The City of Toulouse sits at the foot of the Pyrenees Mountains along the Garonne River. The site, located a kilometer outside of downtown Toulouse, is the abandoned Montaudran airport, a single runway with a rich history that runs parallel to the Canal du Midi and is adjacent to a thriving academic and research district known as “Aerospace Valley.” The purpose of the project is to transform the 60 hectare site into a mixed-use development and a metropolitan park. The strategy is to employ topographic models as a system for generating urban and ecological transformation -- activating a framework that is contextually and culturally relevant to the city of Toulouse and the larger region. The site will be a dynamic landscape that fosters a continuous and rich dialogue between topography, ecology, water, program and culture.

Neokoolhisms

Using Rem Koolhaas’s 1978 publication, Delirious New York, as a lens for exploring contemporary forms of urban development, this project imagines a new language for the generation of territorial-scale anti-urban models -- or neokoolhisms.

Specific focus is placed on the economically subserviant satellite cities of natural resource extraction industries. Geographically isolated and often spurious, these cities have unique economic, political, and social characteristics as well as the expectation of varying degrees of finality.

Instead of portraying nature, this project is a tale that begins with the pragmatic conjectures of the businessman who invests in the extraction industry. This half-fairy tale describes the growth of the satellite city, where real-life political and economic objectives coalesce in an unconscious agglomeration of sensation and heightened perception.

A HALF-FAIRY-TALE

PrefaceTable of Contents

Rem Koolhaas’s 1978 publication, Delirious New York - “...it untangles theories, tactics and dissimulations to establish the desires of Manhattan’s collective unconscious as realities in the Grid.”

Using Rem Koolhaas’s 1978 publication, Delirious New York

(DNY), as a lens for exploring contemporary forms of urban devel-

opment, this project imagines a new language for the generation of

territorial-scale anti-urban models -- or neokoolhisms.

Specific focus is placed on the economically subservient satellite cit-

ies of natural resource extraction industries and new cities emerging

from the wealth created by such commodities. Geographically iso-

lated and often spurious, these cities have unique economic, politi-

cal, and social characteristics as well as the expectation of varying

degrees of finality.

This is a tale that begins with the pragmatic conjectures of the busi-

nessman who invests in the extraction industry. This half-fairy-tale

describes the growth of the satellite city as it approaches the imagi-

nary -- where the city progresses into a state of unconsciousness.

Each chapter is designed as a typological case study of two cities,

and the tale is constructed based on commonalities and relation-

ships between economic, political, social, and developmental char-

acteristics of individual cases. Each chapter ultimately relays the

18 L i s l K o t h e i m e r - 2 0 1 3

Project spreads: the project explores eight case studies by reducing urban form to its fundamental geometries and relationships. By drawing information from the case studies a new satellite city is constructed using associative modeling.

Surface Deep Surface Deep is a new entry sequence for the visitors to the International Garden Festival in Grand-Métis. Revisiting the garden wall, an element that has been a consistent expressive element within the history of gardening, the wall is augmented and transformed to form a ribbon surface that constructs new associations, expressions and functions for the entry sequence. Its undulating form is a response and gesture for a new entry sequence which also embeds an experimental moss surface that fl ips between a wall, a ground, and a cover, while creating multiple orientations and microclimates for the living material. Surface Deep constructs a new way to meander, as well as gather at the entry of the gardens, while secretly enveloping a multiply oriented garden, enveloped within its surface depth.

In the Fall of 2010, Alexander Reford asked the Harvard GSD to develop the garden for the 2011 edition of the International Garden Festival. Beginning in the Spring 2011 semester and advised by GSD faculty members Leyre Asensio-Villoria and David Mah, students were asked to develop prototypes that could be fabricated with extensive use of the Harvard GSD’s Fabrication Laboratory. Emphasis was placed on the development of variable and modular structures that could simultaneously perform a multiplicity of functions such as surfaces, seating, shade structures, or planters while providing a cohesive vision for the 10-meter by 20-meter garden plot. For several weeks, the team researched a variety of typologies, geometries, and construction techiques until a decision was made to move forward with the development of the ribbon-like garden wall.

The wall was fabricated at the Harvard GSD, partially assembled, then shipped to Grand-Métis to be fully installed.

The design team developed a garden prototype as a means to explore digital design tools such as 3-D modeling, parametric tools, and digital fabrication methods. The focused project, Proximity Field, is a performative landscape system where topographical conditions and the orientation of a field of components are defined by the manipulation of a set of curves. The model easily generates infinite topographical and surface organizations, and the physical representation projects the dynamism of the surface and its constituent field. The flowing form invites the possibility of applications that will function beyond the expectations of the static garden.

