INTRODUCTION In the two-quarter studio, the goal is to create a more in-depth building design, which considers a multitude of factors in the design process. Consideration of structure, site context, mechanical systems, energy consumption, programmatic function, formal drivers, material properties, and material assemblies are all drivers to the spatial development of the design. In the initial phases, group work helped in compiling research about the clients, immigrant populations being served, campus planning, potential sites, and questions to answer. The two-quarter allowed for individual exploration of program and form at the first phases of design, before combining forces with another colleague in the studio for further development.

The start of the design process began initial group research. We researched mass migration and its causes which provided a general understanding of who will be entering the campus. Campus planning research pinpoints the needs of students and how they interact with the communities that surround them. Further research raises questions of how we might combine the needs of the students with those of the people they serve. This research fed into what kind of site would most benefit the two groups based on accessibility, surrounding communities, climate and natural resources, and existing infrastructure. With the selection of Barrio Logan, further site research and a site visit provided a better understanding of the existing context, and which parts of the site might be best suited for the campus. Campus and site development were done as a class, to establish the redevelopment of roads and pedestrian walkways, as well as general location of buildings. Simultaneously, design development started for individual buildings, starting to develop established programs needed. A “moonshot” program was also chosen based on what was deemed most necessary to enhance the campus. Massing, test-fits, and program development lead up to mid review and firm reviews, to start introducing intentions and initial ideas. Post-reviews, the project moved from individual to group work, to take comments from mid review and revisit the conceptual massing and program. In the second half of the two-quarter, a more in-depth dive into the building code provided a solid basis to adjust/ account for mechanical systems, plumbing, structure, and other more technical aspects and re-affirm goals. In the final weeks, more attention was directed towards façade design, material choice, and walls/floor assemblies.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Currently located in downtown San Diego, California Western School of Law is seeking to expand its campus to provide a higher quality of education. As a part of its curriculum, there is an emphasis on hands-on education through clinics that serve under-represented clients in the areas of criminal, immigration, trademark, legal aid, and internet law. With the largest clinic being focused on immigration law, understanding who they are serving was crucial to better understanding the campus and building design. From research on mass migration, five issues that were researched in depth included: crime and violence, environmental degradation, poverty and economic opportunity and immunity and elite indifference. Taking examples of other law campuses provided an outline of how to approach design Cal Western’s new law campus. Positive attributes included: strong community and safety, highly pedestrian, human-scaled, accessible from multiple modes of transportation/ commercial areas, a mixture of shared/private spaces, and additional resources to support students. Its proximity to downtown San Diego and public transit benefits both students and populations being served. Regarding its climate, the weather stays within the comfort zone throughout much of the year and is an ideal location for using solar energy and internal heat gain. The site is at the threshold between downtown San Diego and the more residential Barrio Logan community, providing an opportunity for the campus to bridge the two together. In reshaping the site, the campus only occupies the two empty lots, leaving much of the existing infrastructure untouched. The main campus locates itself with National Ave., 16th St., and Commercial St, populated by five main building and a central plant. In designing the campus collectively, the goal was to respond to environmental and cultural context, implement transitional spaces, introduce biophilic design, and encourage community interaction. Much of the master plan takes direct influence from the goals of the Barrio Logan Master Plan. As a part of the campus, the CourtYard serves as Cal Western’s recreation and bilingual daycare. The recreation center is a crucial amenity to student’s health and well-being. Furthermore, it provides an opportunity for interaction between students and the community in a non-formal setting. Alongside the rec is a bilingual daycare, providing services to both students and the Barrio Logan community. Primarily, these two spaces are designed to encourage a care-free and playful environment, as a place to escape the stressful environment of law school.

CONTEXTUAL UNDERSTANDING Population With the site sitting at the threshold between Barrio Logan and Downtown San Diego, the law school campus would serve to bridge the two communities together. On the south-eastern part of the site sits Barrio Logan, a more residential community. To the north of the site is Downtown San Diego, a much more dense, urban environment. The total population of Logan Heights, also known as Barrio Logan, is 58,408, with around a 5% population increase annually. The community makes up about 4% of San Diego’s total population of 1.4 million people. Community Context The initial neighborhood of Barrio Logan grew due to the development of a US Naval Base in 1898 in San Diego. Later, the creation of a major commercial seaport and the railroads also provided a housing boom in the area. This brought many diverse groups to the area, including African-Americans, Japanese-Americans, Filipino-Americans, and Italian-Americans. However, the spirit of the community today, known as the “Logan Heights Experience” (aka The Heights, Logan, La Logan, Barrio Logan, etc.) is due to the migration of the Mexican families which began around 1900. They came from all parts of Mexico, including Baja California, Sonora, Chihuahua, Sinaloa, Durango, Michoacan, Zacatecas, etc. The population growth of Mexican families would continue up to the 1950s. In 1956, the placement of Interstate 5 and the deliberate changes in zoning patterns (from primarily residential to mixed-

use industrial) devastated Logan Heights by removing economic viability and decreasing property values. The highly controversial Coronado Bridge created a strong physical separation in the community. In both aspects, Logan Heights residents felt uninformed and unable to voice objections or opinions on the expansion of San Diego, and to this day, families still feel a great sense of loss. However, in the late 1960s, the residents of Logan Heights came together to oppose the construction of a sub-station under the San-Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge. Through incredible will and commitment, the land was turned over to the community and later became Chicano Park. The community’s tenacity, spirit, and determination to preserve Barrio Logan as a vibrant, culturally rich, and united community continues and can be seen today in their Barrio Logan Community Plan. Demographic Distribution San Diego has a distinctive cultural identity from Hispanic populations. Historically, the area became prominent from industrial jobs, and there was a significant increase in San Diego’s Mexican population due to the 1910 Mexican Revolution. Alongside the prevalent Hispanic and Latino population, 42% of San Diego’s residents are white, 16% are Asian residents, and Black or African American residents make up 5% of the population. The median age is around 26.8 years. Overall, the culturally vibrant community consists mostly of local families that need a catalyst to revitalize the sense of physical connection that drives socio-economic and employment growth. Poverty In Logan Heights, the annual median income varies with an average income of $52,944. The total median income lies below the

