Wood+Ground is architecture project sited at the 5700-5735 S Lafayette Ave Chicago IL designed to benefit Sweet Water Foundation. Sweet Water Foundation was established to practice Regenerative Neighborhood Development, a creative and regenerative social justice method, that creates safe and inspiring spaces and communities.
Foundation to combine communities together. Wood+Ground holds value over transforming neighborhood through providing architectural foreground that utilizes agriculture and education as part of the design. The design would become a foundation for Sweet Water Foundation to produce engaged youths and skilled workers.
Deeply intrigued to the organization’s practices such as woodshop apprenticeship and education for kids, Wood+Ground provides permanent and motivational spaces for the Sweet Water 04
SITE ORGANIZATION Englewood/Washington Park 5700-5735 S Lafayette Ave Chicago, IL The site was carefully chosen from the research on Zoning, Ownership, Occupancy and Building Age including two existing structures of the neighborhood. 60% of the buildings from the neighborhood were built during 1800s, 40% properties are publicly owned and over 30 properties were shown as vacant. More importantly, from comparatively small size of the neighborhood the zoning showed different categories of Business, Manufacture, Residential and Commercial. The two buildings that were chosen from the research were a Single-Family Housing and a Factory placed at S Perry Ave. Two existing buildings showed distinctive qualities in terms of their Scale, Formal Structure and Materiality. Based on collective data, the site was chosen based on its accessibility from major residential area, Washington Park, Ryan Expressway and Redline. Moreover, by connecting Sweet Water Foundation, Perry Ave Farm and S State St, the site could be used to benefit in terms of their connection to public transportation. Massing

The furniture designed by carpenters reuses wood from demolished properties of the neighborhood and creates solid form of structure. The furniture has stereotomic quality that were chamfered from the edge and voided based on its usage. The Wood+Ground follows similar formal design method which benefits the program. For better accessibility the structure is placed vertically along W 57th St. Programs (Woodshop and Playground) are distinguished into two separate parts through center penetration. Chamfered edge on the East and West part of the structure gives open faรงade. Terrace space is provided on the East based on its program and atrium allows sunlight to interior spaces. Wooden Panels throughout the windows and atrium gives protection from direct sunlight giving stereotomic feature to the structure. Site is designed to connect surroundings into the site, emphasizing vertical accesses. Structural form and materials that forms hardscape and softscape design follows characteristics of the neighborhood.

Sweet Water Foundation utilizes a blend of urban agriculture, art, and education to transform vacant spaces and abandoned buildings into economically and ecologically productive and sustainable community assets that produce engaged youth, skilled workers, art, locally-grown food, and affordable housing.
Woodshop includes major working spaces and staff lounge for carpenters and apprentices on 1st floor. Motor entrance wraps around the workshop though loading dock placed North connected to storage space. 2nd floor embraces area for conferences and meetings, open to the 1st floor. Mutual space located center of the structure works as a passage which connects woodshop and daycare center. Being protected through of wooden panels, the space could also be used as popup store or temporary event space. Daycare center from the east provides playground for kid from both interior and exterior. Offices for staff members are located adjacent to playgrounds. 2nd floor is provided for more communal use where parents could watch their kids. starting from 2nd floor, terrace space leads to roof-top garden that covers all the way through woodshop space.

Hydrologic Ecosystem of Urban Environment Water Reuse Program
17
Water has become a resource that can not be taken for granted. World faces water crisis however, the demand of water rises every year. In addition, urbanization has caused disruption within hydrologic cycle due to the development of impervious surfaces and artificial drainage system.
By visualizing water cycle and its reuse through assorted programs within the architecture, Visible Water would work as a public platform which optimizes peoples’ notion over water abusage and following environmental matters.
Visible Water sited 12 E Cermak Rd (Cermak McCormick Pl Green Line Station), is a wellness center which embodies hydrologic ecosystem in human scale. It can be characterized as an architecture that offers answer for environmental issues over water which also embodies spaces with flexible frame for everyday cultural experiences. 18

