Ferry Terminal Studio

Through the analysis of domain and city structure through the research of densely organized foreign locations, this studio examines that dynamic of density placed in the heart of urban sprawl - Venice Beach - Los Angeles, CA. The brief proposes employing an adjusted height limit to 100’, which effectively generates a new metropolis within the heart of a densely residential zone. Each student brief has the opportunity to respond and interact with their next door adjacent and alleyway neighbor. The Glass Table is the final structure located on the southeast most parcel on this experimental neighborhood.

HED is an award winning multi-disciplinary AECOM firm with a portfolio that spans civic, institutional, medical, and manufacturing construction types. The included projects encompass a breadth of project construction types and aesthetics. Design intent and timeline information are included within the brief.

This M. Arch introductory studio attempts to bridge the gap across all disciplinary and non-disciplinary students on the basis of form.

Set in the minority community of Baldwin Hills, CA, this studio tasks the design of a multifamily housing arrangement for potentially unconventional relationships to housing. The precedent studies for this quarter were based in 4 foundational configurations: mat, field, pixel, and tower. This following project begins with the metabolist era Nakagin Pixel Tower located in the business district of Tokyo, Japan.

True to its namesake, this studio focuses on the design implications of structural systems and seeks to address practical understanding and utilization of structural systems. Under the premise of redesigning an existing library sited in Silver Lake - Los Angeles, CA, students are tasked with with the study and implementation of a specific structural system derived from precedent study which will then create an opportunity to have the architecture have a conscious conversation between itself and the structure.

This studio focuses on developing rhetoric surrounding family dynamics vis-a-vis the platform of single family housing. In the wake of COVID-19 quarantine, this project turns the model of working from home on its head and scrutinizes the dynamics of living at work. Positing loopholes within commercial district zoning, this project examines an architecture firm home dynamic sited on on Main St. of San Luis Obispo, CA.Set

This class focuses on the fabrication and development of incredibly complex fictions through visualizations and accompanied manufactured artifacts. This project focuses on the fiction of an alternative future through the ideology of the palimpsest. The driving force of this narrative follows dust through arid wastelands in the hopeful search of life.

This studio directly addresses the various issues of different site conditions through the lens of the same program: extreme sports. By addressing flat, sloped, and infill sites in order to negotiate the various constraints of site in quick exercises, this knowledge is then applied to an actual site located in northern Ann Arbor. This final site varies in slope and is surrounded on one side by moving water and by a train on another side.

This extended independent study project studies the labor crisis in the Rust Belt of America and proposes adaptive studies to research, train, house, and grow the labor trade industry in a sustainable and progressive way. While this study examines all major rust belt cities with diminished demand for trades and laborers, its inaugural study focuses on Detroit, MI, and specifically develops a narrative around the long abandoned Michigan Central Train Station currently under restoration.

The Wallenberg Senior Thesis serves as a platform for senior undergraduate students to develop a project which takes a contemporary political stance through architecture. Through self-driven research, students develop their problem statement to define their own prompt which will drive their project. This studio section’s projects specifically address that through the lens of the anti - monument and memorial.

This speculative research project operates under the premise that in a foreseeable future where car emissions are insignificant and urban overpopulation has reached dangerous heights. Rules of the Road seeks to question the efficacy of outdated highway infrastructural standards in an effort to discover ways to inhabit the residual spaces left over within these systems.

The pharmaceutical grade kitchen gains exposure to communal marketing and technological education via the media resources on the second level. Ultimately the program of this site seeks to

This project joins the canonical conversation of labor, specifically notions surrounding the inaccessibility of goods in the manufacturing industry which ultimately create a divide between the laborer and consumer, regardless of the object of industry. This dynamic between commodities and laborers has persisted, this conversation foregrounded most notably in the issuance of the Karl Marx’s Manifesto of the Communist party and later in Guy Debord’s writings on the commodities of the spectacle. The trope of this labor’s divide insists that workers, instead of being ruled by commodities can only produce an economic power separate from themselves, as such generating a loss of unity, reuniting them only in their separateness. Economic growth solely for the sake of progress can lead to nothing other than the growth of the alienation that was its origin.

