THREADS OF REMEMBRANCE
Installation Room Design for Walking with Our Sisters
University of Toronto
Walking With Our Sisters is a commemorative art installation of over 2000 moccasin vamps, meticulously crafted to commemorate missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. These moccasin vamps, symbolizing the individuals they represent, tell a collective story of loss and remembrance.
Initiated by Métis artist Christi Belcourt, this project aims to acknowledge the profound grief experienced by the families of the missing and murdered. The installation serves as a tribute, a collective remembrance of these women as sisters, mothers, daughters, grandmothers and wives
Beginning in June 2012, the project gained momentum through social media, with Belcourt inviting people to create moccasin tops. By 2013, the response far exceeded expectations, with more than 1,600 vamps received and to this date 27 installations have taken place.
We looked into the common characteristics of this installation and our design was influenced on making sure the components of the installation were at the core of our decisions.
This includes the focus on a clockwise walking pathway, the use of red cloth, the sacred circle, and the various vamps which make up this commemorative space.

THE INFINITY TOWER
Computational and Parametric Design (University of Toronto)
Exploring the principles of parametric design by developing a ‘twisting tower’ - its floors, facade, and structural components - using Rhinoceres 3D and Grasshopper in order to create a laser cut fabricated physical model.
The stucture and the facade was entirely designed and created in Grasshopper using multiple plug-ins, that further reflect the complexity of the tower, and would provide with an interesting user interaction.
POPPY BIM
Architectural Animation, BIM Modelling and VR (University of Toronto)
Produced various scenarios of pop art with reference to technological and theoretical concepts of BIM, indistinguishable architecture and serial banality. Through the use of colours, details, and visual forms, we illustrated how the style of pop art is juxtaposed with the potential of modern technology.
Our study of BIM in relation to Pop-art was furthered as we explore the interconnectedness of architectural structure, media and consumer interaction, using a series of loop-based animations.
Check out the full animation here.

Design of the plates

replicates the concept of ripple effect of water, as they look like emerging out of the Designed a monochromatic color theme based on the concept of the TEDx Institution.
Participated in the annual design build competition by TedxUofT and grabbed first place. The idea was to design an installation based on the theme of Emerge, which interacted with the viewers and supported the principles of TEDx as well. Unfortunately, the installation could not come to life because of the COVID-19 pandemic. In collaboration with Ariadne Coban, Mehek Rehman
Individual responsibilities:
- Design scheme
- Color selection and creating different the 3 shades of red using a primary red, black and white paint
- Other shopping and budgeting plastic translucent
Small holes were cut through each circular disk. the plastic translucent chord ran through each of these holes to then attach at the ceiling.
Laser Cut Line
Laser Cutting Bed
The wooden circular disks were cut out of card-board plates, using the laser cutters available to use at the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture building.
Each unit was hung using velcro-adhesive strips, which can be bought from Canadian Tire. these adhesive strips are strong enough to hold objects of about 2-4 kilograms. The chord will be notched onto the strip and the strip was attached onto the ceiling.
To ensure that the disks maintain their 10cm distance from each other and also do not tilt to one side a ‘stopper’ was placed underneath each disk.
The stoppers were out of cardboard paper and added to the cord underneath each disk. They were spray painted respectively, glued and followed by a knot.
