V1 RECLAD PROJECT

Village 1 was the first established student residence on the University of Waterloo campus. As a result, this building is intertwined in the history of the University of Waterloo. While Village 1 adds much historic value to the University of Waterloo campus, the building enclosure is in need of a renovation, given its unsatisfactory thermal performance. This reclad proposal focuses on three main aspects, improving thermal performance, maintaining durability and creating an aesthetic which radiates the University of Waterloo’s mission of innovation.

NEW MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART

CASE STUDY: NEW MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART

Academic project focused on analyzing the facade structure and compnents of an existing building. This case study

Here, my group and I needed to identify and draft all materials using AutoCAD for visual references about its assem-

The mesh façade covers the windows as well as exterior walls, which reduces the amount of natural light the interior receives. In fact, the main source of light are fluorescent bulbs, despite a stacked design that could maximize the use of daylight [4]. This feature is useful for preserving the art exhibits, however the building also contains several office spaces which could benefit from more exterior light. Because of the large sizes of the mesh panels, the materials and the clips used to attach them were custom made, which can result to be costly when maintenance is needed [5].

STUDY: FINAL WOODEN HOUSE

CONSTRUCTION DETAIL

Academic project focused on creating diagrams and modelling based on Sou Fujimoto’s Wooden House. The diagrams focused on construction and the use of space, which included an exploded view and program sections.

PROJECT PRAIA LEGAL

This project, based in Vila Velha, Brazil, is intended to optimize the parking and pedestrian space as well as develop the area into a lookout point. The main focus of the parking redevelopment was to allow greater accessibility for this coastal zone. This was a collaborative effort among architecture students and volunteers from various countries.
