The cultural landscape of the Adelaide Hills region of South Australia is as ancient and beautiful as its physical landscape. Ibis, designed and built by nine University of Calgary Architecture students, is an attempt to interpret this landscape and its lore in an inclusive and collaborative installation. The work provides a place for the Kaurna people, the original inhabitants of the area, to share their culture with residents of the Aldinga Arts Eco-village, where it was built. Constructed of local and salvaged material, the installation provides enough seating for an intimate gathering of about 20 people.

Melbourne’s inner-city suburb of St Kilda is characterized by a mix of building ages and typologies, and by a state of incomplete gentrification. The socioeconomic diversity of the area contributes to its unique and vibrant identity. The project involved an investigation of tactics to increase the density of the site while preserving this sense of identity.

The North side of the site is predominantly private, residential and low-rise, while the South face is commercial, public and multi-story. Each face is permeated by entries and lanes leading to private interior spaces. A reorganization of the program reimagines the interior of the site as a place where St. Kilda`s various programmatic streams converge. housing

PHYSICAL MODEL The project proposes to connect the site via an internal corridor of mature trees which would function as a social condenser, drawing together the various strands of the community into a shared public commons. Modulation of the program and spaces along this corridor encourages a diverse mix of residents and visitors, preserving the unique character of the neighborhood while intensifying the use of the space.

The Keystone Hills project was undertaken in collaboration with University of Calgary business students. Through presentations and feedback from developers, urban planners and transportation planners, we were given a crash course in the fiscal, regulatory and social realities of greenfield development. Our group developed a retail proposal for the Major Activity Center located adjacent to Center street and 144th Ave North. We proposed the development of a treed boulevard edged by 3 and four story mixed-use live, work and office space, with primarily small scale commercial retail units at grade, anchored by a grocery store at one end and a multifamily residential development at the other. The boulevard is intended to be an active, commercially oriented strip which would connect the proposed transit plaza with the pedestrian and cycling networks to the east. The proposal involves three phases of development, and is focused on densifying outwards from the boulevard as the population within the greater Keystone community increases.

While most people agree that increasing urban density is critical to managing sprawl, it can be difficult to convince residents of existing communities that densifying their neighborhoods through redevelopment can bring real benefits, such as creating a sense of identity that people can take pride in, and helping to establish the web of human networks necessary to foster entrepreneurship and growth. This research studio proposes four principals to guide redevelopment; Intensification, Walkability, Diversity and Sustainability. Rooted in these principals, the project adresses the fiscal, regulatory and social realities involved in developing a mixed-use residential building using standard wood-frame construction techniques. The design process involved consultation with members of the development community, the city and the Triwood Community Association . SITE PLAN

EXPLORATORY MODELS
The Lucent Artist Residences and Gallery is a community arts center devoted to the investigation of light and space through contemplative practice. The building is divided into two components. The first component is horizontally oriented to maximize the street presence and solar exposure and includes a gallery space, a lecture hall, and a shared rooftop garden. The second component houses the Centre’s operations in addition to providing residence and studio space for visiting artists. This component is vertically oriented to maximize privacy, provide access to views and natural light, and to isolate the space from noise and vibration. The horizontal and vertical components are bridged by a third axis where the artist and public can meet and exchange. These three axes provide the framework on which the project is built.

The building’s skin consists of areas of frosted and transparent glazing and metal panel that mediate between the urban context and the separate reality contained inside the building. By representing an abstracted interpretation of the program and site conditions, the skin mirrors the process by which artists draw upon their context to create works of art. The pattern on the skin and this approach to texture is carried into the exterior landscaping and serves as a way-finding device both inside and around the building

Occupying the space between a big box development and the interchange of two major arteries, the Stony Trail Ring Road and 17th Avenue S.E, the project creates its own new infrastructure and sociospatial formations through the overlapping of diverse and disparate programmatic elements including religious, recreational and transit space.The building utilizes a structural skin and curtain wall system whose oblique surfaces create changing textures of light and shadow throughout different parts of the day, and allow the building to project itself out into the city at night. The concept of crystallization and liquification drove the articulation and programming of space within the building and the site. These spaces are a mixture of fluid, circulatory, open spaces or contained, reflective interior spaces.

inspired by the existing accoustic conditions of the site adjacent to Crowchild Trail in Southwest Calgary, Resonance is a multi-family residential housing complex designed to maximize the existing greenspace by shelteriing the central area of the site from traffic noise. The structure of the buidling isolates the units from vibration, and the faceted, acoustically insulated skin diffracts and disperses uinwanted sound. A water feature in the center of the site manages runnoff while providing masking noise. The design process involved a significant amount of physical prototyping and experimentation via model making.

The second stage of the project involved the fabrication a number of individual benches for a pop-up park which would act cohesively as a linear element within the landscape. The main consideration was that the benches had to be built in one day by a group of relatively inexperienced volunteers with limited tools. A certain degree of prefabrication was possible, but it was important that the volunteers take a role in the customization of the final product. Each bench had to fit within a series of 8`spaces between existing planter boxes, and define a continuous edge to the park, providing variety of ergonomic possibilities. The project lays the foundation for an ongoing trajectory of research into the interface between digital and analogue techniques in design build scenarios.

The FleXchair gives city residents a place to anchor themselves on a visit to battery park. It is iconic urban furniture designed to integrate the many ways in which we use our urban parks into a sculptural, durable, comfortable and adaptable chair. The perforation pattern is a combination of formal complexity and functional adaptation. The Flexchair is constructed from standard 4’x8’ or 5’x10’ sheets of stainless steel cut to a specific pattern based on the ergonomic choices for any one bench. Units could be individual or grouped, and all are fabricated using standard bending and cutting techniques.
