This project supports the mitigation of urban sprawl through
the adaptive reuse. Different user groups sharing similar
interests will be living within a community created from a
disused industrial building. The site is located in the heart
of the Arts District in Los Angeles. It is on the eastern side
of Downtown Los Angeles and its character is strongly
industrial. Its busy context makes it an attractive site to
invest on.
The scheme is a mixed-use development, which
includes accommodation, commercial and leisure
spaces. It promotes cultural, academic and urban
interaction, in a collaborative approach for social
benefit. The industrial atmosphere of the building within
the Arts District is kept in order to retain the history.
Focusing on supporting the artists of the Arts District in Los
Angeles with live/work residences, this projects sets out with
the goal of transforming a disused industrial building into
an innovative and functional artists’ space to live, work
and expose their professional work. The refurbishment
of the site also boosts the economy, benefitting local
artists and residents, and enabling social interactions to
happen between people from different backgrounds.
This way, artists will inspire each other but also the public.
Using adaptive reuse as a driver to fight urban sprawl,
many challenging design constraints came across;
however without them this project would not have
been so exciting; challenges such as the site’s
triangular shape, its noisy location in the area and
the actual refurbishment of the existing building itself.
[ r e ] u s e d A r t
Create a space where
different communities
of the city will gather.
Artists, professionals
and the general public
will inspire each other.

Site for development
The site resembles to
a triangular shape
accommodating a
polygon shaped building.
Around 50% of the site is not
being used.
Educational & professional working blocks
On the west side there are
located the educational
classes and on the east side
the Professional ones. These
blocks are located along
the street to from an interior
courtyard.
Part added to existing building
A new part is added in
order to connect the
existing building with the
new.
Floors
The scheme has in total
four habitable floors. These
floors are placed along the
street to form the interior
courtyard and a protected
it from the busy street.
Entrances
Entrances are provided in
all three corners of the site.
The north is mainly for the
gallery’s users coming from
Downtown LA, whereas
the other two are for the
courtyard’s users, pupils
and the residents.
Cores
Cores are positioned almost
every 50 m to enhance
pedestrian movement
within the live/work blocks.
Circulation
For a better circulation,
corridors are located in
three key areas - at the
courtyard, in-between
the live/work spaces and
facing the street.They are
connecting the cores with
the live/work blocks and
the courtyard.
The main exhibition spaces
of the gallery are located
a few meters under the
ground and provided with
adequate sunlight through
clerestory windows.
Gallery
The plaza/courtyard is
located on the rooftop of
the gallery. Here pupils,
professionals and general
public come together for
recreation, relaxation and
exchange of knowledge.

Pathway
The pathway
created, provides
connection to two
main streets and
attracts people to
visit the scheme.

The design|The facade of the building consists of three
elements. On the ground floor the entrances towards
the workshops have been created with an industrial
character in order to retain the site’s/neighborhood’s
historic importance and to create a friendly and open
entrance for professionals and customers. The second
element can be seen on the first and second floor where
the facade consists of glass glazing windows, glass
balcony railings and corten louvers. On the third and
fourth floor, vertical fixed corten panels make the third
element noticeable. The staircase in the middle splits the
form up into two design elements, which are covered by
a steel mesh in order to allow natural ventilation inside the
building. At the south facade one can notice the contrast
between the inside and the outside of the scheme. The
interior facade facing the courtyard is more transparent
in order to create a friendly and open environment that
gives pedestrian passing by a chance to see inside the
building and get attracted by the artists work.
In the 3D section above the pathway is visible, which connects
4th Street with Alameda Street and people passing through,
have the opportunity to see, hear and act. Local artists take
advantage of the neighbor’s building wall right next to the
pathway and paint graffiti while retaining the area’s cultural

arrangement of the live/work units. Every unit is colored with
a different color. The concept behind this design decision
is that the artists (tenants) can get inspired by each other

amount of influence from the tenants and pupils of the
scheme which was one of the aims of the project; to bring
people together.

