RAILYARD LIVE-WORK-PLAY URBAN INFILL -CAPSTONE PROJECT
Champaign, IL
RAILYARD OFFICE - CONDOMINIUM Illinois Central Freight Yard - CHAMPAIGN, IL
The chosen site has a unique history behind, although it is used as no more than a parking lot now-a-days. The site had been called Freight Yard, and it portrays the prominent foundation of the City of Champaign development since 1909, engulfing the wilderness with such active lumber industry development. The Illinois Central round house, machine shop and turntable built in 1911 added on even more drastic development of the city. However, the Roundhouse was removed along with the fire that destroyed the Alexander Lumber Building. Now a water tower and Illinois Central Freight Depot remain on the site. To highlight the innovation of the city through the development of the rail yard, the intervention proposed will surely activate the site with such deep historical nuance, educating the visitors and residents while providing well-developed green space within the downtown area. The site is also placed in between Highly dense residential area and commercial region; therefore, incorporating the Rail Yard Park will perform as an inter-mingle space where residents interact more actively with the small businesses in the downtown area, while employees in the downtown will be exposed to the natural environment outside of their work as we as historical context of the site. The intervention includes Rail Yard Park with the historical monuments or sculptures made with the existing rails since 1900s along with the water tower on site; Gallery along the Remaining tracks (that are not used currently) for education purpose; Commercial-Residential building on the south of the park to activate the business circulation in Champaign; Tunnel developed underneath the trail that crosses between Champaign commercial district and residential zone; Crosswalk from the west entrance of the park to the parking lot across in consideration of the traffic/circulation route of the visitors.

The tracks have been removed from both the north and south sides of the building
The building was eventually purchased by the Kuhn family and incorporated into the store, and the store is marked 150 years of business in 2015. The upper floor is vacant Today. However, the building exists today as it has since the first brick was laid. The support structure for the old water tower still remains on the site.

SITE ANALYSIS DIAGRAMS
CAMPUS HONORS PROGRAM FACILITY The site analysis diagrams illustrate the site as a prominent intersection of two busy streets with a core of various types of builings around: educational; commercial (restaurants); and residential. The new Campus Honors Program facility design proposal emphasizes the site context through the reflection of the North-East round curtain wall and an organized multi-purpose building plan. The three stories high round curtain wall not only reflects the brick, glass, and metal structure around the site -,while the building itself has a unique feature with those three building components,- but also the traffic and passerby, well portraying the site as a center of the two major axis. The curtain wall surrounds the two and a half stories high entertainment lounge; the transparancy of the glass boldy introduces the Honors Program to the outside for the intention of inclusive environment, and clearly demonstrate the interconnection. The transparent design, incorporated with curtain walls and skylights, also well collaborates multiple purposes of the facility: education, office, and rest/entertainment that are purposefully separated by the inner-courtyard and the spiral staircase.

STRUCTURAL EXPLODED-AXON
ARCH 352 - TA: JULIETTE
ARCHITECTURAL - STRUCTURAL DESIGN INTENT The slab was designed to maximize the load-bearing path while staying under the weight limit in addition to considering materiality and lighting (penetration) for the space beneath and above the slab. Our design was intended to maintain structural integrity with top and bottom reinforcements surrounding the honeycomb structure, which is a hollowed internal frame supported by incorporating triangulation of stiffening members. This composite honeycomb structure not only provides an efficient structural framing system, but also creates a unique flooring pattern above in consideration of the lighting penetration. Wood sticks are installed in three different directions to prevent sliding while maximizing the resistance finished with a binding perimeter wrapping around the whole. TOP REINFORCEMENT

Lift Lobby
Reception Located within a corporate park setting, this 25-story office building requires a lighting schematic that will highlight the noteworthy features of the faรงade and immediate area, from the double height main lobby to the interior building courtyard. By effectively using the interior lighting design, these unique features will be emphasized further and the overall user experience will be enhanced through an invitational plan accentuating the prominence of these spaces and the circulation in between. By taking a nominal approach to the integration of light within the preexisting structure, this lighting schematic seeks to highlight the designated program spaces and clearly guide users along paths of circulation. Building occupants will be lead forward due to the arrangement of the minimal fixture types. Beginning with the flood lights, can lights, and decorative suspended ellipse lights in the entrance lobby, users will be immediately welcomed into a well-lit atmosphere. Due to the abundance of light in this space, the occupants will be enticed to continue further inside the building. In the following hallway located directly ahead, a visual connection from the main lobby is established through the use of the wall strip lighting along the adjacent elevator vestibules. Continuing past the entrance space and the first area of circulation, the occupants will be guided by the recurring wall strip light element around the reception and indoor green courtyard, allowing them to take in the views of this interesting space amplified by the light.
Courtyard / Lobby
Beyond the actual lighting components, the subtleties of the chosen material palette address the needs of the program space; the marble floors and interior wood wall paneling add a level of visual texture while maintaining physical elegance necessary in a modern-day urban office environment. These materials coupled with the warmer interior lighting merge together to create a balanced and dynamic space. Overall, because the lighting design is incorporated directly with the program spaces and circulation, building occupants will feel a sense of invitation and unity as they transition from the outdoors to the offices.
