ILLUMINOUS

bd studio Spring 2014

For the Pulp: Paper Art Party 2014, large woven screens, made from strips of recycled paper, were hung from the balcony to the floor to create an intimate space.

For this project, we developed an original folding and weaving method for the paper, where no mechanical fasteners were required. Parametric design was utilized to create an original weaving pattern for each screen. The screens were lit by a projection mapped video.

The project won the artist’s choice award. It was also displayed at Artscape Youngplace and as part of the Summer Solstice Festival in Toronto.

METHOD: Weave strips of paper into large screens for a projection mapped video installation

HOUSE OF CARD

bd studio Summer 2014

As part of Card-Yard, which is run by the group Pulp: Reclaimed Materials, we designed a pavilion to house board games, organized by Snakes and Lattes, at the Big on Bloor Festival in Toronto.

Using recycled cardboard, modular components were designed and built in a manner that allowed them to be collapsed or disassembled for easy transportation. The pavilion was installed on site for the two-day event and recycled at the end.

Limited to found cardboard, hand-cutting and one month construction, this project became a lesson in the challenges of realizing a design.

GOAL: Create Illusion

METHOD: Create a walk-through illusionary experience consisting of a mirrored infinity room and social media interaction

Team: Brock Lumsden, Paul Chilton, John B. Webster

Winter 2015

As part of BLD’s proposal for a fun house style attraction in the Grand Court of Metropolis At Metrotown mall in Burnaby, BC, the design developed into a walk-through experience consisting of a mirrored infinity room. The experience combines the mirror illusion with the guests’ social media photos being reflected into the space.

As part of the design team, I worked on this project from the initial proposal until the start of the construction document phase. BLD worked with the client to iterate the design, focusing on the idea of creating optical illusions. Research and testing into a range of materials, including mirrors and lights was required to achieve the intended design aesthetic while ensuring durable construction.

Social Soul

The second half of the experience starts when the guest reaches about halfway through the room. Monitors that are mounted on the back of the one way mirrored walls turn on and display images from the guest’s social media account.

GOAL: Explore Parametric Design

METHOD: Use parametric design to create a variety of spaces that form a hammock for overnight hikers

Team: Chelsea Qiu

Fall 2013

Sway offers multi-day hikers a unique shelter that interacts with the forest. The crocheted hammock-like structure changes its form based on the movement of the occupants and swaying of the trees. By controlling the type of crochet pattern, various amounts of sagging can be achieved to suit the needs of the different programs.

Parametric design is used to select trees, that are a certain distance from each other on the site and form a geometric shape for the hammock. It is also used to explore the various forms the net can take when different crochet methods are implemented.

ATHRU: THEATRICAL PROJECTION

Cultural History Summer 2012

Every year the second year Cultural History class creates and performs a play. The 2012 play, Athru, was staged outdoors at Taylor Lake in Cambridge, ON.

Influenced by the projection shows by Disney and Jaume Plensa, I had the idea to film and project a dream scene onto a screen of water mist. Small scale experiments were done with a standard office projector and a garden hose. For the play, a more powerful projector was used along with a pressure washer to produce a consistent water screen. The result was a 13 foot tall ghostly projection.

METHOD: Create a water mist screen for the projection of a dream scene in a play
