THE FIREFLY PAVILION 1B BUILDING CONSTRUCTION (ARCH 173) + VISUAL COMMUNICATIONS (ARCH 113) FINAL PROJECT - CONSULTING PROFESSOR: Terri Boake + Mark Cichy

In collaboration with: Katherine Holbrook-Smith

An urban venue located on the Waterfront area of Vancouver, British Columbia, the Firefly Pavilion is designed to be in harmony with its metropolitan environment. Not only does the pavilion house a night market that caters to small local businesses, but also acts as a playhouse for up and coming artists, musicians, or other street performers to showcase their talent. The life and energy generated by the venue is an addition to the already exceptionally colorful district of downtown Vancouver.

Winner of the Steel Structures Educational Fund’s Architectural Competition Award of Merit (placing 2nd in Canada).

UWSA STUDENT HALL2A DESIGN STUDIO (ARCH 292) FINAL PROJECT - CONSULTING PROFESSOR: Ryszard Sliwka

Located at the heart of Downtown Galt, the University of Waterloo School of Architecture’s Student Hall is designed to provide the relocated students with the desired “university residence experience”. The open nature of the building also allows the student hall to become an entity that is very well connected to Cambridge and integrated with life around it. Overall, the Waterloo Architecture Student Hall becomes an iconic institue that in turn allows it to embody the aspiration and values of UWSA as a centre for advancement in architecture.

ANTRUM LUXINDEPENDENT PROJECT: ENTRY FOR THE 2012 INTERNATIONAL VELUX AWARD

By proposing a mega atrium that unites the office building into a single volume, an attempt is made to maximize daylight penetration throughout the entire building and utilize light harvesting to completely eliminate artificial lighting. Investigation is made into how the design interacts between the environmental and the aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability of the project. Analysis is also made in regards to take into account urban density of site context, and shadow placements of surrounding buildings.

Results Pending

An avid photographer with a particular interest in capturing the most honest of expressions, below is a collection of my work over the period of 2010-2011. Subjects vary from the streets of New York, to the blue waters of Vancouver, and finally to the street corners in rural Guatemala.
