The project was part of a Comprehensive studio that engages the issues of design in a detailed and inclusive manner. The project was expected to reach a high degree of formal and tectonic resolution using sophisticated modes of representation (Rhino modeling and grasshopper). A careful study of the structural systems, envelope design, mechanical and electrical systems was an integral part of the design process. A consideration the social, economic and environmental implications of the choices made was fundamental to succeed in the course.

Wellington and metcalfe is located at the front of parliament hill. The location currently houses the information center for parliament hill visits and tourism around the capital. the location clearly shows effects of neglect in the area and it will soon go under transformation to be a more public space. to design in this site, one willhave to critically comment on parliament hill’s role in Canada and it’s relationship to the public.

QUEEN and Kent currently is the intersection of two main streets, which meet at a parking lot. This area is well known to contain the tallest high rises in Ottawa since the 1800s. The site is currently underused and dark, which makes it easier for crime to happen. There is also a great congestion of transit circulating the site at all times, which could get congested in the winter. Currently, there is a great deal of construction in this location, for the future under-ground fast train. In considering all of these facts, I would like to design a v shape building which would start underground, and rise as a leaning tower. The entrance is like a gesture opening the ground which leads into a central space that then through different paths can take the pedestrian to different locations on the building, the main and most visible one being the podium. The tower, in the other hand, could easily be accessed by a path leading to the top, where optimal lighting will happen. The building itself is highly sculptural and triangulated, representing the dangers and hardships of the site.

St. Luke’s p ark is currently located at 166 frank streets, off Gladstone and Elgin. The Park is operated by the city of Ottawa as a public communi-ty leisure park with a pool to enjoy the outdoors. This used to be one of the most transited streets with eh street car, and it was an open green space. After fencing the park, it started operating as a community center, a wading pool, public tennis courts and a small playground. While the park is completely fenced, it also contains a public bar at its entrance, which has its back to the operating park. To improve the exis-tence of this park, the place must be opened up, well lighted and care-fully designed. To enhance the site, I will make a frontage in the street, which will consist of a dome like structure that houses a public space. The public space is then followed by a public exhibition, which leads to a workshop that then leads to the forum and the temporary housing. The street frontage will attract pedestrians in while keeping the playground, a private and safe place to be in.
The Barcelona Pavillion a scene of reflections Mies received the commission of representing “Germany’s self image to the world” in the Barcelona’s world fair which opened May 1929. In the fair, Germany’s participation comprised of a series of industrial machinery displays and a pavilion celebrating electricity, which was the theme of the fair. However, a new space was required to preserve protocol. This was to be the place where the king would sign the book of ceremonies, drink toast and have a seat. At the time, Germany was at an age where they would no longer submit to the exploitation brought by ruthless industrialism. The rationalization of the world was synonym of the spiritualism according to Joseph quetglas.
Responding to ever-changing political and s advances, architects have sought solutions design to reflect the modern age. this is a Vander roe.

Where work and soul wed.) A modern (not old that make age, dismiss the past.) house since our sensitivity is based on past experiences language from the past, dealing with the past, concepts from the past.
The pavilion is composed of three elements: the hall, the platform, and the columns themselves.
The pavilion demonstrated Mies' own version of a hybrid spatial structure-part open plan and part free plan. Mies uses colour as an integrate property of architectural materials, rather than collaging with colours.

