Multi-Cultural Center: Introduction

INTRODUCTION

This is the first half of a comprehensive studio that is over two quarters of Portland State Universities architectural graduate school. The studies and research done for this project cover traditions and architecture of different cultures that reside in East Portland. The research was completed to give insight to students to design a multicultural center for these groups in East Portland since they currently do not have a place they can call home. This project covers different cultures, architectural precedents, programming, site study, an initial design, and a final reconciliation of the design. The next step is to refine the preferred design so it can be detailed and finalized next quarter.

Multi-Cultural Center: Multicultural Center as a Phenomenon

INTRODUCTION

The multicultural center is actually a very new concept. Around the world are thousands of cultural centers that emphasize one or two similar cultures while having a different center for each native culture or common foreign culture. Typically universities will have a multicultural center set in their student union to accommodate their diverse student population, but to have a multicultural center in a city is almost unheard of. This new phenomenon doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have a page on wikipedia that gives a history or definition of what it is. So what is this new idea and how is it defined.

A multicultural center is exactly what is sounds like, a center for many different cultures. This center will either bring different cultures together to mix them or to give different cultures a place to learn about their own culture. This model is important to a coastal city/ state because it is where other cultures tend to enter the country. The model that is produced from this booklet/ design studio will be used by the East Portland Group to eventually make their own multicultural center.

The Plassen Cultural Center is a double skinned box that houses an internal auditorium which allows for perfect sound dampening along with a perfect shape to allow for excellent acoustics. The irregularly shaped curtain wall peels and cuts away the structure and facade of the building to invite in sunlight and to reveal the bright red program inside as seen in figure 1.2 and 1.4. The large stairway and roof structure encloses and informs the new spaces while directing people to the library, cafe, theater, stages and gallery along with giving a space to sit and interact in the open air environment along within the structure. The outdoor area can also be used in many events that require seating like the annual jazz festival. The typical user will eventually pass in, out, over and through the structure. This inside and outside become one with its many openings and walkways.

The roof structure itself is a raised plain that is lifted and lowered to create its undulating elevations as seen in figure diagram 1.5. All of these large stair-ways create the outdoor seating areas for the cafe and for the jazz festival that is held here every year. This festival has up to 100,000 visitors in which thousands of people can sit on the three outdoor amphitheaters that the roof structure creates. The stair / roof structure also provides an access path for the site above the building due to the raise in elevation of the site seen in the upper left side of figure 1.6 by the â&#x20AC;&#x153;musicâ&#x20AC;? area. The buildings inviting monochrome granite siding, red interior and hardwood flooring bring in people who want to learn or explore the building while experiencing culture and heritage. The structure itself embodies the Norwegian society with happiness and intelligence along with sophistication. PEDESTRIAN MOVEMENT

The Stravros Niarchos Founndation Cultural Center (SNFCC) designed by Renzo Piano is located in Athens, Greece at the Faliron Delta which is South West of the city center and the Acropolis. The goal of this project is to create a state of the art facility with environmentally progressive design features so that it can be an emissions neutral building. This standard has been put into effect throughout the entire design process and will continue until the completion date. This sustainable standard is achieved with many attributes including a large pivoted sloped roof that is covered in photovoltaic’s along with wind turbines while being situated on a green roof.

The site and building is Renzo Piano’s vision of peeling up the land and sliding in a new program that will have a green roof protecting it from the elements as seen in figure diagram 2.4. The site is altered further to bring the sea into the program with a large man made canal, as seen at the top of the page, that will run along side the existing esplanade. This will provide a gathering space for families and visitors throughout the site. The facility will ultimately be the largest construction project in the resent past of Greece. This projects will include the new National Library, which will hold the largest number of books in Greece, and the Greek National Opera, which there is a sketch of in figure 2.7. This facility embodies learning, creativity, and sustainable thought processes along with being a new public space for the people. “The Greek National Opera will also provide sophistication and acoustic perfection that will accommodate the most demanding productions including ballets, concerts, musicals, and more intimate solo performances.” (archdaily.com) The Stravros Niarchos Foun1 2 dation Cultural Center will honor Greek culture by enabling both Greek and 1-4, 6-8: http://www.archdaily.com/150392/update-the-stav global visitors to experience art, education, and green space. 3 ros-niarchos-foundation-cultural-center-renzopiano-building-workshop-architects/ 5: http://www.dexigner.com/news/16976

