OUR TASK WAS TO CREATE A NEW EDUCATION BUILDING OF OUR CHOICE FOR ASU USING THE UNION STATION AND THE ADJACENT PARKING G AR AGE IN DOWNTOWN PHOENIX BY COMBINING ADAPTIVE REUSE AND HISTORIC PRESEVATION. UNION STATION WAS ONCE A THRIVING TR AIN STATION WHERE EXCITED TR AVELERS AND FAMILIES ALIKE G ATHERED IN ANTICIPATION FOR THEIR NEXT ADVENTURE. AFTER VISITING THE SITE, I WAS SURPRISED TO EXPERIENCE A ONCE VIBR ANT HUB SO DEAD. IT WAS QUIET, THERE WERE NO PEOPLE AROUND AND THE GROUNDS WERE LITERED. AS I CONTINUED TO WALK AROUND THE SITE, THE DEADNESS WAS INTURRUPTED BY A BUNCH OF FLOURISHING OVERGROWN PRICKLY PEAR CACTI. I BEG AN TO QUESTION HOW THESE HAVE SURVIVED WHEN NOTHING ELSE HAD. I DISCOVERED THAT A C ACTUS SURVIVES BY STORING WATER WITHIN ITS MULITPLE LAYERS OF RUBBERY SKIN, PROTECTING IT FROM THE HARSH SUN AND POSSIBLE DEHYDR ATION. I STARTED TO THINK ABOUT HOW THESE STR ATGIES THAT HAPPEN WITHIN NATURE COULD BE USED TO INFLUENCE ARCHITECTURE. I CREATED A WATER FAÇ ADE THAT USES A R ADIANT COOLING-LIKE TECHNIQUE. ON A PORTION OF THE EAST FAÇ ADE AND THE SOUTH, FROM THE TOP OF THE 7TH FLOOR, DOWN THE GROUND FLOOR, WATER C ASCADES BETWEEN A DOUBLE LAYER GLASS CHANNEL AT A CONSTANT R ATE. WATER IS STORED IN AN UNDERGROUND CHILLER THAT COOLS THE WATER AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS MOST EFFICIENT AND THEN PUMPS THAT WATER UP THROUGH THE FAÇADE DURING THE HOTTEST TIMES OF THE DAY TO COOL THE BUILDING. I PAIRED THIS TECHNIQUE WITH A POLYCARBONATE FAÇ ADE TO ADD AN EXTR A LAYER OF PROTECTION AG AINST THE SUN AS WELL AND TO SELF ILLUMINATE THE INTERIOR DURING THE DAY AND THE EXTERIOR DURING THE NIGHT.
