HI THERE,
I’m Calli, a fourth year architecture student at the University of Waterloo. I’m a firm believer that design and architecture are capable of making a positive impact on the social, environmental and urban issues that our cities face today. I strive to explore the little things that work towards making a difference for the better, but on a lighter note – This is a short collection of my work, enjoy!

FOREST LODGE 493 DESIGN STUDIO SUPERVISOR: A. LEVITT TERM: 4B | SPRING 2018 PROJECT TYPE: INDIVIDUAL The Lodge is a place to reconnect with nature; an off-the-grid haven away from urban civilization to refresh the mind and body. More akin to “luxury camping” than a fivestar resort, the Forest Lodge immerses visitors in nature as it exists, not a man-made version. The forest remains as untouched as possible with the required lodgings scattered throughout the site in a discreet charred timber cladding. Interior spaces are minimally furnished and predominantly conditioned passively to encourage visitors to spend their time outdoors; hiking through Oyunuma’s valleys, relaxing in warm natural baths or enjoying the night breeze with other travelers. Being subjected to the elements is not seen as a bad thing here, but another opportunity to become attune with nature. This spa complex is designed passively and hollistically to manage its own water, heating and energy systems. 8

MIYAKE’S CHAIR 570 BUILDING TECH SUPERVISOR: E. ENGLISH TERM: 3B | FALL 2016 PROJECT TYPE: WITH M. MALEK This design build challenge was to make a chair for the theoretical client Issey Miyake, a fashion designer most known for his work in pleated fabrics. We chose to design a chair that was minimal, but transformative –folding out from a simple square of plywood trapezoids into a complex sculptural object. The use of fabric for the hinges and hammock seat touches upon his work in textiles. This chair was entirely built and designed by hand, including multiple mock-ups and a full scale prototype, instead of relying on digital 3D modeling or a CNC router.

“ONE PIECE OF CLOTH WOOD.”

Miyake’s concept of connectivity was applied by joining all the chair components together with fabric hinges, creating a square when laid out flat. These hinges also provided enough flexibility between the plywood panels so that the chair can be folded into one compact stack for easy storage. 17
MINIATURE CITY 392 DESIGN STUDIO SUPERVISOR: M. EL KHAFIF TERM: 3A | WINTER 2016 PROJECT TYPE: INDIVIDUAL This project explores the concept of a self-sustainable building in terms of travel distances, production and energy consumption. Located in the St. Lawrence District of Toronto, Miniature City aims to localize living, working and production by providing multiple unit types, office spaces, light industrial/maker-lab workshops and a central marketplace as a hub for circulation. As urban buildings increase in density, Miniature City aims to provide quality public space for multiple users to promote local sustainable lifestyles. A key theme of this project is reintroducing the production of goods to cities, through the use of makerspaces that encourage residents to make their own products, tech start-up rental space and light-industrial factory spaces. 18

The Miniature City’s south and west facing facades are designed to offset the building’s energy use by producing electricity for the building. The outer layer of the double skin facade features venetian blind style photo voltaic panels between two panes of glass that capture direct sunlight, while also providing shading for the interiors. Additionally, the shaded north and east facing facades are opaque walls with punch windows to conserve energy. 21

FRACT[ANIM]AL PLAYING CARDS PERSONAL PROJECT FALL 2015
The project was started as a personal graphic design challenge: how does one design a deck of individual cards that reads as a single set yet still maintains the universal language of playing cards? The outcome was a handmade deck of 54 ink illustrations of fractal animals. The deck is organized into two classes of animals; mammals and horned mammals, where each animal has a mirrored version of itself in a red and black suit. As the cards increase through the traditional hierarchy, so too do the chosen animals.

As a personal project, over a ten day period, I illustrated ten “invisible cities� as described by Italo Calvino in his novel Invisible Cities. These sketches explore my personal interpretation of the fantastical spaces he describes whilst writing about Venice. All drawings were completed in pen and ink. 29
