The Experience of Mahsa Shobbar
Applying as a Design Architect
In recent years, terrazzo tile has drawn more appeal than traditional ceramic tile by designers because of its vast array of colours. These colours are created by its fragmented aggregate such as chips of recycled glass, marble, granite, quartz, and bound by a cementitious mixture. With age and maturity, the new stains enrich the texture of the tile.
Why may I be pointing out the favourable qualities of this material in my application?
Similar to Terrazzo tile, I believe I offer a vast array of experience unique from a more traditional applicant. I am a big-picture thinker with an unconventional creative and leadership background. I believe that my experience so far can be translated and applied to my potential role. Additionally, I also look forward to growing, learning and always becoming better to develop my different textures.

LULULEMON SSC PROPOSAL
As a collaborative inter-disciplinary team at DIALOG, we put together a proposal in for the Lululemon’s new office on their False Creek Flats property. Our team was the only sole Canadian practice, that had made it to the top four proposals.
In addition to provided design brief, extensive research was completed to understand workplace strategy, the future of a connected workspace. We had understand the the operation and functionality of the different employee’s daily work, and yet still reflecting their brand’s mantras.
Diagrams were developed to communicate the function and form that shaped the final proposed concept. Major factors that influenced these diagrams included solar exposure, circulation, untraditional break-out spaces, places of refuge, community space, views and vantage points, and its responsive relationship to the neighbouring context. This was all done whilst working within the confinements of an area of 500,000 SF under the existing CD-1 zoning.

SFU STUDENT RESIDENCES
This project is the second phase of the new student residences, at Simon Fraser University. Its complex program includes the student amenities, housing offices, and temporary accomodation for visitors. It is located at one of the few entrances to the campus, and is anticipated to be the gateway to the rest of the residences. We were challenged with defining the public realm at the prominent corner, and highlighting the social anchors.
The client’s request was to create a playful facade that would also pay homage to the Ericksonian legacy on the campus. With all this in mind, we designed the envelope with the respective challenges, while also shadowing LEAD Gold.

CAPITAL POINT
We were approached by a client who had purchase two towers in the Metrotown area in Burnaby, with the intention to have it renovated, with an addition of a two level podium at grade. In order to do deliver the project, we had to meet the City’s new mandates and fulfill the Step Code 3 energy efficiency performance requirements.
For the exterior concept, I helped lead the design. We had three principles in mind: 1) 50/50 window-wall ratio to meet the city’s requirements; 2) envelop the structure so it feels like a contemporary shrink wrap; and 3) in some way to pay homage to the original gold glass.
For the first principle, we used the 50/50 window-wall ratio to be expressed vertically to make the buildings appear taller. For the second, we used curved glass at the corners to make the chamfered corners more contemporary. And lastly, the gold was used at the main building entries at grade for a grand expression of way-finding. In the interior, we focused on the common areas.

EXISTING BUILDING The current development is in need of connection, expansion and thermal performance. REMOVE CLADDING Retain existing structure to reinforce sustainable mandate. CONNECT LOWER FLOORPLATES Provide access to both towers from Kingsway, linking the towers and expanding groundlevel amenities. SUSTAINABLE BLANKET After expanding the ground level experience, a sustainable envelope is dropped over the enhanced skeleton.

NET ZERO - DRIFT
The design for this net zero competition is to be the first student recreation centre in the world to achieve full-petal Living Building Challenge certification. This is the most progressive sustainability target currently available. This pursuit directly sypports the California State University Monterey Bay’s aspirations to be certified through the Living Community Challenge, further transforming the campus into a socially just, culturally rich, and ecologically restorative community.
‘DRIFT’ is a living landform building which celebrates movement, activity, sport and education through the integration of built form with the evocative ecology of the California montane chaparral and woodlands. As such the project is deeply tied to place, encouraging inhabitants to better understand, relate-to and enjoy the natural environment of the campus and surrounding area.
The project provides students, faculty and staff with an engaging and beautiful environment promoting personal health, wellness, and social equity.

THE MISSING MIDDLE
Outside of work hours, a group of young designers at DIALOG put together a proposal for this competition. We had to design a framework that addressed affordability, community and sustainability.
In this hypothetical proposal, we chose the site, defined the density, and designed the space. The location of Surrey, BC was selected as the City’s projection for population growth is for the neighbourhood of Surrey to double by 2040. We focused on medium density, and designed with plentiful outdoor communal space, we are able to promote the culture of community. Lastly, sustainability was addressed through using construction materials such as CLT, use of bioswales and water treatment in the landscape, solar PV and on-site energy storage.
Through 2D diagramming and 3D modeling we were able to represent: a) the location through a diagrammed map showing the neighbourhood selection; b) a section cut through the building showing the daily lives of the community; and c) an aerial shot showing the sustainability strategies used.

