THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN MY WORK ... SO FAR
This portfolio is meant to be flipped through as a digital sketchbook of my selected works.
Hi, I’m Jessica, a designer recently graduated from the Masters of Architecture program at the University of Calgary in 2022. With a Bachelor of Applied Arts in Interior Design from Sheridan College Technical Institute, located in Oakville & Hamilton Ontario.
About INTRODUCTION
PORTFOLIOADAMSONJESSICA 3
I am interested in creating experiences through visual, digital and physical spaces. Passionate about environmental causes ensuring, we as people, continue to care for and enhance our surroundings.
Beginning with a sketch and conceptual models I generate iterations on 2d planes and in 3d space with physical volumes. Continuing on to volumetric digital models to gain a more accurate understanding of scale; pushing, pulling and shaping to generate a form suitable to the conceptual and programmatic goals. The selected projects I have chosen offer a range of this progress. The portfolio is a celebration of these tireless outcomes, highlighting the completion while hinting at the creation.

“As an architect you design for the present, with an awareness of the past, for a future which is essentially unknown.”
– Norman Foster
Rethinking typical marina archetypes, re-conceiving both structure and form. Rather than recessing marina channels inland creating barriers against water flow and human interaction with nature. This project aims to increase shore adaptability to promote natural habitation and flow with natural forces rather than barricading against them. The project investigates the potential for structures to be habitable while revitalizing the shorelines vulnerable to water fluctuations, resulting in the continued destruction of wetlands which naturally protect sediment and shorelines from Marinaserosion.have
become increasingly more congested, developing a static barrier from nature as retaining walls and boathouses are statically blocking the shorelines. This barrier between shore and water in an attempt to fight against natural forces along with environmental imbalances has further receded the shoreline within the Great Lakes. As I grew up on the water between Lake Huron, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario I have seen firsthand the recession of the water’s edge. As this was the final studio project of my Masters’s program we were given the choice of location and scale of the solution. Taking a new stance embracing rather than fighting nature in order to redevelop the shoreline and break down the barriers I chose to design a new lake scape and residential structure which works along with the watercraft lifestyle.

Who: Targeting those who do not commonly interact with public interfaces, but rather have blinders on while focusing on self-indulgent hierarchy further causing stratification.
The project aims to redefine the term “parasite”, often associated with marginalized suppressed groups within society. Expose acts as a catalyst for revolutionary ideas and a disseminator of social, political, and cultural injustice through art and media. Art imposes itself as a tool for protest as a projection of voice. Creating change within society within a highly dominating cultural surround. Alongside being the voice for the voiceless, Expose as a public facility aims to create generous space for all. Promotes growth, change, and unity rather than one that causes separation or loss of power through dissemination.

A series of opportunities through the coexistence of infrastructure interlaced within the environment.

The design of the facility was honed in through various stages of physical creation; from sketches to mockups and models the creation of “interlace” was grounded in this physical
the technologies that cleanses water thorough natural filtration of stone, gravel sand and botanic filtering processes, the facility is derived from connecting these new aged technologies with traditional developments. Programmatic elements within the facility allows the guests to become grounded in nature, through the understanding of its life-cycles. Positioned along a forgotten portion of the Bow river bank. The water from the river is diverted and filtered of debris, cleansed and used for the growth of food and substance for humans, animals and plants used within the restaurant. Spa programs scattered through out the facility are derived from the water life cycle, enhancing the experience of the guests. Bow river healthy recreational usage is encouraged through the training and water-launch area. Through the encouragement of natural cycles and allowing for the coexistence of the natural and human interactions interlace becomes a new outlook on living sustainability.
