Design is the method of putting form and content together. Design, just as art,

has multiple definitions, there is no single definition. Design can be art. Design

can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that’s why it is so complicated

1: Cube Difference Project

In our Arch 3609 Integrated Software in the Architectural Office class our overall goal was to create a portfolio. In the process of creating our portfolio we were given material to work with. Our Professor Loukia Tsafoulia aided the class and demonstrated some commands in Rhino and other softwares through out the semester. In this particular project we were asked to experiment with some com-mands in Rhino. The commands that we learn were Boolean difference,Boolean In-tersection, Boolean Split, and Boolean Union. In the diagram below I only used the Boolean Difference command to get my end result.

Step 1:We started out with a cube and then add-ed spheres on the corners of the cube, so then we can subtract them and end up with a cut out of the cube.

Step 2:We continue our process of adding spheres and using the Boolean command to subtract the spheres from the cube’s surface. I also used the polar array command to aid me in adding multiple spheres.

Step 3:In this step I added more shperes. Howev-er this time I enlargered them so I would be able to curve out more of the remain-ing shape of the cube. What I was left with was with a very interesting shape.

2:Bustling Vacancy Project

In the beginning of the semester our Professor Loukia Tsafoulia introduced us to a project. The project was set in a empty New York City lot. Our goal, to design an open air exhibition. The design of our exhibition needed to come from rules extracted from maps and data extracted from information based on NYC activity

The project was broken down to three phases of design and research. The first phase of the project consisted of designing four Architectural Elements.The Architecural elememts were: Stairs, Atriums, Corridors, and Walls. We were to design six studies for each category totaling twenty four studies. The second phases of the project was to assemble visualized patterns of noise, circulation, behaviours, metro enterance, subway lines etc. Our goal was to find a pattern based on the data we decided to pursue and set rules for ourselves. The third phases was to design our open air exhibition based on the information we obtained for our pattern map research. We were required to set our rules and design based off that and the data gained for the research.

2.0: Experimental Radial Forms: Stairs

As I apporached this design project I kept one thing in mind simplicity. I aimed to keep the concept simple, I focused on the center point. From that point I developed different forms of stairs. using mirroring, rotating, and array com-mands I was able to achieve my goal.

2.1: Experimental Radial Forms: Corridor

For the corridor designs I kept the same concept of the center point being where the element begins to grow from. Here I also began to incorporate enclosed space and circulation to the design.

2.3: Experimental Radial Forms: Walls

In these designs I really experimented with wall thickness and orientation of the walls. So I can provied unique spaces and keep the forms true. Designing off the nature of the walls and its natural orientation.

3.0 Pattern Map Analysis:

After designing my elements my next goal was to extract information from New York City. Using a map of the five boroughs of New York City I decided to look into the train lines. I experimented with the maps in Photoshop and illustrator.

Here I experimented with the map to extract a sense of density to relate to number of metro enterances.

In this map, we see the number of metro entrances we have in NYC.


14

Here we have a map showing us the trains the are above ground and trains that are underground. The above ground stations are in black and the subway lines are in gray lines

In this diagram I demonstrated the moment when the trains begin to emerge from the ground. The points highlighted show us at what point they come up.

3.1 Module Analysis:

In this experiment I used one of my Architectural Elements to explore the Rhino Paneling tool. The element I chose was a corridor study, after I chose the element I placed the module in the specific site that was given for the Bustle Vacancy Project. The site lot was 54 feet by 130 feet. The result I got from the experiment influeneced me greatly in the following project

The experiment was very help to me because of the outcome of the project. What I got from this was that using just one simple module can be just as powerful and interest-ing as using many different elements. This project will later influence my overall design of the Bustling Vacancy Project.

4.In and Out Flow Project:

New York City the city that never sleeps, the constant In and Out Flow of peo-ple communting through tunnels and bridges. The one thing that connects New York City to all the five boroughs and is the veins of the city, what facilitates our commute to each borough and gets us from point A to point B. The subway lines of the city a very critical element the holds together our city. Our goal, to ana-lyze the subway lines and extract information. To find out what stations are the busiest, what borough contains the most ridership and to extract rules to design with.

Phase 1:Architectural Elements

Our first step was to combine our elements that we design so we can use them to-wards the project. We had a catalog of elements to chose from. The is an import-ant part because it helped us piece together the project and gave use endless design ideas in regards to the elements.


20

when considering the element design we picked, we took into consideration some points. We wanted to have an element that can be used for everything, stairs, corridors, wall, and atriums.We wanted this element to have a consistent flow. The element needed to fit with its design and environment. This was a very important design rule we had and felt strongly about it.


21

Phase 2: Pattern Map and Data Extraction

Second step was to create a set of rules to follow based on what information we extracted from the maps. This phases of the project is the most important because it set up how and why we design our open air exhibition. We ourselves set design rules to follow and from this point on its all based on information extracted from the maps.

We decided to pick five of the busiest stations in each borough.Five representing the five boroughs that are connected. After we decided on that we re-searched the information and gathered all the data and graphed them out.

A map of NYC subway with points of intersection marked.Here we gathered data on the five longest train lines and began to mark the points of intersection with each other. Then we broke it down even further. We wanted to know how many times each train line would intersect with the A train line. We picked the A train because its the longest train line.

From the data gathered here we set another rule. The points of intersection will trans-late to vertical circulation to access the other levels. The train lines will translate to horizontal circulation leading to the vertical points.

Overall Ridership:

1) Manhattan - 912,045,393 2) Brooklyn - 356,868,2043) Queens - 240,626,9034) Bronx - 145,029,400

Here we determine our final rule. Based on the total ridership for 2012 in each bor-ough we determined the ranking of the boroughs and determined were they would be placed in the four levels. Here we set up the views of the levels. The higher the ranking the

higher and better the view will be.

Phase 3: Design Development

The third and final phase of the project will explore the element chosen in phase one and follow the rules set in phase two. Follwing the rules set we engaged in many different ways to design the open air exhibition. We really wanted to stick with one element and ddesigning from there. We wanted to keep true to the subway experience of being In and Out so we made that part of our design.

Information gathered from phase two we determined that the train lines would translate to horizontal circulation

JEAN DELFINO

The overall goal of the project was to create and open air exhibition,in which you relate a pattern from the city and apply it to the design. The process of creating, designing, and setting rules was a difficult challenge. However, the outcome was very rewarding. Just like the project had three phases, there are three phases in success:

Attempt. Observe. Repeat.
