The Gowanus master plan proposal carries two main parts. The first part is to avoid surface runoff within the contami-nated zone by letting surface runoff drain directly through all existed sewers. The contaminated water will eventually get collected and remediated by combined sewer overflow(CSO) retention facilities built on the new proposal site before they are released to Gowanus canal. The second part focus on remediate all relatively clean rainwater runoff in Gowanus watershed that are mostly from the residential zone to a swimmable water condition. These runoff are collected outside the contaminated zone and proportionally distributed to several designated sites through many ripari-an strips below ground. With help of constructed wetlands, roof gardens and the central urban scaled natural swim-ming pool, the water on site remains at EEC bath water guidelines level before the next storm. The weathers are predictable and therefore a precise amount of cleaned water that has been stored from the previous storm can be released to the canal a head of time in order to provide enough storage volume for the upcoming storms.

The Gowanus canal in Brooklyn, New York, was once a major trans-portation route for the city. Manufactured gas plants, mills, tanner-ies, and chemical plants all operated along the canal causing it become one of the nation's most polluted water bodies after years of discharge, combined sewer outflows (CSO) and industrial pollut-ants carried by water runoff. A complete water management analy-sis reveals that not only is the overall underground sewer system operating over capacity, the sewers within the Gowanus watershed are running at dramatically different rates.

Buildings at higher ground outside the contaminat-ed zone to the Gowanus watershed are mostly residential, and street runoff is relatively clean. Hence, the very first step is to separate storm water runoff from higher ground away from the sewer system. The drainage from these areas will be temporarily closed off during heavy precipitation. Without adding street runoff from the residential area into the sewers, the overflows among Gowanus canal can almost be eliminated. Mean-while, the sewer system within the contaminated zone will then be able to handle more street runoff directly above from the previous listed facilities, which were the source of the waterbody's pollu-tion problem. All sewage within the Gowanus sewershed will eventually get remediated by the new CSO retention facilities before released to the canal. On the other hand, clean street runoff will be collected and proportionally redistributed to several natural water remediation sites by riparian strips that filter out pollutants.

In order to completely remediate Gowanus' heavily contam-inated water problem, a new multiphase master plan, which includes a 4 million gallon CSO retention plant, is proposed.

The 3 acres site between Douglass St. and Degraw St. on 3rd Ave. as an demonstration design can store up to 2.5 million gallons of storm water runoffs. The complex is open to public of all ages for indoor/outdoor activities, studying, dining or just relaxing. The Urban scaled natural swimming pool in the center of the site has a 2000 people maximum daily capacity. The architectural complex is not only the most natural and cost efficient solution to clean both runoff water and sewage but also is a economy kickstarter for the neighborhood to regain the population lost in the past few decades.

Theses sites are built within the contaminated zone but with help of the constructed wetlands, roof gardens and the urban scaled natural swimming pool, water on site can be maintained at EEC bath water guideline level for public use at all time. As the weather is predict-able, a precise amount of previously cleaned storm water that has been stored on site can be released to the canal in order to provide storage volume for upcoming storms. To protect the watershed from rare super storms, this strategy has the advantage over sewer system renovation in both cost and time efficien-cy. The architectural complexes at these remediation sites are not only the most natural solution to remedi-ate both runoff and sewage, but also kickstart a new economy for the neighbourhood, and repopulate the area after decades of heavy polluting.

Project AURA's mission is to foster and encourage aware-ness of the environmental issues we will be facing in the future as a result of our off-balanced natural resource consumption. It provides a platform which allows for people to participate in a new way of receiving energy into their homes and everyday way of life.

In the spirit of community and volunteer services that is very pertinent in the Presidio, people are welcome to take home charged batteries. Rather than requiring a paid member-ship, members can acquire them by donating their time to the various volunteer groups in the Presidio. The open source alternative energy exchange laboratory and open-access incubator studio space have the potential to build a future energy community in which those who partic-ipate come not only to receive energy, but to gain knowl-edge and tools to build their own sustainable energy equip-ment devices which can then be taken back to their homes, and even distributed throughout the city.

