PROJECT STATEMENT The project is conceived as a complex of spaces embracing the intersection of various systems, demographics, programs, and activities. Programs and activities are exposed and closely juxtaposed to weave an intricate network of public spaces that every journey between levels becomes a spectacle on its own. The open outdoor public space is intergrated into the main body of structure and serves as platform for users to perceive the atmosphere of arts and culture. In order to avoid the mistakes in planning that “city blocks serve no purpose other than as space to pass is the eponymous character of the urban corridor.” The building will act as a threshold as well as anchor to connect and reactivate the little jamaica community.

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

“People 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.”

MANIFESTO 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.

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 divided into 4 distinguished volumes 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 volume are intended to apply a new produce-sell-serve mode for farm products.

SIDEWALK 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 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.

35 | NARRATIVE

North St. Boniface area in downtown Winnipeg is a historical French district. The chosen area is mainly covered by woods and the rest residential area is consist of French style houses.

Two rivers and one main rail bridge are running across our site. Based on cultural, geometrical and environmental characteristics of this site, 8 site maps are developed for a further understanding of the site.

39 | PLANT TOWER MODEL The intervention is intended to reflect the lesson people learned in the last 50 years: make a concession to other species and be humble to the nature environment. The design starts with exploring the shape of an elegant and branch liked structure which can be naturally immersed into the site.

To emphasize the equality between both humanity and plants, a vertical plants climber is integrated into the vertical steel structure following the track of cable cars. The movement of plants and visitors starts on a same plain and eventually meet at one point on the top which tells the story happened in this area in the past.

PROJECT INTRODUCTION A volcanic island covered in ash, snow, ice and thin vegetation, Iceland is a stunningly beautiful country, but not the easiest place on Earth to find locally grown foods. The project is aiming to bring fresh vegetable to the local community and provide an immersive eating experience to visitors that one can enjoying the locally produced foods while preserving the production process of these foods. The competition site is within one of the most popular travel spots in the Mývatn region, facing with the Mývatn Nature hot spring and the Hverfjall volcano. The structure is a shell that block the cold, windy and gray black desert outside and house the vivifying oasis inside.
