The project took on the 2011-2012 A Habitat for Humanity Student Design Competition - The Sustainable Home. Using the criteria and conditions of the competition students were to develop their own ideals of ‘dwelling’ and the relationships present (social, environmental, technological, and tectonic). Groups were assigned to explore and choose a site and propose a home that would respond to the urban and environmental qualities presented in the site.

SITE INVESTIGATION

PUBLIC PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION/NOISE TRANSPORTATION/NOISE LEVELS LEVELS

The site investigation began in the neighborhood of Ebby-Wentworth located in the Stafford, Pembina, Grant triangle. It is a family oriented residential community in close proximity with schools and playgrounds. The site is situated in an ideal location for access throughout the city. A person can easily reach anywhere in the city with public transportation, and is in walking distance of the necessities of life.

MODULAR DESIGN The space in the dwelling has been considered to maximize living space and use unused potentials of a space.

At Grade Entrance

817 Hector Avenue is situated in the middle of Ebby-Wentworth avoiding the loud traffic from the main roads, but still within a 3-5 minute walk to bus terminals and amenities. The street is lined with a long canopy of evergreen trees that provides shading as well as adding aesthetic to the older neighbourhood. The majority of the residential houses are one story with a steep slope roof character allowing for all the houses to potentially implement passive solar collection techniques.

Inside Accessibility Push Button At Entrance

The bedrooms have been designed to be modular and completely functional. A customizable closet is built in on one side of the room. The desk also acts as functional furniture to utilize space. There are numerous storage units that can be pulled out of spaces. Construction is a lot more efficient with multipurpose furniture allowing for fewer waste and less disturbances on the lot.

The 3800 sq-foot lot was chosen because it has a pre-existing structure on the lot including three small trees and a fire damaged house. On analysis of the site it was decided that leaving as much of the pre-existing structures would be beneficial in not only waste management but as well as a sustainable design strategy.

The dwellings intent is to create a compact, livable maximization of space, flexibility of modular and environmentally friendly systems, and propose an inventive urban green space design. 817 Hector Avenue was specifically chosen because in the summer of 2011 it suffered severe arisen, and the burn damage has left the lot abandoned and in need of repair. The lot is centered on the street and a new home would establish a sense of community and embodies comfort relations as an inviting space.

SEMI-PUBLIC PUBLIC

A connection with outdoors was established and it began to partition the dwelling to create a new available green space. The location of the house maximized the available public green space proving a new landscape transitional zone of a household.

UTILIZATION OF SPACE

SEMI-PRIVATE PRIVATE SEMI-PUBLIC PUBLIC

PRIVATE SEMI-PRIVATE PUBLIC

The houses public and private programming was altered from the normal setting of a dwelling. In a typical residence the dwellings are created to push the more private areas of the house to the back while a transition to the public spaces are at each end of the house. This proved to be ineffective for a community atmosphere so it was decided to rotate the normal programming to provide a better model for the design. The new strategy has programs stacked horizontally allowing for a better flow in the community and providing a better transition zone between the public and private spaces.

KITCHEN The kitchen was designed to be accessible to someone in a wheelchair, all the counters are lowered to 30” and details such as side located faucets have been implemented in the design. The flexibility of the modular design allows for a functional kitchen to relate to the rest of the house. It becomes a rational livable space. The attachment of the dining table in with the kitchen also redefines what the space is, here the kitchen becomes the transitional zone in the house, a place between the private and public, the connecting unit of the house.

LIGHT TESTS

DISCOVERY OF FORM Universal accessibility became a main focus for the project and the second floor was eliminated.

The facade was sheared to focus on the sun and natural lighting for the structure. The house was sliced to provide a larger front surface for the sun to penetration along a very linear house allowing for maximum sunlight gain.

There was more consideration of how much space is required in a house and an arbitrary form was created with minimal space.

PRIVATE SEMI-PRIVATE PUBLIC

ACCESSIBILITY Accessibility for a person in a wheelchair has been addressed. Rooms throughout the dwelling have been designed to be accessible with ease. The necessary amenities and all access points have been designed with this in mind.

BEDROOM

-form and spatiality-

The modular sunroom was added, and the back deck was relocated to the south side of the house to create a connection between the linear deck.

SUNLIGHT The design was to incorporate maximum amounts of sunlight. The roof has been angled and overhangs to block the hot summer sun, and yet allow for winter sun penetration. The windows as well were considered with natural light gain. The interior walls are at different heights to allow sun to radiate into space above without artificial light sources.

The final form was produced with all the previous aspects shaping the dwelling to the environment, considering the spatial dimensions of the given area and the potentials of maximizing one`s space in compact living.

SUSTAINABILITY

PRE-EXISTING FOUNDATION

Focus on finding locally reusable materials and reducing waste products from construction to operation. The proposal incorporates the use of brown site and focuses on the reduction of embodied energy.

STAGE 1 DEMOLITION

With the pre-existing structure suffering from fire damage it was felt that rebuilding the house would be easier as well as cost effective, however there was interest in using the pre-existing foundation to work off of and create the new foundation from. Pre-existing trees on the lot would be left untouched something that an excavation would not be able to do.

