CHAIRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S NOTE Students are the strength of Cal Poly Pomona Architecture (CPP/ARC). Many are the first in their family to attend college, most come from diverse backgrounds, and a substantial number of students transfer from a community college to fulfill their dream of becoming an architect. The students of CPP/ARC bring a drive and work ethic that allows them to excel, to establish their careers, and to contribute to the design of the built environments of California and beyond. The Architecture program at Cal Poly Pomona emerged from the creative and practical incubator of Los Angeles, which has long encouraged experimentation as it continually reinvents itself. Our Department also owes its diverse population and perspectives about the practice of architecture to the multicultural demographics of Southern California and the broad spectrum of creative opportunities found in the region. Experimental movements in architecture, along with the influences of high-tech, film, aerospace, and the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real estate development economy, are manifest in the Department curriculum. The program begins with a core foundation in design, followed by the technical training necessary for the practice of architecture. At the upper division, students explore electives, topic studios, and culminating projects that range from the theoretical to the practical. Many students focus on sustainability, preservation, urban design, healthcare, education, and hospitality design. Along this journey students build awareness of cultural phenomena, and emerging fabrication and construction techniques, which enriches their work, leading to a variety of careers in architecture.

Our program consistently graduates well-trained, creative and socially responsible designers that land terrific jobs or pursue challenging graduate studies. As we move forward, new ideas about architecture will transform the built environment, technologies will evolve, practice will surely change, and the students of CPP/ ARC will graduate prepared to make valuable contributions to the profession.

George Proctor Chair and Professor

Cal Poly Pomona Architecture values our relationship with industry. Our program owes much to the architecture and development communities, whose members are always welcomed into our studios as critics, mentors, and ultimately as employers. We consider you a lifelong partner that completes the training initiated in our programs. Come see the work, come meet our students and faculty, you are always welcome!

EDITORS’ NOTE The present edition of CPP ARC combines some of the most exceptional design and research work undertaken at Cal Poly Pomona’s Architecture Department in the 2016-17 academic year. The book presents a cross section of materials from the Department’s wide selection of courses - Studio Projects, Senior Projects, Theses, and research work from Professional Electives, highlighting the program’s emphasis on both design and conceptual work, as well as on the technical aspects of the discipline, reflecting the Department’s strong polytechnic foundation. The book is structured into four sections: Topic Studios and Electives, Foundation Studios, Technology Studios, and Senior Projects / Graduate Theses. Foundation Studios introduce students to the concepts of architectural design 13 and promote experiment and exploration through spatial and form making exercises, as well as more complex investigations into program and architectural form. The Technology Studios that follow focus on the tectonic elements in architecture and examine structure in its relationship to architectural space. More advanced classes investigate larger urban scales, and Topic Studios offer a multitude of design and conceptual approaches, providing a platform for debate and architectural discourse, often across disciplines. Finally, Senior Projects and Graduate Theses present the culmination of the curriculum, and students develop their own design and research agenda through intense and rigorous independent work in the context of the design studio. CPP ARC also offers a strong theory and history curriculum, complemented by the Department’s archival collections of historic documents of architects Raphael Soriano, Craig Ellwood, Donald Wexler, and Richard Neutra. The Neutra VDL House in Silverlake, furthermore, is the Department’s Los Angelesbased platform for exchange, exhibitions, and architectural discourse, forging strong ties with the city’s architecture culture, while the Department’s Noon Lecture Series and the annual Neutra Award invite the public, professionals, and scholars to the campus to foster dialogue and an exchange of ideas. While this book is far from representing a comprehensive overview of the work at CPP ARC, it shows, at a minimum, a snapshot of our vibrant culture and of the discourse that takes place at our school on a daily basis. We hope you enjoy it! Marc Schulitz Katrin Terstegen Editors

NEUTRA AWARD The Richard J. Neutra Medal for Professional Excellence is awarded by the Department of Architecture in the College of Environmental Design at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. The award is in recognition of the many contributions Mr. Neutra made to the practice of architecture in the areas of research and design. The intent, as articulated by Richard Neutra’s family, is to “keep alive the memory of Richard Neutra by rewarding individuals who have dedicated their careers toward researching and developing new environments in which to work, live and play.” 16

Established in 1980, the Neutra Award has been given to prominent architects and landscape architects as well as to individuals outside these professions that have made enduring contributions to environmental design and public policy. The award guidelines encourage the recognition of individuals who have “advocated the opening of wider and more serious channels of communication between the professions of Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Urban and Regional Planning.” In addition, the guidelines favor an individual “whose research and/or project development has made a contribution to the body of knowledge related to environmental design.” In this manner, the award guidelines are prescient in stressing the interdisciplinary nature of environmental design, a value we promote to our students as they prepare for professional practice.

ON THE ARCHITECTURE OF DRIVING THRU Over the last 75 years, the design of drive-thru restaurants in Southern California, their ubiquity and the consistency of their architecture, have had a profound effect on the region. Despite the negative effects associated with the drive thru and some local communities’ attempts to limit or ban them altogether as a building type, they remain a constant in most of our daily experiences. With the “success” and widespread adoption of the drive-thru as a model and fast food restaurants in general as a standard, their architecture and site designs have been taken for granted and have been frequently treated as a disposable commodity, falling prey to newer development, redevelopment, or corporate rebranding.

PCI TOPIC STUDIO: RESORT HOTEL This course, a material/product-based sponsored topic studio on Precast Concrete, was co-taught by faculty from the Departments of Architecture and Civil Engineering and focused on the design of a precast concrete structure. Students worked to produce complete designs, including detailed structural development and developed the architectural and structural design of a 96-room resort hotel. The studio, associated lecture course, and field trips provided a theoretical and practical overview of working with precast concrete to illustrate its advantages, versatility, and constraints. The project engaged design issues, ranging from master planning to detailed structural design for a complex that satisfied the requirements of accommodation, entertainment, sports, shopping, and convention.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS: THE GEFFEN CONTEMPORARY The Museum of Contemporary Art holds one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best art collections. Sadly, the museum is in bad economic shape and needs to generate revenues to survive. There is an opportunity that could work: expand and redesign the Geffen Contemporary and add revenue-generating projects that could amount to an endowment based on real estate value. The student team researched the relevant facts surrounding the Geffen Contemporary by collecting and organizing information about the site, its history, the people and events associated with the building, and the design architect and his practice. Additionally, the teams identified and documented the character-defining features of a building in order to be able to discuss the condition of the building, explaining the major alterations through time.

EDUCATION This studio focused on the rapidly evolving educational models in K-12 education and how these affect – and are affected by – design and architecture. The studio began with a Case Study exercise into innovative schools around the world and then embarked on a field trip to San Diego for tours of four cutting-edge K-12 educational institutions. Working in teams of 4-5 students, the class then began Project #1. For this exercise, the studio visited a typical kindergarten classroom and collaborated with the kinder students to develop concepts for an experimental ‘Learning POD’ – a functional classroom apparatus. Over the course of three weeks, these projects were designed, fabricated, and finally presented to the kindergarten class. The final studio project was to design a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) Academy for a site located near the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena.

