LMU SCIENCE BLDG Frank R. Seaver College of Science and Engineering Loyola Marymount University 1 Loyola Marymount University Drive Los Angeles, CA Showcased at Interim Design Exhibit
The LMU Science Building is a proposal for existing renovations for the campus. Science is usually hidden behind closed doors, privy only to those in the profession. Today science is expanding into other disciplines, connecting with a broader range of people. To help facilitate this, science should make itself visible to the public.
The concept is to invite the student body to explore science and introduce a space for intellectual exchanges. A technique used to start revealing science to the public was through carving pieces of the usually imposing block building to expose the inside of the labs. With the remainder of the tower exposing the labs inside the building, the supporting labs, storage, MEP, offices and circulation are pushed to an interior core. The main structure of the tower is centered around the core that runs the length and height of the building, housing the MEP, storage and support labs.

TYPICAL FLOOR PLAN
Taking the idea of creating connections between science and the public, we enhanced interconnectivity by offsetting the two-story labs. By offsetting the labs and giving them double height ceilings, interstitial floors are created. On the mezzanine floors, offices, conference rooms, study, and lounging areas are provided with views and visual connections to the labs below. The relationship between the lab and its interstitial floor reveal science and provides the labs with ample amounts of natural light. When the fractured pieces are removed from the tower and placed onto the field, terraces are formed from the voids left. The terraces provides outdoor spaces for people working in the tower and views into the labs as well as the field below.
MT. BALDY TOWER Personal Residence Mt. Baldy, CA Showcased at Interim Design Exhibit
A private single person 600 sq. ft. residence on a secluded hillside facing a valley on Mt. Baldy. The residence consists of three floors with almost no interior walls. The floors separate the different functions and are connected by an interior spiral staircase along the outer edges. The floors are detached from the exterior shell, creating a circular opening between the floors and the exterior shell that is used for the stair circulation. The basic shape is a spiraling oval that twists and turns giving a 360 degree view, showcasing the beautiful nature surrounding the tower.

WESTERN PRIMARY Cahuenga Elementary School Korea Town Western and Second Los Angeles, CA
Cahuenga Elementary School is located in Korea Town in Los Angeles along a major urban street, Western Ave. The learning philosophy lead the design of the school, allowing the children have the opportunity to learn at their own pace and style instead of being restricted to this strict guideline of material and standardized testing. The site is laid out on a grid, while the classrooms break free of the grid and wrap around the site with flexibility. This creates a safe environment for the children to learn and make it easier for faculty to watch over them. Courtyards are created in the voids of the grid and the curves. This creates the play areas for the children without having to use fences.

A Pollinating Skeletal Skin
Temple Avenue Pomona, CA Awarded First Place by Coreslab Inc. Exhibited at 2X8 AIALA 2010 Showcased at Interim Design Exhibit Sponsored by Coreslab Inc.
The Pomona Precast Train Station is a proposed Metro stop along the existing Riverside Metrolink Line. This station would be used by the local residents as well as the thousands of students that are enrolled in Cal Poly Pomona, Mt. SAC, and Devry Universities. The use of precast concrete pieces throughout the station helps keep the cost of construction down along with creating a permanent, long lasting structure. The station is designed using eleven precast concrete pieces to construct the walls and floor, including a beam designed to support the structure. The precast pieces and the construction were consulted on by engineers of Coreslab Structures leading to the design being constructible as well as redesigning the conventional ideas of what precast concrete pieces can be.

SCRAP
Satellite Capturing, Remediation and Processor Lower Earth Orbit (LEO) Earth, Solar System, Milky Way Showcased at Interim Design Exhibit
As space junk orbiting Earth grows exponentially, it is only a matter of time before catastrophes arise. SCRAP offers one solution to assist with beginning to clean Lower Earth Orbit. SCRAP is in itself an orbiting satellite that captures debris and defunct satellites that cross its path. The space junk is then broken down for raw materials and then used to grow SCRAP
into a larger satellite. The larger SCRAP grows, the larger junk it is capable of collecting and the more visitors it can hold. To make SCRAP even more economically viable, hotel rooms and labs will be available for rent to the public and countries of the world that do not currently have a space station.
Space Junk Orbital debris experts explain that even with an immediate halt of launch activities, nations will be dealing with an unstable low-Earth orbit environment. In 2007, a New Zealand Airline plane narrowly missed flaming space junk falling into Earth's atmosphere. Not only is the junk a problem here on Earth, but some altitudes and bands already have critical mass concentrations that will trigger "collisional cascading". Without removal, the experts are looking at 20 catastrophic collisions within the next 200 years. All of these collisions lead to an exponential growth in debris, only worsening the problem. It is believed that if no action is taken it could get so bad that the LEO will become so dense that it will become impassable- rendering space exploration and the use of satellites unfeasible for generations. Around 20,000 trackable items (3in and larger) Millions possibly billions of untraceable items less than 3 inches in size Defunct satellites total over 6,000 tons
Space junk includes: -Defunct satellites -Aluminum -Rocket bodies-boosters -Titanium -Steel -Paint chips -Screws Garbage-few lost tools, a camera, and even a glove meteroids-dust, ice, etc
Countries/companies could pay to have their defunct satellites removed from orbit
Ship raw materials instead of fabricated parts

Recycle materials from satellites and debris to add onto the station

Economic Viability
Power supplies >
The recycling program will help boost the station economically by recycling thousands of pounds of materials in space; this material can be used for free to add on to the station. Other space stations and rockets could pay a fee to have their flight path cleaned before they enter it, to ensure there will be no collision with space debris. Countries could pay for the station to remove their defunct satellites so they do not cause damage to any other property. In a section of Space Laws, enforced by the United Nations, every country is responsible for the damage that their satellites causes to any other countries property, even if they no longer have control over it.
