11 THE BRIDGE
01 | B - PAVILION . gather.play.perform Winter 2014 Studio 4 - Prof. Pauline Thimm & Prof. Wesley Wollin British Columbia Institute of Technology
The pavilion serves as a central gathering, multi-functioning, open-air shelter in the middle of the peaceful community of Burkeville in Richmond, BC. Outdoor concerts, performances, farmer’s market, exhibitions, picnic, or even outdoor classes are some of the community activities that this pavilion will support. The B-Pavilion becomes a catalyst for new and enhanced experiences in gathering the community of Burkeville. Through an architectural expression of structural lightness, it enhances the sense of interest and respect to the community’s history and sensitivities. The pavilion aims to be a part of the community and to serve Burkeville as a center for cultural and festive events annually, aiming to increase the sense of community and togetherness which already exists within.

02 | ROLLAX . robson redux competition entry Winter 2014 In collaboration with Ainsley Viggers, Emily Pawluk, Jon Toronchuk & Anton Lukashov
Robson Rollax is a design concept developed for the Robson Redux 2014 design competition. The design is to encourage Vancouverites to connect and interact with other people and the city. The undulating wood structure provides a place for rest, play, and shelter on or under. The rolling wave mimics the rolling silhouette of the mountains that cascade down the ocean waters. These are both memorable features true to the characteristics and identity when visiting Vancouver. The beautiful structure showcases the use of wood and its capabilities in a unique way that will create conversations and remind us of our vibrant wood industry here in BC.
03 | ARTHAB . supporting the talents in vancity Winter 2014 ARSC 8000 Graduating Project - Prof. Ron Kato, Prof. Peter Levar & Prof. Michel Labrie British Columbia Institute of Technology
The City of Vancouver has the highest number of artist per capita in Canada, therefore there is a tremendous need for studio spaces in the city. The redevelopment of the Downtown-Eastside provides not only an opportunity for industrial artists and artisans to establish a workplace but also to help enhance the culture of the first neighborhood of Vancouver. ArtHab will be a habitat for motivated artists and artisans. The building promotes positive encounters between the visitors and the talented designers. Artists now have the opportunity to express their selves, represent their community and help re-establish the neighborhood’s rich culture. ArtHAB features spaces for artists, artisans and craftsmen who are struggling to find a place to work. The building will support artists who work primarily in the industrial and fabrication processes (i.e. painting, sculptors, ceramics and wood). Arthab 812 promotes a cross-disciplinary environment by providing artists colocate spaces (i.e. kitchen, washing station). I believe this will build relationships between different disciplines and improve the sense of community within.

STRUCTURE & MATERIALITY The main structure is of cast-inplace concrete construction. The decision was driven by the intent to have a rough and raw finish OF the building. Another driver are code requirements which requires 1hr-2hr fire rating on each floor. The idea is to just have structural columns, floor slabs and concrete cores as the main supports of the building.
in an industrial neighborhood where in manufacturing and heavy creation happen. In addition to that is the aforementioned residential neighborhood towards the south and the heavy bricked buildings along the hasting corridor. It is important that the finishing of the building respects the site very well and respect what is existing while giving them something new.
An important goal is making it fit in the context. The site is located REFLECTIONS The architectural features of the facade is all about reflection. Reflection is not merely copying what’s existing but rather respecting it. The south facade reflects the heavy brick materials that the hastings neighborhood currently has. On the other hand, the north facade features jogged weathered steel facade that reflects the mountain and the waters to the north shore in a delicate and in its simplest form. The west facade is the result
of these two reflections meeting in the middle and becoming a wall feature towards the pocket park along hawks avenue. The sections shows the different hierarchy of spaces and programs of the building. The heart of movement, the grand staircase, is the key that connects all spaces together that promotes interaction, positive encounters and as an inspiration.