STAGE 2 WASTE

CEMENTITIOUS ROOF TILES

Environmental Design Year 2

With the waste and debris from the demolition, instead of sending it to the dump will be reused as back fill material.

Cementitious roof tiles use waste or recycled cellulose fiber and by products of the fertilizer industry. The roof tiles are fire and weather resistant and also when comparable to normal concrete, half the weight. It can be moulded into any shape or size and air cells are mixed in with the concrete. Lightweight insulating fly ash cellular concrete will be used for energy saving potentials. The lower density material, which has much higher thermal/sound insulation value is poured on site in the thermal insulation over the roof tops. It will be finished to the low slope to allow for rain drainage. In the cold climate of Winnipeg it can also be used as sound insulating barriers.

STAGE 3 BACK FILL

Refilling the foundation with the wastes from the demolition. Waste will be crushed up and grounded in order to not have large spacing in the ground when back filled.

STAGE 4 TOP SOIL AND COMPACTION

With the debris backfill complete a new layer of top soil will be inserted and a soil compactor will be used to flatten and stabilize the site for the insertion of foundation piles for the new structure.

STAGE 5 PILE FOUNDATIONS

Insertion of pile foundations for the structural support for the new planned home over the pre-existing foundation.

STAGE 6 FINISH

BLOWN IN CELLULOSE INSULATION -Made with recycled newspaper(aprox. 75-80%) and treated with fire retardants and insect protection. Wet blown insulation offers better insulating properties then fiberglass insulation and performs 20-30% better. Although sprayed applied cellulose takes time to dry completely, it has the relative same R-value as fiberglass insulation by reducing the amount of energy needed for heating.

While using materials that would otherwise be sent to the landfill reclaiming timber helps lower wastes.

NATIVE PLANT SPECIES

This project entails the maximization of the public space by creating a thoroughfare through the dwelling. We have transformed the unfunctional green space into a communal experience. The configuration of our dwelling provides each family with a new arrangement of private and public space. The backyards would soon begin to become communal space and the yards would begin to overlap as an urban green sprawl. The development creates a sense of community between the families living in the area. A sociably interactive environmentally friendly community. The proposed back yard garden would provide the opportunity for a self sufficient food growth and a communal experience. It could produce an additional income for the family. The lot would be the central hub for this green urban expansion. The cherry trees would bring an element of the past as well as creating a distinct characteristic to the landscape. The plants and vegetation would be the native species of Manitoba. With this new developed landscape it begins to change the perception of what a public landscape dwelling could incorporate.

OBJECTIFICATION: In order to find a path to create an intervention into the site students were encourage to find an object to help inform their programming. Exploration of the heart was used as a way to develop a dwelling that could be informative and reactionary. The physical and formal attributes of the muscle were used as a starting point to understand a way to incorporate architecture into the site. Through the use of drawing and 3-D massing the objectification of the heart created a scape that then could be manipulated into the site. The heart was input into the solid mass of stacks as a way to create a void that would provide new spatial possibilities for a dwelling. This displacement of the cardboard material was in turned used as the real environment for the project. [

FINAL MODEL 1:25

A VENTRICLE 1: As the entrance of the home, VENTRICLE 1 receives the dweller from the veins above and directs them through the rest of the structure. A change in level from the main space to the kitchen area creates the sense of division in the area as there are no interior walls. A band of glazing is present on the patio side of the volume, with a view to the second volume [private quarters]. Ceiling heights are higher in the dining area to create an open environment. One interior wall separates the bathroom from the living room and ceiling heights are lowered to infer a more private setting. Stairs lead up to the bedroom where the only window to the surface exists. Concrete walls replace the steel cladding in the bedroom to provide different materiality in programming. A smaller band of glazing lines the wall create a visual connection with VENTRICLE 1.

c ATRIUM: The study room is secluded from the rest of the home, a large window is place so one can view the landscape surrounding the cable suspended structure. A hatch is located inside the room where a ladder can be reached to bring one down to the bottom of the cavern to explore the site.

d VEINS: Entrance to the site comes from the top where one strolls down across a series of catwalks that leads to the elevator shaft located at the south side of the landscape. The walkways are situated to encircle the hill providing the client to have an extensive view of the site. Ladders at two ends of the paths allows for the user to quickly change levels without the need of stairs .

