DESIGNING FOR THE ELDERLY: Collective Living in Tokiwadaira

Modern Japan is experiencing a shift in their demographics. The aging population is beginning to dominate Japan as the percentage of Japan's elderly population, or the elderly dependency ratio, is set to continue to grow drastically in the coming years. The country's low birth rate leads to the shrinking of the nation's population. This thesis investigates how this surge of aging population will affect the infrastructure, and therefore, the built environment surrounding us.

This thesis focuses on Tokiwadaira, a Tokyo suburb where the landscape is dominated by a huge post-war government apartment complex and the population is dominated by single elderly who live alone. Some of their spouses have passed away and the younger population has moved to the city center. As more people move out of the suburbs, the housing complex continues to deteriorate as it has lost its value, since it has existed for more than 30 years. Through intensive research, study and investigation, this thesis aims to transform the existing government apartment complex, which is already dilapidating to create a model suburb that tests out a new way of collective living.for the elderly.

The high number of the elderly dependency ratio creates the need for an environment where they can take care of themselves, rather than having to depend on the shrinking young Japanese population. Collective living enables lives of the residents to overlap in spaces that they use, and therefore, for communication and interaction to happen.

THE GATEWAY APARTMENTS IN MEXICANTOWN Detroit, MI

Mexicantown is a bordertown, an anchor city along the migrant voyage from Mexico to Canada.

Travellers would either stop to visit family in the North, or rest from their journey before continuing on. The area was established and grew in response to this particular transience, therefore becoming the gateway of welcome in recognition of those journeys.

Echoing the tradition of impermanence, The Gateway Apartments is an anchor within the Mexicantown community. Ultimately flexible at its core, the project is poised as a threshold between Mexicantown and Corktown, and is a gateway to the greater community announcing the passage into an arena of culture and self-identity.

The Gateway rests upon a cohesive foundation unifying three separate buildings into one complex.

A stoop is traditionally the entering staircase leading to an apartment building; a space typically transitioning from public to private areas. Here, it lends itself to residents staying and occupying this interstitial area as an "urban porch", engaging in social interaction in the larger community and welcoming a variety of activity that focuses on social interaction within the neighborhood; from local theatrical productions, art exhibitions to farmers' markets.

The Gateway is comprised of three separate buildings that surround a community courtyard focus on inward activity. Each apartment is divided into a thick zone, which is defined by a solid expression of concrete block walls and a drop ceiling where the kitchen and restroom fixtures are embedded in the walls, and a thin zone, which is defined by a floor to ceiling window wall and movable furniture units on wheels. As all thick zones of the apartments are angled inward as well, noise can be easily buffered from the living thin zones in the units.

The Santiago de Las Vegas Hub enforces the idea that nothing goes to waste. The roof of the building is engineered so that it can tilt to optimize the amount of sun received by the solar panel.

Water from the rain is also used for the animals and powering the generator.

RETHINKING HAVANA:

Planning for A Self-Sustaining City The development of Havana into a city comprised of self sustaining regions that are community-oriented and agriculturally-driven. The project proposes a vision that looks into the year 2090, to the post-oil economy, where the world has evolved to depend on alternative sources of energy.

The government's power has significantly declined, becoming a mere icon, while people turn to their communities for the production of energy and food. Each community is centered around a HUB that serves as a point of sustainance and gathering for the neighborhood.

The infrastructure is deteriorating, imposing the need for the recycle or reuse of certain parts of the city's built environment, while the urban agriculture in the city thrives.

Cuba's isolation from technology also forces people to invent things themselves rather than relying on buying them, creating the DIY culture.

Work produced in collaboration with: Chris Hall Xiaoruo Zhang 21

The Seed-to-Sandwich Food Truck With the city now car-free, old cars can be reused by engineering them to accommodate food production and distribution of cuban sandwiches. It is capable of self-producing bread, pickle and vegetables.

The food truck is located in Plaza Vieja in the old town part of Havana. Havana has transformed into a hyperlocalized city with hubs that serve smaller parts of the city through the production of food water and energy. The Plaza Vieja Hub is an adaptive reuse of an abandoned building, situated in a dense neighborhood of the old town area. It focuses on vertical farming and bioalgae facade. Vertical farming incorporates conveyor belts to allow crops to receive equal amount of sunlight throughout the day. It also allows the workers to easily access the plants for care and harvest. The bioalgae panels on the facade are placed on tracks to allow people to easily move them if more or less sunlight is needed in certain parts of the building, therefore, utilizing them as shading devices.

22

The bioalgae facade allows biomass from the panels to feed into a gasification tank that turns it into heat to power the generator. Hot air is then turned into cool air through a thermal electric generator, and let out into the building. The carbon dioxide leftover is then fed back into the panels.

Tram is the alternative form of transportation since Havana has become car-free in 2090. These trams are fueled by biomass from bioalgae, harvested from the bioalgae facades.

Zooming out further to the city scale of Havana, one can see how there are different Hubs at different locations.

Each hub serves an area surrounding it and this area can big or small, depending on the Hub's ability to produce food. Each location has a main hub, a secondary hub and a movable energy generator that can plug into the big ones if certain parts are malfunctioning.

This movable energy generator follows the DIY culture of the people of Havana, where they invent what they don't have.

It is created by a bicycle, with bioalgae lubricants and tilting solar panels on top. The image on the right side is a reused coco taxi, placing solar panels on top to harvest the solar power.

ASCEND at Stone & 34th Seattle, WA

This project was done in collaboration with other architects, structural engineers, cost estimators, facilitators/ logistics, and sustainability advisors. The office goes along Stoneway Ave N, from 34th to 35th and was designed to replace the Brooks office that currently stands in the location.

The office is created with heavy timber structure. The feature stair wraps around each side of the building, connecting every single floor. It allows visual connection between the people inside the office and the staircase. The stair promotes a healthy lifestyle, where people would choose to walk up the stairs rather than the elevators. It also promotes collaboration and interaction among office employees, especially with the addition of the collaboration space on the 3rd floor and the rooftop. The public and private entrances are separated to allow engagement on both sides and to emphasize the importance of both the community and the office employees.

TYPICAL MULTI-STOREY ORGANIZATION In a typical midrise office, floors operate in isolation. Even when all the occupants work for the same organization, they have minimal interaction.

CONNECTED ORGANIZATION The stairs create a circulation space that links all the floors, promoting collaboration and interaction between different floors.