JULIETTE FOURNIER | MAYA ROSEN | STUDIO WHITE | ARCH-352/353 | WINTER/SPRING 2022

average at $40,310, primarily belonging to demographics under 25 and over 65. The total working population of Logan Heights consists of 51,093 people, 73.9% of which are above the poverty level with an additional 22.9% below the poverty level. The average Barrio Logan household lives on an annual income 45% less than the rest of San Diego. Air Quality San Diego is currently ranked as having the seventh worst ozone pollution in the country. With a median AQI, or Air Quality Index, of 64, this city reports only 73 days of good air quality throughout the year while the remaining 292 days record air quality that is moderate or unhealthy for sensitive groups. Water Availability The availability of water in Logan Heights is limited due to its lack of precipitation and large population. Annually, it receives approximately 12 inches of rain per year, mostly seeing clear and sunny days. Logan Heights also experiences an average humidity of 69% per year with the most humid month being July and the driest being January. Given its context in southern California, Logan Heights and the rest of San Diego rely on imported water from northern California or the Colorado River through the 242-mile-long Colorado River Aqueduct. Still, Logan Heights and San Diego produce 10% of their own drinking water through the desalination of ocean water. Land Use Barrio Logan is organized in a manner that prioritizes its residential and commercial communities. In the Barrio Logan Community Plan, the commercial and residential zones are the heart of the community and are framed by major streets and key sightlines. The development of these zones is driven by multi-family development but is restricted by the large, industrialized zones. Near the waterfront, the land is reserved for heavy industrial and military development, primarily the San Diego Naval Base. The industrial and military development of the land has forced awkward circumstances on the existing community as some residents find themselves living next door to a boat-building yard. This shows a relative disregard for the existing community present before the industrial development. Additionally, the proximity of the Naval Base has sparked development that further imposes on the Barrio Logan Community such as a need for naval lodging. Barrio Logan has been forced to adapt and integrate these waterfront industrial conditions. Transportation The site is located adjacent to the I-5 and the Coronado Bridge, making it a hub for vehicle transportation. Through the site, there are two modes of public transportation that circulate. Trolleys and buses run alongside cyclist lanes. There are anticipated road improvements to enhance mobility and connectivity in the community such as the Draft Mobility Element that is meant to make walking, biking, and public transit more attractive in the city, including Barrio Logan. The Draft Mobility Element will work alongside the developing land use of the community to create a more vibrant and accessible neighborhood through the growth of the community’s interconnections.

The Draft Mobility Element will work alongside the developing land use of the community to create a more vibrant and accessible neighborhood through the growth of the community’s interconnections. Resource Availability Logan Heights benefits from coastal air, and its proximity to the Pacific Ocean. The coastal winds can easily be utilized in passive design strategies for individual buildings as well as energy generation for the city. Offshore wind and hydroelectric farms have great potential in powering the city but have received pushback from the city power suppliers like San Diego Gas & Electric Company. Gas and electricity are provided by the San Diego Gas & Electric Company. SDG&E has substantial investment in the Barrio Logan community. One of the utility’s major power stations in the San Diego region is in Barrio Logan. This station is identified as the Silvergate substation, located west of Harbor Drive at Sampson Street.

Barrio Logan’s coastal proximity means that there are plans to preserve the marine vegetation (algae and marine grasses) for the preservation of marine wildlife. Despite the lack of rainwater, the coastal climate can support succulents, such as artichoke agave and the Mexican fencepost cactus. Various wildflowers can also thrive here, such as

EXISTING TOPOGRAPHY 40

the Arroyo Lupine, the Goodding’s Verbena, the Bush Anemone, as well as Texas Sundrops. The Chaste tree and Phoenix Mesquite are among trees that San Diego’s climate supports. In the right conditions, San Diego can be quite lush as is seen in Fern Canyon in the San Diego Zoo and Balboa Park. Wildlife Again, due to intense development of Barrio Logan, much of the wildlife has been pushed back to canyons that are more inland. Among these include coyotes, deer, and other mammals. Birdlife is most prominent there, with 430 bird species in San Diego County. Six miles south of the community is a habitat for rare and endangered bird species. The biggest factor that contributed to the decrease in biodiversity (especially in north and central San Diego) is growing infrastructure and dumping of waste. Most prominent are oil spills and ship waste. This has highly impacted marine wildlife of the area, which includes dolphins, otters, and sea lions. Topography The site is effectively flat and continues this way to the bay to the west and south. The elevation increases well beyond the site boundary to the north and east. Balboa Park is built on top of a hill while it spreads out into the many canyons that stretch from it. Climate San Diego has a diurnal swing of about 35 degrees Fahrenheit with a mean temperature of about 65-70 degrees. This puts San Diego in the comfort zone for a major portion of the year: June to November. Summer months see a slight increase to about 75 degrees, but the temperature remains unwavering for much of the year. Its climate makes it ideal for certain design strategies including internal heat gain and solar direct gain. Sun shading is necessary for higher sun angles during the summer months. San Diego’s wind is cold and primarily comes from the northwest. JULIETTE FOURNIER | MAYA ROSEN | STUDIO WHITE | ARCH-352/353 | WINTER/SPRING 2022

HOW MIGHT WE GOALS Community - How might we reflect global context within local design? - Globally, how might we respond to humanitarian issues such as immigration and mass incarceration through quantitative research and qualitative application? Locally, how might we design as “a part” of the community rather than “apart” from it, both visually and spatially? Additionally, how might we create a strong campus environment and identity while still welcoming those in need? Clients

How might we design to promote student physical and mental well-being through the organization and development of spaces for both student and community interaction? Service How might we emphasize the architect’s and law student’s responsibility to serve through building design?

CAMPUS PLANNING BEST PRACTICES Upon analysis and review of other universities, it was concluded that important qualities that exist for a campus plan to be successful must be reflected. Our project seeks to prioritize the experiences of the law students and Latin American immigrants who will predominantly be utilizing these campus spaces. On the other hand, we also wish to create a transitional experience from the public to private through landscaping features that introduces biophilic design. Furthermore, the qualities and characteristics of a campus plan that are of greatest interest to our project include: (1) responding to environmental and cultural context, (2) implementing transitional spaces, (3) introducing biophilic design, and (4) designing with continuity to encourage community. The best practices we have outlined for our site and project include: Biophilic Design Implementation of vegetation – including deciduous trees and shrubs with an emphasis on those that provide food Landscape design that seeks to engage communities Landscape and vegetation that encourages health and wellbeing of project’s users Thresholds Transitions within the campus in order to encourage interaction between the interior and exterior environments Distinctions between spaces Dynamic buffers within a space to elevate the user’s experience. Sense of Community Create central nodes or quads that allow for various student or regional communities to cross paths and engage with one another Provide buffer zones for students to study or rest between classes. Provide landscape features whilst implementing seating that enables people to sit and engage in conversations Environment and Cultural Context Understand the environmental capacities of a site while implementing design strategies to address site conditions Understand the cultural context of where a project resides and how to contribute in a respectful way Encourage community engagement with local communities

CAMPUS COMPARISONS

Duke University School of Law

A Nolli map is a figure ground drawing that aided in developing our campus plan. These plan drawings help to distinguish private, semiprivate, and public places from each other and clearly differentiate space from mass using black and white to represent the area being studied. We used several Nolli maps to help inform the flow of spaces on our campus and identify the ideal qualities of a law school campus. Some of the specific campus functional elements we would like to emulate were determined to be on these nine campuses:

Students are expected to live off-campus, while the law school features many sheltered outdoor spaces for students to relax and study. Its clinic wing is designed as a separate law office that fosters trust between law students and clients because it offers a space to meet confidentially. Notre Dame Law School This campus creates community through large library reading areas as well as “living rooms” for student and teacher interaction. It utilizes large grassy lawns for social spaces and provides housing for graduate students and their families on campus.

The campus provides its students with living facilities (such as childcare, a fitness center, and housing for 300 students) to support students’ educational excellence. This is in addition to the classrooms, clinic spaces, and an expensive library. The proximity to national buildings and public transportation also encourages immersion into the extracurricular activities that D.C. has

THE PROJECT | THE COURTYARD

CHAPTER 5 THE PROJECT!

