FIRE STATION: SPECTACLE University of California, Los Angeles In Collaboration with: Alex Abugov, Israel Ceja ARCH&UD 414 Spring 2017 Our project is about machine and spectacle. With highly visible routines at every level, movement between equipment and spaces becomes a spectacle once firefighters enters this machine for work.

We’ve looked at the combination of machine and spectacle in a variety of typologies and projects.

One is the early industrial factory in which a fixed, formalized, and centrally voided space creates a spectacle of the technology and engineering of machinery.

Another is Price’s Fun Palace, in which the whole thing is spectacle and machine, flexible and indeterminate.

And it’s a combination we also sense in contemporary big box warehouse stores like costco or home depot, and even ikea, in which the vastness, flexibility, and economy of interior environments with ability to move and organize goods and people produces a kind of spectacle.

Organization Our studio’s process began with specification diagrams that attempted to organize all the information one needs to design a fire station in a single image, as maybe in part a way to engage performative or functional design critically. Our fire station and its spaces are organized around equipment, activities, and mechanical systems, so the various functions of the firehouse can be broken down in order to evaluate optimal performance.

Interiors & Exteriors The exterior of these modules are designed around a 4x8 panel and limited catalogue of standardized parts Module Specifications with an even exterior treatment 1’-0”= 1/4” whose austerity matches the blankness of the interior walls of the facade. This is intended to highlight the equipment, vehicles, and firefighter routine and response. In contrast, the interiors of the modules are all treated very specifically with various kinds of domestic finishes.

LA SCREENING HOUSE University of California, Los Angeles ARCH&UD 415 Winter 2016

With the background and history of the 20th century house as a backdrop, this project focuses on the constraints and logics of grids, geometric prisms, and platonic spatial typologies within the context of an approximately 2,000 sf house located in Los Angeles. If there is a tension between the concept of the paradigm and the personal, then the project aims to explore and discipline this tension through rigorous exercises, clear methodologies, and an acute understanding of the properties and possibilities of steel.

My concept challenges the idea of a typical screening room. Instead of a separate space, made with only one programmatic use, the house as a whole becomes the screening room and the space can be utilized for other uses, when films are not being shown.

Screening Room

The screening room is comprised of multiple viewing point throughout the house, which can view the large screen in the courtyard. The three main viewing areas are the courtyard, the 2nd floor porch and the rooftop decking, all accessible with the spiral staircase. However, from inside the house films can also be viewed, as glazing surrounds the courtyard facade of the second floor.

The construction of the house is defined by a simple grid, where the steel columns and beams are exposed on the exterior. The walls are constructed with light gage steel framing and all windows are aluminum framed. The decking on the top floor is constructed with wood and light gage steel. The perforated screen seen on the east facade, is a water pressure cut aluminum spanning from the third to the ground floor. It acts to partially screen the decking and provide privacy and shade the second floor.

PROJECT DIVERGENCE University of Hawaii at Manoa Seoul Studio Fall 2014

Project divergence in Seocheon, looks at order versus disorder, fragmentation versus unity and utilizes a methodology between these relationships to create space. Divergence means tending to be different or developing in a different direction.

Like most architectural projects, the space was influenced by the history of the area. However, it diverges by challenging traditional spaces, programing and relationship to context.

16

Seocheon, South Korea

The Seocheon area has an older history compared to other parts of Seoul and recently it has been undergoing a revitalization. The buildings in the area are being restored, rebuilt and reoccupied. My proposal seeks to create architecture through superimposition. It argues that spaces can be made through the layering of the city.

Two historical sites in the area of Seocheon are Gyeongbok palace and Cheongdeok palace. The site plan of these two palaces were overlaid onto the site and its surroundings. Along with these two site plans a North/South grid was also superimposed. Various elements were then overlaid where intersections occurred.

19

Building Components Intersection layers helped develop where building components occurred. For example the rooftops of Cheongdeok palace became concrete slabs and where the North/South grid intersected these slabs, I-beams emerged to support glass roofs. The combination of these intersections created spaces and the spaces together became my design.

