MGA CAMPUS MASTERPLAN

MGA HQ-CONCEPTUAL PLAN Transform the underutilized 24-acre site of the former LA Times Chatsworth printing facility into a vibrant new corporate, residential and retail campus. The existing 255,000SF building will be transformed into creative office and production space, and the surrounding acres of concrete and asphalt will give way to 4 new buildings containing 660 units, neighborhood retail and abundant amenities.

MGA HQ-CONCEPTUAL BUILDING SECTION

The core tenets of MGA Entertainmentâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Wellness, Community and Whimsyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;inform the organization, amenities and character of the project. Central to the design is a varying connective network of open space which ties the campus together. Diverse nodes, each comprising different social zones and unique features, define the character of the immediate locale and are connected by landscaped pedestrian paths. These nodes incorporate a variety of amenities including an amphitheater with outdoor screen, village green, transit plaza, dog park, community gardens, two pool plazas and sports park. Woven through the perimeter of the project is a trail that is both a promenade and an exercise path, landscaped with canopy trees, native shrubs and drought tolerant grasses, which connects the campus to the surrounding natural landscape. The corner retail plaza and commercial space create an inviting retail element at the ground floor and connect to existing retail across Winnetka Blvd. In addition, a shuttle circulating from the campus transit plaza provides residents and employees linkage to regional transit centers. A new bike lane ties to the existing LA City bicycle network.

In 2012, the City of Lemesos held a competition for architects to propose designs for the Lemesos Museum of Art in the shoreline district. One of the competitionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aims was to contribute to the consolidation of a cultural center composed of iconic architectural and programmatic attractants, projecting a singular and contemporary identity on behalf of the city. Our proposal integrates and reveals the complex layers of history and urbanism that weave through this site, where the Lemesos Museum of Art will be situated for years to come. Acknowledging these complexities, the strategy was to adopt the existing, diagonal circulation axis which generated a binary museum organization of permanent and temporary collections. Interstitial perimeter zones create a buffer between institution and city while enabling impromptu events and large scale installations a visibility beyond the walls of the museum. We were interested in offering an architectural vision where the paradox and conflicts between building and city, diversity and simplicity, individual and populace erode. As Lemesos seeks to reinvent its cultural center, this building capitalizes on the seduction and impact of the singular image while sustaining that effect through the attenuation of complex informational, structural,and atmospheric systems.

History The Tustin Hangars occupy a plot of land which had been a part of a large rancho. Tustin was once the home for acres of orange groves and other agricultural sources. However, after the outbreak of WWII, the site was taken by the U.S. Military. It was then used as a Navy lighter-than-air (LTA) base, which ran blimp patrols along the coastlines. During the Korean War, the site transformed its operations to a helicopter training facility. In July 1999, The Tustin Marine Corps Air Base closed down, opening up a new opportunity for design.

OVERALL FORM OF THE BUILDING Design Scheme The scheme for this project has been taken literally from the objective for the community to be taking back the site. Adopting the notion of an extension of the urban grid, the site and hangar are pierced by angled paths which are aligned to the neighboring streets. The grid extensions and the access points of the site were the determining factors for placement of the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s circulation and the division of spaces and programs within. The angle from the extended grid not only rotated the axis for the circulation on an x and y plane, but on the z axis as well, creating multiple ramps that penetrate the hangar off the ground. These ramps provide circulation that connects different programs on different levels in a smooth and flowing manner. Programs Using the historic nature of the site as a premise, the concept of the project developed towards moving forward by referring to what came before. Taking into account the rich agricultural history of the site and Tustin in general, the driving program behind the project became horticulture. It became the main concept for all other programs to stem from. With the amount of open space available in the hangar, a conservatory seemed most fitting to take advantage of the hangarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s height. The only issue was the amount of light that entered the hangar, and so this led to the stripping of the existing skin and replacing it with glass and solar panels.

BIRD EYE VIEW In addition to the conservatory came supporting programs, and in an effort to not only refer to the past and traditional methods of gardening/farming, but to introduce and instill in the community ideas and desires to keep advancing, it was decided to add a community hydroponic garden.

3RD FLOOR PLAN

To help determine the necessary supporting programs, the concept for the programs was divided into three “sub-concepts” of relationships with people: between people and nature, among people themselves, and with oneself. The conservatories and hydroponic garden provided the connection between people and nature. For connections between people, an exposition space provided the most fluid solution as it allows for an unlimited amount of possibilities of human interaction in sharing information, skills, talents, and fruits of one’s labor. A fitness center, along with the community garden would provide for the physical wellbeing of people in connecting with oneself.

