Wired

Tactile and audible vibrations act as the way finding system within the seeing-eyedog training facility and park. The flooring on the main circulation path is constructed with metal bars so that occupants can feel the vibrations of people walking past. The main hallways of the facility are lined with an audible railing system. Behind the railings, wire is strung like a guitar across chambers in the wall which people can strum as they walk. Different tones designate the different programs of the building. The staircases are suspended with wire and use the same system of sound designation to identify which floor a person is on. On the exterior, a path starting at the corner of Bank and Clemow cuts through the building and extends into the park. Wire wraps around the exterior of the buildings and is anchored at the edge of this path, creating a tactile and audible wall that guides the public.

This wall system is reproduced on a smaller scale at the entrances to t he park, creating audible cues for orienting oneself within the landscape. The facility’s windows are extruded to tension the wires which encapsulate the building creating ‘frets’ to produce variations in the sounds emitted. Similarly to the interior of the building, these different tones help designate the program on the interior of the building. Adding this difference of tone to the exterior of the building allows this non-visual cue of program to be heard from the park and street, creating an audible beacon within Ottawa’s Glebe.

La Colmna The Social Hive My project aims to showcase the beauty of bees, while creating a functional residential complex and facilitating an urban cemetery. More eloquently, the bees dance around the site moving between the living and the dead. Accommodating approximately 170 units the social housing towers align with the old grid of the city and span across the entire site in 4 separate towers. Public space within the towers are celebrated by small and large extrusions from the building. The small extrusions celebrate the public spaces at a individual unit level, while the large extrusions celebrate a public space where the entire community can gather. An urban cemetery can be found below grade right beneath the social housing towers. The bones of loved ones will be remembered through the use of columbariums moving down a softly sloped pathway in the cemetery. The bees are showcased by being both ornamentation and structure. Each tower uses a bee hive and steel structure to help support one side of the building. This structure fl ows up the entirety of the shortest façade giving the building a bright yellow/ orange façade. These bee hive structures help connect the living to the dead as the ground plane underneath each tower opens allowing the bee hive structure to make its way down into the cemetery. This opening allows for a green space to occur within the cemetery where the tree tops can poke up above the ground plane. This also allows a space where bees can feed and pollinate. All spaces come together to create three diff erent programs which meld together into one unique complex.

The Destruction of Construction

This project began with an intent to redesign Carleton University’s athletic area of campus. Currently, the area includes several old buildings lacking consistent flow. My inspiration derived from the fact that visitors approaching the campus from the south to its main entrance are welcomed not by an impressive campus design but by a parking lot.

My vision for redevelopment recreated the area so that the first thing someone sees is one megabuilding encompassing all necessary venues.

What began as a fairly basic concept of redevelopment evolved into a broader exercise of construction and destruction. Once I had imagined a general floor plan similar to that of a flexing arm, I constructed new ideas using geometric shapes. These shapes were then imagined in three and two dimensions. By doing this I expanded this vision from a single basic floor plan to the second stage of my project.

The second stage showcased many abstract and interesting designs. I consider this stage of the project as deconstructive because the original floor plan was broken down and analyzed into different geometric shapes and line plotting.

Page fi ve represents the third stage of my project - another stage of construction. In order to create this piece, I utilized the deconstructions from the original fl oor plan and overlapped them using the program Illustrator, which created new images.

This led to the fi nal stage which is shown in the images on the current page. I began another step of deconstruction using the overlaid images, in order to create new images.

Dynamic images were created which are distinct opposites from the original model but also inarguably linked. I found this process of construction and deconstruction very interesting as it allowed me to continually repeat this process resulting in entirely new images. Ultimately, this was a very good exercise to entice creativity.

The Theatre

Expanded Site Plan 1:500

Within this project I was tasked to create a multipurpose building to house an aqua theatre, black box theatre and a restaurant. The building uses the surrounding site to help guide vistors to the building. Located at the intersection of Rue Montcalm and Rue Hanson, the building uses Gatineau’s Culture Trail, a red line connecting art and cultural activities in downtown Gatineau. Following the Culture Trail, leads a visitor right to the front steps of this building. It then travels through the building and creates a larger footprint within its site by forming a trail, boarded by trees which creates small outdoor exhibition spaces as it moves back and forth through the site. The building’s shape was designed to create an enjoyable and relaxing experience for those who visit the building and its outdoor exhibits.

Shaped like a cone, the building acts as a sound barrier between the park and the noises of the busy Rue Montcalm.

The building is split into two pavilions to allow for a separation between loud and quiet programs. The two theatres are placed in the main pavillion, while aspects of the buidling such as the restaurant, offices, mechanical and storage space is housed in the smaller pavillion. This allows for the noise of the smaller pavillion to be separated from the theatres during performances.

As indicated

Climate change, and how to mitigate it, has become a major topic of discussion worldwide as it affects all living beings on the planet. As humans become increasingly aware of climatic change, they seek ways to integrate environmental sustainability into their lifestyles. Similarly, this tiny house project aims to integrate environmental sustainability strategies into the design process to ultimately achieve net zero energy. Through the use of materials to help maximize heat loss/ gain, energy efficent appliances, solar panels, a water turbine, and a green roof, this building was designed to reach maximum efficiency. To maximize space, the home was designed to accomidate a single person or a couple to allow for a more spacious living and dinning area.