Architectural Design Studio 9 ARCH 582: Spring 2013

The Jewish Museum in Berlin, Germany designed by Daniel Libeskind is a museum based on the social, political, and cultural history of the Jews in Germany for the past seventeen hundred years. The main focus is to show the repercussions of the Holocaust for the first time in postwar Germany. This is actually an addition to the original Prussian Court of Justice building that is located next to the new museum. This older building was turned into a museum in the early 1960s where it now sits as the special exhibitions building along with the new building. The museum is intended to teach about how Berlin was improved by the Jewish community and contribution of the Jewish citizens.

The two buildings are tied together through an underground network that has three axial hallways that connects the multiple sections of the site which each tell a different story as seen below in figure 3.6. The longest path emphasizes the continuum of history while the second leads out of the building to remember those who were exiled from Berlin, while the last path leads you to a dead end at the Holocaust Void. This Void runs entirely across the zigzagging building that shows absence as seen in figure 3.4. There was an addition to the original Baroque building which was a glass courtyard, as seen in figure 3.3, made for more exhibition space and lectures. The new and the old museum shows the struggle and genocide of the Jewish community and how they helped the city of Berlin in the past and present.

The Heybar Aliyev Cultural Center is located in Baku, Azerbaijan and was designed by Zaha Hadid to reignite the cntral part of the city along with many other large scale constructions. This facility consists of a museum, library, conference center, gallery and a theater. This new building is intended to redefine a new neighborhood that is proposed to have new housing, offices, hotels and commercial around the site that is nearly 1.2 million square feet. The form of the flowing skin is generated from the surrounding landscape that creates a language of public and private spaces through its transparencies and solids. These forms also create the individual identity of each separate space. Certain rooms like the library face North so the light that is introduced to the space is soft and even opposed to the museum which has larger windows that allow in more direct light. The museum THEATER faces the green space so that it can communicate better with the people and have a more inviting front, while other more private portions can be pushed back into the structure. These different programs can even be seen from the external skin. For instance the three auditoriums can be differentiated by the bumps in the roof because of the need for higher ceilings so that the stadium seating could fit in.

The Hanamidori Cultural Center is located in Tokyo, Japan. This structure was designed by Yoshiharu Tsukamoto to combine various functions of information that is spread and exchanged associated with the sustainable culture. This building was opened within the Showa Memorial Park which is an outdoor activity area in Tokyo. The main idea of this building was to integrate the landscape with the architecture in which interior and exterior spaces are connected. Yoshiharu Tsukamoto said that his goal was to create architecture that was to make a space as comfortable as if it was in the shade of a tree and would provide support for park activities.

The buildings structure is based on fifteen cylinders of different sizes and materials that hold up an undulating roof structure that is covered in greenery and trees. Each of these cylinders contains different rooms that are treated as separate buildings inside of a secondary skin. These spaces include a workshop, exhibition, cafe, library and a theater among many other smaller programs. Some of the spaces overlap each other and the only way to tell when the next space begins is by a different style of furniture as can be seen in figures 5.3 and 5.4. During good weather, the operable elements can be opened up, using sash devices to enable an unhindered connection to the exterior as seen in parts of figure 5.1. Very large expanses can be opened including many parts of the roof structure. Almost the entire East and West sides of the building as seen in figures 5.1 and 5.7 can be opened up through vertical raising doors to allow as much of the outside environment to come in as possible. These spaces are intended to teach and celebrate the combining of landscape and architecture into one cohesive unit that can be designed with in the future.

