Silverlake Housing Studies In Modern Housing Prototypes, author Roger Sherwood outlines thirty-two multi-family housing projects by typology. The row-house typology seemed appropriate for a mixed-use, medium density housing project sitting on prime real estate on Sunset Blvd. in Silverlake, CA. In a simple row-housing scheme all typical demands for light, privacy, air, and spaces of various sizes are present due to double orientation. Contemporary housing projects have challenged the limitations of typology to provide diverse unit types while adhering to Sherwoods basic principles of housing. Housing units may be subdivided into modules with prototypes laid out in Kazuyo Sejimas Metropolitain Housing Studies. These precedents provided a departure point for re-evaluation and modification of the row-house unit to provide more variety to accommodate the site and eclectic demographic. After a series of explorations, the introduction of switch back stairs in the interior of the unit provided half levels, varying ceiling heights, and distinct spaces. These spaces become kitchen, bed, bath, living and dining modules, which are defined by the width of the row-house with different volumes. The row-house party wall transforms as units exchange modules and interlock to create new unit types. Different arrangements of modules allow units to be arranged to turn corners to form a courtyard scheme, rather than a typical bar scheme in row-housing. Entrances to units face the courtyard and live-work units have an additional entrance on the street level, with storefronts lining the periphery and parking in the center. Each unit offers a variety of spatial arrangements and orientation with private yards to a variety of users.

Co-Lab Beijing is a city in conflict between preservation and modernization. Priorities are given to building modern commercial and residential high rises, and rebuilding historic monuments. In the meantime, hutongs, Chinese courtyard houses, and smaller relics are abandoned and demolished for the sake of urbanization. Within the second ring road, southeast of the forbidden city, is the site of an abandoned and decaying monument to General Xie in the remains of the Fayuan Temple Backstreet Hutong. The communal mixed-use housing project restores the hutong social fabric, establishes a research facility for historic preservation, and raises the standard of living for current residents. The monument will be restored and repurposed as a community center and a museum exhibit. The surrounding hutong is demolished for its lack of structural integrity and communal housing units are built around the monument. The housing is organized by groups of modules containing six housing units, a research laboratory, and a common living space shared

By consensus, the hutongs the generic substance of the Chinese city are most characteristic of Beijings past. The dilemma: building is less permanent in Asia and restoration often leads to a harsh reconstruction from zero that removes all traces of authenticity in favor of rigid, bloated rebuilding. In the name of preservation, the past is made unrecognizable.

Rem Koolhaas, Content

by approximately twelve people. As the act of historic preservation is ironically becoming prospective, the research program allows for students and professionals to actively record and catalogue the many undocumented relics and life of Beijings past and present. The project brings urban life back to the street level by maintaining the scale of meandering paths, and courtyards, which are non-existent in nearby modern high rises. To restore the tactile and textural quality of the hutongs, original bricks and tiles are recycled in the faade.

Impalcatura Casa Della Creativita is a space dedicated to the creativity of young adults and international students open to the public in the historic center of Florence. The building, Palazzo Giovane was once the cloister of the adjacent church Santa Maria Maggiore. Currently as Casa Della Creativita, the building holds offices, studios, classrooms, a computer lab, and bar. In spite of hosting numerous events and meetings, the facility is working against its program, due to its lack of visibility with its entrance at the end of an alley. Impalcatura (scaffolding/framework) provides a unique storefront and optimizes space for a more efficient performance. The structure is a steel system occupying and intersecting the courtyard and alleyvoid, and facilitating vertical circulation and access to the buildingsolid. This allows the service/ circulation to be exteriorized, freeing up more

space for the program in the existing building. The courtyard is brought down a half level for a library addition with an auditorium above. The entrance alley is a flexible gallery space with removable floor panels creating various spatial arrangements to promote exposure, leisure, and entry to the public. The emphasized planar form, the material, and modern structural grid act as a datum to the historical context, highlighting the juxtaposition of the user and environment.

