THE TECH: INNOVATION HUB + HOTEL

INTERACTIVE RESEARCH HUB SOUTH BOSTON, MA

The mingling of private and public program proposes a more transparent, open to public research environment. Located in the intensely developing area of Boston, the project aims to bring together the residents of South Boston and Boston’s top research teams. Public spaces paired with “magnet” program such as cafe/restaurants, media library and an interactive museum are provided, where the public can learn about some of the research, enhancing the cultural spirit of South Boston. The research hub, becomes, therefore, part of the Boston Research Park, acting as a link between the top academic environemnet of Boston and the community.

The site is located in a major industrial redevelopment zone, anchored to one of the bussiest intersections of the area. The south corner of the site is situated accross the street from Broadway MBTA station, opening to both Dorchester Avenue and W Broadway Street, the two most commercial streets in the area. Through the massing strategy, the south corner becomes an “anchor” to the site.

By connecting the Research Center + Interactive Community Center to the the proposed Boston Harborwalk, it will create a link between other cultural institutions along this proposed path, such at the Boston Children’s Museum or the Institue of Contemporary Art.

Site Plan

Performative Exo-Skeleton The innovative exoskeleton creates the shell for an extremely adaptable interior, while enhancing thermal comfort through complete shading in the summer months while allowing for full heat gain during winter months. Secondly, the adaptability challenge is addressed by using the concrete exoskeleton to maximize interior flexibility. In order to maximize adaptability, the massing responds to a framework of “soft” and “hard” program, which impels the level of mechanical systems used. The “soft” and “hard” program is further divided into sizes of small, medium and large, in order to easily fit various future program types Exo-Skeleton: Allows for maximum flexibility within the interior 11’ 6”

Modification: The form of the diagrid is manipulated to obtain a performing role. Summer sun rays are blocked, while winter sun rays provide full heat gain within the building.

Structure: Cast in place concrete diagrid.

924 HARRISON STREET DUDLEY SQUARE, BOSTON, MA

Bostonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s increased demand in housing over the last decade has led to numerous small, cramped and confined developments throughout the city. With emphasis on maximizing the gross square footage, the comfort and the community spirit of living care often igored or given minimal thought. 924 Harrison Street proposes an efficient, yet comfort and social-driven design. The aggregation of various types of units creates open balconies for each apartment, maximizing daylight, views and social interaction, while still maintaining privacy, as each unit is a corner unit. Social intercation between residents is also encouraged by the various common spaces on each floor. Each of these common spaces provides a different activity/program, encouraging people from throughout the building to interact.

PERFORMING ARTS SCHOOL BOSTON, MA

Located in the heart of South End, the Performing Arts School responds to the neighborhood’s interst in performative art. As the studios and the exhibition actively “showcast” student’s work along Washington Street, a public outdoor performance space activates the site, encouraging pedestrians to become spectators to the students’ perfomances.

THE TECH

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (in progress) The project is designed with the intention of show-casting the new identity of the city of San Francisco (especially SoMA) - technology development. The Innovation Hub will house office space for various tech companies, with shared R&D facilities. The building is intended to bring the public though and interact with the products and the engineers (in key activity-based public hubs). These activity-based public hubs spread throughout the building will be designed in a specific sequence, to showcase the narrative of making technological innovations as a fragmented Interactive Museum . These â&#x20AC;&#x153;hubsâ&#x20AC;? will narrate the various stages of development, from idea to production. The benefit of bringing in people from outside the company to interact with the products in their early stages of design is to receive feedback through various ways (direct feedback, observation, etc). The Boutique Hotel has the opportunity of becoming the place where people traveling for work in SoMA will stay at, as currently the neighborhood lacks this amenity. Pairing the hotel and the innovation hub with a Conference Center, mostly dedicated to technology innovations will promote a higher and constant influx of people interaction on the site. Each of these interactive hubs will be paired with specific public program, intended for engineering serendipity. For example, one of these hubs could be a temporary work spaces for people staying at the hotel, allowing them to work from the heart of this innovation center, creating unexpected collision with people from various fields.
