PERFORMANCE HALLS ON FALSE CREEK

PROJECT DETAILS

LOCATIONNortheast Shore of False Creek in Vancouver, British Colombia

BUILDING TYPEPublic performance arts complex

CONTENTS1 Large 2000 seat theater2 Smaller 750 seat theatersRestaurant, bar and loungeWaterfront boardwalkAmple green spaces

GOALS

To design a large performance arts complex to house three stages and to accommodate 3500 guests. The existing site lies in the middle of Vancouvers Olympic Village. Neighboring buildings include BC Place Stadium, Rogers Arena and The World of Science at TELUS. The problem was the site itself served as a massive and functionless divider between the various pieces of the Olympic Village, and detracted heavily from the cohesiveness and beauty of the public realm.

The goal was shape the form of the building and public spaces of the site to maximize the pedestrian experience as well as provide a highly functional space to accommadate large, show attending, crowds.

BURKE PARK DESIGN/BUILD

PROJECT DETAILS

LOCATIONBurke Park, Boulder CO

PROJECT TYPEPark master planning with a built outdoor classroom and gathering space

CONTENTSMultifunctional deck/gathering spaceLarge grassy berms Concrete seat walls Native planting schemes to represent local biomes.

GOALS

Our team was commisioned by the City of Boulder Parks Department to design and build additions to a large park in Boulder, CO. The users of the park include a large senior living facility, manhattan middle school children and the community living in the surrounding suburbs. It was essential to create a highly inclusive, and diverse park design to accommodate the needs of as many users as possible. The scope of the project incorporated a 3 phase masterplan, to include 5 unique strands, which direct circulation to a central gathering space from various points in the park. Build phase one included the construction of the central gathering space, vairous large grassy berms, and a series of connected mini-biomes, which mimick the major biomes that are found linking the mountains to the plains.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONSFor the Following instructions Pieces from each row areidentical and each row attaches directly to its adjacent row. Row 1 is the top most r ow and R ow 17 is t he bottom most row.

Repeat until each piece from row 1 and 2 is used.Then begin by connecting the tabs of row 2 to theinserts of row three until each row has been connected

1. Begin by slotting insert A through tab slot B andinsert C through tab slot D Starting with a piece fromrow one and row 2.

DIGITALLY FABRICATED PAPER LAMP

PROJECT DETAILS

PROJECT TYPEParametric paper lamp

CONTENTS1 Laminated plywood base1 Toggle switch6ft Cord150# 20x30in colored paperStandard 60W incandescent light bulb

GOALS

To create a light source that is digitally modeled and fabricated from a flat material, equal to the size of the maximum capable range of the laser cutter. It was important to maximize the material efficiency of the product and to have nearly zero waste. The aesthetic goal was to use the functional perforations which allow the lamp to be easily assemblable, to also allow for unique lighting patterns to pass through the parametric shade.