OUT OF THIS WORLD For centuries, churches have been architectural testing grounds and served as vehicles to advance the discipline in all its aspects — whether in the conception of space, the articulation of volume, or innovations in building technology. This was only possible because the church’s prominence in society, resulting in large construction budgets and in the commissioning of only the best architects and builders. Even in recent history, when the influence of religion has waned, the church still belongs to one of the most soughtafter commissions for many architects, often resulting in their best work. The single most important reason churches offer such opportunities for experimentation and innovation is that their brief has only one requirement: to create a sublime and mystical space — a space that Le Corbusier calls “L’Espace Indicible,” an “un-speakable” space. The ingredients for such environments are also the most basic ingredients in architecture: space, geometry, light, material — used in the most radical and uncompromised way.

In this studio, we used the program of the church as an avatar to intensely study these ingredients and sought to propose a new vocabulary not only for sacral architecture but any architecture that is shaped by the ambition to provide the most profound experience of space — a space that is out of this world in every sense.

HEALTHCARE DESIGN The Healthcare Topic Studio focused on the design of two projects. One was a 1,000SF Wellness Clinic inside a fitness center, using modular construction to shorten construction time and reduce waste. The clinic includes orthopedic and acupuncture providers, as well as consulting staff. The second project is a SJHH renovation project that preserves the historical Spanish-Colonial YMCA building in Santa Ana. It provides a community health and wellness facility that encourages local residents for a healthy lifestyle and promotes an ecologically sound urban center.

BOBBY BROOKS INTERDISCIPLINARY DISNEY STUDIO This course was the 8th Interdisciplinary Design Studio sponsored by Walt Disney Imagineering (WDI) in memory of Cal Poly Architecture alumnus Bobby Brooks. The studio was a collaboration between the Architecture Department, the Department of Landscape Architecture, and members of the WDI creative cast. The teaching methodologies were based on the creative story-telling culture of Disney. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s topic was based on exploring concepts of freedom in the making of a new national identity for the United States through the design for a new Liberty Museum in New York City. As the Statue of Liberty nears its 130th anniversary, the goal was to create a museum on the site of the legendary Statue of Liberty National Monument. The studio was a process-oriented course informed by design charrettes and discussions addressing how architecture can deal with issues of civil rights and social justice to promote mass awareness, social exchange, and tolerance. The class traveled to New York City to explore themes of liberty present in venues like the 911 Memorial Grounds and Museum, the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and the Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park.

Walt Disney Imagineering opened its creative studios to the class to host a final presentation review with the expertise and mentorship of Imagineers from diverse disciplines to exchange with Cal Poly Pomona students. Sincere gratitude on behalf of Cal Poly Pomona goes to WDI, the leading WDI Imagineers, and Jennifer Brooks for their continued support.

MIESUNDERSTANDING This studio focused on the role that representation plays in generating an architectural project. As architects, the drawings, models, texts, and other descriptors we create are “stand ins” for real objects, but these “representations” are real things in themselves. Representations are the means with which we conceive of the thing that “stands in” for a built project. The peculiarity of a “representation” is that it is simultaneously the tool used to conceive of an object before it exists, a means of communicating an idea about an object that has been imagined, and the descriptor for a physical object that already exists. Architectural representations, given their reductive and diagrammatic nature, allow us to conceptually understand different aspects of a building — a model may tell us something about volume, a diagram may explain functional relationships, an isometric may tell us something about true scale, a perspective may tell us something about a project’s perceived relationship to its context. The “style” of a representation is also charged with meaning – how we draw or model a project tells us something about our philosophical and conceptual affinities, what precedents we looked at, and the period and place that we are situated within. Every line on a page is significant and carries weight.

VERTICAL STUDIO The studio focused on the design of vertical architecture and researched the theoretical and practical background of high-rise and super-tall structures. Studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; projects researched programming and construction systems of vertical architecture, their relationship to the urban context, and the versatility and constraints of tall structures. A centerpiece of the classâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; discourse was the relationship of form and material, both from a design standpoint and also in the context of minimizing the amount of materials and maximizing sustainable features. The design breif required all projects to be located at different buildable lots in Downtown Los Angeles with a creative mix of uses, including a public component as a key amenity. All designs were to be tall and auto-monumental, maximizing the allowable floor-area-ratio. The outcome was an ensemble of super-tall structures in a transforming neighborhood. Students were asked to participate in a critical discussion about the impact of such structures on the present and future environment.

ANATOMIES, TRAJECTORIES, AND GEOGRAPHIES Humans have an inescapable connection to the objects and environments they create. In the case of instruments that have been specifically shaped around the motion and performance of the body, these designs frequently take on a reciprocal relationship: the body is sculpted and trained to perform in concert with the machine and the machine is shaped to perform while being designed to make allowances for the body. While this relationship is ubiquitous, it is seldom explored in depth. The purpose of this class was to draw students’ attention to unique relationships in the history of engineering and technology that have propelled the human body beyond its initial “design” and “performance” limitations. The subjects of study for this course resulted in shapes and forms that through scientific testing and analysis have propelled examples of artistic expression, scientific exploration, and achievement in sport beyond what was previously thought possible.

LOS ANGELES IN THE 21ST CENTURY: AN EXHIBITION In the 21st century, Los Angeles continues to be a center of architectural innovation. Building on the foundation of 20th century Modernism, contemporary design draws vitality from the diversity of its population, a freedom to explore form and space facilitated by technology, and an appreciation of its mild climate and informal lifestyle – factors that were central to the local modern movement. As the city evolves, it seeks to reconnect with its historic origins – the river, downtown, and its neighborhoods and monuments. This course explored several themes that help explain the built environment of 21st century LA. Visits to sites and architects’ offices were conducted and students conducted research, leading to the identification of projects to include in an exhibition that is projected for a 2019 installation in the Kellogg University Art Gallery.

THE BOX

THE BOX One of the first young galleries near Downtown is ‚The Box‘ by Mara McCarthy. The daughter of the artist Paul McCarthy opened her gallery in Chinatown in 2007 and they moved to the Arts District in 2012: The building that was a paint shop for public busses in the first place became a playground for children afterwards, then it was the atelier of a fashion designer and now it is an art gallery. The Box is working with artists from all over the world, but especially with artists from California and Los Angeles. It is one of the major meeting points not only of the young scene of the city. McCarthy regularly shows former students of her father, who taught at the University of California (UCLA), curates retrospectives on forgotten or ignored art that are closely related to the history of the city such as the exhibition called ‚Los Angeles Free Music Society‘.

