HISTORICAL MAPPING OVERLAY

ELYSIAN PARK

NARRATIVE “It may be difficult to imagine, but this place was once a fertile basin, and within a mile of the park is the last recorded location of Yang-na, a large Tongva village… The history of the Southern Pacific Railroad’s (SPR) River Station, opened in 1875, includes a waterwheel, freight house, roundhouse, depot and station yard…. On the north side, the (Raphael Junction Block) Flat Iron Building is the second oldest industrial building standing in Los Angeles and dates from 1890’.” - Los Angeles State Historic Park website

CONCEPT SYLVIA'S REST.

Through strengthening hand graphics skills, multiple iterations built on a concept of topographic mounds and depressions. The design focused on implementing water management practices, ecological benefits and strengthening communities through educational opportunities.

DESIGN ITERATION - Implement programming and ecological strategies

CREASED RIDGES PROJECT TYPE: MODELING AND DESIGN PROCESS LOCATION: HYPOTHETICAL SITE INDIVIDUAL WORK YEAR: SPRING 2017

NARRATIVE Through the exploration of desert landscapes from Death Valley and Valley of Fire State Park, inspiration came from natural red rock formations and the weathering of the landscape. Through the design process using various materials, the concept developed by adding, subtracting, pushing and pulling the object.

MODEL PHOTO #1: FOAM BOARD ITERATION

SECTION ELEVATION 12

MODEL PHOTO #2: 3D WOOD ITERATION


PROCESS Gradual folds are created through the modeled landscape with a push and pull effect. The design incorporates cuts across the model that shift in various angles and heights that cohesively work together. Similar design elements are imitated for the pool and the trees are organized to provide shelter and gathering spaces. 1
