THE 24 H LIBRARY
When faced with the challenge to build a library which spans across the
LA river, which has been taken over by the large homeless population. As a result, we wanted to redefine the word library, from a place where people can come to read, web search, to a place where aside all of those social interaction remain as 24 hours library for the community. Into a sanctuary for learning, through providing physical books, E book, Interactive projection technology, music rooms, auditoriums study rooms, and digital fabrication labs. Having this entire program shoved into one building was the next challenge we faced. To define a building which by itself considers the social supervision as the main consideration for organizing spaces, we used the idea of passage and cracking our geometry from its center. Inspired by Picasso Portrait of Art Dealer Amboise Vollard, we have used site available axis to develop this crack. Developing is central we are attempting to organize the program in a way that provided the sense of unity as well as vast range of special qualities as you circulate through the building.

House And Housing - Mark Owen
- course description : Through a critical analysis and comparison of the historical, contemporary, and multi-cultural evolution of house and housing, the studio addresses form and meaning of the dwelling with a discussion that juxtaposes interior vs. exterior space, public vs. private space, community vs. the individual, and traditional vs. non-traditional families. The studio focus is divided between the single-family dwelling and multiple-unit housing typologies. The course includes a sustainable materials and systems component that includes lectures and written research assignments.

Site study
decade of the 20th century, in the ear of silent movies, Edendale was widely known as the home of most major movies studios on the West Coast. Amongits many claims, it was home to the Keystone Kops, and the site of manymovie firsts, including Charlie Chapline’s first movie, the first feature-lengthcomedy, and the first pie-in-the-face. The Edendale movie studios were mostlyconcentrated in a four-block stretch of Allesandro Street, between Berkeley Ave and Duane st. Allesandro St was later renamed Glendale blvd (and a smaller nearby street took on the name Allesandro).

Design
Massing The building is conceptually designed to pay respect to the past rich
history of the Edandale neighborhood (Sunset blvd with Alvrado blvd) , by layering three slabs of varying sizes of apartment units. The neighborhood is an ideal location for the conditions of the concept. It is comprised of three principles; inside and outside, private versus public, as well as how light works within the building. The circulation is primarily performed through the three towers that are holding the slabs up vertically to be rising from the ground and also providing opportunities for horizontally traveling through the building. The reason for implementing these three principles is because the neighborhood is very busy and active which allows the elevated building to be separated from 18
the ground, resulting in a more private space above.

Site Orders - Mark Ericson
- course description : Natural and urban site orders are explored and analyzed using writing, photography, mapping and sectional studies to develop site planning and building and design with a special emphasis given to the relationship between program and external context. Projects focus on influences of adjacencies and environment, through the development of clear systems of movement, space, structure, energy efficiency and daylight.

Pleating is to fold (something flexible and relatively flat) over on itself so that one part of it covers another or arranges a fold of definite. First the original contours were manipulated using the pleating strategy creating a certain geometry. Then the contours were re-manipulated in a way to enhance the role of the building’s exterior by extending the interior to give the space more depth. The topography provides an open-air swimming pool and an indoor basketball court. The park allows and encourages sport, from walking to running, biking, skating and a series of performance and relaxation areas through a network of paths or activity zones. N

Program And Space - Mark Stanly
- course description : “An in-depth analytical study is made of everyday domestic, work and recreational rituals through written research and case study with an emphasis on spatial accommodation of program through materiality, finish, structure and form. Projects set in limited contexts emphasize the influence of internally driven relationships, with a special focus on hybrid programming.�
From analyzing a few artworks of the Barry Lowen Collection, the main geometry pulled
out was the idea of how things are shifted on a vertical and horizontal grid. Developing from this concept, a repetition of cubes was explored to investigate different spatial orientations. Manipulation of these cubes was created by changing the orientation to create a system of circulation. Shifting the cubes on a grid lead to spaces at different levels that are still connected to one another to give an opportunity to the occupants to experience many views at the same time.

- course description : Each major material - wood, masonry, steel, concrete and glass - is placed within a fundamental context of physical properties, historical evolution, structural behavior, sustainable design, contemporary methods of construction and detailing, building envelope systems, and new and future products. Their influence on design with respect to durability, building cost, life-cycle cost, and scheduling is evaluated.

- course description : Various drawing skills used in two- and three-dimensional methods and media of representation are introduced. Methods of perception, technique, composition, critical evaluation and presentation are studied through representational assignments. Emphasis is placed on orthographic projection and documentation and constructed hard line drawing techniques.
VARIABLE DRAWING The drawing consist of 50, 14” lines (each with a series of spaced,rotated, and graduated serial lines). There were specific rules to consider such as : rotations cannot exceed 10 degrees, your spacing cannot exceed 3/4”, and the length of your lines cannot exceed 1”. Each 14” line must have a minimum of 18 serial lines along it. 35 of lines will be solid, and 15 will be dashed. Dashed lines, and their spacing must be measured. All lines must fall with the 16” bounding box. This Type of drawing is meant as an exploration to introduce the construction of line work.
