CENTER FOR EMERGENCY CARE UG THESIS | 2023-24 ADVISOR PETER TESTA

Academic Project program location sqft

Emergency Care Podogorica, Montenegro 85,000

*Work selected for exhibition at SCI-Arc Spring Show 2024.

This thesis is a critique of the modern hospital, which has lost touch with the needs of the world outside its envelope. Looking to the impending climate emergency, the continued miniaturization of technology, and evolving understandings about spaces of wellness, the requirements of the hospital are shifting. Yet, the modern hospital typology is not prepared for the uncertainty ahead. This project asserts that wellness is an ecological condition and proposes a loosening of fixed relationships within the hospital to create new exchanges between different spaces, practices, materials, and needs.

Within the Emergency Care Center in Montenegro, the typical hospital visit is unpacked from its rigid bounds, unrolled, and laid down as a ribbon-like journey from arrival to recovery. The project is a lamination of building and site, hospital and garden, circulation and program–the layering of which creates a unique strength and flexibility in the face of uncertainty. This vision of Emergency Care at the Clinical Centre of Montenegro challenges the hospital to make room for negotiating an architecture of care in a transitioning future.

This thesis begins with a study of hospital precedents in the form of a chronological comparison of their typological evolution. The diagram highlights the rapid evolution of the hospital over the last 100 years with the advancements of the machine age. It critiques the prioritization of efficiency over all else, highlighting both gains and losses in relation to ecological health & wellness throughout the hospital’s evolution.

The project positions itself as being part of a new “family” of hospital typology that recognizes the ecological conditions that sustain health and wellness. This type of thinking has led to hospital designs that develop away from the mega-hospital typology toward a more open and grounded form, with oriented circulation and a connection to nature.

The emergency center is nestled into 250,000 sqft of designed garden landscape. A typical visit follows a ribbon like path with constant views to the public gardens and interior courtyards.

The facade system controls what is seen and from where; the length of its undulating slats corresponds to both the orientation of the sun and the program area, in order to modulate light, shade, privacy, openess, and orientation.

The final form can conceptually be drawn as a single continuous line, and the whole building can be walked through along ramped corridors, without stopping, in an infinite loop.

A walk-in visit begins in the garden, enters reception and waiting, either indoor or outdoor, then triage and diagnostics, passing a surgery unit, ramping up to exam and treatment rooms, and finally to the second floor patient rooms, admin and offices.

OUT-OF-ARCHIVE OPEN STORAGE MUSEUM (ADAPTIVE REUSE) 5A VERTICAL STUDIO | FALL 2023 INSTRUCTOR DARIN JOHNSTONE

Academic Project program location sqft

Museum Port of Los Angeles 400,000

* Models, drawings, & renderings selected for public exhibition at 21c Museum Hotel (October 2024).

This adaptive reuse project converts an LA Port Warehouse building from 1917 into a new open-storage museum that makes a public exhibit of the art which has been historically confined to closed-off storage spaces. The project confronts two major challenges: using architectural form to engage spaces of storage for display, and converting an outdated warehouse into a collection of spaces that can accommodate such a program.

The museum’s design carves figural voids out of the existing structure and redistributes areas of storage to become engaging vertical and horizontal elements that line the gallery’s procession. The featured collection, titled “Out-Of-Archive,” hopes to challenge traditional ideas about what it means to collect, store, display and engage, and bring a new sense of familiarity and exploration to the museum.

The Met’s Out-Of-Archive: A Museum of the Future 25 Oct 2023

With an ever expanding collection of permanent storage items, the Met is embarking on a mission to make a larger portion of their vast collection a resource for the public.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has over two million items in its archive, 95%of which is kept in storage and currently inaccessible to the public. After acquiring half a million square feet of additional off-site storage space, the museum will open its archives to the public in an open storage museum model. The featured collection, titled “Out-Of-Archive,” will be displayed as it exists in storage format, accessible for the public to browse. The practice of open storage is a democratization of the museum collection, allowing the public to take part in the ownership of the art where it was previously reserved for only a select few.

The Met’s first open storage display, established in 1988, was met with success due to its breaking away from the formal and pretentious structure of gallery space. Instead, the model of open display and searchable archive offers museum visitors a sense of familiarity with the work, as well as a unique opportunity for research and education.

The new Out-Of-Archive offers a museum experience that navigates between open storage displays and conventional gallery spaces, challenging traditional formats about what it means to collect and store.

The museum space will be split between two off-site storage locations at the Port of Los Angeles and in Louisville, Kentucky. Both out-of-archive collections are first organized by material, allowing the requirements and systems of storage to be spatially differentiated. The new buildings employ architecture to express these storage systems, blending storage units such as shelf, slot, or case with architectural elements like a floor, a wall, a staircase, or a ceiling. The open storage collections are meant to be exploratory and wrap around the museum’s procession. The Met’s new extensions open in December 2023 and invite the public to explore its newly Out-Of-Archive collection.

Project Narrative

01 02 03

Selected Works | Out-Of-Archive

This project began with the development of a project narrative that would identify the types of collections to be exhibited and support the nature of their open storage displays.

Research into modern precedents for open storage museums as well as availabe types of storage formats was the first step to identifying design needs and strategies.

Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen, MVRDV, 2021

The final project explores a series of open storage types, ranging from semi-accessible to interactive, to create a more familiar and exploratory museum experience.

The final parti emerged from a particular set of figural combinations that were analyzed for spatial qualities and found most conducive to directing circulatory flow through sequential spaces and storage formats within the massing of the historic warehouse building.

In order to bring natural light into the concrete structure, brick units throughout the historic facade were strategically pushed out or angled 40º inward along the North-South axis and fitted with fenestration.

