Document 641.02 // The Rühmann NotebookRecovering Berlin06

2010. MArch. Columbia University

critic: Ed Keller

studio title: Cryptoform, Polytics, Noise

chosen site: Berlin

program: traveling EU-HQ

partners: Lisa Ekle, Danil Nagy

quick project description: In order to reveal issues of post-empire, the work is situ-

ated in a projected future, drawing straight lines from the Berlin Wall, War on Terror,

and progress made in computation technologies and bio-engineering. These lines meet

in 2040 at a design competition for the traveling headquarters of the European Union

Presidency of the Council and Cultural Capital of Europe. In a time of fully responsive

architectural environments, designers were asked to submit entries in the form of

protocols describing the complex new relationships between architects and technology,

person to people and people to technology interface. Entries were evaluated by a jury

discussion followed by online comments. Three of the most provocative entries were

developed into a vision of their implied outcome.

competition posters were posted throughout GSAPP and on online venues

Desert Strip05

2009. MArch. Columbia University

critic: Bjarke Ingels

studio title: vernacular 2.0

site: Las Vegas, Nevada

program: hotel-casino resort, solar updraft

tower, golf course, country club housing

quick project description: In a search for vernacular systems, this project adapts the

most efficient technology at harnessing solar energy in the desert to the context of Las

Vegas. The idea is to make responsibility spectacular. While this building is so efficient

that it even manages to spare enough grey water to maintain a golf course turf, and

generate enough energy for 2000 households and 2000 hotel rooms, it costs the same

to build as any other newly built casino resort on the strip and makes an aesthetically

convincing argument to the common developer of this architype.

Viral Security04

2009. MArch. Columbia University

critic: Hernan Diaz-Alonso

studio title: cannibal house

site: Silverlake, Los Angeles

program: house, zombie remediation

clinic, mosque, quarantine zone/lab

quick project description: Architectural standards must adapt to new situations in so-

ciety. Just like domestic bunkers during the Cold War in America, this project proposes

an adaptation to a zombie infection. Having watched 28 Days Later and read The Tip-

ping Point, I developed a system that infects the site with security systems.

Gondola Housing03

2008. MArch. Columbia University

critic: Michael Bell and Brian Laughlin

partner:John Becker

studio title: economic reevaluations

site: Journal Square, Jersey City

program: housing, public trasportation, park space

quick project description: With the economic crisis fresh in our minds, we approached

the challenge of housing with a search into self sustaining systems. Gondola Housing

is an independent spatial economy that supports a public system of exchange. Alter-

nating between transportation and inhabitation, the system evades the line between

architecture and infrastructure in an effort to reconnect the city to itself. The premise

is that for the sake of economic efficiency and the optimization of the public realm,

space is only private when it needs to be.

Leaning Matrices02

2008. MArch. Columbia University

critic: Mable Wilson

studio title: particles, density, repetition

site: Center and Howard St., Chinatown

program: drawing center

quick project description: The program is divided into four bodies that address the

street in different ways but are then fragmented into parts that are interwoven. A

series of matrix studies produced lessons about degrees of freedom within a striated

system. The result is a centralized building that distributes into specific activities yet

shows their integral relationship with each other.

Floating Labs01

2007. MArch. Columbia University

critic: Janette Kim

studio title: collapsing atmospheres

site: pier at Riverside and 129th St.

program: climatology lab

quick project description: Climatology is a new type of research, and therefore,

should not subscribe to predetermined spaces. Floating labs are variable intersections

between a path system and a material conservation system. These two meet in condi-

tions that reveal new relationships between the scientist and the object of research,

and between science and public.
