STORM WATER POLLUTION CONTROL REQUIREMENTS FOR CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES AND MINIMUM WATER QUALITY PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL DEVELOPMENT

A.) B.)

CONSTRUCTION PROJECT/CERTIFICATES: ● ERODED SEDIMENTS AND OTERH POLLUTANTS MUST BE RETAINED ON SITE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSPORTED FROM THE SITE VIA SHEETFLOW, SWALES, AREA DRAINS, NATURAL DRAINAGE COURSE OR WIND. ● STOCKPILES OF EARTH AND OTHER CONSTRUCTION RELATED MATERIALS MUST BE PROTECTED FROM BEING TRANSPORTED FROM SITE BY THE FORCES OF WIND OR WATER ● FUELS, OILS, SOLVENTS AND OTHER TOXIC MATERIALS MUST BE STORED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR LISTING AND ARE NOT TO CONTAMINATE THE SOIL AND SURFACE WATER. ALL APPROVED STORAGE CONTAINERS ARE TO BE PROTECTED FROM THE WEATHER. SPILLS MUST BE CLEANED UP IMMEDIATELY AND DISPOSED OF IN A PROPER MANNER. SPILLS MAY NOT BE WASHED INTO THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM ● NON-STORM WATER RUNOFF FROM EQUIPMENT AND VEHICLE WASHING AND ANY OTHER ACTIVITY SHALL BE CONTAINED AT THE PROJECT SITE ● EXCESS OR WASTE CONCRETE MAY NOT BE WASHED INTO THE PUBLIC WAY OR ANY OTHER DRAINAGE SYSTEM. PROVISIONS SHALL BE MADE TO RETAIN CONCRETE WASTES ON SITE UNTIL THEY CAN BE DISPOSED OF AS A SOLID WASTE ● TRASH AND CONSTRUCTION RELATED SOLID WASTED MUST BE DEPOSITED INTO A COVERED RECEPTACLE TO PREVENT CONTAMINATION OF RAINWATER AND DISPERSAL BY WIND ● SEDIMENTS AND OTHER MATERIALS MAY NOT BE TRACKED FROM SITE BY VEHICLE TRAFFIC. THE CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCE ROADWAYS MUST BE SWEPT UP IMMEDIATELY AND MAY NOT BE WASHED DOWN BY RAIN OR OTHER MEANS. ● ANY SLOPES WITH DISTURBED SOILS OR DENUDED OF VEGETATION MUST BE STABILIZED SO AS TO INHIBIT EROSION BY WIND OR WATER.

Los Angeles Center for Density - Professor R. Kerr

Design Documentation

Studio 4A LAPA (Los Angeles Center for Density) Eagle Rock, CA

Aaron Castaneda

The site currently has a dense amount of older and larger trees. In order to preserve the trees, adding more vegetation gives the community a park to enjoy. As a form of protection a courtyard typology took shape for the building. Taking advantage of the four-corner access of the site, the building was elevated from each of those corners. Having the ground floor elevated at those corners gave a direct view into the park; which welcomes the community and visitors into the park. The material is primarily concrete in the East, South and West part of the building, but switches to glass in the north, to give the building a less heavier feel where the main access to the building is.

Ground Floor

Los Angeles Center for Density’s purpose is meant

to facilitate the integration from a different town or state in to Los Angeles. It also serves to bring awareness to the population growth of Los Angeles. The museum, and gallery spaces are meant to show the many phases in which Los Angeles has grown into, and will continue to grow as. Classroom spaces are provided to educate the public of housing programs that are available to them. A cafe will serve the community, and the offices are a means by which non-locals access information about the city. Four temporary dwellings are provided to incoming neighbors wishing to be a part of L.A. Ground Floor

be used as a bazaar giving the community more control of the area, framing it to be more community oriented. --