Set upon a panoramic plateau in the ancient district of Sardinia’s capital city will soon sit the Cagliari Galerie Comunale D’Art’s new extension. Our concept formulates a network of separate but interconnected “clusters” that unfold, open and invite museum visitors inside. Single-height exhibition spaces are anchored by four clusters, each with an adjoining sculpture garden. Gallery volumes and arrangements were inspired by seminal works within the museum’s permanent collection, including ancient bronze and marble statues and works by the late Renaissance painter Pietro Cavaro. The museum extension is designed to complete the cultural complex while preserving centenary trees and visually opening to the ancient fortified wall and city beyond. Simple, primitive forms and local materials reflect a Sardinian sensibility, while the gesture of breaking up the new museum into discreet volumes transforms the simple cluster of galleries into an architecture that is at once contextual and abstract. A very direct organizational logic yields a form that works effectively for both internal and external spaces. Planned within a Cartesian grid, all museum program with exception of galleries is efficiently organized on axis with the historic 18th Century Beaux Arts museum. By rotating the galleries 20 degrees to true north, optimum solar orientation enables naturally illuminated exhibition spaces with northern light. The combination of spatial diffusion and gallery rotation also afford exceptional views from all spaces of the museum creating a sense of transparency and connection to the remarkable Cagliari landscape and Mediterranean Sea.

Just as interior and exterior spaces interpenetrate, so do two types of forms: the orthogonal-polygonal, as perceived from the exterior, and the organic, which produces a series of spatial surprises or ‘follies’. Occurring at passage points of incongruency between rotated galleries and the rest of the museum, the follies create connections. Where the exterior building envelope is heavy and rough, composed of locally-formed, sand-cast concrete the folly materiality is soft, transparent and irrational. With an almost labyrinthine character, visitors traverse the museum through a grand circulation loop of intervening spaces, ultimately returning to their starting point. “Short cuts’ through outdoor sculpture galleries create a multitude of alternate paths. Exterior and interior spaces overlap to provide the best environment possible for each function, and optimal climatic performance. The design of roof forms and oculus were developed with a parametric model whereby environmental analysis of daylighting, shading and insolence informed design decisions.

I CHICAGO PUBLIC TRANSIT-BUS STOP

Architectural Design and Computation - Advanced Studio Instructor: Thomas J. McLeish Illinois Institute of Technology Type: Civic Team Member: James Hwangbo, Albert Cuesta Reig, Keojin Jin

The main focus of this studio is about clearly articulating and expressing design decisions such that they may be acted upon using computational tools. The foundation for this requires understanding the context, goals, parameters, variables, and constraints for design decisions. The architectural problems we will address are the spatial and programmatic opportunities of the Chicago Public Transit system.

JAMES HWANGBO

In construction of rules, we tried two different approaches each considering surrounding buildings and user of the bus stop. First, we tried to connect important attraction points around the particular bus stop, which are most of time in Chicago sky scrappers. Angles and heights of the roof change accordingly to their sizes and distances from those specific view frames. Second, peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s circulation on the ground plane can affect the location and angle of the vertical elements of the bus stops. Therefore we applied street-side wall to follow the flow of the people coming in, and the roadside wall according to the view of the bus. Lastly, based on ridership data we got from FOIA, CTA department, we tried to differentiate each different stationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening based on their average user amount. These points are preset among the end lines of the vertical wall controlling the angle of the panes at the same time.

PHYSICAL MODEL

JAMES HWANGBO

MATERIAL INVESTIGATION AND FABRICATION PHASE Materials such as concrete, steel, aluminum and wood veneer were our option for construction material. Among these material, we have chosen wood veneer as our construction material because wood veneer is light-weighted structure, capable of bending and aesthetically pleasing.

SINGLE CURVATURE STUDY Single curvature study was done to demonstrate the bend strength, cracking point and folding radius. Pro: easy to bend, easily controlled bending Con: single directional bend, requires large number of layers for enhancing strength

DOUBLE CURVATURE STUDY (HAND MADE) Double curvature study was done to demonstrate the bend strength, cracking point and folding radius. Pro: multiple directional bend, greater strength with less layering Con: difficult to bend, uncontrolled curve, need to remove excessive wood area

DOUBLE CURVATURE STUDY (USING CNC MACHINE) Double curvature study was done to demonstrate the bend strength, cracking point and folding radius. Pro: multiple directional bend, greater strength with less layering, controlled curve Con: difficult to bend, need to remove excessive wood area, size limitation JAMES HWANGBO

The Fire station 49 is located in the near North side of Chicago, Illinois, United States. The site composed of many unique characteristics of Chicago and optimal location to suffice the need of Fire station. One of the unique characteristic of this site is that it has Chicago ‘L’ on the site. Chicago ‘L’ is the rapid transit system serving the city of Chicago and some of its surrounding suburbs. Chicago Transit System gained its nickname because large part of the systems are elevated, although some portions of the network are in subway tunnels at grade level, or open cut. The photo on the left shows current occupancy and use of the site and Chicago ‘L’ slicing through the site. The concept of the design is to educate Chicagoans regarding Fire fighters service through transparency and location of each programs and to create an architecture that promote openness and stainability.

