Inspired by the complex biomolecular structures of things found in nature , the agile classroom aims to accomodate a rapidly flexible construction for educational purposes with the nodes or connections as the most important part holding everything together. Inherently, triangulation is formed when nodes are connected; hence making the structure strong. Specifically a hexagonal shape is adopted to form the classroom, core, and jungle jim spaces.

The members that make up these spaces are made from recycled aluminum tube that are mass produced and offer flexible possibilities that are trucked to the site and bolted at the site which then offer various dynamic, flexible spaces. There is a great emphasis on teaching kids about environ-mental protection. For example, the green wall facade encourages kids to participate in by putting their own plants onto the green wall. The green wall system not only allows the extension of the existing community garden; but also gives character and identity to each individual classroom. Also, this facade treatment reduces solar heat gain and minimizes energy costs. Moreover, energy costs are reduced with the integration of the Panelite IGU-ETFE panel system that skin the structure. This system not only allow lots of daylight into the classroom; but also helps maintain good insulative properties.

unfold-fold-undeskA plane that folds into a chair, desk, shelves and structural supports that is rapidly deployable and accomodates multiple academic uses infused with technology to further the advancement in education.

In designing a desk or workstation, the focus was on elementary kids. Doing so will enable these kids to further enhance their knowledge in art, science, math, English, and possibly P.E. Since elementary kids are schooled mostly in one room for the whole day by one teacher teaching the various subjects, it was fitting to design a flexible workstation that would fit their needs as they grow physically, mentally, and socially.

chaoyang dormitory. taichung, taiwan

Chaoyang University of Technology in Taichung, Taiwan needs a third dormitory housing 1000 students in walking and biking proximity to the school. The solution is to create an urban oasis for students after a busy day; but still maintain the retail edge condition for community users. Creating this urban oasis rely on three aspects: safety, sanctuary, and society. A key aspect of this goal is to provide a lightwell in each cluster of rooms to not only allow sufficient light; but more importantly, to maximize natural cross ventilation necessary for a humid climate.

cal poly engineering bridgecal poly pomona, ca

Cal Polys School of Engineering and College of Architecture have collaboratively joined together to teach a studio in designing a new bridge that would connect Engineering Buildings 9 and 17. What I propose is to have a single element that can be used in multiple ways per say in plan, section, and its inherent structure. For example, two (2) arches combined in plan can also be found in the columns of the bridge. The design of the bridge also draws from its contextual surroundings. For example, it adopts a rib-like and modular system as seen in Building 9 yet evokes a curvilinear language and form similar to Building 17. The design also integrates an all in one system wherein the ribs in the middle act as vertical supports for handrails and benches at the upper level and the ribs also act as beams to connect the main spines of the bridge under the deck. I was fortunate to have my design chosen as 1 of 4 bridges that got carried through the final during the academic quarter that first started out with 20 students and 20 bridge designs. Being the design team leader, I oversaw and managed 4-5 design studio classmates and structural engineering colleagues. It was an enjoyable learning experience; because it was my first introduction as to how architects and consultants work as a team.

Site Context:Long Beach California is a coastal community in the greater Los Angles area. It is a diverse community in both its cultural history and currently its demographic composition. The site for the Long Beach Sustain-ability Training Center (LBSTC) is located away from the main downtown core and is in the heart of a mixed community of small commercial and retail stores, as well as, being bordered by residential communities around the site. Therefore the approach to designing this green technology educational facility is to create a facility derived from the environmental, social, and cultural factors affecting the site. The environmental factors, such as sun and wind, can be seen from the form of the building. Its C-shape courtyard design allows for daylighting into classrooms, creation of outdoor learning environments, and places of gathering. Furthermore this site context provided a starting point for the design of the LBSTC.

Design Focus: Passive Strategies integrated in a Courtyard DesignTo create a building that lives up to what it teaches, our focus was on passive strategies. Our intent is to create a comfortable learning environment for the students, as well as, the faculty and staff who utilize the building every day. The design process was a reiterative process in which a multitude of options were created and evaluated to ascertain what methodologies would work best for the site. The overall approach of the LBSTC followed an integrated approach in the design and siting of the building. This can be seen in the use of passive strategies from the integrated architecture, as well as, the overall orientation of the build-ing. The Building was angled on the site at 15 from true north, which was determined through various sun studies to be an optimum angle for passive solar design strategies.

Natural Ventilation and Daylighting:By creating a building mass in a C formation, the design offers a large central courtyard providing a great opportunity for students to enjoy Long Beachs mild climate. This mild climate also allowed the opportunity for circulation to be moved to the exterior of the building, thus reducing the overall need to condition these spaces. The total enclosed area is about 22,000 s.f. which accounts for a 10,000 s.f. reduction that would need to be heated and cooled throughout the year. In conjunction with this was the idea of natural ventilation and daylighting as integral parts of our passive strategies. To provide natural ventilation, spaces were carved out from the building mass to allow for the cool ocean breezes, which come from the North-West, to pass through the site. This created the ability to eliminate the need for an air-conditioning component that would normally be needed in other climates.

