GROWING IN PLACE Multigenerational Home Crescent Heights, Calgary, AB Studio II Project (Individual) 2019 Programs: Rhinoceros, Illustrator, Photoshop Multigenerational living can have immense social and economic benefits, such as stronger family ties and shared housing costs. However, many avoid this lifestyle due to the discomforts that may arise. These may include occasional tensions from the lack of privacy, inflexible spaces which limit individual autonomy, and large yet undesirable homes. Growing in Place mediates these by adapting to the changing needs of growing families, providing places of relaxation and respite, and by ageing the home in a beautiful way.

FAMVILLE Multigenerational Multifamily Home Crescent Heights, Calgary, AB Studio II Project (Individual) 2020 Programs: Rhinoceros, Illustrator, Photoshop
Famville challenges discomforts which may deter us from a multigenerational lifestyle, which includes the need to move houses to accommodate changing family sizes and the lack of privacy. To make multigenerational living more desirable, the units are designed to be combined or separated as necessary. This allows families to age in place and adjust privacy levels as desired. Also, this mixed-use building optimizes opportunities offered by having a mixed generation community, through its senior-run daycare and multiple active living programs, including a gym, yoga studio, glazed walkways, and numerous walking paths around the site.

OPEN CANVAS Digital Art Galley and Home Inglewood, Calgary, AB Studio I Project (Individual) 2019 Programs: Rhinoceros, Photoshop, Illustrator In the speculative city, data collection and sharing often has negative connotations, notably the loss of privacy. On the other hand, data sharing provides immense opportunities for open collaboration projects which can benefit society, with examples including Wikipedia and YouTube. Open Canvas celebrates data by allowing the public to share their digital art on the LED facade of the building and its surrounding site through a mobile application. The artwork on the expansive canvas creates dynamic and immersive experiences for the daily commuters moving between downtown Inglewood and the future CTrain station located just south of the site. The building form frames a plaza between itself and two bustling breweries, then which the canvas can become a backdrop for community events. Although lovers of art, the two building residents enjoy privacy from the glowing displays, as their working and living spaces are shielded from the busy activity and focuses on calmer views of the neighbourhood.

GROW COOK EAT Culinary School and Green House False Creek Flats, Vancouver, B.C. Comprehensive Project (Individual for Building & Partners for Plaza Design) 2016 Andy Kesteloo Memorial Student Project Award - CaGBC Programs: Revit, Photoshop Industrialized farming has led society to forget where our food comes from. Many consumers are unaware of the unsustainable and unethical practices often used for mass food production. Grow Cook Eat (GCE) hopes to reignite this lost connection by surrounding the culinary students and community with the entire process of food. My classmate, Avnish F., proposed a green house that neighbours the GCE. Together we designed the adjacent bike path and Glen Grove Park.

MT. EVEREST SERIES Renderings & Orthographics Graphics II Project (Individual) 2020 Programs: Rhinoceros, Blender, Grasshopper, Slicer for Fusion 360 What started as a realistic Mount Everest Blender model lead to explorations of different rendering and drafting techniques. Blender was used to generate Beaux-Arts and pop-art style renderings. Grasshopper automated pixelated art and extracted data from the model for parametric design. Slicer for Fusion, Rhinoceros, and Blender aided to create an axonometric line drawing showcasing the structure of an abstracted mountainous form.

CONNECTED LOUNGE PAVILION International Design-Build Project Burnaby, B.C. + Hildesheim, Germany 2015 Architectural science and interior design students from the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) collaborated with architecture students from Hochschule fur Angewandte Wissenschaft und Kunst (HAWK University) to design and build a pavilion for each campus. My team’s winning design, Embrace, creates comfortable scenarios for users to lounge as individuals or larger groups. It is adaptable to both sites and climates, and uses efficient construction methods.

I took on the role of a junior sustainable building advisor at the interdisciplinary and research-based architecture and design firm Perkins and Will. There I worked on building projects of varying scales and programs, but each with the common goal of ambitious sustainability targets. Experiencing early design, construction, and operational phases of these projects emphasized the importance of upholding sustainability goals and the importance of collaboration throughout the teams of consultants and stakeholders.

MR. BEAN SCREEN Parametric Screen Inglewood, Calgary AB Graphics I Project 2019
Screens are often used to control and restrict visual information, but instead, we can use screens as a medium to share information. The Mr. Bean Screen invites passersby to share their facial information onto large screens with moving pegs. Using a Grasshopper script the heights of the pegs relate to the greyscale of the defining facial features. This art display engages individuals to share more of themselves and personality with the rest of their community.
