TABLE OF CONTENTS

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The focus of this thesis will be to study how an intentionally built community center that emphasizes the bonding of culture, the building up of community, and the development of culinary skills can provide opportunity and serve as a pivot point for people.

This 41,000 sq ft adaptive reuse project is located in Southwest Philly, which has some of the largest food insecurity rates and lowest food access rates. It is surrounded by affordable housing, which provides relief to the growing gentrification of the area. It is located near greenspace and transportation lines (train, bus), also making it accessible for those in and outside the area.

Inspired by the idea of “carve,” this cooking library is a space intentionally set aside for people in the community, where everyone has a reality of belonging and inclusion.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Food is a basic human right. When that is taken away or access becomes limited, it becomes a crisis. Food insecurity is a rising issue in the United States, causing many to go without access to nourishing food or having to portion food to survive. Propelled by gentrification, people are being forced to move to food deserts where there is little access to nourishing food and high rates of food insecurity. More often than not, those who are affected are people of color.

South Philadelphia is one of the most affected areas, having food insecurity and poverty rates that are higher than the rest of the city, and lacks places for people to go to have access to nourishing food.

Soup kitchens are often seasonal, and more often by religious organizations that deter people from going. In addition, there is a staunch stigma about having to use a soup kitchen, where society looks down on those who need help and makes people feel ashamed.

Given this, the following driving question is proposed: How can the idea of a soup kitchen (access to food) and the idea of a library (access to knowledge) be reimagined to be more relevant in today’s culture and more purposeful in its role in the surrounding community to create a place where people are are physically and mentally nourished?

BUILDING ANALYSIS & CONDITIONS

The

Warehouse Current

This whole building is currently empty/abandoned, and its renovation (to be an affordable housing complex and commercial space to be finished 2024) is proposed as a plan to help rebuild and revitalize the neighborhood. This adaptive reuse space is where the Carve Cooking Library will be located.

It is also located adjacent to the Philadelphia and Pennsylvania railroad line, near bus stops, and in a neighborhood experiencing a critical need for assistance.

The Warehouse History

Address: 501 Oakford Street, Philadelphia, PA 19146

This building is located in the Grays Ferry neighborhood in Southwest Philadelphia, directly adjacent to the Schuylkill River. This roughly one hundred year old industrial structure served as a manufacturing facility until its closure.

Marked by its industrial features, this brick masonry building’s architecture is expressed through the repetition of its steel post and wood beam structural system. Its large factory windows on all sides allow an abundant amount of natural light into the space, and serves as a distinct structure in the community.

CONCEPT STATEMENT

carve: to set aside for a specific purpose

Based on the concept of “CARVE,” this space engages the user through cut volumes, rhythm of volumes to curate curiosity, and deliberate movement of form that leads to community growth and encourages everyone to gather.

The emphasis on connection to the surrounding community shapes the design and program. The main goal is to promote the idea of “gather” that emphasizes collaboration, uninhibited exploration, and unconventional interactions in distinguished spaces.

By exploring the relationship between architecture and food, this cooking library in South Philadelphia acts as a community center for opportunity, learning, and growth. Just as in adaptive reuse projects where the interior is designed and little changes are made to the exterior/shell, a similar approach applies to food, where the focus is often on seasoning and crafting the inside/filling. Both have a key focus on elevating the human experience through interacting with and immersing the senses.

OVERVIEW

Exploded Axonometric

Color Justification:

The color palette facilitates wayfinding throughout the space and is used to aid in visual cues, with the core and stairs using color sparingly to aid in the understanding of the space. The color palette is pulled from natural colors found in fresh food/produce, referring back to the program’s concept and goals in the space. Vibrant colors are also used to distinguish important spaces where collaboration and learning occurs.

LEVEL ONE

This first level is the most public and is the first impression in establishing a connection with the community. Here, the user can experience the triple-height carved-out space, where they can get previews of other spaces. The monumental staircase makes wayfinding clear and guides the users up to the second level. In addition, there is a strong emphasis on connection with nature/daylight via the curtain wall, as well as providing that transparency to the community to establish trust.

Level Three holds the ingredient library, a combination of the Innovation Lab and Ingredient Library. In the Ingredient Library, people are able to immerse their senses and expand their knowledge of spices. Here, they exchange culture and build community. The Innovation Lab serves for a more intimate learning of food preparation and experimentation, as well as an herb garden. Throughout the space, there is seating against the windows to establish that connection to daylight. The double height spaces connect to the fourth floor, creating an interactive experience within the interior.

Principles of Universal Design

What is “Universal Design?”

Universal design “is the design and composition of an environment so that it can be accessed, understood, and used to the greatest extent possible by all people regardless of their age, size, ability, or disability.”

Equitable Use

1. Space is designed for people with diverse abilities and uses things such as different counter, table and chair heights to create an inclusive atmosphere.

Flexibility in Use

1. Different seating styles are highlighted as a feature of the space to showcase preferences to style, sitting postures, materials, and heights. Each kitchen can address different tasks as needed.

2. Multi-purpose spaces can be configured to meet a variety of program/community needs.

3. Through many different seating options in each space, this addresses the range of individual posture preference and range of accessibility.

Simple and Intuitive

1. Wayfinding signage is located right next to the stair exit/ entrance to provide ease of navigation. Restroom location is beside the stair exit/entrance to provide ease of access.

