He who seeks truth shall find beauty He who seeks beauty shall find vanity He who seeks order shall find gratification He who seeks gratification shall be disappointed He who considers himself the servant of his fellow beings shall find the joy of self expression He who seeks self expression shall fall into the pit of arrogance Arrogance is incompatible with nature Through nature, the nature of the Universe, and the nature of man, we shall seek truth If we seek truth, we shall find beauty

N
Real clients submit a competition outline to HouseIt, and the clients select a winner from the submitted projects, the winning design to be constructed. My design will be built this summer, 2014. The challenge of the project was to fit a private studio, sleeping space for two, kitchen, and bathroom facility within a small total area of 400f2. The client also envisioned her summer cabin to be a small sculptural building that would attract the attention of passerby’s. The building achieves a sculptural form and visual enlargement of spaces, through the simple interaction between two geometries and maximizing the usage of the two ground planes. The two intersecting forms also allow for a construction that is simple and affordable. By orienting the building’s large glazed face North, it is possible to prevent overheating. The composite aluminum panel wall encloses the East and West sides, with a small amount of glazing on the South side. The North side has the largest glazed area, permitting ample daylight and little direct sunlight. The half meter overhangs also help to reduce direct sunlight.

The basement studio opens up to an outside patio that sits 1m below ground level, allowing for a more private environment when working outside.
Upon entrance, glass sliding door extends views outwards, visually elongating the space. As you move from the entrance and kitchen to the living room, you feel a sense of compression and release. The floorplate steps down and ceiling disappears when you enter the living space, making the small space feel larger.

The spaces are naturally ventillated through convection. If budget allows, the client can install solar panels on the Southeastern roof face, in which case, an energy storage unit will be installed.

SYNERGY Academic: Architecture Studio - Local Food Landscapes Instructor: M. Gorgolewski The project addresses the flaws in the current agricultural industry by proposing a system that combine growing, shipping, processing and selling into one connected system. Taking advantage of the dynamic, market-driven urban setting, the synergy between the various processes and participants allow for a local food production system that is selfsustaining and naturally growing.

The system revoles around a business plan, where urban farmers to begin a contract with buildings to farm on their rooftops, and sell the processed and prepared harvest in a rentable food cart. By creating a highly productive greenhouse system on rooftops and a selling point that is affordable and easily accessible, the price of organic foods can be brought down, making healthy foods accessible and affordable for everyone. In addition, the affordability of the food carts attract new business owners to get involved in the local food industry, and the process becomes an economic generator.
The entire system consists of 1. a productive greenhouses connected by a conveyor belt that carries the harvest to the pulley; 2. the pulley that hauls down the harvest to the ground; 3. the processing hub where the harvest is washed and lightly prepared before being sent out; and 4. the food carts that pick up the harvest and uses them as ingredients.

In the mornings, the food carts pick up the washed and packaged harvest from the processing hub. This becomes a morning ritual for farmers and students. In the afternoon and during weekends, it becomes a market where people can purchase fresh vegetables.

ANDOKOPE K-JSS scHOOL coMPLEX Non-Profit Initiative: ARUP-Ryerson Collaborative Working with ARUP Engineering and Orphan Heroes and a group of Ryerson students, we have designed a school in Andokope, Ghana. The bi-weekly meetings include collaboration among various disciplines, coming up with the most viable design solution for a school for orphans. The finished design will be built this summer. In addition to collaborative design, my role included rendering, laying out the classrooms, and designing and modeling the latrines. The latrine was structurally and formally configured in a way that allows for natural ventillation while the height of the tower signifies importance of hygene.
Iterations of spatial programming

Sheet Metal Roofing, gains solar heat
The form of the latrines is delineated by natural ventillation. The metal cladding of the chimney faces south and its heat forces out waste air.

Life within Tension Animal crossing Commercial border
in the dmz
Academic: Competition Studio - Border Crossing Instructor: Kendra Schank Smith The Korean Demilitarized Zone has been a 4km buffer between North and South Korea since the Korean War in 1953. This restricted land has not been altered by human hands for the past 60 years and as a result, has created a natural paradise for a diverse range of animal and plant species. However, the barbed wire that runs between the Military Demarcation Line is impenetrable, not only for humans, but for animals and plants as well. This has created a fragmented landscape between the two mega ecosystems, limiting the possibility of further growth. The proposal is an animal crossing that allow animals to move freely between North and South Korea. Each country has a public observation tower for its people to view the nature in DMZ. The site is located in a highway that is the only existing connection between the two countries, connecting South Korean cities and North Korea’s Kaesong Industrial Region. The site is an ideal spot for a commercial border, and the building’s function becomes a cross programming between a public viewing and private border crossing. The project connects the broken wildlife corridors in four directions, and while doing so, provides a public attraction close to the border while encourages economic activity between the two countries.

Duality Academic: Border Crossing Studio Instructor: Kendra Schank Smith
A
The gateway between the two opposing pits represent the dualistic relationship between North and South Korea. The wall in the middle is the looming presence either have on each other, despite having been separated for more than 50 years. Although they share the same roots, one has led to terror, the other in progression, represented by the opposing atmospheres experienced on the opposite sides of the wall. However, the progression through the pit presents a drastic change in atmosphere; from light to dark, openness to compression, freedom to terror, speaking to the fact that despite their stereotypes, neither is black or white.

From its original life as a barn, to a large holding station for streetcars, and to its current life a community center, Wychwood Barns has been the cultural hub of its community, and now houses year-round activities for a number of various user groups. The project goal was to design an information kisok for the Barns. Barn 5, also known as the Ghost Barn, has been stripped of its enclosure, the only remaining being its structural columns. The information kiosk attaches itself to the structure of the Ghost Barn, creating a central point in a space that was once used as a gateway. The location of the kiosk is also a connecting point between Barn 4, a collection of the Plants of the World, and the extent of the barn that could be used as an outdoor marketplace. The roof of the kiosk can be brought down to direct activities to certain points, while a connected canopy provides enclosure when outdoor market space is required.
