WATTS OUR TOWN PROJECT MASS ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN
Location: Watts, Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, CA Design Phase(s) Participation: Schematic Design & Design Development Software Utilized: AutoCAD 2014, Rhino 4.0, Adobe Illustrator & Photoshop CS6 Collaborators: HOOD Design, Thinking Leadership, Cynthia Gonzalez The Watts Our Town Project is a community driven initiative that aims to revitalize the area between the iconic Watts Towers and the historic Watts Train Station. Our involvement consisted of the interior restoration of the station and the design of the canopy structure for the surrounding plaza. The community’s request for habitable outdoor space year round lead to the implementation of a steel tube, steel rebar and fabric structure that spanned the plaza creating shade from the sun but still allowing for the various urban activites.

One of the client’s main aspirations was for the space to have an eye-catching curb appeal. To achieve this we designed “The Cloud”, a Steel and Polygal ceiling installation that floated above the Retail Bar protruding through the storefront above the Entry Patio.

SFAC_CERAMIC ART CENTRE
The vessel for the creation of ceramic art at the Santa Fe Art Colony Location: Vernon, Los Angeles County, CA Geographic Coordinates:+34° 0’ 57.25”, -118° 13’ 53.20” Class: Design Studio 4A Term: Fall 2012 Instructor: Mark Stankard Ceramic art pieces are balanced art forms that illustrate the suspension of mass. This project achieves this effect by utilizing a central void as a vessel for structure, ventilation, and light. A series of programmatic spaces resting on top of one another twist towards their optimum solar orientation, while being penetrated by the crystallized void.

The project is situated in an industrial zone that was re-appropriated in the late 1980’s to become the Santa Fe Art Colony. The site is a 100’ by 40’ rectangle adjacent to a larger building full of artist’s studios. Specifi c elements of the program twist toards Downtown Los Angeles area framing views of the larger urban context.

CULTIVATING REHABILITATION
Midigating the Homeless Condition Through an Urban Micro-Farm Location: Downtown Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, CA Geographic Coordinates: +34° 4’ 24.47”, -118° 24’ 67.07” Class: Design Studio 3B Term: Spring 2011 Instructor: Gerard Smulevich Partners: Jorge Jocol, Alexis Urtiz Cultivating Rehabilitation is a homeless assistance facility located in the heart of Skid Row in Downtown Los Angeles, California. The chronically homeless population in Los Angeles , which are the people that continually remain homeless, are the target population for rehabilitation at the Cultivating Rehabilitation Homeless Assistance Center. The center will bring a unique approach in homeless assistance to the already existing network of shelters and missions in the Skid Row area of squalor in Downtown Los Angeles. The main programmatic aim of the project for homeless rehabilitation is assisted by the Urban Micro Farm (U.M.F) creating the link between improving one’s environment through full immersion into the agricultural assistance programs and the reintegration into society by successfully completing the offered substance abuse and mental health rehabilitation programs . The Micro Farm is a Hydroponic system that scales the entirety of the southern facade along the circulation grill creating shade for the programmatic spaces and allowing the inhabitants to tend to the farm throughout the day. The farming provides a system of interaction between the three populations by having the residents in the year long program take part in a mentor program to help the thirty day residents gain a more comprehensive understanding of the farming process. The thirty day residents in turn mentor the overnight residents to continue the education of farming cycle at the center. In order to accommodate the existing site necessities of near by business for parking, shipping/receiving products and access road the structure is lifted above the ground plane to allow for movement below the building. Conceptual Approach
Community Farming
Communal Rehabilitation
Cultivating Rehabilitaion would become a part of the existing network of homeless assistance facilities in Downtown Los Angeles. Its focus would be providing meals, lodging, educational programs, assistance with job placement, and crop growth for the Skid Row Area. Of the 40,000 homeless individuals in downtown Los Angeles, 12,000 (30% of the population) reside in the Skid Row area. The Midnight Mission, one of the oldest shelters in the area, located adjacent to Cultivating Rehabilitation and provides the majority of the meals served to the homeless on a daily basis.

Hydroponics
The building has three major structural steel components. The two vetical trusses that span the height of each tower, the truss cage that stabilizes the towers, and the system of I-beams that support each floorplate.
The wall of Hydroponics connects to the primary strucuture at each vertical shift of the circualtion path.
