HELLO! My name is Andrea Quinn and I am currently in my second year at the University of Waterloo School of Architecture. I grew up in London, Ontario but now live in Cambridge, Ontario while completing my education at Waterloo. I am passionate about design and the way it can positively influence a society, not only addressing a basic human need, but also having the potential to break through differences to unite a common public. The following is a collection of work from my first year in architecture school, as well as some of my personal work. I hope you enjoy!
“A great architect is not made by way of a brain nearly so much as he is made by way of a cultivated, enriched heart.” - Frank Lloyd Wright

JUNK IN COLLABORATION WITH CHARLES KIM, AMBER LECLAIR, AND NICOLE RATAJCZAK. Located in downtown Cambridge, ON, this project is composed of multiple self-contained residential spaces on a site that would otherwise be considered useless or “junk� space. In our design, we focused on providing the opportunity for a strong community life to develope among the residents, and on providing green space because we were on a parking lot site. As a result of these decisions, the inner courtyard became central to our design, and the point around which the entire project developed.

READING NOOK This window design is composed of prefabricated pieces made to fit through a regular doorframe. It supports the only heating, ventilation, and daylighting for a large room or studio, and creates a comfortable connection from interior to exterior space. The concrete acts as thermal massing through the use of two trombe walls, which also provide storage shelving for personal objects. The window can either be opened completely, opened only from the top panel of glass (to allow excess heat to escape), or left completely closed. The hinges are detachable to allow for this kind of movement, and there is a magnetic clip on the ceiling to hold up the glass panels when the window is open. It can be used in anything from a private country home to an urban high-rise apartment.

MODERN LOFT Modern lofts was a proposal for an alternative to a conventional condominium development in downtown Toronto, ON. It was meant to be a building for the future, with a space on the ground level for public use and the rest dedicated to residences. It offers opportunity for increased density in the area, and encourages community integration.

THE COCOON IN COLLABORATION WITH SONJA BERG. SSEF COMPETITION 2013 The challenge for this competition was to create Pop-Up architecture. Built out of steel, the main goals for the design were sustainability, temporality, social relevance, and responsiveness to the site. These Cocoon-like seating pods provide a space for rest, offering shade and a moment of privacy within the busy surroundings of the urban environment. The adaptable lengths can easily be assembled along a park pathway, a sunny dockside, or within a public square. A place of shelter and relaxation, they contribute to the public context, while providing users with a sense of privacy and intimacy. Subtle, solar powered lighting creates a soft glow and safely lit atmosphere. Overhead, vines grow and contribute shade and relief from the hot sun. Appropriate in a bustling city square as a place for professionals to eat lunch, or on a breezy seaside where pedestrians can take a break to curl up and read. The cocoons help to establish a spatial experience that speaks both to the public area to which they belong, and the solitude that can be felt by those who choose to relax in them.

OASIS Located in the lush rainforests off the coast of Gabon, Africa, in the province of Ogooué-Maritime, lies an oasis high up in the trees. This light, wooden structure, made of mostly bamboo is the perfect escape from the extreme heat and humidity of this African climate, which has an average yearly temperature of 26°C. As you climb the hanging ladder, you ascend into an open and airy space, high above the predators on the ground. You can choose to walk along the 360° lookout, or fall into a hammock to escape the many insects. No matter where you are in this oasis, you are open to the air. Each material used in this structure can be found in the surrounding rainforest. The roof is made of small pieces of bamboo, which allow the rising hot air to escape, while at the same time providing shade and protection from rainfall. The soothing sound of falling rain can be heard during the frequent showers in this area, which produce 1500mm to 2000mm of precipitation per year.

The bamboo used for the roof allows for maximum air circulation, while still providing protection from the rain and sun.
The bamboo walls are made up of rotating doors, which can be used to make the space either completely open or closed off. Even when closed, there are still gaps between the bamboo to allow for air circulation.
The ladder and hammocks are made of vines from the rainforest.
The mesh netting around the entrance provides a view straight down to the forest floor and gives the illusion of sitting or standing in midair. It also allows all the vines attached to the ladder to swing from the roof.

This is the ultimate refuge for a jungle explorer, particularily one who likes to climb. With vines used for many parts of construction, there are plenty of things to climb on or hang from, including the ladder that takes you up to this oasis. In addition, no matter where you are, there is always a view to your surroundings.