Fabrication of the final model was a multi-step process. A surface was created with a 3-axis mill. The 6-axis ABS robot was required to dril l a grid of holes at various angles on the milled surface to receive the field of components. The individual components, each with unique proportions, were laser cut and numbered to have a precise orientation accross the milled surface.

Airport Landscape

The Boston Harbor islands are part of a regional landscape that extends from the outer-most islands in the Boston Bay well into the metropolitan area of Boston. This entire landscape was formed by retreating glaciers, leaving a rare condition of a drumlin field intersecting the coast. Most of the islands are partially drowned drumlins with a few of the outer islands being glacially scored bedrock. Throughout the city ’s history the harbor islands served many different functions: as a commodity, as urban infrastructure, and as a recreational destination. As the island geomorphology extends into East Boston, Somerville, Revere, and Chelsea it is marked with parks and monuments and occupied by a variety of public institutions, collective uses that were prescribed by Charles Eliot in the late 19th century. Today, the harbor islands are protected as a National Recreation Area and primarily serve as a welcome mat for passenger aircraft arriving at Logan International Airport.

As the airport intersects the drumlin field the geomorphological features of the Boston Bay disappear into 2400 acres of flat and featureless infrastructural domain. The aspiration of this project is to restore the landscape heritage and cultural connection to this highly inaccessible infrastructural landscape that is situated central to downtown Boston and its waterfront.

The project begins by recovering Noddles and Governors islands as strategic intermediary nodes in the local greenway and transportation network. This begins to engage the airport with East Boston and the inter-island ferry system.Opposite: Perspective of Logan

The airfield outfall zone, the largest and least accessible region of the airport property becomes an opportunity for strategic intervention. With the airport situated where three regional watersheds converge and empty into the Boston Harbor, water quality, in correspondence with the operations of the airport is of utmost importance to the Massachusetts Port Authority.

By referring to airport design guidelines, under-performing zones throughout the airfield are identified within the efficiently functioning infrastructural framework. A cut and fil l operation begins to restore the geomorphological character of the site while providing an opportunity for stormwater fi ltration and the removal of the most threatening chemical contaminants from the airfield outfall zone.

Landscape of Commodity

In the next 25 years the Las Vegas Valley will experience a population increase of as much as half a mill ion people. Although this is a modest projection compared to those made prior to 2008, any amount of growth in the Valley will require governments to seek additional water resources tosupport the urban population. The region subsists due to its growth-and-development-driven economy, typically seeing the population double every 10 years, but with a current population of about 2 mill ion, the urban region is barely meeting its water needs. Therefore, any future growth will require a corresponding change in water resources.

Instead of implementing more stringent water conservation measures at a local scale, the Southern Nevada Water Authority is favoring exploitation of far-away resources with the Groundwater Development Project. The Water Authority looks to increase supplies to meet the needs of the future population, incidentally, providing enough resources for developers to build as many as 200,000 new homes in the region. While supporting the long-standing growth-driven economy of the Las Vegas Valley, the Groundwater Development Project prolongs a paradoxical relationship between the Valley ’s economic mainstay and its lack of water resources. The financial and ecological implications ofthe project are potentially vast, while its long-term value to the urban population is uncertain.

The current situation in the Las Vegas Valley suggests that growth and development practices must be reorganized to meet the needs and expectations of developers, governments, and the urban population, while maintaining the value of ecological systems within the Valley and beyond. This research looks to reorganize the components that make up the physical environment of the Las Vegas Valley, including private development, infrastructure, and ecological systems, to produce more resilient and sustainable development typologies that are focused on water conservation.

WATER RESOURCESFOR THE 21st CENTURY

In the Las Vegas Valley, the resource of highest concern is water. The region currently relies on the Colorado River to provide 90% of its water resources -- the remainder is drawn from a shallow aquifer through municipal and private wells. The Colorado River Compact of 1920 apportions 300,000 afy to Southern Nevada. The Southern Nevada Water Authority treats and returns 210,000 afy of effluent, allowing a total withdrawal of 510,000 afy from the Colorado River through a system of return-flow credits.