As the perceiver of the sky much of its characteristics are formations of our own imagination. While the skies image may be susceptible to our own views, there is a somewhat less tangible aspect of the sky that needs to be explore. In most conversations the use of the word ‘sky’ describes the image of the sky, however the sky is an encompassing spatial entity whose concept is harder to grasp. The sky is not just a visual plane but also has spatial and physical [in certain cases] qualities. In the apparatus construction the questioning of the skies reality and the effects of our perception are explored. VISUALIZATION: The projector like human perception shines its own view onto to the skies canvas. Changing the positioning of ones self will change how the sky is formed/presented. This adjustment in orientation and environment is also investigated by the mirror panels; as one moves around the apparatus the sky will take its own form becoming skewed or even some cases out of the

Environmental Design Year 4

frame of the viewer. INSTALLATION: Footage taken of the sky is projected onto the cloud screen forming the realm of the sky in the installation. The projected film of the screen is in turn gathered by the mirrors creating a dual relationship between the ‘sky’ and ‘earth’. As the image is translated from the primary source [the projector] to the individuals viewing from the installation the final image is distorted/ diffracted from its original form questioning the idea of the visual definition of the term sky. ▲ Images of the cloud apparatus with footage of the sky projected onto it ► Images of the mirror construction gathering visuals of ‘the cloud’

the Forks had a larger expanse compared to other districts in the SHED in which an architectural piece for viewing the sky could be easily be intervened into the site. It was also due to the fact that The Forks had present infrastructure related to these concepts of the sky, such as the Odena Circle and the Forks Market observatory platform providing an interesting link with the proposed design.

SKY PAVILLION Continuing from previous exploration on the threshold conditions of the sky, a built proposal of an architecture with a multi-faceted relationship with the sky was provided. In architecture the connection with its site is more often than not influenced mostly by the environment on the ground plane [surrounding built environments, landscape and historical connotations]. While the sky in certain senses is considered in its connection to site, such as weather and sun paths, the skies relationship to an architecture is often disassociated with the considerations

of the actual built environment. By recognizing the sky as an integral part of the environment perhaps one can reinvigorate the relationship with the sky that has been lost. PROGRAMMING The programming for the proposed building is a weather station research centre. Here the architecture is split into three main sections: 1 first is the light well installation inserted into the landscape which will be the main entrance

into the building. By creating a threshold condition in which inhabitants are forced into the dark underground it will provide a situation in which people will be more cognizant of the sky above them, the mindset in which they will acquired as they enter the building. 2 the general floor of the building will be programmed for an educational weather gallery to create a space for learning and understanding the world around them. The main aspect of the gallery will be a large sky light bringing the natural light into the ground level. 3 the second story of the building will be used for the research center and conference hall. The building with wrap itself around a central atrium that will provide lighting and a view of the

IMAGERY One of the main aspects of this project is the question of how to bring the sky into the spaces of inhabitation. While light is often associated with the sky and can often bring the sense of lightness and openness, light is not enough to create a strong association with the sky. The Image of the sky is just as important, inspiration was drawn from mirrors and lenses of telescopes and binoculars as possible strategies to transfer an image to the viewer. By understanding how light travels and carries an image through space it was possible to create spaces in which the sky [as an image] could enter our living spaces.

LIGHT WELLS Two secondary light wells were placed to frame the entrance into the gallery. The reflective panels inside the light well are formulated to create an atmospheric imagery of the sky reflected from the panels; in a sense transferring the sky down to the viewer allowing the sky to live inside the space. The mirrored panels helps lose the notions of perceptive which elongates the space of the light wells invoking the

ideology of the skyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expansive atmosphere.

URBAN BORDER . 城市边缘

International Student Video/Poster Competition . 国际学生影片/海报竞赛

• Border- the part or edge of a surface or area that forms its outer boundary. • Boundary- something that indicates bounds or limits; a limiting or bounding line.

Boundary, it is explicit in its definition identifying as the very limit in which one may exist inside that particular environment. This very notion runs its course through the entirety of livelihoods from personal spaces, physical volumes to larger more abstract domestic and urban thresholds. Yet there are those rare moments in which these particular spatial conditions overlap creating hybrid situations that not only question the very definition of boundary but also its existence. The idea of boundary is one of perception, by visualizing the environment through ones senses conclusions are implemented on the preconceived notions imbedded into our psyche to make sense of the world around. It is thus that one may begin to bend these borders, if we allot the power for these ‘perceived’ boundaries why can’t we take it away? Can we begin to play with the very fabric that seemingly binds our world, undoing the threads to open pockets into new realms of possibilities?

EXTENSION .

范围 .

The Mirror - a planer object that encompasses a 3-Dimensional environment onto a surface, providing the ability to change the visual layout of a space without invading the physical realm. It is the intention of the artist to create situations that questions reality with the obscure, the duality of the truth and perceived.

The Tree - a structure that is physically imposing yet straddles on the edge of numerous thresholds, those of physical volume, visual space, and abstract existence. A flexible entity it adapts to the ever changing cues of it environment, mutating constantly with the border conditions that are present.

We look at our world as if it is defined by only one true perception, yet we acknowledge the ability to change the very characteristics that heed to their existence. This obscurity lends itself to provide us with the possibility to change the very construct of our world, what if what we see is only a fraction of what there is? Can we extend these boundaries of our own perspective? 我们期待在我们的世界里，如果它们被定义，但我们承认只有一个真正的感知能力改变，听取他们的存在很有特色。这个默默无闻的，本身给我们提供的可能性，以改变我们这个世界的构造，如果我们看到的只是一小部分有什么？我们可以延长这些边界我们自己的观点 ?
