What's the new meaning (style) of Hypostyle Hall?
9
STATMENT HYPO STRUCTURE
Why Hypostyle Hall? The original Hypostyle Hall was created for ceremonial space, in which each of the columns reflects human behavior in the space to establish the authority of the priest, divine right of kings, and the respect to the nature and God. In other words, the ordering of these arrayed columns presents the spatial appearance of different functions. The Hypo Structure In his 1970 Highrise of Homes, James Wines argues that structure has been the frame of architecture, and that when the house (program) became the plug in to the building, structure lost its meaning to architecture. In my thesis, I try to provide structure another meaning by plugging in different kinds of Hypostyle Hall (structure) to provide a variety of spatial experiences through structure itself. Another century meaning to the new water and power building The site is the water and power building (John Ferraro building) in downtown LA. In an expansion of the original building from 1965, this project demonstrates the embodiment of water engineering for Los Angeles.For the new century of water and power building, the new meaning elaborated in stacked hypostyle structure will reflect the building’s original intention, showing respect for the water culture and resources in Los Angeles.

HYPOSTYLE HALL "A hypostyle is a room with many rows of columns or pillars that support a flat ceiling or roof. You'll sometimes see such rooms called hypostyle halls. In the ancient world, hypostyles were used in architecture in places like Egypt, Persia, India and other parts of the Near and Middle East." The Oxford Dictionary of Architecture

Karnak Temple - Egypt "The architraves on top of these columns are estimated to weigh 70 tons. These architraves may have been lifted to these heights using levers. This would be an extremely time-consuming process and also would require great balance to get to such great heights. A common alternative theory regarding how they were moved is that large ramps were constructed of sand, mud, brick or stone and that the stones were then towed up the ramps. If stone had been used for the ramps, they would have been able to use much less material. The top of the ramps presumably would have employed either wooden tracks or cobblestones for towing the megaliths."

The Plug-in of the program [Highrise of Homes -James Wine] This housing structure offers apartment dwellers the unique advantages of garden space and personalized architectural identity in a multi-story condominium. The building is a steel and concrete matrix supporting a vertical community of private homes, clustered into village-like communities on each floor. One of the objectives is to offer an alternative to conventional housing design in the cityscape - replacing it with an anti-formalist urban collage of indeterminacy, idiosyncrasy and cultural diversity created by residents themselves.

Down Town Athletic Club - Rem Koolhaas [29]
"a social condenser generating and intensifying desirable forms of human intercourse." (Koolhaas, 1978)
"The Downtown Athletic Club is a skyscraper in New York described by Rem Koolhaas in the book Delirious New York. Its exterior is not quite different from any other skyscraper while its interior stores a health club. Namely it has a golf course on the 7th floor, an swimming pool on the 12th, a garden on the 17th and boxing-, squash-, handbal- and billiardsfascilities on others. Next to that there are restaurants and bedrooms all over the building. Particular is the social compression or congestion as Koolhaas adresses about the Club."

SITE DTLA Water and Power Building The Department of Water and Power Building’s prominent site places the building's modern design on one of the most visible locations in all of Los Angeles. Because of the significant role of water and the Department of Water and Power played in the history of Los Angeles, the building becomes one of the most effective symbols and landmarks of the city. On September 21, 2011, the DWP Building was designated Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument No. 1022. One of Los Angeles' most notable examples of Corporate International architecture, the DWP Building opened in 1965 and has been a LA icon ever since. In November 2000, in honor of longtime council member John Ferraro, the General Office Building (GOB) was renamed the John Ferraro Building (JFB).

The 17-story Department of Water & Power Office Building was constructed on Bunker Hill with the purpose of consolidating 11 building offices scattered across Downtown LA and house its 3,200 employees. Water and Power Commissioners and General Manager close the time capsule - the granite identification marker in front of the new Department of Water and Power office building awaits the tenant it will have for the next 100 years.

Water and power office before W.P.B These office buildings of the Department, roomy and extensive though they be, come nowhere near to occupying an entire city block. In the square in which they stand, there are nineteen structures all together. Only three of these—less than a sixth—are ours. But there was a time in the history of the Department when its quarters did occupy a whole city block. And, strangely enough, this was in its formative days. 90