Expecting that in the next 25 years there will only be a slight decline in per-capita water usage, the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) is currently

pursuing the development of groundwater resources located hundreds of miles away in Spring, Cave, Delamar, Dry Lake, and Snake valleys. The purpose of the SNWA Groundwater Development Project (GDP) is to diversify the re-gion’s water resources and to meet the projected needs of the growing popula-tion. If completed, the project will consist of over 300 miles of subsurface pipeline and the necessary facilities for pumping, filtering, and conveying up to 176,655 afy of water to its recipients in Clark and Lincoln counties. Although in a preliminary planning stage, the project is estimated to cost between $3.6 billion and as much as $15 billion.1 2 The SNWA is currently pursuing the right

of way for the main pipeline, which will be routed along a new energy corridor, primarily traversing land that is managed by the BLM.

Critics believe that the GDP will threaten aquatic ecosystems, including many endemic species, in the Central Basin and Range ecoregion and cause perma-nent land subsidence. These arguments against the project are extremely apt: in 1957 and 1958, during the Las Vegas Valley’s most rapid period of growth, similar groundwater harvesting dried up springs and drained the region’s distinctive wetlands and meadows. The only remnant of the landscape from which the Valley takes its name is the Las Vegas Wash – a channelized and

intensified waterway fed by urban stormwater and discharge from municipal wastewater treatment facilities.3

Furthermore, the history and politics of groundwater harvesting bring another complicated dimension to the SNWA GRP. The legal rules govern-ing groundwater use typically reward those who exploit the resource while the consequences of over-use are absorbed by the larger population.4 The SNWA’s proposal will tap into a regional carbonate aquifer that extends from Death Valley to Salt Lake City, an ecologically robust region that is scattered with many federally protected parks and wildlife refuges. Fundamentally, this

increases the number of stakeholders in the GDP, and out of purely economic necessity, the project ignores the reality that water is a limited resource and that redistributing and rerouting it at a large scale will most certainly create problems elsewhere. Characteristic of any large-scale infrastructural proposal, the politics, cost, and negative ecological impact that the GDP promises may ultimately lead to its renunciation as a feasible option for sustaining future development in the Las Vegas Valley. This reality suggests that governments must investigate other strategies that will appeal to the urban population with-out the the high financial and ecological risks of the GDP.

CENTRAL BASIN AND RANGEThe Central Basin and Range ecoregion is internally drained and is characterized by a mosaic of xeric basins, scattered low and high mountains, and salt flats. It has a hotter and drier climate, more shrubland, and more mountain ranges than the Northern Basin and Range (80) ecoregion to the north. Basins are covered by Great Basin sagebrush or saltbush-greasewood vegetation that grow in Aridisols; cool season grasses are less common than in the Mollisols of the Snake River Plain (12) and Northern Basin and Range. The region is not as hot as the Mojave Basin and Range (14) ecoregion to the south and it has a greater percent of land that is grazed.

MOJAVE BASIN AND RANGEThis ecoregion contains broad basins and scattered mountains that are generally lower, warmer, and drier, than those of the Central Basin and Range (13). Its creosote bush-dominated shrub community is distinct from the saltbush–greasewood and sagebrush–grass associations that occur to the north in the Central Basin and Range (13) and Northern Basin and Range (80); it is also differs from the palo verde–cactus shrub and saguaro cactus that occur in the Sonoran Basin and Range (81) to the south. Most of this region is federally owned and grazing is constrained by the lack of water and forage for livestock. Heavy use of off-road vehicles and motorcycles in some areas has made the soils susceptible to wind and water erosion.

“As part of the Euclid Gateway Vision grant, UCI is committed to highlighting the Western gateway into the neighborhood and the site of the original University Circle, from which the area takes its name. A series of custom designed, sculptural l ighting elements will trace the path of the original circle, and integrated benches will mark the location of interpretive elements that will recall the rich history of transportation through the region.”

-University Circle 2010 Annual Report

The lighting elements are not to appear as an addition to the sign posts, power lines, and traffic signals that are characteristic of the busy intersection in downtown Cleveland. The design team researched many materials for the lighting elements including wood, metal, and plastic until a translucent resin was selected for its subtlety during the day and unique ability to distribute light evenly when i l luminated.

Fox Riverfront The Fox Riverfront is a unique public surface -- a performance space for the City of Green Bay. The new riverfront park brings the community closer to the natural systems of the Fox River, employing permeable surfaces and inviting structural forms. The folding and faceted upland benches and over-water structures promote improvised use by many types of visitors, and the linear park becomes a year-round thoroughfare for cyclists, joggers, and crosscountry skiers.At both the conceptual design level and construction detail level, the Fox Riverfront allows for the contingent events of the urban site. The construction documents prescribe solutions for building upon historical infrastructures and negotiating existing urban framework. The drawings outline a plan that anticipates economic development along the Fox River and also accommodates for the unpredictable qualities of the river itself.