Hauser & Wirth are interested in working together with those wealthy people from the movie and IT business that are latterly interested in art. With their gallery in the Arts District near Downtown Los Angeles they recently opened a further gallery beside their spaces in Zürich, London, Somerset and New York. They opened the probably biggest commercial art gallery called Hauser Wirth Schimmel with the well known curator Paul Schimmel. He had been supporting the careers of artists like Mike Kelly and Paul McCarthy at MOCA, which he left in 2012 when Jeffry Deitch was announced to be the new director of MOCA. Since that time Schimmel has planned the modification of one whole block in the Arts District, which had been an industrial flour mill in the 1900s, into a 100.000 square foot art gallery. There are high-end stucco rooms for famous artists and raw depot rooms for younger artists. A huge courtyard with a soon opening restaurant are the center of the complex. The first exhibition shows abstract sculptures of female artists like Louise Bourgeois or Lygia Pape. Just about ten percent of all works are for sale which probably contributes beside the architecture of Hauser Wirth Schimmel to the gallery feeling more like a museum of contemporary art.

ARCHITECTURAL ROBOTICS The aim of the course was to develop the skills necessary to explore and design responsive and interactive architecture based on biomimetic processes. The primary goal of the course was to expose students to innovative ways of thinking about design in terms of adaptability. The idea was to create architecture that can physically re-configure itself to meet changing needs. The central issues explored were human and environmental interaction, embedded computational infrastructures, physical control mechanisms, and the processes that architects and designers can use in creating and demonstrating of such systems. Within the framework of this course, design processes and methodologies were developed, so that students will have the practical confidence to explore such systems in future design explorations.

INTRO TO DIGITAL FABRICATION The primary focus of this class was to explore different means and methods of digital output and automated fabrication, such as milling, routing, 3D printing, etc. In addition, the class examined processes for reproduction (molding, casting), as well as systems of assembly and spatial installation.

FORMACTIVE & BUILDING CONSTRUCTION I The classes focused on the exploration of space, structure, and force. The combined course investigated geometries and architectural design solutions that are form-active, meaning that the form solely determines its stability. The logic of forces and structural assembly can be utilized to generate design strategies that are spatially compelling and extremely efficient. Based on these classes investigations and on previous classesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; findings students built a full-scale Grid Shell using a geodesic segment geometry. The Grid Shell project was funded by a Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity grant (RSCA).

Jean Yang (LA) Kevin Slawson (LA) ARC 403L

The studio and the associated lecture course provided a theoretical and practical survey of the field of urban design with an emphasis on the role of the designer in the shaping of the built environment within the disciplines of architecture and landscape design. The courses worked together to explain the complex social, environmental, economic, aesthetic, and political/regulatory forces that affect the choices designers face in contemporary practice. The studio examined the current state of affairs for large mixed-use projects in Los Angeles. In light of the scarcity of affordable housing, developers are allowed to build ever-denser projects (especially at transit sites) with often minimal amenities, such as social infrastructure or designed open spaces.

The studio proposed alternatives to these high-density proposals by examining compositional patterns and building types that offer better connections to the outside. Students prepared two projects: a master plan and a final urban design proposal.

This is an intense travel and study experience in China, a giant of development showcasing extreme examples of our environmental design disciplines in which students experience the controversies of China as a major global power through a view at 5,000 years of history in cities like Beijing and Shanghai. The program is an interdisciplinary collaboration between the College of Environmental Design Disciplines and North China University of Technology (NCUT). The studio focuses around issues of cultural and historic themes that address the fast pace development in China and its impact on historic quarters in Beijing. This year, the topic focuses on Beijingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic urban axis and the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attempt to lead an urban renewal that addresses the axis as historic heritage.

SPECIAL TOPICS FOR LOWER DIVISION STUDENTS As an introductory exercise to digital design, students designed a font, which included all the Roman characters from a-z. The design of these characters was based on the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; formal analysis of an architectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work of their choice. Students were encouraged to use the geometry, regulating lines, and figure-ground relationships found in their case studies to form a distinctive method of written communication. They then formed these elements into new three-dimensional forms created in the computer.

Macay Clelland

This structure is an office building built in Buffalo, New York originally named the “Guarantee Building.” It is a high rise built in 1896 in the Early modern style. The building was designed with the “form follow function” concept with four different tiers to the building. Shown to the right is an elevation view of the structure. The particular element which I was interested in was the top of the structure where the facade transitions to the roof. The design uses compounded circles to decorate the wall. When I saw this part of the structure, I could envision the letters of the alphabet in this design of the wall. The circular nature of the wall design allows me to work with the ways the circles of the walls intersect each other to create a very similarly styled font between all the letters. The font contains smooth transition from “legs” of the font to the curved lettering, but also utilizes sharp points and intersections from the meeting of different curves that form elements like the serifs on the “L” and the “E” that help improve the articulation between letters.

This course is an introduction to the process of design through projects that address the relationship between spatial ideas and their forms. The purpose is to expose students to the design process through a series of exercises, which involve the transformation of simple geometric elements into increasingly more complex assemblages. Emphasis was placed on drawing and model construction as a means of seeing and understanding the world. The design explorations were framed around four exercises, in which objects built in the first exercise serve as the basis for the subsequent exercises. The projects, called Addition, Subtraction, Division, and Multiplication, emphasized the nature of the design operations used in the studio. The exercises taken as whole were intended to build practical skills, using both physical models and drawing to evaluate compositional design decisions.

During this quarter, students applied the knowledge gained from the exercises in the previous quarter in analyzing order and proportion, and in designing space. Students began with the study of a house, selected from a list of canonical architectural precedents, and analyzed its site conditions, organization, materials, and structure. This research then served as the basis for the design of a small vacation house. Students explored a variety of site, cultural, and climatic conditions in several settings around the world. The goal was to expose students to the diversity and particularities of architecture and what factors can drive its shape and form. By locating the project directly on the site of their case studies, students were not only asked to navigate the site conditions related to their designs but also to confront, absorb, contradict, and learn from the strength of the architectural language of acknowledged masters. Studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; designs served as basis for discussion about a broad array of issues, both in class and during the final review.

Sydney Ortega Hung (Ryan) Nguyen Lenore Roberts

In this course, students were exposed to a sequence of interlinked lectures, readings, and studies, focusing on site treatment, site documentation, site observation and programming on a site. The main project was the design of an overlook, the new David Lynch Ranger Center (DLRC), located adjacent to the Nike Missile Control Site LA-96 on an unpaved area of Mulholland Drive, facing south-southwest. In their approach to the project and site, students considered the history of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Basin, and the San Fernando Valley, and its use of water and treatment of the environment. Each student designed an artificial landscape on the given hillside site, into which a hybrid civil awareness and ranger training center was developed.

MUSEUM FOR A FICTICIOUS ART COLLECTOR

Mitchell De Jarnett Wendy Gilmartin ARC 202L

The project is a contemporary art museum for a fictitious collector, C R O collection PPING located on an infill site in Downtown Los Angeles. The art includes paintings and photography, sculptures, light-sensitive artifacts, light-emitting work, and outdoor sculpture, and each student curated the exhibitions and conceptualized an exhibition strategy. Artists include Robert Irwin, Dan Flavin, Monica Nouwens, Ellsworth Kelly, Erwin Wurm, Ai Wei Wei, Doug Aitken, Alexandre Farto, Bansky, Bill Viola, Mike Kelley, Yayoi Kusama, Rebecca Lowry, Sol Lewitt, Lee Bontecou, and Ron Mueck.

