Join us today at 12:00 PM PT for a virtual research seminar from Professor Sascha Delz on “Investigating Spatial Formations Beyond Scalar and Disciplinary Boundaries." This event is free and open to the public. Link to join in our bio!⠀
⠀
Sascha Delz is an architect and researcher working at the intersection of architecture, urban design, and urban studies. He holds a master's degree in architecture and a doctor of science from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH Zurich). Engaging with contemporary urbanization processes, his research focuses on how specific political-economic frameworks influence the manifestation of architecture, urban form and living environments. Addressing challenges of uneven development, asymmetric cooperation setups, and exclusive distribution of urban resources, he is particularly interested in advancing knowledge on more equitable and collaborative practices of urban production.

@haynes.arch shares her ARCH 202a midterm project for a new street proposal:
“the main (street) attraction”
having analyzed the existing street, a new street proposal plays on axial symmetry to gradate from public commercial zones to private residential spaces while improving the relation between vehicular and pedestrian traffic, creating gathering/courtyard spaces, and contending with the extreme heat and flash flooding that is characteristic of the local climate.
1. new street axonometric: shade, ground conditions, vehicular traffic
2. analysis axonometric: pedestrian occupancy and circulation, building use
3. problem diagram: grid of vehicular traffic, building orientation, green space

Our latest virtual faculty exhibition is now on view! Associate professor of practice Olivier Touraine's gallery walks viewers through a project that involved rethinking “manufactured homes" for a large company looking to improve design and energy autonomy for its line of products in three U.S. assembly factories. The purpose was to target a new market of co-shared weekend or vacation homes for an urbanite population, possibly located in very diverse landscapes.⠀

ARCH 102aL: first-year studio midterms ✔️

to this spring 2020 ARCH 302b project from @ralex.studio for a Leimert Park Community Center:
This video, using the Twinmotion software, was the replacement/solution for sharing a 3D model as classes moved online in the spring. Rachel notes that “something cool about making this video (instead of a model) is that it made it easier for me to express my ideas to my non-architecture friends and family, which was really fun during quarantine :).”
The project employs a long-span system based on creating a three-dimensional vector truss system that works both vertically and laterally. The structure works by offsetting the lower chords of each truss by five feet laterally. The shapes of the upper and lower chords are derived from conglomerations of hexagons in section, yielding a condition where wall becomes ceiling becomes floor. The site is manipulated to direct light into the semi-underground basketball courts and offer views for the public to watch the games. Two more courts are raised to the second level so they can be viewed more publicly, encouraging the neighborhood to engage with the site.
For more on this project and to view the full video, visit @ralex.studio’s page.
Join us tonight at 6:00 PM PT for a lecture from Dolores Hayden on memory and preservation. This virtual event is free and open to the public but registration via the link in our bio is required. ⠀
