PROJECT 1

CROSS-CRUZAR San Diego-Tijuana | 2018


CROSS-CRUZAR A reform strategy is proposed to improve the existing border which is facing humanitarian and environmental crisis. The space now between the two fences on the border is a Buffer Zone that protects both countries from the impact of the other side. But it also increases the impermeability of the border and isolates the two countries. To change the Edge Effect in a positive way, the buffer zone needs to be transferred to a neutral ground that welcomes the entrance of citizens and immigrants and provides the ground for interfacing. The communication among individuals can enhance the understanding of each other and release the fears of the stranger neighbors. Edges between the program thresholds in the neutral ground will stimulate the thought exchange between diverse groups of people. Moreover, the project will be a conjunction of architecture and landscape. All the edges and patterns will be considered and finally achieve an integrated harmony in the neutral ground. It should accommodate the sustainable design strategies to use natural lighting, clean energy, and water recycling systems. The material will be selected to be economical, environmental-friendly and responsive to dynamic circumstances. The building impact on the existing fragile ecosystem will be minimized. Overall, the neutral ground will mediate the separation of the two countries and embrace the positive Edge Effect. It will open to both sides for reunion and celebration, and form cross-border citizenship, coexistence, interrelationships, humanization, and understanding.

WATER SYSTEM

ENERGY SYSTEM GREYWATER SYSTEM

BLACKWATER SYSTEM

The major environmental system of the Cross-Cruzar consist of energy GREYWATER SYSTEM and water. Because of the climate, the building uses passive heating BLACKWATER SYSTEM and cooling as well as a natural ventilation system. The only exception is the Assembly 2, which is below grade with the occupant load of 200, so two exhaust fans are installed to assist air flow. With the installation of only one elevator and minimal lighting, the building’s energy system benefits from the abundant solar radiation in San Diego. The solar panels can fulfill the energy requirement for the building. Additionally, the extra electricity can be used to desalinate the seawater, which will meet the water usage in this building. The greywater and rainwater will be collected and treated in the constructed wetlands on site. Due to the scale and economic factors, the blackwater cannot be processed on this project. They will be stored and processed in a septic tank system under the toilet. Nonetheless, composting toilets are installed in Threshold 1 to decrease the wastewater.

CONCEPT DIAGRAM

This stream of water went up and down generates a route meandering between the parts of the project. The distance of the route reflects the time in history. The elevation symbols the volume of water base on its height compared to the existing aqueduct on site – the lower it is, the more water it gets. And the three sources where people got water from, the Tiber River, Aqueducts and Modern Water System, will be applied to the three sections of the architecture that inhabit the characteristics of those three water delivery pattern. Tiber River is a linear center (Visitor center). Aqueducts are multiple canals that end in the fountains in the city and become public space (Museum). What’s more, the Modern Water System is a multilayer that water comes from different sources, the pipes follow the grid of the city to deliver the water to fountains, nasoni and private homes (Residence). Meanwhile, the different sources Romans choose to get water direct the landing point of the route in those three sections of the building.

TIMELINE

The Aqua Storia project is a visitor center for the Aqueduct Park which located in the suburb of Rome city. The concept is developed on the interpretation that history of water in Rome is a dynamic changing complex. It was closely connected to the rise and fall of the city. In the beginning, the Tiber River bred the Rome in 735 B.C. After the first aqueduct was built up in 312 B.C., Romans erected numerous water facilities around the city. Whereas around 537 A.D., Rome was almost abandoned after the Gothic War, and the aqueducts were all out of function, which left the city in water shortage for about 1,000 years. People had to go back to the polluted Tiber River for water. This condition lasted until the Renaissance time when the Popes began to restore aqueducts and the volume of water went into the Rome city increased. At the beginning of 19th century, the modern water system was implemented in Rome thus the population of the city started to rocket.

WABASH ART INCUBATOR Located at the middle section of Wabash Arts Corridor, which is a recently thriving art program led by the Columbia University in Chicago at South Loop, the project site is surrounded by the circumstance of art related museums and education facilities. At the end of 19th century, the site was the immigrant house. Fortunately, the 1871 Great Fire and 1874 Fire did not catch the site. And in 1887, with the trend of redeveloping Chicago after the disaster, a Louis Henry Sullivan Building was built on this land. The building was used as a furniture factory, office, steakhouse, and then secretarial college before 2006 when the fire from its basement destroyed the whole structure. What remains on the site just gravels and the wild grasses randomly come out from the ash. The ambition of the project is to attract students, community members, and art lovers from other parts of the city. This new art incubator building will, just like the wild grasses come out from the site now, root in the ashes of history, absolve the nutrition from the soil of community and colleges around, and photosynthesize the light of public arts from the corridor. The structure of the building goes all the way down from the roof to basement. The content of each ‘grass’ unit is art space. What’s more, the voids between ‘grasses’ are the open space for public engagement. The building will provide communication and engagement opportunity for public arts. Yet it will unveil the history underground which will recall the sense of community and trigger the inspiration on art.

The project site is located at Valenzuela City at North of Manila Metropolitan area which is the capital city of Philippines. This area is suffering from Typhoon, flooding, land subsidence, trash pollution, sea level rise, and saltwater intrusion. The objective of the competition is to promote preventive holistic design paradigms that engender the physical, cultural and social resiliencies of Asian communities in light of natural disasters. The intention of the design scheme is to, in one way, implement stormwater management strategies to mediate the hydrologic problems and recharge the underground aquifer. In the other way, a large amount of trashes on the site will be collected, cleaned, and processed as the ground-fill to rise the land which encounters with the dynamically raising sea level. What’s more, community centers and new housing projects will be built to serve the residents.
