The project is a new, phased mixeduse development in the City of Chicago at the intersection of N. Dearborn Street and W. Illinois Street. The project includes construction of a new fire station, demolition of the old fire station, and construction of a new mixed-use, high-rise building. The new fire station is an adaptation of the City’s current prototype program for a dense, downtown Chicago setting. To accommodate site constraints and minimize operational interruptions, the fire station program is stacked vertically on the site, with a mixed use high-rise building above it. Core values, important to the City, end users, and operators of the facility, will remain a key component of the development for the fire station and include longevity, resiliency, low-maintenance systems/materials, sustainability, and responsible life-cycle costs for the building materials and systems. Also critical to the success of the project is zero interruptions to the ongoing operations of the existing fire station on the site.

Solar arrays on the top of the north and south buildings will power the whole site.
The HV/AC system is largely underfloor for the office and the residences and the atrium’s will be conditioned by forced air.
Walls of the buildings are R-40 for optimum thermal breaking from the exterior. The glass walls are double paned argon filled allowing the sin exposure to be reduced.
The floors of the building are built from concrete decking over a metal deck. The floor space is largely optimized to allow for air flow and sunlight penetration for better work and living environments.
The structure of the building is steel I beams. The hierarchy of structure features a 30 foot bay pattern and this allows for optimum renting and layout space for the clients renting the space. The structure extends all the way down to the ground through the concrete parking structure.

The wooden rain screen facade operates in 30� panels gliding along track channels. The screens can operate individually between their fully closed and fully open position to maximize views or encourage total privacy along Central Avenue or 17th Street. This facade serves to activate Central Avenue through an active and kinetic screen system fully controlled by the occupants of the building. The further brick facade of Level 1 allows the building to be grounded and to relate further to the human scale.

Project Narrative The Crossroads Community Center will serve as the cultural hub and catalyst for the arts and educational engagement within the Kansas City Crossroads District. The building is located at the corner of W 21st St and Wyandotte St just north of Union Station and south of Southwest Blvd. The building features an auditorium, office spaces, underground parking, meeting rooms, multi-purpose flexible space, and outdoor plaza zones to allow the community to begin to engage within the building and on the site. South of Southwest Blvd, the Crossroads District severely lacks a central civic, public space (for example the Power and Light District) in which the community can rally behind and gather around. This provision of community space and professional performance within the southern Crossroads will provide the necessary space for urban renewal and community integration uniting the Crown Center and Union Station areas to the revitalized Kauffman Center Crossroads area. Because of it’s unique location, the Crossroads Community Center focuses on maximizing the views to the Kansas City skyline through the elevation of the auditorium above the functional zone of the building. By floating the auditorium it is able to become the central focus of the building - additionally highlighted by being clad in a wood veneer. This optimizes the amount of the site which can then be utilized for public gatherings including farmers marketings, outdoor performances and gatherings, and various community events.

This idea of framing the skyline embodied itself in a vertically-oriented building design. Seen to the right, I began experimenting with how the physical design of the building could not only frame Kansas City but also incorporate public spaces and public plazas. The elevated auditorium at the peak of the building became the focal point of the design. Highlighted in wood, this space emphasized itself through a physical and material separation from the rest of the building program.

Auditorium Rendering
The building design finalized in a wood-clad glass auditorium hovering above the public plaza space. This auditorium, as seen in the rendering above, highlights the views of the Kansas City skyline and other cultural institutions through the double-skin glass facade. Incorporation of wooden louvers and natural ventilation allows the building to help to passively cool and ventilate the space. Acoustical drop-down clouds, offset angled glass panes, and operable curtains additionally help to provide methods of acoustical control and variation in the space designed to be flexible with its performances. Envisioned to host TED Talks, small musical performances and lectures, the space was designed to be informal, intimate, and flexible.

The presence of the river along the site seemed like an under-celebrated aspect of Manhattan’s current development schemes, which have an opportunity to nuance and craft a narrative around its history and impact on the surrounding environs.
The two structural towers in our explorative bridge concept used indigenous vernacular architectural forms as a form of emphasis upon the Kaw-Pawnee history and used structure to unite vestiges of the past in a public walkway.
Conditions of both flood risk and potential for wetlands to influence develpment around the site inspired an idea about created walkable paths regardless of water levels. This also helps to rebuild the infrastructure of the pathway nodes along the levee’s primary access points.
Flood history played a distinct role in telling us more about the implications about developing a potentially volatile site. Creating a more robust, yet adatpable plan for its pathways involve initiating multiple strategic development solutions.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT The relocation of industrial facilities augments land value along the Big Blue river. This relocation allows for the optimization of land value tax generation through commercial businesses and additional civic infrastructure. The sustained zone of industry and expansion of commercial zoning results in a highly stable and long-term economic progression of Manhattan.

Natural limestone and modernized-representation of vernacular forms provide for bike rental facilities, new economic development and open park space.

SOCIAL EQUITY The demand for affordable housing around and below the poverty line is addressed through the generation of 4% LITCH-based housing units. These units, integrated within the larger mixed-income and live-work community create the opportunity for community involvement and communal integration.
