Nexus
PREFACE
A NEXUS is a central link or connection. These collection of works exhibits artistic expression that bond with architectural design. My goal as an architect and designer is to establish this connection during the initial conceptual stages of design to the final stages of production; in order to facilitate the inter-disciplinary of various artistic fields (i.e. stage design, performing arts, classical and contemporary art etc.). I would like to foster these practices to future projects in the field of Entertainment Architecture.
The cover of this portfolio is an analysis sketch of the modern techniques of lighting and stage design of John Neumeier’s “The Little Mermaid Ballet’ performed by San Francisco Ballet.

ARCH 303 Design and Construction 1 Project Location: Le Sud Ouest (Corner of Monk and St-Patrick Street)
Area of Site: 3,780 sqmArea of Building: 700.2 sqm
Program: Community Rowing Center
The goal for the Community Rowing Center located in Sud-Ouest, Montreal, is to bridge the gap between the communty’s cultural heritage and future re-development plans undertaken by the city of Montreal (i.e. Har-bourfront Vision of 2025). The facility will pertain to both recreational rowers and the public as there will be optimal space and program. Recreational rowers will have the opportunity to practice his/her sport led by on-site certified coaches, along with opportunities to use the communal fitness center for land training and warm-up sessions. Boat storage, boat maintenance/repair, and a boat rental program will be included on the facility. The general public will enjoy interior spaces such as a communal living room, a café, multi-use rooms, and a communal fitness center. Outdoor spaces include optimal bike and pedestrian paths that will line the perimeter of the site leading to the loading docks on Lachine Canal. In addition, a unique urban green park and entertainment space or theatre will be designed in the courtyard at the rear of the building. This will serve as a hub space for family gatherings, entertainment, cultural festivals, and recreation year round. The primary mission of this development is to connect the distinct neighbourhoods of the Sud-Ouest burrough via the Lachine Canal once again.
The shard concept representing the different communities and its demographics including the Irish, African American, and French Canadians, can be found on the heavy timber “floating” canopy roof. The use of strategic views will evoke emotions from the historical elements such as the Lachine canal, agriculture, industries, and the railroad. The natural flow from the exterior to the interior, materials (wood and concrete), shapes, and natural lighting used will effectively serve the spaces and encourage communication. The building is non-imposing and non-monumental in order to emphasize the importance on the people and their activities including sledding, skateboarding, skating, music, gardening, and theatre. The building interior evokes spontaneous interactions and conversations, where the building is in harmony with the canal through communal pathways and dock.

The PoP-Up Shelter is meant as a widespread solution to homelessness. Inspired by Tokyo’s homeless who reside in refrigerator boxes, our vision is to bridge the gap between design and humanity by raising awareness of the homeless issue, while inspiring collaboration toward the cause of alleviating homelessness.
The PoP-Up Shelter is designed to serve as a transitional shelter that provides a portable, private, comfortable, and inspiring structure for the homeless until a permanent home is found. It is constructed using simple cardboard and steel bolts that allow for economical and recyclable efficiency. It is light-weight and easily portable for ease of transport. In addition to the material-ity, the structure, mechanics, and the design is an adaption of the ancient Japanese art of paper folding; Origami, and the mechanics of the Chinese hand-held fan.
The advantage of implementing the PoP-Up Shelter as a solution to homelessness is that the units fold open while in use and can fold down to a fraction of its size for ease of transport. Each PoP-Up Shelter can house one to two people and it folds and erects in less than a minute with no assembly required. Once the shelter is damaged beyond use, its materials can entirely be recycled.
Apart from use by the homeless, the functional and structural applications of the PoP-Up Shelter can be used at a larger sclae a unit deployed to provide disaster relief. The portability of the structure is used as an advantage for serving humanitarian and disaster aid.
The PoP-Up Shelter is meant as a widespread solution to homelessness. Until society works out a larger solution, widespread homelessness isn’t going away anytime soon. Ideas are needed to improve the living conditions of people right not, at the present time.

