2011-2012, Graduate Thesis StudioLocation: Southeast Portland, Oregon: SE Water & Mill

Professor: Gerald Gast

Opportunity: The studio is a self-written program that is located on an urban waterfront site. The Portland waterfront is currently fragmented with a hard water edge, and this project breaks down the edge by allowing access to both natural and manmade water elements.

Response: The Portland Aquatic Community Center (PACC) is a large-scale aquatic community and recreation center for people across Portland that has a unique user base because it provides a unique amenity: access to the Willamette. This project will be developed as a public amenity for the City of Portland Parks and Recreation Department.

This project holds down this point along the paths, stitching together the land, the Esplanade, and the water into a cohesive element.

This building is part of a loop of movement along the waterfront. Each important site, including OMSI, the Rose Garden, and the marina is an anchor point that is creating a tension moving people from one node to the next.

Project Objectives:• Connect people to the water• Create a loop of movement with downtown:

interact with Tom McCall Waterfront Park• Provide a unique amenity to Portland• Be a catalyst as a large public function for both

tourists and residents

The building is sited where land meets water on an artificially filled site that was once part of the river.

The building meets the water and arcs over the esplanade, integrating with the public activity of the city. The building and the site create points of access to the Willamette.

PACC attracts people from across Portland to connect with the river and the community.

The typical waterfront treatment in downtown Portland is a hard, impermeable edge between water and land. This cuts off access to the river.

Portland Aquatic Community Center breaks down this hard edge and allows access to the river.

Midterm Model Photos

Site and City Context: There have been incremental steps made in the past three decades to make the east bank a more usable place. Between OMSI, the East Bank Esplanade, and now the new transit and pedestrian bridge, the character of the east waterfront is becoming public and active. This character will be strengthened in the new waterfront plan, the next step of which will be a the Portland Aquatic Community Center north of OMSI.

Proposed Site Concept:The building is sited where land meets water on an artificially filled site that was once part of the river. The building meets the water and arcs over the esplanade, integrating with the public activity of the city. The building and the site create points of access to the Willamette. A large-scale rainwater collection and filtration pool cuts between the building and the park. The seam between land and water is blurred, creating a continuous experience.

This project mends the disjointed urban fabric by providing an anchor point along the waterfront, connecting people to the water. PACC creates a tactile experience by drawing people from downtown and creating a loop of activity with Tom McCall Waterfront Park. This civic space is a place for people to come together to engage with the water for recreational, social, and educational uses, serving as a center for the community. It combines aspects of healthy living (exercise and relaxation) through interaction with nature, water and community.

Building Concept: The concept of the convergence of land and water carries through to the building. The curtain walls allow people to visually connect to the river and land, while the openings in the roof allow ample natural light. The pools are arranged in a linear fashion, allowing a visual connection between the spaces.

The project, located north of OMSI, explores the scenario of the I-5 freeway being removed as a long-term plan. The site can be developed now and expanded upon with the removal of the freeway.

OMSI Expansion Master Plan by ZGF

Spatial Organization

The building sits on a site equivalent in length to two Portland city blocks. The visual continuation of the three streets that run into the project became a driving spatial organizer for the project. As these 60 foot wide axes (green) change from streets to walkways, they become points of access to the water, defining the building into two sections.

In the north/south direction, the central interior corridor (yellow) provides access to the pools on the west and the support/secondary spaces on the east. These interior axes are distinguished by unobstructed skylights above.

Structure

The main structural elements of PACC are large steel trusses that span the width of the space. Steel is used due to its efficiency in spanning the large distances over the pools. The 25’ bays created by the distribution of the bold blue trusses provide a rhythm to the long, linear spaces.

Professor: Will Ullman

Opportunity: Cohousing is a housing typology that involves creating a unique type of community with many distinct advantages. While it has been done in Europe for many years, its adaptation to the United States requires thoughtful consideration of priorities.

Response: In order for cohousing to be a viable option to single-family housing, a level of privacy, personal space, and outdoor space must be maintained while integrating the community.

Fall 2011, 2nd Year Graduate StudioDuration: 9 weeksLocation: Southeast Portland, Oregon: SE Belmont & SE 11th Ave

Professor: Cynthia Bankey

Opportunity: Located in the Central Eastside of Portland, the site is in a historically industrial and food service sector of the city. In 1910, a warehouse was constructed for a farmer’s market and two restaurants. The warehouse was closed in the late 1990’s and later burned down under questionable circumstances.

The prescribed program explores the reintroduction of light industry, food services, urban farming, and live/work spaces back into the historically colorful neighborhood.

