Journey to Self I Salutogenesis Institute for Wellness, AB.

Journey to Self celebrates the process of finding oneself after a traumatic experience and for some, with out traumatic experiences. By exploring the physical, environmental and psychological aspect, one is able to come to a place of reconciliation with self. The building lends itself to this form, while placing programs in support of this philosophy.

1. Locally sourced materials.

2. Maximum daylighting via eco-friendly glazing.

3. Cooling maximized, by green feature and water.

4. Compact building land base.

5. Greenery maximized for better air quality on the exterior.

6. Outdoor pond for water collection maximizing building slope.

7. Wired heated double glazed self cleaning tempered glass, climate adaptive to Calgary.

In finding oneself back again, one must explore the three main life aspects to understand it on a personal level. This include the Environmental, Physical and Spiritual/Psychological.

Using wood to explore the intricacies of the design dynamics supported understanding of the materiality component of the design from the progrm model to the sectional model of the building.

MOAPAA I Museum of Aboriginal People’s Arts and Artifact

The project found a good interpretation and representation of the indigenous people’s powerlines and its significance by its placement on the plan. By retrofitting the existing daycare space expanding storage of the art pieces and maximizing the new space for a museum space to display the extensive pieces.

An arts space for creative expression aiming to address social issues like mental crisis. An integration of Arts and Nature to facilitate creativity and better mental state. It is strategically beside the DropIn Centre. It responds to the site by being in harmony with the shape of the site and surrounding landmarks. It features green spaces for rest, meditation, social interaction and connection to nature. Kalzip composite material and ETFE - Ethylene Tetraﬂuoroethylene were utilized. This provided the opportunity to work with advanced building materials and resolve construction detailing. 1.

Project Partner - Corinne Osmanski

Strategically located in Calgary, this rich gallery is dedicated to essentuating the works of artist, Umberto Boccioni through creation of unique lighting and mood experiences of the gallery interior. An art gallery design for Landau fine arts. The French gallery would be opening a new branch in Calgary. On the ground floor of a new condomunium building located in Sunnyside and Kensignton, located on the north side of the Bow River. The art works on display focuses on Umberto Boccioni.

The office in blue depicts a cool administrative feel while the bathroom maintains a white sanitary colour and the archives, a grey neutral feel.

This project highlighted supervisory task of this hotel among other buildings from conceptualization to construction. At the Oil and gas free trade zone of Port Harcourt Nigeria. I supervised the construction of this Hotel while collaborating with allied professionals of the project.

Residential House Competition

With sustainability intervention at the fore front, my team worked collaboratively to develop a winning solution to the design with its existing challenges. In the heart of Lagos Nigeria, the brief was to design a residential building in a site context with ventilation challenge. Our team skillfully solved the design problem while maximizing site advantages.

Ceramic Column Clay 3D Printing

manipulation of grasshopper in Rhino to create parametric skins for 3D printed clay. For this project, png vector images of patterns were inputted into grasshopper to create patterns on the skin of the the column. By modifying domains of protrusions and depressions on the skin while avoiding form intersections, a neat form, single polyline of the form and a gcode was produced for 3d printing of the object.

With my interest in 3D forms, I enjoyed the process, learnt about the form as well as how to manipulate clay.

Forms Generated

The idea behind the design was use of organic forms that related with one another through stacked curves to form an organic whole furniture piece. This ignited our idea of the screens that would be explored that are stacked vertically to form a whole. In generating our curves, we sought the movement from the wrist.

Rendered representation of robot arm and object in rhino.

Using kinect motion tracker and connection to grasshopper, wrist movement was captured as points. the points were interpolated in grasshopper to form lines. These lines were lofted to surfaces. The surfaces manipulated to form cones or conical extrusions. The surfaces were boolean subtracted from the screen surface forming conical extrusions onto the screen. This resulted in the form. To cut the extrusions from the styrofoam, the lines were transcribed as paths into robot studio for the robot to follow to cut.

How computational design has impacted understanding the difference between reality and virtual design. The design aimed at replicating an object in virtual scenery, and producing parameters towards the object. This trcks the brain in differentiating reality from virtual computational designs.

Putting toy forms to form an estranged object in a sectional study. Aesthetics is the fundamental means where objects relate to each other and the four aspects of objecthood; real object, real qualities, sensuous objects and sensuous qualities. From the drawings produce, reality is perceived as being built out of fusions of alluring objects. By applying realism through textured aesthetics, alluring lines from lines, hidden lines to contour lines, a philosophy to the object is born which produces extremely weird outcomes and evokes emotions. From a previously single object to a composite one. Through fragmentation of its intersection with another unique form that yields the distortion from the original form into new forms, composition of materials of source objects.
