Introduction

Included in this document is a series of maps, drawings, charts and assessments intended to aid third year Mississippi State University School of Architecture students in the design of a mixed-use, multifamily housing structure to be sited in the city of Chicago. It is divided into six parts to allow for quick retrieval of the needed information. Building codes and zoning is devel-oped in the first section to direct students in the needed structural and district information for the site given. ADA and egress then provides a quick overview of the information pertinent to the project. The third section focuses on site research including transportation and different amenities on the sites. Precedents aims to include a brief history of the housing options and an example of the various types. Occupancy and area requirements are included in the program section. Lastly the demographics for the three sites are analyzed. With the concise information pulled together, students should be able to retrieve the information quickly and optimize its use in the development of their projects.

Building HeightBuilding height is governed by the individual zones within Chicago. It is also based on the function of the first floor. The building height is determined on the basis if commercial space is provided on the ground floor or not. If a residential occupancy is on the ground floor, the building is required to be shorter than if the ground floor is of business or mercantile occupancy. If the first floor is non residential, the first floor must have a minimum floor-to-floor height of 13 ft. as compared to the residential height which is a 7 ft. floor-to-floor height.

High Rise ClassificationA building with an occupied floor more than 80 ft. is considered a high rise in Chicago. These requirements are set in place based on the ladder height of a fire truck.

Required ExitsThe number of required exits is based upon the number of individuals that will be residing in the building. 49 occupants per egress exit is allowed in B and M, while R allows 10 occupants per egress exit.

Length LimitThe length limit of the common path of egress is specified by the occupancy group. All occupancy groups have a standard length limit. There are also specific lengths such as in business and residential.

Exit ArrangementWhen two exits are required, they are to be placed a distance apart that is equal to 1/2 the diagonal dimension of the space. This measurement is taken from the center of the doorway.

Door ProjectionA door can project a maximum of 7 ft. when fully opened against the wall of the egress hallway. The opening of the door shall not reduce the required width by more than 1/2 of hallway width.

Door Projection Recessed doors can have a 7 in. maximum projection into a hallway of egress.

Stair RequirementsThe stair requirements dictate a 7 in. rise with an 11 in. run; however, in the city of Chicago it is allowed to be a rise of 9 in. and a minimum of 10 in. run.

RampsRamps shall have a rise of 12 in. and a run of 20 in. minimum.

Stair RiseStairs shall have a max rise of 8 in.

Stair RunStairs shall have a max run of 13 in.

Climate“In the past, architectural forms have been influenced by the climate of the region, so that as geography changes, new architectural devices appear on the scene. Architecture’s subjugation to nature not only provided for diversity and identity, but also improved human experience by keeping man in close relationship with the elements.”

ClimateSnow LoadsA roof designed for a 20 lb. per square foot snow load could theoretically hold up to four inches of ice. Meteorologist’s estimate that is about 12 inches of snow that is equivalent to one inch of water, which means a roof can hold up to four feet of snow. But if it is wet and packed snow it will only be able to hold up to 3 feet of snow.

Weather HazardsIn Northeastern Illinois, the typical frequency is 2 hail strom days per year, whereas in parts of southwestern, northwestern, and southern Illinois, three or more hail falls can be expected in average year.

Within a hail storm, 22% of hailstones that fall have diameters of 1/8”, 24% have diameters of 1/4”, and 7% percent of have diameters of 1”. The average number of hailstones per hail storm is 129 stones per square foot. The record holds at 1402.

Average impact energy per hail fall: 0.22 ft-pounds per sq. ft.

Maximum evergy in single hail fall: 12.66 ft-pounds per sq. ft.

Macro TransportationThe main highways in Chicago are Interstate 290, running East and West, and Interstates 90 and 94, running North and South. They are the most frequently traveled roads. The mode of transportation ranges from driving, to riding the subway or “L,” to walking.

The CTA, or Chicago Transit Authority, consists of the bus and rail routes. In this macro scale, the map shows the relationship of the three sites that were chosen for the Fall studio project. The Chicago “L,” the rail route, is shown by the green lines located on the map. The rail system operates over eight routes, two of which go to two major airports, the O’Hare International Airport and Midway Airport.

The “L” is located behind two of the three sites. 630 S Wabash Ave is located within the Loop. The “L” is runs directly behind the site. Unlike the first mentioned site, 706 N Ashland Ave lacks tracks within or near the site being that it is located in an area farther away from the “L.” 1217 S State St, like the Wabash site, has the “L” running right behind it.

Due to its close proximity to downtown, 1217 S State Street is filled with move-ment throughout the day. The density of people using the area justifies the pres-ence of the “L” stop and four city bus stops. While S State St. does experience some vehicular traffic, it is off the busier E. Roosevelt, which vallows the site ample visual traffic without chaos. The intersec-tion of walkers, bikers, drivers, and mass transit riders leads to a web of paths, coming and going.