Los Angeles Artists vs. Urban Sprawl
R T[re]USED

Based on my very architectonic thinking, a modular system
should be created, which is able to adapt like a chameleon to
all urban construction structures such as empty sites. By using
such a system, however, individuality and quality of residential
use are always taken into account and addressed effectively. The
underlying principle of the “Phi Cube” was inspired by a concept
similar to a puppet show. The spatial truss, supporting structure
and energy provider simultaneously serve as the hand of the
puppet master. Carried by steel-ropes that symbolize the puppet
stings, the modules represent the marionettes, which, in this case,
provide living space for over 800 people. On the main floor, a
park landscape - the stage - was formed, which is regarded as
the social hub of this residential estate.
The concept | Heiner Lauterbach, a renowned German
actor, once said in a TV spot that “an apartment is like an
Italian suit”. This quote perfectly fits into our vision of a tailored
apartment, which, not like a conventional apartment, can be
modified and built based on particular and individual needs.
The number of apartments was determined in reference
to the golden number Phi and its father Leonardo of Pisa,
better known as Fibonacci. According to your individual
needs and desires, you can decide whether you want an
apartment consisting of 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, or 21 cubes. Thereby,
you also have the possibility to choose from a pool of 348
apartments or 148 apartment shapes, which is also a number
that goes back to Fibonacci. After choosing your cubes,
which, by the way, were constructed based on the human
body size, you are enabled to design the apartment’s layout
in a major / minor grid, Euclid’s term for the golden ratio.

Floor plans | This construction style allows to create
an endless variety of layouts and causes every
apartment to differ significantly from each other. As a
consequence, every type of future resident can be given
the opportunity to choose his very personal apartment
layout. At the right hand side various user groups were
analyzed so that customized apartments for individual
demands can be created.

Dimensioning
Supporting structure| The supporting structure of the “Phi Cubes”
consists of a truss, which is being stretched between the access
towers. The truss stays within the “Phi Cube’s” boundaries and
possesses a width of three cubes. All apartments are carried
by steel ropes that origin in the truss. The vertical load transfer
is effected by using spigots and HV screw connections in the
hollow profile. The connection from cube to cube is realized
by inserting welded sheets in the intersection of the cubes. The
vertical bracing is secured by interjectional cross laminated
timber panels in the floor and ceiling area.
Construction stage| The images below show the principle of
“building downwards”. Once the supporting structure, which can
be possess any height, is set up, the cubes are ready to be hooked
in. From then on apartment after apartment can be added up to
the point where the maximum housing density is reached. Also,
the additional adaption of a single cube to an already hooked-in
one is feasible.

The ruin named “Massenburg” is located at the south part
of the city Leoben in styria, Austria. to be exact, the whole
site is on top of the “Massenberg”. From there you have a
fantastic view over the entire city center and the surrounding
coutryside. At the foot of the hill is the Jakobikirche
located and if you cross the adjacent city park you get
to the historical city center of Leoben which is close as
well. Owner and landlord is the city council Leoben
Project: Retrofiting ruin Leoben
Semester: Summer 2013 | MA
The design | The partly remaining masonry of the ruin offers
a great potential for an exciting connection between old
and new. Therefore, it was of great importance to me to
build something new on or in between the existing ruin walls.
However, it was very important to create a visual separation
between the old mass and the actual new building. This aim
could be achieved by the effective use of steel and glass. In
addition, attention was paid to a careful insertion of various
building structures among the ruins.
The new building where the restaurant is located has been
placed in the gaps of the existing walls. In addition it was very
important for me that the new construction just has a few
points where it gets in a physical contact with the old ruin. A
visual relationship between old and new is realized by the visitor
to be able to convey the feeling of being amidst the ancient
ruins and enjoy this by the judicious use of glass on the exterior
facades.
A connection of the several on the ruins located buildings
was created by a steel and glass lamellar roof construction.
This design has the task to lead the visitors from the visitor
parking through the entire area to the castle. In addition,
visitors are protected from the weather but also from direct
sunlight. The slats also give a great play of light and shadow.
The entire roof structure ends in the front area of the sight
where the Skybar is located. The visual separation as well as
the physical separation from the Skybar and the consisting
ruin was a big importance for me. Through this separation it
was possible that the Skybar was visually floating above the
ruin. At the very end of the Skybar a terrace is located. The
old observation tower at the very far end of the ruin is used as
a supporting structure for the Skybar. There it was important
that visitors can actually experience the old walls of the ruin.
In the middle of the complex is an elevator located who
brings you either downstairs to the restaurant or upstairs to
the Skybar.

Concept:

The material | The ruin itself consists mainly of stones. To
create a tension between the existing building and the
new construction I used a material that is very connected
with the city. In fact it is steel. Steel has already been for
many years an important element of the city. Leoben
is actually the biggest steel producer with all those steel
factories in Austria. Many inhabitants of Leoben and also
from the area around are working in this industry. Therefore
it was an intention of mine to use steel as the main material
for my project.

The challenge of this project consisted in planning a luxurious
but still space-saving apartment for a family with two children.
Next to that family apartment, there should also be attached
a granny unit for one person or even a couple. The special
challenge here was the size of the parcel, which were only
15m x 15m since it is located in a row house estate. Moreover,
due to this fact, the installation of windows can only occur
towards the interior courtyard.

