RE: LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION FOR NANCY YEH

December 22, 2018 Dear Sir / Madam, To whom it may concern, Diamond Schmitt Architects (DSAI) are very pleased to recommend Nancy Yeh following her Waterloo Co-op work term from September to December 2018 in the capacity of Student Architect.

During her work term at DSAI Vancouver, Nancy collaborated with teams on two large scale residential projects, Mirvish Village in Toronto and Oakridge redevelopment, a large scale complex high-rise residential project in Vancouver, BC. Nancy adapted well to the project and team structures and quickly became a valuable team member.

For the Oakridge project, Nancy focused on the interior layouts and prepared Revit drawings for the Design Development phase. Her involvement on Mirvish included the development of unit layouts.

With her proficiency in most design and graphic software, Nancy also helped out designing graphic posters for the NLA office event, demonstrating good graphic design skills.

Nancy has also demonstrated commitment to her work, was responsible and put effort to achieve the scope assigned to her efficiently. Nancy’s contribution was greatly appreciated by the team.

We are confident Nancy would be a positive asset to any firm that hires her and wish her all the best in her future endeavors.

Sincerely,

Ana Maria Llanos, Architect AIBC, OAA, MRAIC Principal

BRANTFORD BIRD WATCHING TRAIL Landscape Design Project Location: Brantford, Ontario Course: 2B Design Studio Supervisor: Jane Hutton This is a final project for 2B studio where it focuses more on landscape design. I decided to develope a bird watching trail on our chosen site with a number of interventions mainly for enviromental purposes, creating and enhancing the habitat for local bird and fish species.

There is a visitor center at the entrance, a bird observatory deck, wave deck in the middle of the trail where people could rest, another deck closer to the water for enriching fish habitat and numerous bird pods along the trail where each pod contains different type of food according to different bird species. The vegetation and trees change throughout the site and according to where each pod is located because each pod is attrcting one specific type of bird.

FISH HABITAT RESTORATION/ RESEARCH Course: 2B Design Studio Supervisor: Jane Hutton A study of restoration methods to improve fish habitat in our site, Brantford Gravel Pit.

Removing River Dams Fish Habitat Restoration

Upstream Impacts: • Reduced natural function, water quality, oxygen, turbid flow, circulation, available habitat. rivers ability to adjust horizontally and vertically (reduce resillience to change) • Increased pollutant accumulation, stratification, temperature, algae blooms

Downstream Impacts:

• Loss of natural transport processes of sediments, nutrients and debris self- sustaining nature

• Reduced water quality & riverbed Elevation

Debris Jam

• Altered flow regime & temperatures • Starved of sediment, nutrients & debris (habitat building blocls)

Fish Habitat Restoration

Refernce: Rock Boulder Image Source: https://depositphotos.com/183030640/stock-video-peacock-wrasse-symphodus-tinca-fish.html

Boulder Clusters and Rock Piles Boulders placed (individually or in clusters) in streams and small rivers can break fast-moving currents and provide a resting area for fish. Large boulders Brantford (more than half a metre in diameter) are more preferable and they are usually placed away from the shoreline, particularly if they are likely to increase the speed of the current. In small lakes and ponds, piles of boulders or concrete blocks can be used to create a favourable spawning spot and attract a variety of fish, including bass, panfish, bullheads and walleye.

nancy yeh • 2019

In Luminescence, there are mainly 3 spaces with different atmosphere that makes up the atmosphere of Persona as a whole. The journey of the bath house is a smooth circulation starting from the brightest outdoor pool space to the perforated indoor warm pool and lastly to the darkest hot spa space. The light transforms from the brightest to the darkest just like the circulation of the movement from the outdoor space to the indoor space.

Each space has different materiality which provides its very own atmosphere. The warm pool area mimics the atmosphere of the clip “In the Mood for Love” which has perforated walls to provide delicate lightnings and makes the space not so bright yet not so dark (figure 2). The colourful tiles on the floor also gives the space a more playful sense that reflects the clip.