Upon simplifying the divisions of a mosaic wall, a geometric planar grid was obtained. Further division of each square of the grid, resulted in a triangular pattern. In keeping the planar pattern without the need to seperate the divisions from another; each edge of the divisions were related to its adjacent division and so on, in keeping with the form and pragmatics of the mosaic grid. This resulted in looking at various ways in folding the planar pattern in a unique way to create a three-dimensional object. Thus a precedent study of the Japanese art of paper folding - origami.
Studying various modular origami which uses two or more sheets of paper to create a larger and more complex structure that would not be possible using single-piece origami techniques. Particularly, studying the pragmatics of the origami magic ball or kusudama - studying its folding pattern and how they assemble and interact with each element to create a three-dimensional sphere. The basic folding pattern is folding the paper into grids, then dividing each grid by folding diagonals, giving rise to form two different triangular shapes. These adjacent points squares on the grid are also folded the same way, however when constructing the sphere, the edge fold of the adjacent square meets with the middle fold with the other grid. After conducting two types of folds with adjacent pairs of grids, the plane is folded in a modular way and then manipulated to form a sphere.
Firstly. in order to develop the script, two goals needed to be met in order to achieve a successful shape 1) the ability in dividing and folding a planar surface, and 2) mophing this surface onto a spere. Secondly. in creating a successful end product, it was also needed to identify two key parameters that would create a visible variation in shape, form, and representation. Thus the two parameters chosen were: 1) the degree of the folded plane (in relation to the dimen-sions of the divisions) and 2) the amount of divisions per area of the sphere. These parameters along with the two goals is the underlying organization of the scripting developmental process. Furthermore, these aspects all in keep with the initial mosaic wall ornament.

Floor Area: 6,116 sqmNumber of Units: 200 units
Number of Parking Spaces: 155 spaces Program: Residential Apartment Complex
Located on the corner of Rue St-Catherine and Boulevard Maisoneuve, this site is close proximity to main amenities in Montreal, such as Station Ven-dome Metro, and the recently built MUHC Super Hospital. Thus, this location is strictly bounded by constant vehicle, public transit, and pedestrian circulation. This urban context and its seemingly direct relationship with the neighbouring Hospital Centers drew inspiration on how we wanted to shape the future residents’ experience. Questions arose such as what do they want to feel coming home after a long day? Do they want to interact with other resi-dents? Can an “organic” form in the complex design achieve a sense of calm by the individual? Do architecture design strategies that exhibit sustainability and bringing one closer to the natural environment change an individual’s perspective on the world and thus achieving a more peaceful state of mind.
Wanting to exhibit “bio-mimicry” design tactics, we drew inspiration from termite farms - specifically how they interact with the external environment and how they create their internal own environment - from outside a shell (i.e. our urban context); in contrast to the thriving interior (i.e. our design program). Upon examining the different aspects that make up their home, they prosper by creating spaces where they grow their own food, nurse their young, and allow for passive ventilation to occur naturally. Interestingly, no matter the weather is as humid as the Amazon rainforest or as arid as the sahara desert, termites construct their home so delicately that it grows food, defends the preyers and keeps the internal hierarchy at the same time. Moreover, the termites defends whatever comes along as a family and it is this wholeness of termites makes them one of the most successful creatures in the world.
These features in their homes allowed us to create spaces of similar function, location, and even form - creating a heirarchy of spaces as seen in the termite tunnel. Furthermore, another key aspect on our design are the systems of circulation; specifically the horizontal and vertical. Horizontal circulation is achieved by each level of units, however vertical circulation is achieved through a ramping system where residents have access to each level in addition to the main elevators. This main feature serves many functions, physically for getting to point A to B, but also serves as a space of memories and generations; where residents can place works of art along the spacious ramp, and in turn create a space which represents time moving forward.
This ramping system flows in a circular pattern, where one exits and enters but not necessarily leaving at the exact same spot where they began - repre-senting human’s circle of life and generation. It rises at an incline with every circular flow, moving forward (i.e. such as time) and reaching a converging apex at the top, where it figuratively meets with the termite farm - the second key feature in our design. Thus, overall, as humans move forward from generation to generation, we have now come full circle with nature (ie. our starting point), where sustainable designs are our future and is key for us to fully prosper. Our sustainable design not only is derived from net-zero techniques, but also uses nature as a prime example of how we live, interchange, and create a dwelling - thus merging “biomimicry” and “sustainability” in creating a new innovation of “green” design.

Research Project: “The Architecture for Constructivist Teaching and Learning:
Designing a Model Learning Space for a New School” Master of Arts in Teaching and Learning Program (MATL)
McGill University } Montreal, Canada
This school design proposal was based upon recent architectural research on the spacial and environmental factors affecting student and teacher experience. Design aspects include; bringing Elementary and High School Grade Levels to one campus, more spacious classrooms and hallways, and communal spaces for interactions between grade levels. Separate campus buildings house Elementary classrooms, High School classrooms, administrative offices, gymnasium, and a student cafe and lounge. Campus buildings are then connected by green spaces for lounging, interacting, circulation, and activities.
