The Center at Blessed Sacrament is a place dedicated to serving those underserved in the City of Los Angeles, in other words, homeless people. They help these individuals socially, through programs that help them develop into active citizens of the community. Thus making them feel more as a person rather than feel rejected by society.

Project Statement The goals that have encouraged for this project design are the daily gatherings and activities done within the site already. Do to the visitors that inhabitant the site, material and types of seating were taken into consideration for this project. As well as, the various necessities lacking within the site, such as ADA Ramps, a formal entry, gathering spaces, seating, shading, storage and landscaping. As a class, it was our goal to activate the space and have the inhibitors take ownership of the center, making them watchdogs of their site.

Firestone Light Rail Station is part of the TOD project for the new Orangeline that will soon connect Los Angeles to Santa Monica. The fundamentals for this studio was too cross learn the practices of our interdisciplinary team members, all for the purpose of creating a Rail Station. The first few weeks of interacting and working with Urban Planners and Engineers was challenging do to the various terms used in each discipline being so different from each other. Overall, the class was a success and very beneficial in communicating with different disciplines in learning from one another and how we completed a project together.
[Rooftop Community Sapce]
Project Statement The purpose behind this project is to create Public Transportation to transit poor communities that have very high activity of its use. These communities not only struggle with transportation but a lack of bike lanes, park accessibility, health problems, affordable housing and a great need for an economic boost. The design for the station and surrounding area was created to accommodate these conflicts and implement solutions into the site.

Green Machine is a programming project coordinated along with the office of Mia Lehrer + Associates. The emphasis of the project is to utilize LAUSD as a catalyst for green space. What if we could utilize 2,500 square feet on every LAUSD campus, using this square footage and applying sustainable principles, imagine the possibilities. Children that attend these campuses suffer from limited recreational activity and a lack of access to parks. For this reason, applying this program to LAUSD campuses not only will impact the students lifestyle and bring awareness but impact the overall system of the Los Angeles River. Project Statement As a team we aimed to create social awareness and environmental education. LAUSD is the biggest landowner in Los Angeles, creating change in the many institutions not only will be a benefiting factor for the students but communities as well. LASUD can be the catalyst for change, it is time Los Angeles residents to act now!

Towers At Second The new owner of Towers @ 2nd wanted to revitalize an aged property with two high-rise towers totaling approximately 500,000 square feet of office space to attract and retain tenants. The goal was to provide targeted improvements and amenities that will support technology-based organizations and their lifestyle and workplace culture. To create a visual connection between the downtown urban streetscape and the newly modernized lobby, designers used glazed canopies. The two towers are divided by an existing pathway and located by a sunken outdoor courtyard designed for hosting gatherings and events. There is also a plugin restaurant and an exclusive lower level, known as “The Underground” for tenants to explore alternative work environments and create connections. Interior improvements and amenities support the workspace expectations of the collaboration generation and include a fitness center, bike storage, nourishment center, gamer’s room, VIP lounge, informal social spaces and alternative transit station accessibility

Built as an amenity for the residential community, the Pavilion offers a large space for basketball, volleyball and other activities with built-in seating for spectators. During the day, it will serve the adjacent K-8 School, and in the morning, evenings and weekends it will used by the community. The six acre park features soccer, softball and tot-lot play area. A picnic area and passive open space provide shaded gathering areas for the adjacent neighborhood.

Part 2: Revit Workflow Architecture / Engineering Link CAD Files Into Revit 1.
Before any CAD file is linked into Revit, the file must be optimized as described above.
2.
Ask Civil Engineers where the Control Point for the project is, to fascilitate alligning the CAD file in Revit.
3.
Link the CAD file by clicking on the Link CAD button within the Insert Tab in the Revit ribbon.
4. 5.
Part 1: CAD Workflow Civil / Landscape Optimize CAD Files 1.
All geometry in the CAD file must be within the perimeter of the project and must not have extents larger than 10 miles in any direction (Including elevation).
2.
All geometry should be drawn within the project boundaries.
3.
All geometry, except Topography should be flat.
4.
Remove Hatch Patterns. Intricate patterns in CAD may be unable to be interpreted correctly by Revit.
5.
The following commands can help further clean up the CAD file: OVERKILL: Deletes overlapping objects. NUKE: Will purge unnecessary information from the CAD file. AUDIT: Fixes inconsistencies in the database
6.
Delete Named UCS "REVIT60-DefaultLocation" if it exists.
Navigate to "\DESIGN\_AutoCAD\Civil\Base" within the project folder and select CE-TOPO.dwg Choose the appropriate Link Settings. Current view only: Uncheck this option. We use worksets to handle the visibility of the CAD file. Colors: Choose whether you want to keep colors or convert to Black and White. (Black and White Recommended) Layers/Levels: Choose which layers you want to bring in from CAD. Import Units: Change this option to Feet. Never correct lines that are slightly off axis. Site plans tend to have property lines at angles that should not be modified. Positioning: Choose "Auto - Center to Center" Place at: Choose 0 - Site Level. Orient to View: Uncheck this option
6.
Zoom Extents to make sure the CAD file doesn't have extents outside of the project.
7.
Move the CAD file to match a previously identified Control Point within the CAD file. This could be a grid intersection, Survey Point or an existing building corner.
8.
Rotate the CAD file to match Project North.
9.
Acquire coordinates from the CAD file to inform Revit real-world coordinates. Go to the Manage tab in the Ribbon. Click on the Coordinates button. Click on Acquire Coordinates. Select the CAD link (CE-TOPO.dwg) If successful, the Revit Survey Point will jump to match the CAD file's origin.
10. Publish coordinates to the Revit Links.
Part 3: Export CAD Files From Revit Floorplans From Revit 1.
From the Revit menu, click on Export then hover over CAD Formats, then click on DWG.
2.
A dialog box appears. This dialog box handles the translation of "Revit Categories" into "CAD Layers" LPA has created a translation file that complies with the requirements of our Civil and Landscape CAD layer requirements.
3.
From the "Load layers from standards:" dropdown make sure that the "LPA-Export-Lineweights-default.txt" is selected.
4.
From within the "Modify DWG/DXF Export Setup" window, click on the Units & Coordinates Tab. Make sure the "Shared" is selected from the "Coordinate system basis". This step is very important since it includes coordinate information in the exported CAD file.
5.
From the General tab choose the following settings: Uncheck the option to export rooms, spaces and areas as polylines. Check the options that makes layer starting with NPLT non-plottable layers. Choose to hide Scope Boxes, Reference planes, and unreferenced view tags. Do not preserve coincident lines for a cleaner CAD file. Do not check the option to export views on sheets and links as external references. Make sure to choose AutoCAD 2013 format for backward compatibility.

CAD to Revit to CAD is a procedure started by landscape architects, architects, engineers and ID specialist to optimize workflow and minimize coordination issues. CAD files cause many issues in Revit forcing BIM disciplines to disconnect themselves from CAD. At the same time, BIM users export CAD files disregarding the layer organization and the geolocation of the exported files. This causes CAD users costly hours to fix files multiple times as they recieve new exports. The workflow described presents a solution inorder to keep CAD and BIM disciplines tightly intergrated.
