24313 HEMLOCK DRIVE Plainfield, IL Amer Sassila Plainfield is located in Will County, just outside the Chicagoland area in a rural region. It was devasted by the 1990 F-5 tornado. Prior to moving to the neighborhood where I spent 11 years of my life, the land was owned by farmers for agricultural use until 1998 when purchased by Pasquinelli Developers. Rapid construction of the Heritage Meadows subdivision, homes, schools within the area took place. In September 2000, we were officially living at 24313 Hemlock Drive. The neighborhood consists of a street with similar style houses aligned in a linear manner. There is a public park that has a playground, baseball fields, and an asphalt pathway for residents to walk the entire subdivision of Heritage Meadows. There are three ponds that serve for stormwater management and wetland marshes for the houses. There is a vast amount of open prairie space that consists of the Heritage Grove Middle School’s soccer field. Plainfield North High School is the high school I attended from 2005-2009. Its location is within walking and biking distance from my house at the time. As time progessed, so did the construction of the surrounding context. This lead to the construction of the Edwards Hospital, a Lutheran Church, Plainfield North High School, a Walmart, Target, strip malls, a McDonalds, CVS, and gas stations all within a 1.5 mile radius of my neighborhood. There are still lands that are owned by farmers right next to the developed land. During this time, construction of the whole town of Plainfield has progressed rapidly as the population increased from 10,000 to 40,000 within a span of four years.

P-CHORD MARKET Amer Sassila Robert Solan
BUILDING INFORMATION Initial Building Area: 120,000 sq. ft. (60 ft x 500 ft x 4 levels) Proposed Design Square Footage: 50,175 sq. ft including indoor garden (23,775 excluding roof top) Spacing between the bays: 15 bays Program Area Summary: Indoor farming facility with an indoor and outdoor market place. The spine element is functioning as an indoor agricultural production and fish domestication. Site & Context Description: The region around downtown Detroit consists of numerous farm lands as agriculture contributes $91.4 billion dollars to the state economy according to most recent data from USDA. Budget & Constraints: Exterior shell is the set limit. Activity Space Description: Restaurants (4500 sq. ft. which 40% is kitchen, storage, cooking, preparation; 60% is dining room)on each end of the building; bathrooms (120 sq. ft each) are located just underneath the restaurant; loading dock (3600 sq. ft) consists of mechanical, electrical, and market storage space. The indoor farm representing the spine (~20 ft x 400 ft = ~8475 sq. ft.) is held above the market where it is accessible to the public during the seasonal market operating hours. The north end contains three 7,500 cubic ft aquaponic tanks (6.5” thick acryllic glass) for Tilapia on the first level while the three 3,750 cubic ft (3” thick acryllic glass) on the third level are for the rainbow trout and chinook salmon. Roof top is a green roof which also serves as a natural water filtering mechanism streaming towards the fish tank. The market area is 22,800 sq.ft of space. The 5th level (office space), 4th level (authorized garden space), and 2nd level (gallery space) are all 3600 sq. ft. each. The extensive green roof system serves as a filter for the aquaponic tanks as water pumps out from tanks through green roof. The roof also has a retractable glass cover for the winter seasons in order to shield roof top from freezing temperatures while still operating as a filter. Client and User Description: The users of the space will be farmers, USDA researchers, zoologists, and of course the general public during the seasonal market operation. Project Goals and Priorities: Keeping the existing exterior structure to retain the Packard Identity while re-designing the interior to successfully establish a seasonal market place and full-time farm. Estimated Air Quantity for space: 75 degrees nearly all day; approximately 9,030,042.518 cfm of air needed for space

General Growing Tips All of these plants require well-draining soil, which means you will either need to use a pot with holes in the bottom or pile up some stones in the bottom of your pot before adding soil (so that the water can drain through the stones). If you choose to use a pot with holes in the bottom, be sure to put a shallow drainage container under the pot so the water doesn’t drain onto your floor, shelf, or windowsill. For each of these plants, feel free to purchase potting mix at a garden center or make your own (You can also choose whether or not you want to stick with organic soils). Each plant grows best in a slightly different soil environment, but this general potting mix recipe will help get you started. Many of these plants grow best in areas that receive lots of sunlight and remain fairly warm throughout the day. Sunny WINDOWS are extremely helpful for growing plants indoors. However, if you don’t have sunny windows (or if the area is a low temperature), grow lights will be your new best friend — they help maintain optimal light and temperature conditions for plants regardless of outside weather or indoor conditions. http://greatist.com/health/best-plants-to-grow-indoors

GARY COMER YOUTH CENTER • Chicago, IL
MID-TERM PACKARD RECREATIIONAL COMMUNITY CENTER Some of the driving concepts for the Promenade Center were developed in the Packard Recreational Community Center. As we began to study the site we realized that the existing building imposed itself on the community. This led us to develop two tectonic intervention strategies: the stripping and revealing of the structure and the fragmentation of the building into smaller masses.

