TIMBER IN THE CITY

TIMBER INTHE CITY The design challenge is to envision a wood mid-rise, mixed-use complex with affordable housing units in RED HOOK, an in-flux, and increasingly vibrant Brooklyn neighborhood. Entries should interpret, invent, and deploy numerous methods of building systems, with a focus on innovations in WOOD DESIGN. CONTENTS Introduction/Challenge 02 Program 04 Guidelines 07 Recourses 10 Competition Organizers 12 TIMBER IN THE CITY www.acsa-arch.org/competitions 1 INTRODUCTION The Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) is pleased to announce TIMBER IN THE CITY: Urban Habitats Competition for the 2012-2013 academic year. The competition is a partnership between the Binational Softwood Lumber Council (BSLC), the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) and the School of Constructed Environments at Parsons The New School for Design (SCE). The program is intended to engage students and recent graduates, working individually or in teams to imagine the repurposing of our existing cities with buildings that are made from renewable resources, offer expedient affordable construction, innovate with new and old wooden materials, and provide healthy living / working environments. THE CHALLENGE The competition challenges participants to design a mid-rise, mixed-use complex with affordable housing units, a job training/educational facility, a center for innovative manufacturing of wood technology, and a distribution center. The project site is in Red Hook, Brooklyn a neighborhood in some flux, cut off from much of Brooklyn geographically, yet increasingly vibrant. Aspiring to regenerate a dissipating urban manufacturing sector and address the housing needs of New York City, entrants will be asked to design a place for the creation of originative vocational opportunities embracing new wood technology. Entrants will be challenged to propose construction systems in scenarios that draw optimally on the performance characteristics of a variety of wood technologies. Red Hook. Online image. Flickr. TIMBER IN THE CITY www.acsa-arch.org/competitions 2 Image provided by: naturally:wood TIMBER The competition will challenge participants to interpret, invent, and deploy numerous methods of building systems, with a focus on innovations in wood design on a real site. For thousands of years, solid wood has been used as a building material. Timber is an ideal green building material: it is well suited for a broad range of structural and aesthetic applications, it offers high performance characteristics; and wood is an economic driver to maintain forests and protect jobs in our communities. CRITERIA FOR JUDGING Criteria for the judging of submissions will include: timber/wood as the primary structural material, creative and innovative use of timber/wood in the design solution, successful response of the design to its surrounding context, and successful response to basic architectural concepts such as human activity needs, structural integrity, and coherence of architectural vocabulary. SCHEDULE MARCH 6, 2013 MAY 22, 2013 JULY 2013 AWARDS Registration Deadline Submission Deadline Winners Announced Winning students, their faculty sponsors, and recent graduate/emerging professionals will receive cash prizes totaling $30,000. The design jury will meet July 2013, to select winning projects and honorable mentions. Winners and their faculty sponsors will be notified of the competition results directly. A list of winning projects will be posted on the ACSA website (www.acsa-arch.org). 1ST PRIZE: STUDENT $7,500 2NDPRIZE: STUDENT $5,000 3RDPRIZE: STUDENT $2,500 FACULTY SPONSOR $2,500 FACULTY SPONSOR $1,500 FACULTY SPONSOR $1,000 RECENT GRADUATE AWARD:$10,000 TIMBER IN THE CITY www.acsa-arch.org/competitions 3 PROGRAM The diversified program proposes several spatial conditions, span distances, and environmental criteria in order to elicit a diverse group of architectural compositions and technological solutions that incorporate the use of differing structural, framing, and detail-oriented components. Such conditions may be: • Vertical mid-rise framing (i.e. Mass Timber Systems such as CLT and FFTT) • Interior partitioning (stud framing or modular panelized systems) • Exterior cladding (modular assemblies) • Long-span structure (glulam beams, truss joists, or other composite members) Following are the building program requirements: RESIDENCE BIKE SHARE + SHOP WOOD PRODUCTION DIGITAL PRODUCTION Residences in this project are a mix of small units for single or double occupancy and larger, family-based units with more than one bedroom. All apartments must have exposuretonaturallightandair,aswellasroomsthatmeetminimumsizerequirements of the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) As Red Hook has limited public transit and is somewhat isolated from surrounding neighborhoods of Brooklyn, a bicycle share hub and central repair shop is required as an integral component of this new building. The facility will host manufacturing equipment for assembly processes related to the fabrication of elements for the construction of wood buildings. The facility will also accommodate packing and staging areas in order to facilitate eventual shipping of this material, locally and regionally. Fabrication of wood or other associated componentry at a smaller scale will occur here. This facility will be a cutting edge, digitally-based laboratory for the exploration of manufacturing processes. While connected to and complementary of the larger scale workshop and manufacturing facility, this facility will also be a training and teaching facility with classrooms related to skill development in wood manufacturing. Catalyzing urban manufacturing, these WOOD & DIGITAL Production facilities will be a cutting-edge workshop and commercial venture relating small to large-scale building componentry. These facilities will be run by a single umbrella organization and consists of a series of multi-scaled services related to production, work training, and education. The umbrella organization will maintain and administer the entirety of these fabrication facilities. While the individual facilities may be accessed separately and contain distinctly different functions, their complementary nature needs to be taken under consideration in terms of design adjacencies as well as smart separation.
