>> introduction The Lauderhill Transit Facility was conceived from the need to serve more than seven thousand Broward County Transit bus passengers per day, while serving as a facility for BCT drivers.

As additional urban design feature, the LTC acts as a sheltered, inviting pedestrian, cyclist and public transit connection between the mall and the street.

>> design intent The LTC’s architectural design mission is to highlight the role of Broward County Transit in the sustainable and efficient development and growth of the county, while efficiently serving its main function for the community and BCT staff alike. The framework of this mission should be a signature, statement facility concieved through contemporary, accessible, inviting and sustainable design. This basis of design document for the Lauderhill Transit Center seeks to establish a consistent visual and tactile language to be carried out in pursuit of a consistent, sustainable, safe, functional, contemporary and aesthetically pleasing sustainable final product.

All materials, techniques and finishes in the project should seek compliance with guidelines of sustainability equal or substantially similar to those of the US Green Building Council LEED system regardless of whether official LEED certification is pursued, as well as being compliant with all pertinent codes and regulations.

The architecture of the LTC calls for utilizing standardized building elements for its main architectural feature which, in addition to basics sheltering from natural elements, will maximize daylight, collect rainwater (Lauderhill was rated #9 on the list of Top 101 cities with the highest average yearly precipitation according to city-data.com) and harvest the abundant Florida sunlight for electricity generation. In accordance to the main aim of the City of Lauderhill’s architectural codes, the facility creates an individual, recognizable architectural identity for the city.

PROJECT

2

The main architectural feature of the Lauderhill Transit Facility addresses its context by enhancing upon the predominantly Afro-caribbean cultural setting, avoiding imperatively the mimicking of surrounding architectural features.

3 >> site character

On of the most expressive and recognized features of the afrocaribbean heritage is One the car carnival dance and attires. The design of the facility’s passenger platform canopy an and columns interprets the beauty of the attire and of the motion of dance expressively as a graceful architectural gesture. This allows the design to enhance its context and encou encourage an interpretative, rather than a literal architecture.

example: installation at Crystal River Mall, FL

The following statistical data about the city of Lauderhill has been elemental in driving decisions regarding the design and assessing population’s needs.

3 >> site character The city of Lauderhill’s General Design Standards are prescriptive in architectural design and detailing. However, the design of the Lauderhil Transit Center is to ensure a distinct architectural identity, proposing a firm and unequivocal statement that architectural features can be defined by pressing issues of sustainability (rainwater and runoff, in our case), with the purpose of clearly displaying them to the public given the public service nature of the facility.

The following are some elemental points from the guidelines: - “(...) all design shall aim toward fulfilling the following basic goals: • Encourage appropriate building massing where scale, function and light requirements are well respected. • Provide appropriate transitions between pedestrian and vehicular zones in order to ensure safety and mobility. • Minimize negative environmental impacts such as air, light and noise pollution, excessive surface drainage, etc. through appropriate and effective landscape design. • Provide efficient systems of circulation which are compliant with existing development codes and parking standards. • Create a strong and viable community environment where outdoor activities and positive interaction between neighborhoods is enhanced through effective design.”

-”Any new development, redevelopment, substantial improvements or service station re-branding shall contribute positively to existing neighborhoods and communities.”

-”When considering connectivity to adjacent areas, it is required that existing street patterns and sidewalks extend to connect to existing circulation patterns. This measure is to ensure a continuous and cohesive circulation system throughout the City. It is also important to link new development to established, existing areas in order to encourage internal circulation by pedestrians, bicycles and motorized vehicles. Such measures guarantee that proposed development does not occur against the grain of the existing fabric, but is instead conducive to it.”

-”Site design shall aim toward conforming to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Standards as much as possible.(...) The following are the primary mandates of the LEED System:• Reducing urban sprawl • Encouraging healthy living • Protecting threatened species • Increasing transportation choices and decreasing automobile dependence • Creating sustainable sites • Enhancing water efficiency • Optimizing energy performance • Recycling materials • Creating innovative design solutions (...) These objectives are accompanied by a detailed checklist that includes parameters such as bicycle networks, restoration of habitat, diversity of uses, walkable streets, percentage water-use reduction, storm water design, construction waste management, daylight and views, etc. All design shall be assessed against such criteria and attempts shall be made to adhere closely to the list and to avoid shortfalls.”

