A POET’S RESIDENCE

MIXED COMMERCIAL & RESIDENTIAL

PROJECT BRIEF

The project will see the design of the Poet Laureate’s residence in Winnipeg. There will be two design requirements that must be addressed. First, the concept of poem or poetry must find expression in the final design. The second requirement is that the concept of time must be expressed in the final design.

CONCEPT STATEMENT

Time can be defined as an experience. Time is most commonly perceived through change and movement. One could say that we are only aware of time because of change. Nature is one of the most common ways of perceiving time. Whether it be short-term through sunlight or long-term through the seasons, nature is a constant natural clock.

USER(S)

Poet Laureate, Cafe Users

INSTRUCTOR(S)

Kurt Espersen-Peters

PROJECT DATE

January 2020 - April 2020

PROJECT LOCATION

1520 Corydon Ave., Winnipeg, MB

The defining aspect of the Poet’s Residence is the central courtyard which houses a bonsai tree. Tying into the time concept, this courtyard acts as a natural clock. Allowing sunlight in, users are constantly aware of what time it is, according to the sun, as if it were a sun dial. The tree also acts as a way to determine what time year it is. This central courtyard also acts as a way to allow natural sunlight into the basement, which is the living quarters of the Poet Laureate.

PROJECT BRIEF

Co-working, with its focus on community and collaboration, has grown rapidly in recent years. The development of a new co-working office space will aim to foster social change through strengthening connections within the community.

CONCEPT STATEMENT

226 Main Street aims to become a space where individuals can come together and work with one another effortlessly. Where the spaces merge together, flowing freely into and out of one another. Weaving together and forming a whole, seamlessly.

USER(S)

Sewers, underprivileged users

INSTRUCTOR(S)

Tijen Roshko & Nicolette Layne

PROJECT DATE

September 2020 - December 2020

PROJECT LOCATION

226 Main St., Winnipeg, MB

The project aims to become a space where individuals come together to create clothes through sewing and embroidering, by teaching and learning, a space where opportunities thrive. People seeking to earn money through their creations or people seeking to earn a new skill set.

Within the space would be an open concept workshop, with designated private workspaces if needed. These private spaces would not be completely secluded, as some barriers in the space would not be the convectional material such as concrete. A sort of transparency flows throughout the building, creating a welcoming atmosphere all throughout.

PROJECT BRIEF

Media Arts has been rapidly growing in the recent decade. With this project, design a media arts education & production centre.

CONCEPT STATEMENT

Media arts is a display of emotions conveyed using everyday objects, such as paper. Whether it be the artist’s emotions themselves or invoking feelings of the observer, it becomes a manipulation of both material and emotions. The open-endedness of the field allows for more than what meets the eye-- as what appears to be simple objects often have meanings that gouge on a deeper level.

USER(S)

Contemporary Dancers, Projection Mappers, Researchers, Videographers

INSTRUCTOR(S)

Jason Shields, Clifford Goodwill & Hyeonji Kwon

PROJECT DATE

January 2021 - April 2021

PROJECT LOCATION

310 Ross St., Winnipeg, MB

The media arts center is to become a place where analog meets digital. The space is aimed towards contemporary dancers that would work in collaboration with projection mapping to create a performance that encaptures one, reeling them deep into their emotions. Several of the spaces within the media arts center would be transparent, allowing one to look into each space, inviting them in, as inspired by conceptual work. Filled with studio spaces, it becomes a space for collaboration, where ideas run wild. Dark tones contribute to the intimate space, with window details allowing colours to fill the space, mingling with each other. Overall, the space will become an educational, collaborative space that is welcoming and accessible to all.
