THE WALL OF MEMORY: AN ABORIGINAL RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL TRUTH & RECONCILIATION ARCHIVE Graduate Comprehensive Studio term long project University of British Columbia, Vancouver, 2014. Displayed at the “Conceptualizing the Technical� AIBC exhibition. All work done with Lorrie Roche. How do you move on from loss? How do you come to a true and complete understanding in order to reconcile the past with the future; to place yourself within the present? How does one respect the atmosphere of pain while presenting a way to move forward with truth? By building a wall. The wall is an architectural construct; it provides shelter from harm, creates a feeling of physical and emotional security, contains and divides space, and it can be something to lean on. The wall, as a symbol, can both obstruct and open up views as well as spatial organization. For these reasons, the wall became the most important aspect of The Archive for the Truth and Reconciliation Centre for the Aboriginal Residential School system project. The archive is everywhere; it is every wall. Through transference, the archive has come to provide shelter and security, it divides space, radiates warmth and is the primary load bearing structural component. The result is simple, yet powerful; the roughened concrete walls are a field condition which become the symbol for the archive itself.

PARKADES OF THE FUTURE
Research project & report (based on grant from UBC Parking) TIPS lab, UBC Living Lab initiative, submitted for UBC parking review January 2015 This research project, done in collaboration with Geoff Cox, aimed at intensifying the performance of UBC’s parkade infrastructure through the addition of programmatic interventions. Three parkades on campus were selected to be further developed, with interventions intensifying parking and inserting new program to fit into the areas social, economic, and environmental setting. Special attention to energy production, conservation and storage were at the core of the project, with new insertions seeking to interact symbiotically to provide more activity and interaction than the parkades currently offer. The final deliverable was a written report submitted to UBC parking, which involved various case studies of adaptive re-use of parkades, on-site assessment of possible scenarios for UBC’s parkades, presentations to various stakeholders, and the design and representation of generic and site specific interventions.

LANDFARMING
BIOREMEDIATION
PHYTOREMEDIATION
Introduction of nutrient rich soil to the affected soil area.
Removal of layers of toxic soil into “bio pits” via cranes which move on rails around the site, creating a large open pit .
Soil removed and placed on a built structure, acting as a “constructed ground”.
Phytoremediation plant types
Specific to toxic PAH (Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon) removal
CONSTRUCTED GROUND: A 30+ YEAR REMEDIATION PARK Graduate Vertical Studio 2 final project University of British Columbia, Vancouver, 2013 This project focuses on the Georgia Viaduct in Vancouver as the site for an urban park which seeks to remediate soil from an intense industrial past using rail cranes attached to the Viaduct. The end goal of the park seeks to pile up partially remediated soil, which is then further phytoremediated by plants, into hill configurations. Program can then be inserted in interior space below the soil, which can interact directly with the adjacent Sea Wall. A regulation size soccer field pushes out over the water to allow the new berms created to become seating for various events, fitting in with its local entertainment context, and increasing pedestrian access.

RECONSTRUCTING THE SCHINDLER HOUSE Graduate introductory Revit course final project University of British Columbia, Vancouver, 2014
Rudolph Schindler designed his house and studio in California in 1921. Today it is considered one of the earliest modern homes. This introduction to Revit course examined the fundamental conceptual underpinnings of the program, and explored various 3D modeling and representational techniques in order to produce a set of design drawings consisting of plans, sections, elevations, details and project renderings.

A NEW PROCESSION TO BEAVER LAKE Graduate Vertical Studio 3 final project University of British Columbia, Vancouver, 2014. Displayed at SALA Projects summer 2015. This project sought to insert an Outdoor School along Beaver Creek, which flows out of Beaver Lake in Stanley park, in order to give a new procession from the forest to the lake. An iterative process of physical model building allowed each component of the project to be assessed for its architectural effect. The program was broken up in order to allow students and the public to interact with the creek in various ways; to hover above it, get down into the water, and cross over it. Each component was carefully placed along the creek to act as a sound enhancer for rushing sounds of water, resulting in each pavilions shape, size and material.
