ART ARTLAND. LAND. Waterloo University - Fall 2021 Softwares Used: Rhino, Enscape, Illustrator & Photoshop

Art Land is located in Kitchener’s Civic District and it is an adaptive reuse project which transforms a Kitchener police station into an art centre and public square. Influenced by the civic district’s sparsity and lack of connectivity between it’s buildings, Art Land aims to connect and disconnect programs simultaneously. This gives a social aspect to the space which welcomes people

into the building but also gives a sense of intimacy when needed.

Art Land is a collection of “Art Stations” placed loosely along the site to create courtyards that connects these houses.

The curvature of the landscape starts from the first floor and is continuous to the roof using skylights to overlook the courtyards, creating a connection between the whole building.

This project earned an Award for “Outstanding Design Work in 2A for Fall 2021” & was featured on Waterloo University’s Website

FUN-TOPIA. FUN-TOPIA. Waterloo University - Fall 2021 Programs Used: Rhino, Vray, Illustrator & Photoshop In Collaboration With: Kinna Mistry, Patricia Poiana, Naya Sanchez, Ashka Shah

This project addresses the fundamentals of making architectural form and space with emphasis on design inquiry, exploration and Process. It also concentrates on classic instances of form sources in architectural design such as function, experience, structure, construction and context.

The dwelling’s design was based on an additive technique in which a huge retaining wall was built perpendicular to the original retaining wall of the site in Cyprus. The dwelling is composed of three main elements, which include the floating office, huge retaining Wall , and the main double height space.

MARKET ISLAND.

Another way to have fun and grab all the essentials is to come down to the local market. The Market is open with platforms bridging between towers with fresh cupcakes, handmade jewelery, pottery, clothing, art and more.

Everybody comes to this lively island to get all that they need. There is no money so people exchange what they think is worth the same. Residents will often give away any extra items they have lying around at home, so you will never leave the Market with empty hands.

BACKYARD

The Backyard is a place dedicated to of FunTopia where people can meet space for playing, jumping, swinging for imagination to flourish and to be young and old can escape to, so they playground, a backyard, a schoolyard

HOUSING ISLAND.

All our structures will be built with the building typologies we are all most comfortable with: Lego blocks for flexibility, tree houses for adventure and pillow forts for comfort. Together these three methods of building can create the perfect habitat for rest & relaxation, interaction and most importantly, play!

In this communal housing complex, no one will be far away from each other, you will always have your neighbors to play with.

THE THE TOWER TOWER HOUSE. HOUSE. Waterloo University - Fall 2020 Programs Used: Rhino, Vray And Photoshop

The Tower’s central concept was to break the boundaries of what is considered private and public. The idea is based on simple design principles like the tower’s relationship to the site and the tower’s spatial hierarchy. Since the pandemic has started, architects and others have concluded that private spaces are much more important than they were in the past. Therefore, when I started this project, I aimed to design three isolated units for each student to occupy independently with terraces that act as gathering spaces between these units. However, As the project developed,

An interest in bringing the students together Rather than isolating them initiated.

The staircase was the perfect element to break this boundary between private and public. The Stairs were put deliberately through the units rather than the outside of the building, which causes penetration between different spaces. The stairs no longer act as a circulation space only but also a public space.

Furthermore, students no longer occupied the unit on their own, because each level consisted of one public space and one private space on the other side.

This project earned an Award for “Outstanding Design Work in Arch192 for Fall 2020” & was featured on Waterloo University’s 2021 Projects Review Exhibition

THETHEBILLOWS. BILLOWS. Waterloo University - Spring 2021 In Collaboration With: Amy Shin & Hannah Jaglarz Softwares Used: Rhino, Enscape, Illustrator & Photoshop Located along the waterfront of the popular Kitsilano beach in Vancouver BC, the billows are a gathering place for both the community and visitors. Under the canopy, local businesses can sell their goods, people can picnic and enjoy the views, and everyone can enjoy the beach even in the rain. The inspiration for the undulating morphology of the canopy shape was derived from the scenic Vancouver mountain line. Embracing the climatic identity of rainy Vancouver, the

minimal and elegant canopy allows the landscape to shine and to bring people together regardless of weather. The steel construction is in the AESS 4 category as most of the steel details are viewed from less than 6 meters.

The rounded surface of the columns and openings around the cable encourage the beach wind to easily pass through. The smooth finish coat and surface along with concealed connections reduce entrapment of sand and water.

OFF-GRID OFF-GRID VILLA. VILLA. Waterloo University - Spring 2021 In Collaboration with: Naya Sanchez Softwares Used: Rhino, Enscape, Illustrator & Photoshop Within the Chilliwack municipality, the Sunnyside villa becomes the peak of sustainable design on Cultus lake. During the climate crisis, water homes are becoming a reliable and Eco-friendly solution to rising sea levels.

Through strategies of several active systems, daylighting, shading, natural ventilation, and renewable energy, this construction is completely off-grid and provides a lowenergy sanctuary for the occupants. The building uses wood planks reused from old cottages located in the surrounding area, along with recycled steel members for the supports in the water.

With that, solar windows, railings and siding are installed to provide renewable energy and aesthetics to the façade. Therefore, the overall embodied carbon and energy consumption of the building is significantly reduced. In addition, a biophilic design approach has been used to better enhance user connectivity to the natural surroundings and promote a peaceful destination. This includes the garden wall that is irrigated through the grey water system, as well as the gardens on the lower deck that are used for growing food for the occupants.

THE THEBOOK BOOK CAVE. CAVE. Waterloo University - Spring 2021 Programs Used: Rhino, Enscape, Illustrator & Photoshop

Located in downtown Toronto, This library attracts people of different ages and interests like families, students, and employees by offering facilities like sewing studios, quiet reading rooms, inviting reading rooms, and children’s rooms.

The library aimed to enhance and appreciate the books by surrounding people with books stacks in every space they inhabit. A courtyard plan with book walls on both sides was implemented to achieve this goal. To further enhance the importance of books,

the outer book wall of the courtyard peaks out of the facade, which attracts people to enter the library and explore it. There was also an interest in spatial hierarchy and engaging the three floors together, which was achieved using double-height spaces. Lastly, The inner wall of the courtyard is the highlight of the library for people can engage with the books closely by climbing stairs and moving through the book walls into different rooms.
