Most EV owners are single-family homeowners; the average urban renter doesn\u2019t have access to charging at home. As architects and landscape architects, what do you think needs to happen to meet this goal?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dan Spiegel: We\u2019re at a critical moment in the development of EV\u2019s. The good news is that in contrast to previous iterations, EV\u2019s are now broadly efficient, increasingly affordable, and desirable. Given that access to charging infrastructure is limited, and charging currently takes at least 6 times longer than fueling, the basic spatial math just doesn\u2019t allow a simple transition from gas stations to charging stations. On the other hand, it\u2019s much easier, cleaner, safer, and quieter, to supply electricity than gasoline. Eventually, this means that the charging infrastructure will need to become more diffuse: imagine that every parking space with a parking meter could also be a charging station.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Ultimately, EV charging is a puzzle of time, space, and experience\u2014almost definitionally a task for the intersection of architecture and landscape.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Preparing for the Transition to Electric Vehicles\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pswrRhVONpg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, EV charging is a puzzle of time, space, and experience\u2014almost definitionally a task for the intersection of architecture and landscape. It\u2019s a two-fold challenge: we need to produce places for charging, but also produce places for\u00a0<em>people\u00a0<\/em>during charging. What are the kind of activities that we willingly park for, and how can we further accommodate them? We\u2019ve specifically envisioned several scenarios: a park, a playground, a cafe, a docking workstation, a cafe, a restaurant, an event space, a movie theater, a basketball court, and others. Different neighborhoods will require different solutions at different points in time. The key is to make vehicle charging feel like the byproduct of some more natural, intentional, desirable activity\u2014and then to design a spatial infrastructure that can accommodate both simultaneously.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1516\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1516\" style=\"width: 2000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1516\" src=\"https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Basketballview01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"791\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Basketballview01.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Basketballview01-300x119.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Basketballview01-768x304.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Basketballview01-1024x405.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Basketballview01-170x67.jpg 170w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Basketballview01-370x146.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Basketballview01-780x308.jpg 780w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1516\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">PLA Playground view &#8211; Courtesy SAW<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Given how quickly technology changes and advances, how are you thinking about &#8220;planned obsolescence&#8221; in relation to EV in general and this project in particular?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>DS: The ultimate goal here is an EV charging infrastructure that is so ubiquitous, dispersed, and efficient that the idea of a \u201cstation\u201d or even a \u201chub\u201d is totally obsolete. In the meantime, temporary charging stations will play a critical role to bridge the gap.<\/p>\n<p>Megumi Aihara: The question then becomes, what do we do with our existing gas station sites, which are essentially dirty sites in need of remediation. Even if we can\u2019t immediately turn these parcels into parks, we could phase in strategies to green them up\u2014maybe filling them with boxed trees and benches, for one\u2014to re-introduce the idea of rest and shade and restorative green in a place where it previously did not exist.<\/p>\n<p>DS: Most gas stations also occupy critical locations (usually corners) on urban blocks, meaning that it\u2019s not sufficient to just fill them with something new. There needs to be a coherent urban planning strategy in order to fulfill and augment the non-fueling services of gas stations. Planning for obsolescence is one thing, but it\u2019s pretty irresponsible to not plan for the subsequent reemergence.<\/p>\n<p>We looked at 26 of these sites (a nod to Ed Ruscha\u2019s \u201c26 Gas Stations\u201d) and developed a range of remediation strategy types: Service, Preserve, Fill, and Prototype. These all share a common process to deploy EV and social infrastructure: move the kit around the site to allow for simultaneous activation and remediation, and gradually draw down the PLA deployment as final redevelopment is completed. We think of these deployments less as temporary and more as transitional. It\u2019s a redevelopment strategy with the positive outcome of providing EV charging infrastructure and continuous site activation in the interim. In some cases this will be housing, in some cases a park, in others retail space\u2014but they are bound by an electrification process.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1518\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1518\" style=\"width: 2000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1518\" src=\"https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cat01Cover.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cat01Cover.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cat01Cover-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cat01Cover-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cat01Cover-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cat01Cover-170x96.jpg 170w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cat01Cover-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cat01Cover-780x439.jpg 780w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1518\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Courtesy SAW<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Your proposal for &#8220;Pump to Plug&#8221; draws from traditions of scaffolding, set design, and event space. Can you talk about how your vision for EV charging stations, which are modular, temporary, and re-deployable, fits into a zero-emissions future?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>DS: A scaffold is not just a tectonic system, but really a diagram for what we think the role of PLA should be. It\u2019s still a temporary structure, but rather than assisting in the assembly of a building, it is assisting in the assembly of an\u00a0<em>infrastructure<\/em>. It is real, material, and inhabitable\u2014but it\u2019s job is to work so well that it can go away. Were also making a clear reference to the design of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics (Sussman, Prejza, Jerde) which deployed a graphics-heavy, structure-light kit of parts to exuberantly mark the games throughout the city. It was amazing how much place making could be done with so little architecture, which is wholly appropriate for a temporary event\u2014and in our case, a temporary infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Designing for a temporary structure is key, but it doesn\u2019t do nearly as much good if they produce excessive waste or lose all utility after deployment. In this case, ease of disassembly and redeployment is just as important as ease of installation. It\u2019s infeasible and undesirable to replace all of the gas stations at once\u2014we need to provide a grace period for broad adoption\u2014which means these same kits (in different configurations) can be redeployed from station to station, minimizing waste of material resources.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1519\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1519\" style=\"width: 2000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1519\" src=\"https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Movieview01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"791\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Movieview01.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Movieview01-300x119.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Movieview01-768x304.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Movieview01-1024x405.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Movieview01-170x67.jpg 170w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Movieview01-370x146.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Movieview01-780x308.jpg 780w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1519\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">PLA Movie view &#8211; Courtesy SAW<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>What is the importance or impact of designing EV charging as part of a landscape of leisure and\/or everyday urban amenities? How can thoughtful landscape design, more generally, aid in making the transition from gas stations and gas-powered vehicles to all electric?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>MA: If you really think about how people occupy a gas station, or rather how people experience time at a gas station, it is quite eye-opening. Waiting in lines, quick navigation around moving vehicles, hopping out of the car,\u00a0 waiting for the gas to pump\u2014cycles of both high-attention and boredom that add up to an altogether unfulfilling tedium. I think what a landscape mindset brings to these garbled time-spaces is the evening out and lengthening of time.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I think what a landscape mindset brings to these garbled time-spaces is the evening out and lengthening of time.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>DS: One of the things we\u2019re looking for here is something productive to do while your car is charging. And unlike so many other urban amenities, parks are the type of place where people just generally prefer to leave their cars, leave the vehicular mindset, and venture on within the landscape. We have natural associations with landscape that encourage us to separate from our cars, producing easy distance from a vehicle through outdoor leisure and transforming time spent EV charging from a limitation to a benefit.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve also spent some time working on mobile nurseries and feel that there are smart ways to leverage the charging infrastructure, to, say, grow new plants. In this case, when planned obsolescence is achieved, there are already mature trees in situ, ready to transition into future use-types. There\u2019s an interesting question of shade equity (the literal access to shade in hot summer weather) which was foregrounded by the symposium organizer, and the tree canopy is an important component to that. The implementation of trees in charging areas\u2014and more broadly across the city\u2014is critical to providing a more habitable climate for vehicle chargers and the public at large.<\/p>\n<div
