Academic project
Information
Project Year: Semester 6,Winter 2024
Group Member: Lianyi Wang, Nicole Chojnowska, Ivanna Bandalak
Project Location: Markham Ontario, Canada
Project Description
This project tasked our group with incorporating the existing Heritage House into our design. Each member was responsible for creating a 2-storey 'Live/Work/ Grow/Age in Place' unit, adhering to Part 9 of the OBC Housing and Small Buildings code. Our project revitalizes the historic Hatton-Baker House, blending its rich past with a dynamic contemporary spirit. We are dedicated to preserving heritage while fostering innovation. From the aroma of freshly brewed coffee to the sight of blooming flowers, every corner of our design invites discovery and connection. Heritage Haven Plaza offers an immersive experience, featuring a quaint coffee shop, a vibrant flower market, and a farmers market with local produce. It honors tradition while meeting the evolving needs of our community.

Individual Project
Project Location: Chongqing, China
Project Description
Addressing urban challenges like work stress and high costs aff ecting young people, alongside the isolation of seniors in rural homes. is project located in rural area of a West-South Province in China aims to connect these groups through architectural design. It tackles the problem of unused rural properties, seeing them as chances for community growth and environmental care. e aim is to transform these abandoned and aged properties into appealing, multifunctional spaces that attract the young and honor the elderly. e focus is on redesigning and renovating old houses, integrating them with nature for a unifi ed living area. It encourages mingling and learning between generations, building a community where everyone’s contributions are appreciated.

Project Concept Statement
Revitalizing rural homes integrates reclaimed materials seamlessly into the mountain landscape, harmonizing old and new to ensure coexistence with nature through a sensitive approach. Creating a place that embodies warmth and calm, the initiative appeals to both local elderly and younger individuals craving a pause from urban life. Such an approach not only breathes new life into neglected areas but also fosters a community connected by shared values of sustainability and intergenerational exchange.
Site Location
Site situated in the serene rural landscapes of South-West China, this project site is conveniently a brief 1 hour commute from the metropolitan center. e local is embraced by an expanse of forest, offering splendid scenic vistas coupled with superior air purity.
To provide rain shelter at each units, I have offset ground floor of each mass. So during the rainy day, when people walk between the building, they are able to walk under the overhang roof or shelter.

Project Description
Design in the automotive industry continues to achieve amazing advances in sustainability, technology, and construction on materials. It is only appropriate that the infrastructure and architectural design of dealerships and service centers continues to grow and develop and represent automotive products properly. With the newly design Porsche Centre located in Vaughn, Ontario, we have strived to create a design that properly reflects the vehicles of the Porsche brand and look to the future of sustainability of designs and incorporation of strategic technology.

Individual Project
Project Location: Toronto, Canada
Project Description
To minimize the overall impact of surrounding site and neighborhood, this small building uses eco-friendly construction materials and recycled materials as the main components of the building. To avoid heavy excavation on site for the foundation, the recycled stainless steel made screw piles are used as foundation to support the whole building. Wall and floor assembly are all choosing eco-friendly construction materials. The green roof on this building is beautiful and fits in with environment. Wood pellets boiler and stove are helping with heating and hot water supply. While Toronto Hydro provide the electricity, the south facing solar panel would be ready as an addon supply for electricity.

Individual Assignment
Project Description
In this section, I have included two 2D detail drawings and one 3D detail drawing by using Autodesk Revit from the course 'Sustainable Materials & Methods 3 and 4' in Semester 5. Completing these assignments allowed me to enhance my electronic drawing skills, adhering to industry standards for the graphic illustration of architectural details.
Software used:
2D Detail Drawing 1:
Wall section detail, showing roof to wall connection including parapet. Steel structure and incombustible construction.
2D Detail Drawing 2:
Wall section detail, showing transition between brick and ACM claddings as well as curtain wall window head/sill conditions.
3D Detail Drawing:
This is a true 3D drawing of the 2D detail drawing 1. Materials are rendered in color and labeled with the material legend. This 3D detail drawing offers more direct perspective of material component.
2D Detail Drawing 3:
This detail drawing showcase a section detail of balcony connected to the storefront window. e structural thermal break for the balcony connection will help to reduce the heat loss from the warm building interior into cold exterior environment.
COMPUTATIONAL PROJECT

Project Year: Semester 6,Winter 2024
Semester 5, Summer 2023
Individual Assignment
Project Description
In addition to my experience with Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD, I have taken elective courses on Rhino, Point Clouds, and Dynamo in Revit during Semesters 5 and 6. These programs have enhanced my understanding of computational design in architecture. In this section, I showcase a pavilion design and an office wall design created using Grasshopper in Rhino. Additionally, I present a building modeling project utilizing point clouds, along with two projects developed using Dynamo in Revit.
8-A Rhino Project
Software used:
Pavilion Design:
Designed and modeled this Music Pavilion in the park for the course 'Concentrations in Computational Design 2' using Grasshopper in Rhinoceros. e project was then rendered using the D5 rendering program.
Office Wall Design:
Modeled the office wall by using Grasshopper in Rhinoceros in provided floor plan. en rendered office interior using the D5 rendering program.
Dynamo Project
Software used:
Building Facade Design:
Designed and modeled this building façade by using Dynamo in Revit to one of my building project and then using Enscape to render
Software used: Revit, Dynamo in Revit, Enscape
8-B
AL-BAHAR TOWER:
For this project, we were required to model an existing structure rather than designing our own. I chose Al-Bahar Tower as my model. I used Dynamo in Revit to model the façade and Revit to shape the building. The environment and people were then rendered using Enscape.
Software used: Revit, Dynamo in Revit, Enscape
Point Clouds Building Modeling
Project Description:
Professor supplied the class with a laser-scanned site and a set of cloud points. e project task was to upload the project to Autodesk ReCap in order to remove unnecessary cloud points. en linked these refined cloud points to Revit and used them as a reference to create a model. As a student new to this technology, this process provided me with a clearer understanding of how laser scanning technology is applied and utilized in building projects.
Software used:
Remove unnecessary cloud points of imported provided laser-scanned site on Autodesk ReCap.
Linked refined cloud points to Revit and create the building model
