CLEAN ENERGY LABORATORY + RESEARCH CENTER ACADEMIC RESEARCH FACILITY FOR THE ENHANCEMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH UNDERGRADUATE SENIOR PROJECT

Laboratories are incubators of innovation which house the studies of precedent to manipulate an anticipated future. The research and development industry manifests progressive discoveries, transforming numerous fields including manufacturing, biomedical and environmental health. Principles of forward pioneering drive the functions within a laboratory, yet the current building typology hinders research advances due to its isolated program and static functionality. Laboratories that restrict programming to highly regimented uses become outdated, catering only to the needs of the researchers at the time of construction. Frozen in a scientific era, these buildings reap the consequences of an ever-evolving industry, leaving many inoperable and useless. These aging factors represent the stark contrast between innovative laboratory research and orthodox building design. Creative impulse in research theory is suppressed by the insufficiency of flexibility in space and lack of social spontaneity which can influence innovative research approaches. The current model of workplace isolation has proven to be an inefficient strategy in regard to productivity and psychological health of the individual. Integral socialization and spontaneous interaction complements the rigor of laboratory focus, harmonizing efficiency and idealized research philosophy. This senior project questions the precedents of research philosophy and the architect’s interpretation of laboratory design. Reinterpreting research methodologies, this project encourages revolt against isolation as it redefines productive social creativity.

The anxieties of surgery can take a toll on a patient even before the surgical knife is drawn. The mental games of health and well being must be haltered before any physical demand can be endured. At Southern California Orthopedic Surgical Center, the experience of the patient is the priority of the men and women who service them and the designers who provide a desirable space in which healing may occur. Reverting to nature as a primordial instinct that calms and soothes, the patient at SCOC is constantly connected to nature. Day lighting floods the main atrium and key intersections of program providing a distinction with the play of light. The roof ungulates in a rolling motion to mimic the mountains in the backdrop of the site views, resulting in the canyon as a safe haven in health care.

Salton sea carbon neutral revitalization development NET ZERO URBAN DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGE The Salton Sea is one of the world’s largest inland salt seas located in Southern California near the border of Mexico. It was once home to many animal species and people who flocked to the region in the 1950’S. Over time, the sea basin began to collect toxic chemicals from nearby agricultural land runoff consequently causing the sea to resemble more an infected wasteland than a desert oasis. Rising levels of salt and reduced oxygen levels in the sea created a hazard to aquatic wildlife, exterminating many species of fish. As the health of the sea deteriorated, communities along the shores also began to dwindle, both becoming an unproductive eye sore. The design proposal for the Salton Sea emphasizes the development of industry, regulated agriculture, recreation and mixed use residential while returning the sea to a thriving environment and resource. In recognition to the guidelines issued by the Living Building Institute Challenge, the team’s design proposal incorporated many renewable strategies, including desalination and wetland filtration to achieve a carbon neutral city. The sea itself can be used and developed as a mechanism to reverse the negative effects further restoring a healthy ecosystem. In result, a symbiotic relationship will evolve as the cities of the region and the environment support one another as they live in equilibrium.

Taiwan’s historical uniqueness is shaped by its inclusive multiculturalism. Our design of the tower is in essence an elegant time capsule that captures and reflects the strength and resilience of the people of Taiwan in fostering the evolution of Taiwan’s cultural diversity throughout its history. The spirit of Taichung is further captured by weaving the city’s fascinating historic, cultural, and social fabric into our tower design. Our tower design becomes an icon for the city of Taichung by relating to its spirit of place and allowing new meanings of history to be experienced and acquired over time. The tower represents a “Column of History” for Taichung and Taiwan, where the vertical Museum of Taichung City Development in the tower correlates with the time line and places of significance in the city’s history. While all things are vulnerable to the effects of time, this tower creates experiences of temporal continuum by relating Taichung’s history to its present and future. It will not only exhibit history and celebrate social gatherings, but becomes a backdrop to many cultural events on holidays and festivals. Beyond having a net-zero carbon footprint, the tower is designer to sequester carbon, removing it from the atmosphere. In addition to being part of the Research and Development Innovation Zone the tower will be a beacon for experimental sustainable technologies showcasing Taiwan’s initiative toward low-carbon urban development. The model green tower of today will not freeze in time as it is a modulated structure with skin systems evolving to adapt to the latest building technology. The tower connects visitors to its place through spatial, programmatic, and functional means. Visitors become participants, as opposed to passive spectators of monumental architecture. By demonstrating this synergy between function and form, the design achieves its goal of capturing the spirit of Taiwan.

