Architecture has to be designed in such a way that it maintains occupancy. We design with the user in mind. As architects, we Photoshop people into our renderings of architecture to make it believable, and draw silhouettes in sections to cognize how a space works. In order to be understood as architecture, a space or building must be occupied. It must be occupiable, otherwise it cannot be architecture; it becomes strictly art, the way a car that is perfectly polished becomes an object of beauty instead of utilitarian when put in a museum.
PURPOSE AS AN ARCHITECT
Architecture is not a strictly aesthetic art form. It must meet a series of expectations derived from each individual project. Sure, projects strive to please the eye, but a project’s success takes more into consideration than just how beautiful it is, but how it is used. A highly efficient building that is seemingly perfect on paper that fails to attract and activate people cannot be deemed successful. Program is what has the ability to make or break a project, to really stimulate a building. If done well, a building can become a local icon in that it becomes a participant in everyday life and potentially can transcend beyond the local sphere. When programming, it is important to weigh the expected and required but also to anticipate unpredictable events. Perhaps the current needs in programming are not to cross-program, trans-program, or dis-program but to remove preconceived notions of what a specific program requires. Precedent studies are a wonderful tool, but should be used to help redefine program. The current understanding of so many programs is based on typology; a library has been a place to store books in the past, but now needs to recognize the increasing amount of auditory and visual medias, and the use of the internet by its users. Rem Koolhaas did an exemplary job in taking the library and updating what was thought to be an understood program in his Seattle Central Library. Part of what has made many of the Renaissance buildings last so long is how easily they could be reworked into new programs. In Palladio s Four Books on Architecture, he discusses the need for a variety of room sizes: small, medium and large. This arrangement has allowed people to easily adapt the programs of the room to modern uses, and has kept otherwise dated architecture relevant in today s society. I do not suggest that the specific details of Palladio’s Four Books On Architecture are to be followed to the T, and are the modern solution to programming, just that a foresight of how things might change with time is necessary. A variety of scale of spaces within a project allows it to adapt well to both users and time. iii

Aperture, n. an opening, an open space between portions of solid matter; a gap, cleft, chasm, or hole (Oxford English Dictionary, 2013). The idea of introducing open spaces, physically, visually, and programmatically, throughout my building has led to the concept of aperture. Associating it with the colloquial connotation, the opening of a shutter in an analog camera, openings are created to relate the cone of vision and the experience of the individual into and through the high-rise. Apertures
through the building take away from the physical mass by allowing visual connectivity through and beyond the building helping to inform program relationships, and to create interesting spatial experiences. There is one primary aperture that opens the building from the entry to the skyline beyond, allowing views, light, and air to move through the mass of the building, inventing the relationship of mass and void. transparent, or open program-- program that can be publicly accessed, or involves a more collaborative environment. Throughout there are programmatic pairs of solid and
and a complimenting program, introduced for an improved experience. To preserve the Aronson building, the historic building on the site, I am re-presenting the building by encasing it in glass. Wrapping the existing building in glass, like a jewel box, will evoke new interest in the previously mundane façade. To further revitalize, programmatic voids are inserted, such as the high-rise’s core and a space for hack-a-thons at the pedestrian level.

Park Roulade
Samantha Buckley
A mix of breaking boundaries and play. Park Roulade is a public space containing learning facilities for a Parkour Academy and a Culinary Institute. The landscape is also programmed for many other activities. The park caters to the diverse surround of Downtown Oakland and the city’s very popular Art Murmur art walk. On the first Friday of each month, the Culinary Institute will cater to the public various appetizers from the kitchen in the tasting area. The Parkour Academy will also demonstrate their newest skills alongside street performers filling the various stages. While walking through, the flooring of the pathways changes back and forth between concrete, synthetic lumber, grass, and herb gardens. These changes are designed around the potential for a contemplative moment. A contemplative moment can be a result of various things from the usual cup of coffee to a place to catch your breath, people watch, or reflect.
Creating access to what is “off limits”. The aggregate skin condition is composed of concrete tubes averaging in a two foot diameter. The skin provides easy accessibility to the roof tops. To blend with the landscape, the skin fades into the flooring when they meet at an obtuse angle.
