Inhabiting the -
Year 4 Studio | Spring 2017 | Vancouver, BC Professor Fernanda Hannah and Tony Osborn In collaboration with Bronwyn Austin and Shasha Wang The project master plan sits along the old railway corridor that runs between Granville and Cambie Streets. With different characteristics for each block, each group is designated to work with the master plan conditions to create a housing solution for South False Creek. The architecture was shaped mainly by the sun and the inclusion of green space. These forces act upon the block to allow light into the center of the narrow site. The cuts that the forces make are established as terraces in order to create usable negative spaces for people to inhabit. The project itself transforms constraints to opportunites to make every space inhabitable for community interaction, from public space under the existing land bridge to the private roof for residents. The elevated pathway located on the third level on the South side is an example that is created to connect all the projects within the master plan. The public path includes pedestrian and bicycle circulations with parts of the terraced area modified to fit the users; these include seating, commercial pop-up spaces, and gathering areas. Inhabiting the - yearns for horizontality in the architecture as well as the function, which allows for the transiton between private and public spaces, and maintaining of the relationship between the users, building and spaces.

Year 4 Studio | Fall 2016 | Vancouver, BC Professor Blair Satterfield In collaboration with Jenny Nguyen Southeast False Creek. Cambie Street Bridge. 1st Avenue. In collaboration with the City of Vancouver and Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC), the recreation center is an urban hub designated to recreate outdoor experiences. The site sits on a perfect spot for integration and connection. The area connects to False Creek, overlooks the North Shore mountains, and is situated alongside the Cambie Street Bridge, one that holds a bike path used by many Vancouverites. It is a location generated for paths to cross and activities to meet, and thus formulates the concept of urban hike and the beauty of crossroads.

Treehouse Jungle Gym
Year 3 Studio | Fall 2015 | Squamish, BC Professor Daniel Roehr
Geomorphology is the main driving force for this design. Situated along the Sea to Sky Highway and within Shannon Falls Provincial Park, Treehouse Jungle Gym is a place to experience, to play, and to stay for travellers. Featured in the middle of the stream, the wooden containers stacks upwards similarly to a hike up the mountain. The view on the top platform overlooks the granite character of the mountain while the waterfall carves its way down. Water level changes seasonally, alternating and creating choices of play on the platforms. The journey to each platform is designed with simple plays while also allowing for leaving one’s comfort zone to secure the breathtaking moment of the waterfall.

Sanctuary
Kaira Looro Competition | Spring 2017 | Tanaf, Senegal In collaboration with Katherine Co and Jedrik Mangahis
Sanctuary is the spiritual well of Tanaf. The project is influenced by the well - an icon to the source of water; a valuable and treasured resource to the people, and also used mainly for cleansing processes. The spiritual architecture draws from the forces of passive design, vernacular methods, readily available, and cost-effective materials, such as baobab wood roof, clay and laterite bricks, as well as a thatch roof made of collected straw, dried leaves, and wood. Sanctuary creates an immersive experience with its circular entrance sequence, reorienting members from the outside world to engage spiritually. By creating brick perforations, Sanctuary plays with the use of abundant sunlight to create a sense of experience and belonging within the space. Sanctuary is a place of spiritual refuge. Sanctuary is home.

Urban Form Studio | Spring 2017 | Vancouver, BC Professor Patricia Rios In collaboration with Madison Bartsch, Nicholas Devlin, Reese Lewis, Emily Rennalls & Yekta Tehrani “The street is the river of life of the city, the place where we come together, the pathway to the center.” - William Whyte Increased connectivity, security, and sense of place are the goals for this project. Situated between the two hubs of Main and Quebec St, this section of Prior St is revealed to be used by a significant number of people each day. Large groups of event goers come and go from BC Place to Main St while residents transition through this space between Science World and Chinatown. These factors combined with the observation of sporadic bikers through the site led us to envision an active corridor that would be inclusive for users at different times of the day and night. To connect Downtown Vancouver, Northeast False Creek, Main Street and Strathcona together. COBALT PUB YEAH
