The Wave Project Recycle

Project recycle was my first look into sustainable architecture. I lead a team that was asked to design a bike rack that would take up one parking space on our university’s campus, this way a car could be replaced by a much cleaner form of transportation.

We were required to safely store and lock 10 bikes to the structure as well as provide a place to sit for 5 people.

The materials used for the structure are all recycled. The wood was found at multiple places varying from construction sites to purchases made from demolition projects. The structure was built and designed entirely by a team of 7 first year architecture students.

The Beach

ARC 201 Jason Reed

The Beach was my first exposure to building design and dcumentation. The requirements of the project were to design a vistor’s center within a protected nature reserve in Dana Point, CA. In order to maximize the site coverage while simultaneously affecting the ground minimally, my visitor’s center is raised up on concrete stilts. These stilts leaves space for circulation beneath the building to allow visitors to be able to enjoy the reserve areas while interacting with the spaces created by the structure of the building itself.

Hot Bath

The Mt Baldy Bath House is a small scale bath house designed for an average capacity of 20 guests. The shading system above the structure houses solar panels to power the bath house and also collects rainwater to be used around the site as well as in the different pools.

The design of the walls is based on 6 different tectonic moves. The tectonics of the walls are established to create spaces as well as different ways of entering and leaving a space with using as few doors as possible.

Observation Facility

ARC 301 Jason Reed

The Rancho Mission Viejo Observation Facility is located near San Juan Capistrano, CA in a protected nature reserve. The facility houses 2 researchers with offices and observation areas. It is a place for visitors to come and learn about the animals and nature on the reserve.

Because of the isolated location, it is imperative that the facility be self sustaining. The main architectural and sustainable feature of the building is the roof. The wide span of the roof creates a large surface area for rain water collection to be used as gray water. The overhangs shade the clerestory windows so that no harsh sunlight enters the living quarters. Also on top of the roof are solar panels to provide energy for the facility so that the building can be completely off of the energy grid.
