Master’s Final Project: Recalibrating the Senses: A Healing Center for Sex Trafficking Victims

Tokyo’s failure to meet the Trafficking Protection Act’s minimum standards for the elimination of human trafficking resulted in its rating as Tier2 in the 2007 U.S. Department of State’s Trafficking in Person’s Report. Thus, this calls for the much-needed healing center for victims of sex trafficking to heal and transition back into society in Tokyo, Japan. Therefore, this thesis investigates ways of achieving convalescence through space, by recalibration of the senses. Convalescence refers to the gradual recovery of both health and strength after either illness or trauma. In this case, victims of sex trafficking were continuously forced to work in haptic environments that include physical and psychological abuse over a prolonged period. Consequently, these victims are debilitated in their senses; causing negative memories, loss of dignity, and cynicism that comes with it. By recognizing these issues, architectural space is manipulated to reverse this negative process of the victim.

Studio II: MCAD Graduate School Expansion

In Design Studio II, students were asked by Minneapolis College of Arts and Design (MCAD) to develop design studies for their graduate school expansion. The program required a gallery, art cellar, life lab, class room, studio, and residential space. The site is across from the MCAD campus and facing a high trafficked street. The angled mullions provides a simple pattern that informs and directs the visitors and college community to the main entrance. From the interior, the angled mullions appears as if it was reaching out towards the MCAD campus; thus, developing a visual connection to the main campus.

HOLISTIC PROGRAMMING groups programs together, minimizing program square footage requirements and decreasing circulation space to minimize heating and cooling loads

CLASSROOMS - adaptable daylight and ventilation based on season and program + daylighting: southern light captured through clerestories and diffused by an interior light shelf; northern windows allow diffused light + shading: interior manual shades allow for program versatility + partition walls topped with clerestories following the roof line allow light sharing between rooms as well as increase the illusion of a fl oating roof plane encompassing all the programs + natural ventilation: larger operable north facing windows draw summer wind through the clerestories, venting at the bottom of the wall and breeze way to cool the space + varied window placement in each classroom differentiates the spaces from one another

MS STUDIO - ambient daylight diffused and unifi ed by exterior louver system + thermal heat gain through a south facing water trombe wall + daylighting: ambient glow created through water trombe wall to the south and diffused northern light from windows sized based on workspace; interior shading devices control the illuminance levels + passive heating: louver system can cover trombe not allowing high summer sun to heat the wall mass or open up to fully expose the trombe to the winter sun and heat the space + visually connected to the architecture studio space in the existing third fl oor, following Holl’s original ideas of interconnected spaces + natural ventilation: sliding doors in the trombe open to capture the summer breeze as well as a physical access to the rooftop garden

BREEZEWAY - alluring light through a varying layered wall system that changes with the seasons and the user preferences to create a dynamic indoor/outdoor sun fi lled space + layered paths of interconnected circulation relate to the courtyard that looks up into this space + the south facing wall is a layered system of trombe, bifold fl at louver shade screens, and sliding glass doors + natural ventilation: the sliding glass doors open to allow the summer breeze into this space and further into the classrooms as the roof becomes an overhang to shade the summer sun + passive heating: thermal heat gain is collected in the water trombe wall panels in the circulation space and spills back into the classrooms, lobby and demo areas + shading: the trombe wall can be completely covered by the louver shade screens in the summer to negate the thermal heat gain when not needed but open up in a bi-fold door system to fold fl at and out of the way in the winter to fully expose the trombe to the winter sun, the operability of this wall allows user control and a multitude of options for maximum comfort

OFFICES + CONFERENCE - ambient daylight diffused and unifi ed by exterior louver system + daylighting: south and eastern light is drawn deeper into the spaces by clerestories, an a interior light shelf and partition walls lowered to allow light sharing + shading: daylight is managed by the louver system angling down 20 degrees to block the high summer sun while letting in the lower winter sun and still maintaining a view + natural ventilation: natural ventilation is drawn through the operable clerestories by the lower and larger western operable windows to allow for primary user control

