In response to the properties of the materials themselves, this small studio space in the forest emphasizes the force of gravity acting on the heavy concrete, while exaggerating the weightlessness of wood in comparison. These qualities are then exemplified by hiding connection details, allowing basic geometrical forms to take visual precedence. Priviledging the subtlely of joints also reveals the insinuation of dynamic movement, formally creating a sliding effect, extruding the wood to become cantilevered forms hovering above ground. Sliding the cubic geometries also creates clerestory windows allowing for deeper penetration of natural light, while vertically and materialistically dividing interior programming and spaces. Juxtaposing heavy and lightweight materials, while maintaining streamlined detailing and invisible connections ultimately created this modest, yet seamlessly dynamic and contemplative studio space. 0m

Massing then is broken down and formed, creating these pods that initiate a reaction by the user. The pods then are further broken down into petals that create the openings between petals and yet still act as a singular volume.

This environment is located at a prominent location in the building, being visible from points of entry and all floors. This spatial experience then creates an opportunity for interaction through its visibility and use, where sine becomes a break from the path of travel.

Sine’s projected use at Nuit Blanche, October 2014 in Toronto, ON., would include multiple nodes pervading the given site to envelop the user in a visual, auditory and haptic experience. Each node will reflect an individual instrument controlled by the user creating layers of melodies collectively contributing to an entire orchestral arrangement, allowing the user to become a part of the whole.

The intense climate and frozen riverscape create a backdrop for the most obvious material, already present in mass: ice. Utilizing the natural properties of ice and the nature of the surrounding environment, this proposal becomes a unique extension of the existing landscape. The construction relies on the properties of ice itself, a slow freezing process, and minimal supplemental material, to be removed once the ice has frozen. The geometries are familiar, yet combined in a unique and innovative approach to be viewed individually or in their entirety. Unique to each visitor, experiencing the warming hut, is a chance to explore the exterior and interior of the familiar material, catching glimpses of movement and activity through the translucent facade.

The design finds its insight and inspiration from the Poetics of Construction. Focusing on the properties of the materials themselves including both mass and texture, and their expression at both macro and micro scales has enriched the holistic expression of the dominant concepts. Careful consideration and comparison of the properties of the materials themselves: the heaviness of concrete, and the fragility of wood have informed the formal arrangement of the spaces and materials. This juxtaposition of contrasting materials also creates instances of crossing, or joining of the materials at both a macro scale in terms of form and programming, and at a micro scale in terms of the detailed connections and the building envelope. Taking cues from the history and current geography of the site, located at a threshold between nature and the urban landscape, the design proposes an intricate relationship between wood and concrete. This relationship plays a role in indicating the interior programming which has been programmed primarily for large group conferences, as well as smaller meeting spaces and various short stay residential units. Many of the interior spaces are also opportunities for independent thought, contemplation or even meditation. Together, the programming lends itself to the programming of a retreat centre.

Separation is a relative term existing in both the physical and metaphysical realms. Degree of separation measured in relation to the user can occur in all sensory percepts. Visual, formal, tactile, and emotional perception has the ability to simultaneously separate or connect the user to a specific space or site. Separation of spaces creates a formal dynamic and bridging those separations creates a dialogue between man, built form, and nature. By addressing the intellectual, chemical, and physical relationships between man and the four classical elements of nature: earth, air, water,

and fire, a new program which has the ability of testing the limits of separation between man and the elements was created. Sierra is an active research facility for the study of fire, its behaviours and patterns. Studying both it’s predictable and volatile qualities in an intimate, yet immediate setting, researchers will have the ability to track, predict, and potentially subdue the devastating effects of wildfires along the West Coast of North America, particularly in California where forest fires are inevitable and fire research initiatives such as the Association for Fire Research in Berkeley are already well established. Sierra’s mobility and versatility will allow for closer examination of fire

and its relation to earth, water, and air, without risking damage to the user and potentially minimizing the risk of damage to surrounding communities and environments. Fundamentally utilitarian, this research facility will explore the limits of proximity and separation between man and the elements creating an environment unique to the user and dynamic in the landscape. Experimentation and research defines this facility, while mobility allows for increased intensity of the program thereby creating a new, efficient, responsive, intimate and highly experiential paradigm of historical or contemporary research facilities.

PUBLICATIONS A Selection of Works Various editorial endeavors seeking futher architectural and cultural detail to evoke inspiration throughout the design.

325 Magazine | Year 2012 - 2013

Urban Scale Design

Duration: May 2013 - Present Role: Magazine Editorial Committee - Graphic Design & Print Coordinator

Academic: The Human World Professor: I. MacBurnie Duration: September - December 2012 Role: Editor

An annual Ryerson Architectural Science student publication featuring undergraduate works and noteworthy interviews. This magazine embodies the potential and perserverance of the students, and is the seed that brings forth new ideas that challenge the way we approach our existence in the world we build. 325 Magazine represents the intentions, the desires and the determination, of the students engaged in creating a future through architecture that is tangible, purposeful, and beautiful.

A compilation of illustrated essays focussing on Urban Design. Architects operate simultanesouly at so many different scales, from that of the general to that of the specific, from that of the part to that of the whole. At its most influential, and - arguably - at its most critical, architecture operates at the scale of the city. The task at hand would seem relatively straightforward: to conceive an urban intervention - small, medium, large, or extra-large - that may be considered appropriate. And therein lies the rub - for some will see success, others will see failure.


Passive House Detail Design

Kultour 2013 | West Coast Architecture

Research: Passive House Details Professor: Russell Richman Duration: May 2013 - Present In Association with: Passive House Institute U.S. Role: Junior Editor

Academic: Independent Study Professor: Y. T. Leong Duration: May - September 2013 Role: Chief Editor and Graphic Designer

A compilation of Passive House details with accompanying thermal calculations and technical information. This textbook will comprehensively display existing passive house envelope details by illustrating their material composition and thermal properties. High levels of graphic detailing and thermal representation through calculations and visual representation enables the reader to easily comprehend the value of each individual detail. Due to the evolutionary nature of the subject matter the textbook will also provide necessary information for the reader to design and calculate thermal values for details they may have developed themselves.

A cumulative review of Kultour 2013 - West Coast Architecture, including: illustrated essays, field observations and documentation. To identify with the impact of the original idea and how it was carried through to design, production, and use, one must investigate the intricate relationships between built form and surrounding context. Cultural, physical, historical, and all aspects of the site and its context play a crucial role in the design and the success of the final product.