Response: Portland is in need of a large, indoor public market that can be open year round. This will be provided on the site, as well as live-work spaces for urban farmers above the farmer’s market. This program mix brings together the complete lifecycle of local agriculture (see diagram on next page).

Spring 2010, 4th Year ProjectDuration: 10 weeksLocation: Phoenix, Arizona: Downtown at Adams & 2nd

Professor: Michael Underhill

Opportunity: “The efforts to bring more dense housing into the central areas of Phoenix, Tempe and Scottsdale have had mixed success. The most disappointing aspect has been the incorporation of mixed-use, which have not yet worked well in greater Phoenix, and this has stymied our desire to become more urban.” The studio’s goal was to “design housing in conjunction with other urban uses that functions well and has some of the desirable qualities of detached housing.”

Response: Phoenix’s uniquely pleasant weather provides a climate prone to outdoor living, a benefit achieved in single-family detached homes. In order for people to be willing to live in denser housing, it must have the same benefits of detached housing and provide various outdoor spaces ranging from public to private.

Opportunity: Presented with the chance to create a self-sustaining community of 25 people (a “latifundia”) in an artistic community comprised of mainly adults.

Response: Youth and adults live and learn together at the center where they explore self-chosen topics of interest. Through experience-based learning, the youth attain their high school degree and the adults expand their knowledge and remain connected with the area. The diverse group brought together bridges technology and art through innovation. Done as part of an equal collaborative team.

New Residential/Retail/Theater to bring two groups together

Pull people from downtown to the waterfront with new pedestrian connections and an improved Naito Parkway

Big idea for study area There is a unique opportunity here to showcase local artists because of the proximity to University of Oregon’s White Stag Building and the Saturday Market. The proposed development will improve the aspects of the site that are already succeeding such as the Saturday Market and existing Waterfront Park. This area will be geared towards both attracting a younger artistic crowd and increasing the amount of residential space downtown, especially for students, artists, and mid-range income. The sites facing Naito Parkway will work to enliven the Waterfront Park and create a more pedestrian-friendly street. Naito will be reduced in size and have generous sidewalks on both sides to increase the waterfront atmosphere. In addition the sidewalks on both sides of the park, there will be increased connections through the park to the retail district past Naito.

Proposed major land use actives, including catalysts The Saturday Market and new performance center will both act as catalysts to bring people into the site. The improved waterfront park will serve as a major magnet bringing people from downtown, through the site, to the park.

Relationship to Downtown Portland This would be a natural transition between the business district of the south and the creative and social district above Burnside. This proposal will bridge the gap between these two di�erent areas and help to create social interaction between di�erent kinds of people. There will be a large concentration of high-rise residential development towards the southern busi-ness district of the site. By creating mixed-use activity throughout the site, more consistent, round-the-clock use will be estab-lished.

Public Places, Open Spaces--Indoor and Outdoor No additional large ground level open spaces will be added as there is already an impressive park on the site. Rather, renewed public spaces and rede�ned street fronts will help to improve the existing park by bringing di�erent people and events to the area. The largest district of public spaces is the already popular Saturday Market along Ankeny. The already popu-lar public space at Skidmore Fountain along Ankeney Street will be renewed with a new administrative building containing art galleries with attached retail where vendors could exhibit all week. Therefore, this space could act as a permanent showcase for the Saturday Market.

Fall 2010, 1st Year Graduate Urban Design ElectiveDuration: 4 weeksLocation: Portland, Oregon: Downtown Waterfront

Professor: Gerry Gast

Opportunity: In many cities, waterfront locations are utilized as high-density areas because of their desirable location. In Portland however, the majority of land along the western bank of the Willamette River has remained underdeveloped with an undefined connection to the downtown core. For many reasons, the area surrounding the Morrison Bridgehead is a dying district in a lively city.

Response: The lengthy off-ramps from the bridge are removed and replaced by large iconic buildings which serve as a more appropriate entrance to the city. On 1st Avenue, the lightrail-only street opens up cars and pedestrians which is achieved by splitting the light rail between 1st Avenue and 2nd Avenue. This simple shift opens up both streets, as well as the entire district, to increased amounts of traffic and creates a 24-hour neighborhood, the key to creating a thriving area.

Opportunity: Reinvigorate the historic Pioneer and Military Memorial Cemetery in Downtown Phoenix.

Response: The movement through the wall and site reflect a progression through levels of grieving: from unprepared, to reflection, to grief and finally to recovery. The front of the graves are indented into the ground to create a tangible personal space for each person. The blue jacaranda leaves fill the graves with vibrant colors with the changing of seasons.