-” Buildings should relate to the streets in a manner that enhances and strengthens pedestrian activity. Street-level architectural development should be scaled to the pedestrian and should be attractive and inviting.”

-”All building elevations are required to have at least three (3) different material applications for visual interest.”

-” Innovative, energy saving, high quality building materials are encouraged. Materials should vary in texture and type to accent windows, entrances and corners. Contrasting materials are encouraged and should create interest...”

-”Canopies should in no way interfere with street light fixtures or with the growth and maintenance of street trees, signature trees and landscape materials.”

-”Canopies should be unobtrusive and should maintain architectural integrity.”

-”Continuous architectural arcades and canopies should reflect the design integrity of the structure.”

-”Roof overhangs must provide continuous cover from sun and rain and be pedestrian friendly. A covered walkway eight (8) foot deep is ideal for the pedestrian circulation. Deeper overhangs are within the tropical vernacular; in most cases thirty (30) inches minimum roof overhang is required.”

-”Corner structures play an important role in creating identity within a block and may become significant landmarks. These structures should be emphasized by prominent entrances or small plazas and gathering spaces along their frontages. Creating clearly delineated street corners will add to the overall unique character of Lauderhill.”

-”Walls for screening should not be obtrusive and their heights and proximity to the use area should not be imposing.”

-”Plazas are integral to the success of a retail, office or residential development due to their ability to provide opportunities for public congregation, interaction and recreation. They also allow for integration between architecture and landscape by incorporating hardscape, structural and decorative elements. Large expanses of building blocks and parking lots should be interrupted by open space plazas for pedestrian comfort and refuge. (...) • Any new development intended to support pedestrian activity should include plaza space.• Plazas should abut public areas and be physically and visually accessible from the public sidewalks. Security fences, walls, and entry gates should not block the sidewalk edge of the plaza or views into the plaza.• Plazas should be accessible to the public during business hours.• Entries to the plaza, business and storefronts within the plaza shall be designed and lighted so they are safe and visible to plaza guest, avoiding hiding places.• Plazas shall provide at least one (1) sitting place for each one hundred (100) square feet of plaza in addition to any permitted outdoor dining provided.• Plazas should have adequate mix of sun versus shaded area. No more than forty (40) percent of the plaza shall be covered with a roof.• At least twenty (20) percent of the plaza's surface shall be landscaped to provide heat relief.

-”Public art reflects the attitude and character of the community towards culture. Establishing public art throughout the City of Lauderhill will help to create space and identity, as well as, to celebrate the eclectic community of residents(...) All art pieces (...) should be durable and free of sharp or obtrusive objects.”

-” Paving materials at streetscape intersections and sidewalks should reflect the intensity of pedestrian traffic and create identifiable ground plane links throughout the City(...) The use of open grid pavement systems, such as unit pavers, is strongly encouraged for any pedestrian hardscape area in order to decrease storm water runoff.”

-“Proposed development must provide a minimum of two (2) bike racks (four (4) feet to six (6) feet length) (...) Bike racks should be located at various locations throughout the City to provide safe and convenient temporary storage. Bike racks should be covered to protect bicycles and riders from inclement weather.”

-Bus stop standards: "The strongest single characteristic is the roof, its pitch, material and color. Utilization of a deep overhang and generous roof slope assists in protecting the user and representing the desired image (...) The finishes shall be coatings that remain cool to the touch (...) The stop's side enclosure panels shall be translucent in character and attached in such detail as to allow air circulation within the sheltered area (...) Efforts should be made to retain storm water on site as far as possible to reduce run off. Rainwater harvesting should also be

encouraged through the collection of water from roofs with large cisterns or rain barrels which can be subsequently used for irrigation. Wastewater shall be reused as much as possible for landscape irrigation."

-"The signage and graphics system should be simple and coordinated and contribute towards enhancing the identity of Lauderhill."

-”Due to the strength and intensity of the South Florida sun, all banners fabrics should be made from marine canvas or vinyl fabrics or both. These types of fabrics can withstand prolonged exposure to the sun and allow air movement through the banner."

