4. ASCENDING PATH
This cross-cultural project serves the broad variety of people who occupy Vancouver while responding to existing natural and built surroundings. Stretching across the blocks to the Southeast an existing axis of green space extends onto the site as outdoor venues and seating areas. This axis creates a void defining surrounding masses distributed equally around each side. Exposed structure supports each side of central axis, complementing the open vertical circulation along the structure, while also exposing the transparent program available to the public. Near the middle of the site, the main axis intersects a second axis of outdoor space. Both manifest as open outdoor venues, enclosed by surrounding indoor spaces that house work and live zones. These horizontal planes cantilever off the central axis to create and define these multi-functional outdoor venues. Designated zones of dining and retail, affordable housing, market-rate housing, and office spaces stack and maneuver in varying lateral directions, expressing the transitions between them. An ascending sequence of curves interrupts this modular, orthogonal system of structure and program, inviting the public to explore and rest on the summits of the outdoor spaces.

COMPLEXITY + ORDER triangulated structural system
This institute for the study + application of Biophilic Design captures five patterns of Biophilia. Each of these contributes to an experience that unites the exterior + interior spaces. The 12-week design process started with the idea of refuge from the hustle and bustle of the urban context of Brooklyn, New York. The institute’s site, Brooklyn Pier 5, presents a variety of opportunities. Over the course of the design process, the five principles manifested themselves in the five ways ways. The resulting project’s structure is composed of a triangulated steel truss system that forms spaces and creates opportunities for passive heating, cooling, and lighting systems systems. GR EEN 13

BUILDING DEVELOPMENT
One main pathway runs through this exhibition center on a closed circuit. Hardwood glu-lam half-arches fan above the pathway supporting its covering and supporting the pathway itself. This system of glulams creates an undulating overhead pattern that drives visitors through the building and its immediate surroundings, pointing them to spaces of interest. These glulams also serve as structural support for the entire exhibition center and the training sawmill. Visitors experience Indiana hardwood as they walk along the path by the movement of the glulams that leads them to the exhibitions and the sawmill. This continuous path also leads them through the hardwood forest. GREEN 21

4. DIFFERENCE hollowed out, manipulated box form
This wall serves as both barrier and doorway. The relationship of two oppositions, heavy versus light and addition versus subtraction, create an experience that moves individuals from one side of the wall to the other. Concrete’s ability to form seamlessly to any shape gives this one structure of one material two experiences: heavy from the exterior, light from the interior. The spatial experience is a sequence of four distinct perspectives. Individuals move through the structure in response to the depthless skylight. Movement at every point is manipulated by the carved out form of subtractions from the ground and the over-arching mass. GREEN 27

F R A N C I S C O Community Center for housing development near Monterrey, MX in collaboration with KaTO multi-disciplinary design team project leader: Kyle Murphy
KaTO Design Team on site with client
Community Center program summary
This project was designed by KaTO Design Team, our multi-displinary group comprised of architects, civil engineers, structural engineers, and landscape architects. We worked for eight weeks, starting with our visit to the project site near Monterrey, Mexico. Our client was the local developer GP Vivienda, which is currently constructing San Francisco, a housing development for forty thousand under-priveleged natives of the area. Our task was to design a community center to be built near the center of the site, which we approached by assessing the typical program of a Mexican community center and compacting it into four key spaces: grow, heal, gather, and learn. The project has been approved for construction and expects to be completed by Summer 2017 G RGRE EEN E N 3311
