OAKLAND AUDITORIUM

Located on the corner of Telegraph and 22 St in Oakland, this 8-story regional auditorium began with a series of shape studies. Using a truncated pyramid and sphere, a fan-like base and sphere dome is achieved for the interior of the auditorium that extends between 5 floors.

The cuts in the floor plated were generated from the shape of the truncated pyramid that extended beyond the lot parameters and ultimately helped define the shape of the envelope.

Programmatically speaking, the flexible gallery space, dressing rooms and rehearsal spaces were derived from extensions of the initial shapes, with an additional vertical core on the southern end of the building for elevator and emergency exits.

DOGPATCH CITY MARKET

The Dogpatch neighborhood sits on the corner of Tennessee and 20th Street, a historically industrial area that has now transformed into a residential and commercial area for young professional families.

In designing this City Market it was important to consider opportunities to bring this community together, which is otherwise primarily dominated by luxury apartment complexes.

To support the 40,000 sqft of flexible outdoor market space the first floor consists of small food businesses and flexible meeting space. The second floor holds two medical clinics, the third floor holds a large daycare space and the fourth is dedicated to the community with flexible office spaces.

The remaining program on each floor is continuous and dedicated to vertical circulation, bathrooms and storage to support both the market and the fixed program.

The overall shape of the fixed program was created by finding continuity between two structural grid systems which resulted in two overlapping rectangles. In that overlap, there was an opportunity to introduce a circulation axis which served both the market and the fixed program allowing continuous movement through the entire space of the building and between the two programs.

CHUNK MODEL STUDY

Beginning with an observational walk in the city of Oakland down Broadway St, the collages represent the permeability of the Cathedral Building, a wedge type building, with an emphasis on the misalignments of the aperatures as you walk down the street and look beyond to the other side.

A study of one-sided housing precedents in elevation resulted in exploding units at varying acute and obtuse angles along with projections off of existing aperatures that created interior volumes at the intersecting points.

SOCIAL HOUSING IN PALMA ELEVATION - RIPOLL TIZON STUDIO

This CHUNK MODEL STUDY features stacked units at varying degrees off of a central datum. This process begins to shape the interior and exterior spaces and define the vertical relationship of spaces between the proposed units.

By utilizing the initial elevation precedent studies as a generator for developing space inside-out and outside-in, the study model begins to define the part to whole relationship of different kinds of domestic space that can be used for larger housing projects.

FAMLY DWELLING

The project’s initial form was generated from the operative term embedding. The form quickly evolved through a series of operations of carving and extracting volumes that create a cast-and-mold relationship.The cast represents the inverse form of the originally embedded shapes creating a unique relationship between spaces in the interior.

The dwelling, designed for a family of four, two parents and two kids, allows for its inhabitants to participate in their interest away from the public programming on the east end of the lot.

While monolithic and volumetric on the exterior, the carvings created an intricate organizational interior structure for the dwellers that allows rotational movement throughout the building with a sense of privacy at every turn.