TOP-DOWN, BOTTOM-UP, MIDDLE OUT University of California, Los Angeles In Collaboration with: Brian Lee, Israel Ceja ARCH&UD 401 Spring 2016 The paradigms of the top-down architect led design versus the bottom-up, do it yourself design are well established.

Through the exploration of Kahn’s brick and concrete structures our project aims to identify a territory for “middle-out” design strategies that problematize the boundaries between the Architect and laborer.

Brick and Concrete

The Indian Institute of Management

The Indian Institute of Management, built in 1962 and located in Ahmedabad, India. It is primarily a Brick and Concrete structure which is deployed at multiple scales to produce the buildings of the main campus, library, classrooms, offices and dormitory buildings. Brick and concrete remain the fundamental material for the construction of the complex and interact in an interdependent way through the project making it possible for Kahn to achieve his formal ambitions within a context of limited oversight and control.

New Tie Design While the aggregation of bricks may lend itself to a bottom up approach to building, Kahn’s brick and tie relationship at the IIM can be understood as a top-down design method, where the individual bricks are deployed towards a predetermined scheme. Taking the top-down v. bottom up paradigms as two extremes in a story that can be told through brick and concrete, our approach looks towards a middle-out solution. This middle-out solution seeks to provide variation and differentiation within a limited yet flexible set of outcomes, allowing for a multiplicity of design solutions to take place outside of the architect’s purview.

KAWILOA DESIGN/BUILD COMPETITION North Shore, Hawaii In Collaboration with: Danalli Ignacio, Cynthia Miao, Sven Bradley Spring 2014 For the challenge of designing a rain shelter, we thought it necessary first to consider the meaning of shelter. Shelter is commonly understood to be a place giving protection from danger, but in the Hawaiian language, the word for shelter, Wahi Lulu, can also be interpreted as Place of Calmness. With our design, we sought to create a place that not only acts to protects its users from the weather, but also to embrace the beauty of it. The roof structure is designed to shed rainwater onto the vegetated rock wall to remind the users that although we may need protection from the

Pavilion Components The construction process of the design incorporates simple wood framing techniques and standard slab-on-grade foundation. The vegetated rock wall follows typical gabian wall construction.

Corrugated steel panels will be bolted onto the wood trusses as well as suspended by steel rods. The overall process is simple and could be managed by any contracting group.

THOMAS SQUARE University of Hawaii at Manoa ARCH 203 Spring 2013

The concept for the park derived from the native Hawaiian plant, Kalo. It is used in various ways by the native Hawaiian people and has been an important resource in the Hawaiian culture. The plant is broken down into three parts, the root (kalo), the stem (ha) and the leaves (lau). Similarly the park is broken down into three parts the center represents the root or the heart, which holds the park together. The path ways become the stems connecting the root to the various parts of the park. Lastly, the leaves are represented by the three

Each of the various components of the park contribute to the users experience. The pathways at the northern end of the park act as seating for various events. While the other pathways guide users to important event areas.

Planters add additional seating and trellis’ and trees provide shade.

Hawaii ships more than 90 percent of its goods, therefore, the island has an abundance of shipping containers. The shipping container can be used as an inexpensive basic building block. It is easily transported, can withstand incredible stresses and can be used for both temporary and permanent structures. Not only would the container be highly cost efficient but would be easy to maintain.

Though the general form and appearance of the container could be modified, my design tried to keep the container similar to its original form. This allows the general public to appreciate and be educated in the positive transformation of a sustainable design.

CLONE University of Hawaii at Manoa ARCH 101 Fall 2011

Each individual is unique and by understanding our own form, we begin to understand other forms. The 1:1 scale recreation of the body, allows repetition and sections to describe its composition.

Using the life sized clone as a “site�, strips of bass wood and zip ties respond by creating a organic composition in the focal point of the clone.