Mercato di Novoli The northwest district of Florence, Novoli, has had missed opportunities and missteps in urban development, and is in need of revitalization. The primarily residential area is also the home of the Mercato Ortofrutticolo, a center for redistribution and wholesale of produce, meat, and fish in the Florence area. Mercato di Novoli reimagines the site as a new gastronomy center with a public market, restaurants, culinary school and library, auditorium, offices and a hotel to become a new commercial center. Recognizing that a European market thrives best under a free plan and pilotis, the ground floor is left open in a warehouse like space. This concept also ensures that all access to other program, involves direct interaction with the market level as other programs are raised to the heavier piano nobile. The formal process came from a series of operations beginning with creating an oval shaped piazza similar in scale with those in Renaissance city centers and placing it at the intersection of perceived paths from adjacent points of interest. Using the paths from surrounding points of interest as regulating lines, the form is subdivided, extruded, and manipulated in respect to orientation and program. Voids are subtracted from the original form to frame views to the landscape and allow for more light to the piazza center. The paths allow connections to proposed metro stations and development outlined by the citys planning department. Concentration of the built forms allow for the rest of the site to be used for agriculture, recreation, and possible future development.

place of rest in an event of a disaster where people can settle their mind. A place of dreams (P.O.D.). For the mind to be at ease, optimum comfort needed to be achieved. It was a matter of addressing all of the environmental conditions of the site and controlling the air temperature, air motion, radiation, and relative humidity. We decided devise a direct gain passive solar heating system where a thermal storage mass would capture heat through a large south facing window during the day from solar radiation which would be insulated to keep the space warm at night. This would effectively flatten the temperature swings and remain cool during the day and warm at night. By having a large thermal mass low on the walls and floor air is heated by the mass and rises then dropping back down creating convection currents present within our POD keeping interior temperatures stable. To keep the POD cool, cross ventilation would be needed so operable openings were designed as well as shading screens that would block out the summer sun.

With these predetermined strategies, we went to gather materials for the emergency shelter we kept in mind that in a real case of an emergency that materials should be things that are easy to find and can be recycled so we utilized reclaimed materials near the site. All of the wood was reclaimed from the storage unit behind the IDC, we gathered used water bottles as a thermal mass, and the insulation was left over from past models. All of these were factors in our design and many of the design decisions were based on the materials that we had. This was perfect in creating a low carbon footprint and reduced the list of expenses to a few items. The expenses we did make were things that might be available in a disaster for example instead of an acrylic or glass window we used painters plastic and the thermal mass on the floor would be an emergency raft or in our case an air mattress filled with water. Painters plastic was chosen because it diffused the light throughout the POD so more thermal mass or water bottles on the walls could receive radiant light. These materials affected our design and that was our starting point for construction. Knowing the materials we were working with, the shape and dimensions were chosen so that a one or more people may sit, stand, and lay. Then we selected a site ideal for our direct gain POD, the south-east corner of the faculty offices near the horse stables and pastures. Being surrounded by low to no buildings on the east, south and west, we were able to stay clear of any shadow coverage in order receive optimum sunlight exposure throughout the day. The placement

of the glazing was an obvious choice where we would have a large window to the south and east to let in light in the morning and throughout the day. The orientation and location allowed our shelter to receive the coastal and east- west winds which would come in through the door and out through an operable opening in the roof or vice versa. Not to mention the site had beautiful views to the horses, green meadows, and orange groves out in the distance. The process of construction started with grading the site and building the framing for the floor and floor joists. Most of the wood members we found were 2 x 6s and so our walls are 6 inches thick and we used standard conventions of tilt up wood frame construction with a header, footer, studs, and blocking sheathed with inch plywood. Once the framing was up we used the 3 mil painters plastic for the windows which we double paned with a inch air space. We added rigid blue foam insulation in the floor, ceiling, walls, and doors. For the walls we inserted a 1 inch layer of insulation a inch air space, a layer of aluminum foil and then another panel of insulation. The panels where the water bottles were place in front the aluminum foil was placed on the interior face so that any sun light would be reflected back to the water to maximize radiant heat gain. We designed removable shade screens to be placed in front of the south facing window which were sized and planned to shade from May to October from 10 am to 6 pm in the year.

Data Analysis Sunday, February 28th 7:00 am Monday, March 1st 5:00 am: Upon looking at the temperatures and data gather in our tests our shelter was successful in staying in the comfort zone for a third of the cold winter day. Although we didnt stay within the comfort zone, when comparing the popular mean vote of the outside temperature to that inside the POD, it was always more comfortable inside the POD. When looking at the u-values of the walls it is clear that the walls with the most barriers have the highest insulation values where as the double paned painters plastic had a very poor insulation allowing for conduction losses. Most of the heat escaped through the glazing and by infiltration losses in the gaps from the door, the operable roof, and in between the framing members. The points plotted on the psychometric chart show that in order to bring values to the comfort zone we need to apply have more internal gains as well as passive solar heating and to implement active solar and conventional heating. All of these strategies we used in our POD except for the absence of internal gains which would probably contributed greatly to the thermal comfort of our shelter. To improve the level of comfort more insulation would have been needed, cracks would be sealed tightly, thicker and less glazing, and more thermal mass would have improved the direct gain system.