COURTYARD + changing the experience of the courtyard by replacing the southern clerestories with an additional clerestory facing north creates a more diffused ambient space that lends itself well to the main programs of this space: working, meeting and pin-ups + the columns are redesigned to maximize the window sizes and maximize the possibilities for natural ventilation, where the current shape blocks light to all corners of the courtyard + the circulation space both indoors and outdoors on the third fl oor creates a visual connection between the spaces and the existing circulation in the original Rapson Hall in line with Holl’s ideas of interconnected programs + where the east light is still let in, yet partially minimized, the courtyard will look up to the rooftop garden as a reminder of season and the weather and will draw users up to the addition + natural ventilation: in reconfi guring the courtyard roof it allowed for the lab space to vent into the courtyard to either passively cool or heat the space dependent on the season; the new north clerestories vent to let the hot air out during the summer as heat will rise to them and create wind fl ow down and through the courtyard

ROOF GARDEN + passive cooling: an extensive rooftop garden helps cool the building through evapotranspiration and therefore lessens heat loss of the existing Rapson Hall + positively effect existing environment: gardens help to reduce the heat island affect by reducing air pollutants, green house gas emissions, carbon emissions (by storing them); they also absorb storm water to lessen runoff and become habitat for wildlife + shading: the rooftop garden will help shade the warmer summer sun from reaching the courtyard on its east and will die down in the winter to allow in the winter sun

LOBBY + DEMO - alluring light through top lighting to fi ll spaces spilling into circulation with light + daylighting: clerestories pop-up to frame views of the sky and allow light into interior corners; structural allows the roof to appear to fl oat over the program + program: 3 different lobby + demo spaces allow for versatility as well as an orientation, each treated slightly different allows for the main lobby to be a more formal gallery, similar to the HGA gallery in the Holl addition, lobby adjacent to the offi ces and classrooms for professors and students to share, and a more informal space outside of studio for peer reviews and informal pin-ups with critics + by extending the demo and lobby space from the fi rst fl oor Holl HGA gallery up to the third fl oor link we integrated the existing Rapson Hall with the addition and balanced the whole by creating the main entrance to the new mnZED lab on the opposite side of Rapson Hall + southwest corner window of the main lobby frames a view to downtown Minneapolis + the main lobby opens onto a balcony under an arbor as a place to experience the skin by being within it as well as a space to get fresh air along the western facade and a framed view to Minneapolis + the balcony diffuses light for the lobby as well as giving the light the character of the skin; a relationship is created between the inside and outside connecting the addition to its site on Rapson Hall, in the University of Minnesota and the city of Minneapolis + stairs from the original Rapson Hall lead to 3rd fl oor lobby spaces that are moments of relief in the mnZED lab program plan; the main stair is distiguished by a skylight that fl oods the stair well with light LABS - adaptable daylight through layered walls + program: integrating the labs in the south wing creates a holistic work setting while minimizing the footprint; the courtyard roof shape allows this wing to be maximized with out separate circulation because it does not push program up to the existing courtyard; pin- up space is created along the north wall while being lit by diffused north light through the clerestory, giving the user views both down into the courtyard as well as up to the sky + passive heating: southern facing trombe wall maximizes solar gain on the lower and upper portion of the wall while the center opens as a window to allow views and program needs, such as daylighting studies + shading: exterior louver system helps to negate the trombe wall and windows south exposure in the summer when the heat gain is unwanted by only blocking the high summer sun angles + natural ventilation: the south facing windows are operable to allow the summer wind to travel through the space and either vent up to the clerestories to the north or down into the courtyard to help cool that space; the east wall opens through two large vertical doors to facilitate an indoor/outdoor work space for the site and water lab with proximity to the rooftop garden and open for the daylighting lab to the southern sun as well as opening for natural ventilation for all the labs; operable windows and interior shading devices allow this space fl exibility and a positive working environment

