Numeric Network Analysis (NNA) V2.
|
Nj Namju Lee (NJ Studio) and Dr. Jung Hyun Woo (AxU Platform) have developed the NNA V2. for Rhino Grasshopper. The Beta 2 version is officially listed on the Food4Rhino in Oct. 7th 2020.
NNA offers easy approaches for measuring distances and analyzing various accessibility and centrality concepts with spatial networks. There are new features and functionalities to measure the values of spatial networks, locations, buildings, and travel cost/time. This add-on calculates a wide range of properties of mobility analysis to accelerate their design thinking and decision-making. Architects, designers, urban designers, and planners who engage with the spatial analyses for their design process can interactively evaluate designated networks, redesign paths/circulations, and new building location impacts that thoroughly improve the design outcome. we are looking forward to listening to your feedback in making results better.

Accessibility Impact of Transit Area in Seoul
|
|
This dissertation used multidimensional assessment methods for transit development areas associated with accessibility, land use, building density and diversity, population, socio-economic, and transit connections. The research applied a combined analysis framework using spatial network analysis for subway services, pedestrian flows, statistical approaches, and visual studies. The regional subway accessibility assessment investigated the pattern of supply for citywide subway service. The pedestrian accessibility assessment revealed the pattern of pedestrian behaviors for potential trips between a subway station and other places on foot in transit development areas. Measuring walk-ability helped understand how diversity, density, and design factors of station areas influence the subway user’s choices. Statistical analyses revealed the causal relationship between urban factors and transit demand in station development areas, helping planners and policymakers objectively examine the urban formation and transit users’ needs. Visualization analyses of urban forms and architectural typologies in transit development areas were also conducted as a critical component of the design research to conclude the relationship between urban form and pedestrian accessibility around station areas.
This research also used Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) planning principles to measure the quality of transit development environments and understand the node-place contexts in the city. TOD pursues sustainable urban developments through compact growth, mixed-use zoning, and pedestrian-friendly neighborhood design in cooperation with urban transit developments. TOD studies have been conducted in various fields with different perspectives to resolve urban problems such as low-density development, urban sprawl, traffic congestion, long-distressed urban districts, and environmental degradation. This dissertation also examined sustainable transit development strategies, considering both local and regional contexts.

Digital tools and multiplicity:
towards a relational understanding of space, time and value
|
|
|
The use of simulation of landscape processes, techniques of cartographic representation and digital interfaces can help us move towards a relational form of understanding design at territorial scale. It does so by focusing on how synthetic thinking influences both our perception and definition of time, but also how it addresses novelty within the construction of tacit responses to territorial dynamics. Three projects, where digital tools act as mediator between the designer and the different actors involved in territorial process; this form of openness and multiplicity unveils political tensions behind the design process will be introduced. Synthetic time, as design material, has implications in the political dimension of the territorial project, bringing questions about the nature of the project itself and its form of documentation. The need to understand the political nature behind human agency and its relations to material process can bring further relevance to work with these techniques.

The Green Line, Manhattan
|
|
The Green Line: Ecological Trajectory of Broadway project illustrates a vision for Broadway through a historical, ecological, and geomorphological investigation of Manhattan. The project focuses on evolutionary urban infrastructure while addressing the city's public space challenges. The city's existing public infrastructure will be reviewed and an alternative idea will be proposed for the future of Broadway. While historically Broadway has functioned as a transportation spine for Manhattan, the diagonal path will be transformed to green infrastructure, creating a new public space asset as an ecological benefit road within the city grid.

Bio Digital City, Tomorrow’s Seoul

Bio Digital City, Tomorrow’s Seoul is a workshop to discuss the topic about how to create self-sustaining city. Giving lecturing on urban eco-systems and leading hand-on workshop for Students’ design works including architectural urban typology development and fabrications during the workshop.
Teaching Overview.
Recently urban agriculture has been recognized as a significant industry to improve the quality of citizens' lives along with the attention to healthy foods. Frank Llyod Wright suggested "Broadacre city (1934)" was an innovative theroy and idea which showed the potential of future agriculture city with cutting-edge transportation technologies. Each family can own independent farming area and self-sustainable lives with architectural environment which suggested true independent live in the urban area. So urban agriculture has been discussed and developed as a significant feature in modern architectural studies.
In team D, we contemplated about the role of urban agriculture in Seoul, benefits and potential use through workshops with students. It started with research questions about urban agriculture and was guided into 1. how to merge digital media technologies to urban agriculture, 2. how to connect physically remote places with diverse functions and 3. how to utilize media as a communication and design method to promote residents' active participation. We reached to a conclusion to select three areas in Seoul for students to propose design ideas appropriate for each region. The efficiencies of media and new experiences in architectural spaces in the context of urban agriculture is provided along the way. They were also guided to systematically develop their methodology to establish and realize their ideas.
Among the topics of The food independent city Seoul, The Edible & Strange City, Seoul and For City Health Seoul, the most useful digital feature was the sharing environment to promote users' active communication and information exchange. Team A proposed architectural design with Utopian urban scenarios. Self-sustainable city refers to the system to produces and consumes itself. Considering the high population density in Seoul, the research for land size to produce a day-amount food for a Seoul citizen(based on 2,500kcal a day standard) was conducted. If the given site (Ichon Apartment complex, Han river mansion areas) is not enough, the solution had to be suggested through design ideas. We also spent a good time discussing the sustainable road map in urban context how residents will be provided with source and consume the foods. Team B proposed Edible park in the city to design a space to provide new experiences and activities for citizens. Considering the climate and site's bio-characteristics (Dangsan factory site and Lotte car repair sites), the research for the edible garden was performed. It also included the connection among open market, restaurants and urban farms to consider the economic sustainability as well. The easiest way to be provided with food in the city is supermarket. But when you look into all the food mileage of most of the products in the market, the price inevitably goes up on the top of all the emissions made on the way. So Mobile farm unit, Portable space that can be used in each home were designed and proposed. The site was Ichon Apartment area where complex residential areas are located.
Team A,B and C commonly worked on the idea of connection through mobile to be provided with information of plants, ideas for farming and distribution- which is natural communication among residents through media. Going further from there, the students were guided to consider the media technology center, common and personal farming with architectures optimized for solar energy and energy efficiencies. The final outcome of project was instructed to be made in video presentation with scenarios and storyboards were also made for clear message delivery with interesting visual effects. These processes themselves were good opportunity for students to learn the presentations of architecture in different formats.
Lastly, urban agriculture has enough potential to work as alternative for urbanization problems Seoul is already going through. Especially the landscape of Seoul full with grey buildings due to rapid population density growth can be solved by urban agriculture which can provide green views as well as efficient city functions. More than anything it can contribute to create eco-friendly Seoul where green plants bring flowers, birds and bees all together.

Urban Fiction in Los Angeles
Stranger than fiction: LA was not originally a city by the shore, but now, the coastline area is the most desirable place to live. Surfers in 1970s faced a different reality. LA beaches were the perfect ground for a culture based on freedom, enjoyment, and creativity. Reyner Banham approach to read the city connects different levels of urban context, from the architectural to the social and ecological ones. Surfurbia is the ecology of social life and networking.
