A JOINT VENTURE Housing is evolving around the world and is beginning to define new architectural typologies. The “American Dream” of a single family home is quickly becoming just that... a dream. As cities continue to grow and densify we are left with less and less open space. SRO’s and micro-units are quickly populating the residential landscape of LA and amenities and other utilitarian spaces are being removed from the individual housing unit and are becoming shared. This project seeks to question the validity of these shared spaces and explore how they can be better redefined to service both the community and the individual. Using the principals of Japanese joinery the project will combine a +PROGRAM (program that addresses climate or social justice), homeless HOUSING, and a new METRO stop to create a network of atypical relationships at both the scale of the neighborhood and the buildings occupants to explore what conditions and relationships are generated when these programs “interlock”.

The primary objective of this project is to revise the shed (structure and envelope) to help strategize better adaptations to emergent needs that our society requires. Perhaps this could be an alternative to temporary housing, immediate shelter for under-serving social groups, or cultural venues for under-served areas. We will develop this through 3 simple architectural elements: Shed, chambers, and devices.

DESIGN CONCEPT The Barrio Commons explores collective housing as a means of expanding and preserving the rich heritage of Barrio Logan by working alongside the neighborhoods primary cultural hub and gathering space, Bread & Salt. This project seeks to expand upon the communal integration that Bread & Salt has started by minimizing ground floor interference leaving an expansive and flexible communal space that is intended to be used as an extension of Bread & Salt’s weekly galleries and weekend markets which have become critical to the neighborhood’s local economy. The building, itself, follows these community centric ideals by providing the residents with expansive communal and workspace that encourages appropriation allowing the building to act as a blank canvas which develops alongside its inhabitants while maintaining an openness that encourages connection between both its residents and the surrounding community.

THE PEOPLES LOT The Peoples Lot is an exciting opportunity to bring together various social groups- children, parents, activist, English + Spanish speakers, students, faculty and morein both its design and function. Already a space for gardening and food production, concerts, and protests, classrooms, and leisure, the existing privately owned public oriented space is a beacon for community activity. As a new mixed-use building rises next door, designed by local architecture professor Hector Perez, the Peoples Lot is looking to leverage design as a vehicle to amplify its existing civic objectives.
HOOPS X BORDERS This series envisions architecture and sport as two complementary disciplines that can be leveraged to support efforts of bringing different groups of people together in one shared, physical location. The goal is to connect “others” through shared interest, and thereby develop the foundation for which further relations- and cooperation may be pursued.
