VAULT 201 : COOPER HEWITT MUSEUM INSTALLATION

Vault201 is a thin-masonry vault constructed by the MIT Masonry Research Group for the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum as part of the 2010 Why Design Now? National Design Triennial.The vault was designed within site specific constraints with a Grasshopper definition keep-ing the catenary load paths inside the 1.5 brick thickness for structural stability. The double curvature of the vault not only provided an interesting design but added extra structural stability.The process included the creation and construction of a CNC wooden formwork to support the construction of the brick layer, a full construction documentation set and a full scale

prototype to test and demonstrate the structural integrity of the design.

Masonry VaultIn Situ Constructed

Forces acting on supports due to tile vault

Assumptions: -vault is analyzed as a one-foot wide strip -applied load is self-weight of the vault -vertical reaction is supported by plywood sheet -horizontal thrust is taken by plywood support and spread to the existing walls -arch is assumed to be parabolic and acting in pure compression

Span, L: 16'-9 Rise, d: 3 feet (this is the minimum vertical rise from the support to the crown)Load, w: 10 psf (for 1 thick vault with density of 120 pounds per cubic foot)

Vertical reaction at support: V = wL/2 = (10psf )(16-9)/2 = 84 lbs

Therefore each one-foot wide strip of the vault is bearing vertically on the support with a force of 84 lbs. The total weight of the vault is approximately 1800 lbs and each support carries roughly 900 lbs over a ten foot length. This is roughly equivalent to six people standing in the gallery space at each end of the vault and therefore should not be a concern for the load capacity of the existing floor.

Horizontal reaction at the wall: H = wL2/8d = (10 psf )(16'-9)2/[8*(3)] = 117 lbs

Therefore each one-foot wide strip of the vault is bearing horizontally on the wall with a force of 117 lbs.

Maximum force in the vault occurs at the support and is equal to 144 lbs (from Pythagorean theorem). This is carried by a 1 x 12 strip of masonry.

Maximum compressive stress in the vault is 144 lbs/12 in2 = 12 psi

The average compressive strength of the brick is approximately 16,000 psi. And the compressive strength of Hydrocal is approximately 5000 psi.

Therefore the strength of the brick and mortar combined can be conservatively assumed to be 5000 psi due to the weaker mortar. The safety factor against crushing is approximately 400, and therefore the compressive strength of the vault is 400 times stronger than the internal stresses. This demonstrates that material testing is not required. The weak point in the system is the horizontal load bearing capacity of the wall. We may consider conducting a load test on the wall to demonstrate that the wall can support at least 200 lbs per foot of width.

ECO HOUSE : 10K 3/11 Disaster Housing

The Eco-House responds to the 3/11 Tsunami that hit Japan. The premise of this studio led by Yung Ho Chang and Nick Gelpi at MIT, was to create disaster relief housing for under $10K.The Eco-House is a material reuse prototype; the rubble collected directly on the site is used in a gabion-type wall system and the whole house is designed to run independently from the electrical or water distribution grids.The roof of the house is a great water funel, directing water into a filtration system and temporarily collecting water, distributing it to an internal water filtration and heating system.

The gabion-wall system is a flat-shipped steel frame system designed to require no on-site welding and therefore making the construction of the house as easy and quick as possible.All parts of the architectural proposal were built at 1/2 scale to demonstrate feasability and material assembly.

ECO HOUSE : 3/11 Disaster Housing

Gabion assembly for this house is meant to follow these steps. The cages are shipped flat to a disaster-stricken site and can be easily assembled without the need to weld. Gabions can receive different fill; rubble from destroyed housing, recycled plastics. The heaviest materials are to be stacked at the bottom of the cages. A clerestory which also ships flat provide for natural lighting. It adapts to the pitch of the roof and can rest on the top of the gabions. The roof is designed to collect a maximum amount of water and to direct it to the filtration system which comprises of natural rocks and vegetation and ultra-violet emiting lights which kill all bacteria.

The construction of the house was tested in a half-scale model, proving the feasibility of each task.

Diller+Scofidio famous Boston ICA is located in Bostons South End, away from the tourist path. The ICA annex is meant to link busy South Station transportation hub to the ICA.It act as a physical fulcrum without interupting the path to the museum. Its very small footprint and the large programmatic requirements produces a stacking of four theatres with a meandering path. Two exterior theatres and two interior ones of different capaci-ties are linked by the ICA path.The Structural scheme relies on the adjacent buildings as structural enchors. The theatres thus cut the volumes of the existing buildings in order to rest its weight. 1. Large Capacity Interior Theatre - Rendering2. Site Analysis - the path to the ICA

Kitsune Bamba (the place of the fox) is located in the town of Utatsu in the Minami Sanriku district of Japan. After the Tsunami which devastated the town, the inhabitants were in dire need of a community center. Kitsune Bamba responded to this demande and expanded to a more town-wide system of emergency detection.Kitsune Bamba acts as an Onsen (traditional Japanese Community Baths) and an emer-gency center with kitchens, laundry facilities and common spaces. A system of potable water fountains dispersed around the town would act as beacons indicating if the population needs to evacuate the town to the higher location of Kitsune Bamba.