PROJECT PURPOSE The CourtYard provides essential wellness support services for the community of Barrio Logan and the students of Cal Western School of Law. The building is designed to create a safe and mentally freeing space, in contrast to the stressful environment of law school. To support all aspects of community, student, faculty, and staff life, the bilingual daycare provides caring and supportive services to allow parents to focus on their work while feeling reassured that their children are being cared for. Proximity to a primarily Hispanic community influenced the decision to make the daycare bilingual, bridging the cultures between children and their families.

JULIETTE FOURNIER | MAYA ROSEN | STUDIO WHITE | ARCH-352/353 | WINTER/SPRING 2022

PROJECT PROGRAM The CourtYard bridges two potentially conflicting programs: a gym and a bilingual daycare. The gym can be used by all students and members of the community, as can the daycare. Both programs require a level of privacy, especially in the daycare, so perforations and bubble windows provide a visual and acoustic connection. Students can enter the recreation center and wave down at friends climbing the rock wall while on their way to the rooftop pool. Community members can peer down into the basketball court on their walk to the transit center or they can stop at the cafe on their way to work. Parents feel a sense of relief knowing they are leaving their children in a safe and protected space.

PERFORMANCE GOALS + ACCOMPLISHMENTS Since the building will use large amounts of energy to cool and heat spaces, the goal was to help offset the energy use with some energy generation from the building itself and other parts of the campus. The goal is to reach below an EUI of 27 kBtu/ft^2-yr to reach an 80% reduction. To address the energy and water needs, the roof is populated with solar panels to take advantage of the favorable weather conditions to help with on-site energy production. Gym equipment also helps generate energy, enough to offset the heat of the machines and reduce energy needed for cooling the gym. Operable windows and outdoor circulation throughout the building provide natural ventilation into the gym and daycare spaces, again helping to reduce energy consumption. The building reached an EUI of 24 kBtu/ft^2-yr with the help of on-site energy production. To help offset energy use, the campus will incorporate other energy generation methods. Other contributing factors to reducing energy was passive strategies such as overhangs, minimizing WWR on the south and western facades. Wastewater from rain can reach the ground floor through drainage systems, reaching the greenery below. Form

FORMAL DRIVERS Scale of the building was heavily influenced by the site’s immediate context. Since the building is located closest to Barrio Logan,

which is planned to have primarily five-story buildings, the height of the CourtYard matches this, so as to not feel imposing on the community. Its programmatic organization is also heavily influenced by the site. Most of the recreation center is oriented towards the campus side and Commercial Street. Meanwhile, the daycare is oriented more towards the community side, along the side anticipated to have less vehicular and transit traffic. The elevated outdoor daycare space provides an auditory connection to the less vehicular street. Placing the rock-climbing wall and basketball court adjacent to the busier street provides a visual connection into those activity-heavy spaces. To make the most of San Diego’s climate, the outdoor pool is located to the south, on the rooftop of the building. Playful aspects in the daycare introduce themselves in the recreation center to create a more playful and relaxing space. JULIETTE FOURNIER | MAYA ROSEN | STUDIO WHITE | ARCH-352/353 | WINTER/SPRING 2022

STRUCTURAL Due to the long spans and structural needs of the building, the building is supported by a steel and concrete structure. Gravity loads are supported by tube steel columns encased in concrete for fireproofing, as well as concrete bearing walls. Steel columns are spaced between 25-30’ spans, connected by steel wide-flange beams and girders. In spaces with longer spans, such as the basketball court and rock-climbing wall, steel trusses support the spaces above. To support the heavy loads of the rooftop pool, the floor below allows room for the necessary structural supports. Concrete shear walls and moment frames provide lateral support.

IN REFLECTION Going through the process of a two-quarter studio confronted me with new design challenges and new aspects to consider in the building process. Faced with a sensitive and diverse client base, which requires sensitivity in the design of the building and the campus as a whole. At the start of the quarter, the goal was to understand and address the client’s requirements through understanding and empathetic design. This philosophy has not changed since the start of the quarter and was a factor we considered throughout the design process. From the start of the quarter, the intention was to create a welcoming environment for students, children and the surrounding community. With more time, receiving more opinions from actual community members who would frequent the space (such as students, immigrant populations, etc) would have been helpful to better accomplishing the initial intention we had. An building’s design can has a profound impact on its surroundings and users, in a positive or negative way. In approaching how to design for these clients, we first researched these individual communites, especially immigrant populations, to try to understand why they may be coming to the US. Simultaneously, we did research to understand what entails a successful college campus. However, hard data only does so much to inform what the desires of a group actually are. Multiple reviews and outside opinions were incredibly valuable to helping offset our own biases and sparking new ways to bring our intentions across. Looking back, it would’ve been incredibly helpful to start with a precedent that wasn’t necessarily a building, but more informed by forms around the site. One aspect of studio that helps me significantly with concept development is abstraction of an idea or intention, and usually physical models are the most beneficial. Focusing on a specific aspect at the start of spring was extremely beneficial in understanding our project and intentions from an exterior perspective. This would have been something I would’ve wanted to do earlier in the quarter for idea generation, since building precedents were not helpful yet at this phase of the project. Ideally, I would want to balance the more creative design phase initially with a more practical approach later. It was challenging to design iteratively without having a form to start with. Student reviews from upper years was something that I hadn’t thought about trying, but something that was incredibly beneficial in the long run. It felt like they could be more honest and were more willing to provide more concrete suggestions, which significantly impacted the way we approached our project and its goals later in the double-quarter. Definetely, our biggest challenge as we approached the project was the programmatic breakdown and connection between the two programs. I am glad that we followed through with the challenge, since it helped us explore and understand the best way to approach it. One frustration we had was the suggestion to look at precedents since we couldn’t find any. Rather than accepting the defeat that these programs are simply incompatible, it helped us explore other ways to connect programs without a physical connection.

01 - STORY LEERS WEINZAPFEL ASSOCIATES Leers Weinzapfel Associates is an award winning architecture firm that is driven by making wonderful architecture for the public realm, while maintaining a collaborative and diverse work environment. Each project focuses on four main points: the human experience, being grounded in context, devotion to the art of building, and a project-specific process. Designs also come together from multiple disciplines within the field to create each of their projects, resulting in highly sustainable projects. These projects tend to be LEED Gold Certified university halls and labs located in the New England region. The buildings themselves usually show structure and utilize cross laminated timber. Additionally, their buildings are naturally lit, bright on both the interior and exterior, and aesthetically pleasing. The John Olver Design Building is the perfect example of what their design goals and ideas encompass.

PROJECT BACKGROUND The John W. Olver Design Building was built for the University of Massachusetts in Amherst as a setting that would merge previously separated Architecture, Landscape Architecture & Regional Planning, and Building & Construction Technology programs into one facility for collaboration and joint learning. In addition to a public rooftop courtyard (which features plants native to the Northeast) the designers use a vertical slatted structure which was inspired by Amherst’s historical traditional wooden tobacco barn structures. The building is surrounded with drought tolerant landscaping which requires little maintenance. The John W. Olver Design Building is located between the arts campus and the science campus, bridging the two campuses together. Its programmatic elements include administrative offices, workshops, classrooms, studios, a cafe, lab space, a gallery, and a central atrium. The building utilizes crosslaminated timber in its structural system which greatly reduces its carbon footprint. The 87,573 sq ft. project began construction in March of 2015 and was completed in January of 2017, costing UMASS $52 million.

