GRANVILLE ISLAND STUDY ARSC 7001 Foundation Studio [Fall 2012] Professors: Wesley Wollin & Peter Levar Team: David Gordon, Riley Syjuco & Alex Raymundo
Gran ville Island has been a primary attraction for any locale and tourists people in Vancouve r. The man made island consists of tourist attracting activities that is very alive and vibrant. The island gives people great physical experience and a breathe of fresh air. The intent of the site study is to observe thoroughly the activities and the character of the sector provided by th e instructor. David, Riley and I were assigned to investigate Sector 4 which is on Johnston Street along the Public Market. We did several site visits and produced sketches to capture the main characteristic of the sector. Through a series of investigation and compilation of ideas, our group produced a rendered site plan that we think best describes Sector 4. “There is a feeling of history, of culture that resides on the island with the waterfront buildings, historically being an important part of Vancouver’s growth...This significance can be best described as controlled chaos, not without a purpose but chaos in its primal state of disorder.” - David, Riley and Alex.

SHELTER ARSC 7001 Foundation Studio [Fall 2012] Professors: Wesley Wollin & Peter Levar
The project calls for a shelter design for Gavin, a stranded Kayaker in Granville Island. The site location is in relation to the sector study in which each student must find an empty location for the shelter to be built. The project intent is to have a minimalistic approach. Each element must be designed in accordance to the client needs - nothing more, nothing less. Several factors were considered as well during the design process such as light and the kayak storage. Light was important because the chosen site is right under Granville Bridge which overshadows the site every hour of the day. Skylights were incorporated to let Northern light in. The 16 ft long kayak must also have a storage for Gavin to place it after use. Because of the tight space of th e building location, the Kayak is to be placed hanging under the floor assembly.

GAVIN’S DWELLIN G ARSC 7001 Foundation Studio [Fall 2012] Professors: Wesley Wollin & Peter Levar
Level 0
Gavin, who used to live in a small shelter in Granville Island, now moves onto another stage of his life, together with his wife, Mel, and his kid, Billy-Jean. The family of three are nature loving, outdoor enthusiasts and enjoys their simple lifestyle. The project is to design a small dwelling house for Gavin’s family. The house is to be open internally, with divisions only as needed for their lifestyles and family comfort. Functionally - all devices and furnishings are built-in, components are to be analyzed for their function and designed appropriately - such as closets or cabinets. These components must be viewed based on minimalistic living, suitable to the rural lifestyle. The house will include a washing/bathing plus toilet facility.

WOODEN CUP ARSC 7102 Tectonics [Winter 2013] Professor: Wesley Wollin
The project intent of the cup is to explore different types of materials in which the cup can be made. Several options were considered such as concrete, steel, clay and wood. The cup is such a small object that choosing of material to fabricate it is very essential. Fabrication drawings were also necessary to make sure students are well aware if it is possible to produce it while designing the overall aesthetics of the cup. The aesthetic of it was decided during the purchase of wood materials. What is very interesting about this cup project is that the drawings will not always end up the finished product. I learned that plans change during the process of construction and I can only imagine if this logic is applied in buildings.

WES T COAS T MODERNISM California, U.S. - Los Angeles, La Jolla, Palm Springs [Winter 2013]
Team: David Gordon, Riley Syjuco, Prasetyo Mahardika, Vinny Enoch & Alex Raymundo
In celebration of Architectural Modernism in February 2013, me and my team decided to pay a visit in some of the modern buildings in the area of southern California. Some of these classic buildings are the Salk Institute in La Jolla, The Schindler’s House, The Eames’ House and The Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. The intent of our visit is to analyze the organization of spaces, materials used and natural lighting. The architect’s background were also looked at as well as their contributions in the world of Architecture.
Salk Institutes open courtyard provides natural light into the buildings and promotes collaboration.

BURKEVILLE PAVILLON ARSC 7100 - Studio 4 {Winter 2013} Professors: Pauline Thimm & Wesley Wollin
The building will be multi functioning open air shelter for the community of Burkeville. Outdoor concerts & performances, farmers markets, exhibitions, eatin g, outdoor classes are some variety of functions of the pavilion. The Pavilion promotes a new experience of gathering for the community of Burkeville. It expresses lightness through its minimalistic elements, a sense of interest because of its physical characteristics and respect to the city’s historical b ackground going back to the World War. It will serve the community of Burkeville as a center for cultural and festive events every year which will increase the neighborhood’s sense of community and togetherness.

BURKEVILLE GATHERIN G HALL ARSC 7100 Studio 4 [Winter 2013] Professors: Pauline Thimm & Wesley Wollin
The Gathering Hall will be the cornerstone of Burkeville and will hold the annual events of the neighborhood. It will also be a location for small activities such as yoga, karate, chaperone d evenings out for youths, adult evenings and many more. The Gathering Hall will support and enhance the neighborhood’s sense of community. The design intent of this project is to create an interactive community center in the middle of Burkeville Park to serve the community of Burkeville. There are three things considered during the design process: Introduce new experiences throu gh its flat landscape, respect the central axis of the site by rearranging the roads and encourage a sustainable design to achieve a distinct identity but not to undermine the presence of the town.

ARTHAB ARSC 8000 Graduating Project 2014
Professors: Michel Labrie, Peter Levar & Ron Kato
The city of Vancouver has the highest number of artists per capita in Canada, therefore the need for studio space in the city is tremendous. 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. The ArtHab will be a habitat for motivated artists and artisans. The building promotes positive encounters and public interaction with the designers. Artists now have the opportunity to express theirselves, represent their community and help re-establish its rich culture. painting | graphic illustrations pottery | ceramics woodshop

VIVA VAN: ROBSON ROLL AX Team: 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 sillhouette 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.
