding (this is perhaps not

the most effective means of protection, but it is a temporary solution).

If the basement is removed, two foundation methods can replace the

existing situation: the Floating Building and the Skate Park Foundation.

The Floating Building utilizes pontoons to support it. Anchored

underground, the floating foundation can rise and lower based on

water levels incurred by flooding. The Skate park foundation utilizes

a skate ramp as a resilient form of concrete construction that can be

easily drained after a major storm. Canals would be built to the edgesof sidewalks, sloped towards the coast lines so water successfully

flows out of the city. The land would be elevated toward the center of

each block, moving water away from buildings so it can be carried out

towards Manhattans bordering rivers.

To further protect the building, the owners install a sea wall. This seawall also acts as a great spectacle for the restaurant goers on the

interior of the building. Waves splash up against the sea wall, providing

a sensation of being at sea. A massive sea wall protects the building

VIDEO: GLADYS AND GEOFF

Two other students and I compiled a video of our research from the

summer workshop in New York and Joburg. Our video told the story of

two inspiring people, Geoff who works on Bree Street in Joburg and

Gladys, a nurse who works outside the city, but lives in the city center.

We journeyed with Geoff to the Joburg Fresh Market to purchase pro-

duce for his stand, and we visited Gladys in her apartment that she has

lived in for over 20 years. Both of them have watched Joburg change

drastically over the last two decades.

Object Lessons:

Light Flux

Critic: Mabel Wilson

Columbia University GSAPP: Core II Studio

[Spring 2012]


104/240

SINGLE UNIT: The File Tab

We each chose an everyday object (purchaseable in large quantities)

to aggregate and develop into a larger system. I used a typical file tab,which I imposed upon it, a new form. By simply folding the tab into a

peak, the tab became more rigid.

THE JOINT

I used clear rubberbands to join the individual units together. Looped

around each end of the tab and across the length of the tab, I was able

to flexibly adhere multiple units together.

AGGREGATION

The joint I designed allowed for aggregation end-to-end, as well as

side-to-side. Capitalizing on both of these joints, the final aggregated

system is self-supportive, compresses and expands, and creates vary-

ing results as it moves in the light.

LIGHT FLUX


105/240

TWISTTwisting generates a new patterning for the system. The linearity isbroken up, surfaces overlap, and new color gradients are created.

The strength of the construct is tested as it rotates against the

grain of the system.


106/240

EXPAND

A flexible, alternating joint system allows for the construct to expand

and compress. As the object compresses, colors overlap and transition

from blue to iridescent purple. The aggregation becomes denser and

more stratified. The rigidity of the joints and material strength allows

for the system to support itself in an expanded position.


107/240

BENDBending compresses the system along one side and expands it to its

limits along the opposing side. The flexibility of the material is tested as

it is both compressed and stretched at the same time. Lines along the

system orient themselves radially.


108/240


109/240

FILTER

As the system is moved and manipulated through twisting, bending and

folding, light is filtered differently. Patterns of shading appear with each

crease in the construct with the application of a steady system of light.

With more directed light, the visibility of the light source becomes more

apparent, however the density of the system still shows shading and

layering in the system.


110/240

TWIST

The construct twists with the help of pivoting joints between the mod-

ules. Double length modules create rigidity, defining the shape of the

twist. This movement creates three dimensionality in the system. As

layers overlap upon each other, light becomes filtered creating unique

variations of shading.


111/240

SHEER GLOWWithout directed light, the system seems opaque. As light is placed

behind or in front, the construct glows. The variation in the size of

pyramids changes the translucency of the construct creating hierarchy

within the system.

Used to straighten out edges of the concreteto meet up smoothly with aggregated benches.Threaded rods are fed through the holes to link

the top plywood piece to the base.

Portland cement is mixed with water, glassfibers and black pigment, then is poured intothe silicone mold.

Two different silicone molds were alternatelyused for the making of the benches. the flexiblemolds are lowered onto the unique cardboardwaffles below.

30 unique carboard waffle supports were lasercut, assembled and used as supports for thesilicone mold above.

The plywood base helps keep the mold systemstabilized. holes secure the threaded rods thatkeep the mold system vertically aligned.

THE CASTING PROCESS


173/240

The fabrication of the benches included an intensive four hour process

per bench. For the production of our final installation we assembled intoteams of three people working three shifts per week for three weeksto produce a total of 30 benches. Our carefully designed mold systemallowed the process to go relatively smoothly. We kept careful track ofexact ratios of portland cement, water, glass fibers for reinforcing andblack concrete pigment to achieve a gradation of concrete hues.

CONCRETE IS LEFT TO DRY IN ITS CURVED FORM

We tagged each bench with its number ID after curing and being

removed from the mold. Since each bench has a unique curve, it wasessential that we know their exact orientation and placement withinthe continuous topography. Simultaneously teams were cutting andbending steel bars for the legs of the benches that would be cut andassembled later on-site.

Alarge scale wall is built up along the entire existing utility right-away,however it merely fills in where the topography lowers, rather thanbeing built at the same height across the land. In the case of a largescale lahar flow, lahar will be slowed in the river valleys, and will poolin the uninhabited landscape, rather than move forward into the townsbelow.

3. STOREFRONT GLAZING SYSTEM

GROUND FLOOR ENVELOPE:

THREE SYSTEMS

To create the illusion of a glass box seemingly floating in space, the

ground floor cladding system is intentionally designed in contrast to

the minimal curtain wall system. There are three systems for the ground

floor cladding - a floor to ceiling storefront system, a punch window

system and a precast concrete panel system.

The ground floor takes advantage of a perimeter heating system that

runs along the storefront system beneath ground level. Cold and hot

water runs through fin tube radiators to generate tempered air that

rises above aluminum grills along the storefront, reducing condensation

on the glazing.

SCENARIO:

In the future the air will be so polluted in dense urban areas that

growing concern about pollution, the concern for overall body health

has grown as well. Can a physical garment help mediate the dangers

of the exterior environment, provide immune support against possible

ailments, and help physically support our aging bodies?

A Brick for Dharavi

= Structure

= Infrastructure?

Today, rapidly deployable cast modules like a CMU block can only

provide structural support to the communities in which they are

implemented. Is there a modification to the simple cast module that can

extend its performance to provide infrastructural support? Can a form

small enough to be carried into hyperdense informal settlements also

be engineered to move water and waste through them?

This intervention takes into account that 4 out of 10 people worldwide

dont have any access to sanitation. It sites itself in Dharavi, Mumbai,

which has one of the highest concentrations of humans on the planet,

and yet there is no plumbing, running water, or toilets of any kind.

Traditional latrines, usually built with concrete block are not designed

to move waste, contributing to the spread of contagions in these

populations.

This project challenges the current solution by distributing a latrine

along an interior street through Dharavi, creating a public restroom

facility and provisional sewer system, both constructed out of concrete

modules.
