SYNOPSIS
A “forgotten element” of the 606- restrooms. As we have observed, living in a city requires fundamental infrastructure, the most crucial being managing water, waste, and hygiene within the metropolitan area. These restrooms units will be part of the idealized community that crowd-sharing helps provide in today’s society, helping us unite neighborhoods as one moves through the city of Wayside Oasis.
This project is an army of 6 units of restrooms that sits on the 606 and cantilevers over the street. The bathroom units upon sunset turns into a public movie screening pad that helps illuminate the street beside and below the cantilever, further including public safety and efficient of multipurpose use of traditional restrooms.
The playcrate
SYNOPSIS
The Playcrate is reimagining the idea of what defines “The Civic Space” and how we as architects can change the public’s relationships between bodies and spaces. This illustration is the big idea of what the future of “The Civic” could articulate towards. Where spaces of play, perversion, corporate and residential together coexist in harmony.
This project is an exploration of what a civic center is and what it could be in this renaissance of architectural boom. In this exploration of spaces and their relationship, this design consists of three distinct spaces during the winter, a greenhouse, Ice-skating rink, and produce market that emerges as a result of the greenhouse farming which during the summer transforms into a pool, basketball court and a cafe. The major challenge was how we as architects have a responsibility of keeping in mind the life cycle of the architecture of a space while making efficient use of it.
