CIVIC CENTER 4 THE PEOPLE IS A PROJECT LOCATED IN AMERICAS FINEST CITY, SAN DIEGO CALIFORNIA . AS A GROUP OF TWO MY PARTNER AND I WORKED TOGETHER IN CREATING A NEW WAY TO REVIVE THE CURRENT CIVIC CENTER LOCATED IN DOWNTOWN. WE FACED MAJOR ISSUES THAT CONSISTED OF HOW WE WOULD IGNITE A DEAD SPACE THAT NO ONE VISITED, AS WELL AS STILL TRY TO KEEP THE IMPORTANT GOVERNMENTAL BUILDINGS THAT WERE IN THIS AREA. WE DECIDED TO REMODEL ONE BUILDING OUT OF THE AREA WHILE OTHER PEERS FOCUSED ON OTHER BUILDINGS. OUR FIRST MAJOR MOVE WAS OPENING UP B STREET WHICH WOULD CREATE MORE POROSITY AND CREATE A MORE INVITING AREA. FOR OUR BUILDING WE DECIDED TO CREATE A SIX FLOOR BUILDING WHICH THE FIRST TWO FLOORS CONSISTED OF KEEPING THE GOLDEN HALL FOR THE PEOPLE OF SAN DIEGO. ON TOP OF THE GOLDEN HALL TWO MORE FLOORS WERE ADDED WHICH WERE TO CREATE EXHIBIT ROOMS FOR LOCAL SAN DIEGO ARTIST OF ANY TYPE AND THE LAST TWO FLOORS WERE FOOD COURTS WHERE PEOPLE FROM THE CIVIC CENTER CAN AND SAN DIEGO CAN GO AND GET A BITE.

GOLDEN HALL (1) :

MY PARTNERS AND MINE AMBITION WAS TO LEAVE THE GOLDEN HALL WHERE THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY ALREADY KNEW WHERE IT WAS. WE DECIDED TO JUST BRING IN A NEW SHAPE THAT WORKS WELL WITH OUR SITE AND STILL MAXIMIZE THE SPACE FOR THE FIRST FLOOR OF THE BUILDING.

EXHIBIT ROOM (3) :

AS THE NAME SHOWS, FOR THE THIRD FLOOR WE DECIDED TO CREATE AN EXHIBIT ROOM WHERE LOCAL SAN DIEGO ARTIST CAN COME AND SHARE THEIR WORK.

FOOD COURT (5) :

AT THE TOP WE DECIDED TO CREATE OUR FOOD COURTS FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF NOT HAVING A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE WOULD JUST GO AND LEAVE. WE DID IT THIS WAY SO PEOPLE CAN MAKE THERE WAY UP TO THE FOOD COURTS AND EXPERIENCE THE OTHER BUILDINGS.

GOLDEN HALL (2) :

FOR THE SECOND LEVEL OF THE GOLDEN HALL WE DECIDED TO CREATE MORE SEATING AND A PRIVATE BOOTHS FOR A MORE PRIVATE EVENT AREA.

EXHIBIT ROOM (4) :

AS THE NAME SHOWS, FOR THE THIRD FLOOR WE DECIDED TO CREATE AN EXHIBIT ROOM WHERE LOCAL SAN DIEGO ARTIST CAN COME AND SHARE THEIR WORK.

FOOD

COURT (6) :

AS WELL AS THE PREVIOUS FLOOR (5) THIS IS WHY WE DECIDED TO HAVE A FOOD COURT ON THE 6TH FLOOR.

AERIAL PLAZA VIEW

For this shot we decided to show an aerial view of how our gathering points and green areas would be seen from a birds eye perspective around the building we have created and the existing buildings.

GATHERING PIAZZA

As the named mentioned in the title of the photo my partner and I decided to create a gathering area in the center of the building where people from the civic center and people of the city can come a engage with each other whether this would be a business or social gathering.

GROUND LEVEL VIEW

Finally for this last shot we decided to show the audience an experience of how our building, gathering points and a green areas would all look in a ground level view.

EAST ENTRANCE

In this section we decided to show how B street would be opened as well as showing the connection bridge we created with another group and how our projects came together benefiting both sides and making another access to our building.