The effect is a textural tiling of the elevations that produces a bright, indirect natural light throughout the interior and avoids any direct sun.

Biotech Research Facility Los Angeles, CA 200,000

*Work selected for exhibition at SCI-Arc Spring Show 2023.

Phototrope’s biotech research lab in Los Angeles serves as a centre of research, education, and technological development on the use of microcultures as a source of renewable energy, carbon sequestration, and water treatment. It is a hub where the latest research and progress from across the world is gathered, shared, and implemented towards our sustainable future.

The project’s design process involved in-depth digital exploration of spatial experience through the use of Unreal’s game engine software, film animation, and curated perspectives in photography. The final project was presented as a narrated film, exploring the building’s critical spaces through orchestrated camera shots that reveal extensively modeled architectural elements.

Processing Facility Chunk

The first phase of design involved the extensive 3D modeling of several programmatic building chunks, each aimed at producing a single, curated photographic perspective within a critical program area.

The spatial qualities of each chunk were designed to create dynamic perspectives, and were also constantly evaluated for sectional qualities such as ceiling height, varied levels of floors, connecting circulation paths, and generally interesting void shapes.

The building’s section is a strategic compilation of the individual sections taken from the previous programmatic chunks.

The final drawing is a resolved composition that stiches together of each of these spaces in order to create unique sectional voids that float within the larger massing, while also adhering to program needs and adjacencies.

The tubing along the roof is part of a system of tubular photobioreactors that allow micro algae to flow through water to sun-lit spaces and generate electricity and manage waste water.

This section was further explored as both a detailed digital setion model as well as a physical chunk model at 1/4” scale.

*Work included in print publication “Production Urbanism, Daegu as a Circular City” book on future urbanism.

In the wake of the AI revolution, humanity is confronted with an unprecedented challenge: the relentless march of exponentially advancing technologies. Our cities find themselves at the forefront of this transformative moment, tasked with the formidable challenge of accommodating these rapid and continually evolving technological advances.

To address the challenges arising from the rapid pace of urbanization and population growth in Korea, the Smart City Proposal takes advantage of autonomous vehicle technology and existing urban infrastructure of mega-intersections and high-rise buildings. Using real-time sensing and traffic monitoring systems in combination with developing autonomous vehicle technologies, our vision is to create free-form streets that flow vertically as well horizontally to seamlessly integrate into the buildings above.

The resulting urban system augments existing architecture and frees up congested urban roads to become dynamic and interactive public squares. This proposal offers a unique chance to re-imagine urban spaces and promote a more livable and vibrant city for residents and visitors alike.

My Role: As a designer on this project, my role included proposing and developing design concepts through sketches, drawings, renderings and 3D modeling.

Our proposal installs a facade structure that gracefully wraps around the pre-existing apartment skyscrapers that characterize the area, relieving traffic at street level by allowing AVs to navigate on elevated streets and along the buildings themselves.

This proposed enhancement not only redefines the urban fabric, but offers a meeting point between cutting edge AV technologies and the evolving contemporary smart city.

Film Education Los Angeles 35,000

*Architecture Masterprize 2022 Award: Student Winner for Educational Landscape. *Work selected for exhibition at SCI-Arc Spring Show 2022.

The new Ghetto Film School campus in Los Angeles provides an introductory film education program to high school students in the heart of LA. The project transforms an undeveloped slope into an urban garden of curiosity and exploration, bringing to life an artificial realm where the imaginary takes form and creativity can grow in abundance. Its traversable landscape of interconnected courtyard spaces becomes a sheltered fabric of outdoor spaces. Visitors are invited to wander among the architecture, find sanctuary beneath the canopy, and engage with a dynamic network of surfaces transitioning between softscape and hardscape where architecture and landscape interact as part of a single ecosystem.

The site is a 50,000 SF sloped corner lot in downtown L.A. with 3 exposed streetfacing edges. The campus buildings house two 200 seat theaters, two soundstages, a making workshop, exhibition space, a library and resource center, kitchens and lounge areas, administrative offices, and a variety of hybrid classroom spaces and film production facilities.

In the pre-desing phase of this studio, a mapping exercise involved an intimate assessment of the neighborhood through walking and photography.

This isometric collaged illustration of the site’s surrounding context maps out landmarks, establishments, social encounters, typicalities, and singularities.

Isometric Site & Context Mapping

The drawing portrays both the ideal and unideal realities of life in a dense, lowincome housing distric of LA’s downtown.

The first stage of the design process involved the collection and collaging of grayscale graphics and shapes in order to arrive a conceptual figure/ ground configuration.

The collaged drawings aim to conceptualize the site as an urban garden, mapping out possibilities for building and landscape, streets and courtyards, etc.

BIG TWIST

MIXED-USE & MICRO-HOUSING 3A DESIGN STUDIO | FALL 2021 INSTRUCTOR ERIC MOSS

Academic Project program location sqft

Mixed-use & Microhousing Venice Beach, CA 100,000

*Project featured and presented at the Pando Populous 2021 Event, selected to represent SCI-Arc in the Shelter category for Mega-Micro housing.

Big Twist is a housing project in Venice Beach, CA accommodating a variety of residential units as well as mixed-use public spaces. The site is located 2 blocks from the beach, covers an entire block, and is bisected by a salt marsh water habitat.

Residential units are housed in the Western portion of the building raised above the water, with framed window views gravitating toward the ocean. Due to the building’s twisted frames and sloping ceilings, each of the units is completely unique and no two spaces are the same.

Retail, dining, and community spaces are available throughout the entire East end, where visitors may traverse the green landscape from any direction. An arts center featuring artist lofts, workshop spaces and an exhibition hall fill the third and fourth levels.

Big Twist invites the community to spill into its landscape and engage with a new neighborhood program.