The Star Performing Arts Center is a new multi use building in North Singapore which was designed by Aedas Architects. The building comprises of cultural, civic and retail spaces in addition to entertainment and learning spaces. The building will have, in addition to a theater, outdoor amphitheaters and public observation decks. The main entrance acts as a grand foyer that visually and spatially connects between the retail, civic, and cultural zones by introducing a one hundred and twenty foot tall atrium. This is also in addition to a large canopy for outside dinning and entertainment. The theater also can hold more than five thousand people which makes it the largest of its kind in Singapore. This theater is large enough to hold musicals, concerts, and other large scale events. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The concept design is driven by the desire to blur the boundaries between retail and cultural zones and indoor and outdoor spaces with flowing spatial transitions that encourage discovery and deliver an energetic civic node serving one-north and beyond.â&#x20AC;? (Aedas) The mass above the gigantic foyer is entirely open to the South facade to break up the solid entity that it actually is. The theater helps break this pattern by having glass elements protrude outward to change its overall facade. The importance of the cultural and retail components have on each other is simplified by blurring the divisions between them while maintaining functionality. This transition happens vertically from the most public of the open retail into the privacy of the theatre. This structure is also attempting to be sustainable in its ideas of air flow and open spaces. Almost all of the different spaces are open to the outside air and promote circulation throughout the building. There is very little air conditioning needed in the space due to its air movement throughout the year.

SUN ANGLE

Korean architecture throughout time has been in accordance to the sun and solar orientation. A house should be built against a hill and face south to receive as much sunlight as possible. Geomancy also influences the shape of the building, the direction it faces and the material it is built of. Geomancy is a method of divination that interprets markings on the ground or the patterns formed by tossed handfuls of soil, rocks, or sand.

KOREAN VERNACULAR

The large overhangs of the roofs shade the building during the hotter months and allow day lighting year round as seen in the top diagram. The warm air that is higher in the building is channeled out with cross ventilation and pressure changes around the building as seen in the bottom diagram. These houses are designed with inner and outer wings so that the living spaces can be separated from the private spaces. Typically, these wings are separated by gardens and ponds depending of the wealth of the family. The gardens and ponds act as coolers for the air between the wings for added passive cooling.

4.1

The Korean style of building is ornate along with its simplicity in design and construction methods. For thousands of years these buildings were constructed for comfort and durability.

Additionally, to the well crafted roofs, as seen in figures 5 and 6 of the drawings of the cathedrals, Russian architecture uses small windows and openings to hold in the much needed warmth. These openings are low to keep in warmth that has risen higher in the living spaces. The larger structures that are made of stone or concrete utilize thermal mass to disperse heat throughout the day and night. Russian architecture is heavily based on wood due to its abundance in the country.

RUSSIAN VERNACULAR

Russian architecture in most of Russia is focused on whether and warmth along with colorful ornamentation. The very iconic architecture style of the tent-like roofs are believed to be started in Russia in the early 17th century as seen in the figure one of Saint Basilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cathedral in Red Square, Moscow. This is due to its shape being very steep and good at repelling snow pile-ups. This is a necessity because the wood architecture of Russia is not as strong as the marble, stone, and brick buildings in Europe. The wooden buildings of Russia need to constantly shift large amounts of weight from snow piling up on its roofs as seen in the top diagram.

AFRICAN VERNACULAR

African architecture is very diverse throughout the continent. The jungles use larger, sometimes multi family, homes that are made to repel water, while the deserts have light colored heavier buildings that are more focused on thermal mass and dispersing heat throughout the day. These styles differ greatly throughout Africa based on geography and weather.

4.3

There are structures in thatch, stick/wood, mud, mud brick, rammed earth, and stone. These areas are North Africa for stone and rammed earth, West Africa for mud/adobe, Central Africa thatch/wood, East Africa varied, Southern Africa for stone and thatch/wood. A wall in North Africa might be built of stone or rammed earth, in West Africa mud brick, in Central Africa wood, Southern Africa wood or stone, and East Africa uses all of the above. These different attributes each have special benefits to the inhabitants along with readiness to materials. The raised floor in the top diagram makes it so the building doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get flooded during rain storms. Many places in Africa do not have to worry about rain, but they do have issues with heat. This is controlled with materiality and passive cooling techniques like cross ventilation. Some of Africa can use thermal mass in the larger buildings to help cool during the day and warm at night because of the high daily temperature swings.

The houses and cave dwellings were based on light and temperature. This is mostly on how to control daytime sun and how to create ventilation throughout the smaller dwellings in addition to the larger great houses. Thick walls built with straw and clay made this easier, but it was with thermal mass that made this fully possible. There was also multi story ventilation along with large amounts of cross ventilation that made many of these larger structures livable. The cave dwellings were more based on shading the houses throughout the summer months and having a massive thermal mass of the earth in the winter, along with daytime sun as seen in the bottom diagram.

