AN ALTERNATIVE GUIDEBOOK TO LOS ANGELES RIVER

the GUIDEBOOK L.A. RIVER THE ALTERNATIVE LODGE The Los Angeles River is a uniquely isolated area nestled among the industrial development of the city. This reinforces the notion of the Los Angeles River as a void separating the eastern communities of Los Angeles from the rest of the city. Within a sea of concrete and infrastructure lies a world that most visitors, and even locals, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know exists. The Oneis Lodge, Two Worlds, Infinite Experiences projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal to generate a new program that becomes a catalyst to those hidden gems by combining a guidebook experience with the existing city. The river, and the area around it, have the potential to become a social and cultural artery connecting the communities along the river. The proposed project will integrate differing venues of recreation, showcasing local artistic creativity, providing a cultural event center, and become the catalyst for comAlfonzo Ortega munity development. This under utilized part of Los Fall find 2014 Angeles will be a place for people to gather and a new connection to those around them. Ultimately, ARC 401 the Los Angeles River will become a social culIrmaand Ramirez tural hub for visitors and locals alike.

The project required site selection, various factors were considered in the selection: proximity to landmarks as is Str eet the 6th Street bridge which itself has a popularity among Hollywood Cinema and advertising agencies. Close proximity to public transportation, both Light Rail and Metro Buses. Additionally a Pedestrian traffic study was generated which track individuals in the surrounding areas and simulated pedestrian movement. The study mapped directionality and density of pedestrians, several studies were conducted with various site locations rendered. The selected site is situated just south of the 4th Street bridge which allows for pedestrian access to Metro Light Rail, located within 5 minutes of walking distance. 6th Street bridge is located south of site with enough distance for mutual appreciations and enough distance as to prevent our project from completely overshadowing the bridge thus allowing for the bridge to remain its own hierarchy.

MAPPING & CONNECTING

On the East Side an abandon parcel was acquired to create East Side Plaza that created an open space that allow for outdoor activities, physical, artistic and educational. On the West Side a connection to the up and coming Artâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s District which includes an Urban lifestyle surrounded by art, fine dinning and other perks. The pedestrian bridge consists of circulation paths that created various connections between both sides of the Los Angeles River. The overlay of the these Circulation Paths help defined our lodges massing. The Circulation paths have various destinations, both horizontally and vertically. The loft is divided into two levels that have unique experiences, the Lower Lodge is the adventurous side since its closer to the river and at time of rain the water comes within 2 ft. of the floor. Furthermore the views are oriented into the river which at night has an underground life and access into that life is available. The top lodge is oriented into the surface with framed views of downtown and San Gabriel Mountains. A public Viewing Park was created on the roof that allows one to have a 360 degree of the site, juxtaposing the context.

URBAN POLLINATION: NET ZERO ENERGY DESIGN PROBLEM

As our population grows, so does our energy consumption and carbon footprint, it is crucial that we consider our energy impact on every project. The competition, called for students to design a net zero energy, mixed use, multifamily building for a site in the heart of Portlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eastside. Given the site's demographics and rich local culture there was a challenge and opportunity to generate amazing architecture that helps illustrate the connection between high performance building and high design and provide evidence that performance and design are inherently complementary. There were three main criteria for the project: social, economic and energy consumption.

SOCIAL & ECONOMIC : URBAN POLLINATION

The project engages and compliments existing social events that locals engage in with great emphasis on pedestrian friendly spaces cater by local shops and framed by the cities colorful landscape that includes the integration of beautiful roses reminiscence the city of Portland. Architectural moves as the inset of the building mass and the enclosure of sidewalks with large amounts of landscape as the Urban reclaimed space help generate a vibrant flexible social space rich on possibilities. Ultimately the project is intended to become Portland's Eastside HUB cater by four groups of local shops dominant in the local area: Health, Cuisine, Arts and Entertainment. An Urban pollinator that lures people, helps reproduce community ties and KEEP PORTLAND WEIRD.

Exploration into space creation and pedestrian transition led to the creation of interior courtyard with narrow entrances that open up into a large space.

Urban reclaimed space, rather than bring building footprint to the site edges, the building mass was pushed back in order to generate social spaces that address and emphazise on pedestrians and generate opputunities for social interaction.

The project is a five story building, the entry level consist of retail component while levels two through five consist of the housing component. The four levels of housing are broken down into two repetitive elements that house single and double floor units, reducing the corridors by half. Three repetitive unit types were created to accommodate the different users. There is a single unit with open floor plan, a two bedroom unit with public spaces on bottom plan and private bedrooms and balcony on second floor and a one bedroom unit. All three units have high efficiency energy appliances that reduce energy consumption. All units have high performing windows facing either north or east as to avoid solar heat gains during the summer and have maximize environment light as to reduce energy consumption.

The modular component brings the cost of construction down, the units are also coordinated with the structure grid and leave flexible spacing for mechanical elements to be integrated. Entrance into the units comes from double height social corridor adjacent to the south and east facing green house.

The intent was to enlarge the cavity to allow the space to become a social space that allow user interaction while acting as high performance facade and green house. The corridor is juxtaposed to the green house in order to create a visual cue to the unitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entrance and the green house.

Housing units were highly insulated to avoid heat losses, given the projects location the greatest energy consumption is heating.

Heating panels were located within the green house as to absorb most of the radiant heat gains. High performance perforated curtain was install to block summer heat gains.

Heat capture by heating panels circulates trough the floors slabs that uniformly radiate heat into the unit.

Direct heating can be provided via an air duct that brings fresh warm oxygen filter within the green house into the unit while a small opening located on near the floor removes toxic co2, utilized by the plants.
