demi-glace - artist in residence ali mcbride | gabriel kaprielian | arch 242 | winter 2016
1 Artist in Residence From music to modern art to food, San Francisco is known as one of the greatest hubs for the arts. Demi-Glace takes a look into the life of culinar y artists, providing them a place where they can live, study, and create their art all under one roof. The building will serve as an artist in residence, giving new chefs the opportunity to develop their skills and learn how to run a real business that they can later give back to San Francisco.
Site Analysis The site is located on the corner of Valencia Street and 18th Street in the Mission District of San Francisco, CA. The Mission District is known for its thriving arts community and diverse population, making it a perfect place for an artist in residence. In my site analysis, I took queus from the surrounding site, drawing lines from windows, building lines, and sun angles to create preliminary 2D and 3D spatial studies

2 Suburban Strip Mall The constant challenge in living in today ’s society involves balancing quality of life with convenience of car, a comfortable, private home, and quick access to city culture. This project is an exploration into the idea of suburban-urban living: combining the perks of suburban living while reducing the negatives: vast land-use, isolation, lack of community, and dependence on cars for transportation. Reno serves as the backdrop for this study, as one of the largest suburban dominated cities in the United States with a great potential for so much more.
Site Analysis

The site is located just outside of Downtown Reno at the intersection of I-80 and Stardust Street, currently occupied by an abandoned bowling alley. Just to the northwest of the lot is one of the larger suburban communities, making the site a perfect junction between Downtown Reno and residential living. Distribution of Income: Nevada 4%

canyon - the boiler room ali mcbride | umut toker | arch 351 | fall 2016
1 The Boiler Room The Boiler Room is a music project which began less than a decade ago in London when two friends decided to put on a DJ set from an unused boiler room and stream it on the internet. Today, the Boiler Room hosts hundreds of similar shows worldwide and continues to grow in popularity. This design project aims to bring the Boiler Room to the heart of San Francisco and provide a headquarters for the organization where artists and the public can perform, learn, and interact with each other.

The site is located on the corner of Franklin St. and Fell St. in downtown San Francisco, California, just a few blocks from City Hall. The majority of the buildings in this area are commercial and mixed use, including many other music venues and theaters. The site itself is currently occupied by a rundown apartment building, scheduled for destruction within the next few years.
