san francisco civic center plaza This project is located in San Francisco’s civic center plaza. The premise was to take what was previously the city’s underground storage unit (Brooke’s Hall) and re-purpose the space with a project and program that would re-invigorate the plaza. Surrounded by other various civic programs like the Library, a museum, and City Hall, the location is an opportune area to create a lively and central space for civic engagement. Requirements of the project included, a public bathroom portion of the program, that allowed free and accessible use to toilets, showers, and hygiene stations, and a 15’ height above ground max allowance.
project concept Just as Civic Center serves as the middle ground for surrounding districts, Brook’s Hall will act as the middle ground for surrounding civic spaces. The project will operate both as a complement to other civic programs, and as a binding agent that holds and blends programs and people together. Through flexible space the project will help to serve the community’s recreation health and cultural needs, both above and below.

site plan The ground level includes 3 main entrances, allowing access to below from all across the site. This also includes access to a public toilet and information desk. Users also have the ability to occupy the roof, which combines and blends hard paved surfaces, with green space. Built in benches and shading from trees encourage users to sit and relax, while open lawn space provides opportunity for sports and activities.

floor 1 Much of the space is made to be as flexible as possible, with open seating and court space for users to occupy as they please. Smaller studios and classrooms can serve the needs of programs from the Library and museum, like different art classes, or book discussions. In the gym portion of the project, there is both open gym space, locker and changing rooms, and studio spaces for yoga, aerobics classes etc. The larger banquet/exhibition space can be used for special events, or a reception space for wedding parties from City Hall. The flexible seating can also be converted into smaller performance venues, as a complement to the larger performance hall, Bill Graham. And finally, the large flexible court space can act both as a programmed or unprogrammed space, depending on users needs.
elevations and sections The sinusoidal shape of the project’s north and south sides allows for simultaneous access to the occupiable roof, and to programmed spaces below. However, from the east and west, the curvature of the roof disappears, and wedges of long glazing allows light to enter the space below. The floor both follows the curvature of the roof, as you enter and move into the main space, then curves in the opposite direction to create double height spaces in areas like the performance stages.

section perspective While studio spaces are fully enclosed, they remain visually transparent, allowing users to see the activity that is taking place all around them. Users from below can even look above through skylights, made from removing portions of the roof beams to create skylights, and allow light below. On the occupiable roof, the slight stepping of pavers create benches, for people to occupy.
flexible seating space Flexible seating and open space allows users to occupy the space as they please. Whether its working on their computer, or reading a book, or just taking a moment of rest. In either case, they have the opportunity to engage with and see what other fellow citizens are doing in the civic center, from exercise classes, to art classes or book clubs. Both programmed and unprogrammed space work together to create a buzzing civic environment below ground.
flexible court space Again, the large flexible court space can function both as an unprogrammed or programmed space. Whether it is for individual use, a game of jump rope, or juggling, or maybe to stretch after a yoga class. Or for larger gatherings like a protest, voting, or pop up clinics. This space aims to serve whatever program need the civic center might require.

2_paradise health and innovation center
paradise health and innovation center This project will serve as a biomedical research facility that also includes opportunities for higher education within the field. The hope is that this project will provide a space for innovation in the health industry and educational outreach programs. The laboratory portion of the project will be dedicated to understanding the health effects of fire. The building will attract younger generations while also giving opportunities for residents to participate and learn about smaller-scale biomedical research. Because of the health and education combination, it will bring in more health professionals which may also spur economic growth within the medical community in Paradise.
project users Because the project has an education portion and a research component, it will serve a large variety of people. One main group of people will be students. Our project is cited adjacent to the Butte Community College extension campus. Students from this college will have the ability to take classes and aid in research at the research center. There will also be various medical professionals who will teach and conduct research in the laboratories. The general public will also be able to utilize the pharmacy, “grab and go� cafe, open courtyard, and demonstration lab. General public users will also be able to attend lectures on health and safety after the Camp Fire. And in case of any emergency, flexible space will function for pop up medical clinics and storage for supplies, for the residents of Paradise.