M. Y. M.

M.Y.M IS A NAME MY GROUP AND I DECIDED BY MIXING OUR FIRST NAMES ( MARINA, YAHIR & MIRIAM) THIS PROJECT WAS MADE IN OUR FOURTH YEAR ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS CLASS WHERE WE TOLD TO CREATE A BUILDING THAT FOCUSED MORE IN THE TECHNICAL ASPECT THAN THE EXTERIOR DESIGN IDEA. FOR THIS PROJECT WE WERE TOLD TO CREATE A HVAC SYSTEM, LIGHTING SYSTEM AND FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEM. AS WELL AS ADDING OTHER DESIGN IDEAS LIKE FLOOR PLANS AND SECTIONS. AS MENTIONED BEFORE OUR TEAM WAS HEAVILY FOCUSED MORE ON HOW THE BUILDING WOULD BE OPERATING MORE THAN THE ASCETICS OF THE BUILDING. WE DECIDE TO PROCEED BY CREATING A COMMERCIAL EXHIBITION FURNITURE STORE LOCATED IN SAN DIEGO CALIFORNIA. BY DOING THIS WE DECIDED TO PROCEED WITH A VAV SYSTEM (VARIABLE AIR VOLUME) FOR OUR HVAC SENSE THIS WAS THE MOST APPROPRIATE SYSTEM FOR THE TYPE OF BUILDING WE WERE CREATING.

FLOOR PLAN WITH DIMENSION

3/32" 1'-0"

HVAC Zones Public / Exhibit Mechanic / Storage

CONCEPT:

/ Offices

HERE IS THE FLOOR PLAN OF MYM FOR THIS SECTION OF THE PROJECT WE HAD TO THINK OF MAIN ENTRANCES FOR THE PUBLIC AND ALSO THINK OF THE PRIVATE ENTRANCES FOR THE WORKERS AND EVEN ADDED EMERGENCY EXITS AROUND THE BUILDING FOR ANYBODY TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS IN CASE OF ONE. WE ALSO SHOWED HOW OUR FURNITURE WOULD BE LAYOUT AROUND THE BUILDING THINKING OF WHAT FURNITURE WOULD GO IN THE FRONT AS WELL AS WHICH ONES WOULD GO IN THE BACK. FINALLY WE ADDED OUR DIMENSIONS SO THAT WAY PEOPLE COULD KNOW THE SIZE OF THE COMMERCIAL EXHIBITION SPACE AND WE EVEN DECIDED TO COLOR CODE THE AREAS OF HOW THE BUILDING WOULD FUNCTION, BY COLOR CODING WE WERE ABLE TO SHOW WHAT PARTS OF THE BUILDING ARE ACCESSIBLE TO PUBLIC AND ALSO SHOW WHICH AREAS ARE NOT. THIS LAYOUT WOULD HELP LATER ON TO DECIDE WHERE OUR HVAC, LIGHTING AND SPRINKLER SYSTEMS WOULD BE LAID OUT.

H V A C S Y S T E M

ADVANTAGE: THE SYSTEM OFFERS A HIGH DEGREE OF LOCAL TEMPERATURE CONTROL AT A MODERATE COST. IT IS ECONOMICAL TO OPERATE AND VIRTUALLY SELF-BALANCING.

DISADVANTAGE: VAV IS LIMITED IN THE RANGE OF HEATING OR COOLING DEMAND THAT MAY BE ACCOMMODATED WITHIN A SINGLE SYSTEM. WHEN ONE AREA OF A BUILDING NEEDS HEATING WHILE ANOTHER NEEDS COOLING, VAV SYSTEM CAN NOT SERVE BOTH AREAS WITHOUT A SECONDARY SYSTEM.

IT IS ECONOMICAL AND EACH ZONE CAN BE CONTROLLED TO A DIFFERENT TEMPERATURE AS WELL AS BEING THE MOST USED SYSTEM FOR EXHIBITS.

CONCEPT:

FOR THIS SECTION OF OUR PROJECT WE DECIDED TO ADD A LEGEND WITH THE TYPE OF LIGHTING THAT EACH SECTION OF THE BUILDING WILL HAVE. BY DOING THIS DIFFERENT TYPES OF LIGHTS WERE ADDED IN DIFFERENT SECTORS OF THE BUILDING SENSE WE WANTED TO SHOW SOMETHINGS IN DISPLAY AND OTHER THINGS THAT ARE APPRECIATED MORE WITH DIFFERENT KINDS OF LIGHTS.

