LIBRARY - Winner of 11th Annual ACSA/ AISC Steel Design Student Competition
Fall 2010, Third Year Undergraduate
Like an apparition, the screen rises above the solidity of the earth, delicately touching the ground and fading into the distance in a shroud of fog. Lost in its own gracefulness, the fragile members faintly shadow the slender branches enfolding the site in their brittle embrace. A dream, a mirage scintillatingly surrounded by shadow. A elegiac revelation to those lucid enough to see it.

CARDBOARD CHAIR
Fall 2008, FIrst Year Undergraduate As the straight line becomes a curve, it curls and traces itself, layers of graphite merging to form space defined by the line. Always the line. The profile hints at a familiarity that dissolves when seen from any other angle. Broken by the ground, the curve reflects in the surface and is continued by the mind which seeks to recreate the purity of that which it rationally denies. As the profile turns and reveals its nature, the sharpness of the grid is superimposed over the curve as it mirrors itself to infinity.

REST STOP
Winter 2011, Third Year Undergraduate Light and shadow are the original material of architecture. But light is perceived, its physical qualities in imagined reality that can be manipulated and exaggerated. This perception is what drives our conscious thought allowing for disintegration that results from a virtual essence. The sun can bring form through shadow, but only architecture can inscribe this virtuality on the earth and connect our bodies to its own rhythm and purpose. As the earth builds up to create form and structure according to the sun, so does light degrade the form to reveal itself. Two layers merge, the presence and the absence, the light and the shadow.

The three sets of specular and diffuse glass are installed. Exterior pipes carrying the thermal water exchange system are attached to the piping in the ground and the pumps imbedded in the rammed earth walls.
The interstitial support framing pipes are attached.
Inner pipes with integrated ventilation system attached.
Pre-fabricated forms are erected and filled with rammed earth and a mixture of carbon- absorbing cement (reactive magnesium oxide).
Structural steel tubing support system for the earth and piping for the heat exchange system is erected.
In-floor piping for the radiant heat system are placed and filled with rammed earth.
Metal deck placed and attached to steel beams.
Steel beams are attached to the concrete footings.
Pre-cast concrete strip footings are then place in the excavated hole. A shallow hole is excavated the size of the building.

KIOSK
Winter 2009, First Year Undergraduate Point, line, surface. The grid beckons with resolved simplicity, calling for structure and order in its midst. And even as it yearns for its integral character, it is lured by the unknown, the spontaneous. Music, art, they have structure and shape but still leave much to the imagination. The grid turns, torn between what it is and what it wants to be. And as it breaks, it leaves a part of itself behind, a trace of its’ being. The roots are grounded in the past, while the rest of it moves like a flower beckoned by the sun. It moves towards art, music, and something else‌ faith.

INTERTWINE - Honorable mention in
the 12th Annual ACSA/AISC Steel Design Student Competition, Honorable mention in the 3E Foundation Award Fall 2011, First Year Graduate In partnership with Marilina Cianci
Straddling the horizon, it emerges from the abyss in a ribbon of light, ethereally suggesting a porosity that transcends the barrier between water and sky, penetrating both with a delicacy suggestive of nature. Yet the delicate nature of the object is a mirage, hiding the true machine at its heart which beats in time with the demands of the people it sustains.

COLUMBARIUM
Winter 2012, First Year Graduate Death becomes part of the city in a columbarium designed for a decaying theatre in NDG, Montreal. As the life of the theatre slowly fades, new program is introduced slowing the passage of time and emphasizing the fragility of life. Both a monument to life, the grand gesture calls attention to itself, demanding acceptance of the most basic human inevitability

BETWEEN BODY AND BUILDING Winter 2013, Second Year Graduate Thesis
Can a “principle of dressing� be defined for architecture? Current assumptions regarding the role of textiles in architecture that limit their use to decorative elements in a built environment need to be challenged. We need to break the boundaries that separate the two in order to be able to create projects that attain their spatial programs, form and expression from clothing and textiles, in order to be able to create not only a much more symbiotic relationship between the body of viewer and their encompassing architecture, but create an architecture that is a responsive extension of the body and not merely a passive shell.