The design of this museum is relied heavily on architectural process. Rather than intuitive designing solution, the excercise explored to design the process of arriving to stage of final design. These process included addition subtraction of simple rectangular cubic volumes, and cropping those created volume in an angle.

The focus in the design of the museum was the balancing of programmatic adjacencies, interior and site circulation, and the implementation of lighting strategies appropriate for the specific artwork, as well as formulating a response to the urban context. As preparation for the project, students worked on three smaller projects exploring connectivity, programming, and adjacencies and also studied several art museums in Los Angeles. After various objects were produced

through cropping of an object that has been added and carved, the project

took another step of addition and subtraction of cropped object inorder to increase in its size to coordinate the programs that are required in the museum.

SECOND YEAR DESIGN 3

Katrin Terstegen ARC 203L

The studioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focus was the importance of the site. The project site chosen for the project had historical, topographical and contextual qualities that had to be addressed by the students as they designed the Orange County Marine Mammal Rescue Center (OCMMRC). The course was set up as a series of additive exercises that had to be negotiated with each other to complete a cohesive design solution. The design of OCMMRC was intended to create a sustainable environment that provided medical care for injured marine mammals and addressed thermal comfort with passive heating and cooling strategies, as well as water resource conservation designs. Students were challenged to create shading designs that fulfilled shading for specific dates and times and to direct favorable natural ventilation for the facility. The best designs of each section of the class were selected to participate in a Southern California Gas Company-sponsored Sustainable Design Competition.

INTRODUCTION TO ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN Students worked on a three-part project to engage foundational architectural topics: Point, Line, Plane & Volume Regulating Lines Datum Lines Vocabulary v. Syntax Figure-Ground Relationship Figure v. Field Landscape Frame-Work v. Earthwork Through intensive model and drawing making, students gained familiarity with convention in architectural representation. From selected readings and other references, students contextualized personal work/ investigation as part of a greater architectural discourse. Through serial examination and discussion, students accepted process as essential architectural work and acquired authorship of their work.

INTRODUCTION TO ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN II The focus of the studio was the development of a critical understanding of space, while simultaneously building a process-oriented skillset for the making of space. Students traversed through a cumulative series of process exercises, designed to explicitly and introspectively help them understand key facets of space-making. Exercises focused on questions geared towards clarifying such facets via their counterparts; additive and subtractive processes, light defined through shadow, and solid through void. Students also learned to integrate architectural aspects of space, such as programming, circulation, and a contextual response to an urban infill situation.

TECTONIC STUDIO

Kip Dickson ARC 301

The brief for the studio was the design of a scientist retreat next to an observation facility, located in a protected nature preserve. The facility is intended to be used mostly as a lookout for scientists, and it will occasionally be available to hikers and weekenders interested in astronomy. Based on the given topic, students generated impromptu design vignettes that amounted to a series of design alternatives. New building design elements were sequentially explored for their design potential, always with the constraint of â&#x20AC;&#x153;technicalâ&#x20AC;? accuracy: a stair must work, a ramp is ADA-compliant, the skin of the building achieves closure, a roof drains water, and so forth.

Edgar Sanchez Peter Goodwin Matthew Rivera

Mount Wilson Science Retreat A program composed of mostly private space with a small amount of public and shared communal areas, yielded two equal rectangular forms. One of these forms was used to accommodate the public and allow overlap between public and semi-public space. The other form hosted the private components of the program. The given site had a small existing foundation. In order to host both shapes while simultaneously keeping a small footprint, the two shapes were forced to become stacked. By using the roof of the lower shape as an ADA accessible gathering space the boxes then began to resemble a cruciform with an extend cantilever on one side. The main construction method used was typical heavy timber framing with pre-stressed tension cables where cantilevering occurred. The choice of wood as the primary structural component was made simply because of the simplicity of the design. The total height of the structure is less than twenty feet and with no extraordinary dead or live loads to accommodate, wood was deemed a suitable choice for this mountain retreat.

The two rectangular forms are composed of six bays, each measuring 8 feet wide, 16 feet long and 8 feet tall. These bays hosted a component of the program with some bays being combined when larger areas were needed. The treatment of the exterior façade was a direct result of the program found in each bay. A small wooden screen composed of 1”x1” posts was placed on tracks along the exterior of the structure. These sliding panels were placed in areas where they could overlap the floor to ceiling windows if privacy was needed but also could slide over solid portions of the structure if light and openness was desired. By strategically organizing the interior program with the wooden screens in mind, the building could either be about 50 % open, meaning all the windows are unobstructed or 100% closed when privacy was needed. Another benefit to the wooden screen was the ability to diffuse the light emitted by the building at night. During nighttime use of the telescope the panels could slide over the windows minimizing the glow and improving the telescopic viewing experience.

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

Dennis McFadden ARC 302

The studio was the first quarter of a two-quarter long comprehensive project, designed to meet the NAAB requirement for all students to be engaged in a comprehensive project. It aimed to augment the knowledge of contemporary production of housing, including the application of specific construction materials and systems in relation to tectonics, expression, and affordability; working knowledge about the dwelling, its internal order, and relevant dimensional limits; an ability to relate multiple dwellings, and an understanding of how architectural design affects the human environment. The project site was an existing parking lot in Pasadena, California. The long narrow site is elongated along an east west axis and was selected to foster southern exposures and cross ventilation to the units. The property allows 10 units by right on the site, however, with inclusionary low-income housing, many students opted for 14 units, including a density bonus for including 2 low-income units within the design proposal. Students were encouraged to develop a subterranean parking solution, which included developing parking ramp access and egress/ADA requirements.

The Units are made of two Mirrored Interlocking U-Shaped forms which are angled on one side (where the stairs split), taking the angle of the site.

14 ”

Walls are Thic, starting at 20” for the elevation Frame, and inside the Units it becomes 14” twhich creates better sound insulation and also enables the addition of built in Closets and Kitchen Cabinets

All Units have North and South windows which allow views both to the street and the Central Garden. North windows allow sunlight in all Units throughout the day. Crossing windows allow cross ventilation and enhances the space quality.

The studio aimed to integrate of a series of learning outcomes from a range of technical classes in the architectural curriculum. The studio utilized the multi-family housing design developed in ARC 302/302L in the previous quarter and advanced the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; designs to a more detailed level that demonstrated studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; understanding of construction materials, construction processes, structural systems, electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems. The package simulates a typical design development (DD) package from a series of weekly exercises. The final package culminated the comprehensive experience of studio and support lecture courses that are integrated into the individual document sets.

