The Earth and Water research and educational center is linked with Jack London Square through a series of urban wetlands, which allow for a controlled way of flooding when sea level rises over the years. As well, these serve for a research opportunity for the building, been able to interact and study firsthand the climate change impact in Oakland. The pedestrian-only zones of Jack London Square are expanded until the building, creating a pleasant space for residents and visitors to be around the wetlands.

The building touches with the ground at five different areas through ramps. These connect the city streets with the interior of the building, which has an open entrance for the public. One of the ramps is transformed into a public roof garden through a smooth transition from street to roof.
The building is divided by two wings, the water one overlooks the wetlands and the estuary at the end. The earth wing is visually connected to the Oakalnd hills and downtown. The closer tot he center of the building, the most private the area is.
The center of the building is an interior courtyard-style terrace that overlooks the freeway underneath without obstructing the flow of cars.

CIRCULATION STRUCTURE FLOOR PLATE ENCLOSURE
The building itself is a mass timber construction composed by several elements that form the structure. A series of four long wooden beams are tied at the two ends, pinned and under compression. The compression allows the beams to be bent, forming a bridge-type of structure that connects both sides of the freeway and create a long spam, forming the space that would be inhabitable.

Connecting the four long wooden beams, two sets of Glulam beams touch each one at one end, and transforming into a column that touches the floor plate. This system avoids the long beams to pivot, rotate or separate from one another.

COMMUNITY PERFORMANCE CENTER

SOMA COMMUNITY PERFORMANCE CENTER 13
The project site is located in this area’s important cross of the education program. And the students didn’t have abundant space to do after-school activities. Thus, our design focuses on the kids’ and teenagers’ performance theater to provide a community center for them to learn, rest, and play.
As it’s a public project, the design strategy is to attract people outside and let the building have more interaction with the context. The diagonal entrance is the solution that breaks the site, links the transportation, and creates a straightforward path for the visitors. We used the translucent polycarbonate material as the facade and place the circulation as the first layer around the facade so we could see people moving around the building.

COMMUNITY BOATHOUSE 23 GROUND LEVEL UNDERGROUND LEVEL SECOND LEVEL
Water is the medium that links rowers, boats, cities, etc. It also has its own behavior, affecting the strength the rower has to use when in the ocean, or the weathering on the rowing shells determining their life. Water can also be the cause why some people refrain from trying certain sports, since it can sometimes be scary and uninviting.
The architecture presented in this project embraces water in different ways. By the incorporation of programs such as a public lap/therapy pool, people of the community that are not comfortable with the ocean can have the opportunity of getting used to the water in a safer environment. Water collection is as well an important aspect of the design. The site is slopped, having the boat plaza (area where boats are rinsed off) at its highest points. This allows waste water to be drawn to a series of narrow canals that are distributed around the site, to later use this water as a mode of irrigation to the adjacent park. Sloping and curving the roofs of the buildings allow rain water to also be captured, which is then either brought down to the ground-level canals or penetrated inside the buildings. The rain water at this point flows from the ceiling to the ground, freely making its way through gravity to a soil area, where plants and vines start to grow.
