CONTINUING HERITAGE: 2019

Vancouver’s Chinatown has been subject to innumerous internal and external fluxes over its existence. The neighbourhood can no longer cling to its past identity. A dilemma exists in preserving its legacy and heritage while avoiding ‘museumification.’ In times of disappearing cultural food spaces, a new ‘hybridization approach’ to architectural food typologies may offer contemporary visions of heritage preservation by introducing layered multiplicity. This project focuses on creating a catalyst cultural space which makes food an educational, social, and urban spectacle.

DANCE OF LIGHT | 2018

Partnered project with myself and Alexandra L.

As part of an existing aspirational programme of the Dene Nahjo people, the proposal takes inspiration from the dramatic sun movements over the Yellowknife region over the year for this cultural & social innovation centre. The vast and dynamic land of the subarctic North has been a deeply rooted cultural aspect to the Dene community for millennia. The project focuses on this connection to nature by playfully capturing sunlight, seamless transitions between the inside of the building to the outdoor landscape, and fluid program spaces.

The folding origami-like geometry in the roof extends down into walls and knits community activities together under one continuous fabric. Tesselated skylights and large south-facing window openings allow for bright light to infiltrate, highlighting various activities and enriching the community through the contrasting conditions year-round. It is a place that celebrates infinite light and immense darkness while providing a safe and productive social space. By taking advantage of the opportunities offered by the geometry, structure and passive-hybrid ESAC strategies were heavily integrated, allowing the building to closer reach the Net Zero Energy goal and become another cultural example of environmental stewardship.

2930 LAKESHORE BLVD | 2016

Part of a studio project to design a mid-rise mixed-use building and experimenting with parametric facades. Located in a slow-growing and neglected neighbourhood at the corner of Islington Avenue and Lake Shore Boulevard, this mixed-use mid-rise building serves as a community amenity and social gathering place for the local families and residents. It aims to promote building and planning redevelopment along Lake Shore Boulevard with emphasis on increased vegetation and quality materials and construction (wood) on the premises. This project experiments with parametricallydesigned facade systems.

Project team includes myself, Stephanie T. and Timothy C.

A sustainable visitor’s centre for Kortright Innovation Park. This building aims to enhance connections to the environment and educate visitors about net-zero strategies. The facade echoes the verticality of the surrounding trees. Net-zero strategies include rainwater collection and treatment, solar energy harvesting, and natural ventilation for high energy efficiency and performance. The building not only provides an experience for visitors learning about sustainable architecture, but also becomes an example for future buildings that encourage healthier, more sustainable designs.

Warming Nut is a pocket of warmth and retreat in the chilly surrounding landscape. This shelter constitutes a bulbous, budding form with a crafted shell of strung veneer strips – reminiscent of woven bird nests and historical Native huts in the context of The Forks, Winnipeg, Manitoba.

CO-GROWTH | 2014

A design proposal for the 16th Shelter International Architectural Design Competition. Design team includes myself, Stephanie T., Joseph O.

We were tasked to redefine SHELTER. Our approach was to create a series of pockets for symbiotic healing between people and plants in an urban park setting. This shelter allows interactions with natural light, sounds, texture, atmosphere, and living matter. An elevated wooden garden walkway incorporates playground elements as well as intimate spaces amongst the tree tops. With community-driven planting activities, the responsibility of tending to plants maintains continuous healing. Over time, this elevated garden transforms into a space for both people and plants alike to flourish.

NOVA Prototype I+II | 2015-16

A design-build installation for Nuit Blanche 2016. Design and production includes myself, Stephanie T., Thy V., Nineveh R., Ishan P., and Shivathmika K.

PROTOTYPE I: An ambiguous tesselated mass is proximity-triggered to reveal a sudden expanse of space, made by LED lights against a mirrored backdrop. The effect is inspired by a star’s explosion.

Individual capsule modules are created from laser-cut cardboard strips slotted into a larger cardboard shell form. To create the infinity mirror, LED lights are wired through several capsules with a mirror surface base and a oneway mirror film, thus producing continual light bounces. Additionally, a skin of patterned, reflective sheeting is applied to produce a starry effect. Budget for this prototype was $1,800 (half shell).

Timelapse: https://youtu.be/Adl-UhtuoQQ

Prototyping light effects: https://youtu.be/ZiW1vZRH7mQ

PROTOTYPE II (facing): The design was altered for a hallway/alley site and budget purposes. The mirrored infinity effect is created on by continual reflection and light effects on either side of passersby.
