  • Where Do You Experience Both the Journey and the Destination?
    WHERE DO YOU EXPERIENCE BOTH THE JOURNEY AND THE DESTINATION? ANAHEIM REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION INTERMODAL CENTER SMARTER FASTER I NTEGRATED SOLUTIONS FOR CIVIC ARCHITECTURE VISION To catalyze transit-oriented growth, Orange County envisioned a world-class gateway linking regional transportation systems, providing convenient access to the area’s renowned destinations, and offering distinctive restaurants, shops and events. The iconic, LEED Platinum landmark embodies the region’s commitment to a vital, sustainable future. CHALLENGE As a modern multi-modal transportation hub designed to connect eight existing public and private transportation systems as well as future streetcar and high-speed rail lines, ARTIC involved extensive coordination of complex infrastructure. When combined with aggressive sustainability targets— including 30% reduction of both energy and water use—and the desire for a landmark design, the project demanded a fully integrated design solution to achieve project goals within budget tolerances. SOLUTION Taking a holistic design approach using BIM and advanced computational design and analysis tools allowed the design team to propose a complex catenary-shaped enclosure employing lightweight ETFE panels. In addition to optimizing the design for energy performance and constructability, the models facilitated cost estimating, construction sequencing, just-in-time ordering, and digital fabrication. VALUE The integrated solution leveraged the ETFE enclosure to address multiple goals. The translucent and insulating panels with varied frit patterns maximized daylight while reducing solar heat gain. Equally important, at just one-tenth the weight of glass, these lightweight panels required a less costly steel support structure. The modeling also enabled strategies for natural ventilation and water recycling that will reduce resource consumption and operating costs over time.

Based on these existing and planned land uses with associated population and growth projections, without significant improvement in transit services and connections, operation of the existing highway system between these two areas will become increasingly strained; and WHEREAS, transportation and mobility connections and technology continue to evolve and it is time to take a fresh look at all options to foster connectivity and mobility between these two areas of the City, including an east- west transit connection with stops at ARTIC and the Anaheim Convention Center; and WHEREAS, it is necessary to remove all obstacles that would hinder all technologies, including emerging and future technologies, such as a trackless streetcar system, from being considered and analyzed within this vital corridor;
