1Our terminal project was to create a place where design and planning students could collaborate at the University of British Columbia.Image: Birdseye view of the McKenzie Quad. Mid-term presen-tation. Sketch-Up, Hand details, and Photoshop.

To encourage collaboration, my design used the building as a �exible container that ‘social build-ing blocks’ of di�erent scales could be plugged- in. These ‘blocks’ could be shifted to evolve with changing times and needs.
Minimize private, maximize collaborative.
Private nooks.
Formal meeting spaces.
Social spill-over circulation.
Flexible, creative gathering spaces.

UBC requested that the our designs be show-cases of sustainability. I focused primarily on eliminating the concept of waste, and on treat-ing what precious little water our world still possesses.

2When studying abroad in Vancouver, Canada, I took part in a Kinetic Architecture course. With collaborators Michael LeClere and Daniel Frey, we designed a retractable canopy for a commer-cial alley.

33In Kyoto, Japan, I worked with Peter Baker and Nick DiFrank on revitalizing the Omiya-Dori Dis-trict. Our design created a pedestrian corridor that utilized a pocket park system and exposed rainwa-ter channels to guide visitors. The pocket parks also acted as water treatment facilities.

4I have had the fortune of participating in the organization, designBridge, for about 3 years now. The project that I comanaged consisted of placing a rain-water catchment system at a local com-munity garden.
A new drainage system and educational materials about catchment were also created.

The resultant renderings are also tools to help raise funds.Image: ‘Nurturing Garden.’ Ink and pastel.
