Mobile Suburbia by Aaron Berman
Columbia GSAPP student Aaron Berman imagines a new way of creating recreational spaces. Suspended backyard platforms attached to apartment windows produce a suburban sense of expanded space in the dense urban environment.Backyard platforms can be ordered, customized and delivered to city residents and installed on masonry facades.
This project is part of Experiments in Motion - a partnership between Columbia Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation and Audi of America.
If you’re in NYC, check out The Senior Moment tomorrow
5:45 - 9pm
Wed 13 June 2012
Studio-X
180 Varick Street, Suite 1610
New York, NY
Please join the Columbia Lab for Architectural Broadcasting (C-LAB) at Studio-X from 5:45 - 9pm on Wednesday 13 June for an evening event on aging and New York City. Continuing the work begun in issue 27 of Volume magazine, ‘Aging Fight or Accept’ and more recently, with the C-Lab-certified issue 29, ‘The Urban Conspiracy’, this symposium engages experts from multiple disciplines who are actively shaping the future of aging in cities. From housing and environmental design to emerging technologies and social networks that foster aging-in-place, The Senior Moment will both survey and challenge received notions about the aging population and the aging built fabric of New York. The presentations and discussion will be followed by a reception. The event is free and open to the public.
Participants include:
Linda Fried, Dean, Columbia Mailman School of Public Health
Elyzabeth Gaumer, Director of Housing Policy Research and Evaluation, NYCHPD
Aubrey de Grey, Founder and Chief Science Officer, SENS Foundation
Jeffrey Inaba, Director, C-Lab
Stephen Johnston, Founder, Aging 2.0
Thomas Kamber, Executive Director, OATS
Jesse Mintz-Roth, Senior Project Manager, NYCDOT
Caryn Resnick, Deputy Commissioner, External Affairs, NYCDFTA
Richard Rosen, Principal, Perkins Eastman, Co-Chair, AIA Design for Aging Committee
Jeffrey Rosenfeld, Gerontologist and Professor of Design, Parsons The New School for Design
Georgeen Theodore, Principal, Interboro Partners
The Ultimate Subway Platform.
Benjamin Berichta looks at unused space in the NYC subway at Delancey St. and asks “How do you wait?”
His way to wait for a train is on the deck of his yacht in the underground yacht club he proposes for the Delancey Street subway stop. I guess the rest of us will take the ferry.

New images of what the Delancey Underground could be from graduate students at Columbia University who just had a mid term in Rio.
Proposals for the Delancey Underground (clockwise from top left). Kelsey Lents’ project, “Gang(Green),” is an underground park that will infect the city over time until the entire island become a forest again. Sissi Yang’s proposal, “Escape,” is an underground playground that connects to all the surrounding residential buildings allowing locals to share amenities. “Tourist Trap,” by Prathyusha Viddam, investigates the friction between tourists and locals in New York and what happens when roles are reversed. “Third Rail Fitness,” by Darryl Zuk, is a gym adjacent to the subway allowing hardbodies to demonstrate their physique to commuters.

Architecture is usually thought of as static and permanent.The City of Mobil Services taught by Geoff Manaugh and Nicola Twiley, inverts the question of the future of mobility in cities by looking at everything that is currently stationary and considering how the city itself can become more mobile.

[photo by Ivy Chan of a class trip to worksman Cycles]They are working closely with food truck fabricators and bikes builders to understand the technical and practical implications of moving architecture.[A pedi-sukkah, built atop a Worksman Cycle.]Given the difficulty of finding space in New York City, their studio will design new strategies for thinking about space and mobility that will open up new opportunities and potential for industry, commerce and culture.

Mark Wigley on how rethinking motion will inspire new connections between mobility and architecture.

Mobile architecture from the cityofmobileservices blog:

Geoff Manaugh and Nicola Twilley
This studio looks to invert the question of urban mobility, asking not how individuals can most efficiently navigate the static map of the built metropolis, but how the city’s various systems and services, from policing to entertainment, can instead come to them. Through a series of case studies, site visits, and design challenges, The City of Mobile Services will explore the city of mobile services, from the familiar—ice cream trucks, food carts, bike messengers, and tow trucks—to the often radically unexpected, such as California’s RV pot dispensaries or mobile lethal-injection facilities in China.
[“Instant City,” Ron Herron/Archigram, 1969]
The ultimate goal is to add to the already rich landscape of urban mobile services through student proposals. What has yet to be mobilized, what would it look like if it was, and how might this de-anchoring reformulate the city?
