Although a portfolio at first glance, this collection of works is an exhibition through the narrative and conceptual development of my understanding of lines in relation to design.
WHAT IS THE POINT?
TORONTO UNION STATION-HONG KONG
GRAPHIC STUDY OF URBAN SYSTEMS
REFLECTION
a higher understanding in the the roles interiors enforce and researching new ideas about speculative representation.
CONCEPT
What is the point? is a tri-part delivery of the following concept:
Everyday we walk a path to get to our desired destinations yet never acknowledge the spaces of transition. Toronto’s, Union Station is at the epicenter of relocating people from their own realities to the context of their place of work, study, or play. In this project, the graphic culminates a study of city systems. Emphasis is put on the tension between the rationality of transportation infrastructure and our role as the human kind among humans. Nihilist and existentialist natures are revealed. What is the point? What can be revealed through further inspection? Through this project and thorough process, a question of what this project implies for the philosophical nature of what architecture’s role in creating its user’s identity within.

conceptual sketches that explore an understanding of disruption through light and circulatory movement. abstract forms helped generate ideas of graphical representation of movement and line layering.
MODULE
LIGHT OBJECT DESIGN AND FABRICATION
REFLECTION
understanding the intimacy of light through a streamlined and fabricated form.
CONCEPT
Module is an exploration of industrialization in the domestic or more intimate spaces through creating a mass producible, interlocking object. The object harnesses the tactility of its form to create intimate thresholds in the glow of its light.
Exploration in photography, fabrication and graphical representation skills in order to sell the atmosphere along with the product.

SPLIT LANEWAY
HOUSE
54 ARGYLE STREET, TRINITY BELLWOODS TORONTO
REFLECTION
creation of atmosphere through lighting and programming with light cutting through spaces.
CONCEPT
The Split house captures the ideas of light circulation, sightlines and flexibility. Through the consideration of light, how small spaces can be oriented, curating sightlines for a comfortable space to reside in, the culmination of these ideas results in a harmony the organization of space. A major feature of this space is the twostory spanning window that receives the majority of daily light, which creates one of many moments within this space to enjoy. The organization of this space takes advantage of spatial dynamics of leading into a larger space as well as dividing the private and personal areas.

RENEWAL
MULTI-USE MOTEL REDESIGN
215 GARRISON RD, FORT ERIE, ON L2A 1M6
REFLECTION
understanding the power of creating a conceptual system to generate a spatial program.
CONCEPT
The redesign focuses on the experience of renewal or rebirth. No matter the need, the space provides a safe place for opportunities, communal support and connection. Renewal in this space can include a place to rest and sleep after travels, a space to re-build one’s life and a place start fresh. the meandering circulation and wall system, using a curvature that aided in programing. the pattern considers the need for public spaces to balance privacy for daily life. Private spaces will focus more on lighting to highlight the intrigue of the wall system.
final concept drawing of pattern collage
drawn motifs that were then processed with patterns and then generated into 3D forms to inspect and derive the interesting iterations. iterations were refined and the final layout was decided.

The two parts culminate an understanding of the space. The model is a visualization of the central aspect of the omo sebua, or chieftan’s home. As it is a main gathering place and is also connected to other villager dwellings, the acrylic layers represent the pathways while the etched wood represent the visible and major circulatory system.
The graphic culminates an structural study and rationalization of the research through a sectional perspective.