The concept | The project is constituted of six cubes that all
have different dimensions. To set the cubes apart optically
and architectonically, transparent elements are inserted
between the individual cubes. Furthermore, different and
distinguishable materials were used to make the separation
even more visible. The special layout of the cubes, then,
allows for the creation of two spatially generous balconies
and a rooftop terrace that provides a panoramic view over
the whole estate.
In the interior of the house the cubic concept was further
applied. This was realized by placing a cube that functioned
as a bathroom in the middle of the granny annex. As a
consequence, the bathroom not only serves as a mere
facility but also as a separation device to define the various
rooms in the apartment.

Technical details | In order to obtain a better
understanding for technical details this project was
chosen again over the course of a class covering
constructive detail planning during the spring semester
2013. To make the concept of the differently arranged
cubes even more visible, a detail was developed that
shows the separation of the cubes from each other even
more clearly. What’s more, detailed work on additional
floor construction, drainage systems and the technical
design of the roof cube.

The concept | My design had begun with two questions in
mind: How should the building be experienced as a whole and
how should the separate program areas be arranged together.
It was very important for me that the building becomes a very
welcoming, open air, and community-like place where the
people can come together. To achieve all those aspects I
decided that the building has to be split into two “masses”. The
area in between the masses forms a lobby that runs through
the length of the building and is enclosed within a glass facade.
Dining partly overlap with the lobby, and also spread towards
the outside of the building. The book library at the South and
the educational building to its North influence the shape of
the design. The primary entry to the building is a transition to
the new quad, but at the other end of the building is a smaller
grand entry as well. This is near the loading area, but it ensures
that the building can be accessed from both sides. Furthermore
Sk y l i n e D e s i g n
every angle of approach should be pleasant. This way I
could achieve that the people cross the building instead of
walking by, even if it´s not their final destination. As follows it
was possible to bring movement and “life” into the building.
At the South side of the building is the multipurpose room
located. This room is used for all kind of events. It was
important for me that it becomes an independent part from
the rest of the building. For this reason it has been pierced
through the building. By using an additional material the
difference is not only highlighted at the outside but also
from the inside.
In the inside of the building you have visual connections
between every floor. In the middle is an atrium located
with a skylight on top to gain more natural sunlight. Both
entrances have a staircase next to enhance the vertical
movement within the building.
Site Plan
The proposed $24,752,000 East Los Angeles Community
College is broken down into categories to simply cost
estimates. Costs were derived from RS Means Assemblies
Cost Data 2008, Sub-Contractors, and from buildings of like
size and usage. We did take-offs by hand and calculated
quantities using DProfiler.
The building proposed consists of:
• 3 stories in height
• 250 person cafeteria
• 7000 square foot bookstore
• Healthcare center
• 5,000 square foot Multi-purpose room

The Project is located at the East Los Angeles Community
College. The task was to design a new campus center and
bookstore for their campus. The site is a large central block
that currently houses a soon to be demolished building. Directly
west from the site is another building that will be demolished to
make way for a large outdoor plaza space. This plaza will be
combined with the bookstore and cafeteria complex to form the
new campus core.

Exterior | The exterior consists of a variety of
facades bringing together the ELAC campus and
incorporating existing architectural features. Exterior
surfaces include hanging curtain walls, stucco, brick,
and concrete panels.
Interior | Walls consist of metal studs and are
insulated for a optimum energy usage. The multi-
purpose room is heavily insulated for acoustical
performance. Acoustical tile ceilings are used in the
offices and carpet will line office and board room
floors. Laminate tiles are used in the cafeteria and
bookstore floors.
Section A-A Section B-B
Structural | The superstructure consitis of a steel framed
gravity system supporting concrete filled metal deck.
Reinforced concrete shear walls are the main support of
the lateral force resisting system.
One of the key features on this building is the three-story
curtain wall on the south west side. The curtain wall provides
an aesthetic material change and allows for more natural
light into the building and reduces electricity consumption.
In addition, the glass will contain photovoltaic cells that will
help with sustainability and provide much needed shape.

The building is located in Los Osos at Montana de Oro. It
is a peacefull and quiet place where the residents can enjoy
their last days of life. Concrete and wood are the main
construction materials. The resident rooms and the spa area
are completely built out of wood to give a more warm and
comfortable feel. The overall goal is to provide a high level of
comfort for everyone involved in the hospice process.

Project: Construction of a roof
for a Metro entrance.
University: FH Joannem | Austria
Semester: Summer 2011 | BS
Co n s t r u c t i o n
The task was to design a roof for a metro entrance in three
different ways. The first solution was it to execute it with a linear
supporting framework. The second design should be created
by a building which accomodates shops in the first floor
and offices in the second floor and for the third solution
it was necassary to use the technique of membrane, pneus
constructions.
