The role of an Architect is to be a tool for the betterment of people. Architecture in the 21st century has turned into a system of paperwork assignments leading to modernistic designs that although may be advancing in the fields of sustainability or structure they lack concern for who is using the building. It has become a profession like all other that has many people in search of financial gain. When you break down what it means to be human, you’ll see its a pursuit or want for fulfillment or joy. The architect isn’t meant to tell people or guide people in how to find this essence of humanity, it Is meant to be a tool to help people on their own life path. Architecture is a powerful tool that impacts our live in many ways I think we have yet to find or understand. I think this is the part that attracts people to pursue architecture as a profession. Many paths can lead to becoming a practicing architect. You used to have to be an apprentice of a master builder and when they deemed you ready you were allowed to work on a project. We are now taught that architecture needs to be used at this global scale leading us to design concepts for massive buildings that can be placed in big cities and impact the thinking and lives within those communities. The problem with designing colossal buildings is that you lose the community and human part of Architecture. All pieces of the built environment should be designed to human scale. We should let the people existing within the space to dictate the space. One tenth of the world live on less than two dollars a day. Although being taught how to make large scale buildings is important, this is not how we can create the most impact with our learned skills. We have been engrained, especially in this century, with the fact that making a lot of money is the reason to get a higher education. Samuel Mockbee of Rural Studios said it perfectly “ College is for knowledge to make a better world not money.” I agree with this core belief that in our ever-growing quest to make money we lose sight of what our duty is as an architect. With the knowledge and skill Architects possess they are a group people who can have a huge influence on the world. This means we should realize that there is an obligation to help those that are less fortunate. At some point our designs will be around without us. This is the creation of legacy. Creating a legacy through large scale icons is in my opinion less fulfilling then leaving a legacy through people and the emotions you invoked within

“Given the fact we are one of the least educated communities in the United States, only 17% of adults over the age of 25 have a bachelors degree or higher, I think that this is an equity issue. We need an investment in higher education,” says Lange Luntao, board president of the Stockton Unified School District Board of Trustees.
2.1
Last year, 31,000 students were turned away from CSU schools because campuses were full. San Joaquin Delta College students, like Andrew Zapien, a business major, says it would make transferring to a four-year school much more affordable. “I think that it would be good for all of us students who don’t have like money to transfer,” says Andrew Zapien. “It’s just time that we at the state level really take this seriously and take the time to come here and listen. And we’ve had a whole day of listening to educators to students to elected officials to parents about why this location and this time is really ripe in invest-ing more and expanding higher education opportunities here in Stockton,” Lt. Governer Kounalakis said. “Honestly, if Stockton had a good CSU, I think it would be highly beneficial to not only myself but the residents as well,” said Al-yssa Gonzales, a Sacramento State student. “I feel like people who attend our local community college, San Joaquin Delta College, often feel “stuck” and left with a few variety of schools to transfer to.” “In the City of Stockton, the state has given us four prisons. That’s what we want to change. Close a prison, open a university,” Susan Talamantes This ignorance — for that’s what it is — is at the root of Stockton’s problems. It’s not the economy, stupid. It’s the uneducated, un-skilled, unwitting workforce and electorate, which translates to a culture of mediocrity and incompetence. Low-paying, dead-end jobs, charlatans on the City Council (see: former Mayor Anthony Silva) and a cohort of populists with their weird combination of cynicism toward elites and gullibility towards any checkered character from their community who claims they care. Most such bad actors would be left behind if the city had a deep bench of educated leaders. And educated voters. We’d have better policy and smarter urbanism. Not to mention the better jobs. Not just high-wage
employers moving in, but organic start-ups, entrepreneurialism, inventors winning new patents and making improvements to Ag technology and who knows what else. “I truly believe that in the next twenty years Stockton will be a model city for Urban transformation”- Michael Tubbs. Mayor of Stockton 2017-present. POLITICAL WILL OF STOCKTON

CSU Chico We used the look of Chico’s spread out campus to make decisions on the relationship between buildings scale and path scale. we wanted to make an open plan for our campus which sits in a dense urban environment. Although we found Chicos lack of organization hard to understand circulation routes.
CSU Channel Islands Looking at the courtyard scheme of Channel islands led us to put courtyards inbetween almost every building. Having spaces with circulation of all students sprouts the since of community and socialization between students.
University of Portland The integration between University of Portland and the surrounding city is almost seamless. CSU Stockton would sit in the center of an urban environment. We wanted a design that invited interaction between school and city but also didn’t make the students feel vulnerable or uncomfortable.

The San Joaquin River flows west and then north until it joins with the Sacramento river which flows South. The confluence of the San Joaquin and Sacramento river is the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. Stockton is situated on the Eastern San Joaquin Basin, which feeds much of the water needed for Stockton’s agriculture. The Delta’s waterways are extremely important means of transportation for Stockton, with the port of Stockton being a major contributer to Stockton’s economy.

