An arboretum is a space dedicated to the collection, conservation, research, and display of living trees. Arboreta use their collections to study and conserve trees, providing space for the intentional preservation of specific trees and shrubs for educational and scientific purposes. Distinct from a forest, nursery, or park, arboreta are spaces where varieties of trees are grown for the purpose of research, education, and exhibition.

Among the similarities between the natural and artificial worlds is the centrality of structural systems. Regardless of provenance, structure shapes the material life of virtually every form. Most generally, structure may be thought of as a reaction to forces at play in a gravitational field and as such bears intimate relation to the formal language of objects.

Structure is, whether explicitly revealed or not, a geometric language that is not only responsive to the paths of gravitational loads moving through matter but a force which organizes the tectonic vitality, organization, and space of architecture.

Arboreta use their collections as archives for research, documenting biodiversity among and within species. This work is critical to the survival of trees and our planet, as a diverse collection of trees is more likely to survive the environmental stresses which are increasing each year in scale, magnitude, and frequency.

Sectional Perspective

Arboreta are specialized botanical gardens that feature trees and other woody plants (but may also include other kinds of plants). They are places where endangered plants and trees are protected and propagated in order to preserve the biological diversity of our planet.

The project focuses on the relation of structure to architectural design and examines different techniques of expression and form finding through its development. There are fragments of architectural components assemble together are emphasized toward a conscientious expression of both the physical and aesthetic role of structure on form.

Water & Greenery

It celebrates the water chanel with aquaticplants as a symbol of its decorative and ecological richness to grow an example of the complex water system. The complex water system allowed the water to flow out in the form of a shallow surface through the arches and running along the colonades.

The the propotional and shapes frame the visual canvas colorised by diverse vegetations and creatures.

Atrium & Coutyard

The space embedded verandas as a circulation route surrounding the atrium and isolating the couryards and zones. plants contribute to reshapin the spatial pattern and layers, and provides a playful walking experience as well as fantastic views.

The opens present variations according to different landscapes and spatial functions. It’s closely combined with the curved edges of the arches and atrium, hence forming several arc-shaped transparent spaces, which integrate the nature, architecture, and sky into the same picture.

Hosing Resilience & Programming which help communities form, stay in place, touch, and thrive, by creating the opportunities for people to be able to equitably and easily meet their own and neighbors’ needs. Healthcare, Education, Maker Space + Jobs Training, and Food Distribution are many broad categories of localized need which innovative programmatic relationships and architecture may make more accessible and less intimidating.

A primary objective of the projecrt is to demonstrate the power of program in the expanded field of architectural design. To that end, the phased term project presents an opportunity to create new programs that will cultivate new architectural and urban form.

There will develop programmatic and architectural ideas for rethinking approaches to a range of emerging and entrenched issues in Los Angeles:

1. sustainable, cost-effective, and timely adaptive re-use of low-quality construction; 2. emergency accommodations for unhoused and housing insecure Angelenos; 3. Targeted programs for community resilience; and 4. housing justice. The project will move from fieldwork, research, and humanistic study, to concept development, to spatial-demographics, to site design and building program, to schematic formal development.

Surplus Food from Retailers

Date label concerns account for 50% of food waste at the retail stage. Many retailers found it difficult to accurately order correct amounts of stock, leading to shortages and waste.

“Grocery stores in the neighborhood is not the cheapest one I can find. I prefer driving 15 minutes to Food 4 Less. But inflation is driving up all the price tags. want cheaper food alternatives that’s close by.”

“It is not easy to get myself back on track without anything to begin with. I really want to get some money and a small shelter and slowly make my life back on track. will do anything to make it happen if anyone would like to give me a chance.”

“It is tiring for me to commute 2 hours one-day from Santa Clarita Valley to here. I really want more time to rest and perhaps an accommodation nearby is good to save time and do something else.”
