PROJECT 1: FINAL THESIS: DAM SPACE KINETIC FLOOD MITIGATION & DYNAMIC ASSEMBLY
TYPOLOGY ASSEMBLY & INFRASTRUCTURE INSTRUCTORS PHILIP RA & MINI CHU SITE RIVERFRONT, PEORIA, ILLINOIS AWARDS AIA HENRY ADAMS MEDAL B.ARCH THESIS DIRECTOR’S AWARD
THESIS STATEMENT & PROJECT NARRATIVE Utilizing kinetic techniques, this project seeks to address the problem of annual flooding in a way that opportunistically preserves, expands, and enhances public event space. The city of Peoria, Illinois, is bound by the banks of the Illinois River. Its location affords industry the means to thrive and allows the residents the opportunity to experience the river’s beauty. However, each year the community witnesses its power and destructiveness during annual flood events. As a means of mitigation, the city currently extolls a considerable effort erecting temporary – and not entirely effective – flood barriers. Not only are there great financial costs, but more importantly, these means exclude the public from accessing the programs and spaces that are vital to the community. In addition to preserving the site more effectively than current efforts, the architectural response intends to expand and enhance public event space by performing with nature in an innovative way. Establishing a network of static nodes across the site, these points are then linked by a series of temporary, kinetic sections – that respond to floodwater similar to the effect of a wet straw wrapper – to create a larger inhabitable dam. Diverging from the historic River Station, a new “railroad yard” establishes the source for diverging and converging rails for the kinetic systems. With connections to this network, trains of floating “dock engines” become the architecture’s interface to the site’s hydrology. As the flood water moves these docks higher in elevation, they in turn deploy the kinetic sections. The landscape is also tuned to respond to the flood stages; the amphitheater transforms into an overflow pool before the declared flood stage and the kinetic building sections fully deploy before the flood water reaches the building’s elevation. Along the water’s edge, new riverfront steps will serve as a meter for the public to gauge the water level on a daily and hourly basis as a visual cue of the site’s conditions. Approaching the problem through the lens of kinetics and integrated design can benefit the goal of creating adaptable spaces and inhabitable dams. Likewise, the emerging potential of universal robotics, proliferation of digital technology, and innovative contemporary kinetic precedents have begun paving the way for revolutions in our participation with architecture. Integrating the means for active adaptations enhance the performance of the architecture and the experience of the site’s dynamic conditions. Through this multi-faceted approach, an architecture of linked spaces will reflect the activities of the Peoria Riverfront and mitigate flooding in the pursuit of Dam Space. 6

TYPOLOGY
MIXED-USE MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL & COMMERCIAL INSTRUCTOR ERIC LUM SITE RICHMOND, CALIFORNIA TEAM NATHAN LIENHOP DANIEL FORTHUBER
PROJECT NARRATIVE Evoking the symbiosis of man and nature, this multifamily residential development serves as an existential public resource. Utilizing the character and phenomenal qualities of its context, the sloping form rises from the shoreline along a zagging path to delineate open space. The project unites public resources and the amenities of residents to create gathering places while retaining a sense of privacy. Together with integrating energy conservation and generation measures, the project seeks to transform the use of the site and create a symbiotic relationship with the land. Utilizing natural forces to both generate a concept and treat the building, the project combines contextual references with novel technologies to recall the genius loci and zeitgeist of the site. Returning the footprint to a natural site, the design rises from the waterfront to promote outdoor activities. The rising tectonic form lands upon a stereotomic base, exposing interior spaces to views, light, and passive ventilation. Utilizing energy generation and recovery methods, the project supplements conventional systems with devices such as wind cowls for mechanical, geothermal and thermal solar tubes for plumbing, and wind turbines and solar panels.

SITE & SUSTAINABILITY With an aim for a net positive building, both passive and active systems and strategies will be coordinated to reduce the demand and allow for self-sustainability. The development of our project aligns itself with the solar path to effectively daylight the internal spaces creating a more comfortable environment and reducing the use of conditioned air. Operable windows and water based heating and cooling strategies will also be beneficial in creating a comfortable interior. Green roofs will help reduce solar gains, provide natural habitat for wildlife with native, drought resistant plantings. Shading will be controlled with overhangs as well as shading devices on exposed facades. Using heat exchangers, energy will be recovered from plumbing systems to reduce the load of the waterside mechanical system. Likewise, excess water from the green roof will be filtered and collected for on site usage. Non-potable grey water will also be sought to supplement stored water for sewage conveyance and applicable cooling systems. The orientation of the linear masses along with the form of the structure are informed by the site’s climate and elements. Its width allows the units to be daylit while the balconies and screens provide shading and diffusion. Likewise, solar chimneys and light wells provide light and ventilation to the corridors and common spaces, while wind cowls are used to support the mechanical systems of the residential units. Taking advantage of the temperate climate, the apartments and portions of the commercial spaces can be exposed to the outdoors with folding doors.

