This project attempts to tackle the challenge of ‘Zero Energy’ through passive design strategies.

As urbanization and internal migration to existing cities has been on the increase, residential high-rise typology has become the norm in many countries. Although this typology has been used for almost a century, its energy performance has not evolved.

The repetitive approach driven by maximizing profit and relying mostly on machine-based conditioned space has led to generic and anonymous solutions that can be placed on any given site.

The twist also accommodates for the changing wind speeds from the lowest elevation to the highest. lower elevations have lower wind speeds which the building captures. At higher elevations with high wind speeds, the building runs parallel to wind direction.

Thermal breaks ensure that the heat collected on the concrete slab balconies, do not transfer into the unit.

1:2

Sound proof vents allow for cross ventilation to pass through partition walls and travel throughout the whole floor.

1:10

By seperating facade and structural wall, heat transfer from direct sun exposure will be decreased. Elevator shaft becomes a solar vent and releases heat upwards.

Module The module is constructed by the diameter of two circles that provide variation and control.

Partner: Connor Gravelle

Transformations

Aggregation The circular geometry of the surface allows for a single surface aggregation creating a continuous yet varied space.

This project is an exploration of the geometry of an aggregated surface module.

With this technique, the project aims to create a building of Ecology with multiple spatial types. The ability to create variations of modules and aggregations with a very controlled system, accommodates the diverse needs of structure and program within an academic setting.

Facade Order The underlying facade geometry of surrounding buildings, as well as notable precedents, help to organize the aggregation and its facade proportions.

Role: Project Leader

PROGRAM | Culture Tower:

CORE

The building houses studios for various disciplines, retail at ground level, an event terrace on the fifth level and restaurant / bar at the roof level; additionally two basements of parking space is provided. The program consists mainly of performance studios and event spaces, with supporting amenities throughout. A fundamental design goal is to effectively connect with the Warner Grand Theatre, both physically and conceptually. Physically, the program of the Warner Culture Tower seamlessly leads into the existing spaces of the theatre; visitors are able to move between the two directly. Conceptually, connecting a new aesthetic to the existing historic theatre is necessary; respecting and maintaining the theatre, while simultaneously invigorating it with a new design that elevates the functionality and presence towards the city.

SITE CONDITIONS |

Downtown San Pedro: Located in Downtown San Pedro, California, the site occupies a central corner along the 6th Street corridor, a commercial pedestrian oriented street. The lot is adjacent to the historic Warner Grand Theatre. Rich in history, the Warner Grand Theatre originally opened in 1931 and has been a visual staple for the community ever since. Its Art Deco style forges an commanding presence directly on 6th street. The Culture Tower’s site adjacent to the theater holds the corner of 6th Street and Pacific Avenue, a lending visual presence for the expansion of the theatre.

DESIGN INTENT | A Mute Icon: EXISTING THEATER ROOF

SECOND LEVEL

GROUND LEVEL

Responding to the brief of providing a culture tower in an existing formal context, the project aims to construct an authentic dichotomy image: one that can be confused for a strange civic building, too mute to be publicly engaged, but yet too eccentrically unusual to be privately used.

Governing the construction of this image is the problem of mass. A simple volume clad in tinted glass curtain wall is cut diagonally into a crystalline shape, therefore creating a more idiosyncratic silhouette. A horizontally subtracted terrace level slices the mass horizontally, separating them into two, and affords an elevated event space high enough to provide views of the surrounding city. The ground level is an open promenade that provides active retail space in addition to a main lobby for the new culture tower; small green spaces along 6th street provides the necessary distance to experience and engage the culture tower from the sidewalk, while not overwhelming the existing theater’s position.

Despite its significant corner presence, the project is decidedly one-sided, hinting to the importance of the existing Warner Grand Theatre and to its inherent ambivalence towards context. While the 6th Street facade is flat in glazed material, the one facing Pacific Avenue sports a recursively fuzzy metal mesh system over the glass curtain wall, adding a level of formal indeterminacy and aesthetic clouding to the building mass. This element protects the building from the south-west sun, while creeping up to the roof and doubling as a shading trellis for a much-needed outdoor space in the restaurant.
