WIP was created for two reasons. The first to serve as an outlet for all the great work and ideas that fling around the practice but, for one reason or another, might never see the light of day. Sketches. Ideas. Doodles. Those first sparks that crackle with energy, the ones that take your breath away because of their potential…but sadly get placed back in a drawer because, well, they’re just not right for this project or that client. In this regard, WIP has become a powerful recruiting tool for us because it celebrates a culture that truly believes good ideas can come from anyone and anywhere. We don’t care where you are in your career, or where you stand in the corporate hierarchy, the best idea wins. Always. WIP’s second purpose has always been to elevate the quality of design at RTKL—to create a public forum for our best work to be judged, assessed and critiqued by outside professionals. This is the soul-baring part, and it’s by far the most difficult and wrenching because it reveals who we are at a vulnerable and formative stage. Do we measure up? This year, we took this second purpose to heart and set out to raise the bar as much as we could. We made the submission requirements more demanding, more deliberate and more specific, especially with regard to performance metrics. Our goal is to push our designers to think more about why they do things and the impact their work has on the world. And, by and large, it worked. This year we received more entries than we have in the history of WIP. The usual geographic diversity is there, as is the range of project typology, but the quality and seriousness of purpose seem to be markedly higher than previous years. Indeed, what seemed to impress the jury the most were those projects that set out to make a difference in people’s lives—those that go beyond a purely creative or aesthetic pursuit to reflect a clear sense of purpose and exposition. This is a big step for a (largely) commercial practice like RTKL, and it could be the start of something quite wonderful. As always, the jury was Herculean. They fought their way through the first crop of entries but quickly zeroed in on the stand-outs. Sure, there were differences of opinion, and the conversation got heated, but that’s the thing about people who know what they’re doing—they know what they’re doing. Their insights and comments were spot on and, by late afternoon, they had their winners. And so have we. Enjoy. ZOKA ZOLA is a -based architect.

Shu-han Liao Danxi Zou — ZOKA ZOLA Transportation infrastructure is a major concern for cities around the world as populations continue to increase. Public systems can offer a reprieve on the roadways, but present a set of challenges all their own. High development costs and community opposition sometimes put these projects on the shelf. As part of a competition for the Chicago Transit Authority and Chicago Architecture Foundation, this team set out to create a solution that could benefit residents and add value to Chicago’s urban landscape. Dubbed Bus Rapid Transit, or BRT, this station prototype offers an enhanced, light rail-like transit experience at approximately 1/3 the cost per linear mile. Utilizing existing roadways, the BRT system stitches existing transit modes and corridors together, while rejuvenating neighborhoods at the pedestrian scale. But don’t confuse them with bus shelters; they increase the comfort, speed and ease of travel for users. The incorporation of energy-saving features is projected to save the transit department 40% on energy costs annually. The end result is a design that enhances the commuter experience without driving up costs for transportation operators.

Years of neglect and decay have taken their toll on the Tietê River and the residents along its banks. Over the past century, the river has been channelized and overwhelmed by untreated waste, while parks and recreational areas have devolved to accommodate freeway traffic overload. In a landmark initiative to change these conditions, RTKL has partnered with a number of industry leaders to take back the river. The plan is based on four major themes: reconnect, rewind, reweave and restart. The project site runs 15km in length and will reclaim a central area of land that is equivalent to the entire island of Manhattan. The solution will address the major issues that have plagued the area including flooding, water quality and failed transportation networks. The hope is that these revitalization efforts will not only restore the river to its former glory, but usher in a new era of economic development along the Tietê River.

Just across the river from the city that never sleeps lies one of the nation’s largest urban master plan developments. Boasting over two million square feet of space, the Riverwalk at Port Imperial transforms former industrial brownfield land into a world-class, mixed-use community. The development makes the pedestrian lifestyle a priority within the context of the riverfront and Manhattan views. Incorporating green roofs and amenity gardens helps set the scene, while the community’s connection to Manhattan’s ferry service provides easy access to the city. These two buildings are part of RTKL’s long-term and ongoing efforts within this development. Upon completion, it will provide a vibrant new community just a quick ferry ride away from the hustle and bustle of New York City. XI’AN MAIKE BUSINESS CENTER (GRAND HYATT XI’AN) Xi’an, China

Massive mixed-use projects often require an all-hands-on-deck effort. Building a complex like this, in one of China’s oldest cities and with pre-existing design work, can certainly up the ante. Knowing that they had to start from scratch, the design team decided to think outside the box. By shifting the rules and implementing new ideas, they created a mixed-use development that works. The hotel employs an innovative food and beverage bridge concept to increase connectivity between the spaces. At the same time, the office tower emphasizes sustainable elements and serves as a guide for future tower developments in the region. The final design benefits both the user and the environment.

Using the building’s context and cultural influences as a guide, the design team set out to create a community hub that would add value to this burgeoning region.
