PROJECT OVERVIEW

Growing out of a need from the closing of Marshall High School in 2011, various cultural groups in East Portland sought out a place to call their own. A space for multi-cultural, multi-generational interaction, a place that would offer all of the desired services and become an asset to the East Portland communities.

Working closely with community-based organizations, programmatic needs and desired sites were researched and analyzed to what would offer the best solution. The goal, to build a comprehensive design for a multicultural center that would exceed the East Portland community groups needs, providing a starting point for this center to become a true possibility.

MULTI-CULTURAL CENTER

THE MULTI-CULTURAL CENTER AS A PHNOMENON

What is critical in a space that engages multiple cultures?

Through intensive design and research, we can create a space that enables communities to bind together by participating in connective activities.

The multi-cultural center exists as a phenomenon, mainly because the programmatic challenges of binding cross-cultural relationships is truly difficult. Cultural centers exist in abundance, but an architecture that can bind, foster and enhance the diversity of the communities in which they exist, is truly a phenomenon. Culturally significant and integrative architecture can enhance our awareness of our place in the world. It can educate us on the practices and values of the people in everyday life.

CENTRO CULTURAL EL MUSICAL Eduardo de Miguel Arbones Valencia, Spain

The cultural aspects of Centro Cultural el Musical mainly focuses around the re-purposing of the old Ateneu Musical del Porto. The Ateneu Musical Society of Peurto is a symphonic band dating back to 1884. Eduardo de Migquel Arbones created a new architecture that became tectonically emblematic with its exposed concrete walls and light filtered public spaces, retaining only an entrance that followed the classical context of the Cabanyal district of Valencia.

Response to Culture

Slatted roof allowing light penetration into atrium spaces

El Musical is derived around the central auditorium space, however primary importance has been placed on circulation and central public spaces. The set of administrative and service offices tuck themselves into the structure, only being highlighted by the stark contrast of wood to the cast concrete. The connectivity to the exterior is blocked off by surrounding party walls, which focus patrons on the building itself rather than context.

Ordering Systems

Designed around a central auditorium

Programming

Three main programs with perimeter circulation

On the site of the old Ateneu Musical del Puerto, Musical Society Valencia, the building comprises a civic center, multipurpose hall for music, theater and public engagement spaces. The perimeter of the structure is a set of party walls, making a direct connection with the exterior very difficult. A double wall on the perimeter circulates patrons into the large central atrium in which light is filtered by a wooden slat roof. The music hall / theater are the are the central and largest programmatic elements, with much of the design being built around the needs of acoustics.

SANDVIKA (BAERUM) CULTURE CENTER Snohetta Sandvika, Norway Running through the central cultural axis of Sandvika, outside of Oslo, the Sandvika/ Boerum Cultural Center houses a 600 seat theater hall. The central theater hall is fronted by a rehearsal/exhibit space cantilevering out over the Arnold Haukelands plaza. The central entry and lobby wrapped in a glass curtain wall are located directly underneath.

Programming

Sandvika Cultural Centers’ program drives much of its design. With the central 600 seat auditorium and its raked seating, the slim 2 story building follows this shape throughout the overall structure. The cantilever, which highlights exhibition space over the plaza below, creates a secondary programmatic element that does not loose any importance due to it being displayed as a window gallery to the outside.

Ordering Systems

The central cultural pull of Sandvika comes not so much as a representation of prior history or anthropology, but as a new center for cultural development. The focus of dance and local art will be the mainstays of display and exhibition, allowing the local culture to thrive and become better represented. Tectonically the center has a dynamic display that penetrates both exterior and interior surfaces called Chromatofora. Chromatofora transforms the walls as a pulsating display of information based on what is being show at the center.

Response to Culture

Two main programs of auditorium and gallery

Designed to engage the adjacent plaza

YURIHONJO CITY CULTURAL CENTER Programming

Yurihonjo Cultural Center, a large complex, contains numerous community gathering elements. Consisting of a large theater, a library, planetarium, research rooms, restaurants, tourist information center, shops and local engagement spaces, Yurihonjo becomes the central community space for the town. The cultural center also features backstage galleries in the ‘Super Box’ which fluctuates in size to accommodate varying scales of exhibitions.

Chiaki Arai Urban and Architecture Design Yurihonjo, Japan

Equal importance programs with expansive options

Ordering Systems

Multiple large programmatic elements, such as the large theater, library or planetarium remove a distinct primary, secondary and tertiary set of systems. However these large programmatic elements, existing as individual programs group together to become one primary ordering system and small social engagement spaces, circulation paths and pocket parks become the secondary set of systems.

