Frogtown Art Center

Fourth Year Topic Studio I Fall 2023 I Claudia Wainer Partner: Alex Gomez

This proposal for the Frogtown Art Center is located in Elysian Valley, CA and explores the use of clay as a building material in architecture. The process began by generating a field of curves that responded to existing site conditions. This field was then used to create a floor plan that deliberately funnels people in from both of the existing approaches to the site. This seamless connection between the bike path along the LA river and the Lewis McAdams Park helps to generate more pedestrian traffic and exposes the community to the art.

The curvilinear form of the walls was then carried through vertically as the wall and roof planes were intentionally twisted and lofted to create unique spatial qualities that place emphasis on specific areas. This formal exploration takes advantage of the malleable nature of clay. Furthermore, the apertures in the project also create nooks in order to capitalize on the thick rammed earth materiality.

To mitigate the visual impact on the site and preserve views of the LA River, a subterranean level was incorporated to accommodate creative spaces for artists. This approach not only serves to underscore the substantial, earthen massing of the structure but also introduces a deliberate contrast with the lightweight, airy roof, predominantly constructed from glass and ceramic tiles.

Fourth Year Topic Studio I Spring 2024 I Marc Schulitz Partner: Perrine Lee

This project proposes a tennis stadium and training facility on the south end of Cal Poly Pomona’s campus, designed for student-athletes and local professional tournaments. The parti features two simple intersecting shapes—two circles intersected by a rectangle—rotated 22 degrees southeast, in order to optimize court orientation. The rigid forms organize the program, while fluid circulation paths connect the campus to the arenas and invite public access. These paths are integrated with landscaping and an outdoor amphitheater, creating an interactive plaza for use throughout the day, whether there is a match or not.

The circulation was designed to separate user groups effectively: staff and athlete facilities are located on the groundlevel “bar,” while the general public is guided to the second floor via ramps. VIPs have a private entrance at the bar’s right end, with an elevator directly accessing box seats. A central open-to-below staircase links the bar and plaza, allowing visitors to preview athletic facilities while still restricting access to private areas.

The facade acts as a three dimensional manifestation of the curved circulation paths. Made of a translucent white veil, the facade undulates in response to the approaching public, gradually lifting to reveal glimpses of the interior arena. Upon reaching the midpoint, visitors experience a unique vantage point offering views of both arenas and the VIP restaurant in the larger bowl. This layering of public and private spaces, enhanced by strategic circulation and facade design, ensures the facility is functional, engaging, and integrated into its campus context.

Museum of Japanese Contemporary Art Second Year Studio I Fall 2021 I Noam Saragosti

This project consists of designing a museum for contemporary Japanese art in Downtown Los Angeles. The given site is in an infill condition with existing buildings on either side. This museum proposal was created as a circulation driven project that curates an immersive experience into the art for the entire duration that a person is in the museum. Each space is connected through a set of circulation tubes that contain various apertures that both filter light and also generate cross views throughout the building, allowing a person to see into spaces prior to entering them.

Along the tubes are different sized landings where a person can step out from the dark, enclosed space into a rather airy, floating space that receives natural light from above. These landings allow a person to view artwork in areas other than the galleries, and also serves as a space to pause along their journey through the museum. Additionally, the gallery spaces are treated in a similar manner to these landings as they also directly branch off of tubes. In turn this helps elongate the experience within the museum in order to detract from the rather long, narrow site boundary. Thus, this proposal creates a museum with a precurated experience with a continuous, cohesive circulation path so that the visitor is not left questioning what to view next.

Santa Ana Mixed-Use Housing Third Year Studio I Spring 2023 I Lyannie Tran

This proposal for a mixed-use housing complex is located in Downtown Santa Ana. Six stories of residential units- ranging from studio to two bedroom apartments- sit on top of a two story concrete podium which contains retail and civic program.

The puzzle-like shape of the units was created in order to generate an organizational principle that allowed any unit type to be able to be stacked on any unit vertically. This is because the units are linked together via a plumbing core.

Entries to the units were then pushed and pulled in the north and south directions to create variation and privacy. Many times, multi family housing can feel like a temporary situation due to its lack of seclusion. To counteract this, the entrances are thoughtfully enveloped by expansive porches, fostering a discreet environment that shields occupants from neighboring units. Furthermore, to augment this attribute, adjacent units feature alternate entry points, strategically designed to prevent direct visual contact between residents during ingress or egress.

