LEVIATHAN
‘[Liquid Architecture] is a symphony in space, but a symphony that never repeats and continuous to develop.’
project_id.title()
‘cyberspace represents the acceptance of the body in the realm of the mind, it attempts to escape the mortal plane by allowing everything to be converted into a common currency of exchange.’
07
Leviathan is a symphony of dissent and uncertainty. Leviathan is a broadcast media hub, a node in a rhizomatic web of information that saturates the under-city with visual media, internet coverage, cellphone service, AM and FM radio coverage and television coverage.
08
Exterior Panorama
Interior Panorama 1 Leviathan is inhabited. Built off of the servicing catwalks hung behind the skin of screens and arrays, are squats. And these are inhabited by the “other�: artists, anarchists, rebels. Those who want to escape the favelas, those who have nowhere else to live. Hackers, cyber-criminals, people in hiding.

11
Interior Panorama These squatters live in a world dissociated from any ground plane, without an origin. A space understood in the experience of its rhizomatic structure. An experience of interiority that is no more comforting than the dizzying world of information consumption and imposed ideology outside.
12
The data-moshed clip was created in Avidemux, by combining clips from Tarkovsky’s Stalker, Antonioni’s Zabriskie Point and Hitchcock’s Vertigo. The clips were manipulated in order to distort the pixels at the transitions between scenes. Stills from Datamoshed Visual Sequence
13
14 Much of the model was lasercut and then assembled. A large, plexi-glass screen was constructed as a surface onto which a data-moshed visual sequence could be projected.

MEDIA:
project_id.title()
This project investigates how architecture is understood in a spatio-temporal sense by drawing from spaces created in cinema. The project interprets scenes that evoke distinct spaces from Tarkovsky’s Stalker, Hitchcock’s Vertigo and Antonioni’s Zabriskie Point, and strings them together into an experiential sequence.

ARTISAN’S RESIDENCE RESIDENCE ARTISAN’S
MEDIA:
project_id.title()
This project is a proposal for an Artisan’s residence on the banks of the Grand River, in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada. A significant element of the history of Cambridge is the Grand River that runs through its downtown, and the industry that developed on the river’s banks. This history is still present today in the stone and brick mills that line the riverbanks, evoking a culture of craft and industrious-ness waiting to be reinvigorated in the city.
23
The translucent channel glass is paired with wood, and specific, framed views to inform the interior of the residence.
24
Interior Collage
Physical Model View 2
Frosted channel glass is used for the exterior for the second storey, and for the walls of the first storey not directly facing the street.
25
The Residence overhangs a public walkway, and opens directly onto views of the Grand River and the greenery along its banks.
26
Physical Model View 1
North Section
Wood is used for interior partitions and surfaces, particularly the intimate core of the second-storey that contains the bedroom and the washroom.
27
Stone, hewn and laid in a similar fashion to the historic building which is adjacent to the residence, is used on the ground level to separate the public zone from the private.

BLUE CABIN CABIN RESIDENCE RESIDENCE BLUE
MEDIA:
project_id.title()
This is a set of conceptual photocollages created for a proposed artist’s residency program spearheaded by the Grunt Gallery, in Vancouver, Canada. The blue cabin is an iconic symbol of Vancouver’s history of tidal-zone squatting and its art culture, and it is this rich tradition that the Grunt Gallery is tapping into in the conception of this residency program.
29
The Blue Cabin long inhabited legal and geographical grey-areas, and it housed artists who worked with material found on the tidal flats outside their door. The residence seems to have consistently responded to the context in one way or another.
30
Conceptual Collage
The Blue Cabing has always existed in interstitial places, on the tidal flats along Vancouver’s shores. It has always been a squat, and has housed artists important to Vancouver’s artistic culture.
31
32
The proposal is to refurbish the cabin, and to use it as a studio for resident artists who would live in complimentary buildings. These all would be mounted on a floating platform such that the residency could be moved to various moorings along the Metro Vancouver shoreline.

INFINITE CHOICE CHOICE INFINITE
(Archigram – Peter Cook, pg. 68)
project_id.title()
“The determination of your environment need no longer be left in the hands of the designer of the building: it can be turned over to you yourself. You turn the switches and choose the conditions to sustain you at that point in time. The ‘building’ is reduced to the role of the carcass – or less.”

Infinite Choice is entirely fabricated from steel. The main platform is elevated from the ground on a space frame, and it is navigated by manipulating a number of panels that either rotate or slide. These plateforms can be aggregated ad infinitum in three dimensions.
