hi there!
My name is J a m i e and I ’m an arc hitecture student entering my second year at the U n i v e r s i t y o f Wa t e r l o o . W i t h a s t r o n g background in graphic design, I am interested in exploring different types of visual representation in architecture. I am enthusiastic about designing beautiful spaces that carry meaningful narratives, and believe architecture is a capable medium to c h a l l e n g e o u r s o c i e t y ’s s t a t u s q u o. I am an individual that constantly strives to improve my skill set and learn f rom others.

jei-tei_ bridging the gap between children and education...
Nestled among the Badagong mountains
in Southern China, there lies a small rural village called Zhang Jiawan. In this village, children have to climb a 40-metre tall cliff to get
to school, involving a very perilous journey up
narrow wooden ladders that reach the top of the h i l l a n d l e a d t o t h e v a l l e y b e l o w. S o l e l y d u e t o
their circumstances, these children have to risk their lives in order to get to school. Education h o w e v e r, s h o u l d b e a r i g h t , n o t a p r i v i l e g e .
The /Jiē tč/, meaning ladder in Chinese,
is a proposal for a vertical steel structure, that not only physically links the inhabitants of
this isolated village to the rest of the world,
but bridges the gap between these children and knowledge.

STRUCTURAL BREAKDOWN:
This steel staircase structure is
based around a system of four staggered platforms which follow the natural topography of the cliff. This system has
D
replaced the pre-existing ladders, which were staggered based on the natural
“platforms� formed by the roc k formation. These platforms are held up by
tension rods on top, and tubular struts below - both connected (pin connec-
tion) to a steel plate being held by rock ties.
The mast at the top of the cliff is
meant to be a main support for the first platform, as well as it acts as a thresh-
E
old, framing a pathway for people com-
ing from the top of the cliff. The stair-
case acts as a rectilinear core supported
by cvv columns, and is contrasted by the angled supports of the platform.

the omni - lounger, a bed that does it all!
Omnihaus is a proposal for a futuristic
living unit of less than 50 square metres, set in t h e c e n t r e o f C h i n a’s c a p i t a l h u b o f c o m m e r c e , Shanghai.
Designed to create an illusion of mini-
malism, the space incorporates the use of light
colors, clean lines and a lack of ornamentation.
It paints a perfect picture of the minimalist life, while covering up the reality of the consumeri s t i n h a b i t a n t s . Ta k i n g o p e n - c o n c e p t l i v i n g t o a further level, the proposed unit removes the
boundaries of a bedroom and the conventional “ b e d ” i n h o m e s t o d a y. I n s t e a d , i t f e a t u r e s t h e omnilounger, a sunken, padded multipurpose

it is a space fit for sleeping, lounging, working, and eating.

the 8track_ an inf inite cycle of knowledge and connection.
The 8 track is a community library situat-
e d i n t h e J u n c t i o n d i s t r i c t o f To r o n t o , f e a t u r i n g an accessible, cyclist green roof connected to
t h e To r o n t o We s t R a i l p a t h . I n o r d e r t o d e s i g n a form that best suited the site, I explored dif-
ferent iterations of the “race-track” like system
in order to successfully integrate the roof space to the site. The figure 8 shape was able to work
best on the inclined site, and by sloping the edge to grade, it invites users of the railpath to visit the communit y space. From the railpath, the
entrance to the ramp leads down into the right courtyard, where cyclists can easily dismount
their bicycles to lounge in the coffee shop, visit the bike kitchen, or use the building as a pit stop.
The library features two floors of pub-
lic amenities, including an assembly hall and a two story courtyard space. The multi-purpose
courtyard is designed to be a space for leisure
and outdoor reading, populated with hammocks s t r u n g b e t w e e n t h e t r e e s . T h e c h i l d r e n’s a r e a opens up to the playful space, which is also
used to hold events such as community reading
nights. The 8track functions as a hub for individuals of all ages, acting as a space to obtain knowledge and foster connections.

salvage_
every space is worth salvaging....
The first portion of this project was a hand
drafting assignment, requiring us to design dif-
ferent components of a home. I designed a hearth consisting of two pieces, one with a kitchenette
and one with a shelving unit equipped with a fold out table. The perforated steel doors allow for
utensils or pots to be hung, and when not in use, the entire unit can closed and pushed away into small spaces.
The second portion of the project was to
design a modular housing complex located in
Cambridge, Ontario; re-purposing a series of sites that would otherwise be abandoned and salvaging them to create affordable housing units. It consists of a series of cabin-like dwellings that are
interconnected by a cedar deck. The deck acts as a pedestrian-like street that is accessible by the
community but also creates a unique, shared space for the inhabitants to interact.

Each unit is designed to
house two unrelated individuals, equipped with a shared
living space, kitchen, mezzanine bedrooms, and large ga-
rage doors that open out onto the deck. The east and west
units differ slightly from the positioning of its main en-
trances to the stairs, but they
all face each other in order to maximize interaction between inhabitants.

capsule_ save the nunavut narwhals!
This project is an off-grid research station
dedicated to studying Arctic animals. The station is situated in Pangnirtung, Nunavut and is cur-
rently occupied by two narwhal fanatics who enjoy studying and observing these majestic creatures. The majority of the year in Pangnirtung is cold
with winter temperatures dropping as low as -40
degree celsius. As a response to the extreme temperatures, capsule is designed with a raised aerodynamic shape to accommodate for harsh winds and cold temperatures. The project is passively designed for year round living, incorporating
features such as photovoltaic panels, solar water
heating and passive heating strategies to create a comfortable oasis.
