3. USC/Jefferson Metro Station Hub
The site chosen is located near the University of Southern California near a busy area of Los
Angeles. This site would benefit from a transportation hub because it is fairly close to corporate
Los Angeles and the majority of business people take advantage of public transportation. This
area is heavily populated with college students who a huge percentage of own a bicycle. The
hub would encourage the bike rental for outsiders coming into this area, whether it is to visit or
for USC events. There will be a park and ride area where people can leave their cars and
continue with public transportation whether it is a bicycle, the use of a rickshaw, or the metro Freeways
line adjacent to the site. Metro Rail

The hub is covered by an open air pavillion which also becomes its own

17. For the final design, It was decided that
the pavillion would maintain open. With
the nature that aurrounds it, it would be
best to keep it that way. A double curtain
layer was decided. The inner layer would
have pockets for classroom use and would
be of a wool like material. The exterior
layer would be of a more dense plastic
material that would serve for privacy and
protection from any dust, trash, or animal
from coming into the pavillion.

23. The skin design for this project was highly influenced and developed from the analysis and manipulation study of the
pleating methods used in Alexander McQueen’s dress design. The specific dress used is one of his Fall 2008 garments.
The pleating method is expressed in the building’s skin system which wraps around the building, creating
habitable spaces as well as the ramp system itself.
The building’s program is organized in an interlocking manner. The program spaces and the VIP Parking areas
are stacked on top of each other, combining these in one space per say. The circulation of the site overall is
developed similarly. The core of the building is an open space which holds all major circulation of the building.
There are 3 main ramps that help circulate cars through the VIP parking areas and 3 more ramps that serve for
pedestrian circulation when not being used by the fashion showroom as catwalks.
There are 2 main entrances, one from Main Street and one from 9th Street, which invite the general public into
the building. Since the parking that is layered with the program is exclusively for VIP only, there is an under
ground parking area designated for the general visitors.