Mies was on familiar grounds since he had designed houses and exhibitions spaces under the apprenticeship of Peter Behrens. He was to design a stage for the ceremonial inauguration that represented the German house, a modern house. A house of the departing from tradition, from the known to the unknown. A House to shelter the unknown like a temple.
lion, one can focus on the theatrical quality of it. The theater’s curtain makes the viewer stare at the stage pavilion’s row of columns is like a chorus, a petrified performance. As the spectator approaches the stage, ator, whose role consists of contemplating his own reflection, in the virtual mirror of the polished wall e the resemblance of his early work the crystal hall. He wants to stimulate the viewer to the up most degree. hat an open fluid space is superior to a boxed in compartmental space, the pavilion, instead of enclosing anner, it does so geometrically. The walls are like continuous planes of glass that reflect objects and they seem to merge like in a collage. The full composition is a play of geometry,
e can easily say that the pavilion is made simply of stone, glass and iron. However, the pavilion is not simply de of stone, stucco, glass or iron; it’s made out of reflections. For example, if you look at the roof slab ch starts at the top of the stairs and ends at the travertine wall ad continues. Only the reflection let us it go beyond the wall, so the wall acts as a virtual landscape. . The light in the pavilion bounces on all ection, from the water planes, to the walls, to the stucco ceilings.
The rooms are divided into two main halls or rooms per say. One serves as the throne, where two armed chairs are placed above the absent colored carpet like the black pool behind the throne. To the right of the chairs, there is an onyx wall that stands like a golden garment and a forbidden temple.
If you compare his work to a neoclassic com-position, you could see that his starting point and the culmination of his work is in the intersection of two planes, where a 3 dimensional movement composition called sunrise is placed. At this point, four differ-ent planes are juxtaposed: The clear plane of the sky, vs. the dark plane of water, and the symmetrical perpendicular walls that reflect onto each other. Everything in the pavilion seems to come in contrasting pairs. The emptiness of the rooms vs. the richness of the walls. The lightness of the roof, vs. the darkness of the pools; the pillars how-ever, seem to have different relationships to the spaces. The fist pillar stands before a wall, the second between two walls, the third inside the pavilion the middle room, the fourth the other , separated from the other three walls and so it’s hard to see their re-lationship. One can way that the structure of the building doesn’t have a pattern with eh exception of the 7m grid that exists in them

ioluminescence is a center for wonder (Wonder: the ability to see through a single element, situation, or place something that no mind has conceived before). the project was conceived with the attempts to unite the Canadian culture and remediate local issues. The city of Ottawa is like the heart of Canada, its rich history is continually pumping new life into the country. Canada is known to constantly welcome people from all over the world without discrimination; without walls, a country of freedom. The center therefore plays with ideas of freedom and family; is a center for wonder. In keeping with the site’s attempts to unite the community through recreation, a focus is played on children’s wonder. Wonder in children’s development take the form of play which leads to “discovery, reasoning, manipulative skills, divergent production, and improves problem solving” (dansky 1981, Silca 1977). Through play, children gain emotional and mental mastery and lay down grown work for creative thinking. Just like play in a child, the center is meant for the growth and development of Canadian culture.

suzhou river community center
shanghai, china Arcs 3106. Studio 5: winter 2014 professor: Janine Debanne
This project involves the design a boat club/community center on the banks of the Suzhou River in Shanghai. The “Chang Ning” district of Shanghai is just west of the 1st Ring Road, a site that comprises an abandoned textile factory complex. The community center occupies only a small portion of the site, adjacent to the footbridge that leads to East China Normal University (north of the Creek). The road that runs between the river and the site was redirected southward through the site to allow direct access to the water. The community center was meant to form the “headpiece” of a new swath of parkland along the water and consider existing urban fabrics. The project was expected to reflect an understanding of urban questions and a maturation of knowledge with respect to the meaning of urbanity, city form, and city life.

ebbing substrate was an attempt to show architecture as an urban event within one of the densest cities in the world: Shanghai, China. This studio explored questions of fabric and figure as well as the role that public buildings may play within the urban context. The Name, webbing substrate makes reference not only to a grasshopper component; but also to the break-through Suzhou river rehabilitation project undertaken by the Chinese government in 1998. The project transformed an industrial polluted artery of the city into a public communal recreation Hub. Webbing substrate attempts to contribute to the efforts if remediation and attractiveness of the area.the Suzhou River’s rehabilitation (1998) is a world renowned project because of its Hi- tech, revolutionary rehabilitation system. This was one of the first projects in the world to include a series of organic systems of water cleaning (cleaning organisms, bacteria and substrate), that didn’t damage the organic structure of the river. There was a total investment of over 14 billion yuan and the project came to its completion in 2008. This project also included 250 acres of rehabilitation parkland that would increase the development of housing and an increase to the property value and tourism. Webbing substrate is a mini-version of this huge project at which scale the story can better be told.

