Micro-urban Tower G era ld La r son Chi ca go, IL M ixed-Use H igh Rise Fall 2 014

The site is unique in th a t it is loca ted on th e west end of th e Eas t Wa ter Street Axis with Trump Tower term in a tin g it on the West end of th e a xis. But th e curren t sta te of th e site is a d isa ppointin g m om ent in th a t people do not fully occupy or use th e spa ce despite th e va stness of th e site. T h erefore I am proposin g a new sky scra per th a t will term in a te th e ax is from both en ds in order to crea te th is form a l la n gua ge b etween th e two tower s. But by crea ting a sky scra per just as tall Trump Tower (1 2 0 0 f t), it is ra th er m ore in tim ida ting than inv itin g. So th e idea of a m icro-urba n spa ce is used in ord er to develop a h um a n sca le in to th e design .

the human scale

As mentioned earlier, it is intimidating to just have a proposal with a 1200’ tall tower on the site. This would probably not encourage more visitors onto the site except for the people who occupy the tower. Therefore, it was impor tant to keep in mind the human scale and this was achieved through the concept of the micro-urban space. With this idea in mind, several par ts of the city were taken and expressed into the designs of the retail pavilions on the ground level. Although these retail pavilions stood 100’ feet tall at its max, a sense of scale was achieved by extracting horiztonals from the Navy Pier and John Hancock axis and using it as a propor tioning system for the pavilions to give it the human scale that the design needed.

1/32” SCALE MODEL The 1/32” scale skyscraper was made using the CNC milliing machine that allowed me to express the sleekness of the form and great emphasis on the programmatic and functional expressions that influenced the form of the tower.

Figure 08 gives a good reference as to the scale of the tower compared to its surrounding buildings. The Tribune building shown in Figure 08 stands at roughly 450 ft (14” at 1/32” Scale).

International Studies Center at Cincinnati Jef f Kock Cin cin n a ti, O H Institution Spring 2 014

The program called for a center for 30 international students per semester. As students coming from across the world to collaborate to give new insights into contemporary issues, the fellows should be given a presence within the community to value and recognize their work. Therefore in order to establish that presence, the resident housings for the fellows and market housing were raised through the concept of a podium. This podium transformed into a force that intrudes into the private programs to establish a space specific for the semi-public spaces.

To distinguish between the market housing building and the fellows insitute, the same language of the force intruding into the private spaces was utilized, but interpreted differently. As the force intruded into the private programs in the fellow’s institute, the force was interpreted to highlight the circulation of the housing building creating an atrium that is exposed to the Calhoun side.

Operable Metal Facade

As a result of the intrusion of the podium into the private spaces, the intrusion is seen as a force that fragments the façade. By having units with or without balconies, two separate systems are designed in order to provide users the same experience. This fragmentation of the façade with per forated metal allows

for the user to actually operate these panels by sliding them in order to set views, and light shading according to their liking. Per forated metal panels are chosen becuase it creates and operable shading device while still maintaining an open and clear view of the exterior.

These iterations show the development of the facades of when the “fragmentation” interacts with the balconies.

To prevent a sense of complete enclosure within the balconies,

the users experience a complete view and openness to the exteior by having the panels rotate as they meet the transition point from a flat wall to a wall with balconies.

1/16” Scale Model The 1/16” scale model was designed so that there is no facade on the building, thus allowing the oppor tunity to observe more of the interior spaces of the building.

The model includes a roof for each building that are capable of being taken apar t.

In this model in par ticular, it was impor tant to emphasize the interior because the “intrusion” of the podium into the private programs also highlights the circulation of the building. By not building the model, it is clear to understand the relationship between the circulation of the building with the units and studio within the building.

Pool House W hitney H a m a ker Cin cin n a ti, O H Pool H ouse Summ er 2 013

Located at the apex of a hill, inspiration was drawn from the movements of converging and plate tectonics to form the architecture of the pool house. By understanding the characteristics of the movements of involved in plate tectonics, an architecture was developed as if it was built from within the hill as opposed to the general conception of digging in to the hill.

The role of the diverging plates comes into play where these two plates are moving away from each other to reveal this body of water from beneath the sur face.

The role of the converging plates comes into play where it is as if the plates are colliding into each other to create these rubbles and cliff-like elements. These rubbles and cliff-like elements becomes features that visitors can physically interact with.