Nevertheless, one of the benefits of multi-family housing is the sense of community. Therefore, to bring this back into the project, a complex circulation pathway was made with numerous resting alcoves that allow residents to meet new people as they circulate, but still protects the sanctity of each unit.

Mount Wilson Scientist Retreat Third Year Studio I Fall 2022 I Alexander Pang

This project consists of a scientist retreat located at Mount Wilson Observatory in Southern California. It combines a private and public aspect with living quarters for the scientists as well as an observation platform that is accessible to all. This proposal is comprised of a truncated box truss that sits on top of a rotated glass volume in order to generate a floating sensation. In turn, this generates a visitor deck that has a dramatic, suspended feeling, allowing visitors to experience the site in an exciting way.

Structurally, the project is supported on two columns and a retaining wall that forms the negative volume below and the parking above. This two story separation allows for the private and public entries to the building to be highly separate. The upper road intersects with the project in order to invite the public in with a seamless entry. Conversely, the scientists are able to use the lower road to enter the project in a secluded way.

A continuous standing seam facade envelops the whole project with operable windows for views downslope. Furthermore, the shape of the building narrows in plan in order to funnel program so that the building expands as the public experiences it and narrows as it becomes more private. Similarly, the butterfly roof is used to heighten the floor to ceiling height of the deck further adding to the dramatic feel as you enter under a threshold and helping to enhance the views. The truncated shape helps formulate a deliberate view south, framing what the visitors see and equally separating the private experience.

Fourth Year Topic Studio Abroad I Summer 2024 I Irma Ramirez Partners: Perrine Lee, Jeric Rosal, Michael Haddadin

Located in Ueno Park, Japan, this project creates an intermingled village of housing, learning, and recreation to bridge the generational gap in Japanese society. Ueno Park’s rich history and natural environment offer an ideal setting, fostering intergenerational connections by situating the elderly in a place they likely experienced with their own grandparents, while inviting younger generations to engage with this meaningful space. The park’s restorative qualities further enhance the project’s mission of healing and community.

The ground level is designed to resemble a traditional Japanese village, featuring two housing cores for the elderly. These include private units alongside a shared community kitchen and living space, providing a balance of privacy and connection to combat loneliness. Surrounding these cores are cultural education centers, such as calligraphy classes and kendo studios, where the elderly can teach traditional skills to the youth. This exchange is mutually beneficial: the youth learn without academic pressures, while the elderly build new relationships through shared passions.

Above, an innovative rooftop park reintroduces greenery removed at ground level, symbolizing the blending of generations.

This curvilinear space invites Ueno Park visitors into a vibrant communal area. Clerestory windows and open-to-below spaces provide glimpses into the activities below, sparking curiosity and encouraging exploration. As rooftop parks gain popularity in Tokyo for fostering community engagement, this project uses the typology to draw people from the city’s density into a serene yet dynamic environment, enriching the park’s legacy as a place of connection and rejuvenation.

Fifth Year Thesis Studio I 2024- 2025 I Robert Alexander

The built environment profoundly influences our mental health, shaping thoughts, emotions, and overall well-being. This thesis will investigate the relationship between architectural design and psychological health, emphasizing the critical need for intentional, human-centered spaces. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare workers face escalating mental health challenges due to heightened stress and demanding work conditions. Addressing this crisis requires a design approach that prioritizes their needs, promoting rejuvenation and resilience.

The project proposes a medical research center adjacent to the Los Angeles VA Hospital in Downtown Los Angeles. This site presents a unique opportunity to extend the hospital’s services while creating a supportive environment for healthcare professionals. The design will incorporate strategies such as biophilic design, intentional lighting, color theory, tactile materiality and noise reduction. Each of these elements enhance cognitive function, social interaction, and emotional well-being.

This thesis advocates for the transformative potential of architecture in mitigating stress and fostering mental health. By designing spaces that rejuvenate healthcare workers, the project highlights how thoughtful, wellness-focused environments can enhance both individual and community outcomes, setting a precedent for future medical facility design.
