Built and landscaped formal morphology navigates a new engagement with the city where movement and flow is increased between vital cores of social, economic and physical spaces. The reterritorialization of these cores allows for greater communication between them and initiates a new understanding of a ‘civic center’. Program evolves into a mix of civic and cultural use while integrating housing and a hotel to further blend civic and living. The pedestrian flow and movement becomes the emergent pattern of the city - where the hybrid re-territorialization takes form.

RE-densify to DE-densify seeks to recreate a sense of immersion along the Seine Riverfront that doesn’t exist anywhere else in Paris. All built program is pushed to the NW edge of the site where the most active arteries of the site lie; the meeting of the Bercy Bridge and Quai de Bercy. The pushed program now acts as a hub and connector for the people of the 12th district to access the Seine Riverfront from various means:
car/autolib,
bike/velib
and
boat/batobus. The hub not only acts as a means of transportation but also provides a Riverfront education center, office space, a day care, promenade and cafe.
“
The delineation of a hub at one end allows for the rest of the site to dissipate into a reflowing river sanctuary, renaturalizing the the area area into into an an naturalizing immersive Riverfront. Riverfront. immersive

LACMA is burgeoning eclectic campus instilled to its core with a sense of renewal and innovation. The studio set to envision a new concept artistin-residence for its western edge of campus. This reversal of roles allows for a new experience on the campus while providing ample natural lighting and ventilation. The core void is a new exploratory space for both the artistsin-residence as well as the patrons to the museum. The void allows for the versatile nature of art and welcomes boundary pushing installations. The circulation of the building encircles the entire void allowing for a public interior art walk and display while highlighting specified views back towards the main LACMA campus as a reference to the museums expanding horizons.

WHAT IF?

BUNKER HILL , LOS ANGELES , CA fall 2011 Semester 7 / 1 0 instructor R o l a n d w a h l r o o s - r i t t e r catalyst how much rainwater could
collect on the vertical surfaces of downtown LA?
analysis wind-driven rain
Yearly LA rainfall urban runoff porous surfaces facade manipulations
With an objective water research agenda for the Greater Los Angeles Area - this studio set to explore where the voids in data reveal the beginnings of design. The emergent properties of the city’s relationship with water reveals a source commonly thought to be negligent; rainwater. Rainwater collects on the 23,636 acres of Los Angeles’ horizontal landscape
- pavement.
Inspired by the acres of vertical surface in DTLA, this project seeks to ask the question - ‘What if?’ - by imagining DTLA as a mecca of rainwater harvesting and a catalyst for water sustainability in Los Angeles.
“
Is there a way to relieve harvesting urban runoff by harvesting rainwater before it hits the rainwater ground?
�
all of Los Angeles’ 23,636 acres of pavement receive 638,172,000 gallons of water from 1 inch of rainfall
1 inch
of rainfall on the streets of los angeles could supply a day’S worth of water to

a community-oriented performing arts school (+program of choice: diving)
program Performing arts school
diving performance pool Main performance hall secondary performance offices lobby cafe
Koreatown is one of the most dense districts in Los Angeles. The nature of its building typology greatly lacks a key ingredient vital to enhancing the lives of its inhabitants; water. The studio project was the creation of a performance arts school with an exploratory program left open to interpretation. The lack of water in the area designated the design initiative to create an inventive and engaging architecture. Performance art and diving. What happens when the two mix? The performance core is a center where diving and musical performance take place in front of each other. The building skin wraps east to west to shield from the ominous tower across the street while remaining void north and south - for performance visibility to the heavy traffic along Vermont Ave.
