Archipe[LA]go: deviating the strip Instructors_Adam Elstein, Frank Gesualdi, Saul Anton Studio_Degree Project: Magic Date_Spring 2022 Site_Los Angeles, California Partner_Beren Saraquse The strip had repressed certain public and typological requirements of the city. They were flattened by the demands of LA’s version of 20th Century retail urbanism and city life. Our project reimagines the shopping strip typology, a linear commercialized main artery of the city. The shopping strip is one dimensional, static, and a commercially-curated consumer experience, one that prioritizes capital flow over all. It offers an alternative that distorts and reshuffles its fundamental armature, the avenue, in order to create an archipelago of urban conditions that transforms the commercial strip into a plurality of public spaces.

ARMATURE TO ENCLAVE

Our project delaminates the current strip armature and uses game-like methodology to transform the previously privatized retail into public spaces for the community. ARMATURE TO ENCLAVE

ARMATURE TO ENCLAVE

The game of ‘emergent islands’ is to redefine the path of the car into typologies and reshuffle them into an armature that serves the enclaves it forms around, in other words understanding the limitations of the strip to misuse and defamiliarize it. The new armature which curves, turns, and splits, slows the speed of the avenue.

Figure 3: The Game Physical Model

Through understanding its block shape and edge consequences, a network of path and program was implemented, which would serve as an interchange between the pedestrian and the urban landscape. S.LILLES

As the future of shopping moves digital, what becomes of the newly configured armature and these mini environments that emerge? The urban archipelagos counter the previous strip typology that served as a desire machine to visitors and tourists and the familiar pieces of the past shopping strip are repurposed to serve the new islands of urbanity. Through open grounds and landscape the islands build flexible relationships between the locals and the newly porous grounds. The concept of a 15 minute walking radius provided us with constraints in how these programs were adapting to each of the islands. Mundane everyday necessities are dispersed throughout the islands to bring the necessities to the locals.

The strip experience is no longer walking one direction and u-turning back to the car. The pedestrian experience allows for the parking to serve as the civic gateway to the endless activities the archipelago has to offer. The interchange between pedestrians and the urban landscape now merge as one. We have used this as an opportunity to question what exists now and how it has or has not changed with the times. There was Banham’s LA, there was Suisman’s LA, and this is our Los Angeles.

airport of 2040 Instructor_Jason Lee Studio_Dirty Realism, Green New Civic Date_Fall 2020 Site_Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Manila, Philippines

This project investigates how the intersection of routines may create the opportunity for civic experiences in spaces of dirty realism: the idle airport reality. The future airport is the epitome of efficiency by technology. While the technology has advanced, the airport still remains as important to everyday life as the present. All types of people: passengers, airline crew, aviation staff etc, still interact with the airport on a daily basis. This project takes advantage of the individual routines of a person in an airport in order to interfere with and intersect different routines. It subverts the highly choreographed airport by blending flow and stagnation within programmed places and circulation spaces. Here, an individual with “waiting” as part of their routine may spend their time with others in similar situations rather than idly killing time within their designated place. This is an antithesis to the technology-driven future of the airport that equalizes occupants and creates opportunities of physical chance encounters and civic engagement.

This project exists as a reimagination of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in the Philippines. NAIA accommodates 6 million passengers a year and has been consistently ranked the top 10 worst airports in Asia. Like many airports, NAIA is a vital part in the Filipino’s daily life. The Philippines has 2.2 million Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), who are people with Filipino citizenship who reside in another country for a limited period of employment. Besides exporting service, the country also heavily relies on the tourism that comes in to contribute to the Philippine economy.

“Super Maxi” derived from the menstrual hygiene product: the maxi pad. Through SUPER-MAXI, we want to raise awareness on why and how plastic is used in menstrual hygiene products. All feminine hygiene products are necessary for daily life. We recognize that plastic is a valuable material because it is efficient and sanitary. But we want to start a dialogue on the long-term implications of single-use plastic.

ZIPPER CONNECTION FOR AIR

WELDED SEAMS

SEWN SEAMS

10.

VELCRO CONNECTION FOR STRUCTURE

The idea behind the aggregation is to create a PILE. The pile represents an aggregation of menstrual products that accumulate in one’s trash. Metaphorically, we tied in each of the modules to connect with each other and create a mound. The nature of the PILE is such that it allows for interaction and movement. The spaces it creates are “cramped” and allows for a free-flow of movement.

The aggregation is made in such a way that each module supports the others so that the module on the top does not fall. That there are 2 sources of air from 2 extreme sides in order to have a constant flow of air in the model so that it remains inflated. The air sources in addition to providing air also acted as anchors to keep the model on the ground.

perfect house in the hills Instructor_Sebastian Misiurek Class_Immersive Architecture Date_Spring 2021

This class aimed to create realistic image and video renderings through Enscape and Twinmotion. The subject was a built house of our choosing. This house is the Moore House By Woods + Dangaran in Los Angeles. The house was originally by Craig Ellwood and captures the elegant life living in the hills. My renderings aimed to reflect this perfection and beauty. The animation video however, subverts this idea, suggesting that the house is actually not what it seems: The house in the hills is your dream home. It’s picture perfect. But, as time goes on there are hints that things may not be so perfect after all. As day shifts into night, the strangeness of the house takes over, revealing its reality. The audience is led to believe that the more [pseudo-]perfect the house is, the more it is trying to hide.