LATERAL LOADS Architectural design for natural hazards, such as overturning, high-force winds, and earthquakes are a technological challenge and a professional and social responsibility. In this course, the scientific, technological, social, and economic implications of natural hazards, which subject the built environment to dynamic lateral forces, were considered. Students participated in problem-solving activities, which introduced overturning, wind and seismic design fundamentals, and also prepared the students for the ARE professional exam, including lateral force-resistant design.

3D Seismic Graph

Seismic waves from an underground nuclear explosion at the Nevada Test Site recorded by the broadband digital seismographs at Mt. Hamilton on August 13, 1987

3-Dimensional Earthquake Wave Lab Abstract In the event of an earthquake, the ground shakes in three dimension simultaneously: up and down; east to west; and north to south. The information obtained in seismographs is a representation of the ground shaking in each separate dimension. This project attempts to combine the information obtained in an earthquake graph and display it’s three axial behaviors simultaneously it as a threedimensional diagram. A procedure is followed in which each seismograph curve is placed on an axis, given volume, and extruded threedimensionally using CAD. The interception of each of the three dimensions is then isolated and a three-dimensional mass is created which represents the three dimensions of the earthquake. Results

Up and Down Extruded Wave

North to South Extruded Wave

The interpretation of what a threedimensional earthquake wave looks like is open to debate, since such a phenomenon is only conceptual, and nothing physical exists. Our approach resulted in a three-dimensional physical graph that represents the twodimensionality of a seismograph in three axis. It conceptually represents the behavior of an earthquake’s wave in its three-planes of motion.

INTERACTIVE MEDIA FOR ARCHITECTS “Recognition of the drawing’s power as a medium turns out, unexpectedly, to be recognition of the drawing’s distinctness from and unlikeness to the thing that is represented, rather than its likeness to it, which is neither as paradoxical nor as dissociative as it may seem.” Robin Evans, “Translations from Drawing to Building,” 1986. This course presented the framework through which students were to generate a digital portfolio, reframing an architectural concept through rhetoric and re-representing the project through format. In examining the argument of the autonomy of the drawing, put forth by Robin Evans, this course sought to update that statement through examining the idea of format, as presented by David Joselit’s “After Art.” The course also challenged the conventional means of architectural representation and presentation through the reevaluation of medium (materials that are used to create) and media (the plural of medium; also the collective outlets or tools that are used to store and deliver information or data.)

Students were to introduced to new formats, such as filmmaking, video editing, motion graphics and animation, and website development as a diverse toolkit for rearticulating the narrative of an existing project. Throughout the course, students were asked to develop a character to represent their project and method act for presentations. This seminar resulted in the production and presentation of a portfolio through mediums/media specific to each project.

GRADUATE STUDIO - DESIGN DEVELOPMENT The subject of study from this 2016-17 MArch and MLA (Master of Landscape) collaborative design studio sits at an arrested urban boundary, on a seam between the natural and the artificial, and between the ecologies of regional landscapes and the idiosyncrasies of a small interpretive building. At the edge of the Cleveland National Forest on Ortega Highway in south Orange County, the recently relocated Rancho Mission Viejo Reserve land conservancy headquarters sought to develop an interpretive center building and educational gardens with the mission â&#x20AC;&#x153;to preserve and enhance Reserve lands for ecological, educational, charitable, conservation, open space, scientific, and recreational uses.â&#x20AC;? Second-year MArch students focused their efforts on the design of a simple and highly developed building that was carefully inserted into its natural context. The site contains a repurposed ranch house, now acting as offices, and a hay barn, designed in 1967 by Frank Gehry. As part of the studio project, a substantial landscape and site design component was developed by the second-year MLA studio. MLA students investigated regional landscapes and considered how elements of these landscapes could exist on the plot of land holding the Reserve offices. MLA and MArch students collaborated to fine-tune landscapes with building placement, interfacing the building with the Reserve campus and natural context. The second-year MArch design studio, also known as the Tectonics Studio, links various technical courses and is run jointly with the introductory structures course. The MArch students began by working through a short series of design vignettes investigating envelope and structure as architectural generators. After several weeks, the MArch students settled in to the design of the Reserve interpretive center. The proposed building pad(s) sit between the HQ offices, and the Gehry hay barn.

GRADUATE STUDIO - DESIGN DEVELOPMENT The goal of this course was to prepare a Design Development package of individual student housing designs completed in ARC 505/505L. Design Development is a major contractual phase of professional architectural services. This course continued the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; exploration of materials, building systems (structural and environmental), and the development of calculations and details to further describe their ARC 505/505L designs. Students also refined code compliance with respect to their designs for fire, life safety, and accessibility.

INDUSTRIAL GEOLOGIES The urban landscape of Los Angeles is informed in large parts by the radical subordination of nature to the will of real estate speculation and the means of increasing industrial automation. While the organic landscape transformed into an orthographical hardscape, the built environment, industrial buildings remain merely practical, devoid of urban and architectural considerations other than optimized individual positioning for transporting and manufacturing. It occurs that not only streets but also buildings represent an infrastructure of production and transportation. The renewed interest in the relationship between landscape and architecture seeks to identify a distinct relationship between the geography, geology, and nature with the built environment, questioning established architectural terms such as program and building in general. Building upon this assumption, the theme of the Senior Project sought to enter a new territory by establishing new grounds for industrial architecture for production, anticipating places with no permanent inhabitants in a city with (almost) no citizens: Vernon, California.

With Vernon, the smallest incorporated city in the state, situated directly adjacent to the largest city in the state and the second largest in the nation, Los Angeles, a clear urban and social context can be identified. However, the questions are less centered around the sustainability of the city of Vernon as an urban entity or its environmental issues. The focus, instead, is that of an industrial landscape, an und(er)efined typology (with all its micro-typologies) that is scalarly bound by urban conditions revolving around human occupation, yet is devoid of human interaction other than migration as a result of labor. This not only leaves an opportunity to question and define industrial architecture within its own boundaries as a hermetic exercise, but also allows an investigation in the layers, archeology and geology of the industrial archetypes, industrial scale, nature, built environment, formation, and functionalism. Each building can be viewed as a self-regulating, self-conditioning entity displacing the rank of the occupant with the pragmatism of its own organization and optimum efficiency.

SYMBOLIC PROJECTION “Apparent irrationality of a part will be justified by the rationality of the whole.” Robert Venturi It is often presumed that a symbol, while not necessarily representing the truth, represents a belief. Symbolism is most relevant in the architecture of churches, where geometrical constructions signified the diverse forms of the universe, and ultimately, God. However, this is merely a translation. Church forms often carry arbitrary assignations of meaning, where no resemblance is asked for between the symbol and what it symbolizes (1). Thus, this proposal combines part-to-whole relationships and architectural projection as a technique to reinterpret the divine geometry that exists within church symbolism. Projective geometry serves not as a representation of the traditional church, but rather as a complementary misrepresentation. These geometrical derivations thus allow the symbol to share defined formal properties with its referent. Consequently, an architecture is created where ambiguous symbol, neither model nor arbitrary sign, flourishes. The centralized church serves as the basis for the architecture, for its heavy reliance on symbolism (2) reflects the proposal’s use of projection techniques. Whereas in the Latin cross plan, symbols and forms hold subjective assignations, the central plan pushes a deliberate elimination of the conventional image found within the standard church. In pursuit of geometrical projection as a translation to divest the church of icons and frescoes, the architecture and its representation become equally objectified, yet devoid of equal status.

