Intersecting Tendencies Live, Work, Play Design Studio 4A Fall 2013 Professors: Mark Owen & Phillip Ra Partner: Mayra Orellana Site: La Plaza Palm Springs, California Project Description Located between Palm Canyon and Indian Canyon, the multiuse project is meant to maintain the Palm Springs culture while incorporating housing, recreation, and work spaces, and also being mindful of the extreme desert climate of the area. The challenge was for the site (80 x 280 ft lot) to be divided by two students, each with their own programmatic responsibilities which came from a general master plan which was given to each group working on the same site. From this master plan, each group was also given sets of rules such as setbacks and natural lighting requirements which had to be met.

Project Solution The two halves of the site are connected through a network of circulation which is meant to connect specific program on one side of the lot to specific program on the other side of the lot. These “networks� meet at the atrium of the project which is placed at the center of the project, meant to show that the two sides are joined by this open space of light and circulation. The circulation is simply corridors on one side and then grows into program on the other, using this idea of positive and negative. Because the side which my part of the project was located is on the more populated street (Palm Canyon), I chose to maintain the ground level as open as possible and visible to the sunken plaza below resulting in mostly cantilevered program. This was made possible with a large truss system which ties all the way back to the other side of the lot, creating not only a connection through circulation, but also a connection of structure throughout the project as a whole.

Cultural Homogenization A blend of the historical and the contemporary Design Studio 5A Summer 2013 Professors: Mark Owen & Guillermo Honles Site: Qorikancha Cusco, Peru Project Description The historical Qorikancha site, originally named Inti Kancha, was the most important temple site in the Inca Empire, dedicated primarily to Inti, the Sun God. The walls and floors were once covered in sheets of solid gold, and its adjacent courtyard was filled with golden statues. The Spanish colonists built the Church of Santo Domingo on the site, demolishing the temple and using its foundations for the cathedral. This is one of the numerous sites where the Spanish incorporated Inca stonework into the structure of a colonial building. The challenge was to incorporate a contemporary piece of architecture which would be beneficial to the city all while being respectful of the history of the site.
Project Solution
2
This newly landscaped visitor center sits next to the Qorikancha water feature, which use to be used for the temple, now currently the site of the church. The terracing of the site welcomes both tourists and locals alike. The site is being utilized for seating areas which are highly used by vendors, students, and tourists on an everyday basis as well as when events are held. The formed amphitheater has created a space which can now be utilized for cultural events and has given the site a proposed stage area which will be located towards the flat green area of the site. The built environment provides both an aesthetic and multifunctional setting by now becoming an updated version of the existing that caters to the people and to the views surrounding the site. A new public space welcomes people while a building that retains transparency throughout promotes the purpose of site seeing.

8 Due to the cold climate of Cusco, a glass box would not create a greenhouse effect problem. However, for the sunnier days an all glass environment might pose a problem, therefore pv cells have been incorporated on the roof as well as operable windows all around the cafe. This will create shade on the interior and also allow for the closed cafe to become semi open to nature, promoting natural ventilation.

Due to the economic and geographic closeness between San Diego and Tijuana, population growth tendencies have always been greater in Tijuana. It is estimated that Tijuana’s population will double that of San Diego by the year of 2032. This drastic difference suggests that Tijuana is and will be enforcing a type of “pressure” on San Diego with its growing population. These growth tendencies are interconnected through the region’s economical behavior which has created special economic zones (SEZ) in both San Diego (regional enterprise zone) and Tijuana (maquiladoras). This “layer” above the border contradicts the implemented geographical boundary by creating an invisible surface above the Tijuana River which engages United States and Mexico through the exchange of commercial goods.

Project Solution The Trans-Border Institute and El Colegio de la Frontera Norte are two “think tanks” staffed by experts who perform research and develop observations about the border and share them through lectures and publications. The joint research institute creates a joint double headquarters for both organizations where the separation of the two countries is emphasized by a very distinct separation of program which follows the border, and is then contrasted by an international conference room which is occupiable by both countries and located right above the border. This space is then used to discuss border issues discovered by both institutes all while being able to see the actual border line through a gap along the floor plate right above the border. As the two think tanks engage one another, the research institute as an entity promotes visual, verbal, and physical exchanges.

This method of construction leads to the creation of a prototype for other borders. The organizational patterns of program together with steel, convert the piece into a prototype for other border regions to exchange information.
Switchback emergency stairs intertwine to create a hollow core which allows the international conference room to cantilever above the border and supports an observatory room.

Terraced Habitation
A new take on recreation within the city Design Studio 3A Fall 2012 Professor: Berenika Boberska Site: 1229 South Hope St. Los Angeles, Calilfornia Project Description
The project asked for the study of multiple housing typologies, which one or two had to be chosen and manipulated in order to create a site specific methodology for housing design of the Downtown Los Angeles area. In this case, due to the lack of lot space and the height of the surrounding buildings, the two typologies of terracing and tower were combined to generate a new type of dwelling which accommodates both the public and the residents simultaneously. Also, due to the lack of green space in the downtown area, the new terraced tower typology provided the opportunity for outdoor green spaces to be incorporated.
Project Solution After an exploration of terracing volumes and the study of the spaces which are created in between those volumes, several possibilities of circulation arose as well as special relationships between volumes above and below each other. With those two factors in mind, first the idea of an outdoor park was broken up and shifted to multiple levels where there would be exterior circulation connecting these multiple green spaces and that would provide a private social environment for the residents. Next, circulation within the living area of the tower would be only on every other level which would create “canyon-like� spaces when walking through the corridor. Also, because of the overlapping volumes, some units were able to be double height units. Finally, the entire ground level would be dedicated to the public. A simple rotation in the tower creates a public plaza area near all of the commercial program. This tower, being a prototype for the entire block suggests that the area will eventually become a new social area of downtown. Above this new social area is housing and green area, also creating a less public type of social area within itself.