Day lighting studies were carried out in the design process to evaluate differing lighting conditions that were being considered. The results from these studies were further used to change and adapt the design of the building. Early results of two differing conditions allowed us to size the windows for the classrooms to achieve comfortable lighting levels across the room, these values from 2% in the summer time to 7% in the winter time. The higher 7% value shows that this also allowed for passive heating to occur. Based on the psychometric chart that was obtained through the use of Climate Consultant we determined that the need for other passive heating strategies would be needed. The buildings architecture responded to this through the integrated sunspace on the southern wall which serves 2 purposes. By slanting this wall, it provides built in overhangs to prevent overheating in the summertime. The second function this wall accounts for is the need for additional passive heating in the winter time. By creating a glazed cavity, the intent is to create an environment to allow for warm air to accumulate. This in turn would be channeled to various rooms by conventional ductwork and high efficiency fans which would reduce the overall demand for conventional heating.

Sustainable Construction Methods: In addition to complement these strategies, the overall building construction methods and systems that are also critical in the design. The building construction consists of a modified access floor and curtain wall system. New building systems such as the Metal Stud Crete allows for a thin exterior concrete finish as well as a hollow 6 cavity for greater insulation capacity which created an overall R-value of just over 44. The roofing system also achieved an R-value of 31.5.

Outdoor Learning Environments: To further take advantage of Long Beachs mild climate, shop classrooms were situated on the site and in the building to account for exterior learning environments. This can be seen in various locations. For example, on the lower level, shop classrooms were arranged so that each classroom would have access to outdoor areas where experiments could be conducted. On the lower roof, a solar field was created to allow students to test out different systems and configurations. In addition, a green roof was also created to accommodate testing to be carried out by students at the LBSTC.

Because of the passive strageties that were employed through the design of the building our peak demand for electricity was 21.36 kW in throughout the year. Based on this we have provided a 28 kW array of Solar Panels to provide this electricity in the quest to create A Net Zero Building. Therefore the LBSTC will serve the community of Long Beach to provide a destination for the Research and Implementation of Sustainable Technologies.

Upon testing the 1/2 mock-up physical model of the classroom in a daylight simulation, the design was reconfigured to provide better daylight distribution. Compared to the daylight simulation model analysis performed, these solar studies (on the right) were conducted through the Radiance plugin through Eco-Tect. By shifting the southern facing windows more to the center of the class-room and adding curtain wall glazing on the north side, there is now a better distribution of daylight throughout the whole class-room.

By using Equest, an energy simulation tool, the design was evaluated for energy consumption. By optimizing various components of the building, the peak demand is 21.36 kW per day. To supply this amount of electricity to the building, the necessary array would need to be sized at 28 kW capacity, due to energy lost to various factors. The PV Watts calculation in the center demonstrates the use of a 28 kW system with 1-axis tracking to provide 21.6 kW per day just enough to meet the peak demand. Considerably, to provide thermal comfort for the users of the training center, empahsis was placed on passive stragaties to heat and cool the building. In the Psychometric chart above, stragaties for Passive cooling were considered, these are: Sun Shading, High Thermal Mass, and Natural Ventilation.

By fol lowing i ts impulse to con-t inuously renew itself , Downtown Los Angeles has neglected some of i ts exceptional histor ic bui ld-ings. Specif ical ly, Broadway is an attract ive area for adaptive reuse because of i ts numerous unused bui ldings and also takes advantage of the Br inging Back Broadway in it iat ive. Combined with this , i s the high growth prof i le of the hospital i ty industry; that however, st i l l lacks the proper cul inary education needed to equip workers in the industry. Often t imes, this leads to low-paying jobs and unski l led labor. Therefore, i t i s important to give students an opportunity and a better learning environment to become more knowl-edgeable in the f ield. A cul inary school with a restaurant wi l l serve this goal. Herein, the school wi l l act as an en-larged demonstrat ion k itchen showing the cul inary processgrow, prep, cook, serve. This process is shown through i ts mult i -level greenhouse; k i tchen labs which teach cul inary arts and patisser ie; instruct ional classrooms teaching hospital i ty management; and a restaurant and banquet faci l i ty for publ ic use. Overal l , the main goals dr iv ing the design are the celebrat ion of the old through contrast with the new, exposure of k i tchen labs and ut i l i t ies, and demonstrat ion as an interactive teaching method to students and the publ ic.
