Emergent Regeneration
The architectural design as a whole both in plan and in section are meant to flow in a symbiotic relation between both structures while also providing two different envelopes and spaces. The fire resilience workshop (Maintenance Building) is a 625 sq.ft. enclosed space plus a 625 sq.ft. covered porch area which serves the purpose of an outdoor gazebo/ picnic area as well as storage/ garage space for the necessary maintenance workers that are needed to maintain the systems proposed in the long run. The structural metal framework is based off traditional truss design, however the system is taking the angles to a more triangular extreme to provide a unique structural experience to the medium sized building.
The second building (Multipurpose Building) is also divided in half by functions, however it is a fully enclosed building. 625 sq.ft. of the building is dedicated
Building Plan
to the mixed use / multipurpose space due to the need for an ever changing and versatile space. The other half includes a 350 sqft. foyer, Two 100 sq.ft. restrooms & a 75 sq.ft. Mechanical Room. Similar to the other building the triangular truss system gives a similarity between both building but also expresses an individuality between the overall form.
Due to there being a serious amount of earthwork with the proposed designs as well as the fact that sustainability and fire resiliency are at the forefront of contemporary design, the proposed materials for both buildings and the immediate site around it are as followed:
• Metal Deck Roofing
• Earthen Compressed Blocks (From On Site Earth)
• Half & Half Earth Concrete Mix
• Oyl Permeable Gravel