Albert Kahn had replaced the wood in factory walls, roofs, and supports with reinforced concrete, the first of its kind. In the present, the Packard site has lost its relevance and turned its back to the surrounding community. The Promenade Center aims to reconnect with its neighbors and reincorporate the landscape to our daily life. Through this project, the historic buildings are enchanced with new technologies, materials and functions, in spirits of re-inhabiting the ruins.

P-CHORD Creative Corridor The Creative Corridor of the New P-CHORD district is made up of co-op spaces, galleries, a film and photo building, as well as residential units. The spaces serve as a creative incubator for the surrounding neighborhood and allow for a work/live area to emerge. Each of the four co-ops in the Creative Corridor works around a particular material; textile, wood, steel and glass. Each of the materials is found within the light industrial corridor, just outside of the site. The usage of existing materials allows for the co-ops to feed back into the surrounding neighborhood, opening up areas of opportunity for all. The east end of the existing Albert Khan buildings were opened up in order to facilitate east and west movement through the site. Each of the five buildings in the Creative Corridor had atriums implemented to open up the buildings to one another and to guide north and south movement. Within each of the buildings, there is a blurred divide between public and private areas. Each of the corridors, galleries, and green rooftops are available for everyone to enjoy, with the co-op spaces permitting more privacy, while still allowing people passing by to view the work happening within, and being able to pop in and out of workspaces upon the designers’ wishes. The goal of the co-cops is to allow the neighborhoods’ residents to express their creativity, to create opportunities for those within P-CHORD as well as those living in the surrounding area, and giving people a space to work, sell and display their products within their neighborhood.

NEIGHBORHOOD PARK
Based on the urban plan of the packard plant, we introduced the the tram line into this site, combined with the bike lane, side walk, green spaces and the roads. For the north end, there also has the high way, which we can use in a way to attract more people here. There will be a tram station in the north, and a tower to pop up from the long site, the program here would be a park that can provide public spaces, shopping, memorial, museum, transportation for the neighborhood. At the same time, what is going on on the site would be an attraction to the the whole city. The tower near the high way with its own unique look would be an attraction to the people driven on the high way.The concetp of spine can energize the park with the circulation. The tram line separte from other transpotation lines on the north, driving through the water landscape and green spaces, going under the tower, build a communication with the spine. The water landscape and the green land touched the spine and the tram line which made a natural mix with the site and the people.
URBAN DESIGN PROGRAM PLAN The main purpose of this urban design concept is to demolish the isolation of the deserted packard plant. There has been a bridge wall all along the northesat side of all the buildings. This bridge wall was meant to connect all the buildings from north to south, it might be in good use when the packard factory was still operating. But now this wall has become a barrier from the neibourhood. It agrravates the desolation of the site. So in the reuse of the remained buildings I want to take away this barrier and form an opened and friendly neighborhood. The remained buildings of parkard were in a relatively high density. This high density was for the use of an effective motor factory, not for a public space or a park. So to reduce the density is another key of this urban design concept. How to revitalize a deserted ghost factory is the biggest problem here. To reviatalize, we need people. To attract people, we need interesting and friendly program here. We need to concider all the different needs of all the different people, make the neighborhood safe, livable and vital.

For the separate design program, what inspired me the most is my favorate Japanese cartoon movie Spirited Away. There is a scene that a little girl traveled on a tram which drives through the sea to save her important friend. This scene touched me so much that I think it would be great to let the tram line go through the water landscape. This landscape can actually make this park an unique place to visit.

SPINAL SOFA Amer Sassila Robert Solan Chen Jia
The driving force behind the sofa design is human ergonomic analysis of the human spine. This design relates to the adaptive reuse project for the the old Packard Plant in Detroit, Michigan due to the new design being driven by a connecting “spine”. The form of the sofa is intended to emulate the human spine while at the same time providing comfort in three ways. The hollow center through the sofa is meant to provide flexibility in order to give additional comfort while being structurally stable simultaneously.
