CABBAGE TOWN THEATRE

Toronto,Canada

Ryerson University | Design Studio II - 2012 | Individual Work Given the theme of the “human body�. Our second semester project focuses on creating a program related to the study of body movement. One of the tasks in studio was to create an Experiential Section; a section that shows how the user would experience the building and how they would move from point A to point B. Taking account materiality, light, and sizes of the spaces, the section tells the story of how the user would get from the sidewalk and into the lobby, the under03 ground and finally enter to the theatre.

2016

Ryerson University | Competition Top 3 - Finalist | Group Work - 2 People Designed for the site of Wychwood Barns, this competition project is an information kiosk. Within in the kiosk, there are multiple interactive screens that can display posters, maps and other multimedia. There is also a flyer wall that incorporates clips within the structure to hang posters, a charging station, a bike locking area and also seating. Kiosk No.5 named for its area in Barn 5, is situated in center of the site, the kiosk acts as a hub that is open and able to work year round, delivering information to the residents and visitors.

Ryerson University | Integration Studio II - 2013 | Individual Work

07

Office of the Future was the theme of our project for the whole year. Located in Financial District in downtown Toronto, we had to design a futuristic office that looks at the problems office towers have now and the solutions that can be implemented.

The first semester we looked at feasibility studies and site analysis. We each researched the ‘future office’ and looked at modularity, flexibility and change in the office layout that has been built presently. While thinking about form we also had to take into consideration the sustainability and feasibility of the design.

FRAGMENTS

Toronto,Canada

Ryerson University | Digital Tools - 2014 | Individual Work

11

This project examines the importance of light and shadow. By designing a lamp, students were able to study the importance of light and form. Even the simplest objects can create different atmospheres within a room.

Taking from the idea of a broken sphere, the elements of each fragmented piece creates an effect where it can both diffuse and control light,allowing a unique shadow and lighting effect.

EMBODIED COGNITION

Toronto,Canada

Ryerson University | ARC 820 - The School of Sentient Scientists | Individual Work

13

Human beings are narrative creatures. We tell stories of who we as individuals and citizens are. And so we create mediating devices, instruments and structures to enable understanding and allow communication. Starting with the rooftop as my location to explore, I chose the sense of hight to bring to this project. The product of my experiments came these temporary isolation ‘pods’ allowing visitors that need a place to escape from the city to experience a solitary journey from the ground to the sky.

ILLUSTRO

Toronto,Canada

Ryerson University | Design Off-site Exhibit - Digital Tools | Group Work - 6 People

15

This project is created through the use of multiple digital tools. This project used the CNC machine we were able to develop complex forms that translated from the computer model to a real model. This idea was taken further when we added arduinos and LEDs to create an interactive structure. The closer the person is to the piece, the brighter the LEDs will glow. This simple, responsive installation was displayed and used as part of the Toronto Design Off-site Exhibit and has been entered as part of Scotia-Bank Nuit Blanche 2014 as an exhibition piece.

GREYSTONE VILLAGE

Klokwerks| Large Village Redesign| Group work - 5 People (Office) In my one year of working at Klokwerks Digital Inc. I was given the opportunity to work on a large scale community project consisting of single family housing, multi-story units and condominiums. Working as a team and closely with Architects, Planners and Interior Designers, we turned architectural drawings, plans and elevations into working 3D models. With the clients direction, we transformed these 3d models into realistic renderings that became valuable interactive marketing tools at the sites presentation center.

ARTWORK Selected Artwork | Individual Work The artwork that I have chosen displays the results of a my observations in the shapes around me. Left shows the shadow study of the forms a boat sail creates, Top right shows shapes of crushed pop-cans integrating within the city. The middle right artwork argued the importance of functional design, stating if design is not thought out carefully, important pieces of architecture will eventually end up as part of an “architectural slum�. The bottom right shows a light and shadow study.
