01 Bridging Arch | Roosevelt Island Youth Hostel Proposal /

U2 Fall 2017, Instructor: Erika Brandl Mouton Individual

Responding to the lost visual connection between Main Street and the waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edge, this youth hostel proposal, located on Roosevelt Island, acts as a catalyst for the revitalization of this lost relationship. Through a tessellating arch-like column, this proposal creates a myriad of new spatial occupation overlooking the water side, linking both axis together. Part one of this project focused on the generation of physical form (i.e. a tessellating geometry) and its relationship with an architectural programme. Part two focused on the social and environmental site context of Roosevelt Island and how the tessellation can be manipulated, parametrized and expand to respond the different architectural functions. These functions include a public arcade, digital media centers, discotheques, cafe and rooftop restaurants.

02 Skygrid Pavilion | Tongji International Construction Festival /

Summer 2017, Instructor: David Covo, T.A.: Olivier Ducharme Team: Juan Fernandez Gonzalez, Ke Yan Ye, Da Bin Choi, Justine Poulin, Hanna Hentze

Inspired by Chinese “Skywells”, semi-private courtyard entrances prevalent in traditional Shanghai Shikumen houses, the Skygrid pavilion is a porous grid structure that acts as an aperture framing the sky above. While simultaneously providing temporary shelter, natural ventilation and daylight, the Skygrid pavilion is a compact and lightweight ephemeral structure that aims to highlight China’s cultural relationship between nature, the elements and its users. This project was built within the Tongji Construction Festival, a competition that consists of building a temporary 2.5m x 4m x 4m pavilion using a maximum of 30 pieces of 1.8m x 1.8m polypropylene sheets and 300 nylon nodes. Particularly, the Skygrid was built out of interlocking arches fastened with bolted plastic plates.

a. Splicing of parametric arches and pre-drilling of bolt holes. Each arch is divided in two to fit in the 1.8x1.8m sheets.

b. Typical 4â&#x20AC;?x6â&#x20AC;? plastic plate & bolt connection. Each half arch carries 4 bolt fasteners.

c. Typical arch & plate assembly. Plate connectors are sandwiched into half of the arch and are then fastened to the second half of the arch.

03 Fluidity | Parametric Scripting /

Fall 2017, Instructor: Clothilde Caille-Levesque Partner: Ke Yan Ye

Fluidity is an architectural exploration of form and space through digital and parametric manipulations. Specifically, this project studies how the notion of fluidity can be expressed in built forms. Starting from the cylinder as a base shape, the resulting object is an aggregation of interlocking tapered tube connected at a focal point. This network of flutes hint at an architectural system that can have an affect on a fluid projected inside the object. Part one consisted in extracting a geometric and formal logic from a 3D scanned object. The scan was then manipulated to create a new object based on the parameter found. Finally, a Grasshopper script was created based on these parameters to create a series of iterations highlighting the effect of these transformations on the object. Video animation and 3D Printing were utilized to explore the properties of the resulting object.

04 House of Floors | Research / Reflective Critique Project /

Winter 2018, Instructor: Theodora Vardouli Partner: Frederic Gagliolo

House of Floors is a digital modeling exercise that challenges the role and limitations of computer design softwares and, more specifically, BIM softwares. The project consisted in creating a theoretical structure (walls, roof, circulation, etc.) strictly out of “pre-defined” BIM floor components. The goal of our proposal was two-fold. Firstly, it is a response to the pragmatic role of representation. By customizing multiple aesthetical parameters in Revit (i.e. colored background and lineweights), we are stating that the computer can, and does, have a greater value beyond the purely pragmatic. Thus, the use of digital screenshots as a means of representation acknowledges the software as a valid mode of representation. Secondly, by morphing and re-appropriating the conventional “floor” elements in a sculptural manner, we are challenging the imposed set of rules and restrictions imposed by BIM and computer softwares. We are ackowledging that labels (i.e. BIM components) are restrictive insomuch as we decide to adhere to their definitions.

05 Maison Marsil | House Renovation Proposal /

Winter 2016, Instructor: Elizabeth-Lee Thorp Partner: Axle Von Garde Cabahug

Located in the city of Saint-Lamber, La Maison Marsil has been classified as a cultural heritage by the provincial government. Due to its clear expression of the vernacular of Old Quebec housing settlements, this renovation project aimed to respectfully build upon the existing architectural language. The program consisted in the addition of a single-family dwelling with a kitchen, bathroom and master bedroom. Following the steep roofs of traditional Quebec settlements, this addition creates a distinct link between the old and new through a transparent glass volume. Wooden louvers create a sense of privacy from the neighbouring traffic while providing views towards the adjacent water side.

06 5020 Maisonneuve | Senior Housing Complex Proposal (Work currently in progress) /

Winter 2018, Instructor: Avi Friedman Partner: Da Bin Choi

The newfound presence of the McGill super-hospital has, and will, have an important impact on the development of the Notre-Dame-De-Grace neighborhood. Located at the intersection between NDG and Westmount, our site is largely characterized by a strong presence of health care facilities and transportation (via the expansion of the Vendome metro station and bike lanes). Specifically, the McGill University Health Care Centre - Glen Site will likely act as a catalyst for the transformation of this neighborhood and, more immediately, to the intersection between the two boroughs. Accordingly, we predict that this area will see a large influx of multi-generational occupants as a result of the immediate investment in public transit and the super-hospital. Thus, within this established network of healthcare institutions, we propose a new-age senior housing complex that will addresses the multi-generational demographic. Specifically, we propose to design a semi-autonomous senior housing complex that promotes physical and psychological independence through a intergenerational and community-based environment. Proposed architectural and programmatic decisions are all made to benefit the well-being of the seniors and 3rd party occupants (i.e. nursing students, young couples, extended family, etc.).

Landscaping bleeds into t housing complex, creating relationship with nature a greater neighbourhood.

07 L-Building | Cegep / College Extension Proposal /

Winter 2016, Instructor: Christian Robichaud Team: Afifa Aslam, Fatima Mah-Noor, Justine Bedard-Theriault

Recognizing the need to expand on the existing program of the A and D-Wings of the college campus as well as responding to the lack of dedicated student oriented spaces, we worked in the Dean and the Vanier College Student Assoication (VSCA) to propose an extension to the school infrastructure. Early site analysis led our team to capitalize on the opportunity to maximize the quality of green space offered to students. As such, multiple green roof step down inwards towards an open courtyard, allowing a multiplicity of green area. Facing south, randomized panels wrap around a glass facade, decorating the interior space with slits of light. To maintain a visual link to the surrounding green areas, large tree-like columns are scattered in the interior spaces. Doing creates fluid open spaces that culminate in a large atrium space overlooking the campus.
