Introduction Included in this document is a series of maps, drawings, charts and assessments intended to aid third year Mississippi State University School of Architecture students in the design of a mixed-use, multifamily housing structure to be sited in the city of Chicago. It is divided into six parts to allow for quick retrieval of the needed information. Building codes and zoning is developed in the first section to direct students in the needed structural and district information for the site given. ADA and egress then provides a quick overview of the information pertinent to the project. The third section focuses on site research including transportation and different amenities on the sites. Precedents aims to include a brief history of the housing options and an example of the various types. Occupancy and area requirements are included in the program section. Lastly the demographics for the three sites are analyzed. With the concise information pulled together, students should be able to retrieve the information quickly and optimize its use in the development of their projects.

Code Limitations Fire-Resistance Ratings Construction type fire resistance ratings with and without sprinkler systems governs the fire rating required in certain aspects of construction. Construction Type Limitations Type 1- residential not limited business not limited mercantile 30,000 sq. ft. Type 2- All NOT permitted Type 3- residential 8000 sq. ft. business 10,000 sq. ft. mercantile 8000 sq. ft. Type 4- residential 4000 sq. ft. business not permitted mercantile not permitted Type 5- not permitted Building Height Building height is governed by the individual zones within Chicago. It is also based on the function of the first floor. The building height is determined on the basis if commercial space is provided on the ground floor or not. If a residential occupancy is on the ground floor, the building is required to be shorter than if the ground floor is of business or mercantile occupancy. If the first floor is non residential, the first floor must have a minimum floor-to-floor height of 13 ft. as compared to the residential height which is a 7 ft. floor-to-floor height. High Rise Classification A building with an occupied floor more than 80 ft. is considered a high rise in Chicago. These requirements are set in place based on the ladder height of a fire truck.

Exit Access & Arrangement Required Exits The number of required exits is based upon the number of individuals that will be residing in the building. 49 occupants per egress exit is allowed in B and M, while R allows 10 occupants per egress exit. Length Limit The length limit of the common path of egress is specified by the occupancy group. All occupancy groups have a standard length limit. There are also specific lengths such as in business and residential. Exit Arrangement When two exits are required, they are to be placed a distance apart that is equal to 1/2 the diagonal dimension of the space. This measurement is taken from the center of the doorway.

1. Required Exits

Door Projection A door can project a maximum of 7 ft. when fully opened against the wall of the egress hallway. The opening of the door shall not reduce the required width by more than 1/2 of hallway width. Door Projection Recessed doors can have a 7 in. maximum projection into a hallway of egress.

Stair Rise Stairs shall have a max rise of 8 in. Stair Run Stairs shall have a max run of 13 in.

125

Ramps Ramps shall have a rise of 12 in. and a run of 20 in. minimum.

Climate “In the past, architectural forms have been influenced by the climate of the region, so that as geography changes, new architectural devices appear on the scene. Architecture’s subjugation to nature not only provided for diversity and identity, but also improved human experience by keeping man in close relationship with the elements.”

Meteorologist’s estimate that is about 12 inches of snow that is equivalent to one inch of water, which means a roof can hold up to four feet of snow. But if it is wet and packed snow it will only be able to hold up to 3 feet of snow.

Subtitle Goes Here Macro Transportation The main highways in Chicago are Interstate 290, running East and West, and Interstates 90 and 94, running North and South. They are the most frequently traveled roads. The mode of transportation ranges from driving, to riding the subway or “L,” to walking. The CTA, or Chicago Transit Authority, consists of the bus and rail routes. In this macro scale, the map shows the relationship of the three sites that were chosen for the Fall studio project. The Chicago “L,” the rail route, is shown by the green lines located on the map. The rail system operates over eight routes, two of which go to two major airports, the O’Hare International Airport and Midway Airport. The “L” is located behind two of the three sites. 630 S Wabash Ave is located within the Loop. The “L” is runs directly behind the site. Unlike the first mentioned site, 706 N Ashland Ave lacks tracks within or near the site being that it is located in an area farther away from the “L.” 1217 S State St, like the Wabash site, has the “L” running right behind it.

These universities include Depaul, Columbia, and Rosevelt University. Public parks make up a high percentage of green space located within the 10 minute walking radius. The heavy amount of educational buildings contrasts minimal amount of religous facilities within the 10 minute radius. Although the religious buildings are minimal, weekend attendances bring in thousands of worshipers. Public parks make up a high percentage of green space located within the 10 minute walking radius.

Multi-Family Housing Definition of Multi-Family Housing A Classification of housing where multiple separate housing units for residential inhabitants are contained in one or multiple buildings within a complex History of Multi-Family Housing in Chicago Multi-family housing blossomed after WWII when large numbers of returning soldiers caused a boom in the housing demand, which in turn strengthened the development of multi-family residences. For Chicago, the housing types started to change, particularly in the increased construction of row houses numbering in the thousands. The timeline for private sector multi-family housing in Chicago splits, however, as an increase in impoverished residents mandated the rise of public housing. Though both the public and private sector began constructing high-rise units to satisfy the housing demands in Chicago, public opinion of high-rise multi-family housing for the public sector all but vanished by the 1990’s, while the trend remains strong in the private sector.

Loft-Style Living Lofts vary between units that previously converted into smaller living spaces utilizing multiple floors to renovated buildings maximizing the area for living spaces. These dwellings have became prominent around the U.S., since the 1990’s. Lofts may be found in buildings that have a commercial ground floor with the living spaces above. Block-Style Housing Many colleges incorporate the block style houses because it is focused around the use of couryard spaces.

Row Houses/ Townhomes The Johnson St. Town homes are in Portland, Oregon, which is home to many historical buildings. Since the warehouse district no longer exists, town homes such as these flood the area. These were designed with the tenant in mind, as seen in the private courtyards and spacious floor plans. The design also features roof top balconies that provide the view of the community .

The architecture of the town homes feature brick veneer with a concrete structural system, which is important to the Portland area because of the harsh winters. The brick and concrete provides a thermal insulation, keeping the cold air out of the interior spaces. Also, the brick relates back to the 1900 brick buildings that surround the site. The street level presence of the building provides an interactive pedestrian flow along the sidewalks, done by linking the materiality of the townhomes to the retail and restaurants of the community.

The use of brick and concrete not only responds to the context, but it also provides thermal insulation for the colder months. This design incorporates many sustainable elements, such as concrete with fly ash, used as both exposed finish and structure, central energy-efficient water-loop heat- pump system, and recycling from demolition waste from existing structures. The heat pump allows for trade off and time of day energy needs, lowering the cost of heating and cooling. Since loft style living seems to lose a sense of public space, the eighth floor encourages green spaces and landscaping for sun shading.

Population Makeup Chicago has one of the richest immigration histories among American Cities. In 1870, immigrants made up a larger portion of the city’s population than any other place in North America. During an 80 year period between 1880 and 1960, the size of Chicago’s foreign born population was second only to that of New York City. Local immigration patterns unfolded in a manner parallel to those of the nation. Mid-19th century arrivals from Ireland and Germany were followed by large numbers of Russian Jews, Slavs, and Italians in the years 1880-1920. Since the immigration reforms of 1965, the city and its suburbs have attracted growing numbers of Asians and Latin Americans. These graphics portray a relation between Race, Ethinicity and General Population standings.
