Curriculum Vitæ | James Tran
What are the limits of containment? How does one re-establish a severed connection? How does conveyance of space translate into movement? How does configuration establish balance? Architecture through the lens of Journey. In a past life I was (and still am) a marine biologist. Rationality and ecology came hand in hand. Questions of how humanity contributes to our overall ecology led me to pursue responsibilities and the built environment. Architecture was a natural progression.

My ideologies are constantly refined and they adapt like species that undergo natural selection.

This thesis looks for the emerging architectural opportunities, as anti-tourist constructs, afforded by the capture of this region’s inexhaustible tidal energy; and, asks “what are the impacts on the physical environment and the implications of cultural identity for the Bay of Fundy.” Architecture of Connection The site, Minas Passage, has potential to revolutionize responsible energy practice and be a shining example to the entire world. Conflated with its rich geological history of columnar basalt and ever eroding Jurassic sandstone, this area of Nova Scotia is alive and is waiting individuals to experience its presence. The tides around this area are on average 13 metres in amplitude, which occur twice a day, during ebb tide and flood tide. My desire to utilize the infrastructure for underwater tidal energy capture as a way to create links to the environment and the rest of the communities throughout the Bay of Fundy was a primary driver for my architectural intervention, hence a tidal bridge that linked society to the rich history of the Bay of Fundy as well as the environment.

Parliament Slip, East Bayfront. Toronto, Ontario 94,600 sq. ft | F.A.R. 2.6 | Structural System: Hollow Core Slab with Cast-In-Place Frame | Outer Envelope: Steel Tree Truss
Eduvarium Village Primary School Working in pairs, this studio dealt with resolving an elementary school along the Parliament Slip down by Toronto’s Waterfront. A conventional classroom restricts learning within a confined space. Eduvarium Village offers the opportunity for students to expand their learning experience outside the classroom. By exploring the differences between interior and exterior landscaping throughout the facility, one begins to understand the climatic conditions that different plants can tolerate; the building itself becomes an immersive learning tool. The huge folding doors between spaces provide opportunities to manipulate these areas and their relative uses instantly. Learning experience thus expands along these dynamic interstitial spaces.

What happens to those weird, passive urban, in-between spaces? Who do they belong to? How welcoming are they? This project investigates how to re-establish a sense of ownership in a so called no-man’s land.
Restoring Architectural Thresholds This project deals with re-envisioning the passive urban space that results from zoning by-laws. Initial observations were the heights of these interstitial spaces as well as how isolated and abandoned they felt. Taking that as a design prompt, I sought to capture the vertical real estate as well as provide a means for the tenants of 1592 and 1594 to interact. Inverting the circulation of the buildings yielded a couple of results. One was that the interior circulation now became exterior circulation, an opportunity to connect the two buildings in order for dialog between the tenants. Another result was that the tenants of 1592 and 1594 how could have more living space because of the removal of interior circulation. The problem of threshold was still there though; which was that there was no transitional space that separated the public realm from the private, hence no sense of ownership. This was solved by creating glass façade loggias that lined the interstitium, providing a transparent feel that implied inclusion versus exclusion, as well as more opportunities for tenant to tenant interaction, establishing a sense of community within the two apartment complexes. james tran Domestic Engineering Option Studio | Fall 2010 m. graham, advisor

How does one walk on water? How does structure play a role in overall enclosure? What is the structural logic of the system? How can one maximize experience and optimize structure simultaneously? Structural Logic as Spatial Definer
Christie Pits has a very politically heated history. Currently there is a swimming facility as well as a skating rink during the cold months. Our objective was to provide a comprehensive solution to redefining Christie Pits as a public area that included 2 olympic sized pools, one lap pool, the other a diving pool. This was a collaborative studio between 2 architects and 2 engineers and the emphasis was to resolve structure. Structure dictates spatial qualities. This project explores the use of water as a filter that divides two unique spaces. Olympic sized pools on the upper half, and the steam chambers and thermal baths below. The wood slats of the truss provide acoustic separation; the truss extends outside to create additional public space.

The competition deals with NYC in 2014 and how the city begins to be reorganized for the CleanTech Expo, which will accomodate over a million visitors over a period of 3 months. A cohesive system of digital interface based upon smart technologies integrates transportation with the existing city’s infrastructure while energy harvesting technologies are housed in the aquatic hubs that are dispersed throughout the water network of NYC. These hubs are not only social condensers, but they also harvest energy and provide a framework for new ecological systems to be established.