SITE STUDY

CLIMATE

There are two main entry points on the east and west faces of the structure. This project eases the transition threshold between public and private through the use of open outdoor space on both of these sides of the exterior. The integrated vegetation and pathways welcome those coming from sidewalks and streets to the building itself. The landscaping stays low-maintenance by using largely drought-tolerant and native species. A light material with a high SRI is used for the roof as well as the hardscape to avoid making this area extremely hot. A large public atrium leads into more private studios and offices, as well as a public rooftop garden on the top floor.

Amherst has a temperate climate with warm summers and cold winters. The climate consists of high temperatures in the summer months and heavy rainfall and snowfall in the winter months. Set in the New England climate, the John W. Olver Design Building reacts to conditions with a series of climate specific influences. Radiant floor, wall panels, and ceiling provide heat in colder temperatures, while operable windows lower energy usage when temperatures are more mild. A high performance envelope keeps harsh weather out, while shaded glazing lowers solar heat gain alongside skylights with daylight dimming controls to minimize energy usage for cooling demands. The primary wind comes from the south-western direction, which impacts the orientation of the building as well.

04 - STRUCTURE

MASS TIMBER CONSTRUCTION In order to create an environmentally friendly and aesthetically successful building, the Design Building makes use of a mass timber structural system. Currently, the building is the most advanced, contemporary mass timber building in the country, with the largest timber frame structure in the Northeast. Glulam timber posts and beams are aligned in a grid system, with a cross laminated timber roof decking. A glulam-steel zipper truss allows for a 40’ atrium span and a rooftop garden sitting above. With a second story cantilever, steel beams with wood cladding provide the necessary support. Cross laminated timber shear walls serve the structure and house support spaces for the building. The structure is exposed and reveals the large wooden members that are supporting the building. There is steel lateral cross bracing at the ends of the building to support the building for wind and earthquakes. A concrete foundation and composite concrete CLT floor structure helps with radial floor heating to heat the building.

05 - CIRCULATION

EGRESS

Entry takes place on the east and west facades of the building, with an experiential stair connecting the first and second floor along the atrium. Private programmatic functions are situated on the perimeter, resulting in a radial circulation pattern on the floors. Vertical circulation in the form of elevators and stairwells stay stagnant, which adds more predictability to the otherwise variable circulation network. Exit access is available in the form of two enclosed stairwells on opposing sides of the building, allowing for easy access to the main exits. One of the staircases also opens directly to the outside of the building on the east face. The elevator is located near one egress set of stairs for practicality. DZENGELEWSKI, FOURNIER, HUNT, ROSEN

Particularly, the south-western and western facades bring significant daylight into the space, with the help of large windows and light streaming in from the skylights and windows on the rooftop garden. Most spaces are relatively well daylit, particularly studio spaces and office spaces. Overall, the EUI of this building is 39.98 kBtu/sq.ft/yr. Knowing that the building is LEED Gold Certified, but that the analysis indicates a failing ASE value, it’s clear there are faults in the analysis due to some key elements that are not accounted for. For instance, the west and southwestern facades use high performance glazing called “smart glass” which is intended to address shading. Interior walls were not accounted for either. These both significantly decrease the ASE value. DZENGELEWSKI, FOURNIER, HUNT, ROSEN

Other methods include radiant slab heating to increase temperatures indoors, an open atrium for natural ventilation, and an outdoor rooftop garden.

ACTIVE SYSTEM The HVAC systems are separated into the air side and hydronic side, then further divided into four groups. Each zone addresses different programs that require different levels of ventilation. Air Handling Unit (AHU) 1 serves the studios and classrooms. AHU 2 serves the south wing faculty and administrative offices. AHU 3 serves the atrium and central core. AHU 4 serves the wood lab and shop, along with the fabrication lab. All groups utilize a forced air system, while AHU 2 also uses the hydronic system. Energy consumption reductions are implemented in all units. All rooms have an occupant and sensor controlled thermostat system that makes adjustments to temperature, humidity, and percentage of fresh air. These systems work within the geometric areas of the building created by the programs and remain concealed in the floor. Designated vertical locations are located throughout the building for the elements, while horizontal distribution is located between floors. DZENGELEWSKI, FOURNIER, HUNT, ROSEN

DZENGELEWSKI, FOURNIER, HUNT, ROSEN

Our first interaction with the John W Olver Design Building occurred this past spring. From the architect’s lecture on the project, the piece that stood out the most about the building was the zipper truss. It was a technology that we had never encountered, as well as the selling point of the building. As we dove into the project, the rooftop garden peaked our interest. It emphasized the complexity of the truss structure underneath to hold heavy loads while allowing for an open atrium space below. Further research resulted in greater appreciation for the smaller elements implemented within the building. Simple decisions have profound effects that make it environmentally and aesthetically efficient. Programs on the perimeter helps daylight the more used spaces while a central circulation seamlessly bridges all of the programs together. A separation of smaller private spaces from larger public spaces reflects the systems used. It was notable how all of the systems pieced together and did not collide when creating our diagrams. One caveat to our analysis was a cove tool inaccuracy. We did not include interior walls which would raise the EUI. However, we were amazed by the building’s LEED gold certification despite a few walls of glass. This confirmed how the building was intentionally placed on its site, amplifying the user experience. In conclusion, our group was both pleasantly surprised and inspired by the John W Olver Design Building. We hope to take the thinking process, methods, and resources from this design and apply it towards future studio projects.

