Located within Chapman University, the Sandi Simon center for dance transcends the boundaries of a typical building. Originally an Orange-packing factory, this adaptive re-use project seamlessly blends history and innovation. The exterior stands as a testament to the past, its original identity preserved. Stepping inside, however, the ground opens up. The original floor has been sliced, creating dynamic new spaces connected by a fluid circulation system. The structure hints at its old language, aided by contemporary elements that keep the building standing. The building’s centerpiece is the performance area. organic in shape, it embraces dancers with the warmth of wood, standing in stark contrast to the surrounding white canvas. This deliberate design choice is more than just aesthetics; it’s a symbolic stage, where tradition meets the bold strokes of artistic expression.

Drawing inspiration from the fluidity of circulation within and around the site while prioritizing accessibility for all, the concept unfolds as an architectural testament to inclusivity. Divided into three distinct volumes oriented towards recreational zones, the design carves out visually striking entrances intended to be inherently welcoming, especially to those who are deaf or hard of hearing. By harmonizing form and function, the spaces transcend mere physical structures, embracing a narrative of connectivity and belonging. Each entrance becomes a gateway to a realm where barriers dissolve, fostering a vibrant exchange of ideas and experiences, enriching the fabric of the community it

Professor: Cadence Bayley Paulett Taggart Architects
This existing site is located in Bayview-Hunters Point which was a 267-unit public housing development constructed as temporary workforce housing in 1956. This original site faced challenges such as deteriorating buildings, steep terrain, a street grid that cut the neighborhood off from the rest of the city, undefined open space, and no resident service. It was known to be isolated and dangerous, crime ridden public housing. Design integrations included connected streets, buildings with frequent steps that step up with hills (reflect scale, rhythm, and texture of SF) , integrated stormwater management, renewable energy, and healthy resources. The apartment buildings are designed to look like individual houses, each with private or shared entry stoops
