GREEN VILLE
Structure Systems
COURSE: ARCH 384 | INSTRUCTOR: BAILEY SHUGART | TEAM: VERONIA ALKOMOS | SPRING 2020 | WSOA
Structure, technology, building systems and codes are explored as design-determinants, space makers, and form-givers in this studio. Building typologies, long-span structural systems, environmental systems and electronic media are
analyzed as they relate to design development. This studio seeks to explicate the complex relationships between form, structure, spatial organization and tectonic qualities through precedent analysis and building design
AXONOMETRIC
The Green Ville food hub is in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles surrounded by many local marketplaces and restaurants. The hub will be more efficient for the distribution process of the food.
Its location will help with cutting the cost of transportation, which makes the products much cheaper for the consumers. It will also help with cutting the carbon footprint for transportation.

EXPLODED AXONOMETRIC
The structure has a high-rise restaurant for a beautiful view of Downtown Los Angeles. The view of the plaza that is right behind the site will not be blocked. There will be fast-growing crops, with few other major crops, to help restock the local markets and restaurants with the resources they need.
Under the bridge, there is a back access for trucks to the storage. There are hangout spots throughout as well as a coffee shop. The structure is made from sustainable materials as the Green Ville food hub is an environmentally friendly location.
RENDER VIEWS
SECTION
Other than the fact that it grows food and helps surrounding marketplaces, the building itself is designed to save energy. It has double glass, isolated walls,
ceilings and floors, as well as uses recycled grey water. The building is designed to be carbon absorbent instead of carbon emission which is why timber wood is used as a substitute for concrete.