This project seeks to harness the inherent unification in labor as a transformative device vis-à-vis the insertion rhetoric of the kitchen table. Programmatically, in addition to co-operative style multifamily housing which comprises 70% of the building’s square footage, this manifestation is rendered as a set of communal cloud kitchens and auxiliary spaces which populate the lower two levels of the Thisbuilding.program

The Glass Table envisions the transformation of this cyclical divide within the context of southwest Los Angeles. Acting as a buffer between the residential district and this new manufactured densely urban zone, this building abuts the south western edge of the site, a single family residential zone.

propose the intermingling of rigid constraints of small scale industrial projection in the excuse to use transparency and the act of theatre labor to drive consumerism as both capitalistic and educative tool, moving beyond the inherent separations natural to the program as well as the community groups. The blending of the programs traverses the lower half of the building, incorporating communal creative and lounge spaces at intermittent intervals between studio sized suites which encourage the co-opting of public spaces.

Can a building effectively disappear or dissipate and in doing so take on the rhetoric or dialogue of the surrounding landscape as an outward narrative? The building then fulfills the role of the table for the surrounding community as a glass dominant system.

Formally, the table is a device of necessity. One could argue that the markers of civility or functionality within a domicile center around the inclusion of a bed and a table. The versatility of this form in effect becomes the central narrative device, adopting a multiplicity which fulfills multiple roles simultaneously. In effect, the table transforms by necessity around the context of its labor, becoming vanity, roundtable forum, salon, classroom, morphing continuously to accommodate an array of communally based labor practices, inserting itself as deep foundation of communally generated space. The table’s flexibility in duality and accommodation is thus adapted by the building in both form and material. Assimilation as an intermediary to the adjacent residential zones becomes paramount. In this material arrangement of treated glass and polished steel, weight and transparency of the materials track an inherent sense of nothingness, leading one to question how far can the language of the systems be driven, the distance between column spacing, the finish of material, to begin to convey a sense of invisibility to foster a community of the unfamiliar?

The western edge with least exposure reveals itself as a quality of life transition, carving back into the building and effectively bifurcating the space as a final reflection of internal community as context.

In this case, the building incorporates the hyper reflective or high polish finish to compliment the deep surface of glazing layers. Rather this use of material finish works at the exterior to dissipate and mimic environmental conditions, whereas it’s interior expression provide a continual contextualization for the user to their nearest program. Deployment of high polish finish thus provides a layered perspective, transposing that of the individual onto the community and vice versa.

Through layering and unresolved refractions, the understanding of depth blurs in a way which begins to suggest opacity through its lack of clarity. This deep surface becomes the primary Proponent of interaction between the individual programs. Reflectivity, engages the immediate context as an analytical device on its own, becoming an intermediary manifestation of the user’s gaze back upon themselves. On a larger scale the desire then is to maximize the this threshold of transition and accommodation across each edge

Amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic, a young family of architects choose to start a new firm, pooling their resources to do so. The caveat is that the mother and father cannot hope to afford a separate residence while supporting a new child and instead find a property which can facilitate a functioning work life model. However, this couple takes the trending working from home model popularized by the pandemic and flips it on its head. The site in which this plays out. 1710 Main St. Cambria. The Drama: Living at Work. Our family is a young wife and husband, along with their then 5 year old son. The family members naturally have separate priorities and these ultimately unfold in the design and throughout the life of the home. At present these priorities are quite clear as zones of occupation, with the father mostly occupying work zones along with the staff, the child with his own sleep, makeshift play spaces and hidey holes, and the mother ferrying in between.

The build lot itself is an enigma, a-residentially zoned property on a commercial corridor. Given the opportunity to question the work life model in the crisis of COVID, hermetic separation also becomes a key feature to scrutinize and exploit as an opposing model to the standard open office and core space: the typical plan. If one considers Rem Koolhaas’s definition of the typical plan for business as the penultimate freedom, lacking all content, functionality in its core, then one might postulate that flexibility is basely inherent to office program and that locations which require specific functionality and choice imply rigidity.

Following that line of thinking, this house flips that model on its head. We examine a work – life model in net to gross terms.

Fully programmed, the poche acts almost as a transposed furnishing onto the open plan. Friction thus mounts in the plan itself as well as the family as they attempt to operate a functioning architectural firm in the sporadic leftover space. This top down model allows for minimal interaction between the work and home life, the interplay between the furnishing and remnants of the free plan highlighting these moments of activation and isolation. Daylight and Artificial light carve out space as a consequence of the muteness of the commercially oriented sides, the relationships mirrored across elevations. The resultant interplay of light and shadow, enclosure + exposure create these gloomy moments of isolation throughout the home. Moments of layered filtering provide either moments of stoic beauty or eerie cohabitation as the family members become spectating spectres in one another’s lives.

