UCSB Student Resource Building : Schematic Design Report A University represents a celebration of the congregation of cultures and backgrounds. Boundaries dissolve allowing the free exchange of ideas and personal beliefs. 7

UCSB Student Resource Building : Schematic Design Report Piazza Navona, Rome The earliest piazzas present themselves as a symbolic representation of this concept. It provides a unique urban space that allows people to gather and exchange ideas. 8

UCSB Student Resource Building : Schematic Design Report Street Performer A piazza’s function is constantly shifting from dawn to dusk. No one moment is the same as the last. It is dynamic. Fountain of Four Rivers 9

UCSB Student Resource Building : Schematic Design Report The proposed design will use light as a medium to not only provide a unique and dynamic urban environment like the piazzas of old, but also seeks to redefine the way an individual experiences their physical and visual environment. 10

UCSB Student Resource Building : Schematic Design Report North East Plaza North East Plaza Forum Multi-Purpose Room Student Resource Center The North East Plaza provides a convening point from rest of the UCSB campus into the Student Resource Building. Combined with the weather of Southern California, it is envisioned to provide a comfortable outdoor environment for people to socialize. It shall become a modern day interpretation of a piazza. Energy efficient fixtures will be utilized to adhere to California’s Title 24 requirements. Interpretation 13

UCSB Student Resource Building : Schematic Design Report The dynamic and transient nature of a piazza is analogous to water. Water is formless, consistently shifting in shape and composition. Interpretation 14

UCSB Student Resource Building : Schematic Design Report Forum North East Plaza Forum Multi-Purpose Room Student Resource Center At the heart of the Student Resource Building is the Forum, an area that will become a major pedestrian thoroughfare that connects the adjacent neighborhood of Isla Vista and the rest of the UCSB campus. The space serves a dual function: to facilitate movement as well as providing a comfortable and visually pleasing environment for people to socialize. In response, the proposed design shall reinforce these two principles. Interpretation 23

UCSB Student Resource Building : Schematic Design Report The spatial relationship of the passerby and those who congregate in the Forum can be likened to this photo. The earlier is transient, the later is almost timeless. Likewise, the lighting here shall be used in such a way as to reinforce the dynamic nature of this space. Interpretation John Zwinck 24

UCSB Student Resource Building : Schematic Design Report Interpretation The movement of people through this space shall be analogous to stones skipping on water. Therefore, specific surfaces shall be lit with an additional layer of light to guide people as they move from one end to the other. Mick 25

UCSB Student Resource Building : Schematic Design Report Interpretation Lighting here shall not only reinforce the architectural character of this space, but also provide a visual connection to the exterior of this building. The design here will adhere to the energy requirements established in California’s Title 24 and be sensitive to the amount of daylight available. 26

UCSB Student Resource Building : Schematic Design Report Multi-Purpose Room North East Plaza Forum Multi-Purpose Room Student Resource Center Situated on the NE corner of the building, the Multi-purpose Room’s elliptical form resonates that of the adjacent North East Plaza. As such, the design will aim to dissolve the boundary between the two areas. Interpretation 33

UCSB Student Resource Building : Schematic Design Report Street Performer From dawn to dusk, a piazza will constantly change as it adapts to the needs of different people throughout the day. Likewise, the lighting design of the Multi-Purpose Room shall also be responsive to the different functions that will take place there during its lifetime. Fountain of Four Rivers Interpretation 34

UCSB Student Resource Building : Schematic Design Report Realization Light shall be used to accentuate the architectural form of this space. When the room is not in use, perimeter lighting here and that of the adjacent NE plaza shall change color in sequence to provide a visual connection between the two spaces. 36

UCSB Student Resource Building : Schematic Design Report Realization Additional overhead lights will also be available to cater for conference type events. Adjustable downlights will also be provided to allow for additional accent on vertical displays. The design will observe Title 24 regulations and be responsive to the amount of daylight available. 37

Lighting will be designed in accordance to the functional needs of the space in addition to providing a comfortable and inviting environment for those that seek help. Interpretation 41

UCSB Student Resource Building : Schematic Design Report Realization Besides general ambient overhead illumination, lighting here shall provide a comfortable and relaxing environment. Lights shall also be positioned as to avoid glare on the task plane. Title 24 will be observed and appropriate controls will be utilized to ensure that the system is responsive to the amount of daylight available in the space. 43