HOUSING Collage & Montage. Collage and (photo)montage techniques and ideologies highlight contrasting approaches by Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe in construction of three-dimensional space. As in his Cubist work Corbusier composes building-like collage with layered, extruded plans. Mies orchestrates floor, roof, and wall as discrete elements in photomontage owing to his early Dada exposure. Construction and quality of space were raised when examining onestory Mies projects like the Barcelona Pavilion and Craig Ellwood’s local residential Mies-tribute projects. Expanded discussion on two- and three-dimensional space translated, in various projects, into exploration of plan/section relationship, and also making of intentionally flat drawings. Case Study House Program. Some students revisited John Entenza’s optimistic postwar vision that never fully materialized despite valiant efforts by Saarinen, Eames, Soriano, Ellwood, Koenig and other Case Study architects. The collective body of work, while influential, ultimately failed to establish a lasting template for modern living and home design. And Modern is relegated as “style,” merely one of many.

Small Lots Ordinance and Mat Typology. Mat typology, by its very definition high density-low rise and courtyard dependent, is rarely done locally. This is due primary to fire safety requirements, both in terms of unit egress and fire truck access. OMA’s Nexus World in Fukuoka and MVRDV’s proposed Patio Houses in The Hague brought renewed attention to this oldest density-housing type found in early cites spanning Marrakech and Kyoto. Mies’ Three Courtyard Houses project and Eduardo Souto de Moura’s Patio Houses in Matosinhos are effectively houses, lacking the requisite density to be housing. The recently enacted Small Lot Ordinance acknowledges both the need for greater density and the preference/demand for freestanding, individual, and ground-bound dwelling. Transit Oriented Development. Metro LA’s ambitious building program includes not only extending and building new rail lines but also developing mixed-use projects around the stations. While the efficacy of public transit for a city as far-flung as LA is hotly contested, both sides of the debate acknowledge growing environmental concerns and the reversal of 50+ years of suburban expansion. TOD, with its elevated logistical requirements, is attractive to students who prefer a project with complicated program. TOD as urban node also allows a project to confront issues of the city.

100 COURTYARD HOUSES “A boundary is not that from which something stops... the boundary is that from which something begins its presencing... Space is in essence that from which room has been made, that which is let into its bounds.” – Kenneth Frampton (Studies in Tectonic Culture) Modernist pioneers Rudolf Schindler and Richard Neutra, friends and rivals and fellow Austrian transplants, pointedly responded to Southern California’s moderate climate and relaxed attitude in their residential work. In a series of early seminal projects — Kings Road House (1922), Lovell Beach House (1926), and Lovell Health House (1929) — they established outdoor living space as the main focal point by dematerializing the building envelope. In 1945, John Entenza, editor of Arts & Architecture, initiated the landmark Case Study House program (CSH). Riding post-war prosperity, the program aimed to firmly establish a Modern residential idiom, continuing the legacy of Schindler, Neutra and their Second Generation followers. The ‘100 Courtyard Houses’ project uses the Dingbat 2.0 site in the Westside Palms neighborhood to ponder an alternative post-CSH Los Angeles. Instead of reinventing Rayner Banham’s beloved dingbats, this project re-imagines the courtyard-centric house in the grand Southern California tradition. “[Mies’s] elegant use and expression of structure, his floor plans, his details, his plays of planes and spaces were perfection. He was the architect I wanted to be, and his work would highly influence mine.” – Craig Ellwood (Life is a Bottomless Barrel) Craig Ellwood, author of CSH #16/17/18, fashioned his architecture in the style of Mies van der Rohe. His pavilion-like designs exhibit strict regulating lines in the x and y dimensions, which are then expressed through only a few free standing walls in the Z dimension, meeting at one major datum line — the roof. With these planes running between the interior and exterior, these houses render interior/exterior divisions non-existent. Mies further exemplified the same regard toward negative space – Brick Country House (1923), Barcelona Pavilion (1929), and 3 Court Houses (1945). In this tradition, planes are layered and juxtaposed against one another, challenging the perceived sense of boundary.

THE CONNECTED WORLD As we continue to embrace a world where the lines between the physical and digital are increasingly blurred, we are beginning to see a maturing vision for architecture that is inextricably tied to technological living trends. Students critically reflected upon the ways in which our architectural world is not only digital, but also seamlessly networked and connected. How architectural design integrates and reconciles the digital in our contemporary context is nothing short of reciprocal innovation. We examined trends in workplace and retail environments as well as the culture of making in commercial projects It is impossible to predict how quickly architecture in the connected world will be widely adopted and executed and what standards will work their way to the fore, and yet, it is vital that student designs recognize this area of design as an inevitable and completely integral part of how we will make buildings and cities in the future. The platform is ripe to foster unique applications that are tied to our living trends which are both affected by, and affect digital technology. In addition to looking at the contemporary context of an increasingly technologically impacted society, the projects in this studio were expected to critically place their buildings within the downtown Los Angeles urban fabric. The specific areas of interest were exclusively confined between the 10/101/110 Freeways. Students were asked to specifically focus on buildings that have failed and/or are currently vacant (partially or other) as well as gaps or neglected spaces in the urban fabric as potential sites.

VERTICULTURE Creating a Better Agricultural Process. The Capitol of Agriculture. Drive through the Central Valley, and it is clear that California is the agricultural capital of America. Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s combined agricultural commodities make up 13% of the U.S. total.(1) This is no surprise because in 2009, approximately 43% of Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s land was used for agriculture, 27% of which was used for solely for crops.(2) The agricultural process takes up enormous spreads of land, not only for the purpose of growing the crop, but also for the processing of the crops into the products that Americans purchase. The Current Dilemma. Despite agricultural products, one of Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most profitable and necessary resource, the amount of land dedicated to agriculture, has been declining. This land is being lost through the development of more urban areas.(3) As the urban sprawl continues, rural land will continue to diminish, giving way for further development. It seems that there can be no harmony between the rural and the urban. Furthermore, the process in which agriculture is currently being done is questionable; natural habitats are put in jeopardy, there is a decline in healthy soil, and a lot of wasted water.(4) If the process was to be reversed, however, and urban development gave way for more rural uses, it may be possible to achieve desegregation, and a potential solution could be found that did not destroy soils, and even save water and eliminate the need to encroach on natural habitats in the process. High-Rise Agriculture. The goal of this project is to be a precedent for bringing the rural into the urban. Growing the rural product in the middle of the city will starkly contrast the current concrete/ glass/steel urban condition. What was once a 2D horizontal process of agriculture and production will become a vertical process within high-rise buildings in Downtown Los Angeles. The crops will grow on the architecture and then be processed in the architecture.