In this family’s instance the non-net space becomes fully programmed for residential occupancy. The non-net residential space thus engulfs the floor plate, an expanded core typology which effectively renders the remaining office to be one of inconvenience and separation.

The Wall is the result of interest in the implications of deeply embedded infrastructure as a consequential model in our response to realities of sea level rising due to climate change. Located in Oxnard, California, The Wall addresses the conditions of the sea level rise at 15 feet above the levels, a true possibility which scientific study estimates will likely occur within the next 100 years provided the current inaction toward global warming.

With the rise of the water level and the ruination of the current pillars of functionality, communities will need to be more self-sufficient to survive and create new means of mobility and access. At the center of this newly germinating network, The Wall – Ferry Terminal stands to provide a hub for transportation but also serves the community by providing drinkable water, energy and food.

This project examines this, in conjunction with similarly far-fetched realities which have the potential to exacerbate this situation to the degree in which the infrastructure begins to crumble. The Wall thus explores the consequences created by both the need to integrate these now necessary technologies as well as the reintroduction of nature back to infrastructure. These aspects cultivated into a desire to study the monumental form as hybrid infrastructural architecture, looking specifically the ancient Roman aqueducts as an original testament to the complete integration of infrastructure.

Given the current social climate as well as its environmental counterpart, we wanted to hone in on notions of a constructed ceremony and the ritual of commuting to this hub space as well. Specifically, we use different experiential lenses to observe how that experience shifts, deconstructing the layers of approach to soften the monumental infrastructure at each increased scale. From afar, The Wall stands out as a beacon to orient those at sea and far off horizons. Upon approach the edges of the building soften, broken edges and attachments embracing the consequences of natural and technological integration as readily as function.

The Richard Meier presents as an unyielding omnidirectional force pulse from any point of origin on its 24’ x 24’ grid. The Richard Serra sculpture has a much softer expression, returns to its purest linear expression, and unfurling unilaterally along its own north / south axis. The structure of this building is sustained by a mega truss which carries two floors of load at the topmost level. This intersection of forces is resolved at key structural moments as well, the 30 degree rotation of key beams allowing the system to span much further. The building acts as capturing element which rationalizes these blended forces within the organizational structure of its free plan. In effect, the underbelly of the cantilever serves to mirror and thus validate these forces, becoming the new ground. Walls give way to active and inactive panels which demarcate program and circulation as the fuzzy language of interactions translate from ground to enclosure, wrapping structure to become partition, and ceiling. The language of reverberating vibration sweeps over the façade, flickering between various stages of opacity along its path, defining hierarchy between the flowing grids in a series of multicolored aluminum mesh screens.

This project attempts to localize aspects of the metabolist pixel tower, most notably the hyper efficiency of the modular unit and the consequently isolated interior nature of the core dependent structure. By juxtaposing the overlapping semi organic loose grid of immediate surrounding residential context with the rigid dia-grid formed by key landmark points in greater Los Angeles, Downtown northeast, Hollywood Hills north, and Baldwin Hills immediately south, the hyper normative modular unit and cluster arrangement deforms to resolve macro and microcosmic relationships of site context resolved at those points of overlap.

The interior primarily micro experience is resolved as a series of pedestrian highways through and into a nestled primary courtyard space, the above ground levels of circulation a meandering ambulatory system which directly seats the resident’s awareness to the opposing grid along that path. The exterior macro experience privileges all resident’s sight orientation to those landmarks while creating a natural barrier between public and private open spaces. At the primary points of intersection on the site, the local grid imposes dominance over the global orientation, forcing confrontation of the sculpted landscape accommodation into the regular residential cluster programming.

This project seeks to discover the affects which a part-to-whole dynamic has on a building’s relationship with structural and programmatic massing on a given site. Using the modular component as a base for study, sensitivity is applied to both scale and program to address site factors such as density and flow (pedestrian, transient, traffic, etc.), noise conditions, and light penetration to foster programmatic connections. The scale of module ranges the spectrum of enlarged assembly space to single person study and utility rooms. This scaled kit of parts relationship extends to the interior spaces as well, most notably reduced down to the human/object scale for configurations of seating and assembly. As a result of the concentric, nestling nature of this partto-whole configuration, program blends in a way which co-opts space and reduces volume-heavy form on such a confined site. The relationships between massing and module become most evident as the module components combine and the structures begin to assimilate.

