COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL ARCHITECTURE _ CBA proposes to decentralize the water management process of San Francisco in order to scale it down to an architectural scale from an infrastructural scale by pairing architectural programs with the water management processes. The architectural programs of a residence, a learning and resource center and a teahouse will be implemented at a small, medium and large scale at three specific sites. By pairing activity-based architecture with water management, the project will increase awareness about the importance of climate change and provide a model for the ecological rehabilitation of an aging water management infrastructure.

CLIMATE CHANGE _
02_1 RESEARCH
What is it? Increased human activity in the past century has increased the amount of greenhouse gasses such as carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere. Greenhouse gases cover the Earth’s surface and trap radiation from the sun increasing global temperatures causing global warming. Human activity such as deforestation and burning of fossil fuels greatly increases the amount to CO2 in the atmosphere.
ATMOSPHERIC CO2 LEVELS _
01 _
Current CO2 levels are at their highest in the past 650,000 years.
CLIMATE CHANGE _
Why does it matter? Climate change and global warming have adverse effects on the planets natural weather cycles, resulting in local extreme events such as hurricanes, fires, floods and droughts like the one California has been experiencing for the past five years. Such natural disasters detrimentally affect not only the physical built environment but also the quality of human life.

WHY WATER? _
02_2 RESEARCH
Water is an essential part of life. All living organism including plants and animals rely on water for their survival. Our bodies are made up of about 80% water. It plays a key role in regulating our bodies homeostasis and ensuring that we are able to carry out our basic life functions. At a larger scale, water and access to bodies of water have allowed for human civilizations to thrive. It has been at the heart of every city and settlement due to its value as a versatile resource. We as a modern human civilization not only rely on it for our drinking and biological needs but also for economic needs such as manufacturing, energy production, and transportation of people and goods across the world.
AVAILABILITY OF WATER _
total water on Earth
freshwater
available surfacewater
Even though 71% of the Earth’s surface is covered in water, only 3% of that is freshwater. Of that 3%, only 0.3% is surface water and readily accessible for drinking purposes.
VALUE OF WATER _
For such a widely used resource, the access to readily available fresh water is very limited. Our access to freshwater is also decreeing as global climate continues to warm and causing droughts throughout the world. Currently, water has surpassed oil as being the most valuable resource on earth. The United Nations predicts that by 2025, 2/3 of the people in the world will be facing water shortages.

That common thread is WATER. Water is the single most quintessential material for the rial properties to build thriving organisms. Chemistry has utilized its physical properties to harness the power within. Cultures and civilizao design spaces. In order to do so, the relationship between architecture and water needs to be fully explored.

LINEAR SYSTEM _
The movement of water is unidirectional. Water moves from its input, the hetch hetchy reservoir, to its output, the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean.
CENTRALIZED SYSTEM _
All wastewater is processed in one step at one location. The system does utilize a multi-step process.
COMBINED SYSTEM _
The current system does not seperate wastewater from stormwater, instead stormwater is mixed with wastewater before proceeding to the treatment plant.

COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL ARCHITECT URE
Take the linear system in which the water moves in one direction and turn it into a more cyclical system. This will allow for feedback oppertunties in which the water can be recycled and upcycled to an earlier stage in the process.
At an infrastrucutral level the system is very centralized. However, a decentralized system would be more beneficial and energy conserving in the long run. It would also provide for the system to function at multiple scales throughout the city.
In the new system, create seperate tanks for different types of water. The seperation of grey water, black water, recycled water and strorm water will reduce the burdon on the infrastrucuture. It will also allow for a multi-step treatment process that will treat the water in stages.

QUESTION _
Can activity-based architecture be implemented to increase awareness about a global issue such as climate change? Furthermore, is it possible to convert the newly developed cognitions into actions via behavioral modification?
ARGUMENT _
By pairing activity-based architecture with water management processes, the project will, one, increase awareness about the importance of climate change and, two, provide a model for the decentralization of the water management system of San Francisco resulting in the ecological rehabilitation of an aging water management infrastructure.

03_1 THESIS
As architects, we must take into consideration the prevailing circumstances of our time. Having an understanding of the events unfolding around us, will allow us to rethink and innovate for tomorrow. One such phenomenon impacting humans is climate change. More specifically to California is the extensive drought we have been in for the last several years. With our water supplies running low and our water sources becoming increasingly unpredictable, it has become necessary to reexamine our existing water management infrastructure. The current water management structure of San Francisco can be described in three ways: linear, centralized and combined. Linear because water moves from its source to waste where it is discarded. The input of the system being Hetch Hetchy in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the output being the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. Centralized because the used water from industry, businesses and residences all go to a wastewater treatment plant to be processed. Combined sewer system because
storm water is mixed with wastewater before proceeding to the treatment plant. The three characteristics of linear, centralized and a combined system can be reconsidered using the means of architecture in order to improve our water management efficiency. I am proposing to pair architectural programs with the water management process to provide a model for the decentralization of the water management process of San Francisco. Thus bringing the process down from an infrastructural level to an architectural level. The architectural programs of a residence, a learning and resource center and a coffee and teahouse will be implemented at a small, medium and large scale at three specific sites within the Mission Creek watershed. By pairing activity-based architecture with water management, the project hopes to, one, increase awareness about the importance of climate change and, two, provide a model for the ecological rehabilitation of an aging water management infrastructure.

USER GROUP NARRATIVE _ The proposed design includes a residence, learning and resource center and a teahouse. The residence is integrated with a public pavilion in which a city docent is responsible for educating the general public about water management through example. A children’s learning center and a homeless resource center is combined to enhance the experiences of both users via a community garden. A public park at ground level allows for the general public to interact with the water management infrastructure. At the third site, a public teahouse is located in the center of a bioswale allowing the visitors to experience both natural and synthetic modes of water management.

CONCEPT STATEMENT _ A decentralization of the water management process allows for the infrastructure to be integrated with architecture at different scales throughout the city. The city thus becomes a large network of a multi-step water management process with architecture being the machinery for the infrastructure. The incorporation of public spaces and programs allows for the addition of a social component to the design.
