01 Reactivating a Public Space : Logan Square Park THESIS GRADUATE STUDIO | SAIC | SPRING 2019 | ADVISOR: NEIL FRANKEL , TRISTAN D’ESTREE STERK
MAP OF CHICAGO
REACTIVATING LOGAN SQUARE PARK Public spaces shape the experiences of the people
Logan Square
who inhabit them. They are the spaces where people come together for social, cultural, political and economic purposes and where individuals gather to form communities.
N thesis is a proposal that reimagines what is currently

an underutilized public space, at the epicenter of an

otherwise thriving community. The park, located at the busy intersection of three grand boulevards, is W DIVERSEY AVE
to access, thereby discouraging its use. To reactivate this park, my project proposes a rerout-

ing of traffic around the park, and a new architectural intervention designed in order to better serve the current cultural activities of the neighborhood. With this design, I am reimagining a new Logan Square Park that honors the historic value of the area, while looking forward to a new future in the neighbourhood that gives precedence to people over cars and facilitates a space where the community can meet, gather, interact and have fun.

The redesign of Logan Square Park with the incorporation of an elevated architectural structure can potentially become part of a network throughout the city to link multiple parks to one another. The structure has the potential to expand from the park itself along the grand existing green boulevards from Logan Boulevard to Garfield Park. Every park along the way becomes a node in the network, unique to its neighborhood such as the one I developed for Logan Square

02 Obama Presidential Center GRADUATE STUDIO | SAIC | FALL 2018 | PROFESSOR PETER EXLEY
THE OBAMA PRESIDENTIAL CENTER The Obama Presidential Center is an ongoing project on the South Side of Chicago in Jackson Park. The mission embodied in this project that is the OPC is to create a space for the community of South side Chicago to gather, engage with each other, and get involved in city activities. It is also an opportunity to promote education in all its forms and encourage the young generation to reach the highest level of education possible.
Obama Presidential Center design proposal
The building is situated at the center of the site - OBAMA PRESIDENTIAL CENTER -
designed as a gateway entry to the park. This is achieved through separating the ground floor into two volumes with a passage way between them. This passage way acts as an active streetscape that connects the neighborhoods to the lagoon. The street programming includes a healthy cafĂŠ where cooking classes are given, a restaurant, a study room, a bar and other retail opportunities. Because of the large variety of attractions, residents can visit
Lake Michigan
the park without feeling obligated to visit the mu-
Jackson Park
seum every time. The park becomes a destination
Park lagoon
on its own.

AUDITORIUM THEATER, PRECEDENT STUDY These conceptual models are the result of the precedent study of a performance hall, the Auditorium Theater in Chicago. The three variations of this model are an analysis of the types of spaces in a performance venue, the visible and the non-visible, the void and the constructed . The blocks of sand-blasted acrylic represent the voids in the theater in three stages. The white wood blocks rep-

resents the constructed. The first model isolates the stage area which is an empty space meant to be visible to the audience. The second model is a combination of the stage and the seating area destined for the audience to watch the stage as a non-visible party during a performance and visible before and after. The third one includes the non visible backstage space.

The entire site is extruded into a volume.
The volume is divided into 2 parts. The sliding of these 2 volumes in opposite directions results in the appearance of an open public place in continuity with the existing urban plaza.
To highlight the main entrance to the building, a deduction in the volume is made in front of the 3 story high lobby.

STRUCTURE SYSTEM
The existing public plaza is extended onto the site of the tower in order to prevent the interruption of cultural activities.
The entrances to the building are strategically placed according to the high flow of people coming from the subway station exits. There is one main core for vertical circulation.
The column structure is organised on two orthogonal grids following the angles of the site borders.
