COLOMBO, SRI LANKA

Spring 2012 | Susan Jones + Josh HiltonA rural development NGO, World Craft Council is seeking to build new offices in the outskirts of Columbo, Sri Lanka. How can the design reduce its environmental impact, respect vernacular forms and materials while capturing a more modern aesthetic and help to improve the urban condition?

EVOLUTION OF FORM

TERM | ADVISING FACULTY

PROBLEM

SOLUTION The form of the building is driven by the goal of passive cooling strategies and on-site energy generation. A central atrium serves as a solar chimney. The building is perforated by a series of shaded terraces. Plants and water are brought into the building to increase the perception of coolness. An extensive roof top PV array provides on-site power generation.

Winter 2012 Don Genasci + Sean Cho

PORTLAND, OR

A new college of visual arts located on a challenging site in northwest Portland. The site is bisected by an active rail line and separated from adjacent areas by a series of roads and bridges. Part of the task was to use the project to knit the site back into the fabric of the city.

The building and landscape serve as a literal and figurative bridge knitting the disparate parts of the neighborhood back together. The form also serves as a metaphor for art. Just as art is the combination of craft and theory, the building is composed of a south wing for production studios and a north for academics united by a bridge where the finished art is displayed.

An attempt to solve the riddle of how to make new development work in the struggling Oldtown | Japantown | Chinatown neighborhood. How can a new mixed income housing project be woven into the existing historic fabric of the district.

The building weaves through and incorporates existing historic building, preserving in its form the historic pattern of land division. It also responds in massing to the adjacent Chinese garden and buildings, and draws upon adjacent facades for building lines. A diverse mix of unit types seeks to maintain the areas existing diversity while accommodating new housing types.

The majority of the neighborhood will be small scale, ne grain buildings of varying heights - lower in the historic districts and raising to the west and north. The anticipated mix includes creative, exible ofce space, indy retail, social services and workforce housing.

A Creative Neighborhood

The dense residential heart of the area. The vision is to have higher buildings housing hundreds of new residents inorder to enliven the district. The streets in this part of the district will be quieter and less commercial in nature.

Residential Core

This portion of the area has already been established as where Portland goes to let loose. The design intent is to continue this and build on in with new compatible inll and a more vibrant street scape.

Nightlife District

A green street connecting Waterfront Park and the North Park Blocks | Pearl Distrcit. Low car trafc, No on street parking. Low commercial intensity. Deisgned to accomodate quiet relaxation

Flander Street Green WayA lower intensity commercial street on normal days, it can also be closed for special events, First Thursday, markets, etc. Low trafc, bike and pedestrial oreintation.

PROPOSED SCHEME

A significant part of Portlands urban experience is the presence of food carts. Their existence relies on the large surface parking lots. How can one replace one of these parking lots with a new sustainable mixed-use building while maintaining the vitality of the current food cart pod?

Summer 2011 | Jim Cutler

A new building that accommodates the chaos of the market in a ground floor hall, allowing the existing diversity to continue. The buildings responds climatically through the use of atrium spaces that introduce light and air into the heart of the building. Harsh, western sun is moderated through the use of external shading devices.

5TH AVENUE MARKET BUILDING PORTLAND, OR

TERM | ADVISING FACULTY

PROBLEM

SOLUTION

Food carts represent ENTREPRENEURIAL activity and INDIVIDUAL EXPRESSION. The building maintains these qualities while encasing them in a POROUS glass volume that allows the CHAOS of the cart to migrate inside without compromising their INDEPENDENCE and vitality . The interior of the volume is to be SELF ORGANIZING. The generative idea for the upper levels of the building is the narrowing of the mass to create access to NATURAL LIGHT and air. The volumes are connected by an ATRIUM that allow light to penetrate through the building and for NATURAL VENTILATION.