Structures are primary with circulation secondary

Circulation creates meeting points

Response to Culture

Yurihonjo is also referred to as Kadare. Kadare meaning to ‘join’ and to ‘talk’, uses its various programs as a means to foster discussion and interaction. Gallery spaces display local and international exhibits as well as the theater hosting musical events and plays. The library boasts 220,000 books which is capped by the planetarium. These programs all embrace and display local culture, but it is within the circulation and public merging spaces that cultural identity is most present. Creating a convergence of patrons from various programs fosters discussions and engagement as people move throughout the building.

WIN HOUSE OF CULTURE MVRDV & ADEPT Frederiksberg, Denmark Programming

Located in Frederiksberg, outside of Copenhagen, MVRDV proposes a new urban typology. The Win House of Culture engages people into a healthy and active lifestyle with its set of stack program spaces. A theater, health zone, food zone, Zen area, study center along with exhibition hall and activity center stack upon one another to create a dynamic relationship and activate the ‘in-between’ spaces as flexible community engagement areas.

Multiple programs packaged into the box

Ordering Systems

The Win House of Culture sits in a large public garden, which will eventually develop into a campus of cultural and exhibition spaces. The stacking of various programs from the theater and exhibition spaces to fitness and play zones create primary zones, while circulation and open program space become activated as secondary ordering systems. The wide range of facilities allow the House of Culture to act as a community center, in which patrons can engage in multiple activities throughout the visit.

Circulation spaces allow new programs to emerge

Response to Culture

The urban curtain can be changed to accommodate Various exhibits

MVRDV worked with The Danish Foundation for Culture and Sports Facilities who seek to initiate and support projects that improve the built environment. The Danish Foundation seeks to construct sports, culture and leisure facilities with focus on architecture and functional demands. The Win House of Culture programmatically responds to the active culture of Denmark with its various set of spaces. Activating the architecture as a community center that fosters activity and sports become the main architectural moves at Win. The Win is wraped in an ‘Urban Curtain” which frames the garden, also allowing great flexibility. The curtain can be used for art projects, bicycle parking, water and light installations , performances and also just as curtains.

WEST KOWLOON CULTURAL DISTRICT ‘CITY PARK’ Programming

City Park or West Kowloon by Foster + Partners proposes a large scale urban intervention focused on creating a cultural district for Hong Kong. Programmatic elements of a large arena, opera house and exhibition house will become the larger scale projects, with smaller teahouses, temples, shops and restaurants scattering throughout the plan to create a connective fabric to the waterfront.

Foster + Partners Hong Kong, China

New programs emerge in landscaped circulation spaces

Ordering Systems

The largest system in place is the waterfront, which becomes the prominent design element. Larger opera houses and expo center fill out the larger scale destination points for the urban design. The expo center fuses together large scale performance venues and puts exhibition areas below grade, reducing infrastructure and services needed for each. The park areas and green rooms line circulation spaces, with larger park areas fronting the water, making green space one of the primary ordering systems for the urban intervention.

The waterfront becomes the paramount feature for the development of a new district

Response to Culture

West Kowloon looks to create a full cultural district instead of just a single architecture. For Hong Kong, a vastly populated city, a large scale urban intervention, a full district is needed to match the sheer quantity of scale. City Park creates completely new venues as opera houses and expo centers, peppered throughout a larger park system to achieve a district based heavily on tenants who will feature cultural events as performances, art shows and exhibitions.

SHIMONOSEKI-SHI KAWATANA ONSEN KORYU CENTER Kengo Kuma & Associates Yamaguchi, Japan

Located in Kawatana, a historic hot springs town , the Onsen Koryu Center focuses on rebuilding the towns liveliness and embedding a new cultural center by connecting to the towns history and natural landscape features. The building has three main functions,; a hall to host public events, a museum to display Japanese art and culture and a tourist information center.

Programming

A single connected architecture, Koryu allows various activities to happen at the same time. People can move throughout the space freely and partake in the various gallery shows or activities taking place. Koryu works overall as a central meeting point for the town and for tourists looking to explore the newly reinvigorated town. The open plan allows each of the three main programmatic elements to become flexible and manipulate the areas needed for various exhibits and shows.

Ordering Systems

Koryu uses the cultural aspects of the towns historic place as a hot spring, and Kengo Kuma manipulates the architectures form to embrace the undulating landscape.

