Body.Object.Space

“constructed volume - design an intimate form - emphasizing volume - for the specific space provided in studio: the corner - the form must be dependent on the corner - on its construction and/or material relationships. Consider it an interior space and architectural installation. What is a corner? What elements are required to define it (spatial and mass)? Consider what an architectural installation is? The body is an essential part of the process.”Excerpt from brief, Instructor Deb Scott

An intimate relationship is created between the form and where the wall planes meet. The corner offers a place of solitude and privacy which is enhanced by the form’s mass. The overall form has a simplicity, offered through its organic, curved shape and intrinsic material quality. Contrast also plays a dominant role as the visual and physical mass contrasts the empty void that is the corner, while the form’s multiple lines create a visual texture contrasting the strong vertical line that defines the corner.

Both the organic shape and mass provide an opportunity for a void to be carved out of the backside, allowing the otherwise sculptural form to become a chair. This creates an enclosed, solitary place to escape while protected by the corner.

Corner: (noun) 1 a place of confinement and solitude.

Through the reiteration process, of making sketch models from modeling clay, new forms began to be explored.

Stay.

Inside the Box

The Project was to start the design process by researching the parameters involved in transforming shipping containers into habitable space. Then propose a programme and specific site to use as the context for the project. A space was then to be designed, which meets all the programmatic requirements, from shipping containers. As the planning and design process were done successively, not simultaneously, it was important to ensure consistency between the concept, programme and design.

STAY. CREATE. EXHIBIT. This is the slogan that defines the program for Stay; a hostel designed for both local and travelling artists. Conveniently located in the Winnipeg’s Exchange District, Stay offers economical accommodations along with an on site studio and gallery allowing guests the opportunity to continually express their creativity.

The interior is designed around the concept ‘Blank Canvas’, encompassing the idea of an empty mind. This concept allows artists to come into the space with an open mind without the space interfering or influencing their creativity. Texture was used throughout the space to create interest, such as concrete floors and 3D wall panels, while color was introduced through fabric and accents, allowing it to be flexible and interchangeable.

Alternate spatial plans were explored, using the modular nature of the shipping containers, to determine the most efficient configuration of the shipping containers, while ensuring all programming requirements were met.

The containers on the second to fourth floor sit perpendicular to that of the first floor, allowing large 8’ x 8’ glazing walls to sit pronounced along the north facade, acting as features in the guestrooms. The

buildings front (east) facade if made entirely of glazing, maximizing the opportunity for natural light, allowing the 3D panel walls to be highlighted with shadows and providing ideal lighting conditions in the studio.

A comfortable, and social Hostel for travelling artists. Welcoming all genre’s of artists, as well as the general public when space is available. Conveniently located in the heart of Winnipeg, central to the cities large art culture, the hostel will benefit from the cities large art community by providing affordable accommodations.

The hostel offers a communal studio to all its guests. This will allow all artists the ability to continue creating, whether if for work or personal enjoyment, during their stay. Ensuring that all guest have the opportunity to continually express their creativity, even while travelling.

Along with a studio, the hostel offers a gallery space. Open to all artists who wish to exhibit their pieces during their stay or leave a piece behind. The gallery is also open to the general -=public.

Grind.

2.1 - 2.2 Mixed Use

The project was to program and design a multi-use space, operating a cafe or coffee shop. It was to utilize approximately 50% of 319 Elgin Ave, a brick warehouse building built in 1914. Thoughtful consideration to program, traffic patterns, vertical circulation and concept were critical.

Grind is a cafe, serving specialty coffees and offering a small menu, through take-out or dine-in service. The cafe caters primarily to locals as well as the staff and students of Red River College. Programmatic considerations included a kitchen and coffee bar, waiting area for take-out orders, a variety of seating areas staff areas, and washrooms. The design focuses on sensory engagement. This is achieved through textured surfaces, acoustic controls, and visual stimulation in addition to the cafes rich aromas and flavors produced by the cafe.

Public spaces with in Grind are comprised of open volumes, textured, raw materials and dark, cool colors; used to create visual interest enticing visitors to linger and explore the space. Grind’s main floor is brightly lit, has 14’ ceilings featuring upholstered baffles to help with acoustic control, wall to ceiling acoustic panels covered in graphic upholstery and a feature wall collaged from old reclaimed wood. The remaining, more private, floors offer softer lighting, 10’ ceilings, also with baffles. Partitions of horizontal wood planks add extra privacy at washrooms and define quiet seating areas.

Satellite.

Product Catalogue Collection

The Project was to create a freestanding form that both represents the Product Catalogue Collection (PCC), a material resource library serving the Faculty of Architecture, and creates a visual stimulus to entice visitors to the PCC. The form was to be a collaboration of all three unique perspectives, while keeping a consistency with the other Studio teams pieces and forms. The form was to be portable; therefore scale, weight, and portability are important considerations. Group Project with Sean Dueck and Helen Wiens

The concept revolves around the notion of connectivity. Connectivity encompasses community and networking. Creating a community is an integral part of design as it brings together different disciplines and facets of the design world. Networking represents technology and information sharing.

The satellite becomes a visual, three-dimensional representation of the PCC. It’s intention is to attract interest through form and, in consequence, promote the PCC. Its form mimics the outline of the PCC’s newly designed logo with its key elements, repetition and line, supporting the overall design. The repetition of the pieces also helps draw the eye around the form, finding relief at the corner, were the form terminates, meeting the floor.

No power is required for the user to engage with the form, making it versatile and simple. The form is comprised of three pieces; a base and two arches that retract with a sliding mechanism, for ease of transport.

The group decided to adapt Sean Dueck’s form. A half scale model was created by the team to begin to understand the mechanics would be required to allow portability, as well as

finding a solution to the cantilevering weight.

Sketch models were created by each group member, Helen Wiens, Sean Dueck and myself, above respectively, to help demonstrate our ideas to the group. As we all felt our ideas to be the strongest, building models helped to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of each form; as all kept with true to the original concept, the form to

continue with was chosen based on ease of assembly, portability and weight restrictions.

Renee Struthers and Chamray MacDonald, Students of ID Studio 4.2, designed a new logo for the PCC. The satellite’s form mimics that of the logos shape.

A cutting template created with Autocad, produced by Sean Dueck and I. The template was used to laser cut final pieces.

Each group member, myself, Sean Dueck and Helen Wiens respectively (top to bottom), explored different retracting methods, at full scale.
