The Site.

LAX parking garage [near international terminal]

The Proposed.

L.A has a lack of productive Garden Space throughout the city. Most of the food that is consumed travels on average 1500 miles.LAX’s influx of customers and necessity for food will be an ideal location for an urban, productive prototype.

A colony of worker housing and hydro-ponic gardens will inhabit the site and repurpose it for their own needs.

The influence of this particular colony will be global due to the entrepreneurial spirit that lives within a colony that produces and sells to national and international movers.

With the particular driving forces of the sun and necessity for space the plants and colony will act as a single machine search-ing for ideal lighting conditions.

Influenced by the life of the truck driver, the trucker cab is hijacked and displaced in the world of factory workers [Hangzhou China] and physicists [Batavia Illinois]. The trucker lives and sleeps where he works. The factory worker ingests the dust of his own work and finds rest on site. The physicist is always collecting informa

-

tion, never sleeping.

Twenty Seven nocturnal spaces [chrome light boxes] are distributed on the site. Each unit is a bed, a place to rest, with a metal skin. The unit becomes lit when occupied, creating subsequent indicators that something is happening on that site.

The viaduct becomes lit underneath as the night sky deepens its pigment [lit by chrome light boxes]. When the light boxes are vacant, there is no light, but as they become occupied the exterior becomes illuminated. Workers from the nearby factories are provided a place to rest.

The truck driver becomes his work. He sleeps in the machine he operates all day. The truck becomes a portable dwelling [a space for living and a space for working]. The physicist can never escape his work, every piece of matter contains micro particles [the meson, proton and neutrino]. The light box provides the physicist a place to sleep. It can be placed on any site, providing workers a place to sleep for short or long periods of time.

The tevatron [four mile circumference particle accelerator] becomes lit with chrome light boxes. FermiLab physicists are provided rest in individual sleeping units placed on site [set in the natural prairie land, particles are being accelerated underneath them].

The bands of tape, entangled wires and blinking lights are resultants of the conges-tive nature of urbanism. Data is streamed under our feet, on the floor of the ocean and through the particles in the air. This new emerging architecture has to account for the data that is being produced [9 million events per second].

Fall 2006 Poetic Potential of Com-puters

Texas Tech College of Architecture undergraduate program

Bennett Neiman

The space modulator provides the opportu-nity to relate design to direct work with materials as against previous architectural methods in which structural inventions were hampered by the shortcomings of visualization on paper alone. On the other hand, structural projects could be solved just as well by working with the model alone; but again this would not give the experience in visualization and develop-ment on paper which is essential to the exploitation of a "space fantasy", one of the main requirements of contemporary archi-tecture. -Laszlo Moholy-Nagy

Forgotten Memorial

Wars, tragedies and fallen public servants become memorialized through out our cities. The moment the memorial is erected, we remember. We hold ties to that event, to that person, but as the years pass the memorial loses the strong sense of attachment, slowly fading into the fabric of the city. Camouflaged within the formalities of the memorial, a larger infrastructure is being set forth. The memorial becomes forgotten but at the same time is used to generate a hidden monument. When homelessness becomes more permanent than transitory, the city is translated into a domestic realm. Duali-ties are found in the space we occupy. One space becomes two places, estab-lished through the dichotomy of uses.

Forgotten Memorial projects a memo-rial that is no longer about what is claimed to be memorialized and begins to facilitate the existence of another user, the homeless.

The Case [duality of space]

One space becomes two places defined by the perspective, the user and the use.

The Proposed. [Forgotten Memorial]

A memorial is erected, slowly fading into the fabric of the city as time goes on. Within the formali-ties of the memorial, a utilitarian purpose is formed.

The urban center of a city has two layers of users. A layer that uses the surface of the city and abides by it formality and then there is another layer that undermines the formali-ties and uses the city to provide basic needs.

I am not proposing that one layer is greater than the other, or one should take precedent. I am setting up a framework that allows one to feed from another.

The memorial becomes erected, not for the formal figure but for the forgotten.

“My eyes go numb from the white walls, grayish blue industrial carpet and the bright computer monitor that stares at me all day. I escape at lunch. I walk down one block to the park.”

“From here I can see the whole city. The lights flicker on and off and the sound of sirens crescendo as they get closer.”
