387 / Lindsey Dierig and Elyse Killkelley: Daekwon Park

Lindsey Dierig and Elyse Killkelley from Cincinnati — “Lindsey Dierig and Elyse Killkelley's ARC 409 project creates an innovative timber structural system that enhances the urban environment of Syracuse. Timber ribs reach to 115ft and are infilled with the circulation and necessary systems for the biology labs and science classrooms inside of the Environmental Sciences Vocational Highschool. The building features a pulley operated aquaponic greenhouse and a co-op market to eliminate Syracuse's food desert and create comprehensive education surrounding green technologies.”

Name of Project: Growing Syracuse

Project Description: The Growing Syracuse Building acts as a physical manifestation of the dichotomy between nature and technology; the curving mass timber facade bleeds into the rigid structure, acting as service spaces, furniture and informal spatial dividers. The curving mass timber facade changes thickness throughout the building curving in to create opportunities for fenestration that frame views to the surrounding context. Carving and materiality starkly contrasts from the surrounding context highlighting this juxtaposition; however, the timber folds to reveal a secondary glass facade that connects the building back to the urban fabric which mostly consists of glazed office buildings. Through the use of organic forms and timber this building will not only encourage sustainable practices but it will also bring communities together in Syracuse.

One of the biggest plights facing Metropolitan Syracuse is the urban flight from the historic downtown as the Gilded and Industrial Age industries have continued to leave. The program of Environmental Vocational School seeks to fill the gap left by jobs taken due to automation and neolibral capitalism, and provide a sustainable and promising future to the under-served urban populations.

The Co-op market will supply the building with much needed funds from the surrounding suburban areas as well as become an option for nutritional and locally grown food in the food desert of downtown. Students are to learn and work alongside residents of the adjacent building. Their knowledge of green and agricultural technologies will be able to travel from the classrooms into the greenhouse where they will be able to experience hands on learning.

Residents will be able to work in the greenhouse to lower their rents (to become affordable housing) and also be provided with educational activities meant to spur community involvement like cooking, canning, and small business management. The building implements both active and passive systems in order to reach sustainable operation. Their is both a cage glass system which acts as a solar chimney for the spaces surrounding the atrium as well as thick glulam ribs which, through their own R-values, provide insulation for the classrooms.

The form of the building in intended to help activate the stack heat effect essentially making the atrium a greenhouse. Air circulates upward with the heat of the space and is eliminated through operable windows.

Storm water is collected and preserved in a subterranean, insulated tank underground where it is used for the inverse season to operate the radiant heating and cooling systems as well as water the aeroponic hanging systems. The aeroponic gardens are suspended by a system of pulleys suspended from the roof truss, which allow for the hangers to be moved seasonally and daily for optimal lighting conditions. The entire building is powered by a geothermal network which is supplied by the graywater from the radiant heating/cooling system.
