The hotel serves as a southern entrance for San Luis Obispo, indicating to motorists traveling from southern to northern California that they are entering the central coast. The main tower of the hotel mega-structure rises on the south side of the Madonna road, and a bridge complex extends out of the tower and spans over the road to the north side of the road. The bridge complex serves as an elevated public walkway, offering green-spaces, small shops, and small food amenities. The hotel provides vast, elevated views of San Luis Obispo with rooms facing Madonna Mountain. The facade folds, warps, and breaks as it wraps around the tower and fans out around the bridge.

TOWER
F OURT H YE AR | DIS : ST UDY AB ROA D I N SC A N DI NAV I A | FA LL 2 0 1 9 COPE NH AG E N, DE NM ARK | CO OK I NG C OM M U N I T Y The site of Litauens Plads is located in the center of Vesterbro, surrounded by housing, a school, and a church with a tower, which is the most significant landmark of the area. During most times of the year, the park is lively, specifically during the summer time. However, the area is zoned intp specific sections: (1) children’s play area for the school, (2) outdoor court, and (3) a green park. The strict division causes most of the public to only participate in social interaction in the green park while the children stay on their half of the area. How can architecture to be used to increase social activity of a space? How can a culinary school be integrated into a social framework that is set up by architecture? The project seeks to increase social activity by creating opportunities for situations rather than functions. By allowing spaces to be flexible, multiple opportunities for various kinds of social interaction can occur compared to designating zones for certain functions. The tower becomes the main hub for social interaction, containing an indoor urban garden, a stairway to the rooftop terrace, and a rock-climbing wall on the north facade.

F OURT H YE AR | DIS : ST UDY AB ROA D I N SC A N DI NAV I A | FA LL 2 0 1 9 COPE NH AG E N, DE NM ARK | OB J E C T G A LLE RY The design of the facade of the object gallery is made to feel like a KITBASH [more simply described as a three-dimensional collage], as if one found random parts around the city to create an object that somehow feels cohesive. The object gallery itself becomes an object for the park, and the KITBASH style of the facade helps to create intrigue and curiosity for the people circulation by the area. It is meant to be fun and whimiscal, a place to remember. Coversely, the interior of the gallery is much more simple in order to frame the exhibition. Just like how the object gallery is an object for the park, the objects in the gallery take center-stage inside the object gallery rather than the architecture of the structure. The layout of the park is linear and grided in order to contrast the angular nature of the gallery. The park proves a variety of microclimates, such as open grass area to play or rest on, shaded and open seating, assembly spaces, intimate spaces, and loud and quiet spaces. At night, the facade of the S-Tog bridge becomes a surface for which digital media con be projected on, such as digital exhibitions and movie nights. In summary, KITBASH seeks to embrace the grungy, industrial atmosphere of the site by creating a memorable experience through the whimsical architecture and create a social relationship between art gallery and public park.

Using a mass-base system, the main public mass of the museum is contained within a tower that rests upon a podium. The people circulate up the tower through the gallery spaces. Within this circulation pattern, a celebrated staircase and observation deck provide views to the surrounding environment, including the nearby creek, Mission Plaza, and Mission San Luis Obispo itself. The proposal for the SLOMA utilizes a horizontal language as its primary envelope system. This horizontal language creates a dynamic environment that reinforces the constant circulation throughout a museum. A plaza is raised from the street level while the main lobby is sunken below. These elevation changes create unique micro-environments, ones that blur the distinction between exterior and interior spaces. And through this, the site becomes an energized space that links the museum with the civic core.

The project was conceived to be a free-circulating space that provides choices of conditions for people to inhabit: shaded vs. sun spaces, open vs. enclosed spaces, energetic vs. calm spaces, passive vs. active spaces. The project contains two main programmatic spaces: the above-ground condition of the urban plaza and the below-ground condition of the recreational center. The division between these two programmatic spaces is a thickened surface that acts as a ground plane for the urban plaza and as a roof and ceiling for the rec center. Subtle uplifts within the ground plane become entrances that connect the above and below spaces. Stripular design elements circumnavigate the site, becoming amphitheaters along the underground entrances and shading devices on the south, east, and west facades.

The proposal itself does not need to do the “ECOTHERAPY” because the ECOTHERAPY is taken care by experiencing and traveling through the Carrizo Plain. If the proposal itself starts to take on more of the therapeutic role, then the site starts to diminish in purpose. The ECOTHERAPY RETREAT proposal is a place where one starts and ends his or her day, like a lodge. At the very least, though, the ECOTHERAPY RETREAT should provide experiential qualities that take advantage of the Carrizo plain and soften the transition between the built environments to the natural environment. In my proposal, these predictions are implemented through mainly repetition, rhythm, and linearity, hybridizing both pure and impure forms. The timber spires take on the major hierarchical role, emphasized by its height and linearity. The spires, in tandem with wood paneling design, create a vertical dynamic composition that lends itself to an uplifting, spiritual experience. In addition, the wood paneling starts to dissolve from top to bottom, softening the embedment of the built structure into the natural terrain. These are the main elements that help the users’ transition from the built environment into the natural world of Carrizo.
