RESIDENTIAL HOUSING STACK: The three distinctive levels of space above ground revolves around a central core. The longest spanning level makes up the living and dining area while the two sorter levels are more intimate spaces for rest and work. The core suspends everything together while balancing all the floors towards the centre. The servant and the served becomes represented between the dense core and the open floor slabs. The mechanical, electrical, and plumbing are all integrated into the core while the rest of the house stay as an open concept, this simplifies the separation of programming spaces. A motor elevator located in the centre of the core allows for multilevel access for the wheelchair. WHEELCHAIR: One of the hypothetical client for this housing project is disabled so this design should accommodate for wheelchair accessibility. Maison à Bordeaux became the most reliable precedent because of it’s built-in elevator system for the wheelchair client. The ingenuity of the cantilever system in the Bordeaux house lead to a series of physical models which sparked the idea of the final design.

STRUCTURE: The Maison à Bordeaux has a unique structural system comprised of three legs that act as a tripod. The U shaped steel member supports the East end of the structure. The cylinder supports the wide flange on the West end that cantilevers out towards the tensile cord counteracting the imbalance of the uncentered cylinder. GEORGE WANG

BALANCE: The core of this building is what holds everything together and creates the balance necessary for this cantilivered form. It is also designed to hold all of the circulation from floor to floor connecting everyting together. This idea originated from the cylindrical staricase in Maison à Bordeaux which is both structural and functional for circulation.

MODULARIZE: The building is held together by this skyframe grid which is built up by the hydraulic crane that stays on top of the building for future interchangeable module purposes. As the building grows, the crane grows, it sits on top of the core of the building which holds the elevator shafts as well as the plumbing and mechanical spaces. With the plan of an ever changing facade building in the Toronto cityscape, the idea was to formulate a way in which the building itself could be constantly changing, evolving to adapt to the new.
24
MINIMIZE: As a student housing project, the main goal was to make affordable housing that would still satisfy a student’s needs. This required some major compromises on what was actually personal spaces compared to public spaces. Typical apartments maximize the square footage of each apartment unit with every unit having the essentials and comfort of a real home. Most students on the contrary, only need a place to stay that makes going to school easily accessible. By having the living quarters being the only personal space for students, the square footage of the dorm becomes much smaller. While keeping the personal spaces small and affordable, there are more room for social gatherings and shared remedies. LEFT: Drone shot of existing site.

COMFORT: Based on my own room, the first precedent study focuses around the objects that are found in a room that makes the room special to the inhabitant. The main purpose of a bedroom is for sleep as well as having privacy away from the social spaces of a house. This idea of the bedroom was later traslated into the final design.

EFFICIENCY: With smaller unit sizes per person, the amount of occupants could be housed more than double of what a normal condominium could. By catering towards the certain necessities of students and their lifestyle, the amount of space a person needs is quite minimal. The modularized components of the building makes it easy to stay modern by replacing parts of the tower.

PODS: Modularity of the living quarters create unique living spaces that are interchangable and adaptable. The design of the compact space is mainly catered towards sleeping and working in solitude. Students spend most of their time in the library or in class so having a huge living space is both irellevant and expensive. The washrooms and laundry rooms are all shared spaces available for all the tenants to use. Downsizing personal space gives room to these large social spaces which encourages student interactions.

2019
COLLAPSE: With modularity comes the issue of how everything is moved onto the site, the prefabricated pods are still fairly large on the back of a shipping truck. Designed with transportation in mind, the units are brought on site as half pieces which stack perfectly on top of one another. Instead of transporting three whole pods at a time with a truck, the component method would be able to carry pieces that build up to more than double the original amount of pods.

EVERGROWTH VILLAGE DISPLACED: According to UNHCR, by the end of 2019, 70.8 million individuals will have been forcefully displaced worldwide. That number has been growing in the thousands per year due to war and human rights violations. The purpose of this thesis is to create opportunities in inaccessible areas and provide an educational framework especially for countries with a high degree of displacement. By teaching modern agricultural systems to the poorest people, they will be able to quickly support their family and create excess produce to trade. The marketplace and trading posts maximize profits while more housing units can be built for future population growth. BOARDER-LESS: The permanent deployable structures put in place are designed to be modular enough to become grouped and joined up together into bigger units. The idea is for the citizens themselves to decide how to build out their village. The intention of the produced work is meant to show the continuity of the village that is ever-growing. Through the infinity room style, the model became the physical representation of space in which it is multiplied over and over again.

Comprised of four mirrors all around and one on top, the infinity box creates the illusion of an infinite space. The spectator side has a two-way interrogation mirror instead of a normal mirror so that the panel could both reflect light in and allow for the view from outside in.

DOCUMENTATION: This personal project was focused towards exploring with a more professional photography genre2. Being able to wake up in the middle of the night to hike up a mountain just to catch the first glimpse of sun was my everyday routine in Iceland. I have been a run-andgun photographer so planning out hikes for one photo was a different experieince in photography completely.Landscape photography demands the use of a tripod to take multiple exposures as well as keeping the image as sharp as possible. Now, I always bring the tripod for photos in my renderings.
