30 INSIGHTFUL LESSONS ON SITE DESIGN R. MARTINEZ ARCH 527 SITE AND LANDSCAPE DESIGN 12.15.14

10+10+10

This book is a class assignment chronicling thirty insightful things I’ve learned about site design throughout my time in Washington State University’s Architecture 527 Site and Landscape Design course. This book is divided into three sections focusing on architectural design relative to Human Behavior, Prompting Awareness, and Gestures to Site. These three sections correlated to class exercises focusing on Self-Analysis, Site Analysis, and Site Design.

PART I

SELF-ANALYSIS: HUMAN BEHAVIOR This part of the course required us to reflect on the significant features that compose our personal sacred place of refuge. This place was one that made us feel comfortable and revitalized. Our assigned readings focused on how different environments affect human behavior and comfort. The following pages in this section document ten insightful lessons regarding architectureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impact on human emotions from our given readings.

How the Shape of a Room Can Influence User Behavior “The room is not only the beginning of architecture: it is an extension of self. If you think about it, you realize that you don’t say the same thing in a small room that you say in a large room.”[1] Perception of a space’s program is subconsciously influenced by the proportions of the room. What one does in a large room may not feel possible nor appropriate in a smaller room. An example of this is how the Bishan Public Library changes floor and wall dimensions to promote specific activities in specific spaces. Manipulation of a space’s proportion is an effective tool for manipulating a user actions.

The Power of Light as a Beacon of Interest “My room is on the bottom floor at the end of a long cold hallway, cavelike, but full of its own sunshine. It was my sanctuary.”[2] Light is a powerful tool in creating atmosphere, defining space, and capturing users’ interest. Light can be used as a beacon at the end of a hallway or illuminate a corner of a dark room, drawing users’ attention to a specific area. The contrast of a darker space diffusing into a naturally well-lit space emphasizes this area as being welcoming and closer to nature. This contrast of light and darkness is often used in meditative and sacred spaces, a phenomenon that is often considered alluring and transcendental.

The Intimate Experience Between an Individual & their Surroundings â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many places, probably most places, are by their very nature, private. They are the products of an encounter between a single individual and his surroundings.â&#x20AC;?[3] Each individual is constantly having private moments with the built environment as he or she engages with his or her surroundings. Architecture can be designed to influence the narrative of these private moments. Providing an individual with an intimate space close to nature can prompt users to ponder about the natural environment, allowing them to get lost in a moment that is contemplative and truly a private.

The Comfort and Security of Enclosed Spaces (The Womb) â&#x20AC;&#x153;[A]n enclosed space... often associated with a feeling of wombness, being loved, security, autonomy and privacy, were preferred 12 to one over exposed open spaces.â&#x20AC;?[4] A majority of users consider the experience of being in a completely enclosed space as one that is comfortable and secure. This is in contrast to feeling more vulnerable in large open spaces. Spaces that offer a sense of intimate security are often associated with the primal sense of security and comfort felt by infants in the womb. Providing these types of small and enclosed spaces can bring comfort and refuge for users from their everyday interactions.

The Comfort of Observing Without Being Seen (Prospect and Refuge) “The next most frequently mentioned characteristic was an enclosed space in a large space. An attic with a view over a neighborhood…”[4] Another widely sought after place of comfort are places of Prospect and Refuge. These are places where the user can be an observer with out being seen. This is often associated with providing a sense of perceived safety. Architectural design can be used to create these places, providing users with a revitalizing security and stimulation.

Scale of Place in Correlation to Personal Space and Comfort â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Montana-born may feel claustrophobic in city streets that seem spacious to New Yorkersâ&#x20AC;?[2] Different cultural backgrounds can lead to different perceptions of personal space and comfort. Two places of different size and proportions can offer similar activates as well as different degrees of personal space. Providing different public areas offer different options for users to inhabit where they can feel comfortable.

