WORK EXPERIENCETreasurerSeptember 2013 - April 2014; September 2014 - presentWaterloo Architecture Student Association (WASA)

Working with in- and out-of-house supervisors, I managed and updated the budget for every class and approved requests for spending and for reimbursement, helping our program to generate revenue and remain organised and efficient.

Architectural AssistantJuly - August 2013; May - August 2014Kirkor Architects and Planners

Using primarily AutoCAD and Adobe Photoshop and InDesign, I created, designed and updated floor plans, marketing and tender drawings and presentation boards for the firm partners and project managers. The work was used for the final presentations and submissions. I also received Revit training here, to give me the same skills as the other professionals at the firm.

ARTISTS’ RESIDENCES

RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT

INFRASTRUCTURAL HACKER’S GUIDE

ARTISTS’ RESIDENCESStudio I-ADecember 2013

OBJECTIVEChoose one of four sites on Taylor Lake (just outside of Cambridge, Ontario) and design a temporary residence for a visual artist, a composer or a writer. The space is not to have electric or built-in heating; allow room for a fireplace and consider passive heating strategies. The space is to be between 40 and 80 square metres.

The entire space was designed based on Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata because the site reflects the piece’s serenity. The studio space is the largest, mainly because this is a temporary residence (the artist would not be present during the winter months), but also to provide flexibility; any sort of composer could write music here. The door entire south wall of the studio opens to like a garage door to form acoustic panels and to allow the composer to perform for guests standing on the patio. The floor plan is based on a hierarchy, from most to least important (based on the temporality of the residence): music, relaxation and living. Each space becomes smaller and less accessible as it becomes less open.

Floor Plan; 1:50This floor plan was drafted by hand at a scale of 1:50. The rooms from left to right are: the studio, the living room/den, the kitchen, the bathroom and the bedroom. There is a porch in the front that connects the spaces.

In this project, the focus was centred around creating transitions between public and private spaces and around creating different buildings for different types of people. The focus was divided around 3 demographics (single people, couples and families) and five distinct, yet united, buildings were created to cater to each type. Each building is designed for a different demographic, with different units to provide the ability to choose the perfect home. The buildings are united visually by their roofs slanting to the inside of the pseudo-community and the coloured façade.

Buildings A and E are virtually the same, but Building E has a communal living room, whereas Building A does not. The living room that would be used by all the building’s tenants to allow them more personal space in their studio apartments for their sleeping and dining quarters. The dining areas were kept separate to allow people to have their own functions and parties if they so desired.

TRANSPORTATION ON THE GRAND CANAL IN VENICEFor centuries, Venetians have been using the canals as a means of transportation. Now, there is no road traffic in Venice; one could face a severe fine for being caught driving. There are five main classes of boats, and a different volume of each can be seen in each canal in the city, including the Grand Canal. The volumes of boat traffic are justified by their locations relative to vaporetti stops, major tourist attractions and shipping areas.

Studying boat traffic in Venice can help officials reduce what is called moto ondoso (wake pollution). Wood will not rot as long as it stays in the water, but because Venice was designed for the changing tides and not for the water level changes caused by boat wakes, the city’s wooden foundations have started to degrade. Knowing boat traffic patterns, especially around the Grand Canal because it is the most widely used, can help officials determine appropriate restrictions based on the volumes of boats in various areas.

For this research assignment, the transportation methods of each boat class (mercantile, public transport, personal, service and gondolas) along the Grand Canal in Venice were researched and their transportation routes based on the locations of popular tourist destinations, bus stops and main shipping ports were charted.