FOR THIS FINAL SECTION OF THE PLANS FOR OUR BUILDING WE TOLD TO SHOW THE WATER LINE, SPRINKLERS AND THE WATER RADIUS OF HOW THE SYSTEM WOULD OCCUR IN CASE OF A FIRE, THIS HELPS ENVISION US THAT IF A EMERGENCY WOULD HAPPEN WHERE A FIRE WOULD OCCUR EVER SECTION OF THE BUILDING WOULD BE ABLE TO BE COVERED BY WATER AND BE ABLE TO PUT OUT THE FIRE.

THIS WAS MY QUARTERLY PROJECT THAT I HAD TO WORK ON BY MYSELF WHERE I HAD TO MAKE DIFFERENT ITERATIONS OF A HOSTEL ON TOP OF A PARKADE I WORKED ON THIS PROJECT BY CREATING 9 DIFFERENT ITERATIONS WITH DIFFERENT PATTERNS TO SEE HOW TO MAKE A 3-D VERSION OF THE HOSTEL AND CHOOSE ONE THAT WOULD BE THE BEST FITTING TO BE ABLE TO CREATE THE MOST FITTING HOSTEL WITH THE BEST ACCOMMODATIONS THAT ARE NEED IN A HOSTEL.

P A T T E R N S

ELECTED PATTERN

CONCEPT - FOR THIS SECTION OF MY PROJECT I HAD TO MAKE MULTIPLE ITERATIONS OF PATTERNS, AFTER THAT I HAD TO CHOOSE WHICH ONE I WOULD LIKE TO ADD ON TOP OF MY PARKADE FROM THIS PATTERN IS HOW I DECIDED TO MAKE MY HOSTEL AND YOU CAN SEE THE REFLECTION OF MY PATTERN ON THE RENDER WHERE MY HOSTEL IS ON TOP OF THE PARKADE.

MY FIFTH AND FINAL PROJECT IS ANKARA MASTERPLAN WHICH I NAMED AFTER A CERTAIN TYPE OF AFRICAN TEXTILE WHICH WAS MY CASE STUDY FOR REIGNITING THE 9 BLOCK DISTRICT OF ENCANTO IN SAN DIEGO CA TO CREATE A BLACKS ARTS AND CULTURE DISTRICT. TO GET TO THIS PROJECT I HAD TO GO INVESTIGATE THE DISTRICT AND AS SEEN IN MY PROJECT I DID A SITE VISIT AND SPOKE WITH SOME LOCALS OF ENCANTO, CONTINUING THIS I CREATED A SCALE SIZE COMPARISON OF CA STATE AND SAN DIEGO CITY SIZE WITH A VICINITY MAP WITH MAJOR HIGHWAYS IN THE MAP. I LATER DECIDED TO INVESTIGATE OTHER BLACK ARTS AND CULTURE DISTRICTS IN THE U.S. THAT HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL LIKE THE SIX SQUARE DISTRICT IN AUSTIN TX ETC BY INVESTIGATING ALL THE SUCCESSFUL IDEAS THE OTHER DISTRICTS HAD. I INCORPORATED IT TO ANKARA TO BE ABLE FOR IT TO BE SUCCESSFUL. FINALLY I FOCUSED IN EACH BUILDINGS AND CREATED MURALS IN THE BUILDINGS ALONG THE STRIP AND MURALS OF ALL TYPES OF AFRICANS AMERICANS, AFRO LATINOS ETC. THE STRIP WAS SPLIT INTO 4 SECTIONS WITH EACH SECTION TO HAVE A FOCUS TO HELP THE RESIDENTS OF ENCANTO FOR JOBS & EXPERIENCE, NETWORK, CULINARY AND HISTORY OF THE RICH AFRICAN AMERICAN CULTURE.

HISTORY

I

THE COMMUNITY OF ENCANTO, WHICH MEANS "ENCHANTMENT" IN SPANISH, WAS GIVEN ITS NAME BY ALICE KLAUBER IN 1889. ENCANTO HAS EMERGED INTO TWO COMMUNITIES OF NORTH AND SOUTH. NORTH ENCANTO IS BOUNDED ON THE NORTH BY MALLARD STREET, ON THE SOUTH BY AKINS AVENUE, ON THE EAST BY THE CITY OF LEMON GROVE AND ON THE WEST BY 60TH STREET. IMPERIAL AVENUE IS BETWEEN THE TWO COMMUNITIES. SOUTH ENCANTO IS BOUNDED ON THE NORTH BY IMPERIAL AVENUE, ON THE SOUTH BY SKYLINE DRIVE, ON THE EAST BY 69TH STREET AND ON THE WEST BY 60TH STREET

SITE ISSUES