In the U.S., 8% of the net electricity generation loss occurs during Transmission & Distribution. The design concept of the building is to move away from the traditional energy distribution model, which relies on an industrial farm to transport energy through the electrical grid. By incorporat-ing energy harvesting systems into both the form and the structures of the building, project AURA offers an alterna-tive approach; where the building itself becomes an instru-ment for harnessing different forms of energy, while still offering unique inhabitable spaces. The sustainable energy harnessed onsite is used to power the entire facility. The remaining energy is then stored in batteries, which have the potential to power multiple types of appliances.

The field of columns - the AURAs, are the primary activators of this vision. There are a total of six AURAs dedicated to passively maintaining the building at a comfortable temperature range by using chimney(stack) effect along with earth tube system. Out of these six AURAs, the three shortest ones intake cool air. Then the fresh air gets chan-neled through a series of earth tubes. The earth tubes act as a heat exchanger underground, which can capture heat from and/or dissipate heat to the ground before distributing fresh air back into the building at a more desirable tempera-ture. The other three AURAs are located at the tallest points of the building. The height difference between these and the intake AURAs creates a negative pressure which forces air to circulate through the building. A set of three AURAs are wind energy generators which are constantly capturing the intense northwest wind at the site all year long. The underground turbines which connect to the three energy generating AURAs are located towards the back of the lot to minimize vibration and sound pollution during the energy conversion. The topography of the "living roof" is optimized to funnel the wind toward the three energy generating AURAs. On the other hand, at the two lowest areas of the roof topography, two AURAs are built to collect and remediate rainwater and to recycle used grey water. The remaining four hybrid AURAs have the built-in geother-mal utilities along with the earth tube system. These AURAs connect to the radiant heating network that is embedded in the floor plates to warm the building at a minimized cost.

COOL AIR INTAKE

THIS IS THE FIRST STEP IN THE EARTH TUBE VENTILATION SYSTEM OF THE BUILDING. COOL AIR ENTERS THESE AURAS AND IS TEMPERED THROUGH A SERIES OF EARTH TUBES UNDERGROUND. THE AIR IS DISTRIBUTED BACK INTO THE BUILDING THROUGH PIPES WHICH ORIGINATE FROM OTHER AURAS.

HOT AIR OUTTAKE

VENTILATION IS CREATED WITHIN THE BUILDING AS THESE AURAS ACT AS SOLAR CHIMNEYS. THE HEIGHT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE AND THE INTAKE AURAS CREATES A NEGATIVE PRESSURE WHICH FORCES AIR TO CIRCULATE THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING. DURING OPTIMAL CONDITIONS THIS SYSTEM CAN WORK WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF ANY FANS TO FORCE OUT THE AIR.

GEOTHERMAL HEATINGSTORAGE TANKS ON THE FIRST FLOOR OF THE BUILDING CONTAIN FLUID FOR A CLOSED GEOTHER-MAL HEATING SYSTEM. AFTER RUNNING BENEATH THE GROUND, THE FLUID COMES BACK UP TO A HEAT TANK IN THE AURA AND THEN DISTRIBUTED THROUGH A RADIANT FLOOR SYSTEM.BECAUSE THE SYSTEM IS PAIRED WITH AN EARTH TUBE SYSTEM, THE HEAT TANK HAS TO BE USED LESS TO HEAT THE ROOM WITH TEMPERED AIR.

WIND ENERGY GENERATOR

THE AURAS ARE ORIENTED TO RECEIVE THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF PREVAILING WINDS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THE SHAPE OF THE AURA SCOOPS THE WIND AND PASSES IT THROUGH A SERIES OF VENTURI UNDERGROUND IN ORDER TO SPEED IT UP. AFTER PASSING THROUGH A TURBINE TO CREATE ELECTRICI-TY, THE WIND IS EXHAUSTED THROUGH SCULPTURAL VENTS BEHIND THE BUILDING.

GREY WATER STORAGE

USED WATER FROM THE SINKS IN THE BATHROOMS AND THE KITCHEN ARE STORED IN THESE TANKS AND FILTERED SO THAT IT CAN BE USED TO FLUSH TOILETS OR TO IRRIGATE THE PLANTED ROOF. AFTER THE GREY WATER HAS BEEN USED TO FLUSH THE TOILETS THE BLACK WATER GOES BACK TO THE CITY.