The Different sides of Mystery and the Unknown “When you were a child there probably were places you could and couldn’t go. We learned to connect busy streets and the yards of cranky neighbors with the dangerous unknown.”[2] Fortified spaces often provide a sense of exclusivity, mystery, and possible danger of the unknown. This can create a powerful impression that can deter trespassers or unwanted guest. This can also provide security and sanctuary for the homeowner or who ever is allowed inside. Ideas of fortification, mystery, and the unknown provide different experiences for different users.

The Power of Distance in Creating Compelling Environments â&#x20AC;&#x153;And here, tucked in a distant corner of the large woodlot, we discovered the most enchanting place, my favorite place.â&#x20AC;?[4] Providing a sense of physical distance from other establishments can allow a space to feel more transformative and detached from the environment around it. This dislocation from a userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immediate surroundings can lend a hand in creating a more compelling and transformative experience by removing all outside distractions. These spaces can be characterized as enchanting or mystical.

Managing the Needs of Individual Preferences and Comfort Levels â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their choice of location indicates what they wish to experience, even if this experience is for only a short duration.â&#x20AC;?[5] Different users have different preferences and comfort levels. It is important to provide a variety of different opportunities for users to inhabit a space to appeal to more visitors. These spaces can be designed to provide subtle variations on the same program such as seating. These variations can focus on different levels of privacy, use, or occupancy.

Attitudes of a Space “Realizing the importance of space as a mean of expressing conflict, Phil J Hart, an architect/therapist, leads couples’ workshops in which he focuses on spatial relationships between partners as a means to explore marital problems.”[4] ? Arrangement and proximity of a building’s massing and program can be used to reflect the social values of the client. This can create environments that celebrate equality and engagement or hierarchy and separation. All architectural design has the opportunity to create or deter interactions. This can be reflective of culture, social, or personal preferences.

SITE ANALYSIS: PROMPTING AWARENESS This part of the course required us to reflect on the significant features that compose our personal sacred place of refuge. This place was one that made us feel comfortable and revitalized. Our assigned readings focused on how different environments affect human behavior and comfort. The following pages in this section document ten insightful lessons regarding architectureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impact on human emotions from our given readings.

Creating Curiosity and Intrigue “Maria’s court is completely hidden; Bico’s alley provides a glimpse. I like the glimpse very much-the public street given a dimension of intrigue mystery, and complexity by private cosmos glimpsed.”[6] Architecture has the ability to create curiosity, stirring interest and luring in people from their predetermined destination. This phenomenon of curiosity can be used to get users to engage in a narrative that they did not intend. Curiosity is often encouraged through glimpses into hidden and unexpected stimulating places. This often provides a sharp and unique contrast to the surrounding environment.

The Power of Sunlight to create Emphasis “The sun in the sky does not realize how wonderful it is until after a room is made. A man’s creation, the making of a room, is nothing short of a miracle. Just think, that a man can claim a slice of the sun.”[1] Natural light is a free and often an abundant resource. When manipulated right, it can become a powerful tool for the designer to transform space and create stunning moments of reflection. The allure often comes from the contrast of light and shadows as well as the ability to manipulate something intangible and evasive.

Using Weathering to Highlight Local Climate â&#x20AC;&#x153;[A]lthough the concrete footing behind the drinking fountain on Burnside Street seems to be reinforced with pigeon droppings. White nodules have petrified onto the ledge there, harder than the concrete that erodes around them.â&#x20AC;?[7] Allowing a structure to be exposed to the weather can create a vivid connection between the building and its natural environment. Visually, the weathering draws attention to the local climate and ? the natural process of aging. Copper is a popular material used to show the stress of weathering through its change in patina. This is often used as a design aesthetic to create a rustic and aged aura.

Using Marker to Identify Site Boundaries and Threshold “There were two garbage cans in the front yard that marked our ? compound.”[2] The power of the implied line can help create invisible thresholds and boundaries without actual doors or walls. Markers can be used to imply a boundary line, letting the user acknowledge a transition between spaces. This helps distinguish a change in the environment and program where the user can act accordingly without being confused. Markers can be made out of different objects such as vegetation, art, or extensions of the building’s structure.