The sites proximity to the two schools and its higher elevation makes it an ideal spot for the population to retreat in the case of a tsunami. It also provides a wide view of the town and the port, helping the population assess the situation.

INTERACTIVE FABRIC

Interactive Fabric aims to change the aspect of a soft and flexible surface in reference to its user imput.The fabric is composed of a pattern of magnets which can be connected by the user, changing the form of the fabric. It emphasizes the users natural intentions by creating and exacerbating the amount of light; when the fabric is folded and retracted in order to let lightin, it generates colored lights.

The Arduino ScriptUses each Hall Effect Sensors as a digital output sensor giving either a high or low val-ue. When a magnet is close to the sensor it outputs a digital signal to the LEDs lighting it up.

The CircuitEach sensor is connected to a specific input pin on the Arduino Board. Each sensor control a number of LEDs which are grouped and connected to an output pin on the Arduino Board.

ASSEMBLY

Rio Flux is a two-fold project investigating the use of organic photovoltaics printed on flexible plastics as a source of energy in Brazil.The first part of the project creates a architectural unit for a facade. In this case, ConeFa-cade is an example of a prefabricated unit which can fold to create the optimal angle for energy absorbtion. Made of six aluminum panels, perforated for ventilation and view and with a surface ready to receive the photovoltaics. Connected to electronics , the panels charge a battery to its full potential and then release the surplus of energy in a vatilation system attached to the units. The stored energy can be used at night to light the interior side of the panels, the circulation area of the building or the facade itself.

ACOUSTIC TILE

+ =

Acoustic Tile is an interactive studio prototyping project using sensor-based programming to create sentient architecture.The Acoustic Tile is a remote controlled unit which modifies the acoustic quality of a space. It provides three states; a passive reflective state, a buffering state, and a sound emplifying/modifying state. All reactions were programmed via Processing/Arduino/Max for Live.The project went further and speculated on the potential of a sentient anachoidal surface which reacted to ambient sound. The surface would geometrically change depending on the amount of sound generated in the room. A Firefly/Grasshopper definition linked a to a microphone was programmed to parametrically change that surface texture.

The Acoustic Tile is connected to a computer calculating the needed depth of the anachoidal texture. Processing a sound input, criteria define the depth and the frequency of the texture creating visually different tiles depending on the level and type of sound in the room.A grasshopper and firefly definition process the sound input and change the Rhino model accordingly.

ACOUSTIC TILE

A similar method is applied to the facade of the house. Applied to the existing facade, its constraints are defined by the apartures and the existing geometry of the facade. The texture becomes denser as it reaches the top floor where the recording studios are located and which thus needs more exterior sound buffering.

This thesis claims to develop alternative energy-harvesting systems by looking at their implementation at the residential scale in order to facilitate the economical autonomy of a community and thus improve its living conditions.The thesis takes the Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans as a testing ground for a new energy scenario where most of the energy consumed by its inhabitants is generated by hydrokinetic turbines located on the Mississippi River.To be able to cover a community with no power outages, this energy needs to be stored during periods of low consumption. A system of water towers is deployed on the site to store that energy and release it during periods of greater demand.

The scheme of remediation for this thesis engages the edge of the lower 9th ward, by creating a buffering zone of vegetation wich would absorb potential surges and would created areas of aquaculture to be tended by a new local community.The structure of both house and aqueduc minimally touch the ground and leave enough head room for a tractor to pass under, thus extending fields and nature underneath the inhabited spaces.

The natural action of sedimentation previously present along the banks of the Mississippi are not prevented by the Army Corps of Engineers artificial levee system.The soils are depleted and thus are sinking. New Orleans is now even lower than it used to be and is increasingly dependent on a series of pumping stations to stay dry.

Research showing the energy industries present in Louisiana but which does not fund the state. The site of the Lower 9th Ward would become a prototype for energy harvesting, cre-ating an alternative.By using the natural difference between the Mississippi Level and the Lower 9th Ward, energy could be created and stored by circulating water to the site. It woudl also serve to replenish the soild with new sediments and would attract an important ecosystem.

Accumulation of Sediments to Create Roof Garden

The interaction between the infrastructure and the houses culminates in a pooling and filter-ing system where the water of the aqueduc flows in.The pool on the roof fills with sediment over time. It later can be used to plant filtering vege-tation which would help the integrated water filtering system located in the house.A platform leveled with the house can also collect water from the aqueduc and be used to grow crops or vegetables for personal use to the house owner.The structure of both house and aqueduc minimally touch the ground and leave enought head-room for a tractor to pass under, extending fields and nature unerneath the inhabited spaces.
