Re-Visioning Belmont Village | The Boston Architectural College |Fall 2015Duration: 16 Weeks

Jack CochranCarl Koepcke

Page 6: Rutvik Rao_Portfolio

Constructed in 1949, Belmont Village has provided safe, and affordable housing for families and veterans for more than a half century. However, as is common wi th many of the hous ing authority developments built in mid-century, the 100- unit public housing development is in dire need of modernization and a thoughtful plan for its enduring future.

(Re)Visioning Belmont Village: Existing Conditions & Site Analysis

M i s s i o n :We worked to identify the opportunities and solutions for improving the Belmont Village Apartments. A n a l y s i s : Visiting the site, studying the existing condition, and gathering critical and useful information, resulted in helping us understand the unique challenges and opportunities this project presented.R e d e s i g n :We proposed several levels of minimal and intermediate renovations to the existing buildings, as well as a complete redesign to the site. This gave the client many options when researching nancing and logistic planning for this project.

Intermediate Site Renovations:

By adding on to the back of the existing units, we can increase the size and number of bedrooms on all units. This proposal also explored the basement apartment. These additions would not be made to every building on site, but the ones that had the room in the back. By doing this we can expand up to 8 of the existing 25 buildings. 03.

We aimed to provide the client with a menu of options for improving the conditions of Belmont Village. It is our intention and understanding that many of these solutions presented may explored in concert with each other. By exploring these possibilities, we hope to create a greater dialogue of possible of nance, logistics, and design.

Exercise: To choose a contemporary design practice to study from a provided list and to articulate it graphically and should contain minimal text, and should be designed, formatted and composed to be “read” without verbal explanations. Ecosistema Urbano is a Madrid based group of architects and urban designers operating within the elds of urbanism, architecture, engineering and sociology. To better understand and design environments, spaces and dynamics they approach an urban social design method and thus integrate these ideas to enhance their deeper understanding. Social interaction is one of the key factors of their design approach. The rm resorts to involving the users and generate design ideas from their inputs and further make advances to their designs. Their global reach with projects and clients have earned them a formidable space of an urban design work setting.

Studio 7Our team consists of 7 design students from different disciplines. We work together by combining our different strengths and ideas.

The IdeaWe wanted to engage the community by getting them involved and talking to one another about issues in their community, neighborhood, and city. A successful way to do this is to create a social interaction in the community.It was important to also include different age groups, so we created a game that could engage all ages, by asking questions and providing visual feedback for the community.The issue we are addressing in this particular instance is recycling in boston.

The Materials to build our wall consist of: clear plexi glass, colored plexi glass and recycled plastic bottles. The clear plexi glass remains as one sheet but small holes are cut out of it. We use the remaining discs as part of our community engagement. The holes are dimensioned to t the plastic bottles, which are inserted, and secured by their caps. The colored plexi glass is cut into discs which are used to engage the community by representing their feedback to a given question. The recycled plastic bottles are cut in half, the colored discs are dimensioned so that they t perfectly inside the end of the bottle.

Step One:Toss the clear chip into one of the empty half cut plastic bottles on the wall.Step Two:Choose your answer to the question.

Step Three:W r i t e y o u r r e a s o n a n d comments

Step Four:P l a c e t h e colored disc w i t h y o u r answer onto the wall.

As each member o f the community participates, the wall of empty bottles becomes full of color. Since the colors represents different answers, the wall visually illustrates the feedback of the community about an issue occurring in the i r ne ighborhood. Th i s creates conversation, action and change throughout the community.

This community engagement project can be implemented virtually anywhere. The wall can be constructed in any environment with enough open space to get the community involved, answering questions, and providing feedback in order to improve current issues in their city.

Client Prole : The family is an American family from California, US. The homeowner is a father who is a traveling automobile company employee, a mother who works as a banker for a national bank and two young and energetic kids both in their high schools. The family loves traveling and have a love for exquisite vacation locations and beaches. Their ideal home is a place that overlooks a very scenic and exotic location. The mother has a degree in design and prefers a very organized and conceptually progressive style of designing.

Lifestyle Preference: The family never leaves out an opportunity to go on a vacation and believe in spending quality time together during their holidays. The couple are in their mid 30’s and entertaining their close friends is one of their interests and expect many guests whilst they are not busy working. Their taste is unique in its own form and they don't hesitate in shelling some bucks on the things that interest them. They rmly believe in Japanese traditions and culture and are keen followers of Zen style interior design elements. Zen is simple and uniform and declares a serene and tranquil look and feel within the interiors. It is a culturally strong design and it dominates itself throughout the space.

The Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park is the largest hot spring in the United States, and the third largest in the world. It is located in the Midway Geyser Basin. Grand Prismatic Spring was noted by geologists and named by them for its striking coloration. Its colors match the rainbow dispersion of white light by an optical prism: red, orange, yellow, green, and blue.

Modernism as Instrumental Rationalism: Charlotte Perriand (24 October 1903 – 27 October 1999) was a French architect and designer. Her work aimed to create functional living spaces in the belief that better design helped in creating a better society. After applying to work at Le Corbusier's studio in 1927 and being famously rejected with the reply "We don't embroider cushions here", Perriand renovated her apartment into a room with a large bar made of aluminium glass and chrome. She recreated this for the Salon d'Automne, gaining notice from Le Corbusier's partner, Pierre Jeanneret, convincing Corbusier to offer her a job in furniture design.