SITE ORGANIZATION Cermak McCormick Pl Green Line Station 12 E Cermak Rd Chicago, IL Chicago Water Regulation Water Abusage Yu Tak Cha & Jun Hee Park From the research before the design process, it was necessary to fully understand issues surrounding water within urban environment. Moreover, in order to understand the hydrologic ecosystem of the site, the research had to be done within city scale. First of all, due to the global climate change the abuse of the water became major issue. Moreover, impervious surfaces and artificial drainage system from urbanized environment provokes disruption to the hydrologic cycle, overflow, high rate of discharges displacement of pollution and contamination of water supplies. Despite Chicago’s well-developed water treatment system, the city clearly showed issues over wasted water treatment and its cycle. Although, Chicago utilizes river as the most important part of regulating water flow, Cermak McCormick Pl Green Line Station sets itself segregated from the river. In addition, the spaces beside the site has been left unused, having only means of transportation. As a result, in order to make people aware of issues over water abusage, Cermak McCormick Pl was chosen to provide visible image of hydrologic ecosystem, by utilizing water as main elements for its programs and setting itself as a reservoir for water cycle. Moreover, taking advantage of the existing transportation system would benefit the site being the major public spaces for the community.

The design principles of Visible Water clearly take these conditions into consideration. In order to avoid interruption with existing platform of the site, the Visible Water also sets itself parallel, connected to the train station. For better accessibility, each end of the structure extends and bends in a circulatory form, touching every corners of the site. Moreover, to give vertical circulation to the design, the level of the structural form gradually lowers from North to South, relevant to the height of train station. These design approaches clearly enhance accessibility and circulation throughout the site by blending in to an existing platform.

PROGRAMS Water Management Hydro Therapy Experiences with water in the city, operates between cold and warm, gas and solid, intimate and public, artificial and natural. The ambition of the design proposal is to portray how the center of the water relates to theses contrasts and how it supports new types of water experiences in urban environments. Through new programs and activities, Visible Water clearly shows heterogeneous mix of functions and activities related to water, taking full advantage of connection with the site. Programs that forms Visible Water can be categorized into three parts; Hydro Therapy, Water Management and CTA. Water is collected through various part of the building. Green spaces on the site, rooftop garden, atrium spaces and bioswales are major reservoirs for water. Collected water gets saved into the water tank placed on East part of the site. Saved water goes through process of pretreatment and mineralization from Water Management, fully visible to the public. Processed water from the architecture is used for wellness purposes through therapeutic programs. Programs include swimming pool, spa and sauna, located close to main access of the train station. Through making hydrologic ecosystem visible to the people and providing visitors with water related activities, people can be aware of hydrologic cycle of nature from their own experience. Moreover, by visualizing the relationship between sustainability and hydrologic cycle through the architecture, it would give motivation for people to seek out solutions for environmental issues over water.

One of the most notable characteristics of Chicago is the river. River runs throughout the city occasionally, creating division between neighborhoods. From this unique regional setting, Sports Factory acts as a threshold for connecting two different communities that are Pilsen and Chinatown.
provides public leisure spaces with indoor and outdoor activities which includes rock climbing, weightlifting, and kayaking. Programs within the architecture was carefully chosen to encourage social interaction between two neighborhoods by taking advantage from its contextual characteristics.
Sport is a platform for cultural enrichment and exchange. Like food and music, sport poses a potential for interculturalism, because it contributes to the dialogue between different cultures and communities. Sports Factory sited 1831-1701 S Lumber St, adjacent to the river, 32

The location of the site shows unique characteristics in terms of its physical context. It is located in between Pilsen and Chinatown while Chicago River runs adjacent to the site. The site is enclosed by business complex building (329 W18th St) and train track (Pennsylvania Railroad Bridge) that are residue from 20th century. The form of the site expands from the narrow end toward the Chicago river. In order to accommodate these settings to the architecture design, site research focuses on Chicago River, circulation between two neighborhoods and context of the surrounding. Firstly, there are a lot of activities that involves Chicago River (Boat Tour, Water Taxi and Kayak) and it is easy to come across these activities throughout the Riverwalk. However, as it gets further from main parts of the city, amount of activities from Chicago River diminishes. Relative to its location, other than terminal of Water Taxi, it is hard to see public activities from Chicago River near the designated site. Also, according to the zoning map provided by the city, the site is categorized as Planned Manufacturing District. Relevant to its zoning law, surrounding architectures are residue of industrial factories from early 20th century that are merely renovated for its use. Major commuting routes between Pilsen and Chinatown are 18th St and Canal St. However, due to its topographic condition, the site sits under 18th St which makes Canal St only access to the site (Lumber St). Such conditions certainly, discourage circulation between two neighborhoods.

