matryoshka lodge

a laboratory and residence for the insertion of endangered native species in the Canadian Shield (second year studio) 8

While investigating the site and its landscape, three distinct features can be identified, the forest, the river, and the cove. With this in mind, I choose three native species that exist in these three micro-landscapes and designed an architecture that existed in the common space of all three landscapes. While investigating how these layers interacted with each other, the theme of â&#x20AC;&#x153;the edgeâ&#x20AC;? emerged. Fascinated with the layering of the landscape and the edges or thresholds between them, I designed the main lodge to act similar to the landscape, three shells that interact with each other and create thresholds that interact with each program and space.

degree of change

Due to the change of economy in the city of Malmo, grain silos which were once an important part of industry now face demolition. Using the existing structure, this project aims to develop flexible and adaptive spaces that suit the user and future user’s needs. By maintaining the structural system, and trying to work within it, there is possibilty for change of program in the future, as Malmo’s economy, needs, and values continue to change. Inspired by the work of David Jenkin and David Worthington, I have tried to maintain “simple plans with few structural elements and open floors [to] make it easier to answer use demands”

The majority of the existing silo is programmed for an art of photography museum, with the addition being residential. The residential units are proposed as live-work units, providing alternative and subsidized housing for creatives who work within Malmo’s art and culture community.

156 Westmount is a dual program micro institution. It acts as a library and a hacker’s lab. Keeping in mind that Libraries tend to very open, a place for community to come together, I strived to provide places for solitary work; a place individuals can work alone or in a small group, but still sense the publicness of the library. In order to achieve this, there are a variety of pods, which at as study spaces as well as light wells. The largest pod can act as a hacker lab, and a small group study space, the medium size as an individual reading or work space, and the smallest as a children’s reading space.

sections

A first year studio project, More Junk focus was how “junk” or “leftover” lots could be transformed into medium density housing, with each unit being no more than 60m2. The solution was to create 4 different buildings, each housing between 2-6 units. The spaces between the buildings act as a transition between the public street and the homes, as the site is a corner lot. Acknowledging the fact that a project is never truly complete; the next step to improve this project would be to remove the central stair access, and add private entrances for each unit.

A fork, knife& spoon

a set of cutlery designed with extra long stems, forcing the user to break traditional eating habits (third year studio)

An investigation into the history of utensils, and the manners that accompany them, and the social implications of both. A fork, knife, & spoon pervert the typical proportions of utensils; elongating the stem and shrinking the end. The result is a set of cutlery that drastically alter the form and mannerisms of the consumer

Design of a large piece of custom furniture, as part of a larger addition/renovation of a private boys school in Toronto, Canada

Plan with Context

As a part of a larger renovation, CS&P architects was asked to design and construct a lounge seating piece that would act as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;islandâ&#x20AC;? under feature skylights, surrounded by grade 6, 7, and 8 classrooms.

Perspective

Section A

Through an iterative process under the guidance of Craig Goodman and Nicole Tomasi of CS&P Architects, I developed a large bench like custom piece of furniture, that will be fabricated using a glass fiber concrete, and rubber tile, as durability was a main concern of the client, a private boys school in Toronto, Canada.

Graphics and Visualizations done while working at KVA (May- August 2017) 30

While working at KVA, I assisted with schematic design, design development, prepared physical and digital models, completed drawing sets to apply for building permits, and completed a number of presentation quality drawings. Most of the projects were a small residential scale, which allowed for a high level of attention to detail, and a more generous schedule. I have included some highlights of drawings I completed while working at KVA this past summer.
