BRONCO SPORTS CENTER

Cal Poly Pomona, CA

Spring 2024 | Instructor: Marc Schulitz

Partner: Sana Iqbal

This sports center for the Cal Poly Pomona Bronco tennis team features two stadiums and contains accomodations for athletes, staff, media, VIP, and club members. The parti for this project is quite simple, consisting of rigid forms (two circles of stadium intersected by a rectangular bar of program) then disrupted by fluid paths of travel (the ramp) designated for the general public which connect both arenas. This ramp is further enhanced by an outdoor amphitheater to create an interactive plaza space that allows the project to be experience at all hours of the day, regardless of whether a match is occurring. Program and circulation are arranged so that users do not collide with the general public by guiding all public facilities up one level (the ramp) while athletes and staff remain on the ground floor, in the “bar.” The form of the facade manifests from the curved paths that, while rigid in plan, undulate in spatial experience in response to public approach. It is made of a translucent white veil that lifts at the center; as visitors travel up the ramp and eventually arrive at the center, they are given a unique vantage point that cannot be experienced at any other part of the project where they are able to experience both stadiums at the same time.

The parti of the project was rotated 22° southeast to promote optimal sun shading and court orientation. Program is arranged efficiently so that players and staff do not collide with the general public- VIP is given its own entrance near the parking lot and into the private restaurant and boxes while the tennis club was placed in close proximity to the existing courts on campus. The facilities within the bar reflect the simplicity of the parti and are divided and reflected as well. In addition, the project features an outdoor plaza and cafeteria space that connects both the ramp and bar together, allowing visitors to preview the space below while being restricted beyond.

Circulation is also arranged efficiently so that all users do not collide with one another. As seen in thhe diagrams below, each user has its designated path of circulation, with the general public guided up one level to the ramp.

The facade is made of a translucent white veil to further reinforce the form of the facade and how it lifts at its center to allow visitors to preview both stadiums at the same time.

SANTA ANA MIXED-USE HOUSING

Santa Ana, CA

Spring 2023 | Instructor: Scott Parker

In a setting where fostering a sense of community is often difficult to achieve, this project focuses on creating such a space to encourage interaction among its variety of residents. Located in Santa Ana, this mixed-use housing project features 60 units thoughtfully designed to promote interaction with one another, along with a variety of unique communal spaces. To emphasize the separation of public and private areas and create a safer environment for residents, the project’s overall massinig was organized in an “S” shape in order to establish a private courtyard and a public courtyard. Public spaces including the live/work, retail, and civic facilities are located on the ground floor, while private programs including the units and ammenities for residents are situated above the podium. This separation was further reinforced through the exaggeration of the podium’s datum line. Unique communal spaces can also be found nested within units and feature unique programs such as a billiards room, ballroom, and music room. These communal spaces can easily be identified by the vibrant colors which contrast the otherwise monochromatic facade.

The project includes two sites with a pairing between two students. As seen on the site plan, there is a street accessible to cars found west of the site (Pointsettia St), a walkstreet in the middle which divides the two projects, and a pedestrian-only street along with a train station that can be found east of the site (N Santiago St). The private courtyard is oriented towards the pedestrian street while the public courtyard faces the road.

The diagrams illustrate how the units on each level were organized to be able to interact with one another yet remain flexible and efficient, with communal cores and spaces thoughtfully integrated between the units throughout the project.

The project’s facade consists of alternating black and white “blocks” to create the appearance of separated units that become connected by vibrant public communal spaces, such as circulation and cores, symbolizing how individuals find a sense of home through connection and community.

FROGTOWN ARTS & DESIGN CENTER

Frogtown, CA

Fall 2023 | Instructor: Claudia Wainer

Partner: Kirei Ang

The Frogtown Arts and Design Center explores the potential of clay as a building material while embracing its unpredictability as an artistic medium. This project first began as an experiment with two different maquette studies in which both freeform subtraction and exterior manipulation of clay blocks were performed. The final design became one that encases and “protects” individual blocks of programs within an exterior wall, which reflects the community of Elysian Heights as a close-knit community of artists within the city of Los Angeles, in addition to allowing for the exploration of another type of space and ultimately resulting in a layering of spaces understood when the project is “peeled back.” A key driving point of the project’s organization also includes two intersecting datum lines of circulation at the project’s center to allow for uninterrupted circulation throughout the site. To maintain the sequential quality of spaces, the project transitions from rigid to fluid as one moves through the different layers. The facade, constructed from white clay bricks, highlights the natural materiality of clay and forms both the buildings’ exteriors and the surrounding wall. Perforations in the facade enhance the building’s layered transparency, and skylights and larger openings are created through a “punching in” technique, similar to the manual maneuvering of clay.

