DORMS @ IIT STATION
CHICAGO, IL
INTEGRATION 3 WAYS
INTEGRATION OF CHICAGO SKYLINE ON FACADE AND VISUAL CONNECTIONS ACROSS PROGRAMS, ALLOWING FOR USERS TO CONNECT MORE TO THEIR SURROUNDINGS
INTEGRATION OF MIES’S USE OF NATURE IN HARMONY WITH HIS BUILDINGS ON CAMPUS. THE SOUND OF WATER FLOWS FROM ONE END OF THE SITE TO THE OTHER. THE CENTRAL ATRIUM SPACE IS ALSO A GREENHOUSE FOR USERS TO ESCAPE THE CITYSCAPE. IT ALSO FUNCTIONS AS A COMMUNITY GARDEN. THE ENTRY HILLS PROVIDE A THIRD SPACE ON SITE, AN AREA TO CONGREGATE WITHOUT PURPOSE, JUST TO BE.
INTEGRATION OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY AND CAMPUS COMMUNITY TO FORM A NEW SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP. LOCALS BRING NEW SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND REVENUE TO THE SCHOOL//CAMPUS PROVIDES AN ALTERNATIVE TO DOWNTOWN THAT’S SAFE, ENGAGING, AND FRESH.
IIT LACKS A VIBRANT CAMPUS LIFE AND SENSE OF COMMUNITY. WITH VIBRANT DOWNTOWN CHICAGO A FEW TRAIN STOPS AWAY, STUDENTS AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY FLOCK TO THE DOWNTOWN AREA FOR THEIR ENTERTAINMENT AND SOCIAL NEEDS.
PROBLEM SOLUTION
THIS PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL COLLEGE IS GEARED TOWARDS INCOMING STUDENTS AND FACULTY. INTEGRATION STATION AIMS TO BRING A BIT OF THE CITY TO CAMPUS. THE BOTTOM AND BASEMENT LEVELS ACT AS A MICROCITY, EQUIPT WITH A TRENDY CAFE, NAIL AND HAIR SALON, PACKAGE CENTER, DAY CARE, A MUSIC LOUNGE, CHAPEL, LIBRARY, AND CINEMA.

HYPERBOLIC PARABALOID STRUCTURES
THIS MODEL TAKES ONE SIDE OF THE CHURCH’S HYPAR CURVES AND HIGHLIGHTS THE SIMPLE, RIGID STRUCTURE AGAINST THE SEEMINGLY COMPLEX AND SMOOTH GEOMETRY. THE STRUCTURE WAS 3D PRINTED, OVERLAID ONTOP IS A LAYER OF CLAY THAT RESEMBLES THE CONCRETE FINISH. BENEATH LIES A PLAN OF THE STRUCTURE, HIGHLIGHTING THE FACT THAT THE HYPAR IS COMPOSED OF STRAIGHT LINES.
FELIX CANDELA: OUR LADY OF THE
THIS STRUCTURE CONSISTS OF MANY CURVED PEAKS. THE TYPE OF CURVE USED IS A HYPERBOLIC PARABALOID, HYPAR FOR SHORT. WHAT MAKES THIS TYPE OF CURVE SO IMPRESSIVE IS THAT IT CONSISTS ENTIRELY OF STRAIGHT LINES. THIS ASPECT OF THE DESIGN MAKES FOR A VERY EFFICIENT CONSTRUCTION OF SUCH A SEEMINGLY COMPLEX GEOMETRY. THE REBAR IN THE CONCRETE TAKES THE SHAPE OF THE STRAIGHT LINES, THEREFORE GREATLY REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF REBAR NEEDED TO PRODUCE ANY OTHER KIND OF CURVED SURFACE, RENDERING A LIGHTWIEGHT, COST EFFECTIVE, STRUCTURALLY SOUND, AND BEAUTIFUL CONSTRUCTION.

FLOOD WALL
PROJECT BRIEF
LOCATED ALONG THE BANK OF THE CAMPUS REFLECTION POND, THIS PROJECT AIMS TO MITIGATE FLOODING ON CAMPUS. TWO AREAS ALONG THE BANK WERE NOTICABLY LOWER THAN THE REST, ALLOWING WATER TO CREEP ONTO THE WALKWAYS MORE EASILY THAN OTHER PARTS OF THE BANK, ESPECIALLY DURING HURRICANE SEASON WITH HEAVIER RAIN FALL.
THE INTERVENTION CONSISTS OF MULTIPLE CONCRETE PILES INSTALLED ALONG THE EDGE BETWEEN THE WALKWAY AND THE WATER. THE ATTRACTOR POINTS, LOCATED AT THE TWO LOWEST POINTS OF THE TOPOGRAPHY, ACT LIKE SENSORS TO THE WATER LEVEL. BASED ON THE WATER LEVEL, THE ATTRACTOR POINTS CAN MOVE THE PILES ACCORDINGLY SO THAT THE WATER STAYS OFF THE WALKWAY. THE IRREGULAR FACE OF EACH PILE HELPS TO DIFFUSE WAVE ENERGY, THEREFORE LESSENING THE FORCE OF THE WATER ON THE STRUCTURE.
THIS INTERVENTION SERVES AS AN EXPLORATION INTO ANOTHER POTENTIAL SOLUTION FOR FLOOD MITIGTAION, FLOOD/SEA WALLS THAT ARE PARAMETRIC.
