ReAnimate LA: Bringing an Environmental and Social

Consciousness to Los Angeles


4/29

ECO_ROOTS: ARCHITECTURE ROOTED IN EC OLOGY

Architecture is an industry based on the needs of its users, a service to society. It is the conception of a building that brings purpose and meaning to the ritual

of mankind. By that acknowledgement, the conscious realm of architecture must ensure that its field responds proactively to the constant interaction of the

evolving modern environment. At this time it is viable to assume the role of architect as a persuasive entity in the resourceful elucidation of the worlds

quandaries. I believe it is the architect who must take the profession not only for himself in self-expression but also as a methodological investigation of form

through the determination of social and technical processes. Becoming an architect has not only been a determinant lifelong quest but has given meaning to

an ecological social investigation of life itself. I believe that in furthering my education I can only devote more to these modern social investigations for the

prospect of future advancement for the profession.

Throughout my career as a college student I strived to excel at the resolute nature of my curriculum exploring architecture and design through social and

cultural processes as they influence the built environment. As a recent graduate, I was recently selected for the Lifecycle Building Challenges Best Green Job

Creation Outstanding Achievement Award for ReAnimate LA, a project about bringing an environmental and social consciousness to Los Angeles. During my

undergraduate studies, I won first place in two charrette competitions during my year-long study in Denmark, an experience that has greatly enhanced my

understanding of culture and architecture. I was also selected for the colleges quarterly exhibit 3 years running with projects in housing, transportation, and

bridge design.

In the future, I hope to research the social and cultural processes of architecture and the urban space as a place of constant interaction within the American

society. It seems that in studying the process by which cultural patterns shape the urban landscape one could establish links between buildings and cities and

between people and the global context. I plan to continue to implement the knowledge I acquire at my current job into physical architectural practice balanced

between digital fabrication, social ecology, and environmental design. I hope to make a difference in the lives of others in society and one day help elate the shift

in attitude of the American public from our profession towards a more socially sustainable and environmentally aware society.

The intersection of Wilshire Blvd and Roberston Blvd in Beverly Hills is a bustling connection to westLos Angeles. Robertson Blvd heads North from the 10 freeway with many unique shops andrestaurants. Wilshire Blvd is the busier of the two streets with larger offices, stores, billboards, andthe Metro Rapid line bus. During the day, many business people and leisure go-ers cross between theWilshire/Roberston connection. An exhibition area would benefit the community with a park likesetting to provide open space and recreation for the members of a heavily crowded area. Thepreliminary station design is derived using a system of influencial grids: one aligning with Roberstonand one with the subway station below Wilshire. The hybrid space between programmatic elementswas arranged according to their appropriate relationships as a systematic method for establishingtheir position on the site. Next, the programmatic elements were guided along the two influential gridsaccording to the three themes: View, Move, Engage. The result is a structure which grows from itself

to allow for enclosure in some areas and a more open plan in others. The building flows downunderground to the subway level and wraps itself around the station, flowing as a series of influentialmovements guiding the users through the site.

The design of a large housing complex with live/work units is to be proposed on Silverlake Blvd. The sitewas designed as a gradual topographical change stepping up towards the hillside behind creating diversityand views for each unit which begins to flow up from Silverlake Blvd. into private courtyards with views toboth the street and the gardens below. A community center is also centrally located on the site to allow forcongregation and seperation between "communities" or groupings of units. The exterior is treated withhorizontal louvers for privacy and solar control with corrugated metal panels indentifying each of the units

with seperate colors for personalization and identification for visiting users.

The propsed site is located within a larger area owned by a Japanese woman who writesmovies in Hollywood. She is to use the small site located in a ravine between twohillsides as a private weekend home. The rest of the site is to be given for natureresearch and preservation. The program was very simple and the school required eachstudent build their own design in a 1'=1" scale model. Real materials were to be used inthe models. The concept was derived to create a "nest" in the center of the canyon witha 360 degree view of the vegetation and wildlife. The steel structure wraps around two

thin plans creating the ceiling and floor. The kitchen follows similar language with planarelements and wood flooring.

Ergomorph is the ultimate design in corrugated comfort and style! It embraces the human body as asystem of anthropometric proportions relative to a center of gravity. The chair emphasizes function andcomfort while allowing for multiple uses for greater flexibility. A person can sit, lay, share a seat, orrock back and forth in the chair. The chair can then be stored upright if space is limited.

The strength of Ergomorph is in its engineering. In this case form followed function as our concept wasbased on the basic idea of comfort. What better way to address this than by molding it to your body. Inthis way the chair gains an element of strength and stability following an added benefit of pleasing asthe tics. The chair appears light and uniform with subtle exciting changes in the profile of the curvature.Corrugation is the strength of cardboard so it seemed natural to expose it at the edge of each frameas a tectonic expression.

A simplicity in assembly was also a design concept for the Ergomorph. The chair is made using onlyrecycled corrugated paper obtained from local stores. It was constructed with relatively common toolssuch as a band saw and a rounded drill bit. Four recycled corrugated frames are glued together to forma single morphed frame. After each of the 15 frames are made, glue laminated cardboard pipes areguided through each frame and glued at the connections. The frames morph from a seated position up

to a laying position. Ergomorph balances a person s weight using their center of gravity and allowsfor the user to adjust their angle of reference which allows for rocking and flexible movement.

