arch 310

Work coming out of studio arch 310 run by Steve Hardy in his newly appointed post at the University of Nebraska. The studio has looked at alternative means of high speed travel within the US wholly within the spectrum of new high speed airships as a low carbon and low infrastructural alternative to short haul airplane travel. The design brief deals with relatively long-span structures and large volumes. Structure obviously plays an important role in such projects. The challenge is to make the stucture work in multiple ways; dual performance structures which, for example performs to collect water aswell as to dispersion solar infiltration, ornamental structure, qualitive structure which modulates acoustic properties etc. Spatial genotypes are also taken into consideration rather than working on surface articulation or structural patterns. This requires early models operating on three scales - the spatial module, the structural definition and the surface articulation.

More work to come soon…….

lmu unit 4 2008

A selection of work from this years ufo unit 4 at london metropolitan university

This year’s research and design briefs on the family home and the atypicality of a typical floodplain development in the UK. The unit readily accepts the need for a radical typological and morphological change in how these buildings meet the ground and hence interface with the floodplain. Alleviating direct ground contact with living space could potentially save billions of pounds in future damages and fundamentally readdress the spatial and typological configurations of the dwellings. Working between the master plan and the individual housing unit, we will investigate an array of homes along a proposed street and the associated potential of parametric modulation within the series. We will discuss the qualitative effects and sociological affects of these serial modulations and explore the internal differentiation and spatial individuality that can be grown through morphing the serial parameters.
