Land Use & Site Ecology
Development of the site starts responding to its ecological context by the creation of new habitats that will allow endangered species to regenerate. The soil erosion along with random pathways created by current users have contributed to a big percentage of some unique flora extinction. The flora that grows here has unique qualities for the area of Torrey Pines; it has evolved from their natural species to new species that responde to the levels of sea salt on the environment and the poor humidity of the area. For this reason big efforts are directed to rescue these species that characterized the unique biodiversity of the gliderport site. The implementation of designated pathways for cars, hikers, beach goers, surfer, gliders and pedestrians overall will help to act as a barrier, giving species the opportunity to flourish. At the same time, this allows for local animals to visit the space and create new habitats. Also, the building responds to this effort by insertion of green walls, roof flower gardens and eatable gardens and also allowing air purification inside the building.
Water Cycle
Since water on site is scarce, the designed structure works with preserving and collecting the biggest possible amount of water. The landscape chosen to vegetate the site requires minimum amount of water irrigation preventing the loss of potable water. The irrigation for these are going to come directly from restroom sinks and kitchen area in order to reuse grey waters. The recollection of rainstorm waters are going to be happening on places like the parking, where small in bebe tween parking gardens with stones will allow to filtrate water and then send it to the glider port. Something like this will happen on the golf course perimeter adjacent to the gliderport in order to collect their irrigation waters and send it to glider port for restroom use. The indoor area of the gliderport structure will collect rainstorm water by the interior gardens and then distribute it to restrooms.
Energy Flow & energy future
This gliderport concept seeks to decrease the energy use of the building by using renewable systems for energy and passive methods of lighting heat and cooling. Considering the application of photovoltaic panels a battery room is provided within the program to distribute energy throughout the building. Also the amount of light bulbs and lightning fixtures are reducing due to the big amount of daylight entering to the structure’s interior. This opening will also allow to let the heat escape and maintain the fresh air; while walls are being cooled by being underground. Retractable doors placed on the dining room and the lecture area allows for ventilation while they open for cooling the space or close to prevent heat from escaping. All the mentioned considerations from measure#1 are rere sponsible for reducing footprint of the building, reduce greenhouse emissions and improve building performance for the present and for future power interruptions.
Materials & Construction
Some of the materials selected were considered in order to serve as cooling systems and to allow daylight enter the interior space. Glass walls on the interior of the building are utilize in front of concrete walls, while the roof opening provides with lights for the entire interior. Methods of construction include the calculation for exact feet dimensions on the structure to avoid material leftovers using material standard dimensions. The reuse of the extracted soil is also approached by utilizing it for manipulate other parts of the site.
Light & Air
To provide users with appropriate interior environment daylight, views and fresh air are provided within the entire structure. Daylight enters the structure through roof top openings and glass walls that are protected from heating by adjacent solid walls. The roof top opening will allow for hot air to escape while the rest if the openings invite prevailing northwest winds. These winds can enter by the west sided facade and by foldable doors that makes the wall disappear. While air circulation through the entire structure is happening interior gardens and green walls allows for the indoor air quality. All the mentioned strategies will also be responsible for establishing a connection between user-structure for natural environment appreciation through gardens, site workability and views. All the views can be experience inside as well as outside the building. The inside openings will allows to have a notion of the surrounding environment and the roof top access will get users to some sort of platform toward the cliff that gives a full view of the area.
Long Life, Loose feet
The gliderport design implemented promotes long-term flexibility and adaptability by responding not just to gliding activities but also to other events on the area such as whale watching events and international surfing contests. The structure could be multifunctional and adapt to various users by enlarging or opening spaces trough the manipulation of retractable doors. Its adaptability transforms the structure into a dynamic design. Long-term expectations are the reforestation of the land this reforestation will also occur inside and outside of structure, transforming the building in part of the nature.
Collective Wisdom & Feedback Loops
The sustainable methods must always be considered since the beginning of the design and should not stop until each and every one of it is proved to work. This will allow a full connectivity between programming and sustainable and passive systems. Also, collaboration for researching the entire site have helped to determine which are the biggest issues to address and gives a notion of the entire surrounding to establish networks that connects the community with the structure. At the same time this macro view allows the structure to respond to site and user necessities in a pragmatic way. The creation of scale models that can help support all the above-mentioned system will be the correct way to ensure the structure performance, making test on wind tunnels that show wind patterns and lighting tests as well. Also, the mathematical calculations of the approximate energy consumption will allow measuring sustainability of the whole building and will allow for the revision of energy strategies.

surrounding sites of our areas of interest.
concept
safe bicycle routes for people to enjoy the city. our goal is to locate a few locations along the new routes and designate a bike station for cyclist to rest. we decided to focus on two sites, the convention center and balboa park. both are sigtions to san diego and attract residence and tourist. so we believe a bike station and rest area will be sutible for those environments.
Balboa park is the Nations largest Urban Cultural park, it is the Home to 15 major museums, renowned performing arts venues, beautiful gardens and the San Diego Zoo. Balboa park attracts many visitors daily and we believe a bicycle station will allow bicyclist to stop, rest, lockup there bikes safely and enjoy the surrounding landscape before they continue their ride.
we focused on differnt materials and design methods from numerous of precedents and showcased the ones we felt helped us to develop our design strategies
Downtown San Diego is our secound option to house a bicycle pod. Idealy we would like to see this structure in front of a metro stop to allow easy access to bikes as soon as pedestrians exit the metros. This plaza is located of J street by the convention center, in the station we would like to incorporate over night parking for bicycles and lockers so pleople can leave there belongings over night that way when they return the next day they can get drpped off at this station and be on there

design
the city of san diego is proposing various areas of interest to desinate a bike route. the main goal is develop a more
precedents
proposal
CYCLE PODS we decided early on the desin strategies we wanted to incorporate in the Bicycle Pods. Initallay we wanted to design a structure that can be put in various places along bicycle routes. The structure itself embodies a green roof, solar panel that produces enough energy to power the struture at night and also powers the irrigation system. Next we incorporated perforated metal facades to help increase ventalation throughout the spaces. The concrete walls with a white coating to solar heat to prevent the structure(s) from heating up within.