04 | TEAR DROP . experimental pavilion Fall 2015 Design-Build Block Week - Prof. Mauricio Soto Rubio University of Calgary In collaboration with Make Calgary Block Week Team
The University of Calgary hosted a design build ‘block-week’ seminar/competition that includes the design, fabrication and installation of a full-scale intervention. This year’s seminar placed the behavioral and structural properties of construction materials as the driving factor in the creative process. 4mm birch plywood was the chosen element, which was then manipulated in a series of small-scale models that demonstrated a sold construction logic. A team of nine students constructed and installed the ‘experimental pavilion.’ The plywood pavilion was displayed at the University of Calgary campus until the end of December 2015.

05 | DELAMINATE . architectural ecology lab Winter 2016 Comprehensive Studio - Prof. Keir Stuhlmiller University of Calgary In collaboration with Noah Jarvis
Concerns about the long term sustainability of water, energy and material resources are emerging at the forefront of interest for the health and resiliency of communities in Calgary. In response the Architecture Ecology Center acts as a demonstration center to test and push the boundaries of what can be done with renewable resources. Between the open laboratories, public gallery, wetland and cafĂŠ interweaves a mix of students and professionals exploring and achieving a better understanding of the balance between the natural and built environment. Cross laminated timber, an underutilized material, was chosen as the primary element in the project for both its structural properties as a renewable resource and its textural richness as a surface. We took the opportunity to explore the potential of CLT, leading to large cantilevered planes that bend and fold, pushing the possibilities of the material. As a result, these delaminating CLT planes became the expressive architectural driver for our project. This material exploration combined with a transparent water and energy loop focused the project on renewable resources.

DELAMINATION The patterning of CLT delamination is continued onto th site. The built environment pulls away to reveal natural elements
ENTRANCE The CLT entrance canopy curves down to greet the occupants while forming a pathway across the vegetable garden
WETLAND The CLT planes are merged into the landscape where rood becomes wall and wall dips to define the wetland
WATER LOOP The Café is of one of the great features in our building but at the same time has a lot of things going on in it. Here we feature a café/restaurant, that introduces the public guests and users to what the building is capable of. We introduce a water loop system. All waste in the building goes to a black water cistern and begins its filtration process onto the Solar Aquatic Bio-filtration. The filtered water is then extracted onto the wetland located east of the site.
A PLACE FOR EVERYBODY The Architectural Ecology Lab is not only a place for students and researchers, but it is a place for long term sustainability. Using Renewable resources of building materials as the driving force of our design, we aim to achieve a building that will best represent this concept of pushing the limitations of these resources and express them as the main Architecture of the project.
Some of the water goes to the water tank room for building use such as flushing toilets and also for watering the vegetable garden. The food harvested in the vegetable garden is then used as ingredients for the menu served in the café restaurant.

