LATTC ATM EXTENSION

This project is an exploration of discovering a built environment for car culture. LATTC ATM Extension is a hub for car activities, giving a place to learn how to service vehicles and a place for the car community.

Separation of circulation was the main focus that went through multiple iterations to find the best solution. The final iteration focuses on the implementation of circulation cores creates the rhythm of the project. The cores pierce through the building mending the rest of the program around it. rogram

The use of color in the drawings gives a clear, visual representation of the separation of user groups; yellow for pedestrians and purple for vehicles. These two colors illustrate how the project intertwines these two users together.

The variety of materials used in the model allowed for the visual distinction of the program usage. The concrete represents the core element of the project, the circulation cores, and the acrylic floorplates and wooden pieces represents how the rest of the project folds around the concrete cores.

Setsusan is located on a waste reclamation center floating in the bay of Tokyo, Japan called Central Breakwater. This facility is an artificial island created using a mixure of waste and soil. All the waste in Tokyo’s district is sent to this island to be processed for reuse or repurposing.

Setsusan as a theme park brings the public to visit the place where their trash ends up in an effort to expose, educate, and motivate visitors to be more concious of the waste they produce.

DISCOVERY / SORTING

CENTRAL TALCNTTRA CEN BREAKWATER AKKWAWATTER WA R R BRREA

Working in a group of four, Central Breakwater was divided into four parcels. Each parcel have their own story to tell visitors and act in succession with one another. Visitors start with their arrival that gives an overview of Setsusan. They then move onto learning how their waste is processed. Next, visitors encounter a visual reminder that land is finite and their waste must go somewhere. Finally, their journey ends with an interactive activities that allows visitors to repurpose waste.