“Architecture as abstracted nature” notes Kuma, the complex polyhedron calls out to the mountains that perimeter the town, and the form resembles boulder that are emblematic of hot springs in the natural landscape of Japan.

Response to Culture

Three main programs connect within one structure

Central passages and multiple entrances allow for through circulation of the space

The geometry replicates the forms found in hot springs and the mountainous natural context

SAMOAN FALE Samoa Location “Fale� meaning house in Samoan, is a culturally significant part of Samoan life. Samoan social organization is based around a dual hierarchy of matai (titled persons), these usually are high chiefs or orators. The fale program varies from a fale tele or guest house, fale umu or cook house to the fale ono which is the main meeting place for family and village council meetings.

The process of building a fale is a communal act, each member in the family or extended family plays a vital role, usually a supportive role of preparing materials or aiding the master carpenter on the build.

Response to Culture

Built of various timber, mostly found on the families plantation, the fale is composed of ulu (breadfruit), niu (coconut) and poumuli trees. Rope braided from coconut fiber is prepared and traditional lashings used in boat building and tool making are used to secure connections. Thatched roofs of coconut tree leaves are composed into a roof and lashed down. This use of local materials both embraces the continuation of traditional building techniques and provides a response to the Samoan climate. The open post plan and densely thatched roof allows for air current to travel up and heat to permeate the porous yet water tight roof. The design of the fale also provides shaded areas for communal events to take place but allow outside air to comfortably travel through the space.

WOODEN CHURCHES OF MARAMURES ROMANIA

Location Resulting from the interchange of Orthodox religious traditions with Gothic influences, the heavy timber churches of northern Romania displayed artistic maturity and high ability in wood craft. Mamures, North of Transylvania, formed by a melding of socio-political and geographical entities, and the wooden churches of Mamures displayed the stories of this interchange with its interior paintings and ornate craft-work. The use of local oak became the prominent building material for both the heavy timber structure down to the shingles of the roof. With eight churches in all, each represents a different religious figure.

Response to Culture

With the dense forest of oak surrounding the site, heavy timber construction along with intricate wood working craft became the central material at Maramures. However the high pitched roofs and shingle design was not just ornamental but served as a climate response to the rainy and snowy region of Northern Romania. The oak is a dense material and very hydroscopic, allowing it to release or absorb moisture to reach equilibrium with its surrounding environment, which in turn allowed the structure to stay intact and not decay for such long periods.

The steep slope of the roofs permits fast flowing of rain water and acts against snow build up during winter months.

KISHMISH KHANAS AFGHANISTAN

Location The raisin grape drying huts of Afghanistan or Kishmish Khanas built of simple mud brick play a vital role in the market culture of Afghanistan. The Kishmish Khanas provide a desirable climate for harvested grapes to wither into raisins which are sold at market.

The system is based on the “Jui� or earth-trellised vineyard system.

The Kishmish Khanas are only used to dry green raisins or Kishmish, where as the red and black raisins are directly dried in the sun.

Response to Culture

The simple mud brick structures, are designed with lattice sides and are easily constructed by landowner. The small openings allow breezes to path through and are located centrally on the vineyard site. The Kishmish Khanas allow for the raisins to thrive even in the cooler temperatures of the night. The design of the lattice work allows for hanging of grapes once harvested and allows a gentle lateral air flow, necessary for the grapes to respirate and create pockets rich in carbon dioxide.

EARTH BLOCK DWELLINGS BOLIVIA

Location Climate Response

The Earth blocks follow a traditional building method, with a lack of other materials present the mud bricks provide a solution to dwelling and simple construction. The clay blocks act as thermal storage, retaining heat from the day time and allowing it to warm the space during the cooler night temperatures.

The small openings between the blocks allow for air movement out and heat escape during the hot day climate.

Response to Culture

The Earth domes of Bolivia and other parts of South America are derived from the availability of local materials and traditional building techniques. The mud blocks are comprised of dir t mixed with water that is packed into a form-work and left in the sun to dry, which eventually forms a hardened clay block. This clay block can be simply stacked and corbeled create simple dome structures, that provide adequate and simple spaces for dwelling.

SHAMBAS : KIKUYU HOUSES KENYA

Location Shambas or Kikuyu houses use local building traditions in a culture that focuses heavily on local resources. With small wooded areas, and high grass land the shambas use the local materials to construct small dwelling and workspaces communities based around farmlands and any other environmental resources. The shambas are built out of simple stick frames that are then layered on with mud or dung, and covered with a light buy secure grass or leave roof.

