snodal network






Starting with medical tube diagrams, a organizational model was created by the process of applying pins or constraints to a network. Accupuncture became a theoretical model, utilizing local pressure points to create maximum effects on the structure. Eventually, nodal networks were developed at both the macro scale (the urban scale) and the micro scale (a structural pavilion prototype) to create a series of programmatic follies at Columbus Circle in New York City.

This is my proposal for the expansion of Columbia University into the adjacent neighborhood of Harlem and Manahattanville. The [CRAMP]us is designed to have a minimal social and political impact to the surrounding community of Harlem, by merely touching down with structural elevator cores on pre-existing open lots. The remaining 5.5 million square feet of program is built above these pillars, allowing for future real estate to be developed on the site below. The C(r)ampus would be constructed in phases; 1) a phase of vertical support structures 2) constructing a ribbon-like network of programmable space using a two-dimensional frame structural system 3) providing flexible and future programmable space to be cantilevered off of the main structure up to a maximum capacity.

Architecture students create designs for carbon-neutral campus




CLEMSON — An idea to turn Clemson University's Memorial Stadium into a giant solar-power generator was one of three winners of the first McMahan Awards for Sustainability.
The Carbon Neutral Clemson project challenged about 300 architecture students to spend their first five days back in class working on proposals to meet the goal of a carbon-neutral campus.
English architect Graham Farmer from the University of Nottingham and Canadian architect Richard Kroeker of Halifax served as judges. At the conclusion of the project, the judges presented some of the best proposals back to the students and named three winners: "Bringing Life Into Death Valley," "Maximizing Landscapes" and "The Harvest."
The student teams won $250 each for the effort, but the real value of the project was found in the exercise itself and in the quality of the proposals.
"Many of these proposals are such good ideas you should see if you can get them built," Farmer said. "The best of the entries show clear, simple ideas supported by an understanding of the technical aspects needed to make them work."
"Bringing Life Into Death Valley" by Nic Fonner, Will Wingfield, Tim Hoskins and Meg Chandler, calls for fitting photovoltaic cells onto the foldable backs of stadium seats. When the stadium is unoccupied the seats would be folded down to absorb solar energy and produce electricity.
"The Harvest" by Nathan Missel, Mandy Mobley, Clint Riddle, Michael Ward and Alisha White would make the most of campus trees after they die. Their proposal calls for cutting the dead trees into slats that would be woven, like a basket, into a rooftop gallery on Lee Hall. The structure would support vegetation that would protect the building from ultraviolet rays.
"Maximizing Landscapes" by Paul Kennedy, Ashley Ortmann, Shawn McKeever and Thomas Weir, explored ways to minimize consumption and maximize landscapes to create an overall more sustainable campus.
"What a great way to begin the term," said Ted Cavanagh, chairman of the School of Architecture. "It brings every student in the school together to respond to a common challenge. The bar has been set high. It shows that the whole school has made a commitment to treat sustainability as the main focus of building."
A Carbon Neutral Clemson challenged students to create designs where absorption of carbon is equal to or greater than emission.
The McMahan Awards for Sustainability are supported by Clemson University's McMahan Fund for Excellence.

prototipo di casa unifamiliare .low-energy green


AKA Architetti just won an international competition for their development of a single-family home prototype that's low-energy and very stylish. Their design, pictured above and below, will be commercialized in Germany, Switzerland, and Italy, with the first units in Darb, Germany in 2008. The residential prototype calls for eco-friendly materials, photovoltaics on the pitched roof, and energy-saving devices and appliances. The home will be sufficiently roomy at a decent 1,400 sf big, too

guide for finding a comfortable.safe.and energy efficient home


Tom Konrad is an Analyst at Alternative Energy Stocks, where he writes about investing in renewable energy and energy efficiency companies. This article is a guest post for Jetson Green.
As a Jetson Green reader, you probably love efficient, modern homes, and probably dream of building your own one day. But that may not be much help if the home you are looking for today is your next rental, or you need to live in an area where land is not available to build your own place. You may find yourself looking at existing homes instead. (Existing homes account for 85% of the homes sold each year, and more of the rentals).
At the 2007 Energy Star Summit, which I attended December 3rd and 4th, I sat in on multiple workshops geared towards Energy Auditors, the people who verify the performance of your home and recommend cost-effective improvements. After three of these workshops, I decided I will never buy a house that is not a new Energy Star, Built Green, or LEED certified one, without first having a home energy audit by a professional auditor, no matter what the price. Each of the above ratings/certifications included some form of energy and safety audit

secret fortress hideout .a model lvl prefab home


I'm loving the fact that prefab buyers are starting blogs to journal their process -- it's quite informational for everyone out there that would like to do the same. There's a blog called the Secret Fortress Hideout documenting the progress of a "super-cool, prefab home 'somewhere' in the wilds of Northwest Arkansas." They're in the final stages of construction, and I'm excitedly waiting final photos of both the exterior and interior.
It is, as you can tell from the images, a Rocio Romero designed home, the LVL Model. The LVL Model is 1,453 sf and 25'1" x 59'6", including a living room, dining room, kitchen, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and closets. Click here to buy your own (it is Christmas after all, why not?).