1/4� SCALE MODEL The 1/4� scale model of the pool house was designed in to hold plans, sectional, and overall view all in one. How the circulation is designed can be seen be removing the roof and deck space components of the pool house.

In order to also provide information about the relationship between the programs belowgrade and programs on-grade, the model is split at the cross section, approxmately midway through the deck space, and large pool.

Programs are placed specifically in response to the concept of the characteristics of Plate Tectonics. Therefore it is critical in this model to show the relationship between how the spaces interact with eachother while being placed at various grade elevations.

The concept is to give the literary center its own identity without the use of a signage piece. This is executed by having a rectangular prism with a shell around it and having the shell explode into several par ts. This explosion plays with the viewer’s perception of what the true form originally was, which then urges them to puzzle the exploded pieces back together. This working of the human mind is what gives the literary center it’s identity: a place for creativity and innovative thinking.

East End Infill Flood Housing Competition COM PETIT IO N Cincinna ti, O H Single Fa m ily H ousing Spring 2015

Here at the East End Neighborhood, there is a great sense of closeness amongst the neighbors, so it was especially impor tant to maintain that intimacy with the new design. In this new single family house, I am proposing a new entry sequence to the house and also a replicated housing layout that will enhance the social interaction amongst the community even more. The overall form of the building is a shotgun massing with a wooden shell around it. The gesture of the wooden shell begins at the ground level and begins to rise as it proceeds to the end of the façade to create this S-Shape. This gesture was appropriate for the design because it played a vital role in having a strong dialogue with the ground and the elevated habitable spaces. The wooden shells proceed to continue to wrap around the massing, but without it coming back down to the ground to really accentuate the lift of the building from the other side. Functionally, the wooden shell acts as a privacy and shading devise and also protection from debris from the flood prone region. The S-Shape façade was also determined by the fact that the new entry sequence actually begins on this ‘S’ side of the façade. So when a reproduction of this house is built south of this existing lot, the replica will actually be rotate 180 degrees. This is done because now by having the entry sequence internally between these two homes, the neighbors will continue to grow the strong social interaction that the community has as they enter their homes.

Wood Shell Feasibility and Functionality

Due to its simple modularity, the wood shell is prefabricated and can be fixed and replaced after any damages occur. Functionally, the wood shell acts as a Privacy Device, Shading Device with operable awnings and louvres, and Shelter from debris.

Buoyant Foundation

20’ Flood

Another unique aspect to the design is the buoyancy foundation. The reason for this method as opposed to stilts is because stilts become meaningless once the flood level reach its elevated height. And floods over the minimum elevation height has occurred multiple times in the past in this region. The foundation consists of a concrete “tub” that holds the buoys (Styrofoam blocks attached to a framing system) that are connected to 10 telescoping guides. The idea is that when the region floods, the flood water will flow into the tub and simply elevate the building as the telescoping stilts are there to guide it that guarantees the house from being damaged or obliterated.

Governed by the premise of its context, the Louisville Children’s Center inter twines children with urban and natural environments. The built form becomes a tool intended to engage the child with his or her surroundings while developing a sense of place within the setting.

These programmatic elements are raised to created a visual transparency across the site, encouraging pedestrian movement throughout the urban fabric. A per forated skin, which is also visible on the incubator and parking garage, formally unifies the three masses while maintaining the visual connection between the interior and exterior environment.

In addition to the incorporation of existing contextual conditions, the design responds to environmental factors. The deployment of materials and atriums allow natural light to filter and penetrate into the interior environment. Solar orientation and air ventilation dictate ideal programmatic conditions. Finally, the incorporation of greenroofs create healthy environments of unused space while developing a dialogue with adjacent urban park spaces.

Conceptual Forms The form of the center is derived from the generation of pedestrian axis, which produces three distinct programmatic masses that facilitate to a central communal space. The exhibit mass situates itself on the south side of the site, creating a dialogue with the library as it is similar in its nature of learning. The play and ancillary mass positions itself on the nor theast corner where it compliments the dynamism of the adjacent exterior. Lastly, the auditorium aligns itself with the looming Heyburn building, and, through a sloping gesture, engages the central communal space with a stage addressing interior and exterior orientation.
