Reformulating periphery cities by imagining new visions for orphaned highway infrastructures.

A proposal for USDOT investment to be designated for the improvement of the United Sates Numbered Highway System such that this historic and locally specific transportation network be re-visioned/ re-invented to act as a supportive armature for the healthy development of town centers within the expansive edges of major metropolitan areas.

The problem of redeveloping brownfield sites is often that the remediation process acts as a narrative break between the historic pattern and the future possibilities of the site. By incorporating the remediation process into the development methodology the resulting changes in the landscape are productively utilized for ecological and social benefit.

The case study site in the industrial area of the Lower Duwamish River Valley near Seattle was analyzed for its redevelopment potential and remediation need. The resultant plan for future development focuses on the opportunistic utilization of state and federal remediation requirements to drive development.

A proposal for a prototype building form in Guangzhou, China to promote the generation of locally productive economic activities in the region. Recognizing that the strength and flexibility of the local economy is due to the open and accessible use of the hierarchy of street networks in the area, the building seeks to become a vertical street in which circulation and interaction is encouraged throughout. By organizing the building around a single large bandwidth circulation path the exchange of materials and knowledge is foregrounded as the primary activity of the building.

Tigard Corridor Noble Diagram

Problematic land use conditions that are the result of regional vehicular transportation corridors such as highway 99W through Tigard, Ore-gon have presented a rich environ-ment for analysis and planning.

By identifying potential development opportunities for urban systems such as green space, high capacity transit and rail corridors a vision for a revitalization plan has been put forth at the bequest of the city.

global & regional connection

transportation along 99W is currently defined by single user point to point vehicular traffic. the immediate loca-tion of place is lost in the frenzy of moving from home to work and back again. in this environment there is little opportunity for “the 3rd place” of the everyday.

the introduction of high capacity public transit along the corridor allows for a re-imaging of the corridor as a series of distinct station commu-nities strung out along it’s lentgh. each with it’s own unique identity.

currently the downtown of tigard is defined by the viaduct which passes over it and the main street with runs parellel to 99W. the downtown commercial area is largely underutilized and poor land use patterns, consistent with the corridor maintain.

by recognizing the distinch bound-aries of the converging water-sheds a clear edge condiction can be defined. the convergence of multiple types and scales of trans-portation infrasctructure is taken advantage of by linkind them into a multi-modal node.

The community at large is welcomed by the open and tiered urban face de�ned by the frontage that rises o� of the street level on a series of stairs, ramps, and porches. This then de�nes a boundary between the center and the street, clarifying the distinct space of the institution.

The community and the craft center join in the major courtyard thereby inviting the adjacent institutions to utilize the commu-nity resources while providing an open social space for the students of the craft center.

A central entry plaza creates a point around which the various usage layers of the site are de�ned while allowing for an open social space in which the intersecting com-munities may participate together in the mission of the institution.

The core of the craft center as a service institution is de�ned by a closed minor courtyard which centralizes the activities of the educational program, thereby providing an internal and dedicated space for the func-tion of the craft center.

Occupying the central position on a block between educational institu-tions serving a complete range of youths, from the very young through the barely adult, the craft center strives to promote the speci�c social condition of it's primary users and engage the adjacent and local com-munity in the process of education.

To respond to a financially and spatially constrained brief for a playground at the center of Atlanta’s downtown, we devised a strategy of RE-play that would utilize a scaled series of reused and recycled elements. These elements formed a temporally and spatially dynamic environment in which children’s open-minded and imaginative approach to the world was given free reign and was displayed to the public.

The commisioning of an temporary, artificial wetland with a constrained budget and installation period required that the methodologies of design and construction be tightly intertwined. To achieve a form that was simultaneously organic and fabricated we created a script which would randomly arrange the substrate building unit (hay bales) along a boundary constraint. By selecting for fitnes from the resultant iterations a dynamic form was found with belied the intentions of installation to refer to the natural form of wetlands while maintaining its integrity as a constructed environment.

Fletcher Studio constributed a complete site plan and water retention strategy to a competition entry for a building technology school in Morocco. In collaboration with Bureau E.A.S.T. architecture and TransSolar KlimaEngineering a range of microclimate strategies were deployed which integrated the built form with landscape through planted passively cooled interstitial courtyards and larger fabric shaded quads for building experiments and outdoor construction labs. The roofs and canopy structure collected all rain and fog water from the atmosphere and stored this in a covered reservour which where it was distributed for evaporative cooling in the buildings.

the inversion of a corner in the “white cube” gallery was accomplished through careful reconstruction of existing building materials. the subtle intervention disturbs the purity of the gallery spatially rather than visually.

In ‘the triple point’, paper abandons its conventional role as the two dimensional recipient of medium. The installation draws

inspiration from the states of matter, interpreting the inherent qualities of paper through the lens of thermodynamics as solid, liquid and gas. The triple point is the state of equilibrium - a temperature and pressure at which the three substance phases coexist. The gallery space becomes host to this phenomena, a framework for exhibiting paper’s limitless potential and flexible properties.

The Satin Bowerbird (Ptilonorhynchus violaceus) problematizes the vision of the human as the unique producer of art (homo artifex). This project sought to de/re/territorialize the bowerbird’s material production through the performative act of making a bower as a human becoming of the bowerbird. Further decontextualization was accomplished by moving the resultant “bowerbauen” from the pastoral location of it’s construction into the urban environment and then gallery site to enact a display performance.
