Treasure Island, San Francisco
CLASS
Apocalypse Now! The Post COVID-19 City
Treasure Island is an almost 600-acre artificial island that lies in the middle of the San Francisco Bay. The island's current development plan creates an active corridor only along the South East edge and assumes that most residents will leave the island to work. This proposal seeks to activate more of the island for both residents and visitors by branching out its central core towards the sport, recreational and agricultural area. The proposal has two inflection points that act as nodes for people to gather. Our intent is to hyperintensify the nodes to drive foot traffic and create a hub of activity beyond the existing active zone. To achieve this, the project focuses on activating the ground floor with a mixed-use of retail, cultural, educational, industrial, work, and service-based spaces.

Work-From-Home-Neighborhood / U R B A N
For years there has been a rapid increase in people working from home (WFH), especially in places like the Bay Area; this has accelerated dramatically due to the COVID-19 crisis. Work from home 43% of employees work remotly with frequency. (2018) Could work from home 56- 62% of employees have a job that could be done remotely. (2019) Want to work from home 80% of employees want to work from home at least some of the time. (2019)

The full spectrum of uses will bring diversity and hybrid programs to the island. The same space will be more usable throughout the day and year. As a result, Treasure Island becomes a rich environment with a mixture of commercial and common space.

Neighborhood corridors can support WFH, or work near home, by hybridizing the workplaces with social infrastructure (daycare, healthcare, groceries, exercise).

Our new plan focuses on developing a selfsufficient neighborhood that provides for the residents' daily needs and extends the length of visitors' stays. We create spaces for residents to work remotely, hybridized areas for both production and consumption, and hubs of social interaction that create a sense of place.

Retail Apocalypse / U R B A N
Shinjuku Station is an intricate labyrinth of transportation terminals and shopping centers, connected by underground passageways. The complex houses five train and subways lines, each owning at least one major department store or shopping mall. With millions of people traveling in and out every day, Shinjuku Station is designed to support a high velocity of circulation. Two-hundred exits and interwoven retail create a porous layout ideal for this amount of foot traffic. The design facilitates a frictionless transition between shopping and traveling, aided by the use of Japan's prepaid and rechargable smartcards. These IC cards, used for both transportation and commerce, advance the fluid exchange of goods and services within the station. The diversity and mixture of building uses, bring a people at all hours— making it the busiest train station in the world.

Haight-Asbury is a family- friendly neighborhood, but there is a separation between child-friendly (red in drawings) and adult-friendly (blue in visuals) systems. Protocols of family life and zoning are geared to redistribute the burden of childcare that will liberate parents without compromising childcare.
Site analysis reveals a clear distinction of space, time and activities in adults' and children's social life.

Unresolved Legibility & Dramas of Critical Banality
The locational context of this lake house elicits the use of characteristics to add clarity to otherwise inconclusive architectural legibility.
30
A lake house has amphibious qualities dictated by the shoreline, which represents a threshold between two worlds. Often in popular imagination, the lake house is layered with contradictory representations. It evokes a
vision of comfort and security, yet also portrays a dwelling of vulnerability and isolation. A lake house can be an escape from chaotic routines in a habitual life in favor of a reclusive lifestyle. Thus, it's depicted as a mysterious place with a sense of ambiguity and spatial drama.
A collaboration with Dev Chand
M A R IA A N T O N I E TA
Though often perceived as adjacent to the lake, the lake house may belong to the land or the water—or neither.
31
Reflective qualities of a lake create a calm environment—a space for leisure, romance, or even recreation. Alas, this perception is disorted by the legends of monsters, mystery and murder of lake folklore.
A house between two worlds, The Lake House is built for the recluse. The use of elements such as deck, porch, bridge, etc, help carry visual clarity. In plan and section, the house becomes the inbetween water and land.