MEXICAN VERNACULAR

Mexican architecture similarly to African is strongly varied based on region. In the north it has architecture of adobe and stone, the multifamily housing as it is seen in the PaquimĂŠ or great houses as seen in figure 5, and the cave dwelling in the caves of the Sierra Madre Occidental as seen in figure 1. Spanish Baroque architecture and cathedrals sprang up throughout Mexico and South America which lead to Neoclassicism and many religious cathedrals and churches.

MIDDLE EAST VERNACULAR

Middle Eastern architecture is almost solely based on passive cooling. The use of shading and pressure variance is key in cooling these large structures, like the city of Shibam in Yemen as seen in figures 1 through 3. This seventeen hundred year old city uses high, narrow corridors to shade the walkways beneath while channeling breezes throughout them. The buildings also use thick walls as thermal mass to cool throughout the day and warm the spaces at night. The walkways on the ground level can be over twenty degrees lower than the surrounding areas, just by being shaded.

4.5

Many of Middle Eastern passive designs use cooling ventilation towers as seen on the right of the page. They can range from single, double, triple, or quadruple sided ventilation towers to cool spaces in different ways as seen in the two diagrams. In addition to these towers, many buildings utilize evaporative cooling by having courtyards with fountains or larger bodies of water adjacent to these towers so the cool air travels through the water to further cool and humidify the breeze to aid in comfort. These spaces are then vented to remove the warmer air to complete the cycle of air flow.

The Native Indians also built larger, more permanent structures called long houses as seen on the right of the page. These could also be called plank houses because in some areas they were constructed with wooden planks. Regardless of material, they are longer usually rectangular structures that are single loaded with sleeping areas on either side of the walkway. These animal skin covered mats were close to the fires but were also raised for more insulation and storage. These structures could also have ventilation openings for hotter climates or places that had more yearly temperature differences. The long houses and wigwams had similar features that made them more comfortable to live in throughout the year.

NATIVE AMERICAN VERNACULAR

The Native Northwest Indians lived in wigwams and long houses. Wigwams were made by bending young trees to form the round shape of the home as seen in figure 2. Over this shape pieces of tree bark were overlapped to protect the Indians from bad weather. Over the bark a layer of thatch, or dried grass, was added. A small hole from the top allowed smoke from the fires to escape in which there could be up to six of. Beds were matting covered with animal skin that were laid around these fires. This style of building was use mainly in the West and Northeast of the US.

LEARNING

5.1

With any culture there are many traditions and customs that can be lost if not passed to new generations. These traditions can be taught to youth or others on different days to re-establish their identity in the community. This would ideally be taught by locals that have a heritage or extensive knowledge of the culture they are teaching. Additionally in these learning centers there would be the newest of technologies for people to learn and check out to aid in job preparation or business training.

Architectural Design Studio 9 ARCH 582: Spring 2013

EXHIBITION Each culture has its own traditions and arts. These need to be able to be shown to the public to carry on the knowledge and traditions of the many cultures. There will be a unique space to exhibit the work of famous people from their country, or of the people in the workshops in the cultural center.

PAINTING

Many cultures also use paintings and different arts to show tradition and communication. These paintings could dictate different tribes, celebratory events, or just show historical events. This center should have ample room for not only producing and teaching art, but also to display either what is made in house or traditional works from artists. Many people could learn from generational teachings from historical works or teachers from different cultures.

The information collected for these preliminary goals were from an interview but more importantly from an online survey taken from many different groups around east Portland that will ultimately be the ones using the spaces / cultural centers that are designed. Each student was tasked to research and interview a different group from East Portland. The group that was my focus was the Free Arts NW. Their predominant interests were teaching the arts to younger generations. Another large concern was having a space for exhibit and work.

COOKING

GOALS

All cultures have their own cultural foods and methods of preparing them. Each culture has different techniques and needs for making certain meals. A fully furnished and functional kitchen would be ideal for this center so any different cultural group could make whatever specialty dish they desired and most likely do not have the room or money to accommodate them at home. This would also be a place that recipes could be passed down to new generations along with a large enough dining area for parties or celebrations.