Due to the ambiguous nature of public and private space within the library building type, this programming logic also has the ability to permeate the interior/exterior relationship as well. Exterior communal spaces co-opt the highest level of exposure and transparency while interior solitary and study spaces take on the highest level of opacity. I: Site Plan

Using Dutch structuralism and the works of Herman Hertzberger as inspirational precedent, these modules take on a fractal form of modular parts. These clustered forms create introverted courtyard conditions which dually serve program as both circulation and communal spaces, running horizontally as connecting avenues and vertically experiential nodes of rooftop green space.

Using Scupley™ polymer clay as a studio – wide medium for this deformation, mapped string was employed as a form of soft model analysis and CNC routed wood impressions were used as hard analysis in the two systems. The resultant studies of both jigs produced similar formal results which we were able to condense into a series of surface and edge conditions in section. These conditions were then cataloged into typologies and reconfigured into a morphology which displayed the most distinctive conditions from each system. This resultant section model was the basis for the secondary part of this studio.

The vaults within the Church of the Jacobins in Toulouse, France served as the subject of an intensive group precedent study. In this particular case, my partner and I chose to study the implications of the building materials. Specifically, we noted the implications of mass and its relation to aggregative systems and chose to study that relationship. In doing so, we found that honing in on the interstitial space of the aggregate system provided the means to concentrate on a single variable. We then constructed two jig systems which used pressure as the main source of deformation across that system.

The results of the precedent study, more specifically the porous section revealed crude moments where the undefined transitions lead one to feel as though the view was somehow incorrect. A problem then emerges which seeks to investigate the relationship between surface, mass and the ambiguous nature of the transition in between. After extensive material testing, soap cast into plaster stood out as the most consistent and legible result, the sequential chambers of negative space left behind hinting at the ambiguity which exists within the overlap and suggest that aggregation could facilitate that transitional nature. Scale then acts as a means to differentiate function of the aggregate as it exists to create inhabitable space, transition, aperture and particle space. Within the thickened surface membrane of the prescribed Los Angeles sidewalk, the configured aggregates all become descriptors of the transition. What results in this Metro Station entrance is a descent into a series of chambers whose overlapping apertures display the same irregular and distorted qualities introduced by the precedent study.

SNHA focuses primarily on mission critical facilities for data storage with Facebook as the largest benefactor in office. During my time there, I helped to oversee the VLL campus from schematic design phase through to construction administration phase of the first building before departing to join the AUD graduate program at UCLA.

Situated in the desert of New Mexico, the administrative spaces’ aesthetic was directly reflective of the palette of the surrounding culture and landscape, of sandy neutrals and punches of vegetation. The façade cladding consisted primarily of bleached bone white fiber cement panels, a passive shading system of twisted metal panels cover the secure spaces of the building while allowing optimal light entry to the public spaces.

The data center interiors and adjoining passive cooling penthouses incorporate climate sensitive design strategies to maximize the efficiencies of the systems’ performance. In this case, in the deserts of New Mexico, the largest factors of contention are heat and sand. While some additional heat becomes negligible due to the requirements for temperature control for data servers at the lower levels, sand accumulation becomes a serious issue in terms of system efficiency. In this case, a secondary passive system of horizontal louvers and successive chambers were designed in order to reduce the volume of sand intake to negligible amounts. The final scheme takes inspiration from the administrative wing by way of color palette and aesthetic language.

The dual tone system included a custom fabricated brise soleil whose angle and positioning acted as a continuation of the interior linear acoustical ceiling system and acted as the way point of main entry. Passive cooling continued into the courtyard spaces with penetrations of similar angles to allow optimal airflow. This notion of the theme of passive cooling is derived from the proprietary passive mechanical cooling systems for the data servers at either side.