-"Pedestrian lighting within the City of Lauderhill must serve a variety of functions. Not only must the lighting establish a safe and secure atmosphere for nighttime use, it must also provide a distinct ambience, differentiating pedestrian facilities from adjacent vehicular zones."

The Lauderhill Transit Center's center building block houses ticketing, driver lounge and public bathrooms, and the administrative office. Further west, at the south passenger platform, the public bathroom and storage spaces building block is flanked by bicycle racks and planters. The security office is in the middle of these two volumes, with transparency as main envelope, for visibility maximization purposes. The south platform contains 7 bus bays. The north passenger platform contains the bus bays at the north side, so that ease of circulation is maintained at the south side of this platform.

>> 6 roof plan

The roof, a functional and bold architectural feature, allows ample area for purposes of solar harvesting via photovoltaic panels, as well as rainwater harvesting for reutilization on the facility’s restrooms and landscape irrigation, both essential sustainable methods to the county’s commitment to sustainability and self-sustenance. These are the precepts for a much-needed facility which will serve as pedestrian connection between the street and the mall, and more widely as a nodal urban connection integrating a more connected and sustainable urban fabric. rainwater collecting “inverted umbrella” type tensile fabric canopies 1 rainwater diverting “umbrella” type tensile fabric canopies 2 tensile fabric canopy extension for pedestrian crossing 3 photovoltaic landmark canopy for sheltering between mall and facility 4

>> 10 sustainable nature of the LTC facility 10.1 wind impact

The building was modeled in building environment and context analysis software, allowing the design process to be informed by the particular climatic conditions of its site. Main environmental factors of precipitation and regional solar impact guided the design of the roof, the main architectural feature of the facility. Sustainability and aesthetic principles guided the selection of photovoltaic panels, surface colors, plumbing fixtures, etc.

This section will cover : -Wind impact: IInforming of design by prevalent breeze charts and software modeling during the two main climatic seasons.

-Rainwater collection: R i ll i Information yielded by annual precipitation indexes informed the amount of rainwater harvested -Solar power harvesting: Information yielded by online resources informed the he amount of energy savings with the use of photovoltaic panels -Shading: building environment and context analysis software demonstrates the amount mount of shade achieved to provide shelter for users.

-Solar impact: Building environment and context analysis software portrays the levels of solar radiation gained by exposed building surfaces, informing the design process -Surface color selection: Selected colors based on the principle of solar energy absorption and reflection -Photovoltaic panels: Design intent of PV panel selection, desired aesthetics

The LTC’s distinctive main architectural feature stems from the intent to recover the abundant South Florida rainwater for irrigation and other allowed uses, reducing demand from typical sources and reducing run-off which carries pollutants onto drainage systems. Each prefabricated tensile translucent canvas roof unit conducts the water into a rainwater leader inside the structural column of each unit.

>> 10 sustainable nature of the LTC facility 10.2 rainwater collection and reutilization Square feet of the collection area (A) is the area from which rainwater will be collected.* Multiply that number by the average rainfall in inches per year for the specific geographic location (B).

A x B = C. Divide the multiplied numbers (C) by 12, which represents inches per foot. This will determine the cubic feet of water per year which can be collected (D).

Preferred location for cisterns, tanks and plumbing systems is underground. If ground systems are selected, these should be placed at the north-east landscaped area of the project, and should be protected and concealed from sight and public access.

Convert the cubic feet of water (D) to gallons. Multiply total by 7.43 to convert to gallons per year (gpy).

The perimeter vegetation buffer, discussed further in this document, should call for trees lower than the canopies’ top height, to minimize natural debris falling on the canopies, and the specifications and detailing should call for high-quality drainage and debris-filtering ng systems.

*Area in this case refers only to the two-dimensional area length x width of the fabric contributing to the rainwater collection function, not the total area of fabric in the structure." or volume of collection area

Each Birdair ST70 23'7" x 23'7" canopy would collect approximately: A=552f B=66.5" C=36,708 D=36,708/12 = 3,059 x 7.43 = 22,728 gpy (19,319 AT 85% EFFICIENCY) 18 Birdair ST70 canopies = 347,742 TO 409,104 gpy Each Birdair ST90 30'6" x 30'6 canopy would collect approximately: A=794sf B=66.5 C=52801 D=52801/12 = 4400 x7.43 = 32,692 gpy (AT 100% EFFICIENCY, 27,826 AT 85% EFFICIENCY) 7 Birdair ST90 canopies = 194,782 TO 228,844 gpy total system yield 542,524 TO 637,948 gpy

The panel array should form a canopy between the south and north passenger platforms, therefore doubling as rain protection for users.

