StormwaterDECK seeks to activate underutilized open space through small-scale stormwater management methods, implemented using a modular unit that is applicable to similar adjacent patios. The design provides new seating and sense of place to a space that formerly had no seating or amenties other than location as an outdoor space, resulting in minimal use.
Since the implementation of the project, the site has experienced an increase in social activity and is promising to transform the space into a much needed reprieve from the busy work atmosphere of the building.
Modular planted trays and seats replace the standard 2x2 100 pound pavers, allowing the site furnishings to be rearranged as necessary
or to be transferred to other patio levels if desired. The project mitigates stormwater runoff
and flooding using two methods; plantings in the modular trays and hydrogel placed inside the permeable seats, both absorbing excess stormwater runoff. The modular seats were produced with 30% reclaimed wood pallets,
a commonly used surplus material. Other materials such as the soil medium and green
roof drainage materials were obtained through donation from companies with surplus materials
left over from larger projects.
All patios drain to a central catchment that flows to the next roof deck level below. After flowing down all four decks, the stormwater eventually reaches the street and combines with the city stormwater drains.

The patios have very poor drainage and often flood. While the stormwater was tested for
any toxins we found that the highest element content was rust and decided that filtration of the stormwater was unneccessary. Foam
insulation, meant to be impermeable, was beginning to fail and retain water at all times. In addition the spaces between the pavers where water normally drains was rapidly shrinking due
to years of painting over the pavers.

This project, inspired by origami folding patterns, explores transformability through combined methods of folding, stretching, and cutting to create a flexible yet rigid surface that transforms through space.
The project is also a material research endeavor and seeks to emulate the memory of paper when folded. To meet this requirement, the material must be able to bend an infinite number of times without failure. In other words, it must be a living hinge.
This project is valuable in several avenues. It would advance material research, exploring flexible living hinge technology that can be related to other projects currently running at the Wyss Institute. It explores applications of grasshopper and arduino technology. It applies the art form of origami at an architectural scale, providing people with more exposure to the beauty inherent in folding, while creating a functional and interactive form.

Arduino technology via grasshopper will operate the cable tension. Sensors controlled by the arduino can also be incorporated to determine the sun conditions, telling the cables when to release tension to create a partially unfolded dome condition on rainy days or very sunny days.
As tension is applied to cables the outward force of the material is counteracted and the form is drawn flat
As tension is released in two cables the force in the related area pushes up and outward
When tension is released in all cables the form opens to its dome-like resting shapewhen tension is released in all cables, the form opens to its dome-like resting shape

To understand how a structure of architectural scale may emulate paper, i have been collaborating with James Weaver at Harvards
Wyss institute to prototype flexible polypropylene joints with their two-material 3D printer. This printer exists in a large scale
form and can produce large scale modules that form the final structure. Another method of fabrication is being tested with
corrugated polypropylene (Coroplast). The coroplast can be scored or heat-formed to produce a biased fold in the material. Four
foot x eight foot standard sheets can be welded to produce an unbroken architectural scaled sheet.

As the structure transforms, it provides different functions. Fully folded, it serves as a seat wall/raised podium; partially unfolded, it serves as a dome-like rain and sun shelter; fully unfolded (flat), it can be easily transported and shipped or stored. Cables running through the model put different levels of tension on the folds, producing uniquely differing forms. Transparent panels within the folds project varying shadow patterns on users and the adjacent site, depending on the degree of folding.

the project creates a new marsh and softened shoreline using a progression of techniques. Furthest inland are voronoi-shaped
vegetated gabions that slow stormwater runoff before it enters the creek. Anchored floating islands filter contaminated runoff and marsh terracing reduces wave height and energy in storm events and allows
future submerged aquatic plant growth, restoring marshland.

Stormwater is further retained within temporary floodable amphitheaters in the urban interior. In the event of a high level storm such as a
Category 4 hurricane, an emergency flood reservoir that doubles as a subsurface parking garage provides a fail safe option.

Over the past century and decade respectively, the manufacturing industry has severly declined while housing built at rapid rates to support the manufacturing industry has become largely abandoned. the abandoned infrastructure left behind in the wake of the manufacturing age can serve as a host for the new industry taking root, film.

The landscape serves as a backdrop to filming as well as public land for visitors interested in both the environment and the filming
industry. income from public interest and film revenue can be reinvested in the maintenance of the landscape and disassembly
operations, keeping income from the movie industry within the state.

This studio was sited in Libreville, Gabon. We were charged with focusing on the growing metropolitan capital city Libreville and its boundary relationship with the National Parks and pristine rainforests surrounding it, using parametric tools as a means to push our design.
With expanding commercial air traffic, the Libreville International Airport will need to find new space to expand. While local government officials explored new sites for a larger future airport beyond city boundaries, we proposed maintaining the current location and adding a second runway that is raised above the ground level.
The vaulting structure transitions from airport operational structures to runway supporting structure to river basin through a series of architectural vaults that respond to the variegated topographic and hydrologic conditions on site. This approach subdivides site vertically rather than horizontally, maximizing program-area ratio and minimizing site footprint. The project provides a means to expand the airport while avoiding the displacement of vital ecological and urban space.
