DESIGN FOR SMALL BODIES OF WATER Pathways for Experiencing Missouri Flat Creek Master of Architecture Graduate Thesis 2011 My thesis is about developing small bodies of water that still remain a neglected and abandoned site. In a big city, the waterfront has become a great place for people to hang out. Waterfronts are always filled with varios activities such as performances, water activities, and dining; and people who visit enjoy the place every single time. Going back to the past, waterfronts were dominated by factories, and it was not a precious place like today. Factories used water to operated machines and discharged used water containing lots of pollutants. As a result, waterfronts became dead spaces and caused
serious human diseases. Since then, humans have realized the importance of water and tried to restore their waterfront carefully. So far, it has been successful. People are starting to visit waterfronts again and enjoy their free time. However, these developments are mostly focused on big bodies of water. In other words, small bodies of water are still hardly developed and remain abandoned areas. Misouri Flat Creek is a good example. It is such a small creek flowing in the middle of Pullman. However, it is not recognigible because of the surroundings. Some

parts of Missouri Flat Creek are covered by concrete used for roads, a car wash facility, and buildings, blocking the views to the creek. Many other small bodies of water have the same issue as Missouri Flat Creek. Therefore, I will look for a way of developing small bodies of water through developing Missouri Flat Creek.

Missouri Flat Creek is located in the city of Pullman. It flows along the side of N. Grand Avenue and joins South Fork River at downtown Pullman. It is a small creek coming from Palouse basin which is 20 miles away to the north of Pullman.

Like a waterfront in a big city, small bodies of water can be integrated with a community as well. It can provide us a place to hang out and have water experiences. It has its own beauty that we should respect. It provides more opportunities to bring people close to nature than big bodies of water because small bodies of water exist within small communities. There is no need for a car. Simply take a walk or bike there. It is a private garden for all and a home for small creatures. Missouri Flat Creek is one of these small bodies of water. As I stated at the beginning, my thesis has been developed based on three considerations: usability with experiences of water; visibility with a new path; and sustainability through water filtration. These considerations are basic elements that should apply into every development on small bodies of water. The Missouri Flat Creek development design is a showcase to let people know how to apply these basic elements into the design of future developments on other small bodies of water. The amouant of time that I spent at the creek and struggling with my design was worth more than I can explain; it was the key to come up with my final design solution. ‘Follow as water flows’ ; like my initial concept, nature itself will suggests the design, the designer only needs to follow its path. The answers will be there on the way.

Problems
Thoughtless development, pollution, overpopulation, traffic congestion, and unemployment are common problems in an urban area. Those problems are always recognized as big problems. City planners and developers have tried to find solutions for a long time, but the problems are still there. Nevertheless, people are gathering around big city. On the other hand, rural areas have suffered by a decrease in population. The local economy has been stagnant. Poor transportation conditions, public services, and job opportunities make people to leave their hometown. Those rural areas are mostly dedicated to agriculture. The primary industry, farming for instance, is a major means of living. However, farming also has several hard issues that have to be solved. Although both urban and rural areas have problems, rural areas have always been left behind. Most developments are focused on urban areas. As a result, urban areas are getting crowded and complicated, while rural areas are falling into death. Architecture also ignores the situations on rural areas. Therefore, the intent of this project is focusing on chronic problems of rural areas and finds a way that can solve the problems by suggesting a new urbanization form that fit into situations that rural areas have. The new urbanization form mainly suggests combining farming and manufacturing, creating a city with several sets of small underground community units, and use of natural conditions to operate community building units such as wind power generator, natural ventilation, cooling and heating.

The Palouse is a region of the northwestern United States, encompassing parts of southeastern Washington, north central Idaho and, in some definitions, extending south into northeast Oregon. It is a major agricultural area, primarily producing wheat and legumes. Situated about 160 miles (250 kilometers) north of the Oregon Trail, the region experienced rapid growth in the late 19th century, for a brief time surpassed the population of the Puget Sound region of Washington. The region is home to two land grant universities, the University of Idaho in Moscow and Washington State University in Pullman. Located just eight miles (13 km) apart, both schools opened in the early 1890s.

CONCLUSION
Solving Problems
By combining farming and manufacturing, the population will increase as of needs of workers. It simplifies the lines of transporting systems, save time and money, and also prevents wasted of product. Moreover, stable financial support can be available for farmers. Manufacturing firm helps farmer by researching and supporting on preventing pests and diseases as well as improving seeds. Underground community can keep the land for farming, and prevent excessive expansion of a city. It also helps heating, cooling, and ventilating the community building naturally. Use of Natural power to operate community building can protect local environment and make itself to be a stand-alone free energy city. SITE ING RM FA

DESIGN CONCEPT
PROJECTING THE CITY INTO THE URBAN VERTICAL FARM The most challenge was to make connection between the urban vertical farm and the city of San Francisco. The farm is an organism of natrue and the cityscpae is an organism of human habitat. Once I realized that, I tried to project the cityscape of San Framcisco into the vertical farm, and ďŹ anally those two organism became one organism that representing urban vertical farm of San Francisco.

THE STORY OF HAPPINESS Whenever people visit some places, the memory becomes a good source to remember a moment. This memory is came out from speciďŹ c experiences at the place. for this project, I tried to encourage people to experience a great moment at the pier. This pier includes various contents about the city of seattle, so whatever they experience at the pier, it is about seattle. In addition, the picture frame bridge especially suggests where people need to look at.

DESIGN CONCEPT DE-CUBE
The cubes are chosen to represent the physical form of program. Then each cube are categoriesed and placed carefully on the site. By doing that it makes easy to ďŹ gure out how much space are need for this project. Once the expeiment is done with the cubes, I tried to transform those cubes to architectural format, so that it can loose the feels of cube.
