Machina: Assembling the Future of Britannia Beach
This speculative bath/spa, hotel, and community hall is inspired by the industrial history of Britannia Beach and is designed for Lower Britannia. Although Lower Britannia will be redeveloped into an affluent community, this building acts autonomously and rejects some aspects of current thinking around building forms in the redevelopment.
Collaborative Project between Marc-Andre Rapp and Yang Yu AutoCAD and PrismaColour on Paper UBC 2021 East of Howe Sound, Britannia Beach is located 15mins south of Squamish, BC along the Sea-to-Sky highway, the major arterial that connects Vancouver and Whistler. The current town is divided into Lower and Upper Britannia, linked by Cooper Drive and separated by Britannia Creek. Britannia Beach was once a company town with its primary industry being mining. The mine has since been converted into a museum and stands prominently at the entrance of the town. Although Lower Britannia will be redeveloped, the mining museum will remain in the area.

Food and Beverage Innovation Centre
Ink on Paper, AutoCAD, Rhino, and Lumion UBC AMS Design Office 2021 UBC’s Faculty of Land and Food Systems (L&FS) is one of the world’s top-ranking programs in sustainable agriculture, food systems, and human health as it relates to food and food production, ranking highest in Canada and #15 among the world’s top agricultural science programs. L&FS is where science meets society’s urgent needs by providing studies and research on protecting water systems and building resilience into the food supply. The proposed Food and Beverage Innovation Centre (FBIC) is an opportunity to:

(Ponyoscreenshots-Studio Ghibli) concept
Amphibi-Inn
Graphite and Mixed Media on Paper, Rhino, and Twinmotion UBC 2020 This project is inspired by the landscapes, experiences, and relationships found in the Miyazaki movie: Ponyo. The story of Ponyo delves into the relationships between land and water by following the lives of Sosuke, a human boy, and Ponyo, a magical goldfish. Complementing the scenes of the film is the musical accompaniment composed by Joe Hisaishi. The prompt given to Hisaishi on which the music is based was “the setting is a place where the sea and the land meet.” The concept for this inn aims to work with tides in order to bridge the earth and water realms. Guests to the inn get to experience the duality that exists between these worlds: the hardscape and softscape, rigidity and fluidity, and stability and instability. It is further articulated through the materials: wood and pneumatic bladders.

The UBC-student initiative thrift shop, known as Get Thrifty, sells clothing, books, and household items. To address the growing demand of the store and its services, it seemed appropriate to develop the lower portion of an airspace located directly behind the current Get Thrifty store in order to expand it. While focusing on the Get Thrifty space, we were cognizant of the co-expansion of an auditorium lobby making use of the upper portion of the airspace. The scope of work was limited, but wasn’t without it’s challenges, particularly around fire-proofing and ceiling heights within the expanded space of Get Thrifty.

Rather than focusing on the design of a residence, students used existing plans and sections of a house of their choice in order to explore functions of Revit. Having used the Melnikov House (1927-1929), designed by Konstantin Melnikov, in Moscow, Russia, was able to explore how to produce plans, sections, various axonometrics as well as taking the Revit information in to Enscape to generate interior and exterior renders.

The Alma Mater Society
It is a pleasure to write this letter of reference for Marc Andre who has worked with me for the last two years in the AMS Design Office at UBC as a Design Assistant Marc Andre has been a remendously creative addition to the office and whom has brought a friendly attitude to the workplace.
Marc Andre’s enthusiastic personality and empathetic mind will enrich his contribution in any office. t became apparent over the course of our numerous interactions that he is a diligent individual whose inclination for alternative thinking empowers him to experiment with new approaches in order to propose innova ive solutions to design problems, usually resulting in thoughtful and holistic spaces
Yours truly,

RE: Intern Architect Position Letter of Reference for Mr. Marc Andre Rapp
In closing, Marc Andre has been a receptive, mindful, and hard working employee who has shown immense passion for the profession. As he is experienced in concept design, schematic design and construction drawings, as well as in visualization, am certain he will be able to quickly and easily contribute to your office. recommend him highly and without reservation for a Junior or Intermediate ntern Architect position If you would like to discuss the above further, am happy to connect with you by Zoom, phone, or email.
Tel 604 - 822 5000 E-mail
His ability to produce schematic and design development drawings is augmented by his background n architectural technology and construction drawing experience Furthermore, he has a good eye for detail so the drawings he produces are thoroughly annotated and dimensioned. While he is very competent at working with numerous digital platforms (AutoCAD, Rhino, SketchUp, Revit, Lumion, Twinmotion, Adobe Creative Suite), he also sketches and renders freehand confidently. During his time with me Marc Andre also skillfully constructed physical models He eagerly utilizes models to better understand context and form so modeling becomes a part of his process. Beyond the technical skills, he is capable of public realm planning animation, and writing technical reports. Additionally, can attest that he is quite connected to nature and has a deep interest in landscape art, environmental reclamation and landscape anthropology.