Ask, Understand, Act

Juliette Fournier Studio White Winter 2022 1.4.2022

As architects, it’s vital to create designs guided by an understanding of the community/ client it serves. Above all else, respect, consent, and listening are requirements towards creating successful civic architecture. Beyond the scope of the specific community, the architect must also take responsibility for any climate and technical implications that come with their proposal. Arguably, a critical mistake architects must avoid is overstepping boundaries. This point is especially emphasized in “Designing Like You Give a Damn- About What Exactly?” where Nikki Linsell criticizes architects for thinking “they are the ones with the appropriate knowledge and expertise,” but only from their own biases (Linsell 614). Under every circumstance, its likely the client understands their needs better than the architect. In certain areas, people of the area will have better awareness of local building customs and culture than an outsider. Architects must be willing to learn from the community they are serving, not simply impose their ideas thinking they have the superior knowledge. While the architect should absolutely provide suggestions and use their knowledge, it’s vital to not only ensure the client understands those implications. Consent is also necessary in multiple aspects of the process, particularly in the design process. Lack of consent runs the risk of becoming “the new imperialism,” as Linsell calls it, but also of making something unusable (610). Clients and communities must have active involvement in the process at the risk of designing a structure that someone will never use. Linsell provides an example of brick homes that were “left uninhabited” by the local population, designed completely differently from the local construction (616). Beyond simply being a waste of resources, if architects truly want to provide their services, the important decisions must come from the client (what will make it feel like a home and what is important to consider/include in this case). As students, its sometimes feels like “letting a building evolve out of the culture and place” cheating; we want to invent something new, complex, or go wilder and crazier (Rural Studio 2). Unlike in the Rural Studio, it’s not common to work one-on-one with a client in school, and we learn to make assumptions based on our personal experiences. Therefore, the organization of the education system itself enforces the reliance on our biases, not necessarily seeking whether they are actually valid. The organization of Rural Studio forces students to actually work with clients, in this case people who are often not actually treated as clients. A student mentioned learning to “know and respect… and empathize” from working in the studio (3). Fundamentally, our role as architects requires a fundamental respect and understanding of the clients and their needs. Realistically, it’s impossible to ignore our biases and prior knowledge of our own culture, which either beneficial or detrimental. Working effectively and successfully for architects is benefited by experiencing it ourselves. One solution is to just “’stay home’” or “work with what you know.” This approach of “design localism” doesn’t feel like a viable philosophy architects should aspire to (Linsell 616). It feels a bit too extreme to say that one’s lack of experience with other cultures means they shouldn’t help them. Rather, an architect must experience and understand the people they are working for. As a solution, architects could immerse themselves in the culture a few weeks/ months, work with a local architect, and most importantly, DO THEIR RESEARCH. Having a better sense of how the clients experience their day-to-day lives creates an architect that has a much better understanding of their clients needs. Understand before taking action. Action becomes problematic when “help” wasn’t deemed necessary or helpful by the people it’s intended to aid.

Juliette Fournier Studio White Winter 2022 1.4.2022

On the other hand, even in staying “local,” mutual empathy and respect are not an option, but a necessity. It may be easier than having to learn the quirks and customs of a whole new culture, thus it likely makes the process easier. Rural Studio does exactly that, focusing on members of the surrounding community, but even then, they do not IMPOSE their ideas onto the client. Working and listening with the client ensures they get what they want and makes them feel more involved in the whole process. Listening is one of those skills also crucial to successful architecture. Linsell brings up the “yes problem,” where a culture is happy to get something for free, even if they don’t really need it. Rather than suggesting what a place may need, asking questions should be the first step. Again, it comes down to avoiding assumptions. Particularly when working with other cultures, our needs may (and likely do) differ. It’s also important to ask yourself, did they even ask? One of the major problems with western civilization is that we assume our living style is superior. Thus, we assume that what we “need” is needed by all surrounding societies. As a general rule, if they didn’t ask, don’t interfere. Historically, it seems to cause more harm than good.

Addressing climate becomes a point where the architect should have hearsay. The documentary “Climate Refugees” also mentions the significant gap between what the “law provides and what the world needs” (Climate Refugees). Architects take part in this too, especially with the construction industry playing such a large role in carbon emissions. Sustainable design is one area that an architect’s role should overrule the client. Realistically, the issue of climate change surpasses a single client’s opinion. “Climate Refugees” emphasized we have to “try to avoid the problem” rather than having to fix it later, but it’s too late for that. Even Rule 2.401 in the AIA Handbook is too lenient. It’s phrasing, “members shall make a reasonable effort to inform their clients of potential environmental impacts,” gives too much liberty for the client to disagree (2020 Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct 3). If cost-wise the price is similar, it should be the default. Conversely, architects should still have the willingness to listen to the client, for their culture may provide a solution that is as efficient or can be incorporated. It is the architect’s responsibility to ensure that what they are building has a minimal carbon footprint but still meets the requirements of the client. We clearly have the knowledge of how to apply local materials/ recycled materials to create successful structures, as illustrated by the Rural Studio. They make use of “donated, salvaged, and recycled materials. It helps bring the costs down significantly (Rural Studio 9). Architects play a role that essentially requires care towards the needs of their client. No successful architect creates something purely from their own thoughts and ideas. Civic architecture, any architecture, requires an architect that above all respects the needs of their client and addresses the larger impact of their work. Regardless, climate change remains the one factor that is non-negotiable.

Cuidado Wellness Complex Juliette Fournier | ARCH 352 | Studio White Programs: Gym, Health and Wellness Center, Childcare, Dining

In consideration of the larger community and campus overall, this building serves as a service to both students and the surrounding community. Its programmatic allocations create a building that will be actively used throughout the day and are catered to the wellness of the community it serves. Including a bilingual childcare provides connection to the existing predominantly Hispanic population of the area. Incorporating the gym and wellness center nearby enables easy access to both the student body, but a seperation from their study spaces as well. A cafe and lounge area creates a place of connection between students and beyond the campus. Its name “cuidado” means care, in that the complex takes care of the population it serves. Experience Student Perspective Law student Jamie has been experiencing insomnia and severe exhaustion recently, but can’t figure out the cause. He decides to head to the health center to meet with one of the on-campus doctors. The entrance looks welcoming, surrounded by trees, and its entry is filled with light and plants. His patient room is fully private, with a clearstory window to let some natural light in. When the doctor tells him exercise may be a helpful de-stresser and to pick up some sleep medication, Jamie quickly stops by the pharmacy in the health center, before walking into the adjacent gym. He decides to go swimming at the pool, and makes his way up through the peaceful gym to step outside onto the roof. Natalia, a single mother of two toddlers, wants to ensure her kids learn and speak Spanish, so she speaks to them in Spanish at home. So learning about the new bilingual daycare the law schools new campus seemed like the perfect option for a more stable childcare. She walks past the cafe, noting the wonderful smell of coffee, and makes her way up through the lively corridor and into the more private childcare. As she tours the childcare, she hears laughter from the kids playing outside, contrasted by the children painting in the colorful playspace. She’s happy to know her kids are in a safe space just steps away from her classes.

unserved. The reason people choose between helping those struggling and those who are thriving is the money. Comparatively, it is similarly difficult to build a high-end apartment building versus a low-income housing unit, but there are so many more high-end apartment buildings already, or in the process of being, built because construction companies will get more in return financially for their services. It is disappointing, yet not surprising that most construction companies want to make money more than they want to help their community. I think many people have their priorities twisted; I want to be fulfilled by what I design and create outside of the financial benefits of the project.

As a student who still has a lot to learn and a whole life ahead of them in a career after graduation, I am excited to change the way our generation is looking at our industry. I hope that I am able to make a little bit of a difference in communities near and far without being tempted by greed and wealth. As architects, we spend our careers helping people and doing what they want, and I think it is important we help those who cannot ask for it, which is why I want to focus my career on designing for the environment and for the people who cannot afford to ask for help.

Project Description

Goals for the Quarter + Schedule

As students spend most of their time learning and helping the community, it is our opportunity to support them through their challenging work. We aim to create a refuge from the stressful environment of law school. Adding a gym allows them to relieve physical stress and clear their minds. A daycare offers a safe space for children to stay while students focalize themselves on their work. For immigrants and the falsely accused, having free family support enables their energy and attention to be completely focused without additional stresses and distractions. And having students’ and faculties’ minds free of childcare allows students to focus their attention on their clients’ needs. Additional student support spaces bridges these spaces together, promoting interaction between the campus community and the population of Barrio Logan. We plan to continue with our moonshots, incorporating the gym portion of Juliette’s program with Maya’s study/public space. Outdoor circulation and patios are features we want to incorporate, along with a large ARC Hto 352: C itizethe n Arccommunity hite c t central space bring together. We want to incorporate screens/ light filters as a way to Na m e Yo u r Pro je c t divide spaces visually to enable privacy between programs without fully blocking out the auditory connector.

