Aaron Wong
Re: Letter of reference
To whom it may concern,
Aaron worked in our Vancouver studio for a duration of approximately 3 months. During his term he joined our team on the Brentwood project; a complicated 1.5 million sf development with office, civic, retail, and residential tenures.
Aaron has a strong work ethic, excellent rigor, and is a quick learner; as demonstrated with his project delivery through a platform that was new to him (REVIT). He has very good verbal and graphic-communications skills; and is an excellent team player. He is proactive, and inquisitive; asking questions when clarity is required. This is a critical character trait that is important for growth, and it will serve him well as he continues to develop in his career.
I would highly recommend him for future placement at work terms.
Sincerely,
Senior Design, Project manager Perkins&Will

REACTIVATING FAIRWAY
URBAN MASTERPLANNING
FEBRUARY 2023
The Waterloo Region’s ION LRT system is a recently completed rapid transit system for the greater municipality. Regional authorities are looking to future planning and strategies to develop strong transit oriented design along this LRT corridor and its various stops. Fairway station is the terminus station along the track, currently servicing a large shopping mall and other plazes and strip malls. This neighbourhood development vision seeks to transform the neighbourhood and commercial area around the station into a vibrant multigenerational community.
These design principles guide the project’s development:
1. Develop Fairway into a transportation and community hub
2. Create substantial connectivity between surrounding communities and the central hub for both pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists.
3. Construct safe, direct, and convenient pedestrian access to all amenities.
4. Establish a multi-generational diverse community where residents are encouraged to linger and socialize.
5. Provide ample support for the Indigenous community in the surrounding area.

MUSEUM & EXHIBITION
June 2022
A museum that hosts architectural experimentations and moments as the work of an exhibition. The 2 halls explore Chaos and Calm as architectural drivers. The design questions architectural organizations, geometries, and ideas of order and disorder through a socio-political lens. What does a calm space afford us? What does a chaotic space take from us? Can architecture truly be driven by chaos or is that notion contradictory? Is there an intersection of order and disorder, calm and chaos. Can one be found in the other? The spaces use light, circulation, viewpoints, planes of a wall, floor, and thresholds to manifest both emotions in tectonic experiences.