An Assessment and Reaction to the American - Mexican Border ConditionCLOUDED PERCEPTION ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR ANCA TRANDAFIRESCU 80

Clouded Perception focuses on the Mexican – American border condition, aptly named the Great Wall of America. For decades illegal immigration across this border was very common. This changed when the U.S. government strengthened the border with increased security in response to declining economy. In order to cut cost in 2001, border patrol was diverted to the Californian and Texan borders. Because these borders were physically easier to cross, the Sonoran Desert which extends across the Arizona border would provide a natural physical barrier to keep migrants out. As a result, the harsh desert condition became either the deterrent for migrants or the executioner to those desperate enough to cross. Many fell prey to climate and other conditional circumstances. While malicious intent cannot be proven, this action took a definite toll on the migrant population. As of 2001, over 6500 migrants have died on the border, over half of which have been found in the Sonoran Desert. Of these migrants found, hundreds have still not been identified.

The bodies of migrants found in the Sonoran Desert are collected by Border Patrol officers and taken to the only morgue nearest to the site. If these people cannot be identified within the 30 days they are allowed to remain in the

While the media has “attempted” to create awareness of these losses, covering the details of deaths and carrying a moral tally of sorts, no action has been taken to change the effect nor expose the cause. This project therefore seeks to effectively stir a rise of action on this subject by recalling, defining, and displaying the effects of this situation in a way that cannot be easily ignored in an attempt to prevent the mass bystander syndrome that is so common to the American people. Clouded Perception does this by centralizing the body recovery process and displaying it in a way that unforgettably impacts those who experience it.

the boundaries of the Organ Pipe State Park, Clouded Perception intermingles with the famous Organ Pipe Cactus, allowing it to disrupt the grid, loosening the structure already imperfect in their human placement. Visitors are able to experience it on two levels, as a field from a higher altitude and as a much more zoomed in landscape walking through it, the oppressive heat and uncertainty guiding the experience. The field exists as an endless and repetitive process that will only cease to exist when the process changes. There is a sense of the surreal moving about a field of such density wandering endlessly, dust kicking up sporadically offering reprieve to covert crossers who may seek solace in this location as temporary cover or simply to mourn. Unlike the halfhearted media attempts to gain awareness in their sporadic counting the dead, Clouded Perception stands as a reminder of the situation at hand, to remain visible even to those who don’t want to see. The growth of this black stain on prized landscape will slow to a halt once the deaths themselves do.

Clouded Perception takes the aforementioned box condition, deconstructs it so that these unidentified migrants gain some semblance of individuality once more, and displays it in a way that cannot be ignored. These boxes rest in the Sonoran Desert, the site where many of the deaths occur. These boxes are precisely 1’ x 1’ x 1’ placed manually in an alternating grid pattern spaced approximately 2’ apart running parallel with the Mexican border, just wide enough for a single person to fit through the voids they create. The boxes are made of polished black stone, their reflectivity symbolic of the interchangeability of the fortunate and unfortunate, bringing visitors closer to those

Their families are forced to go on for long periods of time without closure and often times never find out what happened to their family.

Rules of the Road seeks to question the efficacy of outdated highway infrastructural standards in an effort to discover ways to inhabit the residual spaces left over within these systems. In an attempt to alleviate the issue of decreasing empty space within high density urban areas. These new architectural structures integrate both the pedestrian and the driver equally. Because these structures interact fully with the whole of the interchange, the resultant architecture is at a mega scale and can subsequently act as residential, commercial, ecological, and infrastructural program simultaneously.

While performing preliminary analysis, it quickly became clear that gaining more knowledge about pre-existing freeway conditions would be beneficial before creating any new designs. This line of thinking led to the creation of an extensive taxonomy of pre-existing interchange condition diagrams, which simply demarcate the common formal trends of the system which will later influence the consciousness of design possibility. Furthermore, an extensive understanding of the road rules and regulations were needed to proceed, resulting in a diagrammatic understanding of the landscape.

The Loop or Spaghetti Bowl in Chicago represents a massive urban block devoid of activity due to the highway. What was originally reserved as a public civic plaza became a space for the automobile. As a means of testing the proximity of a human to a car, the proposals seeks to re-occupy the space in a large scale public manner without displacing the infrastructure. A large office building is proposed with an exterior public parking space which occupies a cloverleaf landscape proposal. Rather than hide the automobile from the pedestrian, the car is viewed as a sculptural trajectory that carves into the mass of the block.