Through designing our recreational center we hope to provide support services to students and the community. We aim to create a safe and mentally freeing space for children and adults. We are asking ourselves how might we create an environment that is welcoming to the public that also creates a safe place for the student population and children? Our goal is to be a bridge between the student body and the surrounding community through a leisure space. We hope our space benefits the campus and the community around it.

As we serve the students, community and their children, we want all to feel welcome and safe in our space. Regarding the students, we want students to have an escape from the stress of classes and their daily lives. Students will enter the space and look down to the rock wall and wave at a friend mid climb. Community members will walk passed the basketball court seeing their neighbors play a 2 on 2 game with students. Children will walk into a bright and playful space filled with laughter from the rooms above. Parents feel a sense of relief as they know they are leaving their children in a safe and protected space.

Write a brief summary of SITE here. Our site creates the threshold between Barrio Logan and Downtown San Diego. As a result, our law campus bridges the two together. Regarding the climate, San Diego has a warm marine climate, warmest in the summer months, with little fluxuation in temperature throughout the year. Its wind is predominantly from the NW direction. The weather is condusive to certain passive strategies including: sun shading of windows, internal heat gain, natural cooling ventilation, and solar direct gain. Due to the dual bordering communities, our site isn’t technically part of either its neighbors. That being said, community was considered in the design. In response to the bordering Barrio Logan community, our project incorporates a bilingual daycare (due to the predominantly Hispanic community). The building is 5 stories tall to match those that will appear in the future. Furthermore, programmatic functions were considered based on proximity to large roads, versus the Barrio Logan community, versus the campus. CONSIDERING SITE CONTEXT FOR MASSING PARTI DIAGRAM

Juliette Fournier

What is the primary structural material and system (steel frame, mass, timber, etc.) and why? What is the basic configuration of the structural system in plan and section, and why? What special spaces might require a long span structural system, and why?

11 Winter 2022

Studio Stacey White

Our structural system requires large spans across a basketball court, pool and rock climbing wall, with one that cannot have columns interrupting the space. Thus, we decided a steel structural system would be most appropriate. The marine climate of San Diego also warrants the structure to need some protectant coat to minimize corrosion from the moist, salty marine air. Concrete will coat exposed steel, particularly on the lower ceilings.

Juliette Fournier

Studio Stacey White

12 Winter 2022

Write a brief summary of SKIN here. While skin has been a brief consideration, multiple aspects of the facade integrate our concept of playfulness. A perforated bubble facade/ screen is one skin aspect we’ve started to play with to address strong daylighting from the south and to create a dynamic pattern within playspaces and activity spaces. Exterior environments are intended to be calm and natural with use of plants and a rooftop pool. Materials that are weather-resistant are most important, so wood is not an option. However, materials like brick, steel, or materials native to San Diego have been considered. Each building face has a varying mass-glass ratio. North-east has the most glass, due to little direct light entering and overheating spaces. The south-east has the second greatest amount to still allow light into spaces. However a perforated screen will be incorporated. To the south-west and north-west, fewer windows are present to avoid overheating. Some are inset to still allow light to enter spaces but to allow for adequate shading. SOLAR RESPONSE

How are spaces organized and sized in relation to their program, each other, and circulation, and why? How are spaces designed to harness and control daylight, and why? How have you allocated space for services such as restrooms, mechanical rooms, and storage, and why?

Studio Stacey White

13 Winter 2022

Write a brief summary of SPACE here. Three programs require a massive amount of space and coordination: the pool, the basketball court, and the rock wall. These three programs largely dictated the layout of spaces. Both the basketball court and rockwall submerge and create double or triple height spaces. The pool’s location is most ideal for southern sun and privacy, resulting in placing it on the roof. The daycare and gym both require high levels of privacy and security, posing a challenge to organizing them under one building. The daycare was placed most south while the gym recedes closer to the north. Restrooms, elevators and storage have been accounted for, largely concentrated to the NW portion of the building, since its recieves less light. Their locations also were dependent on the leftover space after the pool and larger programs were placed. PROGRAMMATIC FUNCTIONS PARTI DIAGRAM

5_DESIGN FOR CIRCULATION What is the experience of approaching from the edge of the site and entering the building, and why? How do vertical and horizontal circulation worth together to create a network of movement, and why? What method(s) of conveyance is used to move air, heat, water, and waste through the building, and why?

Juliette Fournier

Studio Stacey White

14 Winter 2022

Write a brief summary of CIRCULATION here. In designing, the primary entrance was placed close to the core of the campus so as to illustrate make it accessible to students. However, people passing from the street side can look into the basketball court and rockclimbing wall, as a way to bring the public in. The daycare entrance is seperate from the gym entrance to create ease and privacy for dropping off kids. As one circulates the gym, it is primarily open with views onto the rock wall from several floors. The top two floors are primarily intended for outdoor circulation, which two outdoor egress stairs lead straight up to. Currently, the circulation requires a bit more improvement to connect the spaces a bit better, especially in the gym. Most of the systems that move air, heat, water, etc are tucked away to make them the least visible part of the building.

SYSTEMS INTEGRATION REPORT

Juliette Fournier | ARCH 307-05 | Studio White | Winter 2022 In Collaboration with Maya Rosen 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In observing the successful typologies from Labs 2 and 3, we found that an L-shaped and U-shaped typology yielded the most successful EUIs. Therefore, as we considered our massing, out floors started to be shaped through a similar typology. Double height spaces are used within our building to allow light to penetrate into the building, particularly on the first two floors. In considering energy, we incorporated some outdoor occupancy and outdoor circulation spaces to minimize energy used within these spaces. Windows are concentrated on the east and north facade, and perforated screens will cover our large south and west-facing windows. Greenery on every floor also provides additional shading and cooling. Our structural system requires large spans across a basketball court, pool and rock climbing wall, with one that cannot have columns interrupting the space. Thus, we decided a steel structural system would be most appropriate. The marine climate of San Diego also warrants the structure to need some protectant coat to minimize corrosion from the moist, salty marine air. Concrete will coat exposed steel, particularly on the lower ceilings. In approaching our project, we were faced with the advantage of an angled site at about 40 degrees, which provides ideal basis for addressing the issue of daylight control and heat control. Ventilation was addressed with use of outdoor spaces present on every floor, as well as operable windows scattered along the facade. Ideally, we would likely add more operable windows along the NW facade where wind is most prominent as we continue the project. Our rooftop pool will likely also serve as a cooling mechanism for the building. Lab 4 also made us think that incorporating the pool’s moving water as a light filter would create a dynamic effect on spaces below it. Bubble screens are another factor of our building that will creating a dynamic interior lighting condition. Based on Lab 1, natural ventilation and sun shading help most with cooling the building. While our building currently lacks louvers, we started to inset floor and windows so that the floors above create some sun shading for the building. Heat gain shouldn’t be an issue for the gym portion of the building, which accumulates heat from body heat quickly. By contrast, the daycare will require some passive heat gain (especially over summer), which influenced its placement towards the southern side of the building. Our pool provides additional cooling through the absorption of some heat, keeping the building cooler below. Due to our programmatic functions, the building system will require an air-based system. However, we will have to allocate the space for it in Spring. Likely, its placement will be near our core by the gym, since this space will require the active system the most. A central plant was another consideration for our studio, which would reduce the need to allocate as much square footage within the building itself. In spring, we are building towards a lower EUI with the help of solar panels on the roof and as shading for the rooftop pool. Colored glass/ apertures are another area of play we wanted to potentially incorporate to support our goal of a playful space.

