Architecture & Design // 2019
Hi! I’m Eugene Woo. I’m currently in my second year at the University of Waterloo School of Architecture. To me, architecture is the study of experience. It is the design of society and its spaces. To me, architecture lies at the crossroads of a variety of disciplines and, in coordination with these disciplines, seeks to improve the lives of its users. I am always looking to further develop my skills and expand my understanding of architecture. I hope to continue my growth at your firm and contribute to your success. Thank you for your time. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

To Whom It May Concern, Eugene Woo joined us as a scenic artist on the set of the Netflix production “Ginny and Georgia.� He worked on set from July 30th to August 23rd. Eugene was a pleasure to have around. He worked well alongside other scenic artists and fit well amongst the crew. Eugene approached each new task with outstanding enthusiasm and attention to detail. He adapted quickly to the film studio environment and worked exceptionally well in self-directed tasks. During his stay on set at TriBro Studios, he worked primarily as a painter. His diligence and craftsmanship contributed to the production of a well-constructed, cohesive television set. Eugene acquired set design and construction knowledge with incredible ease. Most notable of all, Eugene demonstrated an infectious desire to learn, always asking questions whenever unsure of a task or, simply, out of passion and curiosity for set design and film. I believe that Eugene will be a valuable asset to any design studio. He is a quick learner and contributed immensely to the construction of the set in the time that he was with us. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Alison Campbell Key Scenic Artist Phone: (647)-886-4871 Email: alisonc@hotmail.com

Belle et La Bete takes advantage of light, darkness, and height to produce a brooding atmosphere. Throughout the whole scene, light plays a pivotal role in deliberating Belle’s movement through the space. The play between dark and light—compression and expansion—makes for a contemplative and conscientious journey through the space.

Dreams The beauty of this scene stems from the strength of its setting. The forest is ethereal, as even light is dictated by the form and clustering of the trees: the

SYSTEMS The final HEED assessment determined a total yearly energy consumption of 48000 kWh from a variety of appliances, equipment, lighting and heating necessary within the research centre. From the 30 photovoltaic panels, 21120 kWh is generated, this amount being restricted by the limited to zero daily sunlight hours from the months of November to February at Point Hope. With the abundance of wind resource at the site, one 10kW wind turbine, 30 metres in height, generates the remaining 26880 kWh of energy yearly, completing the goal of net zero energy. As the arctic climate causes accumulation of ice on the turbine blades that results in an decrease in power output, choosing the appropriate wind turbine for this climate was paramount. The 30kW wind turbine from Zenia Energy accomplishes this.
WATER Harvesting water from thaw bulbs in permafrost, Hope Storm Research Centre takes full advantage of the vast groundwater supply in Alaska, allowing the building to achieve net zero water levels. Water is pumped from level 0 of the building, filtered, then stored in a tank for usage. Greywater produced within the building is recycled through the same filtration tank. All plumbing fixtures of Hope Storm Research Centre is low-flow, contributing to the overall decrease of water usage.
