THE CONCEPT OF THIS PROJECT IS TO CONTINUE THE GEOMETRY OF THE SITE AND BLUR THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN ARCHIECTURE AND NATURAL ENVIRENMENT.
MANIFESTO The project is conceived as an amalgamation of buildings, embracing the intersection of Deer bay natural environment, programs, and activities. The building simply manifests the geometry of the site into a built form, results in a chain reaction of unexpected events and situations. Students and faculties are allowed to interact with both indoor and outdoor space freely through the building.

11 | MANIFESTO
“IPeople have always dumped undesirable objects in the ocean. As if the sea was a blank void where things could disappear. But things do not vanish just because they are hidden from humans. The ocean is being filled with plastic packages and “disposable” products. They move through unknown worlds of submarine ecosystems. We know less about the deep oceans, than outer space. If only we knew. If only we could see. Then maybe we would change.e”
From the food packaging to the clothes we wear, plastic is everywhere. It only takes us 2 seconds to consume plastic, so we never pay attention to the large impact of this everyday essential on the marine environment. Scientific evidences have shown that seabirds eat it and get tangled in it, but humankind is only just beginning to envisage the emergency of their health and survival. This project is aiming to provide visitors with a different vision on the small plastic objects by bounding plastic straws into bionic shapes for seabirds nesting. Plastic straws as an unsustainable material are used in a sustainable way of construction. The supporting structures are eliminated to emphasize the relationship between two different spaces for birds nesting and human activity in respective.

CONCEPT Located in the central area of Toronto, this project focuses on bringing a new food ecology to the city, redefine the local food production and marketing. The main structure is devided into 4 distinguished volumns that dedicated to various programs as administration, food market, food hub and greenhouse farming.
The steel structure system is designed to be fit flexibly with urban farming activities, including traditional farming, vertical farming and greenhouse farming. The suspended platform structure in the central volumn are intended to apply an inventional produce-sell-serve mode for farm products.

25 | CONCEPT Site View by Yiran Ma
Coming up to the 1970s, the hydroelectric demand of the entire North America significantly increased with the boomed industry development and population consumption. As more dams were constructed to meet the demand for energy, reservoirs accumulated a massive amount of fresh water coming from the upstream during summers, compared to the previous periods, where the stored freshwater was utilized to produce heating energy during winters. As some research showcased, when the main powerhouse starts strewing, 350 times the natural amount of freshwater would get into the sea water system which

was converted from salt to a freshwater habitat. This reversed seasonal input brings huge effects on the ice formation process and the ecosystem of Belcher Islands. Located on the inner gulf of Belcher Islands, Chasing the Ice is a project that seeks to find an architectural solution that raises the public awareness of this climatic issue that affects one of the most vulnerable lands on the earth. The spiral stairs bring visitor to the level that gets the view to the floe edge area on the water. The exterior shell is designed to respond to the Inuit circular and spiral totem.

PEDESTRIAN ROAD OPEN PUBLIC SPACE
SHORTCUT Located at an busy intersection of Church St and Lombard St, the city needs a new monument to reactivate the historical Church St. The canoe museum is designed as a cultural and educational program for the community. In formal terms, the canoe has these unique qualities: ingenuity, efficiency, as well as lightness and serenity. The museum will embody these qualities into its built form. Canoes has the lightest structures and materials among all the boat crafts. To reflect its unique assembly, a membrane strucuture system is intergrated into the main facadeto achieve this lightness both structuraly and visualy. Glazing panels installed in between ETFE units to provide an insight of museum to the city.

The main concept is inspired from the assembly of different canoes and to create an interesting space in between two distincet volumns of canoe. The facade made by ETFE units represent the assembly of a traditional skin on frame canoe, while the interior wall for the enclosed museum space give visitors a sense of cedarstrip canoe assembly.