Senior Project

ON WAITING A direct result of planning for the future, waiting is a fundamental and universal condition of human existence. Whether planning their life around agricultural and hunting seasons in pre-industrial societies or contemplating such steps as going to college and searching for a job, the life of human beings is, essentially, a continuous chain of preparing for an action and of dealing with its consequences. The Industrial Revolution, which brought greater physical and social mobility, also increased the number of situations where people had to deal with unexpected and prolonged waiting periods. The post-industrial era — and especially the use of portable electronic devices — seems to have eliminated the “unproductive” and “torturous” waiting time. However, the digital revolution and the unprecedented efficiency, with which we now record the present and plan for the future, has also transformed waiting into even more ubiquitous — even if less noticeable — aspect of our lives.

106

This section of the senior project focuses on the built environment in which the user is forced to see the same building during a prolonged period of time. The programs include, among others, transportation hubs, training and athletic facilities, health-care and child-care centers, hospitality and residential establishments for people with special needs, judicial and administrative institutions. While operating within the constrains of these relatively simple and mundane building types, the students focused on the portions that are too often considered as subsidiary to more “important” programs. At the same time, students were encouraged to think of waiting as a cultural phenomenon. Does waiting indeed constitute the least productive part of our life? Can waiting be regarded as anything other than a torturous period of forced idleness? Is there any way of transforming the involuntary waiting time into a fulfilling experience of self-reflection and social interaction? And — most importantly — can all or any of the above questions be addressed through architecture?

[MIS] REMEMBER ME 1. It was an ordinary day in all respects. The clock ticked as time turned, engines buzzed as cars rolled, and eyes began to wander. focus A pair of tired eyelids were livened by a pair of red lights ahead. The car quickened to an agonizing halt and eyes began to wander. focus damn it In the distracted gaze was a building. The building was already faded from memory, existing and gone within a near second of an ordinary look over the shoulder. The heat of the day fuzzed the edges of the cars that finally began to move as traffic began to clear and the world resumed again. And eyes began to wander. 2. It was an ordinary day in all respects. The clock ticked as time turned, the engines buzzed as cars rolled, and eyes began to look around. focus A welcome breeze caressed the hand that casually laid outside the open car window as they zipped passed the drivers unwelcome to the Fastrak lanes. And eyes began to look around. focus damn it In the search around was a building. Part of it seemed to exist as if it were made for this exact moment in time. The image quickly faded from memory when the hands returned to the steering wheel and a further press on the accelerator continues the car on its whizzing journey home. And eyes began to look around. 3. Some would call it an unordinary day. The clock ticked as time turned, engines quieted as cars parked, and eyes began to search. The elusive building had been seen many times but failed to be comprehended. It had always existed as many times, had always existed from multiple places; now, on a rare visit to a DMV, it exists as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a wholeâ&#x20AC;?.

[ ] In an image based society Architecture is already expressed and captured in snapshots. Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat; a whole arsenal to capture the world through a small camera on the backside of a smartphone. Architecture might as well step ahead of itself and become generated in the realm of short attention spans. Architecture as a composition of passerbys, casual glances, and rubbernecks. What happens to these image generated spaces in the real realm of Architectural time?

Thesis Project

GRADUATE THESIS PROJECT Architectural education, importantly, provides a setting for students to explore architectural ideas, procedures, and products, and to overcome preconceptions about architecture that may have in part been influenced by a lifelong immersion in physical environments that are absent of design thought; such is the state of our world. This journey of discovery is, ideally, delightful for both the student of architecture and their thesis faculty advisor. The MArch Thesis Project is intended to be an independent exercise, in part providing evidence the student has mastered the discipline of architecture. Importantly, the Thesis Project also provides the student with a platform for exploring specific interests, and a position for how an architect operates within this set of interests. The Thesis Project requires curiosity, objectivity, intellectual integrity, and passion, which must be supported with personal dedication, conviction, intellectual rigor, and a strong work ethic. Central to the design thesis project is the notion that a student has dedicated his or her critical thinking skills to a real or hypothetical problem, has investigated improvements to known methods, procedures, and products in architecture, or framed a position for architecture from personal curiosities about human environments, buildings, and urbanism.

110

For students to be able to proceed to their Thesis Project defense, they must provide documentation of what led to their investigation, and clearly state a proposition based on their research findings, one that can stand up to counterpoint, debate and criticism. The student must also offer both verbal and graphic descriptions of the formal, spatial, organizational, making and material strategies and methods considered for their investigation. They must similarly describe an architectural project, program, context and site that are appropriate as fodder to test the stated Thesis Project agenda. Importantly, it is incumbent upon the student to select the appropriate types of representation for their Thesis Project, prepared in a professional manner, as evidence of their mastery of architecture. MArch Thesis Projects range from the sacred to the profane, and from small strategic infill projects, to large complex institutional and commercial complexes. Each Thesis Project and its author is a participant in the never ending search for perfection in architecture; elegance, originality, and inventiveness, in response to clearly identified architectural design issues.

Senior Project

AN URBAN FACTORY The rapidly changing and increasingly unstable nature of the Los Angeles metropolitan condition provides a unique platform for the integration and growth of manufacturing typologies large, small, and those in between. Perhaps the most impactful typology, the factory, reveals itself as the ultimate partner of the metropolis due to its dynamic and flexible nature. Simultaneously, a constant need for respite and livability in the midst of an unstable urban condition can impose a unique tension into a factory typology that traditionally accommodates compositions of workflow, activity, and production. This project intends to explore this conflict to advance the idea that an urban factory can be an incubator for future living, thinking, and making in the city. The factory represents the epicenter of the project and functions as a conceptual window: a medium to reveal future directions that positively reflect this tension within the metropolis. The inherent cultural landscape of the Los Angeles Arts District makes the neighborhood an eclectic fascination and provides the citizen with an exceptional resource to develop this urban factory as a new public realm. Some of the most influential ingredients embedded within the texture of the district are the edges contextualizing its very fabric, namely, its historic buildings, bridges, the river, and the influential art scene. Operating as the assemblage of the district’s infrastructure, the factory will serve as the valve through which urban activity can filter, treat and percolate the diverse nature of the urban landscape. The factory’s participation in the making of a new edge within this context will serve as the platform through which living, innovation, and fabrication can assemble to create endless opportunities for production.

A Place for Making - The project’s essential component, the factory, offers flexible and generous spaces for fabrication and accommodates large scaled spaces to operate as the nucleus of the building. A Place for Thinking – The Innovation portion of the project functions as the brain of the building and operates in the spaces between the factory floor and amenity roof. A Place for Living – The tower serves as the binding element of the project and is placed at the north end of the site, overlooking the new park. It functions as the place for rest and each level integrates areas for entertainment like galleries and areas for collaboration as you ascend upward.

