IMMERSE

Problem There has become a disconnect between ocean research and ocean education. Aquariums in their early history were non profit marine science centers focused on education and conservation, places for the public and scientists both to experience and engage with the ocean’s beauty. Today aquariums have become living art displays, highly focusing on the public’s experience and entertainment rather than education and exploration.

Critical Position

The disconnect between research and the public resulted in aquariums changing into entertainment display’s, often at the cost of the sea animals. But why was there a disconnect?

Aquarium displays capture marine environments in a way that’s aesthetic, educational, and has scientific aims.

6

Thesis Statement

Scientific experiments and research call for a controlled environment. Since the ocean is filled with millions of variables, aquariums can recreate a specific eco-system providing an ideal environment for scientific research and beautiful displays of life for the public.

Creating an educational marine center will establish a reconnection between ocean research and public education resulting in a greater understanding of our oceans and facilitate conservation.

ENLIGHTEN EAST LOST ANGELOS COLLEGE- PHYSICS & EARTH SCIENCES BUILDING

PH: Lorem ipsum / Edited: Lorem ipsum / Written: Lorem ipsum

16

East Los Angeles College (ELAC) is a community college of the Los Angeles Community College District in the Los Angeles suburb of Monterey Park.

The design task was to create the new physics and earth sciences building. Our concept was to create a building that was apart of the eb and flow of the vibrant campus life. The split through the middle allows students to take a short cut to desired destinations, as well as acts as terraced lounge area’s for study breaks or lunch.

While the large wall in the courtyard also acts as a projector screen at night for presentations or recreation.

The circulation inside is intended to create a cross pollination between the two disicplins. Allowing them to see what others are doing, as well as having coffee area’s to be used by all students to exchange idea’s.

One of the design requests was to use a brick pattern in the building to tie it to other buildings on the campus. We decided to take a modernist approach and applied that brick pattern to the exterior skin. providing desired lighting levels during the day. and resulting in a beautiful glowing lantern at night.

REBUILD NEPAL Architecture Without Borders (Spring 2016) addressed the needs of the most vulnerable: those suffering from natural disaster, chronic under housing, poverty and other social and environmental issues.

This studio focused on village-scale design utilizing a real project in Nepal as our laboratory. As a group, we were introduced to the concepts of humanitarian architecture, sustainable site design, village-scale development, building with local materials, and the challenges and possibilities of working in areas of post-conflict, poverty or disaster.

This course introduced the utilization of local and natural materials in construction, including: earth, straw, stone, and recycled materials. Particular emphasis has been on hybrid construction techniques to improve traditional building techniques in seismic areas, as well as integrated site and building design addressing water, waste, food, and energy.

21

Rebuild Nepal

Project brief: Create a teacher training and demonstration center in the Panauti region near Nepal in association with Bishwa Seva, a San Diegobased non-profit dedicated to improving living conditions in Nepal. The program included: A training center (dorms, classrooms, and outdoor gathering space); a

22

shrine to Shiva; residential scale demonstration buildings to showcase seismically improved local building techniques; and site improvements including circulation, retaining walls, water catchment, energy production and landscaping and food production.

Constraints: 19,000 square foot property, steep (25%+ slope), materials to be locally available for a most Nepalis, any imported materials must be easily available and inexpensive. The project had to be culturally appropriate, inspiring and beautiful. It also had to collect water on site, produce as much

energy and food on-site as possible, and process waste on-site. The project also had to demonstrate sustainable and passive design principles.

And most importantly, it must demonstrate seismically resistant architecture and landscape design. Design period: 8 weeks.

PROJECT SUMMARY

Balboa Park East Village

Little Italy

The concept for this project was derived from the wants and needs of the students and community surrounding our school. After observations, self evaluating of my own wants and needs as well as talking to fellow classmates I found there were a few common factors that students felt were lacking. The main being student community. Within our studio’s we are very close with one another, but that’s about it. We noticed there is not much

Thesis concept 1 “The Shores”

The concept for “The Shores” was created by the observation of the similar geometry between the project’s site and the coastline. When looking at a map of La Jolla, the sandstone cliff coastline resembled the same curve of the road that passes around the selected site. La Jolla has an ecological reserve that contains four distinct ecosystems that creates a lush and biodiverse environment. After mapping the locations of these four ecosystems they were then overlaid onto the site plan. The result presented a starting point to laying out the program based on their natural locations. The shapes of the ecosystems were abstracted, then staggered into steps to fit the topography of the site. This lead to a massing that elegantly fits into the hillside as to not disrupt San Diego’s coastal scenic drive, as well as creates a series of three beaches that echo the experience of La Jolla shores from below. This concept t is intended to educated the public about the ocean and conservation with an emphasis on what is locally off our coast by creating a relationship with the program. This establishes a strong connection between the building, nature and what is being studied.

There are two entrances to the aquarium, one in the rocky reef area, the other the Sandy Flats. This is to reflect the two popular dive spots in La Jolla or where divers “Enter” the ocean. The circulation in this concept is very connected and free flowing. Giving users a “pick your own adventure” feel around the aquarium instead of a strict promenade that results in over crowded stuffy hallways. If you enter in the reef you can make your way to the Kelp Forest first, then hit the flats or vice versa. The main idea being that the entry for the shallows is sea level. The site being on a hill provides a perfect opportunity to represent depth, meaning the farther you walk down the site into

the building the “deeper” you go into the ocean.

40

Thesis concept 2 “The Pier”

The concept for “The Pier” came from La Jolla’s Marine Research landmark the Scripps Pier. Belonging to Scripps Institute of Oceanography, the pier is used for many things including dropping submersible subs off the end to explore the deep vast underwater canyons not far off the coast. The pier represents education, as well as mystery since it is closed to public use. This concept takes that pier and all the animals and ecosystems it studies and sets it into the hillside.

This concept has a more direct entry that submerges the user into the building. The entry would have a pool that’s flush with the ground containing the sea life from the sandy flats environment such as Leopard Sharks and stingrays. A ramp is gently cut out of the pool and as the user walks down into the building, they are surrounded by the experience of walking into the ocean. After entry the user will feel as though they are fully immersed in each environment. Using light, shape, and scale to subtly represent what depth and ecosystem you’re in. After one reaches the end in a darker room with lower ceilings to give the user the feeling of being deep down underwater. Light trickles in through 30’ of water overheard. Like freediving to the bottom of the ocean, one eventually returns to the surface the same way they came.
