The Sports Arena at Hunter’s Point Academy of Art University. Graduate School of Architecture Master of Architecture - Thesis Proposal - August 07, 2009 - Student: Dan Hogman Intro Does an arena have a social agenda? My thesis proposes that the arena could interrelate social classes and co-relate all site conditions and neighborhood bounda- ries. It also proposes to activate the contaminated site through ephemeral program occupation. Intent Currently, Hunter's Point is comprised of lower income residences. This is a reflection of typical American segregation of lower class people displaced on the outskirts if inner city. The new proposal by Lennar include 12.000 new homes and over 2 million of commercial and office space. The attempt is to revitalize the area by bringing in young professionals. My proposal offers common physical activity, both indoor and outdoor, which is not influenced by social, economic, demographic status. Sports and competition are a tradition of human existence and is a culture that crosses all boundaries. Hunter’s point residents are highly segregated. It ranges from lower class, low income with an influx of young professionals. My thesis project attempts to balance the highly segregated economic classes and future occupants that will reside at Hunters Point, by introducing sports and common outdoor activities. My agenda is to utilize sports and competition as a mechanism to reduce the experience gap between professionals and ama- teurs. The arena is sited in a newly developed neighborhood and is serving the community, by providing space for both residents and professionals. My designed facility is flexible at multiple scales and could be configured for professionals, amateurs or a combination of both.This project is renewing a highly radioactively contaminated site. Despite the concrete topping slab which covers some of the pollution, the program is elevated off the ground and away from the contamination. The program is devel- oped on a series of earth mounds or on elevated platform, to create a buffer betweenpolluted land and occupants. The arena itself evolves as a continuation of the site landscape, which, by alternating a series of artificial mounds with open fields, mimics the tectonics of San Francisco. Hunter’s Point Naval Shipyard and nearby Candlestick Point are the location for the pla nned $2 billion remake into a residential neighborhood and business district - and possibly the construction of a new 49ers stadium. The proposed development plan would take 720 acres of public land - an area twice the size of Treasure Island - and build up to 10,000 units of market-rate and affordable housing, retail shops and an office park ringed by 300 acres of parkland. It would also rebuild a nearby, run-down public housing development. Research & Development (R&D) Innovation District for Emerging Technologies. The Research & Development precinct, lying east of Fisher Street along the shoreline, contains approximately 2 million square feet of space focused on emerging technologies. Hunters Point Village Center Together with Fisher Street’s mixed-use retail and Artist’s Colony, will be the focus of activity at Hunters Point. Hunters Point Hunters Point is primarily a residential community. The predominant building typology is a combination of stacked flat four story buildings and three story townhomes. Several eight story buildings and two towers line the edge of the central ‘Park Street’ to create a street wall that highlights the street’s community importance and frames views to the bay. Stadium & Community Sports Field Complex A new sporting complex for the 49ers and the community A new 69,000-seat stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers, will be constructed south of Spear Avenue. The stadium will be surrounded on its north side by a major civic plaza and its west and south sides by parking, a majority of which will be dual-use surfaces, available for parking on game days and a variety of field sports on non-game days. Sports field Complex The Sports Field Complex will serve the needs of the local community as well as attract users from throughout the region, hosting youth sporting events. This large facility will include a variety of soccer/football, baseball and volleyball fields, as well as batting cages, warm-up fields, a field house, restrooms and food concessions. The critical mass of the fields in combination with the adjacent Active Urban Recreation Area, waterfront parks, trails, picnic and barbeque areas and other leisure offerings make this an ideal sporting complex. Grasslands Ecology Park at Hunters Point The State Park lands will be extended beyond Yosemite Slough to incorporate the southern shoreline of Hunters Point at Parcel E. This area will contain native Eco-Gardens, passive lawns, native grasslands, windbreak groves and landforms offering views of the bay and shoreline habitats. Candlestick North An urban village with mid and high rise homes, shopping and parks Candlestick North is the most concentrated community, with the greatest number of homes, animated neighborhood streets, energetic parks and an anchoring main street filled with shops and services. Candlestick Center The vibrant mixed use core of Candlestick Point Candlestick Center is the heart and focus of activity for Candlestick Point. It is a mixed-use district with regional shops and services, offices, hotel, performance center and residential mid-rises. Candlestick South A contemporary version of the early California beach communities Candlestick South, like many early California beach communities, derives its character from the views and activity of the beach. This is established with a fine-grained block pattern, low buildings, numerous pathway connections to the shoreline, and a central City park that connects the shoreline back to the retail BRT street and creates expansive views to the bay. Heritage Park Heritage Park honors the history of the Hunters Point Shipyard and the people who worked there. Interpretive elements and possibly a museum will describe the rich history of the shipyard and its role in the Hunters Point/Bayview community. Hunters Point Waterfront Promenade This once industrial waterfront becomes a sequential landscape of interpretive outdoor urban rooms. Industrial artifacts along the promenade provide evidence of the historic qualities of the industrial waterfront and will be incorporated into tree bosques, seating areas, lawn panels, artworks and interpretive grassland gardens. The Last Rubble As the Last Rubble Area will be located adjacent to a substantial urban population, this area will be transformed into a new center for the State Park, with a wide variety of program elements.