Sundbyhavn is a unique site located in the suburbs outsideCopenhagen with a large influence from the adjacent harbor. Views toSweden and a new park face the southeast while industrial parks canbe seen to the north. Therefore there is a constant interaction of twosystems on the site: boating and living. The influence of the boatingactivities is therefore reflected into the units with a wrapping organicwooden frame which supports unique views and moments within theplan. Concrete is used as a more massive, heavy form which alsowraps itself throughout the unit. It is the moments where the twosystems unite and weave across one another that allow the user tounderstand they are part of a larger system within the site.

Osterbrograde Avenue and Copenhagen's northern lake, SortedamsSo, surround a site existing between two existing 17th centurybuildings in a narrow space. The facade faces south and is adjacentto one of the busiest avenues in Copenhagen. A graphic design officehas been proposed on this site as a graphic beacon for the east side

of the city. A need for a sound barrier as well as sun protection isessential. The concept for the office derived as a series of graphicrepresentational methods which encompassed the plans and facade.The facade is relates to the floor heights of the adjacent buildings inoffering a double skin louver system which appears to bridge the gapbetween the older buildings. Advertisements and office work are to beshown across the facade as to become a graphic link to the city whichcan be seen across the lakes. The interior spaces also mimick thisprincipal as they are derived as linear extension of the facade; abridging between old and new, orientated to the view of therecreational lake and thier orientation to the sun. Colors are usedthroughout ascending process as a guide to the flow of circulation. Redbeing the link between the city, as if inviting others to approach the

street-side gallery and orange as a vertical marker for variousprogrammtic circulation routes within the building. The buildingproposed is to be a canvas for Copenhagen's east suburb and aninteractive attraction for those who come to see it.

BRINGING AN ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL

CONSCIOUSNESS TO LOS ANGELES...

The goal of ReAnimate LA is to introduce visitors of the LosAngeles State Historic Park to a multi-layered urban network that makes associations to what is found in ecological andsocial context of Los Angeles. The building will be a role modelin exploring lifecycle building techniques thatreinforce the themes of sustainabledesign and material reuse.

The focus of ReAnimate LAis to reduce the overallcarbon emissionsassociated with theconstruction andmaintenance of a publicbuilding by up to 50% whilehaving a 30% reduction in

the need for new buildingmaterials associated with itsdesign. In order to achievethis goal, the project calls touse recycled metal panelingfrom the railroad companywhich existed on the site forover a hundred years whilealso using efficient buildingsystems reducing its overallcarbon footprint.

The project consists ofabout 32,500 square feetof educational exhibitionspace, park offices, publicrestrooms, and pedestrian

walkways connecting thesurrounding urbanenvironment to the newlyrecovered state historicpark. ReAnimate LA spansacross existing social andecological boundariesopening up the city to amulti-use system that willultimately serve as an openvenue for decades to come.

Post-construction phase:Renewable energy systems will helppower up to 70% of the buildingsenergy needs using photovoltaicarrays on the roof and passiveheating and cooling strategies

throughout the building. Concurrently,

the bioremediation laboratorysefforts will restore native plants whichrequire less water as well as convert

the site from an urban brownfield to athriving city park.

Building development phase:During the buildings peak years ofuse it will be constantly reusedaccording to city and localdemands. The pedestrian bridgewill serve a large neighborhood

that was once separated from thepark and renewable energysystems will be updated according

to modern technology. Thebioremediation laboratory willregulate water usage and plant

growth along the 32 acre parksite. The building will continue to bea living example of Lifecycleplanning methods.

Building deconstruction phase:The life of a typical building constructedin Los Angeles is no more than about 85

years due to earthquakes and type ofconstruction. ReAnimate LA wasdesigned to deteriorate and age with thesite, changing over time in landscape andmaterials. After the building is no longerused it may be disassembled in differentphases. If the city should need to keep

the pedestrian bridge the modularconcrete structural floor and roofsystems may be disassembled around

the bridge leaving only the necessaryparts of the building. Because thebuilding has 72% outdoor spaces thatare enclosed by the shaded facadesystem such as the Los Angeles Riverexhibit and the pedestrian bridge, it

allows for the building to act as asculptural building element explored bypark visitors at all times. Disassembly ofbuilding elements such as the facadesystem and interior elements can berecycled and easy detached for later use.

Local and salvaged materials will be utilized fromprevious railroad and industry site uses for theinteractive shading facade of the building as well asinterior finishes. An efficient structural system willminimize material consumption for the floor and roofsystems. In addition to high-recycled content in mostmaterials, the structural concrete will incorporate ahigh-flyash content to replace Portland cementcontent and reduce overall embodied energy.

The finished project will engage local industries andsuppliers as part of a long-term strategy to conserveenergy and promote urban and ecological recovery.

ReAnimate LA maintains a LEED Platinumcertification target, with energy-use reduction andon-site energy production as two primary goals. The

building was conceived to expose these systems topromote user awareness and understanding ofenergy use. This strategy allows for typically invisiblesustainable technology to serve as a teaching tool forusers and visitors.

The project contains three sources of renewableenergy:

1. Geo-thermal heat pumps extract heat and coolfrom the earth to warm or chill the radiant concreteslabs.

2. Rooftop photovoltaic cells convert solar energydirectly into electricity.

3. Stormwater retention in on-site cisterns is used forwater use in the building and on site