Based on our EUI target, we were able to achieve an ideal EUI for our building. Using Insight360, our EUI started out at 54 kBtu/ft^2/yr. However, adjusting some of the settings, we were able get a more accurate picture of our EUI: 17.8. This falls under our target EUI of 27 which means our building is performing well. Based on Lab 3, we followed through with less floors (about 5-6 stories) and varied floor to floor heights. Due to our programmatic need, the ceilings are required to be higher, which will increase floor to floor height compared to what was predicted in Lab 3. Lab’s 2 and 3 concluded that L and U typologies are most effective for EUI, which we don’t quite implement in our building. This may help reduce our EUI even more. Our model assumes 60-100% PV coverage on the roof, which helped to significantly reduce our EUI. At the highest PV coverage of 90-100%, we were able to reduce our EUI even further to 10.9. The largest energy consumer by far is the HVAC system. Since our system is a VAV system, its impact keeps our EUI higher than if we used a water-based system. Operating schedule also played a large factor, since a place like a rec center usually stays open 7 days a week for 12-18 hours. Thus the building is in use longer, requiring more energyy to stay running. Especially with a gym, our energy use may be higher than predicted due to the high need for constant ventilation within the building.

located off site elsewhere on the campus we have a central plant that services all buildings on the campus

In designing, we assumed a central mechanical plant would provide all energy to our building. However, we have yet to account for an AHU unit. Distribution ducts and pipes will impact the FF height, which we accounted for in the elevation of our ceilings. 3 traction elevators are centrally placed at the core of the building

4. STRUCTURAL GRID/ ORGANIZATION The structure of our building will likely be steel construction to address the long spans necessary for the basketball court and rock wall. Below the pool will also require strong structural support, not just immediately below it, but following down to the foundation. Maya and I started to lay out our structural grid with an approximate 20-30’ span. Currently, our grid is not completely even between each bay. Our A-E grid is split into two, with half the building using a 32’ span, and the other half a 25’ span. The 1-6 grid is a 30’ span for most, except the two edges. This results an approximately a 24” girder, or 18” beam which will have to be considered as part of the ceiling. A protection will have to be accounted for as well for fire safety. We will have to address the variations in span in ARCE 316 next quarter as our building continues to evolve structurally. We will also have to consider methods of spanning the larger spaces. Currently, a truss structure over the basketball court and playground feels the most feasible. In ARCE 316, we also will want to address how to support the pool’s massive load and plumbing, while potentially maintaining some transparency for interesting daylighting qualities below.

Project Description As students spend most of their time learning and helping the community, it is our opportunity to support them through their challenging work. We aim to create a refuge from the stressful environment of law school. Adding a gym allows them to relieve physical stress and clear their minds. A daycare offers a safe space for children to stay while students focalize themselves on their work. For immigrants and the falsely accused, having free family support enables their energy and attention to be completely focused without additional stresses and distractions. And having students’ and faculties’ minds free of childcare allows students to focus their attention on their clients’ needs. Additional student support spaces bridges these spaces together, promoting interaction between the campus community and the population of Barrio Logan. We plan to continue with our moonshots, incorporating the gym portion of Juliette’s program with Maya’s study/public space. Outdoor circulation and patios are features we want to incorporate, along with a large ARC Hto 352: C itizethe n Arccommunity hite c t central space bring together. We want to incorporate screens/ light filters as a way to Na m e Yo u r Pro je c t divide spaces visually to enable privacy between programs without fully blocking out the auditory connector.

On Woxsen University’s campus, this building comprises the library, which makes up 50000 sq. ft. The design made use of double-height spaces to create the illusion of every space being one level and to maintain visibility. This also allowed for increased ventilation and light within the space. Planters along the exterior help to accomodate glare, maintain a cooler environment, and create a natural screen. It makes use of an open-plan concept to accomodate a coffee shop, reading nooks, and social flex space within.

Due to the hot and dry, this university gym has and East-West orientation which makes it highly succeptible to overheating. The plan is simply five intersecting circles containing different sports activities. To address the hot climate, the facades are three layers: the first is a ceramic tile light filter to allow light, creating a dynamic interior. The second layer shelters an interior garden to increase cooling inside. The final layer is clear glass pivoting frams that allow for mechanical cooling if necessary. Use of thermo acoustic tiles oon the roof help against excessive heat.

Our studio revolves around the design of a law school for 1000 students. These students have to tackle challenging issues of mass incarceration and immigration, on top of a law school curriculum. Furthermore, our site borders two areas of San Diego, an area that has a dense homeless population. In approaching how to design for these clients, we first researched these individual communites, especially immigrant populations, to try to understand why they may be coming to the US. Simultaneously, we did research to understand what entails a successful college campus. Our studio has required teamwork throughout to start compiling a master plan and data. We had the chance to create two iterations of a building before teaming up to better understand which parts of the project to highly consider. Reflect on the state of your design project at the midpoint of the Two Quarter Studio, drawing upon the feedback you received in reviews, discussions with your studio instructor, and your own evaluation of your work. What do you feel are the project’s current strengths and weaknesses?

Currently, the programs and placement are strong and rational. However, what lacks in our current project is the playfulness aspect that we wanted to emphasize. While we have a perforated facade, I think we need to push the idea of perforation/ playfulness into our form to create the desired atmosphere. We started to use circles and curves to bring in that playfulness, but I think we need to push it to the next level. I think circulation may be another important factor to change moving forward. What are some questions you need to answer, or decisions you need to make in order to move your project forward in Spring?

How can we relate back to the Barrio Logan community? How can we mesh two programs that each require a level of privacy/ are somewhat incompatable? How might perforation help to inform what spaces do?

Did ARCH 307 lectures and/or labs influence your thinking or approach in your design studio project this quarter? If so, how?

The labs and lectureres highly influenced my approach this quarter. Specifically, we took the daylighting lab seriously since we want to create playful lighting effects within the daycare and gym spaces. Therefore, we are thinking of using the pool as an interesting lighting source, or playing with perforated screens. Color may be another factor we will incorporate moving forward too. We were also conscious of the structural system later in our project, the elevator and egress placement, as well as the form that maximizes daylighting. Did the ARCH 307 Integrated Section influence your thinking or approach in your design studio project this quarter? If so, how?

Somewhat. I think we could have used it more to create connections between certain spaces, but much of our design still started in plan to ensure our programs could fit within the allocated square footage. It may be a helpful tool next quarter, particularly for thinking of spaces more vertically. Did Common Hour presentations and pin-ups influence your design studio project this quarter, or contribute to your education more broadly? If so, how? Do you have any suggestions for improving Common Hour in the Spring, or in future years?

