The Fracking
The erosion of ice and its fractured behavior inspired The Fracking, aiming a net zero energy building by using bioclimatic conditions on site to optimize its performance and durability. It also aims to minimize its CO2 impact by using wood.
The basic donut shape of the project offers a courtyard protected from the wind and the noise. To minimize the project’s shading on its neighbors and on its own courtyard, the daylight and solar envelopes of the site have eroded the form, maximizing the natural light and the heat entering the project. Subsequently, the fractures help the permeability of the project, creating links with the neighbourhood and the heart of the project; the courtyard.

Plan masse
The Andy Warhol Museum consists of various ambiances to help visitors get immersed by the artist’s story. Divided in two parts, the entry is located on Delancey street, creating a signal element. The second part is dedicated to the exhibitions, located in front of the residential tower on Broome street to receive diffused light. The exhibition areas are raised from the ground where a water basin takes place. The visitors are then invited to cross a soothing footbridge from the basement of the entry to the first floor of the exhibitions. The two parts are connected from the inside by an underground passage, where projections tells different stories about Andy Warhol. The concept proposes a mechanical system integrated to the CLT structure. Some solar roofs allow the preheating of the air during cold seasons with the help of solar hot water tubes. In hot seasons, the air conditioning is generated by heat pumps located in the basement.
The market has a mobile transparent envelope allowing a permeability all year long. Opened three seasons on four, the air conditioning demand is considerably reduced. In winter, the temperature is maintained low and punctuated where the kiosks are, reducing the heating demand.

Ambiances
The residential area occupies the floors above the market, sunniest places of the site. It maximizes natural light and heat gain. Each living unit is cross-ventilated. A permeable filter surrounds the housing. On the street side, individual gangways allow the housing entries, where on the other sides, in the courtyard, balconies take place. This filter allows to control heat gain in the building. The fractures propose greenhouses, encouraging local production. For the heating and cooling demand, solar hot water tubes are installed on the roofs and connected to heat pump in the basement along with the urban vapor network of New York. Photovoltaic panels are installed on these roofs and create energy.
Finally, the courtyard is intended to be a cool oasis with water plans, green spaces, dining and sunbathing areas while enjoying the fresh air. A livable ridge rhythm the landscape by offering benches, lounge chairs and views on the underground exhibitions. The courtyard is the reflect of the project as a whole. Located in a multicultural and vibrant neighbourhood, the project is like a lung, allowing more families to rediscover and enjoy their neighborhood.
