EXTENDED PLAY
PARTNERS:
INSTRUCTOR:
Extended Play was designed by representing the diversity of movements through boundless spaces while promoting the various layers of play to dismantle the level of the hierarchical nature to further emphasize ambiguity.
We were interested in representing an architecture that can be more open and more communicative to the broader audience. The program of this project is a little gym, a kid’s play space, that offers various activities.
The use of LED lights throughout the space emphasizes where the play happens in the building but also as a way for kids to use their imagination.

BLURRED BOUNDARIES
ARC 403| FALL 2022
PARTNERS: CASSIDY FRISCH
INSTRUCTOR: ANNETTE LECUYER
Blurred Boundaries aim was to bring people of all ages together to live on the site to create a multi-generational housing complex. This is accomplished through various unit sizes in both the existing building (Sedita) and the new buildings which include studios, one bedroom, two bedroom, and three bedroom units.
This project blends the boundaries that the different generations may have and allows them to come together, interact, and help one another.
The blurry boundaries can not only be seen in the public program of the library, but also with the connection points of the shared balcony spaces and courtyard spaces on both the ground and basement levels.
The building creates characters of the existing building and site by activating the street frontages and the building facades with lively occupiable space.

INSTRUCTOR: ELAINE CHOW
Black Rock is a community located in nothwestern Buffalo. The community is mainly residential and with that there are not enough services that support the community. To allow as much services needed for the community a community center was designed on a site to fulfil the needs of the residents.
Unified is designed to create a a small community within a big community with the main idea being to allow the circulation and the spaces to complement each other. The programs to which surrounds the most important space in the centre, acts as the core of the building, from that creates circulation.

ARC 301| FALL 2021
INSTRUCTOR: SETH AMMAN
Sensory chamber is a boathouse/boat museum designed for 17 Sweeney Street, North Tonawanda, Buffalo. The building was designed based on the concept of using two senses, seeing and hearing of the water which encourages people to interact with the water-front.
The curvature of the building forms a circulation which allows people to flow through the spaces. The exposure of the structure which is similar to wood framing boat.
The buiding creates a community on the inside and also on the outside by providing spaces where residents of North Tonawanda can experience different views and enjoy one another’s company.

CASE STUDIES
ARC 442| SPRING 2022
INSTRUCTOR: ANNETTE LECUYER
The drawings were done for Construction Technology as a way to identify and be knowledgeable about construction materials and systems. The drawings include the elevation, section and plan of the portion of the buildings which were the Croffead House by Clark and Manefee and the Pierce County Environmental Service Building by Miller Hull.
An extraction of the area that shows important elements within the section were drawn as axons for a closer look of what materials were used to construct the building.
