My thesis topic is about the habitation of Mars. In my undergraduate architecture degree, I majored in Conservation and Sustainability, which really opened my eyes to heritage conservation and adaptive reuse. I consider myself to be a hard working individual with an enthusiastic approach to work. I am a pro-active member of any team but also ready, willing and able to work on an individual basis or take control of a team if necessary. I am highly adaptive to new work surroundings and processes, with the ability to handle a fast learning curve.

Assisted in developing a social media (Twitter, Instagram and Facebook) marketing presence for the Azrieli School of Architecture.
I helped distribute food to people that used the food bank and was a runner for helping people get their food home.
I assisted in building a home for a family in need as well as help assist in making children playhouses for Bread and Honey Festival in Streetsville, Ontario.
The site of the Old Ottawa Workshops in Mechanicsville were to be re-purposed into a facility that provided architectural elements. The site used to be used for heavy truck and bus repair. The building has a concrete frame structure with brick infill. The site is also home to the Ottawa Bylaw office where cars and trucks that belong to the city are parked and Bylaw operates out of. The site is adjacent to the snow dump grounds for when there is excess snow on the streets during the winter. For my proposal, I decided to grow bamboo in order to make cross laminated timber (Bamboo) panels. The project will integrate three buildings that will create a closed loop for the growth, processing and production of BAMBOO CROSS LAMINATE TIMBER (BCLT). Phased in six years, the first phase will focus with the growth of the bamboo in a greenhouse that houses 1440m2 of forest growth. The greenhouse will be optimized for the perfect conditions to promote bamboo growth. Initially, the bamboo will take approximately 5 years to mature before it can be harvested to be used for timber, then it will be harvested annually after that. The second phase will focus on the adaptive reuse the existing building at 7 BAYVIEW RD. BCLT panels from the on-site production will be used in its renovation. The primary objective is to manufacture cross laminated timber wall panels, floors, columns, and beams from bamboo. Bamboo is a member of the grass family, being the largest and fastest growing, therefore it is extremely sustainable to grow and use as timber. In perfect conditions, certain species of bamboo can grow 3 feet within a 24-hour period. This means that bamboo can be used as an alternate to traditional timbers used in construction. Bamboo has a higher specific compressive strength than wood, brick, or concrete and a specific tensile strength that rivals steel.
Cross laminated timber (CLT) is a large-scale, prefabricated, solid engineered wood panel. It is lightweight yet very strong, with superior acoustic, fire, seismic, and thermal performance, CLT is also fast and easy to install, and generates little to no waste on-site. CLT offers flexibility in its design and has low environmental impacts. Cross laminated timber is alternative to conventional building materials like concrete, masonry, or steel, especially in multi-family and commercial construction. CLT panels consists of several layers of kiln-dried timber (or bamboo) boards stacked in alternating directions, bonded with structural adhesives, and pressed to form a solid, straight, rectangular panel. CLT panels consist of an odd number of layers and may be sanded or prefinished before shipping. While at the mill, CLT panels are cut to size, including door and window openings by the use of a CNC router. Finished CLT panels are exceptionally stiff, strong, and stable, handling load transfer on all sides. The two building combined would produce sustainable ways of producing higher quality building materials that are an alternative to traditional construction techniques.
(Im)Permanency RETHINKING VICTORIA ISLAND, CHAUDIERE FALLS
PROPOSED INTERVENTION
BRIEF
Offer a tangible and intangible arts/cultural centre on the east side of the island. The goal is to offer indoor and outdoor studio spaces for Aboriginal and non-aboriginal artists.
To propose and examine/rethink viable solutions for the revitalization of a site that is both very significant and very complex – Victoria Island on the Ottawa River. Participants were asked to preserve, reinterpret and reuse the emblematic site as a public space. Solutions are encouraged to explore the issues of access and to create a center of attention in Ottawa, the relationship between preservation and design (both architectural and cultural landscape), land use, water management, habitat protection and respect for the Algonquin community. Solutions should explore the place in order to propose initiatives that are coherent with the past and consistent with the aspirations for the future of all stakeholders of this place, including the Algonquin Anishinabeg peoples.
