SEA
SHELL
SSEF Competition Entry Location: Palawan, Phillipines Course: 1B Building Construction Supervisor: Terri Mayer Boake Most of the ocean around the Philippines sea shore have a depth of around 25 meters deep to 100 meters deep. While a lot of the ocean is swimmable, it is very hard to access the ocean. The Sea Shell (an abbreviation from Sea Shelter) is a floating platform made out of timber, glass and steel for resting and recreational purposes in the ocean; thus it creates an opportunity to explore the ocean more. Ocean users, especially snorkelers and scuba divers are no longer limited by the accessibility of transportation. Multiple Sea Shells are set up at a swimmable distance from the sea shore. Therefore, users can base at the platforms, instead of affording boats, and can still explore a fair share amount of the ocean.

IgLoo Low Carbon Off-Grid Research Station Location: Iqualuit, Nunavut Course: 1B Environmental Design Supervisor: Terri Meyer Boake
12
IgLoo is an off-grid research station for scientists to study wild life animals in the Arctic. It is located in Iqaluit, Nunavut and with its extreme weather, the station is created as a net- zero energy and high energy- efficient house with its passive and active housing systems. IgLoo is using solar panels and solar collectors to eliminate the electricity cost as well as using large glazing to allow large amount of natural lights in the house. IgLoo provides an excellent research place and a warm comfortable shelter for the scientists in Nunavut's harsh cold climate.

NORTHCLIFF LIBRARY Urban Micro Institution Location: Northcliff Blvd, Toronto Course: 1B Design Studio Supervisor: Donald McKay The main idea behind this library is the different experience of volume and heights where people first enter the library with a three-stories-tall atrium and then go up to the reading area that has a 6m floor to ceiling space and lastly to the enclosed one-floor hackers lab on the third floor. The library also intermixes with the concept of weaving where people experience it through the floor-to-ceiling weaving bookshelves on the second floor thats accented with several embedded study cubes in the bookshelves to distinguish another atmosphere of privacy in the building.

WORK EXPERIENCE June 2017 -August 2017
圓境綠能生態聯合建築師事務所 Ecoland Corporation Architecture Firm Taipei, Taiwan Paid Summer Internship, 2017 Architectural Assistant, 3D Rhino Modeler Ecoland Corporation is a leading company for green building designs in Taipei, Taiwan. I was greatful to get a chance to work in their architecture firm this past summer 2017. The project I was working on in Ecoland was an undeveloped commercial building in the corner of the science park in Guangzhou Science city, Guangdong, China. Since it was located in a park and the company’s target was green designs, the design team descided to create two commercial buildings into irregular tree-like shape connected by a shopping mall at the bottom which is suppose to be a hill. I spent the majority of my time with the design team and I was involved in various stages of the project. I sketched and recreated first stage designs for the building to become more sustainable and calculated the floor area several times to meet the client’s need. However, my main task was to model the commercial building in Rhinoceros to make it closer to reality and convinient for construction but still keep the irregular tree- like design at the same time. The pictures on the right are the design that I modelled for the company and what the architect showed to the client.