The pinups were definetely helpful for inspirational and designing this quarter. It’s nice to see what other studios are doing, and to understang what there projects are from a section. It would be helpful for common hour to show how professors each approach

a design challenge. I know certain studios approach it from a more technical standpoint, while others think more from an abstract standpoint. Sharing a glimpse of the professors approach may be useful to get ideas.

Were there other outside influences that informed your design studio project this quarter? This could be other courses you were taking this quarter, previous courses, the Hearst Lecture Series, or things outside of school such as art, current events, personal experiences, etc..

My other coursework was helpful as I was implementing structure this quarter, particularly ARCE 315. ARCH 461 will be extremely helpful to creating the perforated facade we want, and this is something I am excited to implement more moving forward. It may help us with structure of more curved objects as well.

For Winter and Spring quarter we are asked to design a building for a law school campus. This building should benefit the students and the community as a whole. The campus should bridge the space between Downtown and Barrio Logan in San Diego. We started by designing individual buildings with mostly student related program in addition to a “moonshot” which is a program that benefits everyone in the community. After creating the preliminary design for that building, we heard feedback on our projects before we joined forces with another student. Over the last 3 weeks, Juliette and I designed a building by combining aspects from her building’s program with aspects from my building. Reflect on the state of your design project at the midpoint of the Two Quarter Studio, drawing upon the feedback you received in reviews, discussions with your studio instructor, and your own evaluation of your work. What do you feel are the project’s current strengths and weaknesses?

At the start of the project I really struggled to feel connection to the project and program, but after pairing with Juliette I felt that my designing was more purposeful and I was able to connect to it. An aspect of our project that needs some readjusting would be our circulation. We had a lot of large program blocks that we needed to fit within the space, and we made the circulation fit around it. This is not necessarily a large problem, but could be more seamless. The layout of our program is well fit into the site to showcase the rock climbing wall and basketball court to the public. What are some questions you need to answer, or decisions you need to make in order to move your project forward in Spring?

Checking in with Stacey for more direct feedback based on our design and combine that with feedback from our reviews last week would be beneficial to our design process. Moving forward, questions about the performance of perforated screens and how to continue to lower our EUI are questions we are still wondering about. Did ARCH 307 lectures and/or labs influence your thinking or approach in your design studio project this quarter? If so, how?

From Lab 1 we learned the best passive strategies to implement in our building like shading and louvers. We plan on adding louvers next quarter. From Lab 2 and 3 we got our massing form. We learned that L-shaped buildings were effective in lowering EUI and therefore implemented an L-shaped building with lots of outdoor space to being ventilation into the building. From Lab 4 we implemented perforated screens and greenery to change the way light enters the building. By filtering the light we are able to have more glass along the south facing facade without the direct sun and heat entering the space. Did the ARCH 307 Integrated Section influence your thinking or approach in your design studio project this quarter? If so, how?

When making the integrated section, I realized ways I could increase cross ventilation by adding operational windows. In addition to more windows, the rooftop pool also acts as a level of insulation which simultaneously slows heat from entering the building and cools it down. Did Common Hour presentations and pin-ups influence your design studio project this quarter, or contribute to your education more broadly? If so, how? Do you have any suggestions for improving Common Hour in the Spring, or in future years?

Common Hour presentations were not particularly helpful in my opinion. I think implementing more tutorials (maybe in rendering or representation) would be helpful. I enjoyed hearing my peers feedback on my work, but would be more effective if it were in person rather than over zoom or miro.

I struggled at the beginning of the quarter to connect with the site because I was unable to see it in person which negatively impacted my designs for it. But once I got a partner, I was able to connect more. This quarter, I looked at more precedents than I usually do and was able to draw inspiration from them.

DAYLIGHT STRATEGIES

INSET WINDOW

by insetting the windows, it allows for indirect light without the heat from entering the space

WINDOW WITH PARTITION

the window allows light into the space over the partition and on the sides, but the wall blocks the heat from entering the main part of the room

PERFORATED SCREEN

the screen filters the light and heat and slows the enterance into the building

GREENERY

the tree’s leaves and branches slow the heat from entering the building on the south facing facade

HVAC SYSTEM

AIR VENTILATION SHAFT

air brought throught the building via shaft from basement to roof

CENTRAL MECHANICAL PLANT

located off site elsewhere on the campus we have a central plant that services all buildings on the campus

NATURAL VENTILATION STRATEGIES EXTERIOR EGRESS STAIRS outdoor stairs don’t prevent the wind from entering the building, air can still flow through them

NORTHWEST WIND

the wind blows from the northwest and enters the builidng where we have lots of patios and openings to let air flow into the building

Psychrometric Chart and Design Strategies

Sun Shading- Use of horizontal overhangs and vertical louvers to reduce overheating, as well as vegetation and recessed glazed openings.

Internal Heat Gain- A high R-value in the insulation as we as maximizing sun exposure. Keep the envelope of the building to a minimum to Credit: Classroom Prototype, Eleena reduce heat loss. Jamil Architects, 2030 Palette.

Passive Solar Direct Gain High Mass- Using thermal mass to absorb and store heat that is then released at night. Use of masonry that is exposed to solar energy. Credit: Rocky Mountain Institute, Tim Griffith, 2030 Palette.

Natural Ventilation- Provide adequate cross ventilation and stack ventilation to allow proper airflow in and out. Credit: British High Commission, Richard Murphy Architects, 2030 Palette.

Wind directions year-round are prominently coming from the west, likely due to the proximity to the ocean. Due to the lack of surrounding building of this site, wind direction will impact orientation to maximize cross ventilation. According to the sunpath chart, high noon and early afternoon during the summer months will require the most shading to reduce overheating. Maximizing sun from the East or during the winter months would allow some necessary heat gain to attain a comfortable temperature.

My approach was more based around using on shape and manipulating/ isolating individual factors (such as changing the F.F. Height, WWR ratio, or adding a courtyard. On the other hand, my team member took a different 2 5 ÿ we used approach, manipulating the building form/ using a larger variety to explore different typologies. Since different sites, the EUI calculations of mine will likely be more extreme, so certain aspects like a courtyard or 8 5 ÿ9'/ÿ ÿ2.ÿ! ÿ ÿÿ: ;ÿ # open hole only worsened the EUI. Meanwhile, a site like San Diego seems more allowing of this typology. Mason also found a way to significantly reduce the EUI the most by adding multiple stories with relatively low <=>?@AB? CDEÿ9'/ CFFÿG ÿ # WWR and a more rectangular shape. He experimented with the floor height and number of stories for some H=IJ?H EKÿ9'/ EFÿG ÿ # iterations I also experimented with, achieving slightly differing results. Number of heights seemed 0to impact EUI F M2 : 7 L 2 slightly, with a smaller building footprint increasing the EUI slightly. Regardless, we both found WWR plays the <NA@OABJÿ>NQQ=IR most signficant role. A higher ratio seems to correlate to a higher EUI. Next steps would be to see how switching the location we designed for might inform changes in our original typographies. RSNI <NA@OABJ ;
