The following spreads depict my term project for UBC’s Architectural Production and Autodesk’s Revit course of 2022. The assignment took the form of a BIM study of a pre-existing building, progressively learning Revit’s all-included workflow, from a drafting/modelling perspective to its diagrammatic/rendering capabilities. I chose Atelier Barda’s Maison Gauthier, built in 2017, in the mountainous region of Mont-Tremblant, about an hour away from Montreal. The house was built for a client whose principle interests were her own ceramic studio and horse ranch. I was initially drawn to Atelier Barda’s design because of its traditional forms and vernacular construction language.Upon further examination, what intrigued me the most was the way the firm articulated the relationship between spaces. By this, I mean specifically the way they are accessed: the circulation, the flow of movement and the experiences associated with transitioning from one room to another - how they communicate with each other. The following drawings, pictures, renders and diagrams aim to elaborate the intricate circulation pattern of this house, despite its austere and simple exterior.

This project posits a gathering place between Koerner’s Pub and Sage Restaurant in the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, just off Marine Dr, which overlooks the incredibly scenic Salish Sea. The lot, long and narrow, is highlighted by an undulating masonry retaining wall. This served as the basis of the brewery’s architectural expression, calling back to the tradition of monastic breweries and the reverence for communion, breaking bread and convivial activity. Due to the lot restrictions, I opted to create a sense of space through verticality, adding a mezzanine level for more intimate conversation.

Heavily influenced by the Kowloon Walled City, this drawing represents a self-contained, dystopian city scape.
The drawing seeks to tell a story of the life within regulated walls and the false promises of utopia. Concepts of social organization and power relations are key fields of my interest.

vertical city
The profile of the structure and of its elevator systems were designed by drawing the silhouette of superimposed piano pieces. I initially conceived it as a cave-like sunken network of niches and halls but then rotated it vertically in order to explore different spatial qualities.

The culmination of my Intermediate Digital Design class, this project is a repurposing of the Dusty Greenwell Park in Vancouver. The project’s foundations were based off of multiple workflows in Grasshopper and Rhino. We learned to pull GIS Data from the Vancouver Open Database, create high-resolution meshes from Point Clouds, parametrically modelled houses and trees according to GIS Data and then examined multiple workflows to design a parametric bridge structure and a lookout tower, composing scripts for bridge clearance visualization among other tools. Over the course of the class, I learned about various texturing techniques on Rhino and HDRI lighting environments to give my renders a sense of photographic accuracy. The design of my lookout tower combined the parametric capabilities of Grasshopper with the architectural idiom of Gothic and Baroque architecture. I wished to explore a form of masonry construction which has a historical character but that is decidedly contemporary in its execution.

catapult Carleton University, Ottawa, ON 2019
The act of assembly, the creative process in itself led to the form that we now see. By exploiting the tensile properties of the piano strings and elastics, the form of the catapult naturally tends to that of a bridge being held by wires.
The objective of this project was to explore the structural possibilities of a disassembled piano. By using mainly some of the structural elements of the piano, I had to create a sense of movement, which led to this spring tension catapult on the next page.