Architectural Design Studio 9 ARCH 582: Spring 2013

GARDENING In most cultures there will be specific fruit or vegetables from different regions that would not be able to be purchased at the local markets or grocery stores. This garden would and possibly greenhouses would be a space that people could grow some of these unique foods or herbs. These unique farming techniques could be trained in this location to people who want to continue these processes or just passed down to a new generation.

LEARNING With any culture there are many traditions and customs that can be lost if not passed to new generations. These traditions can be taught to youth or others on different days to re-establish their identity in the community. This would ideally be taught by locals that have a heritage or extensive knowledge of the culture they are teaching. Additionally in these learning centers there would be the newest of technologies for people to learn and check out to aid in job preparation or business training.

Architectural Design Studio 9 ARCH 582: Spring 2013

Each culture has its own traditions and celebrations. These are commonly expressed in dance or music which this center will need many facets for the people to use. A theater should be implemented for small productions along with music rooms for practice and concerts. These traditional productions also should have the space for celebrations of many people and cultures at a given time. There will also be plenty of space outside for cultural celebrations in the open air along with a fire ring for other engagements.

The next step for the search for a site that the multicultural center can be located was to narrow the scope of East Portland. There are hundreds of locations, lots, and redevelopment properties that are viable but for the sake of time, decisions had to be made. There was an initial map that was generated by the cultural group client that selected 42 potential sites. This included 21 private and 21 public locations that were split among the 16 students to research. From these 42 potential locations, 5 were picked based upon zoning, cost, proximity to transit, size, etc. These sites, once researched individually further, will become the final locations that can be chosen by each student.

Education in Portland is a strong feature of Portland’s culture and society. There are many schools in the surrounding area that will ultimately feed this center with patrons and students, along with many cultural teachers and elders that will be able to pass their collective knowledge to these students. There are also many libraries around each site location, but there aren’t any that are in the close vicinity of the proposed site. This site is additionally adjacent to many types of circulation including bus transit and a close MAX stop. There is also many adjacent parking locations from this site and plenty of room for bicycle and pedestrian access.

SITE VEGETATION This enormous site give many opportunities other than just size and topography. There are many different tree types that are great for using as building materials, flooring, art, and even furniture. This is not surprising since Portland and much of the Northwest was founded because of the logging industry. Currently this allows the building to use these materials instead of just destroying them or shipping them away. The revised design incorporates much more wood that was already on the site and re purposed into many other parts of the building.

SCHEME 1

Scheme ones intention is to easily bring people into the center while giving them the amenities to be able to learn and teach their cultures past and present. The main bridge brings the patron directly into the heart of the center where the kitchen and dining areas are situated. This entrance space also feeds into the main floor of the theater where groups or artist can put on shows or performances to show their talents and expertise. This scheme combines sustainability and engineering to create a unique design that will set it apart to its surroundings while creating a comforting feeling with its international style of architecture.

9.5

Additionally, there are many classrooms and art studios where younger generations can learn traditional practices of the arts so they will not be lost in the future generations. Art, music, and food are common elements in all cultures. These are celebrated in this space so they will not be lost. This facility also has a large office space that can provide the room needed by the many cultural groups of East Portland that currently do not have spaces of their own. This large office floor has many meeting rooms that people would be able to utilize for their groups. On the same floor as the office there is a tea/ hookah lounge to attempt to bring in a younger generation while still accommodating any number of other people.

SCHEME 2

The main schemes intention is to bring people into the center while giving them the amenities to be able to learn and teach their cultures past and present. The main parking is situated on top of the building that is accessed from a service road North of the site. There are two adjacent vertical access cores that lead into the center of the facility where the kitchen and dining areas are situated. This entrance space also feeds into the main floor of the theater where groups or artist can put on shows or performances to show their talents and expertise.

This scheme combines sustainability and engineering to create a unique design that will set it apart to its surroundings while creating a comforting feeling with its international style of architecture. The pun is not lost in this style which is the evolution of architectural styles to a universal worldwide style originating in the early twentieth century. Additionally, there are many classrooms and art studios where younger generations can learn traditional practices of the arts so they will not be lost in the future generations. Art, music, and food are common elements in all cultures.

