San Francisco l California

Spring 2014 l California College of the Arts l Studio 2 l Jason Anderson, Eric Bloom, Lian Eoyang

With the use of the geometric shape of the infinity , the

building itself provides a continuous path in a public

open space. With two different inner courtyards: the

marsh and small gardens, people can sense the

outside atmosphere even when they are inside the

building. Meanwhile, it creates the active public space

with the combination of 24 hour accessible routes and

daytime accessible routes.

Visitors can circulate through different paths: coming down from the top of the slope, going up from the bottom of the slope and the middle pathway, which connects directly to the library. Since, the circulation is the same as the infinity sign, visitors are forced to go around all the program spaces by experiencing outside atmosphere.

Visitors can sense the outside atmosphere even when they are inside the building. Circulating around the building, people also can enjoy the marsh and the activities inside the program spaces at the same time. If they are in the program spaces, they can see the panoramic view of the presidio. In that way, the building provides the horizontal program arrangement which gives clear linear organization, vertical hierarchy of program

spaces and diagonal relationships.

Dividing the main play area, the central core into three sections as swimming pool, aquarium and the waterfall, the hotel will be full of different spatial events and it will become active in both day and night. In that way, more people will come in and enjoy open public spaces which is directly connected to the High Line Level.

The Geothermal water system is treated in the underground and it is used for all four seasons in New York, and water is running through the whole structure of the building including the one which is holding the aquarium and swimming pool. All the structure and trusses are exposed to outside the show the community that how water is essential and treated in different ways.

COMMUNITY INTEGRATOR Affordable Housing in Mission District

Spring 2015 l California College of the Arts l Studio 4 l Kristen Sidell, Randolph Ruiz

The project follows two main aspects based on the

site conditions, in- fill site and city fabric. The site is

situated in between two different urban typology

streets, a main boulevard which has commericnal

and mixed use buildings- Mission Street, and a quiet

residential street- Julian Street. An efficient way of

organizing units and commmunal spaces becomes

critical when designing collectivity housing without

disrupting the nearby houses.

BIKUBEN STUDENT HOUSING STRATEGYL-SHAPE ROTATION (Solid Vs Void)

COMMUNITY INTEGRATOR STRATEGYL-SHAPE ROTATION(Solid Vs Void)

Targeting students, workers, and families, the quality of the spaces are different accord-ing to the user group. The design strategy is to define private-public and semi-private areas based on three different zones. The collective, private, and community spaces also give a rule of division of the interior functions, where the living is located and why. The student living units are dwelled facing Mission Street and the family living units are dwelled in the back, which is facing the Julian street. The courtyard are also divided into three different zones. Work and study for student zones, Gym and sporty for worker zones, and day care for family zones.

The strategy of Community Integrator is arranging the living units in an L -shape like the study of Bikuben student housing and then rotating the shape to create double and triple height spaces. The solid spaces become living units and the void spaces become the shared commu-nal area: kitchen, living rooms and dinning rooms.

2015 l Youth Society For Education l Non Profit Organization

Architecture is not only designing pretty building, it is more about who we are targetting to,

which area we are building, what kind of atmosphere we are creating. In this project, the

design is very simple but it is so effective as the villagers requested. This is their dream

space. With our efforts, parents who are earning meager wages can reduce the burdens of

buying books for their childern. They can also have a comfortable and quite place to study.

They can broaden their horizon from reading books since the educational knowledge is the

only way to change the status of poverty.

The proposal aims to give a shelter which has to be environmentally friendly. The building consists of two main architectural components: the elevated foundation, and the clerestory roof design. The foundation is designed by elevating three feet above from the ground to prevent from flooding in rainy season. The clerestory roof design provides diffuse sunlight to the interior by reflecting off the sloped ceiling without the harsh glare in the morning. The project uses local and sustainable materials including brick, concrete, wood and handmade bamboo weave sheets for ceiling. Bamboo sheets function as both sound and heat insulation so in the rainy season, the users can focus more on their studies and in the hot season it controls the room temperature.

The orientation of the building avoids the noon and evening sunlight, which can heat up the room in both hot and cold seasons. The good ventilation system is created by having high ceiling, which allows warm air to rise by convection and escape to the outside and forces cold air to infiltrate through open doors and windows.

COMPETITIONThe Soft Environments charrette is a short, but

marathon-like term ahead. It is also a Warm-Up

charrette to examine inhabitable inflatable

structures made with semitransparent plastic.

There were 16 teams total and all the structures

Our goal is very simple that we all need to finish, or complete designing and building the inhabitable inflatable structure by using semitransparent plastic and tape within three days. The challenge of the competition is how to make the decision really quick and effective and build the structure up without having any failures.

designed by Guthrie and Buresh, our team

needed to build a section of the building. Since,

the building has rectangular volume, long and

used rockite for concrete and bass wood for

plywood and MDF for the foundation.

to practice the hand drawing skills. Even

though, nowadays we use different computer

softwares as design tools, I believe that we need

to know how to produce a drawing in short

period of time. We usually sketch out our ideas

and thoughts of the relationships between

space and people, connection of outdoor and

indoor. Sketching is requried in every single step

of design process. In my practice, I learn not

only sketches, but also the rendering with water-
