01 CARBON TOWN Speculating on a Resilient Urban Ecology
1tC [1 tonne of Carbon] studio asks us to consider the embodied carbon of urban typologies in relation to global climate change. The response consists of a chronological infill project that examines the integration of environmental systems onto typological urban development for a coastal landscape in the town of Squamish, British Columbia.

The site is shaped to create an intertidal zone that acts as a buffer between the Mamquam Blind Sea Water Chanel and a protected inland area designated for the buildout of upcoming environmentally engaged urban development.
The lowest portion serves as a seasonally accessible parkland where brackish hydrology would yield to the growth of salt-marsh habitats, which could act as carbon sinks. In contrast, zone 2 & zone 3 are designed to withstand coastal erosion from flooding.
Phase 1 The first phase consists of constructing riparian walls built with riverbed rocks from the nearby landscape to create a series of planes that respond to the terrain’s floodplain changes.

Phase 2 The first typologies built with materially efficient construction techniques are located at the flood-protected topographical plane.
The enclosed closed-loop ponds hypothetical ly act as deposition tanks that enable algae dewatering for future biomass extraction that would allow for the production of non-carbon emissive structures (see Phase 3 diagram).
The first typologies are built with materially efficient construction techniques consisting of dome-like structures hypotetically built with locally sourced and recycled materials that are programmed to provide adequate environmental conditions for the harvesting algae biomass, that grows through rapid carbon dioxide absorption, water-nutrient retention, and UV radiation.

Phase 3 Based on TU Munich’s AlgaeTec facility, subsequent catenary-shaped structures would be programmed as low-carbon material-production laboratories that would use renewable energy technologies to convert algae-biomass, which is estimated to act as an efficient carbon-sink technology, into carbon-negative reinforced biopolymers.
Carbon Fibre Composite Laboratory
In addition to carbon-negative materials, algae biomass can be converted into fertilizer for enhanced agricultural activity. Henceforth, the subsequent typologies consist of greenhouses made of carbon fibre reinforced polymers, that are used for the production of locally sourced food.
Phase 4
Furthermore, water runoff from the agricultural zone could be channeled to the phase 2 algae harvesting typologies for increased algae biomass regeneration.

The hypothetical building works by integrating algae bioreactors that act as enhanced carbon sequestration technology, yielding to the future integration of carbon-fibre reinforced biopolymers into the urbanscape of Squamish, British Columbia, and beyond.
Phase 5 Following the material assembly logic of the phase 4 typologies, the last phase consists of constructing a large-scale algae-harvesting facility made of carbon-negative materials.
Bio Reactor for Co2 emission neutralization
This project unfolds adjacent to a community in the southwest of mainland BC, where Britannia Creek intersects the HoweASound.lthough it is estimated that mining activity influenced the development of a dynamic close-knit community, Mining industry’s operations in this region also exerted an impact on the ecosystem’s interconnected hydrology, causing environmental disruption such as water pollution and biodiversity loss.

The proposed design aims to carry on efforts to safeguard the ecosystem’s hydrology through the implementation of environmentally concious strategies while elevating water as the main experiential element for guests + the surrounding community.
The Bathhouse exhibits a natural water-filtration system that is thoroughly embedded in the building’s spatial design as an aesthetic + functional element. BC, Canada
At around the turn of the millennium, a treatment plant was built on the historic mine site to remediate the environmental devastation caused from the downstream filtration of the mine’s minerals into the sea facilitated by the creek’s water carrying capacity.

The 50-year-old Brewer Pool opened in the centennial year, 1967, at the periphery of the famous Old Ottawa South neighborhood. As the country celebrated its “150th anniversary” a wave of infrastructure renewal in Canada’s Capital demands rethinking the design of the Brewer Centennial Pool anew.

04 PLACE DE BRIQUES Creating Urbanity, Dwelling & Community
Location:[2018][Community]250MontrealRoad Ottawa, ON, Canada
`
In recent years, the City of Ottawa has worked closely with architects and developers to formulate a future based on a sustainable model of urban living. Vanier’s favorable proximity to Ottawa’s downtown & the project’s connection to Montreal Road makes the area an ideal target for urban redevelopment and intensification. The proposed masterplan for this new community mainly features a wide variety of dwelling types. Whether it is a family townhouse, a bachelor, or a work-live studio, these units are imagined to serve people with modest needs that require close access to shared communal ammenities while remaining in close proximity to the city centre.

The street parking lot at York Street in the Byward market presents an under-utilized urban space. The presented alternative demonstates an iniciative to help abutting businesses by removing the existing parking lot in order to create an outdoor living room. The purpose of the design is to bring more pedestrian activity to the area. The distinct wooden plattforms create a space that is neutral and flexible enough to support a range of different activities and events while providing a place for contemplation when its largely vacant.

Our primary intent for the Jericho Beach outdoor cinema is to create an emblematic space that celebrates the natural and cultural richness of its location. We answered this design challenge by thinking about how the purpose of the theater could be extended beyond its initial function: we tried to create an experience for moviegoers but also for all park visitors at large. Thus, we are proposing to house the theater under a green roof structure that is directly accessible from the ground, allowing people to climb on it to sit and enjoy the ocean view.
07 JERICHO CINEMA Fast & Epp + UBC Arch/Eng Competition 2020
Jericho Beach is where Vancouverites like to gather to celebrate their connection to nature and to each other. These two aspects, a connection to nature and a sociocultural bond, are the main drivers of our design: we are choosing wood as the primary structural material and we are introducing a green roof not only for their environmental benefits, but also because they have a cultural significance in the way they symbolize our connection to nature. And beyond the materials, our design wants to be accessible to all and foster social interactions in a variety of contexts that are not limited to going to a movie.

As one of the main collaborators of this art installation, I was responsible of producing digital renderings, final presentation deliverables, and models of the pavilion’s design to engage in consultations with community strategists. I was also in charge of creating CAD deliverables for contractors, as well as revising final construction drawings, in addition to participating in the design-build process by giving close attention to detail and delivering high qualityBeinghandcraft.partof the entire design-build process, allowed me to work closely with Indigenus community leaders, Glass artists, fellow Architecture students, and multiple contractors, that collaborated together to make this meaningful installation possible.

Summer DLAB 2017 explores the themes of generative design, material computation, and large-scale fabrication and assembly technologies. Our task has been the design and production of a 1:1 scale structure in the outdoor area of the AA in London. This task was investigated by focusing on a combination of structural, morphological, and contextual factors which our design intervention was expected to respond in order to differentiate its material and geometrical organisation.
During AA Summer DLAB 2017, we began to discover the means of how to integrate geometrical, structural & material properties within the agency of robotic incremental sheet forming. The research agenda aims to link the notions of complexity and simplicity throughout the design and fabrication processes.
