“BIGGER DIPPER” SCI-ARC 5B STUDIO ERIC OWEN MOSS VERTICAL IN COLLABORATION WITH NICHOLAS Y. WU

In support of this discourse on Appropriation and Representation the studio is working with drawing and imaging apparatus that involves both digital and analog processes. Defamiliarizing the ways in which images and objects are constructed and perceived, this visual regime has the potential for a new architectural syntax.

For the past few years in architectural discourse we find ourselves among many revivals - historicism and post-modernism, digital and systems design, the re-emergence of emergence and various materialisms. In a time of unprecedented reduplications, to make the next move will require the construction of an apparatus of fiction - a new ontology of representation and redefinition of the concept of authorship.

SUPER-CONTEXTURAL SCI-ARC 3B STUDIO RUSSELL THOMSEN STUDIO

The 3B Studio introduces students to the comprehensive design and development of a large scale, building on an urban site. Advancing on the pedagogy established in previous studios, this studio focuses on the design, development, and tectonic logic of the building envelope and its ability to articulate contemporary formal organizations. Assemblage versus monolithic form, surface versus mass, iconicity and image, the intentional obscuring of hierarchical mass, layered, and graphic assemblies, tectonics and materiality, constitute a range of concerns in the design work.

- 13 The surrounding building facades were analyzed to create a formal abstraction for our massing strategy. The abstracted figures maintain the uncontentious void spaces found in Mexico City. These void spaces were then utilized for other purposes like public gather spaces, although they were unintentional. The void space has a subtle presence of its original form with referential shapes suggesting its contextual identity to the surrounding buildings. Similarly the relationship of spacing and building height was maintained in order to create a scale which is driven by its surrounding environment.

SOFT TOWER SCI-ARC 3A STUDIO EALEXIS ROCHAS STUDIO

The uses of precedent and antecedent are being considered in 3A studio design, while the main investigation examines the particular impact of the building envelope and its material and geometrical determinations on site. The design work focuses on a tall building form and the capacity to use transformation as a methodological tool to guide a rigorous approach to decision making. By studying the specificities of the tall building envelope, we are exposed to the tight dependency existing between serial determinations of: the geometric and material order of the outermost surface and the spaces it encloses, including the building’s core and structure; construction technologies and its tectonic and environmental implications; and its iconographic performance in today’s metropolis.

The axon view of our facade chunk study further illustrates our interest on the multiscaler shading of gradient, depth and softness that the overlay of rendering against the physical shadowing produces. Though having hard edges with as a physical form, the soft rendering blurs the physical edges of the surfaces creating a soft tissue form, allowing the misreading of the surfaces.

MASSING AND STRUCTURAL SYSTEM DIAGRAM

Early study of the facade model reveals our interest in the multiscaler shading, created by the different scale of the tessellated panels and the angles of the facing panels in relation to each other. The issue of the multiscaler shading is futher developed by overlaying a soft shadow rendering onto the surfaces, further blending the shadings, allowing for misreading of the surfaces.

Creases are being introduced into the facade system as an oppotunities to break up the mass, turning the mass into surface while surface is being able to imply volume.

Formally, the column and truss are rotated copies of one another; connecting through a single spine and providing the illusion of a single sheet metal bending and folding onto itself to create an almost impossible structure. The trims and frames of this detail appears to accentuate the edges as mere decorations; however, they serve as the main structural reinforcement against the weight of the entire detail.

Modelo is a new community for Commerce, California. The 17-acre development is located at the confluence of the I-5 freeway and the Rio Hondo Channel, where the borders of Cities of Commerce, Bell Gardens, Downey, Pico Riveria and Montebello converge. Located in 12 miles southeast of DTLA, the site, once a landfill, will be remediated and the existing city-owned park and playing fields will be integrated into the new community. The project will include 850 residential units of both market rate and affordable housing. A retail - entertainment venue will be visible from the freeway consisting of 165,000 sq ft. The 4.75 acres of sports fields will comprise of playing fields, playgrounds and a Veterans Memorial Park. A 70,000 sq ft community center includes a library, a day-care center, a senior center, a performance venue, function rooms, gymnasium and a Latino Museum. Modelo will possess its own identity, recognizable from afar, the commercial aspects will attract people from all over the greater Los Angeles area. The individual buildings will also have their own defining characteristics creating memorable experiences for the residents.

Entertainment - Retail Modelo includes approximately 165,000 square feet of entertainment and retail uses that will consist of a multiscreen cineplex, a gaming/bowling/family friendly venue, adult- and family-oriented restaurants, a grocery store or market, a pharmacy, a fitness center or workout studio, and general retail. Its plaza and fountains spilling into the grass amphitheater, the entertainment area of Modelo will have a vibrant, rhythmic life that offers members of the community and residents a place to eat, play and dream, but also provides the greater Southeast LA Region an entertainment destination. The entertainment retail component of the Project would consist of two structures located along the north and east edges of the site. In addition to the above-mentioned uses, the proposed commercial building would include an approximately 18-story high tower that will serve as the Modelo Project’s anchoring feature on the northeastern corner of the site. The proposed tower would be 220 feet high to the top floor and 250 feet high at its highest point, including the architectural screen and would provide an additional 65,000 square feet of residential uses.

