SUMMARY:AIA Austin WiA Site Tour // 1515 Cesar Chavez with Chioco
DESCRIPTION:AIA Austin WiA Present: Site Tour // 1515 Cesar Chavez with Chioco // Sponsored by Sierra Pacific\nThursday\, August 8th from 4-6 pm\nRegister Now!\n\nCEU 2HSW\nPPE Required:\n\nLong pants and substantial closed toed shoes (sneakers\, hiking shoes\, boots – no heels\, no ballet flats\, no loafers) – anyone not complying with this requirement will not be able to walk the site. No exceptions. \nSafety Vest\n\n\nHard hats & goggles\n\nLocated in East Austin close to downtown\, the 1515 mixed-use development is the combination of dense and varied programmatic elements organized within the constraints of an urban infill site. The project\, which is currently under construction\, includes three levels of underground parking and three stories of retail\, restaurant\, and office shell space. The design challenge of this project was to develop a building form that remained approachable within its residentially scaled context of East Austin. To achieve this\, the building form folds inward at its center point\, creating a dynamic\, public-facing square and breaking up the long north-facing façade of the building. This central courtyard opens out to the public sidewalk\, carving out the form of the building and folding back the concrete slabs to break up its long north-facing façade. At the courtyards’ entrance is a large\, faceted steel planter filled with trees and lined with wooden benches. Toward the rear\, a 4-story board-formed concrete wall emerges from the lower parking levels and upward through the open space of the building\, allowing light and fresh air to circulate and creating space for a dynamic grand staircase at the heart of the project. This concrete wall is punctuated with plantings and irrigated down its face with the water reclaimed from the rooftop mechanical systems’ condensate lines. \nThe building mass is dissolved not only by the courtyard\, but also through the implementation of various glazing systems and outdoor patios. The ground level is wrapped in a custom timber curtain wall glazing system with hemlock exterior caps. On the second and third levels\, the glazing pushes in and out\, tracing out multiple small patios that future office tenants can use as informal breakout rooms. Larger terraces overlook the central courtyard and peek out from the corners of the third floor\, maintaining a public-facing exterior circulation system that engages building users with the public realm. \nBuilding materials are varied and include the warmth of hemlock siding and glazed thin-brick tile set against black modular brick and the insistent horizontality of the concrete slabs. Large rectangular concrete columns extend up through the building\, moving from outside to in\, and sometimes extending double-height before capturing the concrete slab of the floor above. \nTour Guides / Team:\n  \n\nAlejandra Flores (Civil Engineer)\, Milian Engineering\nAlejandra Flores is a principal at Milian Consulting & Engineering\, a civil engineering and planning services firm centered around land development for private and public projects.

SUMMARY:AIA Austin WiA Tour - Cedar Park Library
DESCRIPTION:As the first building to be constructed at the heart of the City’s mixed-use Bell District\, the new Cedar Park Public Library designed by Lake Flato Architects will be a premier civic destination and catalyst for activity in the developing district. The Library was designed to leverage the natural features of the site including preserving as many mature trees as possible\, orienting the building to capture summer breezes\, daylight and views\, and creating opportunities for outdoor programming. The design concept and use of a hybrid steel and mass timber roof structure revolves around the idea of the Library as the community’s porch – a welcoming place that celebrates and encourages community\, civic engagement\, and an appreciation for reading and learning. \nLearn more about the tour guides from the project team at Lake Flato. \nCE credit: 2 LU/HSW \nREGISTER\nThe address of the construction trailer where people should park and meet is 120 Commercial Parkway\, Cedar Park\, TX 78613. \nSafety is a very high priority for the GC and all visitors to the site are required to meet all of the PPE requirements of the job site (see below).
