S O N

I am a second-year student at the University of Waterloo School of Architecture. I am a self-driven student with a strong ambition to explore the profundity and the “soul� of living architecture.

I believe that architecture is alive- it breathes, respires, moves and grows.

I aspire to push the limits of architecture to bring an exclusive sensation to the individuals, emotionally and physically.

I am willing to get out of my comfort zone and push myself beyond my goals to outgrow myself as an architect and a designer. I am constantly seeking new experiences and knowledge, and I am more than excited to pursue these passions through my education and co-op opportunities.

This is a collection of my ideas and explorations that reflects my architectural worldview. Enjoy.

transparency of both the traditional library area and the textile studio from the interior and exterior. The textile studio floats right above the info- desk, connected by the glass hallway that can be accessed directly from the bridge behind the building. The pedestrians are able to look through the openings of the facade and see both spaces under the double-height ceiling.

United Library intends to use the double-height ceiling and wall to display the textile arts, acting as a gallery to decorate the interior space as well as to promote young artists from the local.

M SARC RESEARCH CENTRE Markhu Lake, Nepal

1B Environmental Building Design Date: 04/19 Tools: HEED, Rhino+Vray, Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Site Research With: Marc Eugenio

M Sarc Research Facility is located on the North- West Bank of Markhu Lake in Nepal. The facility researches the fauna of the Lake Markhu throughout the year. Thus, the facility caters to all of the researchers’ needs on site. The design focuses on natural cooling and heating strategies as well as a dehumidifying cooling system to meet the comfort zone and to withstand the hot- humid climate of Nepal.

M Sarc Research Centre has 17% Net Energy using the PV- System and rainwater collecting system to reduce the use of energy while generating it. Because of the extreme humidity, the design maximized the advantage of the cross ventilation method by using ceiling fans and north- easterly prevailing wind to keep the relative humidity at a comfortable level .

PV System and Water Collection Diagram

10 PV solar panels are installed on the roof, facing south-west.

The electricity generated powers the lights, electronics, fridge and the ceiling fans. Rainwater is collected through the roof down the drainage pipe to be stored and purified in the rain water tank. This is used for drinking and toilet flushing.

Cross Ventilation Diagram Cross natural ventilation is provided with the doors and window openings are places on the opposite sides of the building with large openings facing the North-easterly prevailing wind.

Ceiling fans can make the building at least 2.8 degrees which further ventilate and cool down the building.

IDEA STORE WHITECHAPEL Case Study

Whitechapel Road, London 1B Design Studio- Case Study Date: 12/18 Tools: Rhino, Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Research, Diagrammatic Analysis With: Marc Eugenio, Yoon Hur

Idea Store Whitechapel is a 5- storey educational community centre, located on Whitechapel Road in London. The centre provides a large scale of learning resources and activities for a variety of user groups. The purpose of the Idea Store is to bring the traditional use of the library into the community: being presented together with the combination of educational, community and public space on each floor with various programmes within.

The transparent screen of the green and blue striped panels captures the vibrant, and rich community of the market stalls. The panels also reflect colourful ray directly onto the street and the market. The suspended front facade cantilevers over the main street, creating an open atrium that offers its own shelters to the shoppers and the pedestrians in the street market. This suspended facade shelters the escalator leading to the second and third-floor entrances, straight up from the sidewalk, enclosing the space as it rises. It also allows for open ventilation as well as natural sunlight provided by the transparent glazing of the panels. Each of the floors offers a different atmosphere with the different learning spaces for different users and age groups, a dance studio, and lounge areas. Various routes (stairs, elevators, and escalators) are provided to access these spaces.

NAEMO HOUSE 38 Wellington St, Cambridge, ON 1A Design Studio Date: 04/18 Tools: Hand- Drafting, Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Physical Model Making, Typography Research

Naemo House is located on a steep hill on 38 Wellington Street, Cambridge, facing the Cambridge City Hall. It is specifically designed for 2 occupants: the textile artist and printmaker. Naemo House has 3 main spaces, private studio space, living area, and the gallery. The three entrances use the typography of the site which allows the house to circulate evenly. The living room can be accessed directly from the back of the house, facing Wellington Street, and from the balcony down the hill. The underground entrance pathway leads the public audiences directly from the parking lot of Cambridge City Hall into the double-height gallery space with skylights. The small balcony on the second floor, looking down at the gallery, can only be accessed by the occupants of the house through the living room. The studio spaces are located on the under-ground level floor (first floor) to reduce the natural light, as both occupants use textiles, which can fade by the sunlight.

THE MISSION RING Moonlight State Beach, CA

Canadian Institute of Steel Design Competition Date: 04/19 Tools: Rhino+Vray, Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign With: Drew Jackson

Sitting on the hillside of Moonlight Beach California, the Mission Ring serves as a pavilion and lookout point over the Pacific. The doughnut-like structure, comprising of 43 internal support rings, leans at a 30-degree angle, allowing the two staircases to be easily climbed. The space between the support rings is housed by a lattice of steel tubes, further improving the structure’s integrity, as well as providing a safety net below the staircase. The top platform, at five meters wide and 7 meters long, provides ample room for visitors, as well as a full panoramic view of the ocean. The Mission Ring serves as a place for the experience; the small perforations between the tubes obstruct the view while still letting ample light enter, making the scene at the top completely worth the climb.
