PROJECT 1 UNIT DESIGNThe design of housing can be understood as an exercise in physical, en-vironmental and social managment. Housing must be scaled to the size and proportion of the human body and designed to support basic human activities such as sleeping, eating with friends, and storing our most impor-tant posessions. Housing must mitigate our natural environment, making it as comfortable to live in coastal Japan as it is in west Texas. And housing is the setting for many of our most important social relationships which, as any teenager knows, can have important spatial imperatives. Housing, in short, creates the background for much our lives and consequently, its design can facilitate, support and even confound the way those lives are lived.

PROJECT OBJECTIVESA) To develop a dwelling space with an articulate wrapper responsive to the needs of three roommates in close proximity in various climactic envi-ronments.B) To understand how issues of sustainability and passive systems affect living environments.> To understand the human body and its various dimensional

The first step in the process was to develop a handful of study models that would operate to defend the occupants from either disadvantages of the sites climate or how to benefit from the sites terrain. They ranged from massing models to conceptual models that were more focused on providing strate-gies or techniques. For instance, one would focus on how to collect local rainwater or act to block sunlight or wind.

Initially, the design was focused around a ramp that would wrap around the central core and all activity would be harvested from that internal core.

Roof adapts to climate according to season, temperature and weather conditions. For instance, in freez-ing temperatures during the Winter, rain and particles of hail can be collected in the large roof device, filtered through a basin, and be used to cool the house through mist during hot summers. During the sum-mer, the roof can be extended out to provide larger shading for the glass facade.

The people in this living space are an infant boy, who is the son of the work at home single father and in time the father will be responsible for taking care of his mother as well. After having a divorce, the father decided to move into something smaller that was cheaper where he could equally take care of his mother and child.

In order to address the needs of this family, it seemed necessary to have the father and grandmother near the infant at all times, allocating the second floor for bathroom, resting and a relaxation space while downstairs would provide a suitable environment for a slightly larger group of people and an area for the child to play in when he grew a bit older.

PROJECT 2 PRECEDENT ANALYSISOur group was assigned Charles Correas tube housing prototype, a concept that provided dwellings for low income families and a precedent at its time that would be implemented in his future architectural work.

The Tube Housing was a first prize winner in an All-Indian competition in 1960 for low-cost housing. Although specified to design for walk-up apartments, Correa designed the prototype to provide row-housing, which proved to have larger living space per family within a low-cost budget.

The openings set up convection currents of natural ventilation throughout the open space.

By offsetting the ground levels, it allows for multi-use of spaces. In such case, doors are not used to designate different spaces, but rather the varying heights of space.

Security is provided by the pergola-grid (a garden feature that creates a shaded walkway, passageway, sitting area) over the internal courtyard. This ensures that the patio is not seal off in the vertical plane alongside of the kitchen and mezzanine but by a horizontal porgola. This creates a single roof that covers not only the main part of the building and the bathroom, but also the indoor courtyard.

The profile of the mezzanine is shaped in a form of an otla (a raised platform).

PROJECT 3 LOW RISE DEVELOPMENTThis project introduces the design of housing in a high-density, low-rise setting. Assigned with a typically-sized South Pasadena lot (approximately 50 x 100), then design four sustainable dwelling units that formulate and present a user group profile to specify for whom the development is targeted with respect to age range, family status, group size and com-position, and special characteristics such as shared professional interests. From the user group profile, students are asked to proivde a detailed pro-gram of dwelling unit types, sizes, and characteristics.

P03 P04P02P01

SITE: South Pasadena - Adjacent to the intersection of Meridian & Magnolia-There are 13 sites total, each student was given 1 site from the highlighted area

SITE # 6

Several study models were developed for the site to sieve through several ideas at a rapid pace and narrow down to a single logic that would benefit the user group and adapt best to site conditions.

Conceptual study models were further developed in order to gather issues from the site and how they could be addressed through form and space. These served primarily as massing models and by inverting the initial model, it allowed us to achieve an understanding of voids, orientation as well as hierarchy through emphasis in massing. I found interest in having one monilithic mass with units carved out to provide a public pathway directly through the site.

Exposing the four units to natural light to characterize and diversify typical row housing units through light wells, skylights and punctures through the facade made it possible to manipulate the units. By directing light into specifc programmatic spaces, spaces would ultimately be defined by the quality of natural light penetrating the facade. Utilization of materials like wood and corrugated metal roofing to improve the overall sustainability of the project. Building orientation to site blocks direct sunlight penetration, yet allows light to come in through the north side. Similar units not only allow the users in-habiting the spaces to all receive equal quality of livng space, but it additionally makes the fabrication process simpler and more efficient.

PROJECT 4 MEDIUM RISE DEVELOPMENTIn this final studio project, students develop an urban housing scheme that explores the potential for site, typology, historic precedent, nature, organizational ideas, ordering principles, circulation, mate-rial studies, event structures, and systems integration to inspire fresh combinations and well-reasoned frameworks for the design of domestic space.

PROJECT OBJECTIVESA) To develop a thoughtful housing type responsive to local lifestyles and concerns unique to the greater metropolitan Los Angeles area.B) To identify active and effective dwelling spaces that emphasize the influence of human scale, com-positional coherence and contextual compatibility.C) To illustrate that medium-density housing units can be tied to urban issues derived from site con-tours, neighborhood amenities, building orientation, prevailing patterns of movement, and a desire for natural light, ventilation and physical access.D) To employ design strategies that enhance or articulate clear and distinct relationships between interior and exterior space.E) To explore imaginative uses for available materials and thoughtful means for the application of structural systems.F) To account for the impact of environmental factors, the consumption of energy and the role of tech-nology in the field of housing.> To establish that special issues linked to the disabled community might introduce design opportuni-ties and suggest solutions that will stimulate rather than impede the formation of creative accessible environments.

SITE: La Cienega + Jefferson Blvd. -There were 3 sites: Little Tokyo, Silverlake, and La Cienega/Jefferson, all of which were located near an MTA station.

Several study models were developed; however, these are a few that contributed the most to the final design. They were key pieces in the development of the project and provided methodologies for hous-ing.

INITIAL UNIT MODEL

After several concept models were produced, the design pro-cess led to early plans. Unit types and basic floor plans and parking plans were introduced in order to attempt to tackle programmatic problems and it became quite taxing to deal with building codes and restrictions.

A BDevelopment of the units is key in providing adaquete living spaces for the ideal user group of graduate stu-dents and students getting out of college and shifting into the workforce. It is important to not only provide individualized units, but also have shared communal spaces that not only the public could access but the inhabitants of the apartment as well. The first floor is dedicated to commercial with retail spaces and a dog park that would allow apartment owners to walk their pets as well as pet owners in the community.

USER GROUP College graduate students / Students transitioning into professional work force

BIG IDEA(S) Develop a space that will not only accommodate the suggested user group, but the larger surrounding commu-nity. It became apparent after the site visit that the territory lacked a sense of place; it was not welcoming. The project aims to provide a gathering space at the base of the site, allowing members of the community to aggre-gate in the public park and and provide a limited retail adjacent to the green space that would host space for commercial activity. The exposed public green space would invite public into the open space below while the upper oors would provide housing for the desired user group. Ideally, the project would provide a hub for metro train goers to remove themselves from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles and instead assemble in this en-closed, intimate space designed to promote social activity.