The master plan is separated into three different phases to assure economic stability and a smooth transition during construction. The first phase includes half of the promenade, part of the green belt, a parking structure with retail on ground level, mixed use buildings which contain housing, offices and retail, and also the construction of the SGTC as the new icon for Sebastopol. The second phase will be the construction of a hotel and parking to support the STGC, retail, housing, live/work, and also the finishing loop of the promenade strip. The third phase will include a community of residential buildings, and the completion of the green belt to connect the surrounding parks of Sebastopol.

Planning for the influx of traffic in and out of the city, the SGTC provides for more sustainable alternatives to car travel. With an alternative light rail line through Sebastopol, much needed connections are made to the existing Sonoma and Marin Area Rail Transit such as stops to the Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport, and Sonoma State University in Rohnert Park. The new transit will bring more people to Sebastopol as well as provide locals with a direct connection to the surrounding area.

Apples are clearly a part of Sebastopol, with the city being home to both the Apple Blossom Festival and the Gravenstein Apple Fair as well as many orchards nearby. To reconnect and to revitalize the new Sebastopol with the old, apple trees will be planted throughout the city. Based on a 20 x 20 orchard grid aligned to main street, six different apple trees will be planted as way-finders and a device to educate and connect the community and visitors with the seasons of the apple. Apples are organized on the site by apple color and were chosen to provide variety in taste, color, tree size, and harvest period.

Sebastopol prides itself for its awareness of its environmental impact. To continue with the same care, the proposed development will include separated bike paths, pedestrian only streets, and a light rail to provide for lower impact transportation. All paving will be permeable to allow for water retention in the soil as well as a series of pools and bio-swales which lead to a cistern for water reclaiming. The SGTC also has an operable glass atrium which allows for cross ventilation in the summer and heat retention in the winter lowering energy usage of the building.

The city of Sebastopol, once well know for its apple growing, must replant the apple as its symbol of commerce, nature, and culture. Sebastopols future must retain its charming character and past. The aim is to revitalize the city of Sebastopol by reinvigorating its rich history in agriculture, and gastronomy as well as supporting its progressive community and distinctive culture with new infrastructure and connections. The historic main street will remain intact and simply expanded with a commercial promenade loop to promote and foster Sebastopols small businesses and local flavor. A green belt connecting to Sebastopols Skategarden Park, Ives Park, Joe Rodota Trail, and Laguna Wetlands Preserve keeps the city connected to its agricultural, P recreational, and natural settings. The Sebastopol Gastronomy and Transportation Center will sit at the intersection of commercial and natural as a flagship building M to inform and spur the development of a new city center.

One of the main focuses of the SGTC is the citys involvement with gastronomy, the slow food movement, and Cittaslow all of which promote quality, local food. To promote these ideas the SGTC will include a farmers market/stage, restaurants, a winery, art gallery, a viewing terrace and a culinary school.

Apples are clearly a part of Sebastopol, with the city being home to both the Apple Blossom Festival and the Gravenstein Apple Fair as well as many orchards nearby. To reconnect and to revitalize the new Sebastopol with the old, apple trees will be planted throughout the city. Based on a 20 x 20 orchard grid aligned to main street, six different apple trees will be planted as way-finders and a device to educate and connect the community and visitors with the seasons of the apple. Apples are organized on the site by apple color and were chosen to provide variety in taste, color, tree size, and harvest period.

Cornfield Mixed-Use Housing Current housing models correspond to certain social groups, creating distance and segregation. The problem: people follow housing rather than housing following people. Cornfield Mixed-Use Housing Development aims to attract and accommodate different users by offering units ranging from 700 to 4,000 square feet with a variety of arrangements. The development of housing units began with compositing Kazuyo Sejimas Metropolitain Housing Studies and resulting Tetris project in Gifu, with Le Corbusiers seminal Unit. The result ensures flexibility, double orientation, efficiency, and economy with the option for double height and outdoor terraces for every unit. Bedroom, kitchen, living, and dining room modules are defined by the number of bays, which subdivide the 42 foot deep slab. Within this system several permutations may be combined to make a unit with the ability to add and subtract space if necessary. The site is directly between the edge of LA River, and Historic State Park, with views of Downtown in the distance. Echoing visions outlined in The Los Angeles River Revitalization Master Plan, paths and spaces on

the site aim to connect and extend the LA River and park and restore the natural ecology. In addition, the supporting community arts center explores spaces defined by the meandering form and datum lines established by the ground and river. The mixing, and juxtaposition of program, encourages interaction between residents and the general public, while maintaining privacy and security. Shared public spaces, amenities, and visual connections promote a sense of openness and community to help create a socially rich and diverse environment.