Indoor/Outdoor Sports Chicago River Leisure Activity Programs within Sports Factory are provided relevant to its environmental characteristic and volume of each modules. Moreover, due to neighborhood’s deficiencies of public spaces, Sports Factory takes sports as the main theme in order to encourage public leisure activities. Rock climbing, fitness center and kayak are major programs within the structure. The height of the structure gradually lowers as a continuing form from existing business complex building (329 W18th St). First module (starting from East) consists indoor and outdoor rockclimbing spaces. Relevant to its height, climbing wall is mounted on one side of the structure.

Fitness center sits in the middle of the site. The program fully utilizes immensity of the structure through different workouts that are placed on 3 divided areas (cardio, weightlifting and callisthenic). Workout spaces are distinguished through different textures of surfaces within the structure.
2
Kayak program is placed in the structure adjacent to the bridge. Relative to its program, surface pushes in toward the structure, bringing river as part of the design. This form operates as a station for kayak activity. 2 smaller modules work as entrance and pathway to Sports Factory which also leads to the riverwalk. Windows sit behind the shell of the structure providing exterior spaces that are protected from the sunlight during the daytime. Overhanging roof gives sheltered spaces along the riverwalk. Clearly, flexible social interaction can be established by bringing people from Pilsen and Chinatown through public leisure activities provided from Sports Factory.

Chicago is well known for its downtown skyscrapers, but smaller residential and commercial buildings throughout the city are what really gives Chicago its unique architectural identity. Clearly, majorities of suburban residential housings in Chicago show unique characteristics that are developed compact to one another from rectilinear base.
design fully captures two distinctive programs within the structure. Arrangement of the spaces correspond to one another creating continuous connection, maximizing its circulation.
Book+Motion sited at 2626 W Division St, provides combination of dormitory and library spaces for students. The design Book+Motion challenges spatial restriction provided by densely aligned architectures of Chicago. Despite the condition of the site, through distinguishing spaces based on the level of privacy, the 46
DESIGN PRINCIPLES Setback Recession Single Lot Development Clearly, the context of the site shows limited possibilities over design process. Restraining elements discovered from the site are; rectilinear base, limited accessibility and intervention from neighboring buildings. The design principle of Book+Motion challenges its confining conditions and optimizes its possible circulation through the design. The design of Book+Motion starts from a typical lot size of Chicago. In order to provide sufficient spaces for its circulation, the volume of the structure is set to height of 45ft. 30ft setback is made at ground level for consistent accessibility from the main street. Also, by creating setback, it allowed public utilities to access the structure creating entrance space which holds mutual quality. By creating void to the structure, admission of natural light reaches to the ground level through atrium despite the condition of the site where it is intervened by two neighboring buildings. Terrace space takes half of rooftop area toward the main street for an open view. Collection of wooden slabs sits in front of the structure creating the faรงade. Slabs changes its direction based on the level of privacy in order to avoid direct view from the main street. Spaces within the structure are distinguished based on its level of privacy. Public and private spaces push and pull within the structure for an adequate distribution of programs. Moreover, each space from different levels correspond to one another, maximizing its circulation throughout the structure.

PROGRAMS Indoor/Outdoor Sports Chicago River Leisure Activity Main programs taken from the design Book+Motion are dormitory and library. These programs clearly show distinctive qualities in terms of their privacy level. Rather than assigning two programs separately, dormitory and library shares spaces side by side connected to one another. Starting from 2nd floor, dormitory consists of 7 units of residential spaces. Each unit possesses capacity available for 1-2 people. Units are designed into duplex type connected to upper level. Moreover, through two entrances of each room, residential spaces directly open to library spaces. Library spaces runs throughout the structure providing mutual spaces which also works as hallway. Bookshelves are continuously placed along hallways. Library spaces are connected through multiple staircases of mezzanine structure. Through elements such as multiple staircases, doorways and arrangement of spaces, circulation within the structure is optimized despite the restraining conditions of the site. Moreover, the design fully utilizes spaces by adding mutual qualities to the program.
