The Experiments As climate change looms over our heads, there is a need to switch to renewable energy. The top candidates are wind and solar energy but nuclear energy should not be overlooked.

This thesis explores the idea of “energy from waste”; exploring a design system that sustains itself through renewable energy.

Solar Site

The system is based on passive design strategies, renewable energy sources and recycled nuclear power to show that it is possible to sustain life.

Energy - Waste System

Buoy Line

Food starts at the Solar Site as it is grown in the greenhouse and is sent to the other sites. The food waste that is produced, comes back and is used as fertili!er for the ne9t bunch of crops.

Human waste is recycled at the Nuclear Site as there are multiple biogas plants.

The human waste creates electricity to use.

As nuclear power is generated more steadily than the other two, in times when they lack power, the energy from the Nuclear site will be sent over.

Passive Design Strategies Used Heating ones

Orient rooms with greatest heating needs to winter sun

Bufer ones

Thermal bufer !ones between e9terior environment and spaces that need temperature control

Deep Sun

Staggering rooms so that they all receive sunlight in a thick plan

Cross Ventilation

Allows wind to travel through plan and cool it down

Direct Gain Rooms

Sunlight to come in through rooms to heat the thermally cooked mass

Night Cooled Mass

Washrooms

Green Roof

Used to reduce temperatures of roof surface and

surrounding air

Windbreaks

Areas that provide shelter from the wind

Greenhouse

Solar is an experiment around the use of solar energy and creating spaces around that idea. Many passive design strategies are used around passive solar gain and so they are designed to be the most prominent such as thermal heat gain through the greenhouse.

The program of the building includes rooms for visitors to sleep, washrooms, a small restaurant and many places to sit, both on the interior and the exterior.

Nuclear is designed around the two small modular nuclear reactors.

This is so to make sure visitors will be confronted with the possibility of living near nuclear technology through the orientation of the buildings.

Dynamo Exploration

In GBC, we took a class called Computational Design, exploring Dynamo and how to use it to our advantage. This particular piece is a perforated facade design. The perforations and materials were up to us. The rendering software is D5 Render.

GBC

This project was to take a building and recreate it in Dynamo. This building is the Brickwell Mixed Use Building in South Korea. My main focus was getting the railing to be similar.

Chair

The prompt for this chair was to create something that would hold the human body for a certain amount of time. This was done in Furniture Design class at OCADU, where we explored what furniture is. I challenged ‘a certain amount of time’ and created a chair that hosted someone for a second.

32

OCADU

This is the fnal product. t was done by bending thin veneers of wood via three diferent molds to achieve variety in the shapes. The chair legs at the bottom serve to hold up the waves and also play with the idea that this is a chair.

Final Design Statement Music, as a universal language, has the power to unify people. In this project, music serves as the tool to bring individuals together physically and emotionally, shown by the main character in the animation. They use the platform as a drum to call upon their people and the whales and as they play music together, they connect emotionally. The simple shape of the platform, in the shape of a drum, aims to encourage collaboration with each other and with the whales. The animation style is paper cut stop motion, one of the oldest styles to represent how far and long the two Diomedes peoples were uni ed. (ni cation ccurs when coming together for the calling of the drum.
