Overlap
By taking two disparate objects and overlapping them, what happens in the interstitial space?
Overlap
Examining how to foster collaboration in our four person group inspired us to manifest those findings in the building. By overlapping program, space, and function we create collaborative environments for the Center for Integrated Design and Construction Research.
Cores
The project is supported by six unique cores that exist in the overlaps of program.
Structure Diagram
The structure is based on North-South shear walls infilled with steel framing to allow passage and light.
Services
Some of the cores had responsabilities of supplying water, air, and power to their programs.
Floor Plates
This project has three levels comprised of platforms with 30" offsets to allow programmatic mixing.
Roof Wrap
The roof skin wraps down the sides of the building.
Site Plan
An open ground plan provides a shady respite to pedestrians walking from campus to the light rail.
Longitudinal Section
Blue, Green, and Red Core
Transverse Section
Green, Elevator, and Yellow Core.
South East Approach
Pedestrians on College Avenue are welcomed into the ground floor.
South East Entrance
As you enter the building you can see every level and almost every program element.
Fab Lab
The Fab Lab ties the whole building together.