Connecting to the Site through Exposing Users to the Weather “My bedroom is separated from the main body of my house, so that I have to go outside and cross some pseudo-Japanese stepping-stones in order to go to sleep at night. Often I get rained on a little bit on my way to bed. It’s a benediction, a good-night kiss.”[8] Allowing physical exposure to the weather is a powerful way to get the user to acknowledge the natural environment. This works significantly well when exposing a user to things such as rain in places that are typically sheltered and secure from the elements. This can also put into perspective how the built environment desensitizes users from the climate outside, a thing most take for granted.

Fostering Thought by Highlighting Natural Phenomena â&#x20AC;&#x153;It falls through the roof, drips from the steel frame, hits galvanized shingles with a variety of metallic notes signifying intensity.â&#x20AC;?[9] Natural forces such as wind and rain tend to be free and often abundant resources. Designers typically see these as inconveniences to be sheltered from but when harnessed properly, they can become stimulating and entertaining forces in kinetic design. To integrate these forces in the design of a structure can bring wonderment, stimulating thought and conversations about the natural environment.

Creating a Transformative Space for Reflection The place simply memorializes an event, but the spatial characteristics nonetheless seem important to our spatial values.â&#x20AC;?[4] It is important to create a space absent of outside stimulation when trying to create a place of reflection. This space is transformative from the surrounding context, fully engulfing the user in a more sacred environment. A typical strategy in creating such an experience is to visually and sonically cut users off from the outside world so that the user can be fully engaged with their personal feelings and the topic being highlighted.

Filtering Views to Highlight Other Perspectives “…views from all these places through the next layer of leaves or glass or people to the next.”[10] Controlling how the user views the natural environment from inside a structure is often forgotten or defaulted to standard window glazing. With a window, a designer has the opportunity to display and highlight certain feature for the user to observe. A window can go beyond they typical framing of features and instead be used as a filter, creating a distorted lens that highlights certain aspects of the site outside.

Framing to Create Emphasis on Particular Site Characteristics “If you stood in the right place, one of these openings became a perfect frame for Pike’s Peak, solitary and unmistakable, seventy-five miles away to the south.”[11] Framing is a powerful and readily used strategy in manipulating users to focus on certain features outside of the site. Framing connects the structure to entities in the surrounding context that could be hundreds of miles away, thus creating a powerfully relationship that extends beyond the boundaries of the site. This quality tends to make these framed spaces rather special and significant.

Abstracting Characteristics of Nature into Urban Elements â&#x20AC;&#x153;A woman drives her ford explorer from her home in the country, navigating ruts and puddles, to downtown Manhattan, where, with the same casual deftness, she navigates potholes and cobblestones...the contemporary consumer aspires to live in both the city and the country and the demands of both places are pretty much the same.â&#x20AC;?[12] Abstracting nature into an urban environment not only distills and acknowledges the essence that make up these natural features but it also stimulates the conversation of the built environmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relationship to natural landscape that was once been located there. The success of Ira Keller Fountain demonstrates our primal instincts to explore and climb as well as brings up the idea of what we find so alluring in nature that might be missing in the urban environment.

PART III

SITE DESIGN: GESTURES TO SITE This part of the course required us to propose a new site design and building for Pullmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Planned Parenthood. The intent of this assignment was to reconnect the complex with the site given the lessons we learned throughout the course. The following pages in this section document ten insightful lessons regarding how architecture can physically celebrate and gesture to the existing site.

Using Architecture to Celebrate the Surrounding Site â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whenever two or more parts meet, there is an opportunity to express an attitude of engagement/interdependence versus estrangementâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;?[13] Every site is unique, offering various opportunities for architecture to celebrate the surrounding context. The attitude in which architecture engages with these features can determine how users view their relationship with the land. These expressions can be achieved through the gestural form of the building mass, transparency, or material.

Connecting Architecture and Weather â&#x20AC;&#x153;The latter consisted of a two-mile-long water feature, originating as a hillside waterfall and becoming a terraced cascade of water staircase.â&#x20AC;?[14] All architecture is exposed to weather. The way that the structure engages with these elements can create a powerful and informative relationship with the site and its unique climate. Architecture can be designed to highlight natural processes such as the rain cycle at the Salk Institute. Instead of letting rainwater drain off with a standard grading of the site, it is turned the drainage of the rain into a theatrical spectacle that visitors find mesmerizing and iconic.

