a Drift in Eastern Gray
CONCEPT DESCRIPTION The proposed project is a portrait gallery that explores how ones perception of identity can be revealed through the inhabitance of space and time. How do these interactions between space and time bring forth the true essence of identity? Identity is defined as the fact of being who or what a thing is. The only fact however is that identity is variable. It depends on factors such as time (the time frame in which something exists, the speed at which something moves, exposure time), perception (ones senses, past experiences, belief systems), external factors (surrounding context), etc. As mentioned previously, in this instance the factors being focused on are time and space, or in other words the journey through the architecture and the surrounding context. Our goal with the portrait gallery is to remove the user from ‘the real world’ as they pass through the different layers of the architecture and slowly strip back all surrounding context in the space to a realm of nothingness. Ultimately the user ends in a gallery space fully stripped of all external context, leaving just the user and the artwork. This is a gallery space where you can’t see where the floor meets the wall meets the ceiling, rather just an empty white space leaving no spatial reference. An important factor conceptually was to achieve this in a quiet and introverted way. The journey of the user and the revealing of identity depends heavily on internal factors of the user so it is important to create a space that allows for this contemplation and journey rather being expressive. We wanted a space that acts as a blank canvas allowing the user to paint their own masterpiece. Much like a portrait, the building hides as much as it reveals, drawing the user to discover the meaning. This is achieved through the use of light. Both the placement of LED lights throughout the building and also how the light interacts with the different surfaces on the interior and exterior.

SYNTHESIZING ECOLOGIES This course is the fourth studio in the Master of Architecture Program sequence and is the capstone studio experience prior to students entering into the Senior Studio rotation. Architecture is a synthetic act, constructing both its ideation and its material manifestation through the assimilation and translation of broad-based and varied knowledge bases. Because of this, it deploys a wide range of exploration and communication strategies during the design and documentation processes. This studio is characterized by this very circumstance: the exploration and strategic interface of diverse contexts and the creation of innovative form with ecological, social, technological and cultural agency through the orchestration of the full spectrum of design considerations: urban ecologies, environmental, cultural and social contexts, programme interpretation, the integration of building and accessibility systems, and the examination of building regulations and codes. This fulsome consideration of the factors that must align in the creation of architecture reminds us of the challenge set forth by the Vitruvian Triad, that is, that architecture is necessarily the interface between Firmitas, Utilitas, and Venustas. This argument suggests that architectural beauty is an emergent one, one that is innovatively created through the consideration of a client’s (and city’s) program and needs, and of the external forces that impact the quality of architecture as shelter: gravity, climate, materiality. From the creative consideration of these two factors, an architectural beauty emerges that is unique to that site and the client’s circumstances as an orchestrated whole.

Reclaiming a moment of pause
The Olympic plaza presents itself as a space of cultural significance. From its original function as a waiting platform for the medal ceremonies during the winter Olympic games, today there are several art installations that provide an opportunity for the daily users and passerby’s to have a moment of pause (person at rest). These moments of pause or human conditions are relevant to us as it relates back to the original definition of a portrait: which is to capture the person’s uniqueness at a frozen moment in time. In this sense, the portrait gallery is an extension of the plaza, by curating an architecture that externally frames these moments, whilst the interior architecture adds value to the process of transition and pausing. Therefore, we are encouraging individuals to slow down and recharge before returning to their daily lives This project aims to utilize architecture as a catalyst for a higher degree of consciousness through moments of pause, allowing visitors to connect to portraiture on a more intimate level.

Portrait of calgary
Our site is situated at a prominent location, in the heart of the downtown, Calgary. Due to Winter Olympic in 1988, the ‘Olympic plaza’ was built to portray Calgary to the world, which is adjacent to the site. Being from a different country, we perceived our own image of Calgary in mind through time. We mixed and matched the puzzles to create our own portray of Calgary.This particular site is like a hidden puzzle that we have to resolve to portray Calgary. As new commers in the city we were curious to explore Calgary and asked what if Calgary was a person, what would it’s portrait be?We realised that Calgary holds this beautiful bow river which originates from mountains going across the city dividing it through It is one of the seeds for Calgary’s birth. As years passed by the city grew around this river which we explored further. Stepping into the city, you look through it’s built and inbuilt, tangible and intangible environment to paint its portrait. For us the image is rendered best through the centre of downtown where there’s an opportunity to capture such moments of great architecture, a journey of people through transit, the hustle through City Hall, the joyful noise of the plaza and the boldness of performing arts, framing Calgary from the kernel.

Outside Space (Street)
The concept of this project is to explore strategies that redefine the idea of portraiture through architecture, which consists of luminal spaces called the ‘in-and-out spaces’ that are designed to provide both visitors and passersby opportunities to interact with each other in various ways while making their journey within the built-entity. Unlike conventional portrait galleries, where interior spaces are completely enclosed and kept only for the paying guests, the project welcomes additional non-paying visitors who are still able to experience and interact with the building within the luminal spaces (created as a result of placing an architectural shell around the gallery). Such a move was made to provide additional ways for people to engage with architecture while moving through the urban environment

Journey for (paying) visitors
Visitors and non-visitors viewing each other during their journey
Journey for (non-paying) general public
There are two journeys within the building, one for the paying visitors and another for non-paying guests. The idea is that both parties have their own ways to navigate through the building, while seeing and recognizing one another’s presence.

The required programs are initially organized based on the increasing level of privacy (from bottom to top). They are then redistributed with an open atrium at the center, which is meant to serve as a neutral circulation that promotes clarity in transitioning from program to program. The shell is then designed and placed to create luminal spaces with specific purposes and functions.

GAZE
CONCEPT STATEMENT We would like to assert that great architecture ultimately embodies the qualities of a great piece of art. Like a great portrait we want to capture the viewer’s gaze through the human form it depicts and lead users to new paths of thought. Therefore, our Portrait Gallery will capture your gaze and direct your path.