Patient Care
medical campus The project is sited within the scope of a larger medical campus, that could be built in phases as Paradise begins to recover. It is made up of a balanced mix of patient care, research, and education programs, that creates a cohesive and successful neighborhood. It also includes public parking and open green space for users to utilize. The campus is cited across from the proposed downtown, where there will be the highest density of people, and adjacent to Skyway Rd., for easy travel for emergency vehicles. Before the fire, Paradise was known for the great health care providers and hospitals. A new centralized medical campus can build upon and re-invigorate that reputation. The medical campus will also spur economic growth and resiliency within the town, as medical professionals move to Paradise. It will also serve current Paradise residents, who on average are older and need easy access to health care. Because of Paradise’s proximity to Chico State and Butte College, the medical campus could offer classes and learning opportunities for students interested in the health care industry, encouraging younger generations to move to Paradise. Paradise is also surrounded by smaller towns like Magalia, who could utilize the facilities and services offered at the medical campus.

project program The project in its most basic form is comprised of two programmatic bars, one of laboratories and the other filled with classrooms. The HVAC, lighting, and climactic needs of each programmatic bar helped to dictate locations of classrooms vs. laboratories. The classroom “bar� is furthest from the downtown, to encourage those coming to learn from downtown to cross through the entirety of the building and the lobby spaces. The laboratories bar is furthest from the medical campus, which forces medical professionals to cross through the back entrance on the second floor, and into the courtyard. By flipping the placement of the bars, it connects the two main user groups and activates the center of the project with people and circulation

The most public spaces are located on the ground floor for convenience, and to create a welcoming and open first floor to encourage curious users to explore the space. Circulation moves around and across the courtyard connecting the two bars of program.
site plan The Health and innovation center is located at the southern end of the medical campus, between Almond St and Fir St. It is surrounded by a planned Butte College extension campus, patient care and research facilities, a Wellness and Safety center, and the proposed downtown. All of which feed into and interact with the project. The public cafe spills out to the south west end of the site, activating the corner, and encouraging users to enter and explore the space.

transverse sections Sectionally, the project uses large windows on the north side, for even daylight in the classroom spaces. The classrooms also use raised floor natural ventilation, capitalizing on primary winds from the north east, combined with radiant floor heating. Hot air is exhausted through a large chimney stack which the stairs attach to. On the south side, laboratories receive daylight through punched openings with shading devices. The higher mechanical load from the labs requires an active air system, with radiant floor heating. Ducts are located above lab support spaces, where ceiling heights can be lower. A second large chimney stack exhausts air from the lab spaces. Solar panels are located on the north roof, above the classrooms, to create a sustainable energy source for the project. A green roof is used above the lab spaces to help with storm water runoff.

Section Two
longitudinal sections An underground water catchment basin is located beneath the open courtyard space in the center, to offset water needs in the building. The courtyard is surrounded by visually transparent circulation routes, including two that bridge above the space, so that users can see others moving through out the project. Occupiable roof decks are located on the third and fourth floor for user enjoyment.

eui performance The project integrates and utilizes environmental design practices through out. Building placement and orientation, strategic glazing with shading, material and envelope choice, passive and active HVAC systems used, and the implementation of solar panels, all help to create an efficient space. The projects EUI (energy use intensity) was reduced from the ASHRAE 90.1 standard of 63.8 to 16 (kBtu/sq ft/yr). This will not only help to offset the day to day costs of the building but will also help with long term resiliency as well, since the project will be mostly self sustaining. When needed it will rely on the energy produced from the anaerobic digester in the proposed public market, to offset energy needs.

Cross Laminated Timber With a history in the timber industry, and close access to the raw material, Paradise makes for a great location to use cross laminated timber. The structural capacities of the material are nearly that of steel, with the added benefits of a more sustainable material, which sequesters carbon, and remains structurally stable in fires because of a natural char layer. The warmth and aesthetic of the material also match that of the local vernacular of Paradise. And since the project program pertains to medical advancements and the human body, including cells, we chose to utilize CLT, a cellular material in and of itself. CLT beams, columns, floors and walls, are used through out the entirety of the project.