LAYER - LINK - LOGIC Tokyo’s is a complex city with a logically networked system
06 | UNTANGLED . tokyo’s urban typologies Fall 2016 Urban Design Studio - Tokyo - Dr. Brian Sinclair University of Calgary In collaboration with Michael Kwan & Melissa Pope
SPHERE OF REVERENCE Regardless of the chaos, respect of space to spiritual practice exist.
To the naked eye, what resembles a vast concrete jungle of untamed, unconstrained and unparalleled wonder is in reality the largest metropolitan area in the world. Diverse and dynamic in its character, and bold and brave in its design, this megacity is unwavering in its ability to be consistently creative. Although it may appear to be congested, crowded, and busy, the city functions like a web with an efficiency that is unstoppable. Despite any confusion, the City of Tokyo can, in fact, be untangled. The city may be defined by its verticality and layers. People are connected throughout the city not only through the layers of public transit, but on a smaller scale from the built environment as well. Pedestrian flyovers, underpasses, and bridges all bring people to different levels of the city. Storefronts exist and span across not only the ground floor level, but vertically throughout the city. Signage and advertisements layer upon each other and create vertical density as well.
STREET-SHOP INTERFACE Business ads creating dynamic and vibrant environments
Tokyo is a never ending network of active streets and bustling alleyways. Although it may appear to be busy and chaotic, there is an order and system to how it functions. The city is a complex web, but if analyzed closely, it can be untangled and understood. ACTIVE ALLEYS Alleys with primary functions which yield different interactions within the space
PROCESSION An experiential journey from A to B
07 | CLOUD-DORI . urban intervention in Tokyo Fall 2016 Urban Design Studio - Tokyo - Dr. Brian Sinclair University of Calgary In collaboration with Michael Kwan & Melissa Pope
Ginza in Tokyo, known for its vibrancy, history and commercial success was once an area where visitors would be engaged with the built environment, with one another, and ultimately become part of Ginza’s urban fabric, co-existing within the vibrant urban space. Unfortunately, as time passed, Ginza, much like many other popular areas in Japan, began to attract millions of visitors, both local and around the world. Thus, this once vibrant bliss, became a chaotic place of commercial and economic priority. As a physical manifestation of the interrelationship between solidity and immateriality, heaviness, and weightlessness, where the simple manipulation of tangible elements results in the creation of intangibility. We hope that this intervention, through juxtaposing interrelationships would gently intersect itself within Ginza’s urban fabric, since it is reflective of the surrounding vibrancy and diversity of Ginza. Additionally, imbued with the ideals of ephemerality, the intervention will create and bring intrigue, quality of space, and enhance the sensations found through the streets of Ginza. The intervention will become the catalysis Ginza needs. As the structure is elevated, the void space below will help facilitate pedestrian programs and movement. The then elevated structural lattice above will provide shade and protection from the elements helping improve and strengthen the pedestrian paradise of Ginza. Lastly, its sculptural and ephemeral quality will provide the intangible essence in which will foster the sense of place within Ginza’s urban fabric, bringing back once again, the intangible social qualities of Ginza.
THE CLOUD
The horizontal elements form the shape of the cloud creating shelter improving the convenience in this pedestrian paradise. The meshed structure emphasizes the feeling of comfort as it provides slight shade during the day time and an illuminated ambient structure during the night time.
VERTICAL LIGHTNESS
As the horizontal structure creates a heavy feeling from above, the vertical elements of ‘Cloud-Dori’ represents the lightness of the structure. The idea is to use polycarbonate tubes as structural members and have these tubes lightly touch the ground as an expression of lightness through materiality.
ENCOURAGING CULTURAL CONNECTIONS The cloud will aim to encourage public interaction and enhance the pedestrian paradise experience within Chuo-Dori. ‘Cloud-Dori’ will bridge the communication gap existing within Chuo-Dori’s exquisite diversity of people and further generate movement in the city.
“Ginza thus becomes a place where many people gathered, but shopping was not the only objective. People began to think it is cool to simply walk through Ginza and to consider meeting up in Ginza to be the forefront of the area.”
GINZA’S PEDESTRIAN PARADISE
Chuo-Dori in Ginza is one of the most exciting experiences in the city of Tokyo. On weekend afternoons, Chuo-Dori begins to turn in to a prominent pedestrian street creating a diversified, vibrant and dynamic urban experience. ‘Cloud-Dori’ aims to enhance the whole street pedestrian culture and experience.
08 | HEXY . urban rhythm in the docklands Fall 2016 Urban Design Studio - Melbourne - Alyssia Benett University of Calgary PARTI
Melbourne’s urban environment is vibrant and energetic consisting of multiple typologies. People, for example, can create a densified streetscape. There are also physical objects such as the built environment, corner intersections, adjacent plaza’s and much more. From these typologies, we can extract certain ideas which creates an effect on the street environment. For example, urban signages not only serves as a way of communicating and wayfinding, but it does have spatial implications within the urban environment. Signages on street scape create some type of pattern which affects an area of the street or the whole. These regular patterns or at times irregular patterns, is an example of the concept of urban rhythm. ‘Urban rhythm’ refers to any movement by a pattern at regular or irregular intervals in an urban setting. We typically hear rhythm in music wherein there is a pattern caused by the occurrence of strong and weak melodic and harmonic beats. In an urban setting, rhythm can be seen in building facades, ground patterns, or even formed and created in the urban landscape.
A
EXISTING CONDITION
A
SITE PLAN
HEXY uses the concept of rhythm in order to achieve a much improved, dynamic and interactive urban space. The idea is to use modular hexagons and use this as the driving force of the design. The design is made up of regular and irregular patterns of hexagon boxes which is used to define the flow of movement directing pedestrians into the site. HEXY will also aim to bridge and enhance the experiential transition between the built form and the urban environment.
SECTION A-A | PROPOSED
SPACE IMPLICATIONS OF URBAN SIGNAGES
PROPOSED CONCEPT
The current state of the site and how its activated is driven by the restaurants located on the north side of the site. These restaurants are inclusive on their own as they currently do not have much connections with the outside environment aside from views created by storefront windows. The physical connection between inside and outside can definitely be improved through an urban intervention. There is great potential in this site to create a better urban environment that bridges the gap between the built form and the urban landscape. HEXY will be the driving force in connecting these intangibles of the site and ensuring that the experience in this part of Harbour Town is vastly improved.
09 | SWARM . transforming workspace Winter 2017 Senior Research Studio - Design-Build - Prof. Barry Wylant University of Calgary In collaboration with Eric Free, Jubril Idowu and Xumin Wang
Our task was to develop a workstation for at least 4-6 people in the modern office. In order to accommodate this pursuit, we felt that our installation needed not only to be adaptable to suit the various, and emerging, workplace tasks; but also be scalable to fit different demands. In order to achieve this, we embraced a Futurist sensibility for both our aesthetics and for how technology should be used in the realm of modern work. To add a further layer of depth to this pursuit, one of our clients, Yandel Malave, suffers from Parkinsons Disease. Our task then came to include ways in which our office installation could enable Yandel to perform his duties to the same degree of efficiency as his co-workers. The last thing we would want to happen is for Yandel’s work environment to compound the stress and self consciousness that his debilitating disease is already causing him. The result of this investigation is the SWARM. SWARM is a highly intelligent modern office workspace that responds and reacts to the needs of its users through gesture control, swarm network intelligence, and responsive sensors. SWARM can not only accommodate both traditional and emerging workplace trends, it embraces technology in order to better understand its users thereby creating the best possible work environment for them.