CATALOG TECTONICS A manual for an exhaustive warehouse A concrete slab, a 10 foot path, a steel column, a shelf, a watertank leg, A shutter, a shelf, a room full of things, a spout, a stair, a shelf, a shelf, a shelf. Photosynthesis and plumbing, a shaded space. A lift, a shelf, a much bigger shelf, a 6 foot path and a row of many shelves. A sprinkler head. A duct, a duct return, A pipe, two pipes, a vent... This thesis sees Architecture as an organizational act. The indexing of “stuff,” the inventory, the instructions manual, all the ordinary systems, here considered sources of authorship that can be architecturally generative. A manifesto for the boring, this project interrogates the index in an attempt to exhaust what Georges Perec referred to as the “infraordinary.” It uses the reductionist methods of computational logics in order to translate inventory into data then data into built site. Decoupling the content of the catalog from its meaning, it reduces objects to their basic logistical needs, their algorithmic zeros and ones, only to be qualified by their relationships and input strategies. It is a manual for how to organize 900 things. The spatial embodiment of data and its infrastructure, it is photosynthesis and plumbing over architectural composition.

Laida Aguirre

Referencing the metric measurements of artist Channa Horwitz, Sol Lewitt’s wall instructions and the writings of French philosopher Georges Perec, this thesis is concerned with methods of recording, registering and expressing the smallest unit of a given quantity or quantifiable object and its logistical and spatial necessities. This “accountant’s architecture” rejects the headlines, the metaphor and the explicit desire to create phenomena, instead it leans on a fastidious implementation of information, all else is consequence. Using an inductive method, the space-making process is reasoned from the specific to the general. The object is raised to its programmatic potential, relegating what we currently understand as Program (commonly understood by its potential for human occupancy) to a secondary position. The inventory is the new program, “a self-generating world that varies in time and place, indifferent to our presence.” This thesis effectively reduces architecture to a role of “supporting shed” for a shifting inventory, a mere physical articulation of the ordinary and necessary. - Georges Perec - ‘Species of Spaces’ - Pierre Huyghe - Documenta exhibit press release

PROGRAMS The Department of Architecture (CPP ARC) offers two degrees: a five-year Bachelor of Architecture degree (B.Arch) and a three-year First Professional Master of Architecture (M.Arch I) degree (advanced standing is available for students with an architectural background). Both the undergraduate and graduate architecture programs are accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB). As a professional program in architecture, we advocate for the broader purposes of architecture, including its public significance, its role in creating sustainable environments, and its provision of service to society through graduates who are responsible professionals, motivated by a sense of civic engagement. Our mission is to: • Promote design excellence, environmental sustainability, and social responsibility • Conduct professional degree programs that exceed national standards • Expand connections and services to the University and the greater community • Create a supportive environment for students, faculty, and staff • Make architecture education available to under-represented communities CPP ARC is one of the most competitive programs in the United States. The popularity of our programs is based on our reputation for excellence in design instruction, for teaching the technical aspects of architecture, and for our learn-by-doing ethos. To underscore our popularity, we can point to our admissions numbers: our undergraduate program receives between 1,500 and 2,000 applicants for 120 places, and our graduate program is also highly selective. We also benefit from our highly diverse student body and faculty, and from our ranking as the most diverse architecture school in the country.

116

CPP ARC is highly respected by outside groups, such as the architectural accrediting agency NAAB, the architecture rankings magazine DesignIntelligence, and by the firms that hire our graduates. In its last review of our program, NAAB described CPP ARC as being at the forefront of architectural education with its focus on urgent real world problems. DesignIntelligence lists our program in their Top 20 Architecture Schools in the United States and in their Top 5 Architecture Schools in the West. We are also listed in DesignIntelligence’s Top 10 programs nationwide for Construction Methods & Materials and in their Top 10 programs nationwide for Sustainable Design Practices & Principles. Architectural firms describe our students as excellent designers that also have a comprehensive knowledge of building systems.

ADMISSION Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch)

The Bachelor of Architecture degree is offered in a five-year curriculum with focus on the design laboratory. The studio sequence consists of four segments: a three-year basic core, three quarters of topic studios, an urban design studio, and a two-quarter long culminating senior project. Lecture classes in architecture theory and history, human behavior, professional practice, programming, sustainability, building technology, structures, codes, and digital media are closely coordinated with the studio sequence, and students are expected to demonstrate their knowledge of these areas in their design projects. The undergraduate program in the Department of Architecture is considered to be “impacted,” that is, many more students apply than can be accommodated each year. All candidates must meet regular University admission standards, as well as additional standards required by the Department of Architecture, such as a 3.2 minimum GPA for transfer students. For further information about University requirements for “impacted” programs, please refer to the University website for Freshmen and for transfer students. As a result of state impaction requirements, applications are usually only accepted from October 1 through November 30 for the following academic year; only a small number of non-resident and foreign students are admitted to the B.Arch program. In accordance with University policies for student affirmative action, women, minorities, and disabled persons are especially encouraged to apply.

117

Master of Architecture (M.Arch)

The Master of Architecture program accepts students from varied academic backgrounds, including non-design disciplines. Applicants are admitted conditionally, subject to completion of up to 100 prerequisite units, before beginning the final 52 units of the program. For students with no previous study in architecture, two years of intensive prerequisite course work precedes the final three quarters of the Master of Architecture program. Students holding a nonprofessional Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science degree, with a major in architecture, may be able to complete the required prerequisite course work in one year, before beginning the final four quarters, or 52 units, of the Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program. Students in the M.Arch. I program may select one of three concentrations: Sustainability, Healthcare, or Historic Preservation. In addition to offering specialized courses, faculty conduct research in which graduate students may participate. The programs are enhanced by related course offerings in the Departments of Landscape Architecture and Urban and Regional Planning, as well as by university-owned facilities, including the Neutra VDL Research House, the John T. Lyle Center for Regenerative Studies, and the ENV Archives Special Collections. For admission to the Master of Architecture program, an applicant must have received a baccalaureate degree and have attained an overall undergraduate grade point average of at least 3.0. An applicant who does not meet these criteria may be admitted on a conditional basis if evidence of compensating qualifications can be furnished. Students may enter the Master of Architecture program in the fall quarter/semeter only. The Graduate Program accepts non-resident and foreign students.

118

Master of Interior Architecture

The Department of Architecture offers a program of study that leads to the degree Master of Interior Architecture. The Master of Interior Architecture is a professional degree (M. INT. ARCH.) and is accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation. The primary goal for the Master of Interior Architecture program is to provide an opportunity for individuals with a minimum of a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree to pursue a rigorous program of part-time study that prepares them to enter the field of interior design, incorporating the highest standards of professional practice. The program particularly serves career-change students seeking to fulfill a lifelong dream of becoming interior design professionals. This program is offered collaboratively by Cal Poly Pomona and UCLA Extension. At Cal Poly Pomona, the program is offered through the College of the Extended University. Most of the classes are taught at UCLA Extension facilities in Westwood in Los Angeles.
