CONTEXT AND CONCEPT

PROJECT OVERVIEW

AFFORDABLE HOUSING

The city of Chicago is planning to develop an empty lot to provide affordable housing and retail for the neighborhood’s increasing displaced population. The site, located in Pilsen on Chicago’s Lower West Side, sits to the south of the active Metra rail lines and adjacent to the city’s newest “rails-to-trails” initiative, the Paseo Trail. To the west of the site is Pilsen’s existing commercial corridor lined with local restaurants and small businesses. The city aims to test various densities of planning, requiring a 50% parking ratio and at least 25% open space. It will be zoned as RM-6 and treated as a planned development (PD).

HISTORY

PILSEN, CHICAGO

In 1910, on the corner of 18th Street and Halstead, a Pilsen resident walked out of the garment factory she worked in, protesting poor working conditions and unfair wages. Her call for change echoed throughout Chicago, sparking the Garment Worker’s Strike of 1910. This led to the formation of the largest clothing workers unions in the country. The strength and courage to advocate for herself and her community is a common trait seen in Pilsen residents throughout history and in present day.

URBAN FABRIC

City Neighborhood

Neighborhood Site

THE WEAVE CONCEPT TO SITE

The first step in the garment making process is the procurement of the fabric. The power loom became the key invention for this manufacturing process, using various dynamic components to achieve a woven fabric.

Diagramming the motions of a loom develops several ideas of direction and movement. An idea of two things sliding past each other to allow something else to move through it is translated into urban scale moves on the site.

Vehicle Circulation: Weaving in the existing urban fabric to create logical street circulation and service space for parking and alleyways.

Power Loom

The heddles of the loom move past each other vertically, separating threads of the warp, allowing the shuttle to weave the threads of the weft.

Weave

Several dynamic elements make up the machine, placing a focus on layering directions of movement.

THE ASSEMBLY CONCEPT TO SITE

The factory process for garment manufacturing was perfected during the second industrial revolution. A need for efficiency bred simplified strategies in the floor plan arrangements of input and output.

When examining the factory process, it becomes clear that the human action happens in relation to the common resource. The site can then be oriented to achieve a similar understanding of space, order, and program.

Residential Programming: Assembling the residences on the site in the same manner as the factory: blocks of living spaces oriented around community spaces, like amenities in the lobby of the apartment building.

Organization

The layout of these facilities separated workers into cutting and sewing teams for streamlined production.

Assemble

Cutting teams move cut fabric patterns to a central communal table for the sewing teams to gather and reassemble.

THE STITCH CONCEPT TO SITE

Cutting teams take rolls of the woven fabric and cut patterns from the whole. These patterns designed for the contours of the body are then passed through the factory production line to be sewn back together.

Once the cut patterns reach the sewing teams, they are re-assembled to be joined together by various types of stitches. The act of the stitch is repetitive and layered, allowing for creations of new and richer wholes.

Pedestrian

Circulation: Stitching all sides of the site back together with pedestrian walkways that run adjacent to restaurants and retail and connect back to the shared street along the major outdoor space at the Paseo Trail.

Pattern Cutting and Sewing

Cutting teams cut geometries called patterns from sheets of fabric and pass along to be sewn back together.

Stitch

Various stitch patterns are used to reattach patterns and create new wholes.

PLANNING AND PROGRAM

SITE SEQUENCE

CONCEPT TO SITE

Following the same sequence fabric travels through to become a finished garment, the site must experience each step in the process.

Examining a woven fabric informs proportions, scales, and layers within the newly formed site. These layers occur as broadly as city street grids and as personally as sidewalks and entry pathways.

Garment Workers’ Mural on Paseo Trail

SITE PLAN CONCEPT

The existing city street grids reestablishes itself on the empty lot, weaving the urban fabric of Chicago back together.

The residences are then distributed orienting themselves around the retail center of the site and the community space housed in the apartment building lobby.

The residences are then woven together using indoor and outdoor community bridges.

Features of the site plan include a continuation of 18th Street’s commercial corridor on the new Peoria Street; a shared street to the west, adjacent to the Paseo Trail, promoting walk-ability and engagement with the outdoors; additional pedestrian paths connecting the edges of the site back to the Paseo Trail.

ROOF PLAN CONCEPT

The enhancement of this historic community continues as residences are distributed above ground floor retail and around communal areas. A series of elevated indoor and outdoor bridges act as community and amenity spaces, weaving residences together again.

The outdoor bridges are accessible by exterior staircases and weave over smaller housing typologies. The public is able to explore seating areas, pergola covered grilling stations, and communal garden spaces.

The apartment building is woven together with two interior bridges that span over Peoria Street. These spaces hold amenities like a sewing education center, fitness gym and yoga studio, and community kitchens.