Terra cotta baguette (in sun screen system)
Low-e IGU curtain wall
The sun screen system wraps and encloses all of the circulation in the project. Patterning and a varying degree of porosity based on spacing, allows for different levels of visual access. Again, continuing with the cellular theme, the terra cotta baguettes are broken up into cells of sun shading, supported by a steel structure.
A curtain wall sits behind and works in conjunction with the terra cotta sun screen. High performing glazing keeps the envelope tight and circulation enclosed, without sacrificing site lines and still allowing for users to feel as if they were outdoors as they circulate through the project.
south elevation The south side of the project incorporates glazing that is shaded by corian fins. The shading’s sizing is optimized to let in sun during the cool winter months, and heat interior spaces, while blocking out unwanted summer sun. The cafe and lobby are majority glazed, to allow site lines through the building from the street, and create a welcoming entrance for users.
north elevation Large areas of glazing make up the composition of the north facade, in order to allow daylight into the classroom spaces. No shading is necessary, besides the few choice corner windows that wrap around the building. A perforated screen at the floor plates allows the building to utilize raised floor natural ventilation.
east elevation Choice glazing to allow for some daylight and views out of spaces is used on the east side. Shading devices surround the glazing to block out unwanted sun.
west elevation Minimal glazing is used on the west side, to protect from harsh western light. Upper level circulation and bridges are enclosed in glazing and a terra cotta sun screen.

collaborative work space These spaces are open work spaces, to inspire collaboration and user interaction. They are placed through out the project and provide intermediary spaces between fully programmed labs and classrooms. Whether users are working on research projects, or just need a place to sit, these rooms are meant to flexibly serve user’s needs.

courtyard This courtyard is meant to encourage collaboration between the two bars of program. It will be activated by the grab and go cafe, pharmacy, library, and demonstration lab. The courtyard will be filled with seating for users, and has the potential to serve as a venue for concerts or other events. Visually transparent circulation moves around and above the courtyard, adding further interest to the space.

health and wellness center A predecessor to the Health Research and Innovation center, the goal of this project was to create a space that encourages whole wellness and is a valued healing resource to the Town of Paradise. It will provide comprehensive, varied, and holistic health care, that blends conventional medicine with new innovative treatments and counseling services. The wellness center would focus on the educational and preventative aspects of health, not only for users but also for staff by providing research and work opportunities for professionals and students near by. Overall the goal of this project was to create a space that would be able to aid Paradise in its healing process.

project users Those looking for spiritual and emotional healing As residents of Paradise begin to recover and recognize the trauma they went through during the Camp Fire, many are now in search of emotional and spiritual guidance. The hope was that the Wellness center would provide a place with the resources and spaces for this type of healthcare. From one on one counseling sessions, to support group meeting, to private meditation or yoga, this project hoped to encourage mindfulness and spiritual and emotional healing. Those who want to improve their comprehensive health This portion refer to users who want to better their overall health. They would not go to the wellness center for a specific ailment or concern, but instead to learn more about whole wellness. They might want to take a nutrition class, participate in a meditation session, or fill up on vitamins and prescriptions. For these users the wellness center would fill in the gaps of healthcare that a hospital does not provide. It would focus on preventative health care method by ensuring a sustained healthy lifestyle. Those in search of specialized preventative care For these users, the wellness center will serve as a place where they can seek holistic treatment and diagnosis for a specific ailment or concern. Perhaps a patient has chronic back pain, they could go to the wellness center to meet with a chronic pain therapist. Or say a person is feeling lethargic, they could visit with an internist to see what preventative method they would recommend. Those who want to learn and work in the healthcare industry This group refers to providers more so than users, Specifically, nursing students, psychology, pharmacist, or public health students at Chico State and Butte college, who are looking for real world experience, and are interest in learning about health care outside of a hospital. The wellness center would attract young professionals to learn and work in Paradise, and contribute valuable experience to their education.
