3 SITE DISCONNECTS PARK & NEIGHBORHOOD

Through out the site, American chain stores and their Mexican equivalents alter cultural behaviors of the locals. The site includes the big box stores: Walmart, Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club, Costco, Home Depot, Best Buy, Surburbia, Sears, Soriana and Mega. In addition, two shopping malls, two strip malls, small offices, banks and fast food restaurants inhabit the site. Parking spaces take up 145,000m2 of the 300,000m2 which proves inconsistent to a city where only 36.5% of families own a vehicle.

The site proposed for this thesis lies on two sides of an infrastructural boundary (elevated roadway). This boundary signifies the edge of the city. Beyond the roadway, suburbs and new developments sporadically appear in clusters. The infrastructural obstruction acts as a gate, allowing passage only for a few instances and primarily in favor of automotive transport.

Big Box Store

To the south of the site is the cities largest park which includes museums, amphitheaters, a runway for small aircraft, an artificial lake, bike and jogging paths, and sports fields. The park ranks second in largest urban park in all of Mexico. Despite the large density of residents surrounding the park, pedestrian access happens only where vehicular access already exists. The park attracts development around its perimeter making it one of the few multi-use nodes outside of the city center.

STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS

BASIC ELEMENTS - PARKING

The material make up of the structural array deployed throughout the site consists of all steel components. The use of steel construction in San Luis PotosĂ began to rise in the 70â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when car manufacturers and other technical industries arrived to the city. The use of custom trusses accommodates long spans and cross-bracing in the x & y-axis provide rigidity to the assembly.

An adapted variation of the sites structure replaces existing big-box shelving systems. The new systems couple storage with structure in an attempt to rethink standard big-box construction. By allowing the storage system to rise, the exterior shell of the building can rely on it for structural integrity rather than use stand alone columns, beams and shelving.

Another adaptation of the structure provides vehicular storage through an automated parking system. The system includes the ability to attach surfaces much like the original system. These structures become hubs for leaving and arriving. In addition they allow for signage for traveling and availability of parking, power generation (through solar arrays), and advertisement.

In addition to structural support, the assembly also allocates space for the various building systems such as lighting, MEP, vertical circulation, shelving, and storage.

HOUSE IN THE PARK ARCH 3500 | Fall 2013

PROJECT TYPE/ RESEARCH & OFFICE LOCATION/ HOUSTON, TX SIZE/ 100,000 ft2 PROFESSOR/ THOMAS COLBERT Research Center As Houston continues to grow, its history becomes more important to protect. The Center for Historical Documents provides a place for Houstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history to be displayed and preserved. The Center also acts as the offices for the Heritage Society and as the entrance for Sam Houston Park. The buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house form acts as a symbol for the park known for its historically significant homes. A cafe, auditorium, and lobby share the first floor to encourage social interactions as well a provide more options for those passing through. On the second floor, research areas, offices and a public exhibit allow public and private functions to intermingle. The third floor holds the private research area and the secured vault. The roof terrace is open for the public to view out onto Sam Houston Park.

PROJECT TYPE/ URBAN PLAN LOCATION/ GALVESTON, TX PROFESSORS/ THOMAS COLBERT, WILLIAM TRUITT Galveston Reimagined The Island Loop connects Galveston’s most trafficked areas as well as provide alternate evacuation routes in times of disaster. Important tourist nodes such as Moody Gardens and Schlitterbahn Water Park find themselves disconnected from primary streets, which causes disruptions in local circulation flows. Moody and Schlitterbahn make up nearly one-third of the island’s total visits, but the access to these amenities requires traversing through commercial districts and residential neighborhoods. In many tourist cities, this causes resource conflicts between locals and tourists which incites resentment towards the visitors. In the event of a disaster, Galveston lacks adequate protection or means of evacuation. During Hurricane Ike, the island suffered from exposure to Galveston Bay surges which flooded the “back-side” of the island. Evacuation proved to be a disaster for locals who spent up to 40 hours in their vehicles before arriving to safe areas. West-enders were the most effected by evacuation efforts because of their position at the “back of the line” which is caused by the lack of major infrastructure connecting the west-end to I-45. The Island Loop looks to connect Galveston more effectively, creating more efficient means of evacuation and increased disaster protection through an integrated levee system.

Waterfront Master Plan This proposal looks to provide diverse urban functions and connections to the detached elements which contain meaningful roles in Galveston. A system of loops explores spaces of movement and action which provide the means for reaching the destinations. Green linkages articulate the protective levee apex, while coupling urban functions and opportunities for ecology, recreation, and social interaction.