PV PANELS + program: redesigning the existing courtyard redefi nes the experience of being in Rapson Hall, with the roof angled 14 degrees facing south it balances the need for PV aligned with the sun with maximizing the northern diffused light wanted in the courtyard and minimizing the harsh southern light from entering into the courtyard and existing balconies; the renewable energy system is celebrated in circulation spaces on the west and north creating a more dynamic experience while making the user aware of the system + active solar: PV panels line the portions of the angled courtyard roof where they would not be in shadow; the roof is angled enough to help the PV but still make them accessible for maintenance, the electric PV (5,320 sf) would have to be installed at a 30 degree angle and the thermal PV row (280 sf) at the north end of the courtyard roof would be installed at a 46 degree angle to maximize solar gain

EXTENSIVE ROOFTOP GARDEN + summer: foliage in the summer creates a supplemental working environment as well as an open feel to an exterior gathering space; accessible from sliding doors in circulation and studio as well as doors in lab space; plants also help cool the building through evapotranspiration + winter: the garden will help by minimally insulating the building; native prairie grasses would provide habitat and plant texture throughout the year

LIVING WALL - trellises rising from planter boxes on the ground on the east facade of the labs and south facade of studio + summer: foliage would help cool the area through evapotranspiration and would provide a dialogue between the rooftop garden and the building envelope; on southern facade it would help as another layer of protection from the warm summer sun winter: foliage would die down and not require maintenance during the cool months

LARGE VERTICAL DOORS - east facade of labs + summer: doors would open to allow for natural ventilation into lab space as well as to create a dialogue and close proximity to the lab programs + winter: doors would close to minimize heat loss LOUVERS, WATER TROMBE WALL, AND WINDOWS - south facade of labs + summer: operable windows in between trombe wall sections allow for natural ventilation; louvers over trombe are perpendicular to wall to block the trombe from the warm summer sun; louvers over glazing are at a 20 degree angle from perpendicular to block summer sun and glare while still allowing an exterior view + winter: windows would be closed; lower winter sun angle would allow solar rays to heat the trombe and passively heat labs

GEOTHERMAL HEAT PUMP - located in sand pit next to the southwest corner of the building + summer: water medium will be maintained at a more regular temperature so it needs to be cooled less + winter: water medium will be maintained at a more regular temperature so that it needs to be heated less to help heat through radiant floor heating

Zero Design: Research Laboratories

THE PHAN PG 23

Cold Base403 KBtu/SF

Final217 KBtu/SF

Zero Design: Research Laboratories Since majority of the days are either cold or hot in Minnesota, buildings in Minnesota are constantly being heated or cooled. This constant heating and cooling consumes a great amount of energy; thus, designers must have a better understanding of Minnesota’s climate in order to improve energy performance of buildings.

There are many strategies being implemented into buildings to help reduce waste, water, and energy consumption. A great way to reduce water consumption are low flow fixtures and toilets. To help supply water for the fixtures and toilets, cisterns will be used to collect rain water and cleansed to supply water demand of the building. Energy reduction on the other hand requires different strategies. Providing south glazing windows and an atrium provides natural daylighting and passive heat gain in the winter. To mitigate solar gains in the summer, louvers are placed on the exterior of windows. The louvers are also PV panels which capture sunlight and converts it to electricity for the building. The combination of the different strategies help reduce waste, water, and energy consumption

An important modification that the Final design incorporated was an atrium. The incorporation of the atrium reduced the KBtu/SF to 230 KBtu/SF. That was a 58 KBtu/SF drop from the Baseline model. The atrium provides the building with more daylighting; thus, reducing the reliance on artificial lights. Another benefit from the atrium is the ability to recycle interior air. Recycling interior air reduces the need to draw outside air constantly and outside air needs to be conditioned before ventilated into interior spaces.

THE PHAN PG 25

Catalyst: Shaping Light

The screen system runs on tracks that make it possible for personalization of light for the users. Consisting of 3 layers of screens, with the most porous screen on the top to the least porous screen on the bottom layer, the light that passes through depends on the arrangement of the operable screens. The light captured by the screen system varies from very vibrant to very diffused light qualities. The interplay with the window and ceiling lighting system connects the two together letting the user know that it is natural sunlight and not artificial light being used during the day. In essence the screens act as leaves in a forest diffusing the light to the ground below. The track will run mechanically and manually giving full control over what kind of light is needed throughout the day for the users.
