Hi! My name is Rui Juan Yin (or alternatively Juan Juan Yin) and I am currently a second year architecture student at the University of Waterloo. My interests lie in designing architecture that inspire both the people and its surrounding environment. Design should be something that creates possibilities for connections, innovation, and the future; it should be attentive to details, and respond to its program accordingly. I find joy in designing these specific instances in time within each of my projects. I hope to continue discovering what architecture means to me while contributing to the success of your firm. Thank you!

The Cloud-9 Library responds two-fold; to the site and to the people. Sitting at the intersection between three major streets, sound mitigation was a major issue. To create a calm library atmosphere, the library’s response to the site was to elevate itself in both a physical and metaphorical sense. Physical separation was achieved by elevating the library above street noise with as little components touching the ground as possible using a space truss system. Metaphorical/psychological separation was addressed by orienting all windows inward creating an internalized program, away from the streets below. The mirrored glass facade reflects the clouds as a visual display of departure from the ground below. When there are no clouds, the facade allows the library to camouflage into the sky and seemingly disappear from the site. Cloud-9 responds to the people by facilitating a bike hub. This hub consists of a specialized bike repair center, a public air pump service, and a bike shop/rental. On either side of the site lie major bike routes which have seen increased activity due to Covid-19. The Don Valley lies to the northeast, whose main path entrance follows down through the middle of the site. By elevating the building passerby are able reach the Don Valley below.

Sustainability Statement Because Toronto is a colder climate, there is an emphasis on heating. Solar panels provide energy and help lower the operational carbon the building uses. Green concrete is used for the facade it requires less energy to produce and has a lower embodied energy and embodied carbon than conventional concrete. 0
During winter both solar wall5 and radiant floor heating will be used (interchangeably or 1 2 3 4 10m simultaneously, as needed). During the summer, water from the outdoor rainwater collection cistern is chilled during the evenings and helps cool the building down (acting as a cooling tower) during the day. This system works hand-in-hand with the natural refrigerant economizer system, located on the side of the building where the elevators and fire exit stairs are located.

Re-Configure is an adaptive re-use project using the post-war style Alexandrian apartments on 53 Water Street, Kitchener, Ontario. Each unit has been discreetly designed to be adaptable to the daily life of its inhabitants and is highly customizable depending on their needs and reconfigurable depending on the time of day. At the end of each floor at the end of the hall lies a public gym whose program can be customized using partition screens stored in storage space outlining the auditorium. Each floor plays with the dichotomies between public and private, shared and personal. Each unit is highly personal, but as they emerge from their units the programs of the floor plate become more and more public, starting from the drop-down tables lining the hallways to the auditorium at the ends of each floor.

Komorebi aims to engage student residents to both exterior and interior moments. Interiority is achieved through sinking down the bottom layer into the earth, creating sub-levels within the house. Exteriority establishes itself through the immersive windows and the big ceiling skylight which brings in direct light from the south. The presence of shadows on the ground from the skylight and windows are filtered through the heavy surrounding forestry creating light dappling shadows, bringing the exterior onto the interior walls and floors.

Is Slamoka is located on the south side of Iceland, at the foot of the Hvannadalshnukur glacier. This location houses a glacial geologist and UAV surveyor mechanic, operating side-by-side to discover and monitor the mysteries of Iceland’s glaciers. Windows are oriented to provide a view of the glacier as well as maximizing daylight, which also acts as a passive heating strategy. The main energy system is centered around geothermal, taking advantage of Iceland’s rich reserve of geothermal energy.

Located in Edmonton, Alberta, the Silk Road Market revitalizes the intersection between Edmonton’s Chinatown and the Arts District to the south. Looking back at the history of the Silk Road, it was a trading route from Asia to Europe that allowed exchange between arts and goods, a notion that is captured through the positioning of the axis between the market, Chinatown, and the arts district. The design of the canopy was inspired by traditional Chinese umbrellas to introduce Asian culture and to function as a stand towards the uprise in Asian hate crimes since Covid-19. The pattern of the metal screen are inspired by traditional Asian artworks which usually featured a cherry tree branch in blossom. A performance stage and a designated featured local businesses area help promote the local businesses as part of the revitalization plan. The performance stage keeps the market fresh, to ensure customer return and can enjoy an array of cultural, historical, artisan, or agriculture related events.