1. Wilson Carbide mill - repair with sympathetic and durable materials. Will be used to house large gathering space for public events or even private. 2.

INCURVATION INTERFERENCE THEORY (regarding human memory) “occurs in learning when there is an interaction between the new material and transfer effects of past learned behavior, memories or thoughts that have a negative influence in comprehending the new material”
ACTIVE
(RETRO) (PRO)
INCURVATION: TO CAUSE TO BEND INTO AN INWARD CURVE; CURVED INWARD. THE PLATFORMS ARE ALWAYS DIRECTING PEOPLE BACK TOWARDS THE BRIDGE IN AN ATTEMPT TO EMPHASIZE THE HISTORY OF THE ORIGINAL BRIDGE.
DESIGN WITH MINIMAL INTERVENTION IN MIND, THE THEORY OF INTERFERENCE IS THE CONCEPT THAT FORGETTING OCCURS WHEN ONE MEMORY REPLACES OR BECOMES ENTANGLED WITH ANOTHER. INTERFERENCE THEORY CAN BE BROKEN DOWN TO 2 PARTS: RETROACTIVE: WHEN NEW MEMORIES INTERFERE AND IMPEDE WITH THE RECALL OF THE OLD PROACTIVE: WHEN OLD MEMORIES INTERFERE WITH THE RETENTION OF NEW MEMORIES THE MEMORIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE OLD BRIDGE WILL BE BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE THROUGH DIFFERENT DETAILS. EACH ELEMENT BRINGS BACK SOMETHING OF THE PAST THAT THE LOCALS WILL BE ABLE TO RECALL AND RELATE TO. NEW MEMORIES AND ASSOCIATIONS WILL HOPEFULLY BE BROUGHT TO LIFE WITH THE ADDITION OF VIEWING PLATFORMS. THE HOPE IS THAT THE MEMORIES WILL MESH TOGETHER AND THE OLD ONES ARE NOT LOST BY THE NEW. WITH THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY BEING SUCH A BIG PART TO ALMONTE’S HISTORY, THE POWER SYSTEM FOR THE LIGHTING WILL HARVEST ENERGY FROM THE RIVER TO GENERATE ELECTRICITY; THIS TRANSLATES TO MINIMAL INTERFERENCE ON THE ENVIRONMENT.
ST. RAFAEL PAVILION
Sports Psychology Research
For the adaptive reuse of the St. Rafael Pavilion in the Hospital de Sant Pau, it is recommended that the building be converted to a sport psychology research lab. This lab is aimed to help the students at the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona. The goal of the research centre is to promote personal excellence and healthy active living through sports. The pavilions structural elements will help the lab to promote healthy living through the buildings cross ventilation and natural air circulation properties.
the focus of the project is on healthy active living and improving psychological factors while exercising. the notion of the cycle is the primary concept of the centre. visitors circulate the centre based on a cycle that is created for sport psychology assessment. the cycle is present throughout the entire experience a user is in the centre. gallery - circuit of exercises library - central bookshelf system
A gallery, library, offices, and labs are all part of the building. The gallery will be that of fitness, a testing/exercise gallery. The library where students will be able to research anything sports/fitness related is nestled under a yoga mezzanine. In the basement are a series of labs where patients go through different stages of assessment and testing. The existing tunnel systems will serve as a running track. The tunnel will be lined with ventilation shafts and solar tubes which run up to the surface to further promote natural ventilation of air and light.
yoga mezzanine - circular in shape labs - based on the sport psychology cycle from the cycling through the rooms on the path of well being, the user themselves are experiencing a cycle through psychological and physical testing. DIAGNOSTICS

ST. RAFAEL PAVILION RECORDING HISTORY
AS A CLASS WE TRAVELED TO BARCELONA, SPAIN WHERE WE HAND MEASURED AND RECORDED THE ST. RAFAEL PAVILION AT HOSPITAL DE SANT PAU. IN 1401, SIX HOSPITALS IN THE CITY OF BARCELONA MERGED TO FORM THE HOSPITAL DE LA SANTA CREU, A FINE EXAMPLE OF CIVILIAN GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE. WITH THE GROWTH OF THE CITY AND THE ADVANCES IN MEDICINE IN THE 19TH CENTURY, THE CENTRE WAS UNABLE TO MEET THE DEMANDS OF THE TIME AND CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW BUILDING WAS PROPOSED.