2. a

The hot spa area is very massive and has heavy concrete walls that reflects on the clip “Brazil”. The hot spa space is also the darkest space in the entire spa which has dim lights and other light source coming in from the first and second space (figure 3).

There are many moments in the entire building and people can see all these moments at a glance as they are walking down the ramp from the entrance where the light mainly transforms from bright to dark (figure 1), and this is also the reason why the entrance is at the middle of the entire architecture.

SEA

SHELL

SSEF Competition Entry Location: Palawan, Phillipines Course: 1B Building Construction Supervisor: Terri Mayer Boake Most of the ocean around the Philippines sea shore have a depth of around 25 meters deep to 100 meters deep.

While a lot of the ocean is swimmable, it is very hard to access the ocean.

The Sea Shell (an abbreviation from Sea Shelter) is a floating platform made out of timber, glass and steel for resting and recreational purposes in the ocean; thus it creates an opportunity to explore the ocean more.

Ocean users, especially snorkelers and scuba divers are no longer limited by the accessibility of transportation.

Multiple Sea Shells are set up at a swimmable distance from the sea shore. Therefore, users can base at the platforms, instead of affording boats, and can still explore a fair share amount of the ocean.

NORTHCLIFF LIBRARY Urban Micro Institution Location: Northcliff Blvd, Toronto Course: 1B Design Studio Supervisor: Donald McKay The main idea behind this library is the different experience of volume and heights where people first enter the library with a three-stories-tall atrium and then go up to the reading area that has a 6m floor to ceiling space and lastly to the enclosed one-floor hackers lab on the third floor. The library also intermixes with the concept of weaving where people experience it through the floor-to-ceiling weaving bookshelves on the second floor thats accented with several embedded study cubes in the bookshelves to distinguish another atmosphere of privacy in the building.

HLW International LLP New York City, United States Co-op Internship, 2018 January -April Architectural Intern

I had an 4-month architectural Co-op internship in HLW International LLP head quarter office in New York, and I was assigned to work in the base building department. I spent the majority of my time with the architectural team and I completed a variety of design tasks including design research, developing 3D models and renderings, preparing for presentations, bidding documentation, and construction documentation with assist of team members. I also developed my revit skill during my 4 month intership at HLW as I was working on revit for the majority of the time.

I’ve worked on many different project types such as high-rise residential towers, hotel renovation as well as interior design at many different phases of the project. The rendering above and the work beside is a design proposal that I worked on for an office building lobby renovation in New York City. I’ve also worked on architectural graphics and rederings such as presentation packages and Donor’s book.

圓境綠能生態聯合建築師事務所 Ecoland Corporation Architecture Firm Taipei, Taiwan Summer Internship, 2017 June - August Architectural Assistant, 3D Rhino Modeler Side View The project I was working on in Ecoland was an undeveloped commercial building in the corner of the science park in Guangzhou Science city, Guangdong, China. Since it was located in a park and the company’s target was green designs, the design team descided to create two commercial buildings into irregular tree-like shape connected by a shopping mall at the bottom which is suppose to be a hill.

I spent the majority of my time with the design team and I was involved in various stages of the project. I sketched and recreated first stage designs for the building to become more sustainable and calculated the floor area several times to meet the client’s need. However, my main task was to model the commercial building in Rhinoceros to make it closer to reality and convinient for construction but still keep the irregular tree- like design at the same time. The pictures on the right are the design that I modelled for the company and what the architect showed to the client.

NETTED The world today is full of different migrations consisting of interactions between various individuals, society and medium. The ocean historically is a space in flux up to date, with different animals and creatures migrating through current, and also allowing human migration with the invention of boats. Located at the shore, our intervention on the life guard stand features a wood fabricated globe which outlines the complicated interactions around the world with the medium of nets. It allows a space for the audience to look back to their thoughts concerning migration and to possibly interact by leaving notes and messages on the nets and on the globe to pinpoint their thoughts.