UPDRAFT WIND TURBINE
Building integrated photovoltaic panels will be placed on the southeastern facade, close to the zenith following the position of the sun. This generates selective protrusions in the building form.
Taking advantage of the increased pressure of a high structure, an updraft tower is introduced for ventilation. The hot air generated from solar radiation in a vertical greenhouse transfers into the utility strand of the tower due to the differences in pressure. Energy is generated by the spinning of horizontal wind turbines within the shaft before the hot air is released at the top of the tower.
The building responds to wind patterns at different heights, resulting in an asymmetrical and helicoidal form. Wind is accelerated and harvested into turbines through sculpted openings and converted into clean energy.

The tower’s surrounding site will act as a geoengineered farm absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere and transferring it underground. This is achieved through algae, a rapidly growing organism, which is transferred and processed underground. Biofuel is extracted from the bioplanting to supply fuel for public transportation to the site. The remaining biomass is utilized as greenscape fertilizer throughout the site.
Three major water tanks are allocated throughout the height of the tower. Due to the high humidity content in Taichung, water is condensed from the air and by lowering the surface temperature of the North side of the large tubular structures.
The design maximizes the use of materials with low embodied energy and carbon content. A lightweight highly efficient structure minimizes the use of materials, while a modular design reduces waste and maximizes adaptive reuse. The tower’s cylindrical volume is also the most efficient form in minimizing envelope area to volume ratio using the least amount of material to enclose the building.

The vitality of successful designer is understanding the cause and effect of drawings. While an employee at Nacht & Lewis Architects, I worked alongside the leading principals for the internal office’s tenant improvement project. The main conference room is a standalone structure within a two story height atrium, yet noise control issues brought the firm to an acoustical renovation. After surveying the conference room, I developed 2 dimensional drawings and a 3 dimensional BIM model to portray the intentions of the project clearly to the consultants and contractor. Following the project from schematic design to the construction bidding phase, a cohesive design was achieved.

Architecture firms are not only establishments where artists can develop their visions into buildings. They are also businesses that must derive profit. During my education at Cal Poly Pomona, I have prepared project cost estimates, staffing reports and scheduling agendas. While at HMC Architects, I was a member of the project recruitment team who prepared a Request for Qualifications submittal for a new construction hospital. The firm management aspects of architecture fuel aspirations to emerge into management, leading the way to managing principal of a firm later in my career.

MEET JUlIE COLEMAN Introduction to the up and coming designer
As a young designer, Julie Coleman is in pursuit to expand her career through exploration of multiple design markets within various urban identities. A native Californian, she is compelled to understand design by the exploration of varied philosophies influenced by location and culture. Therefore, she is eager to relocate for the opportunity of new design endeavours. With a keen sense of marketing, Coleman’s acquired digital skills and client consultation experience enhance each project she works on. Having worked as a technical professional in the justice and healthcare markets, she has a broad understanding of how to translate the client’s needs to an ideal design solution. With her foundation in BIM software, she understand the importance of integrated design of multiple disciplines to achieve a successful project. While at Nacht & Lewis Architects in Sacramento, California, Coleman directly corresponded with various representatives of the client and architectural consultants during the design development of a correctional mental health facility. While integrating the ideals of psychologists, security specialists, mechanical consultants and aesthetics, the design team created multiple solutions to unify their needs in a cohesive design. Coleman was also a contributing designer of a top 5 submission to the International Taiwan Tower Competition with HMC Architects. Collaborating with multiple disciplines and designers, she helped sculpt an elegant story of the design intent told with visual graphics and narratives. Promoting model green initiatives, the team proposed utilizing frontier technologies to make it a carbon neutral 400 meter demonstration tower. Since the architectural field is a competitive market, our progression must not only reach seamlessly integrated designs, and elegant aesthetics, it must also pave the foundation of carbon neutrality in a world to be desired for years to come. As leaders of this architectural movement or simply architectural enthusiasts, I invite you to discover my explorations in design. Contact information E T W