In addition to the two intersecting datum lines of circulation at the project’s center, the program was also organized based on the hierarchy of public interaction. The placement of programmatic elements both horizontally and vertically while maintaining easy access on the north and south ends of the site as well as intended user interaction was carefully considered, and resulted in a placement that transitioned from the “greatest” public spaces on the east side of the site adjacent to the street to the more private programs on the west side adjacent to a park. The layering of spaces previously mentioned includes: the first layer as the exterior of the building itself, the second layer as the little “pockets” of interstitial spaces between the buildings and the wall where semi-private courtyards can be found, and the third as the interior spaces. Within the buildings’ interior, private programs are placed within the poche while public programs can be found within the open sculpted space.

The building sections further illustrate the layered spaces and its transition from rigidity to fluidity. Perforations on the exterior wall increase in semi-public areas to further illustrate the layering of spaces and transparency.

MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY JAPANESE ART

Little Tokyo, CA

Fall 2021 | Instructor: Noam Saragosti

Situated in an infill lot in Little Tokyo, this museum was designed by organizing the programmatic elements along the two cross sectional sides of the building and then connected through a series of bridges at its center. By stacking programs along the perimeter, the design creates a central grand atrium that serves as a hub for intersecting circulation paths. The envelope reflects the interior qualities of the building and wraps around the pushing and pulling of the floorplates, folding in and out. Where these folds break, the envelope is manipulated to bring natural light into specific rooms, with its form tailored to suit the needs of each program.

Reflecting the split-level condition of the site where the building itself serves as a connection between the front and back elevations, the interior of the museum does the same thing. The programmatic elements were generally stacked on top of one another and loosely pull at each other in the center to play on the idea of motion and fluidity. This creates an opening to bring light down to the ground floor while also maintaining a visual continuity throughout the floors to allow viewers to see between the levels. Taking into consideration the amount of noise and types of programs, the majority of the exhibitions are placed at the back of the site away from the general public, and the rest of the spaces are placed on the opposite side.

IT TAKES A VILLAGE

Ueno Park, Tokyo, Japan

Summer 2024 | Instructor: Irma Ramirez

Partners: Sana Iqbal, Jeric Rosal, Michael Haddadin

This intergenerational education center aims to create a blended community of housing, learning and recreation in order to bridge the growing generational gap between the elderly and the youth and combat issues of loneliness in Japan. Using the datums established by the site context, we designed an active ground floor that resemble a traditional Japanese village that is then juxtaposed by a modern rooftop park which takes on a more curved, free-flowing form. The ground floor includes two housing cores dedicated to the elderly surrounded by cultural education centers such as calligraphy and cooking classes to provide the elderly with new opportunities to teach the youth traditions or life skills. This creates a mutually beneficial exchange as the youth are able to enjoy learning without any additional academic pressures while elders are given the opportunity to make new connections.

The rooftop not only restores the greenery removed from the ground level but also symbolizes the merging of two generations, offering a new, welcoming community space for visitors to Ueno Park. In addition, it reflects the increasingly popular urban typology of rooftop parks in Tokyo, which engage the community by providing visitors an exciting space away from the density of the city. The series of clerestory windows and open to below spaces on top of the rooftop park also allow visitors to glimpse into the activities taking place below, sparking curiosity towards the building, even if they previously had no intentions to.

Ueno Park’s rich history and diverse demographics make it an ideal location for this education center as it offers elders a unique opportunity to live in a space that is both connected and vibrant that serves as a central hub where visitors naturally gather. This setting also recreates the traditional environment many elderly residents likely experienced with their own grandparents, inviting the younger generation to share in a piece of their heritage. Furthermore, the park’s great natural environment provides healing benefits that would otherwise be difficult to achieve in other urban neighborhoods.