Left: This level of the housing shows the several connections between the outdoor spaces and the interior connections of the double height living spaces. Also, each unit is equipped with a window wall which can open completely to the environment, allowing for the interior to become exterior and vise versa. This is especially useful in the mild climate of Los Angeles . Below: Diagram showing the terracing of outdoor areas and how those areas are connected through exterior circulation. These areas are for residents only and create an outdoor environment which encourage interaction between neighbors, adding new activity within the tower.

Transparent Interaction
Privacy follows person
Design Studio 3A Fall 2012 Professor: Berenika Boberska Site: Woodbury University School of Architecture San Diego, California
Project Description The challenge was to accommodate two beings and create two separate dwellings within the Woodbury University San Diego campus studio space (area B). The conventional ideas of space utilization could no longer be used in such a small space, therefore several techniques needed to be used to enhance natural light, ventilation, and programmatic organization between the two dwellings.
Project Solution To fully utilize the ground level and adjacent alley, the space was opened up and terraced to create an outdoor lounging area for the students which could be visible from within the studio and through the cafe when the cafe is open for service only. Moveable track walls throughout the dwellings work in a way that when closing off the view of the public into one room , it opens the view in to an adjacent room. In other words, privacy only follows the person as they move through the spaces. Because this is a dwelling for one at a time (total of two separate dwellings), privacy is only required when and where the person desires it.

La Ancla de la Habana
An architectural icon of progress
Design Studio 4B Summer 2012 Professors: Mark Owen & Guillermo Honles Partner: Aron Carcamo Site: Casablanca Havana, Cuba Project Description Casablanca is a rundown port of Havana with abandoned buildings, schools, and old Cuban homes. The area is accessible to the main city only by boat and is home to the well known statue of Christ of the area. The area of Casablanca was divided into multiple lots, the very last lot being 53,000 square feet and the designated area for this project. A hotel tower was proposed for the lot in order to bring tourism towards that area of Havana and to create an architectural symbol of the future of Cuba.

Project Solution The project sits at the end of a water edge on a pre-existing boat dock that marks the end of a number of new projects. It will push the country forward in its architectural development by setting an example of appropriate architecture for Cuba through its climatic design. The tower embraces the culture in its attempt to bring local life and tourist life together in coexistence. The architectural gesture of the tower attempts to visually anchor Casablanca to represent the future of Cuba, the culture, and the future of architecture in Cuba. Through the incorporation of a plaza, there is are for human interaction and seating. A large part of the day of the average person is spent lounging and socializing, this may in the near future provide a platform for tourists and locals to be able to interact without it being frowned upon by the government.

It was determined that the tower would need to be climatically designed in order to provide shade and cooling for the year round high humidity and heat. The project utilizes shifting floor plates to accommodate both program and climate. Each floor plate will shade the level below as well as provide natural ventilation per level through the implementation of air pockets. Natural air is cooled by the plants on these air pockets before circulating throughout the level.

Geometric Negotiation
A harmonic relationship between site and movement Design Studio 2B Spring 2012 Professor: Nicole Acaron-Toro Site: Stadium Way/Lilac Terrace Los Angeles, California Project Description Using several forms of recording information on a site, multiple moments of importance for this site were extracted before making and design decisions. A visitation to the site proved that the most important factors of the site were the proximity of the city grid, car traffic, and shadows cast by the adjacent mountain. The challenge was to propose a bus terminal using those factors to inform design. The site is split in half by a street and very high traffic and to both sides of the street are mountains, to one side residential homes are located and the other side where the dodger stadium is located. These environmental and situational moments needed to be looked at as a whole and modeled into a site model where then the next step would be to design the bus terminal. city grid
Project Solution The bus terminal is a negotiation between geometry, terrain, movement, and mass. Movement, stasis, and site conditions work with each other and against each other to generate this building specific to Los Angeles. The complexity of the program of a bus terminal is closely integrated with the environmental forces of the site to generate the unique ramping and hovering design specific to the site. The placement of program, the modes of circulation of people, cars, and buses, and the landscaping have been informed by the mapping exercises.

Materials and Methods Fall 2011 Professor: Daniel Rabin Partners: Nick Wilkins & Claudia Castillo Project Description The combination of steel, glass, and color were studied for this interactive space for one. Opacity of glass was studied by layering glass and velum paper to mimic frosted glass. Replication of colored glass was tested by layering glass with sheets of colored film. Color combinations were tested by layering multiple layers of primary color film which then blended together to create a different color. Each attempt used colored glass panels, however the manner in which these panels mixed both colors was different. Finally, the most interactive and environment yielding design was the triangular structure which allows for a person to be on the inside of the structure while playing with the rotating colored glass panels.
First attempt: Construct had one open end as entry way. There are multiple panels of colored glass which slide across one another in order to create color combination.
The three sides of each triangle were made out of plexi glass and layered with two different colored film. These three sides were then joined to a triangular fixture on top and bottom and drilled with screws. Going vertically through the triangle and attaching to the steel structure was a dowel which allowed for the rotation of the triangular element, resulting in the mixing of these two colors.
Second Attempt: To add different levels of interaction we icorporated three different methods of combining colors. One method was sliding glass horizontally, a second method was pulling a piece upward, and the third was a series of three spinning pieces, each consisting of two colors to be combined. All sides are now closed, with one side being shortest to allow entry.