This scheme utilizes the site and design of the building to fulfill all of the goals proposed for each scheme with an addition of â&#x20AC;&#x153;exercisingâ&#x20AC;? to the mix. Each goal is mapped out where its main spaces reside in the left massing / ordering systems diagram. These goals are separated with an intermingling of spaces to create more interesting gathering places for people to congregate and learn about different cultures. The arts and foods that people can experience are key to this buildings success and revitalization to this proposed site. This location can be more utilized while staying secluded enough to keep it in a natural habitat on Kelly Butte National Area.

Site 1" = 50'-0"

The building is located centrally on the site for a few reasons. First, the building is acting as an icon landmark for other cultures as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;port of entryâ&#x20AC;? into Portlands own culture. The building will be a large campus like icon that shows new people or visitors where to come to experience the cities and other cultures. Secondly, the building is located on a spot in the property line that has the lowest slope in the size of the buildings footprint. This will limit digging out the site and build up under the building. One of the buildings main cooling systems is the earth itself. At and below twenty feet the earth is at a constant year round temperature of forty five degrees Fahrenheit. This with circulating air will keep the building at a comfortable temperature.

THERMAL MASS

This facility is designed to optimize its energy efficiency to aim for complete passive systems. There are many different aforementioned strategies that get the building to nearly passive cooling. There is also a large amount of windows to allow a maximum of day lighting while shading unwanted heat gains in the hotter months while allowing warmth to circulate in the winter. There are also large Earth tubes that bring in the nearly continuous Northwest winds that cool the spaces with cross ventilation. This is aided by the temperature of the earth since much of the structure in far below the grade line. This constant temperature aids in the rooms circulation by creating pressure zones that push and pull the air throughout the building. The larger more populated spaces will use radiant panels that are attached to the ceilings to cool the hotter air that rises in each space, creating additional air flow of comfortable temperatures.

The floor plans are laid out so the spaces are self contained, while combining groups so there is a marriage of activities throughout the facility. The facility provides amenities for all ages including a large full gym with a rooftop basketball court and a tea / hookah lounge for people to relax and enjoy the atmosphere while overlooking all of Southeast Portland. Additionally, there is a large two story theater with an art gallery opposing the facility.

SCHEME 3 Scheme threes intention is to bring people into this larger cultural center which will accommodate many more people and have ample room for much larger gatherings and events. These amenities will make people be able to learn and teach their cultures past and present to other generations and cultures. The main bridge brings people into the large facility where the kitchen and dining areas are located. This entrance space also feeds into the main floor of the theaters where groups or artist can put on shows or performances to show their talents and expertise. This scheme combines sustainability and engineering to create a unique and large design that will set it apart to its surroundings while creating a comforting feeling with its international style of architecture. The pun is not lost in this style which is the evolution of architectural styles to a universal worldwide style originating in the early twentieth century. Additionally, there are many classrooms and art studios where younger generations can learn traditional practices of the arts so they will not be lost in the future generations. Art, music, and food are common elements in all cultures. These are celebrated in this space so they will not be lost. This facility also has a very large office space that can provide the room needed by the many cultural groups of East Portland that currently do not have spaces of their own. This large office floor has many meeting rooms that people would be able to utilize for their groups. On the same floor as the office there is a bakery and tea/ hookah lounge to attempt to bring in a younger generation while still accommodating any number of other people. This space is also joined by a leasable room for large functions or parties throughout the year with a phenomenal view on Southeast Portland.

This enormous site give many opportunities other than just size and topography. There are many different tree types that are great for using as building materials, flooring, art, and even furniture. This is not surprising since Portland and much of the Northwest was founded because of the logging industry. Currently this allows the building to use these materials instead of just destroying them or shipping them away. The revised design incorporates much more wood that was already on the site and re purposed into many other parts of the building.

Multi-Cultural Center: Site Analysis

R10 Single Dwelling Zones 1 unit per 10,000 sq. ft. The single-dwelling zones are intended to preserve land for housing and to provide housing opportunities for individual households. The zones implement the comprehensive plan policies and designations for single-dwelling housing. Environmental ( (p) and (c) and NRMP) overlay zones Environmental zones protect resources and functional values that have been identified by the City as providing benefits to the public.

