Design concept for a major Silicon Valley tech company proposing a detached sleek and modern dining hall. The design emphasizes flexibility within the workplace, able to accommodate up to 200 people at a time or 1000 throughout the day and in different group sizes. The bu ilding is one of 5 dining areas on campus but will serve as the central and largest point between them all. The form is derived from the existing site, oriented towards the open central green that can be reconfigured for large company gatherings and events. The large expanse of glass on on the southern side opens to the lawn, for an immersive indoor/outdoor dining experience.

2020
The Urban Confluence Silicon Valley competition is a design charette with the goal to “create a new iconic landmark that will represent the intersection of modern technology, history, art, architecture, engineering, and place-making. This world-class destination will be visited by numerous tourists and cherished by the local community as a symbol of San Jose’s and Silicon Valley’s place in the world.” Our proposal, SPIRALS, choreographs a journey from the Guadalupe River Park below to the SAP concourse above. The journey culminates in a second spiral, looping upward to the sky and returning to the bridge at Confluence Point. Existing site assets are revitalized for rediscovery. It is here in Silicon Valley where we merge seemingly different entities and experiences, and intertwine them to create new technologies of tomorrow. The spiral is a loop that starts at one point and end at the next point, symbolizing our spirit of exploration and never doing the same thing twice.

SOUTH
As the majority of the building is relative ly short and deep, natural light cannot penetrate into the center of the building. Clerestories serve the dual purpose of providing natural light and encouraging the flow of air through the space. This means that less artificial lighting and air conditioning is needed within and therefore less energy is consumed overall.
NORTH
PASSIVE COOLING - WIND FUNNEL Air is cooler and wind speed is faster above the surrounding urbanscape. Wind enters the int ake and is funneled through the vertical fins on t he south facade. A mechanical turbine assists in drawing the air down to the plaza below. Water from the reflecting pool further cools the air.

8
Th e system draws inspiration from the water flow of the river and acts both as a natural air conditioner and a humidifier during the arid summer days, reducing the urban heat island effect. The fins are operable and can close when necessary.

The ideal prosthetic exhibits a symbiotic relationship between function and emotion. The highway is a flawed prosthetic of the city, successful in its function but unsuccessful in providing a positive emotional and cultural experience. However, the role of the highway and the drivers using it are changing. Autonomous vehicles are rapidly improving and movements towards public transportation mean that potentially by 2050, the highway and people’s minds could be clear for emotional improvement. Life in Los Angeles, as the center of Autopia, will be drastically changed. To answer those changes, PROSTHESIS turns the highway into a museum of life, still providing an efficient transportation infrastructure while inviting passengers to observe and experience all aspects of life of Los Angeles, from its past history as a beach town to a modern metropolis.

The modern highway is an inefficient prosthetic of the city, moving people from one place to another but lacking in providing a positive emotional experience.
AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES MANUAL VEHICLES
Autonomous vehicles are the future of highway transportation, projected to be the majority vehicle by 2050. Given their steady impro vement and rise alon gside public transportation movements, highways could be cleared and open greater opportunities for prosthetic im provement.
2050
PR O G R AM
The design focuses on the concept of exhibition and views, inspired by Los Angeles’ historic obsession with beaches and boardwalks. The highway explodes into multiple paths, each exemplifying a different activity through its appropriate speed and views. Take the slower route and you get to watch clips of the latest Hollywood video shots. Take the fast route and zoom by a rollercoaster just as the pictures are taken and projected up onto the wall behind for everyone to see. Ideally, riders feel inspired enough to put down whatever is occupying them and interact with the surrounding environment. The highway thus becomes a prosthetic for society, efficiently moving people from one place to another while also encouraging cultural and social growth.

With connections to S. M. Novella train station, the new high speed rail station, and the airport, Viale Belfiore is a natural gateway to the city of Florence, Italy. These new methods of travel open up the opportunity for the city to grow and modernize, perhaps rivaling other Italian metropolises like Milan or Rome. GATEWAY is a project responding to these changes and looks towards a profitable, healthy future for all citizens and tourists alike. The design focuses on meaningful connections and interactions among all citizens, from the daily tourist to the 10th generation shopowner, and supporting the overall modernization of Florence while maintaining the historical traditions that it is known for.

The Boiler Room is an international music movement started in 2010 when one DJ taped a webcam to a wall in his closet and livestreamed a DJ set to all of London. Today, the movement supports upcoming artists and DJs by allowing them access to internet streams from their homes. CANYON is all about breaking out of the conventional box that makes up most of the San Francisco city grid. By beginning to cut away and stretch forms, it opens up new opportunities for circulation through and around the site, connecting the street to the courtyard behind and allowing visitors to explore and experience the art of the Boiler Room in an entirely new way. The central atrium not only serves as a central gathering space but is also the main link of this connection. On the outside, it may look like any other building in the city, but on the inside, its a playground for visitors and musicians alike.

The Guadalupe River Park Conservancy provides community leadershp for development and active use of the Guadalupe River Park & Gardens, located in Downtown Sa n Jose, CA, through educational programs, volunteer opportunities, and general management. As a thank you to the hard work that the GRPC has done, Gensler San Jose has vol unteered to help lead the effort in refreshing the interior and exterior experience of the main building to better accommodate visitors and the daily educational programs hosted there. The design team is focusing on 3 primary areas for improvement: landscape, exterior, and interior. These three areas are tied together through the idea of a journey down the river with various nodes along the way where visitors can stop and rest, learn, and ultimately enjoy the park.

MI S CE LLAN EOU S A RT, DESIG N, & P H OTOGRAPHY SY M BIOS I S symbiosis (n) interaction between two dif ferent organisms living in close physical association, typically to the ad vantage of both. The ultimate difference between a prosthetic and a tool is the prosthetic’s inability to be useful when not related to the body. Therefore, a prosthetic is ultra-cooperation between the body and technology. So how can we make any ob ject a prosthetic? SYMBIOSIS uses and requires human strength and balance to create a functional prosthetic using the familiar guise of a chair. Who is the prosthetic: the human or the object?
