Thesis 2012: California College of the ArtsInstructor: Brian Price
This thesis proposes ulterior means of producing public space within the city.
The research has focused on where current policy for public space making is ineffective and where there are opportunities to propose
alternative strategies in both locat-ing and implementing these spaces.
Sited in the Tenderloin Neighborhood of San Francisco due to high popula-tion density, strategies were devel-oped using the existing conditions of low public space percentages and the abundance of street level parking lots to implement public space while mitigating demolition and displace-ment associated with new development.

WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF NEW PERFORMANCE HALLS TO THE SOUTH AND NORTH EAST, OUR SITE AND THE NEW UC DAVIS MIXER PLUS BUILDING WILL BECOME A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE ON CAMPUS. THE SITE IS LOCATED AT THE THRESHOLD BETWEEN THE FORMAL MALL LEADING TO MRAK HALL AND THE INFORMAL ARBORETUM, AND HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING STUDENTS FROM THE ARTS, SCIENCES, AND SOCIAL SCIENCES TOGETHER IN BOTH SCHOLASTIC AND SOCIAL ENVIRONMENTS, ENCOURAGING COLLABORATION AND INNOVATION ON THE UC DAVIS CAMPUS.
THE MIXER PLUS BUILDING ACCOMPLISHES THIS BY ALLOWING ACCESS THROUGH THE SITE BY TOUCHING THE GROUND AS LIGHTLY AS POSSIBLE. THE ATRIUM SPACE IS CIRCLED BY THE THICKENED PROCESSIONAL CIRCULATION, BRINGING LIGHT AND AIR DOWN THROUGH THE ENTIRE BUILDING, AND EXTENDING SOCIAL SPACES OUT OVER THE ATRIUM. THE VISUAL AND ACOUSTICAL CONNECTIVITY AROUND THE ATRIUM CREATES AN ATMOSPHERE OF COLLABORATION AND INNOVATION.

Climate This part of the Northern California Central Valley is situated just inland of the Bay Area. Parts of Contra Costa County east of the Caldecott Tunnel are also part of Zone 12. This climate zone experiences cooler winters and hotter summers than Climate Zone 3 (Bay Area). Winter rains fall from November to April. Tule fog is common in the winter east of Mount Diablo. Some lower areas receive frost on winter nights.

Abu Dhabi is a car culture. The vast distances between destinations, the extreme heat and sand storms, the quality of the existing public transportation systems, and the current low cost of petrol in the United Arab Emirates make the automobile the default means of travel.
Compressive looks at this existing condition and more specifically, the car as a representation of human beings’ very worst and very best achievement. The way western society, and emerging societies around the world have implemented the automobile is both irresponsible and inexcusable. While the resources consumed to manufacture and operate the car are astounding, the personal freedom the car affords is something that every society should strive for. The car is an integral component of our existing lifestyle, and one that will not fade without a reexamination of our entire public transportation system.
Compressive reexamines the interaction between the person and the car at various scales and questions the current understanding of the parking lot as a type of “service space.” It looks forward to a time when emissions will be reduced and people and cars may inhabit the same spaces comfortably given that safety, congestion, and the integration of various forms of transportation have been resolved. These “service spaces” that we call parking lots may eventually be seen as destinations in themselves.
