MOCA EXHIBITION SHED WOODBURY UNIVERSITY ARCHITECTURE 281 PROFESSOR: MAXI SPINA ARVIN SHIRINYANS FALL 2011
EXHIBITION SHED MOCA MUSEUM
the project started with the analysis of a designer dress from sandra backlund’s blank page collection.since the goal of the project was creating an exhibition space in front of the moca museum located in los angeles, the pattern from dress analysis was used ,in order to create a system that encloses the exhibition spaces and defines the volume.then, the 2d origami pattern extracted from the dress is used and transformed into 3d forms , in order to develope a skin/ structure which results in generating volume ans spaces within the enclosure.

BOUTIQUE HOTEL WOODBURY UNIVERSITY ARCHITECTURE 281 PROFESSOR: MAXI SPINA ARVIN SHIRINYANS FALL 2011
CASE STUDY HEMEROSCOPIUM The Hemeroscopium House of the ensamble studio is located in Las Rozas, Madrid, Spain. Hemeroscopium is where the sun sets for the Greek. The main structure of the house consists of 7 enormous concrete prefabricated pieces which are assembled together and the pieces get lighter as the structure grows, and a twenty ton granite stone (Which is referred to as the“G Point�) brings the entire system to an equilibrium. The calculations for the structure of the house took the ensamble studio a year but only 7 days to build the structure. All of their effort focused on developing a technique that would allow them to create a very explicit space.

BOUTIQUE HOTEL SILVERLAKE
the project started with the hemeroscopium house as a structural case study. from there a structural system is developed based on the ideas of cantilevering and counter balancing the structure using big scaled pre-fabricated pieces. spaces and volumes were defined from the organization of the structural members, which created an opportunity to start shuffeling the given program for a hotel . after the organization of the program the structure was re assembled to create an easy flow through the building. then the skin pattern from the previous studio project was incorporated with the new structure in order to create closure and openings for aperture.

after studying the site and the surroundings, the silverlake had the most influence on the site. therefore, the swimming pool was located on the 4th story, facing the silverlake, so when people are swimming in the pool they can see the lake while swimming and visulize themselves swimming in the lake.

INTERACTIVE FACADE WOODBURY UNIVERSITY MATERIALS & METHODS PROFESSOR: BERENIKA BOBERSKA ABDUL ALESSA, ARVIN SHIRINYANS FALL 2011
INTERACTIVE FACADE Using the Seattle Public Library as our group’s precedent, we realized that the structure of the building had numerous apertures with altered sizes. We attempted to experiment with different scales which created diverse apertures and through these experiments we arrived at a point where we wanted to have a construct that’s dimensions could be manipulated by one person. Through experiments we found different rotations which could work, and in what pattern we could have the tubes to be aligned so that they could be either completely open, semi-open or closed [acting as a façade] at the same time. Depending upon the rotation of the tubes it can be either private or semi-private, or public. The construct is sitting on a 4’x8’ base and is developed in order to keep the construct in place without any ground connection. Three steel pipes which are drawn from the center of the base to the top of the construct, which act as structural members by creating a system through the tubes. Within the tubes there are ball bearings which help the tubes to rotate into various positions. essentially when oriented in different positions they can be used for different purposes. The Plexiglas is installed into the tubes with a 1” L shaped bracket, connected to the main tube with nuts and bolts. Such characteristics allow the construct to act as an interactive façade system.

The circulation of the busses is in the initial driving force behind the design of the terminal. The second priority is the pedestrians, this is the order of the design process because as a person enters the terminal, they are originally brought in within a bus, and the efficiency and quickness of the bus reaching the terminal is the most important. As they exit the bus, their pedestrian circulation begins; therefore the most practical necessities became the most influential within designing the space, as well as the circulation of the pedestrians entering the terminal from the streets surrounding the site. It is site specific because the simplest route is the shortest, and therefore the most comfortable way of travel for the pedestrian.

In Los Angeles traffic is an immense part of the daily life for residents, whether it be by walking, bicycling, driving or taking the bus. The purpose behind this bus terminal is to create such a simple and easy flow of traffic throughout the complexities of Los Angeles’s roads and freeways, to have it be more favorable upon other forms of transportation and connecting the china town community located on the north east side of the site, the Hispanic community and churches which are located on the south east of the site, and the downtown business and modern community all together. This will result in more people using the terminal, and thusly less congestion within our roads. It is the easiest way for the people of the city to arrive and access other different locations of the town, that it will be less stressful to use the bus. It will be close to the freeway to allow quick arrival and departure for the busy Los Angeles residents. As well a comfortable place for them to rest and await their next bus, when they reach the bus terminal itself.
DESIGN DEVELOPEMENT

After studying the site with the mapping step there was no reason for the busses to reach both sides of the site, since one section is for people only, in order to be able to recognize a moment of peace and tranquility, therefore the bus terminal is located within the south side, and functions with two major sections, one being the area where the busses are mainly located, and upon the opposite is where the pedestrians and traffic are placed. This is done to create an easy and fluent flow of traffic throughout the entire site. The both sides of the site are connected with a footbridge for the terminals and waiting rooms which are upon one side, be accessible from the restaurants, and the bike facilities.

intervention HABITAT 825
loha draws inpiration from schindler in developing new forms of contemporary lifestyle through the use of light, materials, color and common open space. habitat 825, is located on kings rd. in the city of west hollywood and is adjacent to a historical architecture piece, the schindler house. while designing the apartments the architects considered the comfort of both the schindler house and the apartments, since most of the decisions were made based on privacy, light and comfort. the lime green color is used for offsetting black and white colors and a abstract reference to the bamboo prominent in schinler’s house. the color white is used to filter the light to the lower levels and last but not least the black color is used for the huge mass, in order to make it look smaller and in proportion with the rest of the building.

WOODBURY SD the project is about creating housing units inside the woodbury san diego building for the students and visitors. after visiting the building the ventilation issue stood out the most. therefore the project was designed to not only provide housing for the students and the visitors, but also ventilate the existing building using wind tunnels. there are two wind tunnels, one going through each unit in order to ventilate the units and the existing building . glass was the material used in creating the wind tunnels to help carry out the heat from the building and also be able to filter light through the units and into the the building.

TRANSIT CITY HOUSING 1229 S HOPE ST. the project site is located in downtown los angeles, 1229 s hope st. after studying the site conditions and the surroundings the decision was made to design a housing project that suites the lifestyle of people living in downtown in order to start driving downtown towards an urban lifestyle. the form of the building was generated from the sun light studies, since light is the main issue in designing highrise buildings and still being able to get the most amount of useable space and volume. certain openings were created to control the public and private programs as well as letting the wind flow through the building. the tower consists of 75 residential units which are designed to be studios, 1 bedroom units, and 1 bedroom duplex luxury units. the ground floor is occupied by commercial and retail spaces as well as a courtyard with a bar for downtown urban nightlife and activities.

O.B.S.E.R.V.E. BALLONA CREEK
the project site, ballona creek, is located in marina del rey, ca. the project is providing platforms for observing and studying birds as well as creating shaded areas by spaning and cantilevering for the ucla kayak teams to prepare for practieces and races. a platform for judges was designed on the highest point of the structure, in order to have a wide, open view of the creek while there is races or tournoments being held. the steel structure consists of a structural system which is seen throughout the entire project. the areas of where the steel structure is touching the ground is carefully considered and chosen in order to not block any circulation on the ground level and give the project more stabilty.