ust like the rehabilitation project, this recreation center attempts to form community bringing together people from different background and social status. The building links the rich with the poor, from north to south, and the foreign with the local from east to west. These routes intertwine to bring the visitor right to the center and chore of the building which is the central garden. As one is attracted to this simple yet complex looking building (because of its grasshopper façade), he/she can observe a series of pools, which fill a remediation area. These pools which filter the water and use it for watering the Greenland that then is poured back in the river twice as clean. These pools are designed, the same way as the façade which seem rhythmically flow and form shapes that lead to the encounter of the building. The reason for the building to be simple looking in the exterior and complex in the interior has to do with the history of community building is Shanghai. Shanghai’s communities were initially built as courtyard houses, which were houses within houses in which neighbors could share an internal play or garden space. This was, to me an ideal way for bringing in a new globalized culture to build and inclusive community where social status, political views, or gentrification have to room.

he site is located in the heart of downtown Gatineau, Hull sector, across from Parliament Hill. its neighbouring buildings include the Place du Portage Complex, which are a series of buildings connected by tunnels (1977-1979), The National Headquarters of the federal department of Human Resources and Social Development Canada (HRSDC) occupies most of the office space with the exception of a small pocket of space occupied by the PWGSC Conference Centre on the main floor. The estimated surrounding population is between 3,500 and 4,000 employees.The site is predominantly facing south, therefore it enjoys of plenty of light and a great view towards the river and the parliament. The immediate surrounding primed for diversity, a diversity that incorporates the city life with nature in a clever way. With the construction of the bridge that now links Ottawa with Gateau came a treaty to keep these green spaces as these could be the “lungs of the city”. The site’s differences in levels gives a way for differences in floor plans and circulation throughout the building.

ccording to the city of Ottawa;s main page, “sports play an important role in canadians, largely the result of the country’s well-coordinated network of governmental and nongovernmental agencies devoted to physical education” it is really inportant therefore to consider the importance of implementing a sports institute in the right location(not in the ouskirts of the city (as it is currently proposed to go) and with the right purposes. this site also has an irremarcable natural value, for it’s current use as a recreational area. unless carefully thought; the site, with its richness of green spaces should keep its recReational purposes. Not only is it important for the neighbousign habitants to have access to recreation, but for all the youth that reside within the area (the highesst percentage of the population are between 20-30yrs) the institure will therefore require the following : Reception, Gymnasium, Fitness space, Social, cultural, educational and physical, activities of interest to the community, Indoor pool, Sauna and exercise area, Games room according to expressed interest, Handball or squash courts, Craft room according to expressed need, Trails and linkage system, Preschool play area, Arena, Sport courts (soccer, basketball, volleyball, tennis.

challenge that might be faced when constructing such a long span structure can be dealing with fire and safety throughout the building. a great example of dealing with this issue is the Ottawa airport where the electrical systems (mainly lighting) are
placed in the floor for greater maintenance control. They also placed a large HVAC system which adsorbed the smoke of the entire building at once so that fire spreading is less likely. These are the kind of systems that could be incorporated in this building

he long span roof will be made from deep sculptured beams which will be stabilized by interior armatures and tree like columns. The beams will contain the mechanical and electrical systems of the space. The EFTE structure lets in plenty of daylight, necessary for sports playing, and it glows during the night (the interior structure can be seen through the translucency of the roof. The opaque skin of the building will be cast in place concrete, featuring thin-film solar technology in roof areas. The transparent areas will be made of ETFE bubbles, which are pressurized with air. This system is extremely lightweight compared to glazing, and therefore requires minimal structure to support it. In order to reduce solar gain in summer and heat-loss in winter, I propose to exchange patches of the transparent ETFE bubbles with translucent bubbles consisting of multiple layers of ETFE insulated with aero gel or other high-performance insulation. The high Sculpted beams resist enough weight to support the building’s electrical and mechanical systems as well. If the rooff is lighted from below of from withtin the beans, the effect caused by the light at night through the opaque envelope will be incredibly dramatic, the trusses will look life rib cages in the building.