CHAPTER THREE: HOUSING FOR CSU STOCKTON
JOEL FOSTER FOSTER STUDIO STUDIO WHITE WHITE ARCH ARCH 353 353 2020 2020 JOEL
The project that will have the most positive impact on Stockton is community based living for students. The best way to feel comfortable in a new space or house is too get to know the neighborhood and the people of that community. Im going to take an approach of designing the student housing as a campus village. This language sounds a lot like im design a PCV but I plan on creating a village focused around community interaction and social interfacing rather then the isolation I felt while living in PCV last year. I plan to include a community garden, food pantry and clothing bank. I will also be designing to break down the stigma that getting food from “banks” is alienating and unusual. College is more about the learning about yourself outside the classroom then the academics found in the classrooms. I think having available resources within the on campus housing for students who need them will be beneficial and help students with different backgrounds get to know each other. The challenge that I have chosen to tackle is posed by Stocktons mayor Michael Tubbs he claimed “We need to build Stockton as a community that you don’t have to flee from. You can stay right here, get educated, and give back.” The best way to keep people in a location is to help them feel welcomed and comfortable. That begins in your home. To make people stay they must feel a sense of belonging. Through a community garden and student run food and clothes pantries this will help build community amongst the students living on campus. Hopefully the bonds made will be strong enough to carry through the whole four year experience and beyond. If people associate happy and good feelings of community with Stockton they will be more likely stay after college. This aligns perfectly with my manifesto. I stated that being human is about a search for fulfillment and joy. This project im choosing to take on will be the best tool to help the students find joy in a time of their lives that can be formative and scary. Hopefully the garden and stores will allow them to feel a way of fulfillment if they so choose to seek it out. This is centered around the idea of having a common goal in a community that will bring people closer together and help build trust. The trust will help the students feel comfortable and safe on campus. College and the hard classes correlated to getting your degree can defeat students even if they are capable. The trust and safe feeling students will get from living on campus will help them feel like they have the support and community to take on the challenges of college. In the end that is the complete goal of my housing village to make sure no student no matter the background feels alone. MOONSHOT
DESIGN GOALS
The goal with this housing complex was to create a sense of community amongst the students. I attempted to achieve this through a community run garden. A big worry was making sure that students felt safe within their housing village. Feeling of safety and comfort are essential to building a strong community. I also believed before doing my research that the best way for people to meet each other was to put them in tight hallway with small rooms forcing social collisions.

DESIGN CONCLUSIONS
After completing this project I found that the best way to make everyone feel comfortable and better about opening up, is to allow for a variation of social collision spaces. This caused me to design the circulation paths to rooms to pass through large medium and small social spaces. The sense of safety within the housing complex comes from its orientation. I put large at walls facing the community and a large open courtyard facing the center of campus. I placed the garden in the center courtyard so hopefully people could see others working on it and want to join in. The open spaces outside each room and in between the buildings will lead students to opening up to each other.

4.1
After the last 6 weeks I have found that saying we should listen and learn from others is easier than actually doing it. I found myself constantly struggling with not drawing solely off personal experiences. I would say this is the first time I researched the occupancy of my building before entering the design process. I enjoyed the research and studies I did before starting the project and I look forward to bringing through that part of the process into this 18 week project.
AADI
Reflecting on my work in the last 6 weeks, I can easily say that while my basic thoughts and ideology remains the same, I have learned a lot and see even more possibilities to explore with architecture. With the project that I undertook: a research center for Autonomous vehicles in Palm Desert, I discovered a lot. I slowly began to understand the impact that architecture can have not just on people within it, but outside it as well. I used form and materiality as a way to increase curiosity and really bring people together.
Center for collection and analysis of campus data and how to use this to improve all things on campus. Data on student success, how it’s driven by housing and different kinds of learning. Focusing on the campus first then we can move outwardly. Centrally located for safety and ease of transportation of data. Looking at data research for the community can help give insights on how to best improve the city and its economy, it is a driver for future progress.

Hopefully if they have the ability they will use the grand stair case to walk up into the other floors where their labs are located. After walking through a student and teacher communal space on their floor they will finally reach their labs. In the labs they will learn how to analyze data and then transform findings in a way that allows others to see the patterns and trends found by the students.
Project goals: how might we make the learning of data, which typically happens
between an individual and their computer, a more collaborative experience?
How might we turn the visualization of data into something that can bring people together? How might we connect the lessons learned to the real world problems happening outside the classrooms?

