ARCH 510 ELISIA ALAMPI

ELISIA ALAMPI

Elisia is a second year graduate student studying Architecture at the University of Oregon. She previously graduated from Auburn University in 2021, where she earned a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Environmental Design. Her passion for sustainability drew her to the West Coast, and since moving to Oregon she has been inspired by the use of natural elements in buildings and passive systems for heating and cooling. She gained professional experience during the summer of 2022 when she worked as an intern at Gensler. She found the opportunity to work with a global firm to be rewarding and hopes to return to the firm in the future. At the University of Oregon, Elisia has worked with the Office of Sustainability as a Home Energy

Assessor, where she surveyed lowincome houses and provided reports with opportunities for energy improvements to the homeowners. Currently, she works as a Graduate Employee for the Structural Behavior course, where she teaches labs and provides support to students outside the classroom through help sessions and office hours. Elisia’s career goals center around designing architecture that improves both the well-being of the planet and the people who inhabit it. She hopes to couple her engineering and architectural knowledge in a way that results in holistic design solutions for issues surrounding sustainability.

TOPOSURFACE

MAIN ST SPRINGFIELD

The site for this hotel is a parking lot on Main St. of Springfield, OR. This parking lot sits in between two existing buildings, The Springfield History Museum and the Emerald Arts Center. A mural is painted on the east wall of the Emerald Arts Center.

The below image expresses the slight grade across the parking lot with building situated.

MASSING

EXPLORING A CURVE

My hotel features a grand curve cut out of the South facade of the building going all the way to the top. The building sits perfectly between the two existing buildings on the site and thus using party walls on both of these sides. It is taller than the surrounding buildings to accomodate an ample amount of guests.

The massing highlights the circular travel around the double height workshop core.

PLAN, SECTIONS, AND ELEVATION

EMBRACING THE RADIUS

The floor plans and sections of the hotel emphasize radial lines and arcs. The structural grid follows a radial pattern, and arcs define the shapes of the rooms. Cut outs in the floor allow for increased views and light.

EMBRACING CHARACTER

The facade of the building is composed of brick and glazing. This matches the character of the surrounding buildings. A curtain wall exposes the mural to passersby.

WALLS

LEVELS OF SCALE

Three wall assemblies make up the building to reflect appropriate levels of scale. Thicker exterior walls allow for an insulated interior, and a curtain wall exposes the mural on Emerald Arts Center. Double-casement windows are located throughout the building to allow views to the outdoors.

U-SHAPE

This staircase brings people in a u-shaped path to move between the first and second floors. By taking this shape, there is space for the reception desk to fit in between the two pathways.

IMAGE: STAIRS IN BUILDING

The main staircase of the building is shown below both as a large axon and in section.