Connecting Architecture to the Site By Mimicking Dominate Textures â&#x20AC;&#x153;When hills or trees or other textures are strong on a site, the house can be made to blend into the landscape and seem a part of it. [I]t can give the impression of being at one with its surroundings, and consonant with them.â&#x20AC;?[15]

A building can be made to seem cohesive with the site if the mimicking the strong textures of the surrounding environment. This will make the structure seem as if it sprouted up with the rest of its surroundings. Mimicking these textures can be accomplished in material application or in the form of the buildings itself.

Using a Facade to Engage with Prominent Elements of the Site (Enfronting) “Enfronting the site requires one face of a house to be made special in order to address a certain feature of the site.”[15] The façade of a building is another design element one can use to celebrate a specific feature of the site. Enfronting is a spatial design term describing a building’s facade that engages with some element of the site. This façade is characteristically different from other faces of the building as it engages and responds to a special feature on the site. This may call for a change in material or a unique gesture of form. This response reflects the buildings values a certain feature on the site, wanting the user to acknowledge it as well.

Putting the Natural Environment on Display “Elements of the house close around a part of the land to make a private domain outdoors. The closure may be only partial, or it may be complete, accomplished either by the house itself or the house and an adjacent garden or courtyard wall.”[15] Architecture can engage with the site by bringing the natural environment inside. This puts natural vegetation on display to be valued and admired. It also allows for an uncharacteristic, protected, and intimidate experience with nature that is not typical in the “wild.” Even if the vegetation maybe tamed or untamed, it prompts users to engage and acknowledge the beauty of the surrounding site.

Blending Architecture with Prominent Natural Features of the Site â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is also possible to make houses on open land merge with their background by placing them near or against some prominent feature of the terrain.â&#x20AC;?[15] It is important to not overpower and impose on the environment if a designer wants to create a cohesive relationship with the site, a relationship where the structure is there to celebrate and observe the beauty of the site rather than to dominate and transform. One way to achieve this is to blend the structure with a prominent feature on the site so it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t draw attention away from the natural environment but highlights it unique terrain.

Blending Architecture into the Horizon â&#x20AC;&#x153;A house on open rural land can also be made to merge with its background by keeping its profile horizontal or low.â&#x20AC;?[15] In a sparse environment, a structure can be blended into its surroundings if it stays low and horizontal against the horizon line. This strategy is useful when trying to create a less noticeable structure in an open area. This low profile blends in with the horizon of flat open areas as well as lets natural features dominate the skyline.

Using the Landscape as an Extension of the Architectural Narrative “Many architects realize that landscape can work in dialogue with buildings, helping to expand a narrative beyond what any building could accomplish alone.”[16] The landscape outside of the structure can work extend the building’s design agenda. The structure’s surrounding landscape extends the realm of the building’s narrative to the outside, thus continuing the experience and creating a more powerful and cohesive relationship with the site. Topography, vegetation, and water all have the opportunity to be players in extending thisx narrative.

Mimicking Surrounding Natural Geometry with Architectural Form â&#x20AC;&#x153;Geomorphic: Man extracts the idea for built forms from the site and landscape. He gets involved with it and interprets it in architecture.â&#x20AC;?[17] x

Architectural form can derive inspiration from natural geometries around the site. This demonstrates that the designer acknowledges the importance of these forms to the character of the site as they translate nature into built form. As users explore these structures, they are prompted to acknowledge the unique forms of the site as well.

Architecture Parallel to Nature “The cave, the mountain, the valley, the water edge and the plain are only the most obvious models for architecture which become man’s own creation, parallel to that of nature. That ‘built forms are influenced by ideas of nature’ is a generally held conviction.”[17] Architecture is always responding to the natural environment, whether the designer chooses to or not. Each structure has the opportunity to create a unique engagement with each given site by reacting to or extending ideas from the surround landscape. When a designer chooses to engage with the landscape the resulting structure in essence becomes parallel to nature.