In contrast to the Loop, the South side site was used as a means to engage a neighborhood residential fabric. Where the Loop represented a depressed condition the Southside site included an elevated freeway. This site focused on the continuity of the freeway and examined the potential for cross-cut penetrations at the street level and visually for the passengers on the freeway. The cross cuts allow for local movement across the site making connections to and through an urban landscape. The cross-cuts break down the large form and provide driver and passenger glimpses of the local urban fabric below.

This project focuses on the reintroduction of the tree canopy of the surrounding area back into the site through building. Though the presence of the canopy previously existed on the site along the perimeter, the goal was to create a fully immersive extension of the tree canopy condition across its majority. Through site analysis of the previously existing conditions on the site as well as the trees surrounding on the northeastern and western borders, 4 principal relationships between the surrounding trees and their rooted landscape was discovered.

By applying the aforementioned conditions through casting forms through plaster, these conditions became a topographical fabric draped which comes up to nestle the building at its points of convergence. Programmatically, the interior building topography diverges into two pain paths of circulation. A calm programmatic path in which the retail, cafes, observation decks, and similar places exist lies atop the consistent topography in which the shift in elevation is minimal, the slope virtually nonexistent. Within this path of circulation those less interested in the fast pace of the extreme sports are pulled into the building from the primary entrance and upward onto the second floor where they are free to visually take part in all of the action through the porous moments of glass punching through the building at various points, highlighting the main areas for sports to occur.

Porosity: Punches of holes into the dense canopy which create a condition in which the topography of the ground stands alone, surrounded by the canopy, creating a new spatial condition within.

Convergence: Instances where the form of the canopy and ground plane move toward a mutual horizon line.

The porous condition of the building maps the active programmatic boundaries, punching holes into the canopy, creating an opportunity of interconnectivity through the transparent material structuring. The instances alternately behave as light wells, drawing light down into the underbelly created between the canopy and supporting landscape. Just as the curtain wall of windows provides an instance for the various inhabitants to make the connection between their place within the new canopy extension into the living tree canopy, the underbelly provides a means to extend the program downward, to immerse themselves into the physical experience of those field conditions as they play out in this new topographical site form.

The nuclear ideal for a family has become obsolete to the current generation’s desire for connection and lifestyle. Our project proposes to look outward toward functioning global dynamics of community to draw inspiration, using familial tropes to propose new ways of considering the collective.

During its peak economic activity in 20th century, commercial buildings dominated the shape of the city, sparking some movements to reduce the imposing skyscrapers and the disorder brought about by private development throughout the city. One of the major movements was the City Beautiful movement which highlighted the importance of civic and social values in the increasingly threatening and disrupting shape of the city. Private high-rise buildings covered the city skyline and dwarfed the public structures such as the library, museum, and even city hall.

Starting at the smallest scaled node on the site, we witness the resolution of masonry as a single component, exploring in this one by one as a singular tectonic, mass carved from the interior to resolve wall and aperture. Employing the closed system style mentioned earlier, this scheme explores the furthest extents of masonry construction, levying the external pressure of devising a laterally constricted configuration which explored how a traditionally compressive system might address the condition of floor above grade. The thickened section becomes a venue for interplay of form and function as column

With each increase in scale, there is also an added increase in complexity to the system challenges, culminating with hybrid systems and complex geometries on the largest scale. Construction sequence will be ordered in terms of scale. The smallest pavilion scale will be the first to be constructed, and will serve as classrooms, meeting spaces, and workshop facilities for the duration of the program. The second tier scale will be multifamily housing, the final production amount coinciding with the number of tradesmen needed to construct the final tier of program – a medium to large scale civic space which will combine skillsets gained from the initial two exercises and introduce a final condition which will mature the skills gained up to this point.

In doing so, trade innovations garnered through the efforts of the preceding classes’ labor will carry though and mutate the methods of production. In this way, construction methods indicative of Rust Belt architecture will continue to maintain and also evolve in perpetuity, anticipating their own obsolescence and adapting to new climate. This plays out in phases across each node of the site, gaining complexity in design rhetoric and technological advancement at eat cycle of development.

Operation Harvest is a cinematic narrative which documents the findings of an explorer team visiting a hostile environment as a result of years of global warming. At the first approach, the climate is extremely harsh. The atmosphere is hot and dry. Bodies of water are contaminated with concentrations of unknown chemicals, and the air is filled with high densities of particulate and dust which increase the further into the environment the explorers