Zoning

This site is presently zoned as R10p which would not allow for a Multi Cultural Center. This site is proposing that the southern property zoning extend up to the Kelly Butte Natural Area. This would make the current site zoned as EG2 with a design overlay. This zone implements the Central Employment map designation of the Comprehensive Plan. The zone allows mixed-uses and is intended for areas in the center of the City that have predominantly industrial type development. The Design Overlay Zone promotes the conservation, enhancement, and continued vitality of areas of the City with special scenic, architectural, or cultural value. This is achieved through the creation of design districts and applying the Design Overlay Zone as part of community planning projects, development of design guidelines for each district, and by requiring design review or compliance with the Community Design Standards. The large site does have some transit near it by means of two bus stops North and South of its location. There isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any MAX locations near this area which limits non car owners.

Education in Portland is a strong feature of Portland’s culture and society. There are many schools in the surrounding area that will ultimately feed this center with patrons and students, along with many cultural teachers and elders that will be able to pass their collective knowledge to these students. There are also many libraries around each site location, but there aren’t any that are in the close vicinity of the proposed site. This site is additionally adjacent to many types of circulation including bus transit stops. There is also many adjacent parking locations from this site and plenty of room for bicycle and pedestrian access.

SUSTAINABILITY

CURRENT GOALS

The main goal of this revise system is sustainability. Portland has its own culture that is very different than the rest of the countries. This city is very conscious of its energy footprint and recyclables. This center will not only be almost entirely passive, but it will also enforce these strategies by letting the inhabitant not only see them, but learn about how the building functions. This can also inform people how to be more energy consciousness while learning about their own cultures along with Portlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s culture.

10.7

Architectural Design Studio 9 ARCH 582: Spring 2013

GARDENING In most cultures there will be specific fruit or vegetables from different regions that would not be able to be purchased at the local markets or grocery stores. This garden and possibly greenhouses would be a space that people could grow some of these unique foods or herbs. These unique farming techniques could be trained in this location to people who want to continue these processes or just passed down to a new generation.

TEACHING The secondary focus of this facility is teaching and learning. The many facets of the building are design to teach about not only sustainability and gardening, but about how to enter the city and be successful as a human. This center will teach people what they need to do to get citizenship while giving them the skills they need to get and maintain a job. The multicultural center will also not only teach people about their own culture and heritage, but teach them about others and how they can work together best.

A problem that has continuously been raised regardless of efforts to bring in natural light is that some of the spaces will be too dark. After many sky lights and larger windows have been added, there are still rooms that do not have any spaces that have natural light.

This can finally be solved by adding in a long light well in the back of the structure to bring in tons of extra light and help expose the building to nature. The shear walls that act as thermal mass syncs will need to be extended through the light well to be effective. The earth tubes additionally will need to be pushed back with the access road to allow maximum light penetration. The earth tubes will then protrude out and through the light space to enter the building.

This schemes main difference to the others was it lack of a monumental entrance and bridge that connected the center to Powell. The original two bridge designs in schemes 1 and 3 were interesting and dynamic but lacked in subtlety which detracted from the main design of the building. The contrast of its grandeur and the clean sleek design that the building was styled after made it too ornate for the site. The reconciliation here is to make the bridge system more organic to blend into the tree canopy while continuing its dynamic nature. The precedent that was most appealing is the Langkawi Sky Bridge in Malaysia which was completed in 2005. The simplified structure (compared to previous bridges) will make the cost much more feasible in addition to its appearance next to the heavy solid building. Another aspect that will improve the users experience is that the bridge can be lowered closer to the canopy to extenuate nature instead of separating from it. 1: http://fotografais.blogspot.com/2010/03/sky-bridge-malasia.html 2-4: http://www.vijaybisht.in/2013/02/worlds-most-exclusive-sky walk-bridge-3.html

MATERIAL RE-DESIGN

A common complaint from the final design was that the materials that were decided upon and used were not portrayed enough in the sections and diagrams that were made for the final product. To accentuate the use of different materials there will be an exaggeration of forms made by wood, metal and earth.

The wood can wrap up from the floor to create benches or art while showing the wood from the building site. The main lobby space would be an ideal location for the most articulated material uses.

The High line park in New York city and the work by Georgia Tech students are unique and interesting ways of using wood differently to make everyday things.
