SANTA MONICA AIRPORT An Introduction

Santa Monica Municipal Airport (SMO), once the legendary Douglas Aircraft Company and “Clover Field“ after WWI was recently announced to be turned into another airport theme park due to its negative impact on the surrounding neighbors. City of Santa Monica released the visioning re-purposing plan with extreme debates evoked. Without asking fundamental questions we can never properly identify and evaluate the real potential behind this evolution. “What are the large sustainable issues that the city is facing?” ”What the additional park can offer us in terms of social/ environmental resilience?” “If it is possible that the SMO can be transformed into something that deals with social problem with great potential economic return?“ Various issues under large sustainable framework are targeted by studio and based on which the design strategies and possibilities unfold.

History of Santa Monica

Now Quarterly 03 | 2017

Due in part to an agreeable climate, Santa Monica became a famed resort town by the early 20th century. The city has experienced a boom since the late 1980s through the revitalization of its downtown core, significant job growth and increased tourism.

Parks & Open Space

Now Quarterly 03 | 2017

The City has a long-standing commitment to develop and maintain a network of high-quality public parks. Santa Monica’s 30 parks account for 132 acres of public park space, with 97% of this area being permeable. Given limited land resources, the City actively seeks out creative ways to add to the community’s public park inventory.

Public Transportation I Surface

Now Quarterly 03 | 2017

City of Santa Monica encourages people to take public transportation. However, the “first mile, last mile“ issue is still a big challenge for local residents. The increasingly time consumption and frustration in transportation require an integrated design strategy with careful assessment of the accumulative effect on transportation. 82% of the city’s public works vehicles run on alternative fuels. The food supply, water and energy infrastructure are also increasingly under pressure due to the large amount of daily visitors.

Santa Monica Sustainability goals 100% Renewable Energy in 2050

Now Quarterly 03 | 2017

Within the 22.85% of renewable energy, there is only 0.99% of the energy is generated by solar. The city’s goal is to use 50% of renewable energy by the year of 2020 and 100% renewable energy by 2050.

History of Santa Monica Airport

Now Quarterly 03 | 2017

Santa Monica Municipal Airport (SMO), once the legendary Douglas Aircraft Company and “Clover Field“ after WWI. During the WWII, the site served as Army’s 40thw Division Aviation and survived through the war with false “town“ built atop it. Fail to lengthen airport’s runway, Donald Douglas closed the 44,000 - employee plant after WWII and moved airliner production to Long Beach.

Techno - Bloom PAINT THE CITY PINK WITH GREEN

Now Quarterly 03 | 2017

Design: Deborah Liu, Luyan Shen, Yake Wang Instructor: Thom Mayne, Eui-Sung Yi The increasing world population means 50% more food is needed to grow within 50% less arable land area per person due to climate change and urban development. Current distribution problems regarding spoilage and costs continue to worsen as farms are pushed further away from the metropolis. Folding the farm back into the city to alleviate the issue of distribution is proposed through the following 2 strategies: 1) Simplifying the supply chain; 2) Maximizing efficiency. Using advanced farming and delivering technology such as hydroponic systems and drones showcases the future generation of farming and distribution and allows the public to reimagine various environmental scenarios within the farming world. In addition, analyzing, occupying, and redefining a large existing site located in the intersection of the City of Santa Monica and City of Los Angeles form a new way of looking at infrastructure that can be transformed into not only a mothership that feeds its surroundings to strengthen the producer-supplier-and-consumer relationship but also a central hub that brings the world together in one place.

Invisible City

Now Quarterly 03 | 2017

Design: Niloufar Golkarihagh, Ran Israeli, Sarah Jafarpour, Jihun Son Instructor: Thom Mayne, Eui-Sung Yi The Invisible City at the former Santa Monica Airport site is an ecological and urban transformation that would provide high-performance landscaping and increased residential density. The scheme provides for housing while preserving most of the land surface and enhancing the quality of life in Santa Monica with parks and recreational areas. The housing will be established underground - maximizing space and providing a safe environment from natural hazards such as fire, wind, and earthquakes. Implemented with urban resilience in mind, the underground dwelling saves up to 80% of energy, limits noise, reduces pollution, and maintains consistent temperatures. This agenda allows the city to move forward to a new paradigm of urbanism, where built forms and land uses are closely integrated with the prioritization of green spaces and people-oriented travel modes such as walking, cycling, and public transit.

Now Quarterly 03 | 2017

Design: John Paul Salcido, Kevin Sherrod, Baocheng Yang Instructor: Thom Mayne, Eui-Sung Yi It’s already accomplished a certain amount (23%); it can accomplish more via bottom-up strategies; 50% by 2030 but there is a remainder that must be solved via top-down centralized planning. The SMA site can accommodate all of the necessary top-down infrastructure to make Santa Monica reach its sustainability goals. It’s like achieving a desired weight: you have to know your current weight, then accomplish some by diet & exercise (bottom-up), and the rest is nutritional supplements (top-down). SMA site provides the Supplements -- the heavy infrastructure -- to make all of Santa Monica sustainable. The main concept is to go from a decentralized infrastructure to a more powerful, energy producing infrastructure.It would add to an already innovative Santa monica as a leader to a more sustainable, and energy efficient future.The main concept is to go from a decentralized infrastructure to a more powerful, energy producing infrastructure.
