INTRO

INDUSTRIAL UP-CYCLING is a design exploration which focuses on the concept of building as framework. It attempts to ascribe to the principles outlined in Delirious, New York of the concept of the vertical skyscraper, the beauty in which is the possibility of a limitless variety of self-contained worlds within a single building.

The skeleton of the 1909 theorem postulates that Manhattan Skyscraper as a utopian formula for the unlimited creating of virgin sites on a single urban location. Since each of these sites is to meet its own particular programmatic destinybeyond the architects controlthe Skyscraper is the instrument of a new form of unknowable urbanism.

The primary programmatic goal of this challenge was the design of a fabrication lab and studio for the School of Architecture at the University of Southern California. As such, INDUSTRIAL UP-CYCLING focuses on emphasizing the importance of exibility for the student, and strives to provide ample opportunities for material exploration and fabrication.

INDUSTRIAL UP-CYCLING manifests as a dialogue between two major components: the structure and the vessel, or pod. These are the elements upon which initial construction is focusedthe formation of framework. The secondary components are intended to be highly exible, individualized explorations that take place throughout the lifecycle of the building, by students, researchers, and studio groups. Students will occupy a pod for a set period of time, through which they will use the existing framework to explore architectural elements such as faade, skin, mechanical systems, et ceterathe potential options limited only by the structural framework. The pods themselves also represent an opportunity for variability, in that if a given shape or size is insucient or undesirable, it may be substituted with an appropriate alternative. Ultimately our goal is the manifestation of a building which can provide the greatest exibility to support student learning, development, and imagination.

The life inside the building is correspondingly fractured: on level 82 a donkey shrinks back from the void, on 81 a cosmopolitan couple hails an airplane. Incidents on the oors are so brutally disjointed that they cannot conceivably be part of a single scenario. The disconnectedness of the aerial plots seemingly conicts with the fact that, together, they add up to a single building. The diagram strongly suggests even that the structure is a whole exactly to the extent that the individuality of the platforms is preserved and exploited, that its success should be measured by the degree to which the structure frames their coexistence without interfering with their destinies.

STRUCTURE

In the intial design the structure is to be constructed of wide ange (I-beams). Due to buget restrictio,n, weight and contruc-

tability we replaced the I-beams with laminated OSB. The 4x8 OSB were CNC

milled to be frabricated to the correct dimension and shape. The boards were

then sanded down and laminated along with being bolted together by 1/2 steel

rods and nuts.