Mission Statement
IntroDoes an arena have a social agenda? My thesis proposes that the arena could interrelate social classes and co-relate all site conditions and neighborhood bounda-ries. It also proposes to activate the contaminated site through ephemeral program occupation.
IntentCurrently, Hunter's Point is comprised of lower income residences. This is a reflection of typical American segregation of lower class people displaced on the outskirts if inner city. The new proposal by Lennar include 12.000 new homes and over 2 million of commercial and office space. The attempt is to revitalize the area by bringing in young professionals. My proposal offers common physical activity, both indoor and outdoor, which is not influenced by social, economic, demographic status. Sports and competition are a tradition of human existence and is a culture that crosses all boundaries. Hunter’s point residents are highly segregated. It ranges from lower class, low income with an influx of young professionals. My thesis project attempts to balance the highly segregated economic classes and future occupants that will reside at Hunters Point, by introducing sports and common outdoor activities.
My agenda is to utilize sports and competition as a mechanism to reduce the experience gap between professionals and ama-teurs. The arena is sited in a newly developed neighborhood and is serving the community, by providing space for both residents and professionals. My designed facility is flexible at multiple scales and could be configured for professionals, amateurs or a combination of both.This project is renewing a highly radioactively contaminated site. Despite the concrete topping slab which covers some of the pollution, the program is elevated off the ground and away from the contamination. The program is devel-oped on a series of earth mounds or on elevated platform, to create a buffer betweenpolluted land and occupants. The arena itself evolves as a continuation of the site landscape, which, by alternating a series of artificial mounds with open fields, mimics the tectonics of San Francisco.
Hunter’s Point Naval Shipyard and nearby Candlestick Point are the location for the pla nned $2 billion remake into a residential neighborhood and business district - and possibly the construction of a new 49ers stadium.

The arr ival is at an elevated platform. For the f i rst t ime, bui ld ing is a l lowed to be seen ent irely . A smal l p laza is a l igned with the two opening in the bui ld ing skin, a l lowing v iews to the bui ld ing and through i t .
The volume is designed to seamlessly blend with the landscape, by appear ing to be a cont inuat ion of i t . A ser ies of mounds help decreasing the massiveness of the new Arena.
The access route to the Arena is waving through a ser ies of art i f ic ia l earth mounds, which are part ia l ly b locking the bui ld ing and are channel ing v is ion on speci f ic zones.

The earth mound forms a platform that matches the elevat ion of the deck. This mound blocks the v iews toward the bottom part of the bui ld ing, so the bui ld ing appears shorter . Access is provided v ia a br idge – th is is the f i rst spot that a l lows the bui ld ing to be seen from bottom up.

Viewing platform wraps around most of the bui ld ing. There are areas there platform connect to bottom slab v ia ramps or sta irs and cant i levers over the water in where v iews are better .
The platform helps breaking the massing and channels the v iews toward the top of the structure.A prominent e lement is a c l imbing wal l , located between the water and the bui ld ing and facing the bui ld ing.
The bui ld ing is open on both ends for cross vent i lat ion. I t takes advantages of the breeze, as i t is s i ted at the water edge. The cl imbing wal l serves as a wind barr ier at the entrance and acts as a mini-stage, where you can be seen or you can see into the bui ld ing, whi le c l imbing vert ical ly .