This process/ performance of gestation was carefully documented and presented as a final Art gallery presentation. Constructions referenced architectural notions such as scale, horizontal/vertical section, materiality, tectonic detail, temporality, light etc. Each drawing/model was accompanied by a brief statement of how the representation was read and how it was explored. Emphasis was placed on a rigorous exploration of the evocative architectural possibilities of performance.
T
he construction of a large site model, worked on collectively as a studio was used in the CUAG exhibition, and The constructed largescale model articulates the various elements (physical, temporal, event) of the project. The model retained the qualitative and explorative aspects of previous models and was understood as a hybrid expression model, beyond a scale re-production of a proposed building.

foggy sky, slowly draped the horizon, where a relic of an industrial titan floated languidly on turbulent water. It was time for Francois’ leisure jog along the isolated shoreline. Suddenly, from the corner of his eye, the relic caught his gaze. In a single moment, the passage of time collapsed; softening the edge of the shore was that theater which swooned him in. Once in, a path would lead him bluntly close to the tower. The titan was to him, an allegory of a romantic past. However, the sinuous path would be a remnant of an unreachable memory, and it would only guide him on a plane toward the horizon. The previous illusion of the mind could only be seen and not realized. The modern ruin was not a remnant of the past: within its fragments was to be found a history of the near future.

San Gimignano Tower
(3+myself) Ottawa, Canada Digital Discourse: fall 2013 Professor: Johan Woordowu
Ottawa, Canada Computer Modeling: winter 2013 Professor: Johan Woordowu
San Gimignano is a hilltop town in Italy famed for its tower houses. The UNESCO Heritage Site has 14 remaining towers (a small indication of the wealth, power and hubris of the town’s past). This project reconstructed the missing 58 towers in attempts to reassert San Gimignano’s lost heritage. The purpose of this assignment was to become familiar and to critically appraise the potential of the technology
Magnetic fiels was a group Work project that explored different digital computer programs and fabrication to create a scaled model of a potential installation. articulation of enclosures and connections was necesary

Gateshead Millennium Bridge river Tyne North of England Architectural Technology: Fall 2013 Professor:Manuel Baez
(1+myself)
available Carleton University. In this project, I developed a digital model and a resultant physical model. I had to construct a new, contemporary tower using the laser cutter. Materials were limited to 300gr. watercolor paper to ensure that models were laser cut quickly. I made two copies of the tower, one at 1:100 to show the complexity and the detail and one at 1:500 that i placed onto the site.
For the first Technology course, Emile and I Chose the Gates head Millennium Bridge as a collaborative case study. The bridge is located at the river Tyne, a river north east of England. The bridge unites the Baltic center of contemporary art and sage Gateshead. The suspended bridge serves as a pedestrian bridge, and rotates in its fixed points to facilitate boat traffic. This unique piece of engineering was reproduced as a big model. The model measures 5’x8’ and was accomplished with the aid of laser cutting (Plexiglas) and CNC (wood). The metal pieces were soldered by hand and the whole bridge was hand painted.
Design Build Carleton in a box Ottawa, Canada Studio 4: Fall 2013 Professor: Inderbir Singh Riar
(2+myself)
Designed a display cabinet that was easy to transport, to set-up, to open, and fold-up again to showcase Carleton School’s creative work. The design had to be transformative, folding from a volume of approximately 1m³. I designed a structure that was foldable and weight less than 55 pounds [25kg]. The transformation was, completed in less than three minutes. the cabinet was a monkey saddle geometry, that constructed robust and easy to fold up and store.