Response to Culture

Built out of local materials of grass, sticks, mud, sometime dung and cow hide, the shambas provide a small dwelling space that keeps the user shaded from the hot climate of Kenya.

The shambas provide a response to predators as well. The shambas light frame construction and layered material walls allow for warm spaces during cooler night climates and cooler temperatures during the day, allowing hot air to rise and permeate through the grass roofs.

BUDDHIST PAGODA JAPAN

Location Originating from the Indian Stupa, then the Chinese form of the pagoda, the pagoda made its way to Japan with Buddhism.

In the Japanese form of the pagoda, the first floor usually consists of a sacred space or a space for important relics where the above floors are usually inaccessible. In Japanese pagodas the common five story is representational of the five elements. The pagoda holds high importance both of religious importance of Buddhism in Japan along with the masterful skills of Japanese carpentry. The dedication and precision in Japanese woodwork became emblematic of the culture, as much of the traditional pagodas rarely used nails and relied solely on the intricate timber joints.

Response to Culture

Japan lies in a highly seismic region, and earthquakes are a common occurrence for the small island country. With a rich history of culture and architecture, earthquakes can be devastating and destroy centuries old structures. However in pagoda construction, the structure is seismically stable. The central post or shinbashira, flexes like that of a tree during an earthquake. The expansive eaves of the pagoda create a balancing toy effect, or equilibrated stability by gravity, along with its friction damper and base isolation construction elements, have allowed the pagoda to withstand many of Japan’s earthquakes.

A smaller food based multi-cultural center has less programmatic elements but larger community engagement spaces. The market acts as a farmers market during warmer months and is reprogrammed using strong landscape architecture during the colder season. Part of the market can take place indoor, allowing a pared down program but still provide essential elements to the program. The kitchen becomes one of the most important programs as it operates in the public realm, with classrooms adjacent, hosting cooking and healthy lifestyle classes.

Flex space allows for exhibits and other community events to happen such as harvest celebrations and other community celebrations. Dining space focuses on large community meals and becomes a large programmatic element. Floors above focus more on service spaces, with classrooms and conference spaces. Open office space is toward the perimeter for natural light purposes and become a common workspace for various tasks. Administrative and staff rooms are smaller rooms around the perimeter.

Above

This layout meets the goals of providing access to athletic facilities and services of all scales. Larger activities spaces of indoor soccer and basketball courts become central court spaces that focus more on team sport activities.

Around the perimeter, individual activities and service rooms provide program for patrons of all ages. Studio spaces are pushed to the ideal front corner to allow for a visual connection to activity taking place inside the center.

Office spaces and staff spaces fill in the small spaces between major circulation and court spaces, allowing more interaction of services and preferably visual access to sporting activities taking place.

Flex space provides somewhat mobile options such as setting up of chess or checkers, bingo and other board games. Dance Studios and open rooms above along with small athletic activity spaces allow for sport to happen above just the ground level. Classrooms and conferences spaces are pushed to the ideal facade to create a visual counter to the dance studios happening below. Circulation follows and altering grid system with ideally an open atrium space looking down in the larger court spaces below.

SITE ANALYSIS MULTICULTURAL CENTER EAST PDX DECIDING CRITERIA From a list of 42 potential sites, along with a few others that came across in research, sites were narrowed down to 5 that filtered through specific criteria. The main filters were access to public transit, topography, zoning and lot size.

Sites had to have all four of these assets to be considered for development. Each of the next five sites were then filtered again until one site was chosen that best met the projects goals.

PORTLAND, OREGON HAZELWOOD NEIGHBORHOOD ZONED CXd, EAST CORRIDOR PLAN DISTRICT

View from NE 122nd Ave

The Hazelwood Neighborhood has more business and commercial property in it than any other neighborhood in East Portland. It contains the Gateway Urban Renewal Area, Gateway Transit Center, Mall 205, Plaza 205, 205 Place, Menlo Park Plaza, Adventist Hospital, and the East Precinct Police Station, as well as over 800 businesses. The largest employers are Adventist Health and the David Douglas School District.

When the area was annexed by the City of Portland in the late 1980s, much of the neighborhood housing was singlefamily homes. Many new townhomes and affordable apartments have been built since the opening of the MAX light rail Blue Line through the neighborhood in 1996, creating a more vibrant multi-cultural community.

