Environmental Design Year 2 Sept 16 - Oct 9, 2020 (3 weeks of winter term) Professor: Jessica A. Suter To gain an understanding of the relationship and function of taste in humans and the environment, research had to be done. By learning Ani Liu‘s Selfies Ted Talk, What if you could take a smell selfie? Smell display box, the visualization of taste is a process based on physical and chemical principles, inspired by Science Friday, to extract taste molecules by heating. The principle of the Smell Display Box is to heat the liquid by using a Ferrell Lens to separate the smell and color molecules of the plant and transfer the smell and color to the external observation paper through the capillary phenomenon. The observer can see the color changing with the water flowing. Finally, we can get the paper with the smell and color collected. The acrylic box is covered with aluminum, which has more effect on obtaining solar energy and keeping the heat.

Suter Exploring the idea of connection and disconnection, the layers represent how the presence and location of natural and urban factors can denote and control the movement of humans, animals, and bicycles. These factors also create an avenue to connect movement patterns and develop a disconnection of activity by causing a hindrance.

Environmental Design Year 2 Oct 14 - Nov 16, 2020 (3 weeks of Winter Term) Professor: Jessica A. Suter The Frame Space is an intervention designed to attract attention to the historical traces in Joseph Royal Park. The Framed Space provides excellent views of Joseph Royal Park. It can simultaneously appreciate multiple historical markers. The frame is centered on a box and placed in four different directions. When you approach, you can see the scenery behind the screen. When standing far away, people can see the light and environment around the mirror’s reflection, which is a unique space feeling.

IMMERSION SMELL SPACE Environmental Design Year 2 Nov 20 - Dec 14, 2020 (3 weeks of Winter Term) Professor: Jessica A. Suter The immersion installation reflects the visual experience and smells visualization of space through the movement of steam. When steam and smell molecules move in space and encounter objects whose temperature is lower than their temperature, they will liquefy into the water and leave steam traces on the cellophane. When in the immersion installation, the entire space seems to feel surrounded by clouds. When seeing a faint and bright light through the steam, the whole space will have a different visual and spatial experience.
SUNKEN SUNNY STUDY CENTER Environmental Design Year 2 Jan 18 - Feb 24, 2022 (5 weeks of Winter Term) Professor: Mohamad Araji A common theme of light is explored in the project, with our chosen site on campus between Pembina Hall Residence and Mary Speechly Hall facing the Red River. The roofs and the furniture resemble the angled roofs of the old Pembina Hall Residence. Glass facades and skylights are incorporated into the design, providing extra lighting and views of the river. The project aims to reactivate the abandoned space due to weather conditions and an unappealing aesthetic with the design of an outdoor learning area. With the form of the structure and materials inspired by the design of Pembina Hall Residence, the threshold structure blends well with the environment.

M O N D R I A N P L AT E Environmental Design Year 2 Jan 18 - Feb 24, 2022 (5 weeks of Winter Term) Professor: Mohamad Araji Inspired by Mondrian’s work, the table is randomly divided into different geometric shapes of different sizes. Keep two lines in each direction and remove redundant lines Organize each line. Get a geometric surface with different shapes and sizes Use circles corresponding to the four directions to intercept the shape. The natural colors of the food are matched and studied to obtain a balanced and rich feast environment. The project extends from the plane of the table to the entire room, analyzes space as a whole, and expands the whole room from each color block. This is when different colors correspond to different directions when eating. The room analysis shows that each color corresponds to the direction.

CONTAINER MARKET Environmental Design Year 3 Nov 1 2021- Feb 21, 2022 (Strike Impact) Professor: Brian T. Rex The project brief begins at a site in Brookings, SD. There’s a picturesque main street and a stately courthouse square. They are a block apart but have no spatial connection or shared vista. The
site for this project is the 50 feet of main street facade north of the center of the block; alongside the axis but not in it. The project want to open this axial vista between the main and the courthouse in the city. Almost every downtown city service or public amenity is arranged along this latent axis. As shown on the site mapping above, there already is an undesigned accidental passage through the block at this location. Modeling of the site in wood and exploring the design inspiration for
the area with paper models and object models. Addition of exterior wood band stairs connecting the interior to the exterior, while the area serves as a grocery market with the courthouse visible from the stairs. The axonometric view clearly shows the connection of each part of the design, and the elevation view shows all the streetlights at one height, which is the virtual roof created in this project. The circulation diagram show how to move through the building and the eventual use of the container structure.

Environmental Design Year 4 Sept 26 - Oct 13, 2022 (3 weeks of Winter Term) Professor: Mercedes Garcia-Holguera The habitat is for the astronauts living on Mars to provide an environment like the one on Earth. The colony also contains exclusive sites for public space, work, research, agriculture, and energy provision. Thus the habitat focused only on the habitation experience is entirely underground. The biochemical strategy will use Penguin’s Vasoconstriction system and Counter-current Heat Transfer to keep the underground buildings warm to ensure that the shallow temperatures on Mars do not affect the habitat.

Environmental Design Year 4 Oct 24 - Dec 12, 2022 (6 weeks of Winter Term) Professor: Mercedes Garcia-Holguera Churchill, Manitoba, Canada, is located on the southern edge of the Canadian Arctic. Churchill is surrounded by wildlife and habitat in three distinct ecological zones: the Arctic Ocean, the Arctic Tundra, and the Boreal Forest. It is home to the most accessible population of polar bears, both for adventure travel and scientific research. The town of Churchill lies below the Aurora Borealis oval, leading to over 300 nights of Northern Lights activity. As the best site of the outpost of the northern environmental study, the project is intended to design a franchise of Churchill North Study Center in the town of Churchill. The program is for the public to private, including exhibits, work, sitting area, kitchen, living room, and bedroom.

The project aims to introduce biomimetic strategies and responses to climate change. The Churchill North Study Center creates a space where tourists and local community members communicate and learn their stories. The project also hopes to provide more public gathering space in town and welcome people from different places to learn about indigenous culture and the scientific research achievements exhibition center, as it is part of Churchill and Canadian history and experience.
By adapting biomimetic strategies, the strategy will reduce energy use by collecting water from the natural environment to provide some water for people living in the building. The biological strategy chosen for this project is the pine cone, which on the ground will
drop its slender scales and open up like an unfurled fist if the weather is dry. If there is rain and moisture in the air, the scales will clamp down like a castle drawbridge, overlapping each other and sealing the cone into a tight ball.

In Métis culture, climate change, the first thing to think about is the water. The water has changed because of climate change. The water levels in the lake change, affecting the fish, the ducks, and the animals; everything that needs water will be affected. Those are huge concerns that should be for everybody. The blueprint for a healthy body of water begins to unfold, and the narrative takes place in 2200.
The Churchill River is a lifeline. The three major ecosystems that surround the Churchill River, those that swim in the water, those that fly in the sky, and those that run on land, make sounds that come from more than the human world. As communities work to address the challenges facing rivers, it is important to consider the perspectives of all the organisms that depend on them for survival. Only by working together can we ensure a sustainable future for rivers and their inhabitants. Changes to the Churchill River ecosystem have had a significant impact on the fish, birds, and deer that call it home. Public awareness campaigns and education programs should be developed to promote sustainable practices.
