Stack It Up

Stack It Up is an architectural innovative construction system using Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) self-supporting beams one story high. Once assembled and attached to the structural ultrahigh performant concrete cores, the box type construction allows a great modularity of the project with both transparency and opacity effects. This project proposes 270 crossing apartments supported by vertical cylinders anchored to the ground, a complete aerial market, as well as a museum to honor the artist Andy Warhol.

Évolution de la structure

Plans

The stacking up of the project structure shapes both interior and vegetated courtyards which are logically disposed with adequate proportions. The courtyards are visible from the market underneath via their structure which defines the flexible and the permanent stalls, as well as the eating areas. In addition to the building rigidity and the elevated market structure, the core contain vertical circulation. By exploiting the full and the empty box type effects, the 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom and 3 bedroom apartments are built over two stories high. Whereas the first floor with plenty of windows allows day rooms, the second floor is more conservative, and thus ideal for night rooms. A box type construction module inserted into the ground marks the entrance to the Andy Warhol Museum, as well as the connection to the Lowline and the subway line. Different shapes and sizes are created by the exploded structure with a central atrium of seven stories high where the museum path is located.

Programme et cycles

The roof of the project is divided in three different zones. Approximately one-third of the surface is reserved for green roofs. Another one-third is reserved for solar collectors and photovoltaic solar horizontal tubular panels. The last third of the surface is occupied by urban agriculture gardens which create a sense of community-level sharing and encourages collaboration of the occupants. Moreover, a circular mechanical system uses the biomethanisation process to produce energy. While recuperating the solid wastes of the lodgings, the market and the restaurants in the neighbourhood, it is possible to reduce by 70% the energy requirement of the project.