DESCEND
DESCEND is a film theater design, which was independantly worked on as an entry for the Iceland Cinema Pavilion Competition. Its geometry is a marriage between natural landscape and traditional cinema. The angles forming the interior are defined by the distances and dimensions required for optimal projector screen size and viewing.
As a result of its programing, natural lighting is not a benefit, but rather a hindrance. This unique quality and the desire to celebrate the contextual landscape, drove the decision to bury the building underground. Any fenestration added, is to inform the exterior as a form of wayfinding rather than informing prioristing the interior. As a result, it pays tribute to the natural caves situated across the road, along the tectonic fault line of the Eurasian and North American plates. The natural topography is so gradual, that the project’s massing is responsively and respectively subtle. The user is poetically pulled down stairs and ramp of the cut made in the Earth, inorder to access the box office window and entrance. This is a similar ritual that one would experience

COOL SCHOOLS
During my time at RRA in New York, we made a competition entry for modular school structures in Mongolia. We explored economical, flexible and easy-toassemble iterations. Basedon the typology of the traditional Mongolian yurt, each unit is a self-contained unitary system that readily propogates and adapts to program change as the school grows.

Modular Design in Khovd,Mongolia
By making the form hexagonal, the straight edges allowed for the modules to connect and keep unusable space to a minimum. The most opportune aspect of this design, is that these modules can be shaped however way, on different site conditions.

Office: Ronnette Riley Architect,
This project explores economical, flexible and easy to assemble modules that fulfill the basic needs of the school while maximizing efficiency and minimizing exposure to the local elements in Mongolia. Operating on the typology of the traditional yurt, each unit exploits existing site conditions by way of a self-contained unitary system that readily propagates and adapts to program change as the school grows.
The hexagonal shape of each unit keeps the amount of unusable space in the plan to a minimum. As the modules snap together, the doubled wall space between the units acts as a conduit for mechanical systems. The structural frame for each room is identical, therefore, the overflow summer pavilions can easily be transformed into conditioned spaces as the school expands. Construction can be phased, building essential services such as bathrooms first while maintaining a services such as bathrooms first while maintaining a sheltered connection to the existing school. Coloured panels in the truss system create unique quality of light within each space.

REFUGE PHASE 3
The School of Architecture at Dalhousie is unique in Canada for their design-build labs. Our group was most interested in the rural retreat, and using fundamental building techniques and details to construct with local building materials. These materials included hemlock for the beams and joists, spruce framing and interior finishes, white cedar shingle roof and cladding, and hemlock cladded gable ends.
The adjacent diagram demonstrates the third and final phase of that was completed by our group for the final finished product captured in the photo on the right. We were able to brainstorm and collaboratively design these details, and then work together to build them within the short timeline that was given.

ZAAP CHARGE
Zaap Charge is a electric vehicle charge start-up, that reached out to me for help in defining what their product looks like. Before delving into the design, I went over their branding, and noticed that they can simplify their graphics to more align with what their company’s ‘why’.
To address both the branding and EV chargers altogether. Through a series of concepts, colour stories and principles a couple of new brand options were finetuned, which lead to the start-up’s finalized design of the EV charge stations.
Original Branding
Difficult to pull consistent branding graphics across the board. ie. graphic, lighting etc
Does a good job on representating the idea of ‘recharge’ and ‘motion’. Needs to take a step back to reflect on graphics principles (determined in following page)
Helpful to know, but too much text is distracting for a clean logo and can find this elsewhere
Colour story difficult to follow and down the line, hard to change. A single colour can be changed much easier

PARADE OF LIGHTS
Every year, the architecture students design a float for Dalhousie University’s float in the Halifax annual Parade of Lights. In 2016, I made the inititative to lead a team of 13 to work towards a timeline and to actualize a design based on a simple napkin sketch shown on the right. Instead of having a massive float on a truck, we decided to go the route of designing installations that can be installed on bicycles to ride in the parade.
We came up with the design of snowflake inspired wings to fly through the streets of Halifax. As we pedaled through the Halifax streets in the evening, the lit up wings would flutter through the streets.