The new Delbrook Community Recreation Centre will replace two of North Vancouver’s aging recreation facilities, consolidating the services of the old William Griffin and Delbrook facilities into one modern recreation centre. The project will be constructed on the site of the old William Griffin Community Recreation Centre. As Prime Consultant, HDR | CEI is working in concert with the District of North Vancouver, the North Vancouver Recreation Commission, and project managers Pivotal on the facility’s design. The facility will include significant sustainability features. The site presents several challenges, including stream setback issues and the preservation of existing uses. Mosquito Creek, a salmon-bearing stream that flows through a treed area with walking trails, is located on the west side of the site. There is also an existing artificial turf field that must remain in operation during construction. My role in the project began in 2014 during it’s contract documentation phase up to the project’s contract administration phase.

11 | THE BRIDGE . civic landmark HDR|CEI INC. Location Medicine Hat Project Cost $ 40,000,000 Size 84,500 sq.ft.
The Bridge is a mixed-use residential and commercial design proposal for the city of Medicine Hat in Alberta. Medicine Hat aims to improve the overall safety, identity and attractiveness of the are by revitalizing the streetscape and increasing the pedestrian movement while introducing compatible building forms which reinforces these sensibilities within Downtown Medicine Hat. Our key objective is to create a building that is infused with optimism. We hope to make a difference in the community and neighborhood. Our goal is also to integrate the context, site and programme to create a landmark addition to downtown that acts as a catalyst for local regeneration. Overall, this project is to become a positive contribution to the community, enhancing the civic core and its connection to downtown. The design of the Bridge represents connection of the civic precinct with the shopping and entertainment district, connection between residential, office and retail activity, connection between downtown with neighborhoods north of the river and connection of our design with Medicine Hat’s rich heritage. Drawings, diagrams and renderings were in collaboration with the HDR|CEI design team.