EXTERIOR VIEW The programs of Fire station 49 are: apparatus bay, apparatus support, apparatus storage, alarm communication office, dispatch office, captain office, conference room, training rooms, dormitories, recreation rooms, fitness center, open garden, locker room, kitchen, dining, laundry room, and reception area. Separation of private and public space and simple circulation to suffice the respond time were the key elements of program organization. Living quarters such as dormitories were located away from the Chicago ‘L’ for more quite and private space for fire fighter to enhance their quality of their time. The play of transparency depended on the privacy level of the programs. Also, to minimize the respond time, the apparatus bay, dispatch office, alarm and communication office is located near the living quarters. Other public programs are located near Chicago ‘L’ and provided with great amount of transparency to educate the Chicagoan. In order to promote stainability and openness, the project minimized the buildable area and provide more landscapes to the neighborhood. Building also consists of open garden, light well, natural ventilation, solar panel, horizontal louver system, geothermal systems to efficiently utilize the renewable energy.

I GREEN TRANSPORTATION AND MIXED USE

Architectural Design - Comprehensive Design Studio Instructor: John DeSalvo Illinois Institute of Technology Type: Mixed Use, Commercial

The project is located in the lower west side of Manhattan, New York, United States. Two very interesting facts about this site. One is that this site is in Meat packing district. Meat packing district is well know for residence of famous celebrities and artists. Another interesting fact is that “Highline” passes through the site. The High Line is a 1-mile (1.6 km) New York City linear park built on a 1.45-mile (2.33 km) section of the elevated former New York Central Railroad spur called the West Side Line, which runs along the lower west side of Manhattan; it has been redesigned and planted as an aerial greenway.

Volume in site

Tilting Tilting the proposed towers to allow adjacent building to receive natural light and view. Also, provides easy access from street to parking.

Division Separate the volume to generate view and open space

Simplify Multiple volumes cause complex circulation and limit view toward Hudson river

Extension Mixed-use programs extend from tower to tower to generate variety views from each programs.

Synthesize Similar programs become single form to generate simplified circulation for the users.

A similar project in Paris, the 3-mile (4.8-kilometer) Promenade plantée, completed in 1993, was the inspiration for this project. The High Line currently runs from Gansevoort Street, three blocks below West 14th Street, in the Meatpacking District, to 30th Street, through the neighborhood of Chelsea to the West Side Yard, near the Javits Convention Center. Formerly the viaduct of the High Line went as far south as Spring Street just north of Canal Street, but the lower section was demolished in 1960. The recycling of the railway into an urban park has spurred real estate development in the neighborhoods which lie along the line.

The concept of this project is to create a new symbol for vehicle parking and mixed-use programs that will promote energy conscious structure through materials and optimization of energy consumption. New York is the most populous city in the United States and the center of one of the most populous urban agglomerations in the world. With a census-estimated 2013 population of 8,405,837 distributed over a land area of just 305 square miles (790 km2), New York is the

most densely populated major city in the United States. One of the disadvantage of living in New York City is insufficient amount of parking for residence and visitors. Parking space is very limited and very expensive.

provides parking for cars on multiple levels stacked vertically to maximize the number of parking spaces while minimizing land usage. Plus, this parking structure will accommodate a “Share-Cars” to minimize the number of vehicles on the street.

To address this issue, one proposes to use automated parking system. An automated (car) parking system is a mechanical system designed to minimize the area and/or volume required for parking cars. Like a multi-story parking garage, an automated (car) parking system

Each automated parking structure is design to store 300 vehicles including ‘Car-share’ rental. These three parking structure serve as the primary support/structure for the mixed program that occurs between these structures. JAMES HWANGBO

Mixed programs include: “Car-Share” rental office, auto show room, conference room, fitness center, squash courts, locker rooms, lounge/bar and green ways located above the “Highline” and between the automated parking structure. The Community art center is located underneath the “Highline.” In order to provide sufficient energy for all the programs while minimizing the energy use. One proposes to utilize the height of the parking structure for installing solar panel, natural ventilation, wind turbine, light well and green walls. This project will benefit from the renewable resources and also will promote the use of sustainable systems to the neighbor and to New Yorker.