Multi-Family HousingDefinition of Multi-Family HousingA Classification of housing where multiple separate housing units for residential inhabitants are contained in one or multiple buildings within a complex

History of Multi-Family Housing in Chicago Multi-family housing blossomed after WWII when large numbers of returning soldiers caused a boom in the housing demand, which in turn strengthened the development of multi-family residences. For Chicago, the housing types started to change, particularly in the increased construction of row houses numbering in the thousands. The timeline for private sector multi-family housing in Chicago splits, however, as an increase in impoverished residents mandated the rise of public housing. Though both the public and private sector began constructing high-rise units to satisfy the housing demands in Chicago, public opinion of high-rise multi-family housing for the public sector all but vanished by the 1990’s, while the trend remains strong in the private sector.

Types/MaterialsRow-HousingConsisting of a series of houses aligned close together, row housing was one of the first types of housing introduced to Chicago. Row houses share common walls, after WWII, and are similar in the use of materials and facade orientation. They usuallyshare side walls in order to decrease the amount of space used to separate living spaces.

Loft-Style LivingLofts vary between units that previously converted into smaller living spaces utilizing multiple floors to renovated buildings maximizing the area for living spaces. These dwellings have became prominent around the U.S., since the 1990’s. Lofts may be found in buildings that have a commercial ground floor with the living spaces above.

Block-Style HousingMany colleges incorporate the block style houses because it is focused around the use of couryard spaces. Originally, the kitchens and bathroom areas were in a public place, but now reside in the private areas of the units.

Low-Rise HousingLow-rise housing consists of one to five levels of apartments, and is the prominant style of inhabitance in inner cities, like Chicago. They have the abilityto hold larger amounts of units, therefore, can be situated in more

Row Houses/ TownhomesThe Johnson St. Town homes are in Portland, Oregon, which is home to many historical buildings. Since the warehouse district no longer exists, town homes such as these flood the area. These were designed with the tenant in mind, as seen in the private courtyards and spacious floor plans. The design also features roof top balconies that provide the view of the community .

The architecture of the town homes feature brick veneer with a concrete structural system, which is important to the Portland area because of the harsh winters. The brick and concrete provides a thermal insulation, keeping the cold air out of the interior spaces. Also, the brick relates back to the 1900 brick buildings that surround the site.

The street level presence of the building provides an interactive pedestrian flow along the sidewalks, done by linking the materiality of the townhomes to the retail and restaurants of the community.

Loft Style HousingLoft style living is successful in its adaptivity to inhabitants. The Old Town Lofts’ feature qualities that are not only successful for the site, in Chicago, IL as well. Being located in Chinatown, the exterior incorporates screening relating to chinese motifs.

The use of brick and concrete not only responds to the context, but it also provides thermal insulation for the colder months. This design incorporates many sustainable elements, such as concrete with fly ash, used as both exposed finish and structure, central energy-efficient water-loop heat- pump system, and recycling from demolition waste from existing structures. The heat pump allows for trade off and time of day energy needs, lowering the cost of heating and cooling.

Since loft style living seems to lose a sense of public space, the eighth floor encourages green spaces and landscaping for sun shading.

Block Style HousingBlock style housing is a common type of living for student housing. Over the years this type of housing has adapted into a series of loft style condominiums, but still have the important features of the block style. One of the most important features is the central courtyard area. The couryard creates a very safe and public outdoor area for tenants to gather. Block 588 meets this standard and also provides tenants with above class amenities.

Some amenities include the open views of the downtown area as well as the park. Tenants also appreciate the 9’ to 10’ ceilings. Private balconies wrap around the facade providing separate outdoor space as well.

The construction methods of Block 588 include qualities good for Texas and Illinois. The use of glass on the south side provides the sun exposure needed in the winter. The materials used: brick, steel, wire mesh, and unfinished concrete relates to its context very well along with creating insulation.

Most of the spaces in a low-rise apartment building are traditionally located on the interior, but recently the central courtyard has been introduced to the site plans of low-rise buildings. The apartments are normally separated by a central circulation core.

The Tate Mason House, an apartment type dwelling that mainly houses seniors and students, is priced for tenants with a low- income. Located in the historical community of Seattle, WA., Tate Mason is showcased by many restaurants and other public amenities.

The exterior of the building relates to the Art-Deco style of architecture that sited around the buildings context.

Population MakeupChicago has one of the richest immigration histories among American Cities. In 1870, immigrants made up a larger portion of the city’s population than any other place in North America. During an 80 year period between 1880 and 1960, the size of Chicago’s foreign born population was second only to that of New York City. Local immigration patterns unfolded in a manner parallel to those of the nation. Mid-19th century arrivals from Ireland and Germany were followed by large numbers of Russian Jews, Slavs, and Italians in the years 1880-1920. Since the immigration reforms of 1965, the city and its suburbs have attracted growing numbers of Asians and Latin Americans. These graphics portray a relation between Race, Ethinicity and General Population standings.