Project purpose: The purpose of our Data Science building is to take a digitally learned skill like data analysis and visualization and make it as communal and collaborative as possible. It’s easy for a computer-based learning environment, like the one needed for the data field, to become isolating. Our goal is to make it easy and accessible for human interaction and collaboration, working not only between students and teachers but also teacher to teacher and student to student. The degrees that can be learned within our building are graphic design, accounting, economics, software engineering, and everything in-between. The possibilities are endless and can help create budding entrepreneurs and bring higher paying jobs to Stockton as well.

5.1
In the ďŹ rst attempt of our data science and visualization building we emphasized transparency in hopes of collaboration between students and teachers. We decided after doing research that we would need a lot of space for servers so that all the data can be stored easily. In attempt to make transparency we designed a huge glass atrium in between the seemingly two separate buildings. We separated the undergraduate labs and graduate labs. We also felt that making all the circulation visible would draw more people into the building. DESIGN GOALS

DESIGN CONCLUSIONS
After the three weeks of design we learned a ton about the program of data science and visualization. We came to the realization that we were making an education building and not a huge data storage government building this means having a huge space for thousands of servers was completely unnecessary. The central atrium that was suppose to connect the two buildings just created a clear and polarized divide. We preached a design for more collaboration but between the atrium and separating the labs opportunity for collaboration was incredibly low. In an attempt for transparency of data we way over glazed the building as well.
CHAPTER SIX: SCHEMATIC DESIGN
JOEL FOSTER FOSTER STUDIO STUDIO WHITE WHITE ARCH ARCH 353 353 2020 2020 JOEL
In our second attempt we aimed to portray the flow of data. Data is continuously and always being created and changing. This also drove us to attempt to blur the line between exterior and interior spaces hoping to make the building as permeable as possible. We decided to move our site about two hundred feet to the west to a site with more foliage. This drove us to design more based on site rather than just a building plopped on land. We also flattened the building less floor but more open floor plans.

59 Making a building with only curves we created a lot of spaces that had unusable space due to the curves. The large atrium space we still had on the north side of our building made the building too hot from over glazing. This attempt did teach us how to find form from site. The trees are how we chose where to put curves. We did not want to have to cut any down. Flattening it out and making large but less floor plates allowed for open floor plans which would lead to more social collision spaces and greater collaboration between all occupants.
DESIGN CONCLUSIONS
CHAPTER SEVEN: FINAL DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
JOEL FOSTER FOSTER STUDIO STUDIO WHITE WHITE ARCH ARCH 353 353 2020 2020 JOEL
Our ďŹ nal design of the data science and visualization building for CSU Stockton we completely focused on the idea that seeing others work will inspire occupants. This lead us to create a strong circulation axis horizontally straight through the building. We used sections to ďŹ nd spaces where students could see other students working within labs and other parts of the building. Another large driver for this design was the collaboration between students and teachers. The building seems really opaque and closed from the outside but once inside it opens up and has vast space for learning. It was to represent how once you learn how to analyze the data it can show you so much more information than just a bunch of point on a graph or numbers on a paper.

The central walkway ended up being much too defined and rigid for the goal of collaboration and permeability. Working in section did help us create more varied floors and spaces while created an ability for communication vertical through the building. We also placed teachers offices on multiple floors and right next to the main circulation to allow easy access between students and teachers. This design really accomplished the idea that it is easier to become that with which you can see. It’s the idea that when you see peers from the same background as you succeeding it will make you believe you can also accomplish the same thing. DESIGN CONCLUSIONS

REFLECTION This incredible journey through double quarter studio has taught me more than, I’m sure, I realize at this point. I learned how to use a completely new modeling software, Revit. It was super beneficial, because this was the most integrated my designs have ever been. I normally draw inspiration from other classes, but these past two quarters were really about applying information from other classes and including it within the designs. Correctly having to understand the weather barrier of my building through detailing my facade and having to size the structural system were both great learning opportunities. This studio specifically also taught me about how difficult, time consuming, and important master planning is. Before this quarter I just was given a site and started designing. This double studio was also one for the books, I had to learn how to work from home with a partner across the world in Bangalore, India. I am super thankful I had such an amazing partner it was as easy as working during a world pandemic could be. Aadi also helped me understand the flow and strength of working in a partnership to design rather than alone like in previous quarters. One of the best parts about being in this studio was the incredible realness that was the CSU Stockton project. Learning how to design for real clients and go through a process of design, that would happen if the project was being tackled by an architecture firm, was amazing. It was very exciting to understand how our profession and jobs can truly help people. This ideal was instilled on us from the very beginning starting with video of Samual Mockbee and Rural Studios all the way through with the master planning of Stockton and designing catalytic buildings for the school and community. Moving forward I hope to keep all designs based on the clients, what their needs are, I want to stop designing based on what I think they want or need. Making buildings to benefit a place requires a deeper understanding of the people and site than I had previously thought. I realize now Architects are meant to listen and help rather than, believe they know better and impress their designs on communities.
