Hello, I am Alain Heurtelou, a student at the McEwen School of Architecture. During my bachelor's degree, I gained knowledge in structural building analysis, topography, urban design, building design, and photography. I am happy to share with you some school projects that I have done in groups and individually. Also, featured in this portfolio are projects in which I had the chance to contribute to their realization in 2009-14 with International organizations, and architectural offices:Care Haiti,HELP and SOGETRA

Research subject for the master's degree in architecture

Research into sustainable and ecological urban development using renewable energies to protect the environment and improve the quality of life of local residents of the Caribbean.

This research focuses on:

Population growth challenging

Residential and industrial zoning limitations

Management of local resources in construction to optimize economic, social, cultural, and environmental impact

Implement passive and sustainable design principles in a multi-residential context

Protection from natural disasters

Respect local residents' culture, wilderness, and wildlife

Promotion of urban heritage and urban tourism

Create a place for cultural expression

STUDENTS PLAY HOUSE, GROUP DESIGN PROJECT

The goal of this project was to design a building that could house 70 rooms for students. Two groups of students were targeted, those who have children, and those who are single. The buildings were also required to include the following programs:

Restaurant Store

Mechanical room

Laundry room

Gym, a pharmacy

Terrace, a green roof

Two-level underground parking with a capacity for 200 vehicles. Finally an urban centre with space and games outside the building.

Our group developed a design plan based on data from the land and the existing building. Two additional proposed buildings were designed

Our group drew inspiration from the following buildings for the design of the Student

The restaurant

The gym

The first building on the right will house the commercial spaces, the mechanical room, the daycare, the gym, the pharmacy, and the students without families with one and 2 bedrooms.

The second building is intended to accommodate students who have families. They will have between two and three bedrooms. The second building is divided into two blocks, separated by stairs and bridges to ensure vertical and horizontal circulation. The set is made up of superimposed apartments (levels 1 and 2) and a townhouse above the apartment. The roof of the second-level apartments serves as a floor and terrace for the townhouses.

The unit plans

Finally, this project offers occupants space comfort, and accessibility to all. All basic services are located in one place without having to travel to go elsewhere.

The two buildings are placed on either side of the existing building, leaving horizontal circulation space between the buildings. Major restoration work has been carried out in the existing building by fitting out a deck at the rear to accommodate a very large volume of customers. Ramps have been added to the space to ensure accessibility for all.

To realize this project, Rhino, Autocad, Adobe Illustrator, and Photoshop were used. All renderings and pictures are done in Enscape. All drawings are done according to the book of Francis D.K. Ching.

The two new proposed structures add a shadow on the existing restaurant building in the morning.

Wall concept

It's a space for contemplation and relaxation. It's also an evocative project, the rectangular shape of the wall and the empty space refer to a cave with its random lines and curves. This provides spacious cells for relaxation, and the sides allow daylight to seep into the space.

Development of Durham Street and its surroundings

Durham Street in Sudbury was the subject of study for the development and improvement of the urban space in order to provide enjoyment to users who frequent this area during festive activities.

The development of Durham Street and its downtown surroundings allow the development of a vision that will lead to the design of a neighborhood of dynamic events in all seasons such as winter outdoor activities (skating, snowshoeing, skiing) and summer landscaping (fountain, paddling pool, etc.) and commercial spaces.

I had the opportunity to participate in the design of this modular shelter designed to house the victims of the earthquake of January 12, 2010, in Haiti. It is composed of a room of 16m2 (4mX4m) and a veranda of 6m2 (1m50 X4m), built with ecological materials (Bamboo) and mortar (cement). This project was designed and carried out with the International Organizations Help and Architecte de l'Urgence

I was fortunate to participate in the management, design, and training of carpenters for the construction of more than 1500 shelters in the Carrefour region in Haiti after January 12, 2010, with the International Organization Care Haiti

Digicel Tower

In the past, I was fortunate to participate in the design and realization of the structural study and supervision of the Digicel Tower building in 2009 with the construction and architecture firm SOGETRA. It is a 12-story building equipped with a helipad. It is completely made of reinforced concrete. The walls are covered with aluminum panels as a second coating and the installation of bay windows in the openings