PORTLAND, OREGON LENTS NEIGHBORHOOD ZONED R10PC,JOHNSON CREEK PLAN DISTRICT The Johnson Creek Basin plan district provides for the safe, orderly, and efficient development of lands which are subject to a number of physical constraints, including significant natural resources, steep and hazardous slopes, flood plains, wetlands, and the lack of streets, sewers, and water services. At certain locations, the density of development is limited by applying special regulations to new land division proposals. In addition, restrictions are placed on all new land uses and activities to reduce stormwater runoff, provide groundwater recharge, reduce erosion, enhance water quality, and retain and enhance native vegetation throughout the plan district. At other locations, development is encouraged and mechanisms are included that provide relief from environmental restrictions.

This extremely large site is situated on Kelly Butte Natural Area and has a P and C overlay zone, denoting Environmental zones protect resources and functional values that have been identified by the City as providing benefits to the public. The environmental regulations encourage flexibility and innovation in site planning and provide for development that is carefully designed to be sensitive to the site’s protected resources. The environmental regulations also carry out Comprehensive Plan policies and objectives. Low access to transit and no access to MAX lines make this site difficult to navigate to.

ENVIRONMENTAL

This site is a large 57,600 square feet taking up much of the South Eastern side of Kelly Butte Area,

The site is on a steep slope dropping about 200 feet to the South East. It is also heavily forested.

This site zoned residential has higher restrictions on build out and most likely will need to be divided in to subplats for proper development.

EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS The highly sloped site is heavily forested and features no existing access road to the site. Currently a large plat, the land will most likely need to be sub-platted out for commercial development as the current zoning only allows conditional use or none at all in terms of some typologies. The overlay of P and C environmental zones make it difficult to propose zoning changes due to the high protection of natural resources.

With a site area of roughly 76,000 square feet, the building foot print is relatively small. However, the market place takes advantage of the expansive site with a large open program plaza. The produce market relies on valuable street frontage, while the multicultural center sits mid site. Parking is pushed to the North of the site where vehicle access currently exists. Paved pedestrian paths meander to the Southeast portion of the site, where community gardens occupy what was once a series of parking spaces.

The larger structure takes advantage of street frontage due to the ground floor being retail and service based. Parking is access through adjacent restaurant parking and fills out the bottom Southeast portion of the site.

Basketball courts and large playgrounds offer community assets that are situated safe distances from busy streets. Simple berms and grassy hills along with tree covering offers a simple an beautiful alternative to the existing parking lot.

Situating the structure mid-site brought new programming opportunities and created efficient utilization of the site. Planting gardens for vegetables and other flora are located right off 122nd, softening the hard street edge with usable landscaping. Parking uses existing access and provides loading zones for users. At the bottom end of the site a small linear park, with picnic areas and playground space revamp a once barren parking lot.

Site # 1 located on 122nd and Burnside offers a great set of opportunities for a multi-cultural center. With great access to the max on Burnside and numerous bus routes on both 122nd and Burnside, the site has excellent access to public transit.

The site is currently undeveloped, but has existing parking infrastructure.

The site also has a 4:1 F.A.R allowing for a large building to take place, and has no minimum parking required.

However, the site is large and is an odd shape. The ‘flagpole’ on the Southeast side of the site creates programming challenges along with the current access through Ron Tonkin car dealership to the South.

REVISED PROJECT GOALS Multi-Cultural Center in East Portland

Equity Equitable Environment: Create a space dedicated to eliminating disparities suffered by communities of color, immigrants, refugees and other historically marginalized groups.

Meeting Ground Meeting Ground: Establishing areas in which cultures can engage in conversations, activities and community events.

Education Education: Establish program elements that create positive outlets for youth as well as seminars and training for adults.

Services For people who are new to the country, may not speak the language, or overall need help, a space for services is desired

Income Generation Leasable space for businesses, allowing the building to generate income, as well as supporting small businesses.

MULTI-CULTURAL CENTER EAST PDX Chris Kline I ARCH 582 I S.13 I PSU Page I 97

PREFERRED CONCEPTUAL DESIGN meeting ground

The “Meeting Ground� in the schematic design phase is most emblematic of the qualities of communities of East Portland. From the aesthetics of copper panels to the central stair and garden lobby, the design has multiple strong points that can be propelled into deeper design investigations.

The design currently lacks true income generators, which are possible by replacing outdoor garden space with food carts and making the plaza a more active and economic space.

The design also needs to incorporate more transparency, focusing on the kitchen and the activities that take place within, this will create a stronger programmatic and aesthetic connection for the buildings users.