PROJECT 3: BAZAART TRANSITIONAL SHELTER & STUDIO FOR IMMIGRANTS
TYPOLOGY
LIVE-WORK & PUBLIC INSTRUCTORS KAREN SEONG & ERIC REEDER SITE SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA
PROJECT NARRATIVE This transitional center provides a live-work environment for refugees and is centered around an urban bazaar. It’s winding path -through translucent partitions and concrete arches- creates a gradient of exposure levels, providing a range of interactions between resident-creators and public-lingerers. The building’s formal language of layered opacities and shifted planes mirror the act breaking the inhibition to express one’s identity. A field of arches establish a series of proximities where boundaries are eroded as one’s comfort level increases through the sharing of crafts. Users cross the threshold of lingerer to participant as the bazaar shifts in scale and offers new qualities of exposure.

A diverse arrangement of spaces creates opportunities for unexpected meetings and spontaneous activities. Providing a mixture of circulation accelerates these opportunities and establishes programmatic sequences. A path through the building allows for a pedestrian route through the site. However, along these open corridors, the space opens to fluid sharing spaces which are often outdoors. With smaller corridors and congealing spaces branching from these routes, the production spaces afford creators a degree of privacy while being partially exposed to spectators. As creators move from production to sharing spaces, they are greeted by spectators who may have witnessed the creation of vernacular tapestries, paintings, ceramics, or other artifacts and inquire about the process or piece. Visitors moving along the open corridors -passing thresholds of production and sharing zones- experience the multitude of goods and the process of creating them. By exposing user groups to each other through a layered sequence of zones and spaces, the overlapping solid areas shift into accessible areas and flow into sharing spaces. BB

PROJECT 4: TERRAIN BRIDGE VISITOR’S CENTER AT COYOTE HILLS REGIONAL PARK
TYPOLOGY
EDUCATIONAL - INSTITUTIONAL INSTRUCTORS LISE BARRIERE SITE FREMONT, CALIFORNIA
PROJECT NARRATIVE The natural landscape of Coyote Hills consists of three distinctive terrains: the wetland marsh, the gentle grassland, and the powerful, rolling hills. Each terrain brings a range of unique experiences to this dynamic site and offer bountiful tools for engaging with nature. By uniting these terrains with a bridge, the users of the project are exposed to -and encouraged to engage with- the conditions of the place. Taking advantage of these tectonics, the hillside is folded up to reveal a bridge through and into the terrain. As one reaches the threshold of Quail Hill, the orthogonal form is seen extruding from the hillside to reveal the Visitor’s Center. With one side embedded into Quail Hill, the rectilinear form extends across the valley through the tree canopy to perch on the adjacent slope. Approaching Coyote Hill’s ‘Terrain Bridge’ Visitor‘s Center, the undulating topography contrasts the linear form of the bridge whose levels set a datum for the sectors of the natural terrain. As one parks beneath the structure and ascends the perimeter ramps or central stair, one’s perspective is heightened as the views out reveal an unobstructed natural landscape. Moving across the bridge, the program and structure are tied to a natural sector’s quantifiable and qualifiable features and implied activities.

The new Visitor’s Center must represent the layers of objective and subjective terrains which compose the landscape of the park. These constitute the three natural terrains (wetland, midland, highland) and the cultural and architectural histories (previous, existing, future). This concept translated into extruding a mass from the heart of the hill and exposing visitors to the broad range of conditions which anchor the them to the site. With the dynamic topography, this mass interacts with the ground plane differently as it traverses the landscape. From being embedded in the hillside, to elevated in the tree canopy as it spans the hills, and finally resting on the recontoured slope near the existing fire access road. An important piece of the concept is relieving as much of the artificial features from view while traversing the bridge. This creates a hierarchy of experiences as one changes elevation and ascends the structure from the ground. In many ways, the building highlights the natural features of the site through contrast and establishes a datum: wetland (under the tree canopy), midland (within the canopy), and highland (above the canopy). This creates a logical hierarchy of both programmed spaces and the manner the structure connects to the ground, recalling the features and conditions of the natural terrain surrounding it. Through these means, the project aims to engage with the environment and enhance the experience of the visitor as they traverse the scenic, multifaceted terrains of the park.
