  • Joint Study Journal
    2008-2010 Partnerships in Learning17 Joint Study Journal The fantastic and the constructible Guest Editor: Kevin A. Cespedes Smart DOTS + Soft MOBS: NY 2028 Environmental Mobility by Mitchell Joachim, Aurel von Richthofen, Lydia Kallipoliti, Matt Cunningham, Fred James, Maria Aiolova Terreform ONE Smart DOTS is a radical strategy for rethinking the crossroad by “injecting” a system of intelligent environmental elements -“smart dots”- that can spread out from the core to the periphery, reorganizing the streetscape. The design scheme is a critique of the hard boundaries that the automobile inflicts to the function of the streetscape, where people are forced to move around cumbersome barriers and often dangerous metal cars. Our future street is a soft, gradient field: a “pixelated” urban landscape of distributed functions, with no hard borders between different street occupancies. Soft MOBS invokes a new technological and material arrangement for adapting cars to cities in pliable organized movements -“soft mobs,”- while it also suggests the use of softer vehicles where users can be in direct contact with the street. While architects and urban designers mostly take cars as given, and are content to design streets and public spaces around car movement, here we challenge and reverse this well-worn assumption. The design is organized in three phases 2008, 2020 and 2028 respectively. In Phase 2008, we suggest to take minor design interventions as immediate safety measurements against continual conflicts of pedestrians with automobiles. Phase 2020, signals a transition period, where car lanes are narrowed, pedestrian zones are widened, bicycle bollards are introduced with new car technology and gentle congestion.

Exposure to both rugged landscape and city skyline alike firmly established his singular design vision: a reverence for nature and materiality balanced by a highly sophisticated sensibility. Russell received his Architecture degree from the Rhode Island School of Design, an education which encompassed a rigorous and broad range of illustrative subjects including: fashion design, filmmaking, cultural history and classical literature. The multi-faceted curriculum provided a remarkable insight into an array of design disciplines and the ability to synthesize a multitude of creative methods. Dedicated to his profession, Russell began his career at Richard Meier Architects, followed by tenure at Kohn Pederson Fox.

  • Architectural Design November/December 2010 Profile No 208 Guest-Edited by Lydia Kallipoliti
    1 ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2010 PROFILE NO 208 GUEST-EDITED BY LYDIA KALLIPOLITI 2 ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN FORTHCOMING 2 TITLES JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2011 — PROFILE NO 209 TYPOLOGICAL URBANISM: PROJECTIVE CITIES GUEST-EDITED BY CHRISTOPHER CM LEE AND SAM JACOBY How can architecture today be simultaneously relevant to its urban context and at the very forefront of design? For a decade or so, iconic architecture has been fuelled by the market economy and consumers’ insatiable appetite for the novel and the different. The relentless speed and scale of urbanisation, with its ruptured, decentralised and fast-changing context, though, demands a rethink of the role of the designer and the function of architecture. This title of 2 confronts and questions the profession’s and academia’s current inability to confi dently and comprehensively describe, conceptualise, theorise and ultimately project new ideas for architecture in relation to the city. In so doing, it provides a potent alternative for projective cities: Typological Urbanism. This pursues and develops the strategies of typological reasoning in order to re-engage architecture with the city in both a critical and speculative manner. Architecture and urbanism are no longer seen as separate domains, or subservient to each other, but as synthesising disciplines and processes that allow an integrating and controlling effect on both the city and its built environment. • Signifi cant contributions from architects and thinkers: Peter Carl, Michael Hensel, Marina Lathouri, Martino Tattara and Pier Vittorio Aureli. • Featured architects include: Ben van Berkel & Caroline Bos of UNStudio, DOGMA, Toyo Volume No Ito & Associates, l’AUC, OMA, SANAA and Serie Architects.

    The Work of Terreform ONE Mitchell Joachim Terreform ONE and New York University, USA Alternative Practice At this stage, we’ve deliberately sought to avoid maintaining a traditional architecture office. We did not desire to ceaselessly toil for a private client or affluent developer. To operate as a nonprofit group inside a cluster of other innovative tech companies marks us as distinctive. Our studio space is simi- lar to a “science garage.” The garage has long been the pinnacle of American invention. It’s an informal anarchic space where everything can be physically manipulated. There is nothing sacred in a garage. One can also identify them as “hackerspaces.” Located in an urban fringe zone, such a variegated space departs drastically from the cherished atelier models of previous centuries. We Image 1 Cricket Shelter find this flowing topology the best-suited spatial arrangement for producing and Farm Credit: Mitchell Joachim, Terreform ONE projects that react dynamically to undeviating, transient, or long-lasting issues. WHITE PAPERS 2019 143 As architectural designers confronted with a cumulative assortment of tech- nical, manufactured, formalistic, and speculative alternatives, it becomes a formidable task to find a focus. It becomes simpler to mix one’s designs from numerous sources and check its justification to the measurable and physical aspects, be it scientific or economic. This narrow-minded inclina- tion, arguably resulting from a reaction to the utter expansive nature of the field, from our outlook, has led to a palpable level of indifference resulting in abundant forms of conflict within the discourse. This anesthetized state within which others function becomes an involuntary proliferation of the banal, the exceedingly consumptive, the inconsequential, and the haphazard.