The Project involves reconstruction of Veterans Memorial Park and an adjacent vacant parcel into a mixed-use development. Additionally, due to the previous use of the Modelo Project site as a landfill, Modelo involves remediation to allow for safe implementation of the project.

With a variety of amenities and uses, Modelo will be a heart and center for entertainment, public, sports and community events and gatherings throughout the day and evening. The plan for the site is to provide connections to the Rio Hondo trail and river as well as the surrounding neighborhood. With this in mind, Modelo will create a progressively unique destination for Southeast Los Angeles and the Greater Los Angeles area.

The goal is to create open and green public spaces that will integrate the community space with the mixed-use entertainment, retail and residential structures, as well as to enhance transit connections. The landscape and architectural design will create a progressive, forwardlooking and vibrant community that is a desirable place where people will want to live, work and play, all while offering robust community services for all.

Veterans Memorial Park & Community Space Modelo will revitalize Veterans Memorial Park with a completely new community center, an all-inclusive playground, a contemporary soccer and baseball youth sports complex, a library, and ample outdoor green space to maximize opportunity for community events and services.

The community center will include indoor sports facilities and offices, a library, and a ballroom/event space as well as supporting amenities such as offices, restrooms, and lobbies. The community center would be approximately 120 feet in height and located on the southeastern portion of the Project site along the I-5 freeway. A Sports Complex comprising youth-sized soccer and baseball fields (to accommodate local and regional league and tournament matches), a playground, and public open space would be located immediately adjacent to the community center.

The greenspace would lead towards the grass-stepped amphitheater, which includes concrete bench steps and would essentially separate the residential development on the west of the Modelo Project site and commercial development to the east. The Modelo Project proposes a public art component, potentially comprised of museum/ gallery space and murals.

Founded in 1954 as “The Model City,” the City of Commerce will be home to a robust new mixed-use Public-Private Park, Community Center, Residential and Entertainment Retail Project, simply called Modelo. The vision for Modelo is to create a welcoming and open urban village that will complement and enhance the local City of Commerce and Southeast Los Angeles community. Modelo will provide an attractive lifestyle for residents, as well as draw visitors to the public space, youth sports complex, allinclusive playground and entertainment options from all over Southern California.

Residential On the western portion of the site, 850 new residential units will be provided, with a mixture of for-sale and for-rent units and units spread over a number of distinct structures with varying levels of amenities, features and personality, to imbue a “village” feel versus a sanitized “master development” feel. The residential apartment units would be split into several Type 5a, 5b and 3a construction structures of varying heights. Townhomes would be constructed on the far western area of the site, as Type 5a or 5b and would be four stories in height, with a maximum height of 60 feet to the roof parapet. A private pool for townhome residents would be located in close proximity to the proposed townhomes. Parking is proposed as subterranean parking accessible from the structure beneath the apartment units. The residential buildings vary from 50 feet to 85 feet (3 to 7 stories) in height, with a maximum height of 85 feet including roof pitches and architectural elements. Private access pools would be allocated to every two residential structures.

Each structure would include its own event spaces, amenity rooms, package rooms, and bicycle storage areas. Direct, private access from subterranean parking to each residential building would be provided.

The office has a strong connection to the community. The space and activity contained within is visible from the courtyard and from the street. An oversized rotating media wall is central to the open floor plan of the ground floor and can be configured in any number of ways to offer multiple configurations for display and meeting opportunities. A series of “living room” spaces can be utilized or the space can be opened up to accommodate larger events to include lectures, meetings, etc. for up to 200 people.

- 34 An architectural staircase is a bold design feature that unites the two levels of the office environment. The organic form of the sinuous stair of white is central to all activity. The stair is finished in a smooth steel troweled plaster and detailed with continuous accent lighting. A glass volume is central to the office and serves as the main conference area. Sheets of glass retract into the thickened walls that define the room. The space can be reconfigured as part of the greater whole. The office space is a classic, timeless architectural interior where attention to detail and a commitment to sustainability play a prominent role in the design of the 21st century office environment.

The project is conceived as a journey of awareness, the spaces are configured within the desert earthwork. A variety of galleries (spaces for curated experiences that use art and programming to further explore and uplift the human spirit.) offer optimal flexibility. A series of thoroughfares connect the galleries and provide a myriad of experiences to the visitor.

Ultimately the experience culminates with the arrival at the grand hall “temple”. A place for secular worship, stillness, and contemplation. The 10,000 square foot space serves as the hub of the facility and is encompassed by a large sunken desert garden. This exterior space is carved out of the landscape, the bowl embraces and protects the programmed spaces. The Center aims to engage the human spirit and create a journey that provides a backdrop for the visitor to experience stillness, harmony and the expansion of one’s consciousness.
