DRONE-O-DRONE

Vertical Warehouse

Technology has a huge impact on our lives and every innovation is intended to make the human life comfortable. In the near future shipping and receiving goods with the help of new technology such as drones will be made within a few hours or minutes. The project investigates the operations of warehouse technologies to create a system that applies to the future of e-commerce through vertical warehouse typology. The site is located in Hollywood. It is where drone flight operations take place delivering goods within 10 mile radius. There are four ramps that are connected to the building where two rams are for the trucks to deliver the goods to the warehouse and the other two ramps are for the long distance deliveries and connect to Vermont street. The building responds to the idea of creating an aviation airfield for drones as well as bringing the gardens back that once exited in the site. The land that was removed for the construction of the building is reused to design the landscape for public use. It includes garden areas as well as bazar trading area. The Drone-O-Drome has a vertical and horizontal lift distributed circulation that takes each package to the specific storage (large, medium, small, refrigerated). It includes an atrium where mechanical lifts and elevators are located that connect all the program together with bridges and conveyors. The building is a futuristic warehouse that is made with steel structure. The structure is design to lift the storages space from the ground and create public space at the bottom.
