Bio
Bio & CV I am Johnathan Subendran and currently a third year student at the University of Waterloo School of Architecture. The following is a collection of my creative works. I am experienced in various aspects of design such as 3D Modeling, Visualization, Hand Modeling, Graphic Design, Design and Schematic Development, CAD + BIM Software, Virtual Reality and Animations. I admire the power of design and the potential it has to change the world in any way possible. I look to someday impact the world with my ideas, and one day inspire others as well.

02 Creative Collective
Project Intro
Creative Collective Creative Commons explores the marriage of democratizing the tool and collaborative work environments and the possible innovations and creative culture it may foster. This will empower individuals by providing them access to tools that will revitalize the means of making. This becomes a transmissive education where knowledge and practice can occur in parallel. Creatives Common is a open laboratory for creative works and experimentation that allows for a widely diverse creative class.

04 Hackers Lab
Hackers Lab This is a space designed for the hacker, the thinker and the doer. The design is driven by the constant flux in the way we use knowledge and how we tailor it for our needs. The library of tools and modules provides an opportunity for hackers to modify systems and gadgets that reveal more of an in-depth understanding of how things work. For these operations to function, collaboration is an essential factor which will increase the brewing of ideas, resulting in high quality product.