THE ARCHITECTURAL COMPLEX OF HOSPITAL DE LA SANTA CREU I SANT PAU IS AN UNMISTAKABLE LANDMARK IN THE CULTURE AND HERITAGE OF BARCELONA CITY IN PARTICULAR AND IN CATALONIA IN GENERAL. ITS ARCHITECTURAL AND PATRIMONIAL VALUE EXTENDS BEYOND ITS URBAN LOCATION AND THE SITE HAS WON EUROPEAN AND INTERNATIONAL ACCLAIM. IN 1997, TOGETHER WITH THE PALAU DE LA MUSICA CATALANA, THE HOSPITAL WAS DECLARED A WORLD HERITAGE SITE BY UNESCO FOR ITS SINGULAR ARCHITECTURAL AND ARTISTIC BEAUTY.
MAGNETIC FIELDS
As part of an advanced computer modelling class, our group created a system that shows magnetic fields between multiple objects that originate from a central point and go to smaller objects that orbit around the central node. Created on Rhinoceros 5 with the Grasshopper plug-in
CARLETON UNIVERSITY FSAE RACE CAR RR11/12 A BIG DREAM OF MINE IS TO DESIGN AND BUILD MY OWN CAR. I WAS ABLE TO DO THIS WHEN THE CARLETON UNIVERSITY FSAE RACE TEAM ASKED ME TO DESIGN THE SHELL FOR THEIR 2011/2012 RACE CAR. THE TEAM WANTED A CAR THAT WAS CLASSIC FORMULA 1, CROSSED WITH MODERN AIRCRAFT DESIGN ELEMENTS. I LOOKED TO THE BOEING F22 RAPTOR FOR THE SHAPE OF THE NOSE CONE AS WELL AS THE MCLAREN MP4/4 RACED BY AYRTON SENNA AND ALAIN PROST FOR THE AIR INTAKE PODS. THE SHELL WAS RACED FOR 2 YEARS AND LATER ADAPTED FOR THE NEW FRAME OF THE CAR IT WAS CHANGED.
UHA LONDON Whilst at UHA London I worked on 2 major projects in the Shymkent, the third most populous city in Kazakhstan. The firm was approached by an oil company to design and build a shopping mall and office tower with high-end retail on the lower levels. Shymkent Mall will sit in the newest area of Shymkent located just north of the current city centre. The mall will sit south of the new Grand Mosque, and be the new centre piece for the new city centre. Major features of the new mall will include: movie theatre (with full IMAX), grocery store, kidszone, roof top terraces, high-end retail and food corner, and a large central attrium that plays host to a full height (4 storey) learning/experience aquarium, stage/exhibition area and multifuntional display.
Shymkent Tower will be the new headquarters for South Oil. At the base of the Tower sits a high end retail arcade filled with designer labels. There are also 2 major banks located on the ground floor. On top of the arcade is roof terrace where shoppers and employees can sit and relax. The Tower will be connected to the brand new Roxos Hotel located on the south west corner of the site. South Oil wants it’s visitors to be able to stay in 5 star luxury, shop the best labels in the world and conduct business meetings all while staying indoors. The Tower is designed with sloped roof blocks designed to mimic the surrounding mountain ranges. All top floors have roof terraces for employees to experience the views the city and landscape. The top floor is dedicated entirely for the Chairman of the company and features, private elevator when needed, double height ceilings, fitness area and spa, and swimming pool.