Tranquility: Designed as a modern retreat with a strong geometric aesthetic, this vacation home offers an open oor plan that steps into the scenic Prismatic Spring. The pure form of the home's volumes is enhanced through sustainable design methods such as daylighting, natural ventilation, and decreased site disturbance.

Uniformity: Uniformity and consistency help users extract meaning from the design of an application, keeping them focused on the tasks and not distracted by design ambiguities. Uniformity throughout a site is vital to ensuring that viewers do not have to make mental leaps to digest the site's content. Elements such as visual hierarchy, proportion, alignment, and typography play major parts in the uniformity of a design. They allow for users to quickly extract meaning from each screen and form a mental model with which to work.

Culture & Tradition in Design: Decorating with culture in mind is a way to express those beliefs and lifestyle factors that make a family represent who they are. The statement that culture makes in your home has the ability to create a domino effect that can be extremely positive. It's imperative that the space you inhabit exist as a reection of your personality, taste and style.

‘La maison au bord de l'eau': A House on the Waterfront:

One of Charlotte Perriand's acclaimed works that never saw physical execution, the plans for 'the house on the waterfront' were first drafted over eighty years ago, in 1934. The house on the waterfront was envisaged as a weekend leisure home, a brightly illuminated space with reference to the vast and spread out context of the seashore. It also successfully introduced the exterior within the structure's perimeter, with its large airy terrace and views of the surrounding landscape. The concept and language of design was deeply engraved with a centrifugal division of an interior and exterior environment. The central open space serving as a porch, overlooking the waters was crafted to be as simple and organic to its embodied experience. “Her basic idea was to design a house that everybody could enjoy. It was more or less a superior sort of tent: superior in that it was rigid and built on piles. As a result, you could make it larger as necessary, thanks to the space available underneath and a supplementary modular system.” The prefabricating form of constructing a house provided any forms of future expansions as wished by the owners of this house types, much similar to what the modern pre-fabricated container housing supports. The horizontal and vertical expansion of such house type was inversely related to the future financial capacity of the owner and their increasing family size. Perriand opted for a U-shaped layout that ringed a canopy-covered terrace and sliding floor-to-ceiling screens to maximize exposure to light and the elements. The structure was built on pillars to allow a garage and a storage area on the ground floor. This lack of foundations is based on some farms in Switzerland and Japanese architecture traditions.

Bubble diagrams were free owing concepts that helped me start getting ideas for the design of the space. Keeping the site programming and site photographs taken as reference to foster the process. Later on, these spaces were further developed to include specic rooms, circulation, and designated spaces in the block diagrams to calculate space allocation and the space organization of each function within the oor plans.

Flooring: Light Tape Luminescence Flooring Light Tape employs a radically distinctive and patent-protected form of electroluminescent technology. It exists in the form of ultra-low-prole, lightweight panels and strips that seamlessly and evenly illuminate from edge to edge. The philosophy behind the product is simple: a light’s physical design should not restrict design or artistic vision. With Light Tape, you have the possibility to turn anything into the light. That’s where our specics stop and your creativity starts.Wall Display Surfaces/ Digital Analog ScreensAdjustable photovoltaic windows, an edgeless at-screen television and a touch-screen set of interactive bathroom mirror monitors.Mobile Display Units/Counters: Moving ColorThese textured glass tiles alter in color with changes in temperature. They are currently offered in a range of colors and sensitivities, the tiles change color based on ambient temperature, body temperature or water temperature – whatever they’re touching.

Project 2: Complexity Through Texture: An Interior Partition Wall Option Inspired from Project 1: The waveform surface generated with the help of a laser cutter machine was cut into strips and divided onto the planar surface vertically. Plotting the form in plan and then further developing it into an organic mobile interior partition wall which could be placed in a hallway, a large space as an art form, exterior facade of a building or to create private pocket spaces in a large hall. The surface creates a sense of a manipulative movement pattern which guides the user to a desired spot. 46.

Movement Manipulations for Circulation in a Space. Organic Exterior Facade, Depth to dene the Entrance

Wall within an Art Exhibition Space as an Art in itself. Undulations generating Private Meeting Spaces.

Inspirations and Application Developments: Image Source: http://www.robcubbon.com/images/pavement-

Project 1: Flat to Form: An Interior Wall Clad Option Inspired from a Wave’s Undulated Forms: The organic surface of the wall was generated with the help of a laser cutting machine and by understanding the properties of the material. The strips are inserted vertically into the notches of a back panel which is a set of uniformly divided horizontal members. This xed individual 2d geometry integrates within itself to generate a surface which follows a singular patter to present itself as an undulated surface. This repetitive process can add an aesthetic visual to a straight wall and also add a positive negative surface. The application of this series can be used in furniture design, interior wall surfaces, exterior wall surfaces and product design with great exibility. The surface also generates a manipulative movement pattern in elevation and also posseses to be re-generated as a space divider wall.