PROGRAM

SUSTAINABILITY AND WELLNESS

Retention Pond

This pond collects and consolidates water during heavy rainfall. It also creates a wellness destination for the community.

Permeable Pavers

Made of a porous concrete or stone, water can slowly penetrate the surfaces leading to better drainage and filtered runoff.

Bioswales

These vegetated storm water management systems maintain a walkable, green street-scape while treating and filtering water.

Roof Gardens

Wellness is increased through vegetated and well circulated green spaces. Some in which are elevated for better views.

Waste Management

Waste is consolidated with convenient trash chutes that use a vacuum system to transfer trash to the service center to be processed.

Solar Panels

Throughout the site there are more than 1,200 panels producing a total of 360 KW. This is the optimal amount for a site this large.

Service Center

The service center stores excess energy and rain water. It also services the retention pond, maintaining its water level.

BUILDING AND DEVELOPMENT

BUILDING

CONCEPT TO FORM

Referring back to motions of the power loom, the apartment building is formed reflecting different components of the machine.

The main bar buildings shift past each other like heddles of a loom, the difference in height representing the vertical displacement of the threads of the warp.

The community bridges weave over and through the bar buildings in the perpendicular direction, achieving the weft of the woven fabric.

FLOOR PLANS

1ST AND 2ND

The ground level and 2nd floor of the apartment building sit on either side of Peoria Street. Entrances are easily noted underneath the above community bridges.

A restaurant and bar fills the street-front along 18th Street while a cafe at the southern end of the west bar building’s lobby connects the building to the pedestrian path.

Ground Floor Plan

2nd Floor Plan

FLOOR PLANS

3RD AND 4TH

The first community bridge connects both apartment bars at the 3rd floor with a community kitchen and public workspaces at either end and the sewing education center in the space spanning over the street.

The 4th floor allows a double height space in the main community areas. However the floor plate of the apartment continues through the bridge space, allowing one to weave over or through the amenity space.

3rd Floor Plan

4th Floor Plan

FLOOR PLANS

5TH AND 6TH

The second community bridge connects continuously at the 5th floor with smaller breakout spaces at the 6th floor overlooking the active double height spaces.

Where the bridges weave into the apartment building, a change in program and articulation occurs. Studio apartments infill spaces with floor-toceiling glass windows, again calling to the warp and weft patterns of weaving.

5th Floor Plan

6th Floor Plan

FLOOR PLANS

7TH AND 8TH

The 7th and 8th floors are uninterrupted by bridges weaving through and maintain the stitch pattern of the 1 bedroom units and 2 bedroom corner units.

UNITS

CONCEPT TO FORM

Recalling the repetitive over-under motion of stitch patterns, the facade of the apartment building layers to reflect this step of the garment making process.

Two unit types are developed from this stitch pattern, integrating the balcony into the peak or valley of the form.

UNIT PLAN

TYPICAL STUDIO

Window walls in the studio units allow daylight to reach as much of the floor area as possible.

Studio units are organized with a wet wall to allow for the mechanical and plumbing equipment to be vertically continuous when the floor plan changes to a one-bedroom above or below.

Studio - 440 sf

Studio Apartment: A window wall washes the kitchen and living space with daylight while the bed area is pulled further into the unit, giving it some privacy.

UNIT PLAN

1 BEDROOM

Two one bedroom unit types exist in either a peak or a valley to create the undulating stitch of the facade.

Living spaces have window walls that open onto a private balcony. Bedrooms have punched window openings in a solid wall to provide privacy from the balcony.

Unit (B) - 890 sf

Unit (A) - 900 sf

One-Bedroom Apartment: A U-shaped kitchen opens to the living area, granting views and daylight to both gathering spaces.

UNIT PLAN

2 BEDROOM

Two types of two bedroom units exist at the corners of the building, providing either a large extending corner living space or a private corner balcony.

Bedrooms at either exterior wall follow the same rule with punched openings, while the living spaces maintain window walls for light and air.

Unit (B) - 1,250 sf

Unit (A) - 1,220 sf

Two-Bedroom Apartment: The corner living room and kitchen are surrounded with daylight, opening onto a balcony with panoramic views.

ELEVATION

WEST

Recalling the motions of the loom and dynamics of a weave, the stitch pattern of the elevation is broken up by horizontal bands of glass where the bridges meet the building.

A vertical weave is achieved with alternating fenestration patterns that indicate the program of the spaces behind it.

COMMUNITY BRIDGES

AMENITIES

Community bridges weave into the building at the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th floors.

The 3rd/4th floor bridge provides more public amenities that can be accessed by the public from the elevator lobby at the ground floor.

The 5th/6th floor bridge provides amenities private to the residents of the building. Fitness areas span over the street, placing active spaces on display as visual connections to the community from the ground.
