BING THOM ARCHITECTS BROADWAY/COMMERCIAL PROJECT 2017 | Role: Student Intern | Rendering, Orthographic Drawings | Software used: Rhino 5.0, V-ray, Adobe CS
In 2017 from January to August, I spent 8 months working for Bing Thom Architects in Vancouver, BC. During that time, I was able to work on a variety of different projects, working on all kinds of drawings, renders and models for each. One particular project was the affordable housing project on the intersection of East Broadway and Commercial Drive in East Vancouver, right next to the Broadway - Commercial skytrain station. For this project, I had the opportunity to provide sections, elevations, a site plan, urban design diagrams and renders for the Open House to present the project to the neighborhood and to the client, Westbank.

BING THOM ARCHITECTS HAW PAR MANSION RENOVATION 2017 | Role: Student Intern | Presentation Orthographic Drawings | Software used: AutoCAD, Rhino 5.0, Adobe CS
Another project I was able to work on during my time with Bing Thom Architects was the renovation of the Haw Par Mansion in Hong Kong. The owner of the Mansion approached the firm with the desire to turn the now unused house into a large scale music school run by the Hong Kong Symphony Orchestra. My role for this particular project was to create presentation drawings for the firm’s various publication purposes.

A MONUMENT FOR JANIS JOPLIN 3B Studio | Advisor: Thomas McIntosh | Individual
In the term of 3B, I had the pleasure of having an artist oversee my final studio project, in which we were to create a physical monument to an individual from a list of those chosen by our professor that he believed to have changed the world while they were alive on this planet. I chose to dedicate my monument to the first female rock legend Janis Joplin, in which I wished to showcase both her wild, uncontrollable stage self and her true, insecure, timid and lonely self. I chose to represent these two sides to her personality through 2 different kinds of ‘stages’ joined by an outdoor pavilion. Her outer performance self is in the shape of a dynamic performance center, and her inner self is represented through a sanctuary, where one ‘performs’ prayers to a higher power of their choosing to help them cope with their insecurities and fears.

Ever since I was heavily inspired by a thesis project on the historic Distillery District of downtown Toronto, I desired for this multi-purpose residential building to become a true extension of the renovations of the Distillery District, a sort of central location that extends what the original designers, architects and urban planners had in mind when revitalizing the area. Being located directly across the street from the site, I would like the new building to provide a central location that the local communities thirst to be realized for the diversity of the events that happen within the urban fabric. The renovations of the Distillery were intended to create a historic center within the city that would be the ultimate tourist destination, an opportunity to experience a different side of a major growing city, to bring various local artisans together in the large studio spaces provided, to create an urban platform for community and city-wide events to take place, and gallery spaces for both local and big name artists to have their works displayed within the city’s hub of artistic energy. These goals are what I wish for my building to reflect, alongside the idea of bringing art much more thoroughly into the daily lives of the local residents, office employees and consumers that would use the building.

RIDGES ON THE PIER 2B Studio | Advisor: Rick Andrighetti | Individual
The Don Valley riverside area in Toronto, ON, Canada has seen a lot of environmental damage over the past few decades. These environmental impacts on this crucial part of what built the foundations for the Toronto of today not only affects the health and wellbeing of the wildlife and the people living and working in the area, but also the enormous potential for riverside recreational activity to experience the historic city from the perspective of nature, one of its most crucial elements alongside industrial development, such as canoeing. This architectural intervention attained its research base from a former studio research project on canoeing in the Don Valley, and has grown to be a physical form of a solution for the need for proper water recreation activity facilitation in the Don, simultaneously providing a campus of sorts over the river that ties the intervention back to the city through its programming. This project is meant to visually demonstrate the importance of the connection that is currently lost of the city and its roots, which lie within the Don river’s flowing stream.

KAKOE CANOE 2B Studio | Advisor: Lola Sheppard | Partner: V. Bojic
This studio project was both a case study of the Don Valley in Toronto, ON, Canada as well as an insightful series of relatively small scale interventions that begin to tackle an approach to a solution to any current problems we analyze of the Don river throughout the study. We chose to focus on the recreational aspect of the Don river, analyzing the nature of canoeing in the river in particular. Through the study, we came upon the realization that canoeing in this river was only legally available once a year for the ‘Paddle the Don’ event in which water would be released from the dam way up north of the river in order to accommodate. It turns out that without this extra water, canoeing would be nearly impossible and highly dangerous due to various negative factors throughout the entire river, ranging from high levels of pollution and Ecoli to high-risk flood zones. As a possible approach of attacking this problem and bring back safe canoeing to the Don as a regular recreational activity, our intervention seeks to create consecutive canoeing ‘stations’ along the river as a business plan approach that will create a higher demand for canoeing in the river, which would hopefully encourage more governmental action to rid the Don of its problems that prevent safe canoeing.

THE MIRROR STATE 2015
Every summer term, the 2B class of the University of Waterloo School of Architecture has the amazing opportunity to put on an original play for the cultural iconography class. This year, our class chose to write, direct, choreograph, and create everything from scratch for a play about Antonin Artaud, the playwright from the Surrealist Movement and his descent into madness as he attempts to create the perfect play drawn from both Balinese and Tarahumaran cultural inspirations with his fellow artistic talents of the age. I auditioned for and played the part of Salvador Dali, a fellow Surrealist artist, and was also a play coordinator, in charge of the Publicity Team’s organization and management, as well as Fundraising, where I was solely responsible for finding sponsors around the local area in an attempt to earn us some extra funds for the enormous expenses required for a demanding artistic endeavour. In the end, I managed to earn about $3500 in product and monetary donations for our class.