RAIN WATER COLLECTION

THE ROOF OF THE BUILDING IS SLOPED DOWN TO FUNNEL THE RAIN WATER INTO SPECIFIC AURAS WITHIN THE BUILDING. THE RAIN WATER IS STORED ON THE SECOND FLOOR. ONE OF THE AURAS IS DEDICATED SOLELY TO STORING RAIN WATER FOR IRRIGATING THE ROOF, WHILE THE OTHERS ARE SPLIT INTO TWO DIFFERENT STORAGE TANKS AND ALSO PROVIDE WATER FOR FLUSHINF TOILETS.

THE AURAS ARE ORIENTED TO RECEIVE THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF PREVAILING WINDS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THE SHAPE OF THE AURA SCOOPS THE WIND AND PASSES IT THROUGH A SERIES OF VENTURI UNDERGROUND IN ORDER TO SPEED IT UP. AFTER PASSING THROUGH A TURBINE TO CREATE ELECTRICI-TY, THE WIND IS EXHAUSTED THROUGH SCULPTURAL VENTS BEHIND THE BUILDING.

GREY WATER STORAGE

USED WATER FROM THE SINKS IN THE BATHROOMS AND THE KITCHEN ARE STORED IN THESE TANKS AND FILTERED SO THAT IT CAN BE USED TO FLUSH TOILETS OR TO IRRIGATE THE PLANTED ROOF. AFTER THE GREY WATER HAS BEEN USED TO FLUSH THE TOILETS THE BLACK WATER GOES BACK TO THE CITY.

RAIN WATER COLLECTION

THE ROOF OF THE BUILDING IS SLOPED DOWN TO FUNNEL THE RAIN WATER INTO SPECIFIC AURAS WITHIN THE BUILDING. THE RAIN WATER IS STORED ON THE SECOND FLOOR. ONE OF THE AURAS IS DEDICATED SOLELY TO STORING RAIN WATER FOR IRRIGATING THE ROOF, WHILE THE OTHERS ARE SPLIT INTO TWO DIFFERENT STORAGE TANKS AND ALSO PROVIDE WATER FOR FLUSHINF TOILETS.

SHAN Center is a 15 floors hotel complex directly attached to The High Line park on W 19th Street. Maintained and operated by a non-profit conservancy Friends of the High Line, The High Line is a public park built on an historic freight rail line elevated above the streets on Manhattans West Side runs through three of Manhattan's most dynamic neighborhoods: the Meatpacking District, West Chelsea, and Hell's Kitchen/Clinton. When the original High Line was built in the 1930s, these neighborhoods were dominated by industrial and transportation uses. Now many of the ware-houses and factories have been converted to art galleries, design studios, retailers, restaurants, museums, and residences.

The core focus of SHAN Center is to interpret the idea of how human unintentionally behave differently when surrounding pattern changes. By manipulating the complexity of spaces and surface patterns, varied activities within SHAN Center are suggested without using any strict boundary edges.

At the city scale, the Manhattan's street grid has a very strong direction whilst The High Line Park interrupts it with its organic curves. At the scale of The High Line itself, the linear pattern on the ground gets interrupted by the pavilions, the seating areas and small playgrounds where people pause and enjoy the perfect lookout points to the city. At the scale of the site, limited by city code, the square empty lot only has the potential to be extruded straight up, which is considered a single direction. By inviting the strong force generated by The High Line to grow into the project site forming different programs with potential views and needs, the public areas of SHAN Center are energized by the same urban dynamic flow The High Line suggested. The intensive geometries correspond with high traffic spaces: the cafe, gym, public galleries, bar, restaurant, and public plazas. The rhythm of the traffic flow also gets emphasized on the wall patterns where walls at higher traffic areas are laminated with thinner cedar strips visually create a denser linear line matrix in distance. On the other hand, the serenity of the mass is re-imagined by associating with the hotel room levels and administration zones covered with cast concrete panels. The robust concrete facade uniforms the lower traffic zones, which also reinforces the idea of using surrounding patterns indicate type of activities involved. The overall geometries are carved and rotated to maximize views to the Manhattan's skyline at each level.
