INTRODUCTION This is the Process Book of the Studio IV, Urban Context Project. It is based on the city of Apt, at the Provence, and our site is the urban square “Place Jean Juares�. The square sits on top of old Roman walls that once served as part of an ancient roman plaza, not existent anymore. The Project consists on the integration of these ruins with our designed programs and buildings, by building on just one half of the square and activating the other half for the use of the community.

SITE ANALYSIS

GROUP SITE ANALYSIS PROCESSBOOK As a collaboration , the entire group of Studio IV assembles a Site Analysis Processbook that contains information on Apt's city form, natural environment and physical and social environment.

PROJECT PROGRAM

THE PROGRAM

A PROVENCIAL CUILINAIRE SCHOOL The challenge is to design a mixed-used building, a culinary school with its own restaurant and cafĂŠ, in an historical urban setting. The project is proposed to be sited in Apt du Jules in the region of Provence at the South of France. The form and function of the space is designed with reference to local Provencal cuisine, at the same time responding to the historical context ofthe histical center of Apt.

PROJECT PROGRAM

THE PROGRAM GOALS A place to understand and relate to nature A place for social and cultural exchange Spontaneous social interaction Revitalization of community A public Forum SIMPLE not overdesigned A suburban retreat

STA RT E G I E S Image and identity > a garden to make it memorable Attractions and destination > variety of spaces Amenities > amenities to make it comfortable for people to use / benches + lighting + public art Walkability > provide a variety of routs to navigate the space Flexible Design > Allow for the place to change during the course of the day Access > easy to get through / accessible by foot Good visual access > safety Inner square and outer square > an active and welcoming outer square to give life to the inner square GREEN Areas > Agriculture is an important part of the economy if the Luberon.

Plants > lavender, olives, grapes, provencial herbs.

Reach out like an octopus > visible elements from a distance + ground floor activity + promote curiosity Partnership with the culinary school > to supplement what the city can provide A source of food > cafĂŠ, street market and garden.

PROJECT PROGRAM

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

GEOMETRY FROM CITY GRID CIRCULATION DENSITY

SITE DIAGRAMS This diagrams aim to investigate and clarify by graphically showing how the site is divided by spaces. Separating the area where the ruins are at, the green spaces (where trees are) and how poeple interact wuth the site by circuating it; withing it's urban context which is mostly residences and the deometry drawn by adjacent streets and alleys. The result of this studies were the determination of a tentative are to start placing solids within the site. This is shown in the diagram at the center.

SITE GEOMETRY

DIAGRAMS This diagrams show the possible forms of the projects building shape by following the geometry of the site and moving around of the diffrent intended masses.

The building will be composed of three main parts 1 The Cuiliniare Art School 2 An Aromatique Herbs Graden 3 Street Cafe and Rooftop Lounge

The intention is to not have an intrusive building and use half the place to loacte a building that engages with the existing Roman Ruins and also allows for pedestrians to use the place and stay egaged with what the spaces will have to offer.

GESTURE MODEL

MASSING MODEL

GROUND LEVEL MODEL

The gesture model represents how the building aims not to be intrusive to the neighborhood and keep a simple facade, that within it's possible simple but harmonious walls will have an intricate building tha connects all levels and abailable spaces for students and locals to interact.

The massing model shows where in the place will the buildings be and how much space will each building take in height and depth of the place.

The Ground Level Model aims to show how the levels of the building will be arranged and how will these play an important part of the design when engageing the public and private parts of the design.

FINAL PROJECT

BUILDING FLOORPL ANS The building design for The Cuilinaire Art School is composed of 5 different floors that hover on top of the Ruins and the Garden, all contained within a detailed facade that gathers its forms and deliniation from the surrounding buildings in its context.

FINAL PROJECT

E G R E SS A N D A DA C I R C U L AT I O N The Cuilinary Arts School is designed to have a comfortable circulation and easy acces to all its spaces. A series of fire resistant stairs run from the ground level up to the 3rd floor.

Additionaly and elevator connect the garden with the school and another elecator at the top connects the rooftop with the rest of the building.

In case of fire, the stairs have a refuge area with a 4 hour reistance quality. The optimal meeting point in this case would be the open area of the Place which is just 3 minutes away from the uppermost floor of the building.

ADA circulation is free and spacious enough for people with disabilities to move arround and access all the available spaces of the building.

FINAL PROJECT

SITE PL AN LONGITUDINAL SECTION The Longitudinal Section cuts the building in half from the longest part of the site. It captures what spaces make up the building and how it interacts hovering on top of the ruins and the designed garden. It also allows for a better understanding of the scale between the building, the ruins, the garden and the open spaces of the Place.

DAILIES

According to the history of Lacoste, women made the roof tiles with their legs as a formwork to shape them. Out of necessity and when men were away, this protected them from the climate.

This is a special representation of how women shaped the architecture and how architecture became human as much as the human became architecture.

"In architecture, a convention cannot exist or have any durable varuiable unless the apparience and the function of the building has an evident relation of truth" The arena in Arles is to me that, a convention that exists and it's known as one due to it's apperience that characterizes an arena, relevant to the truth of it's purpose and architectural design.

In architecture, a convention cannot exist or have any durable variable unless the apparience and the function of the building has an evident relation of truth?

ARCHITECTURE & CONVENTION

HUMAN < > ARCHITECTURE DAILY 3

DAILY 4 "Classical architecture is not political. It is not a partisan becuase it is the expression and privileged instrument of the polis, of the PUBLIC REALM..."

This representation of the pedestrian and vehivular grid determined by the street around the Maison Carre in Nimes is in complete harmony to allow people to be part and use architecture as part of both the city and the people on the city.

Architecture in Lacoste tells as story. Medieval streets show the prescence of prevouis structures that once occupied spaces less expected. In this drawing an arch from a previous strcuture can be seen as s ymbol of prescence of the past, where once was a building and now is just a trace of what once was there.

DAILY ASSIGNMENT

The masterplan of a city can directly influence the life of the poeple that live on it. It is an instrument necessary to maintain the harmony of the city as a whole and it holds the power to influence the construction of the life of a nation with its design. For example Amsterdam and its canals.

All classical buildings are mostly an aggrandment of vernacular models and means. Most of them are built from the raw materials used for vernacular architecture, only that are now refined to fit classical architectural standrs visible in architectural elemenst.

Along the years the lansdcape we see today has been tranformed several times whetehr by human interruption or by nature itself. However, only a few poeple notice these transformations that human settlements undergo through time. It is a thousand years of morphological history.