home of the creative collective Instructor_Salvatore Tranchina Studio_Work-Live Housing Date_Fall 2019 Site_Kent Ave, Brooklyn, NY Partner_Beren Saraquse The Home of the Creative Collective is a mixed-use housing complex where occupants live to create. The occupants are young artists, filmmakers, and freelance creatives who have the freedom to work in different scales, within their own unit and throughout the building. Diversity is influential at multiple scales, and the project aims to satisfy the needs and encourage the achievements of those living in the neighborhood. The units are designed with the idea that the occupants can expose their work. Individual customizable units allow them ‘to see or be seen’ creating. Within the building, the occupants’ work environments are vastly different. Each one of the fourteen workrooms within the building is able to provide for specific needs, which allows the occupants to produce their best work. The neighborhood is introduced to the creative experience by having a separate access zone throughout the building. These zones speak to the different scales that help achieve multiple cultural perspectives. This project challenges social exclusion through art and creativity. This allows for equiability within occupants, the neighborhood and even Brooklyn. A person who lives to work demands the home of the Creative Collective.

open factory Instructor_Sophia Gruzdys Studio_Civic Vortex: Rome Date_Spring 2021 Site_Piazza d’Aracoeli Rome, Italy The Open Factory is a collaborative social and economic engine between temporary and permanent occupants. The marketplace aims to integrate asylum seekers into local life. Locals and asylum seekers come together to exchange different ways of making, crafting, creating. Through a collaborative production zone, asylum seekers have the support from locals to grow their lives in Rome. The creation and exchange of goods and knowledge becomes: a neighborhood activator; a connector between locals, tourists, pilgrims, and asylum seeker; a new daily life, in the setting of a piazza. The layered configuration of the factory (learn, make, exchange) is connected to the surrounding fabric through a main promenade. The promenade allows a passerby to turn into a participant of the factory.

the continuous walk Instructor_Leonard Leung Studio_Sports Community Center and Emergency Shelter Date_Spring 2020 Site_Far Rockaway, Queens, NY Partner_Chloe Ni Located in the Rockaway Peninsula, a site prone to natural disaster, this sports community center activates the neighborhood by providing a focal gathering point, while also transforming into an emergency shelter. The building understands the stakes of the flood line and is designed to be flexible, adapting to the needs of the community. It features a gym, bowling alley, skate park, and rock climbing wall. The shelter components are folded into the architecture of the building, so in the event of an emergency, occupants have easy access to retrieve and assemble the temporary living spaces.

the carved gallery Instructor_Abigail Coover Hume Studio_Museum Extension Date_Fall 2018 Site_The Met Cloisters, NY This project is designed around the idea of experience driven by destination, done by exploring carved solid planes and using the cut, doubly-curved thickness to assign heirarchy and reinforce the different spaces. These thicknesses are highlighted with the marble material found at the Met Cloisters. The middle courtyard, being one of the most important spaces is made up of these cuts. With an exhibition space, auditorium, lobby, offices, and lavatories, the extension design relates back to the original design of the Met Cloisters in terms of enfiladed spaces, curved thresholds, one path circulation, and a courtyard as the destination.

farsighted Instructor_Eric Wong Studio_Cinematheque Date_Spring 2018 Site_E Houston and Lafayette, Manhattan, NY This cinematheque tower connects the cinema volumes with passageways and thresholds that embody the same effects as the cinematic techniques that director Edgar Wright uses in many of his movies. Wright uses methods that alters the speed of a scene ultimately creating different scales of zooming and focusing as both a visual and physical experience. The passageways and stairs in this building compress, expand, divide, and turn in a way that makes the occupant start to focus and zoom in on where they are walking. The building has a large diagonal cut through the middle that divides program and brings light into the main lobby. This cut appears again below the lobby so that pedestrians can walk through the building at ground level, experiencing this floating glass volume above.

lor calma + partners Internship, Manila, Philippines Director_Eduardo Calma Date_Summer 2018 Project_UNIVERS Store at Solaire Casino, Manila, Philippines This is the design for a luxury streer wear brand retail store UNIVERS in Manila, Philippines. The design was conceptualized around the idea of hanging line geometry from the ceiling (brass stick forms) meeting volumes from the floor (marble) to create various displays. The displays focused on modular and adjustable pieces. The hanging displays would have panels to place posters or brand names as well as hanging space for the items of the corresponding brands.

The Hawakan Exhibition and Virtual Auction took place in Manila, Philippines, in the Summer of 2020, a few months into the surge of the Covid-19 pandemic. The exhibition was a way for young Filipino artists to achieve tangible change within underserved communities during a time of uncertainty. Through the auction and sale of prints, Hawakan raised 650,000 PHP for Partner Foundations including ABS-CBN Pantawid Ng Pag-Ibig.

02_in the name of love: black lives matter This project was a fundraiser through the online sale of a scale figure set, geared towards designers to use in their drawings. The fundraiser was a response to the increase of police violence towards the Black community in May of 2020. All proceeds went to organizations aimed to support and protect the Black community.

03_staying home in color I put together this free, downloadable coloring book released in August of 2020 featuring illustrations from my friends. This was a way to promote staying home and safe while still having fun and being creative in the time of a pandemic.