To Maximize Power 1. Elevate panels above a surface as much as possible.

2. Place panels over light-colored surfaces.

3. Do not allow support rails to shade the panel’s back face.

To comply with to the city of Lauderhill architectural guidelines, which call for seeking a distinct architectural identity, pastel colors typical of buildings in the region shall be avoided in this project, and lively color accents should be carefully and harmoniously selected, to contrast with the white stucco and light grays to be used on the majority of the facade surfaces. Light colors follow the principle of reflective ssurfaces, helping to keep the building’s interior areas cooler, mitigating the heat island effect, reducing the greenhouse effect, and yielding other benefits. High-quality washable paints are preferred.

low embodied energy (the sum of all energy required to produce the material). They we were selected because of their aesthetic quality of lightness and openness, and BCT’s fa favorable experience with this material at another recent, well-received bus facility, as well as with the tensile fabric roof at the county’s West government center, where na natural light levels achieved generate visual comfort and occupant well-being.

PT PTFE is the recommended canvas material, as PTFE has a longer time expectancy, longer warranty, and more natural light transmission than PVC.

W With cost saving standardization in mind, pre-fabricated units from Birdair were us used as design reference. The Birdair Saint Tropez® ST70 is called for at the south pa passenger platform, both with standard and inverted canopy. The larger Birdair m model Saint Tropez® ST90 is called for at the north platform, both platform canopy sy systems being joined by the photovoltaic panel-based structure mentioned in this do document. The Birdair Quasar® QS120 is recommended at the median between th the LTC south platform and the mall’s entrance, serving as a threshold marking an ax axial entry point to the facility and the mall. Birdair is the design reference thr throughout and the preliminary choice as vendor as they have ample experience with projects in the region and nationwide.

St Structural connections should be visually celebrated and cleanly finished. Loads fro from the canopy joining both platform canopy systems should be taken into account in the design and calculations, and its framing should be designed to tolerate the dis displacement of the overall structure. Field welding is to be avoided, bolting is pr preferred. Structure steel finishes are to be specified with corrosion and low m maintenance in mind. Piping and water collection components internal to the str structure shall be galvanized or treated against corrosion. All flammability sp specifications, structural, fire,wind and all applicable codes should be observed. For ca canopies which need to be joined in-between, joints shall be done through the use of th the same canvas material, and exterior “upside-up umbrella” type canopies should ha have an extra edge as shown on the Rainwater Harvesting section on this document, to avoid a “water wall” cascading effect during rain. The addition of department log logos on the canvas has not been accounted for, and is optional, but not recommended.

Color-changing LED lights are strongly recommended to be specified as feature uplighting, allowing varying between departmental color themes, special events, message display, or times of the year.

Consult and coordinate with the manufacturer to specify connections and structural support for uplighting early in the process. Locate light fixtures out of the reach of users

Colors: In lieu of colored canvas fabric, which would prove more costly, less favorable to the transmission of natural light, and less flexible than f colored canvas canopies, it is hereby recommended that White Pearl 81880 be selected for all steel members of the canopies, while“White (bleached)” be used for the canvas, or “Natural -not bleached-” as second choice.

Messages indicating amounts of rainwater reclaimed, amounts of runof f avoided, usage of rainwater and soil moisture sensors for irrigation, amounts of electricity generated by solar panels, fossil fuels saved via the usage of electric buses,etc should be celebrated in signage visible to the public, expressing the department’s commitment to sustainability. Consider displaying any sustainable design and/or operations certifications which the building may achieve (B roward Go Gre en Seal of Sustainability, i.e.) as well as certificates from materials‘ manufacturers and vendors. A lso, transmitting the principle of sustainability via announcements regarding users’ carbon fo otprints may contribute to generate public consciousness of resource usage.
