YESLER TERRACE ADAPTIVE REUSE AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT

An Architecture Thesis

25FT, 300-500 YEARS

Data- taken from “What Could Disappear,” New York Times, Nov. 2012

01 A Gambled Land and an Engineered Means

08 The Toolbox: Work/Live Existing Drawings of Urban League Building.

Location: Smith Cove, Seattle, WA Completed: December 2012 Project focus: historical site development, magical realism, climate change, representation, theory Programs used: Sketchup, AutoCAD, ArcGIS, Kerkythea, Adobe, Woodshop

Location: Yesler Terrace, Seattle, WA Completed: December 2010 Project focus: multi-family affordable housing, economic revitalization, adaptive reuse Programs used: Sketchup, AutoCAD, Adobe, 35mm film and darkroom development

This thesis is inspired by the historical underpinnings of site and the pressing concern of climate change. The goal of this project is to add to discourses of today and the ways in which we speak about the future. The chosen site is a rail yard spanning from the salt water of the naturally made Puget Sound and the brackish water of the man-made Lake Washington Ship Canal. This site was selected for its embodied magical qualities- forces on the site that can be felt but not seen.

Yesler Terrace has offered low-income housing in Seattle since the mid-1950s. As much of the housing units age it must now be replaced. This studio looked at design proposals for relocated and new tenants. This project’s program focuses on the need for garage and work space to support residents in partaking in various income producing projects. The space is meant to be informal but well cared for, as residents will live on the same block and directly above the workspace. In addition to newly constructed low-income lofts & apartments, the design also includes an adaptive reuse of the Urban League Building and new public spaces.

Early settlers brought to the site their pioneering attitude, overlaying notions of risk taking and modern engineering. The ghosts of these forefathers still exist as relics of the past, a gambled and engineered land

-JACK LONDON, THE VALLEY OF THE MOON

Smith Cove, 1894

Smith Cove, 2013

Interbay is the industrial switching yard of Seattle. In 1911, former tidelands were filled with the dredging of a nearby ship canal. The site today, is an engineered landscape and a relic of Seattle’s industrial past.

Rising sea levels will bring a new frontier. A future resettlement of Smith Cove is proposed. The persona of the early settler is developed as two forces on the site: the gambler and the engineer.

Site plan

A tower acts as a directional compass, The tectonics merge the characteristics of the gambler and engineer: a precarious structure, where the highly efficient engineer’s truss has been played upon by the gambler.

Islands inspried by the delta of the tracks, is the initial and engineered response to the rising sea waters

BRIDGES

On a given construction site, lumber less than 24” in length is typically discarded. Given this premise, this studio began with exploration in the making of a piece of furniture using pieces of wood 24” in length or smaller. The furniture piece seen here, was made entirely out of found material, taken from a discard pile at a nearby lumber yard and residence. The furniture factory was proposed for an individual who works with found objects. The storage component was given additional square footage. The factory, itself, is designed using discarded shipping containers. The furniture maker lives on top of an existing structure and the residence aims to maximize space.

MODELS AND MISFITS: HAND AND DIGITAL

SHELTER Bridges are necessary to span from land to land, to cross the valley, and to connect the new landform with the old. The bridges also merge two tectonic languages—two solid, anchoring structures and a tenuous spanning element.

06 Embracing Vibrant Expression of the Neighborhood Location: Capitol Hill, Seattle, WA Completed: June 2012 Project focus: human scale, neighborhood palette, edge zones Programs used: Sketchup, AutoCAD, ArcGIS, Kerkythea, Adobe

DRAWING ISSUE

Just 45 minutes outside of Seattle, Snoqualmie Pass offers a world of outdoor adventures: from skiing to rock climbing to mountain biking. Working with a young developer, the owner of one of the largest online ski equipment retailers, we developed a community combing for-sale duplexes and related commercial enterprises, such as: a restaurant, ski museum and brewery. Designed under multiple phases, Phase 1 is currently under construction. All duplexes were completely sold before any construction even began.

Culture Collective builds upon the diversity of expression found in Capitol Hill. This distinct neighborhood thrives on the unique energy of its residents creating an experience of place that is invigorating and inspiring. The primary design strategy is based upon a central and unifying vertical circulation, held together by the dynamic programmatic elements. Like each individual resident of Capitol Hill, the site exhibits its own character embodied in an island siting with tapered parcel edges. The form embraces the uniqueness of the site, establishing its outline based on parallel lines to the parcel edges.

The main entrances of the building pull back and gesture to the university to the south, to the alleyway to the north-west and towards an urban park to the north-east. Public space ensues that is accessible directly from the cafe in both morning and afternoon.

Asked by the Energy Foundation in Beijing to provide a pathway for sustainable city development, Gehl Architects saught to invigorate the Panlong River by creating a pedestrian and bicyle network alongside the river. This link would connect new town development outside the city limits with the city center.

Responsibilities included: creating visioning collages (above) and axonometric diagrams of street level strategies (Ring Road 1). (Additional axonometric diagrams and layout (right) provided by colleague).

This studio began as an investigation into the 21st century challenge of an overabundance of waste and students were free to choose his or her own program and site. For this project, the building’s program proposes to address all stages of a material object’s life. The chosen site is the Mount Baker Light Rail station located in Seattle’s Rainier Valley. In addition to space for upcycling and appliance shares, there is also a memorial wall, or an urban graveyard, for once beloved items.

Rainier Valley is the most diverse zip code in the country, yet lacks the presence of Seattle’s major businesses, educational and artistic institutions. The program of the building embraces diversity as a resource through an artifact museum while simultaneously facilitating connection to global institutions via a collection center for used goods and packaging waste.

Location: New York, NY Completed: February 2008 - August 2008 Project focus: journalism, interviewing, research, writing and editing Programs used: Microsoft Office and Quark Copy Desk

Worked with research team, funded by U.S. Department of Energy, on energy reducing strategies for hospital buildings. Responsibilities included: creating diagrams, project coordination, conducting research and preparing and giving presentations. Provided consulting on energy usage and lighting design strategies through building physical models and computer analysis.

Wrote features for magazine and online editions. Participated in project-portfolio reviews and new project press tours. Represented magazine at architectural functions and worked with art directors on editorial layouts.

Building upon the idea of community through individual contribution, as seen in Seattle’s famous Gum Wall, an urban landfill for beloved items is envisioned. The vertical core of the building serves as circultation and as a collection wall displaying once cherished items. Double skinned concrete filled steel tubular (DSCFT) columns support the large floor plates, while floor to ceiling trusses support an open floor plan, lateral stability and cantilevers.