2. Icons are used in wayfinding to increase understanding of programs and direction.

3. Large numbers, instead of words, are used to distinguish floors, making it more inclusive and intuitive t

57
7
1
2
3 DESIGN FOR ALL UNIVERSAL DESIGN APPLICATIONS ACCESSIBILITY

Perceptible Information

1. Legibility is maximized through Color contrasts for way finding and other signage, making them easily perceptible to the users.

2. Color is used to distinguish important areas.

3. Icons are used in wayfinding to relay necessary information to effectively communicate understanding of space, regardless of the user’s sensory abilities.

Tolerance for Error

1. The design minimizes hazards

2. Clear signage is used to emphasize entrance/exit points and key information.

Low Physical Effort

1. The space can be used with a minimum fatigue level

2. Automatic door buttons are used for doors such as the main entrance.

Size and Space for Approach and Use

1. Code minimums were exceeded to provide a large space to accommodate user’s size, posture, or mobility to foster an inclusive environment.

2. Different furniture options are used to address the need and preference for user’s, creating an inclusive environment regardless of user body size or mobility.

3. Different height tables are used in spaces to accommodate user ability and height.

4. The space uses clear lines of sight to important elements and spaces, regardless of seated or standing.

WELL STANDARD

Concepts of WELL

What is “WELL?”

The WELL Building Standard is a performancebased system for “measuring, certifying, and monitoring features of the built environment that impact human health and well-being” and focuses on the intentional impact of the users.

Air

1. Indoor air quality is optimized through using low VOC materials and through extensive air venting systems, especially in the kitchen areas.

Movement

1. The stair layout fosters physical activity and guides users to move more by having each stair entrance opposite of previous stair exit.

2. Stairs are a prominent feature in the space, encouraging users to interact with them, over using elevators (which are accessible, just not emphasized).

Materials

1. Materials selection focused on materials that met one or more of these requirements:Low VOC, contribute to LEED points, made from >50% recycled materials, carbon neutral, Cradle to Cradle certification (at least SIlver certification)

2. Use of low-hazard cleaning products that reduce impacts in indoor air quality

Community

1. One of the goals of this space was to respond to community needs by creating an inclusive and empowering design program. This program addresses community needs such as access to food, access to knowledge, and access to social engagement. This space aims to look past the stigmas of people who come from different backgrounds to emphasize social equity. Throughout the space, sets of tables, or “Gather spaces,” are used to create moments where people can interact and learn from each other.

2. The zoned layout encourages collaboration across various ethnicities, education levels, and backgrounds among community members

59

Nourishment

1. To address factors that influence cognitive and emotional well-being, one of the main programs addresses gaps in access issues related to knowledge by providing literary (library) and sensory (ingredient library) sources to meet the varied styles of learning. In addition, the teaching kitchen and innovation lab areas are used to improve cognitive and physical health.

2. Access to daylight (through windows, curtain wall) and nature (use of plants throughout) is emphasized to boost mood and mental well-being.

Mind

1. To address factors that influence cognitive and emotional well-being, one of the main programs addresses gaps in access issues related to knowledge by providing literary (library) and sensory (ingredient library) sources to meet the varied styles of learning. In addition, the teaching kitchen and innovation lab areas are used to improve cognitive and physical health.

2. Access to daylight (through windows, curtain wall) and nature (use of plants throughout) is emphasized to boost mood and mental well-being.

Sound

1. Acoustic treatment in atriums/double-height spaces has an NRC rating o f>90. Walls surrounding the kitchens, restroom core, and elevator core have a minimum STC rating of 50. This aids in decreasing the hindrance of productivity, and focus, and minimizes uncomfortable environments.

2. Sound baffles and sound-absorbent materials are used throughout partitions and wallcoverings.

3. Zoning is used to lay out activities of similar noise levels and similar use types next to each other to minimize acoustical problems.

4. Sound transmission techniques are layered throughout the space, such as using air gaps between glass and glass and wall and material.

5. To address the exterior-to-interior sound transmission, carefully designed acoustic baffles are used (near windows). Opaque surface proportions of the enclosure are also optimized to combat the use of glass.

6. To address the amount of hard, reflecting surfaces (brick walls, concrete floors) that lead to the reduced amount of sound-absorbing surfaces, ceiling absorption is highlighted throughout the space through acoustic baffles and acoustic tiles (where applicable).

60

WELL STANDARD- CONT.

Thermal Comfort

1. Controlled temperature throughout cooking areas and adjacent spaces via ventilation and air and cooling systems.

2. Use of operable shades to address the abundance of windows and to meet user preferences in the area(s).

Light

1. Large glazing windows are used to increase access to daylight throughout the first three floors. In areas not directly adjacent to the glazing, windows are placed to increase access to daylight.

1A. Daylight analysis informed the location and sizing of shading devices to reduce glare.

2. Efficient lighting design techniques are implemented to focus on human health and visual acuity and comfort (such as using LED lighting and tunable lights where applicable).

3. Different levels of lighting are layered to aid in comfort and use of spaces.

3A. Ambient lighting is used to help with visual recognition and overall flexibility of space

3B. Task lighting is used to aid in lighting for specific activities. Specific controls are available to users to aid in meeting individual preferences.

3C. Focal lighting is used to emphasize wayfinding features on ceilings and walls

Water

1. Availability, accessibility, and proximity of drinking fountains on every floor

2. Water filtration system improves water quality, and water fountains and water bottle refilling station encourage hydration and reduce plastic waste
