CVC U R R I C U L U M V I T A EMEHello! My name is Josephine Hok Yun Ho but people call me Jo!

For the written description of who I am, please refer to the text below! Otherwise, the picture friendly version of who I am can be found throughout the bottom of this spread!

I am a chinese born Canadian and I grew up in a typical chinese home in Calgary. This involved achieving high grades in school and exceling in extracurricular activities such as piano and art. I had always enjoyed art and

music growing up, but it was unfortunately never the forefront of my studies. Inevitably, when time came to choose between the art and the sciences for university, I went for the sciences.

I began my university journey in the bioinformatics health sciences program in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Calgary. In a short amount of time, I discovered that spending countless hours in labs and

proving mathematical formulas was not what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Within one year I switched gears and pursued what I should have initially pursued, the arts. I continued my studies into art education and

throughout my undergraduate degree I traveled to Europe, China and Japan to experience art and culture. It greatly expanded my sheltered frame of thinking and proded my curiousity beyond the walls of the art

education. I felt that I was meant to be more than just an art teacher. I wanted to do something that could root my ideas in art and design into a greater entity of physical and conceptual parameters within the context

of a place. Once again I followed my instinct and applied for the minor in architecture and shortly after, the Masters in Architecture at the University of Calgary. I spent a semester abroad in Spain and once again, my life and design ideas were expanded beyond what I had learned in Canada. There I learned how design and culture

were two forces, continuously in play and in tension, shaping the physical and social personality of a city.

After a strennuous four year degree in architecture, I emerged from the sleepless, coffee ridden studio, excited to finally begin the path to becoming an architect! Like all fresh graduates, it was incredibly difficult

to find a job with zero experience. As luck would have it, I landed a job at BKDI Architects. Within six months I became completely consumed with work and quickly became a workaholic; a world full late nights, no social life, no sleep and no personality. I immediately set healthy boundaries at work and spent more time focusing

on personal health. I began rock climbing and biking, and returned to drawing.

After two years of working at BKDI Architects and developing a healthy balance between work and life, I have decided to follow another instinct; to live and explore a new city while simultaneously expanding my

architectural career. I believe that architecture cannot be a predictable and calculated equation within the experiential confinement of a single city. Experiencing how people and culture directly influence the

development of a city has been key to expanding the way I perceive and perpetuate design. It is from this belief that I wish to further my love for art and architecture in the city of Vancouver!

MY SKETCHBOOK (MADRID)

Auburn Bay Phase 39 is a 106 unit multi-residential development in the southeast end of Calgary. The unique quality to these townhomes is the split level between the front entrances and back garages. The fronts of two buildings are always facing

each other to allow for a 14m landscaping buffer. This level is a full floor above the garage entrances, which also face other garage entrances. The result is a separate road access for cars from pedestrian traffic, creating a friendly environment for

residents and visitors away from vehicular traffic. The layout and orientation of the buildings is attributed to the unique site shape and surrounding major roads. An emphasis on facing building frontage towards all major streets was maintained,

which created an island of townhomes in the middle of the site. This created an opportunity to develop an open green area, not only for the residents to use, but allow for the initial entrance onto the site to feel less claustrophobic from the density

of buildings.The scale of the buildings are also visually reduced by utilising variations in colors, material and roof detailing, which were dictated by a specific layout of floor plan types. As a result, each building has its individual look and together

they create a development that is spatially and visually dynamic. This project will begin construction in October.

Bridgeland McDougall is an infill project located in the vibrant neighborhood of Bridgeland, directly northeast of the downtown core. Bridgeland has become a popular neighborhood for demolishing aged homes and consolidating land into multi-residential townhomes. This project is no exception. This 18 unit development had some design challenges that included restrictive site dimensions, limited landscaping, shallow ground depth for servicing, and one street elevation facing a lane. The resulting building form are two buildings with individual balconies, clad with brick and Hardie panel and accented with private landscaping features and patios. The roof is mainly a pitched roof to keep in context with the 130 year old community, but introduces a modern touch with flat sloped roofs accented with each unit. The variation in building material and pitched/flat roof keeps the scale of the multi-residential townhomes to a minimum, preserving the single storey living that is characteristic of Bridgeland. This project is currently under construction.

First Choice Calgary Savings is a local financial institution with a focus on community and its distinguished service to their customers.This concept was a primary factor when the conceptual two storey building with a second floor

mezzanine was proposed. The project is situated on the corner of the heavily traveled 16th Ave (Trans Canada Highway) and 4th Street NW. The building location and the company’s commitment to community played a large

role in dictating the architectural language of the financial institution. The facade fronting 16th Ave is clad with glass and accented with colored glass to signify the entrance. The colored glass was chosen to mimic the prairie fields from space. This feature is accented by a stone wall and finished with an aluminum canopy. The south and

west sides of the building are the inner workings of the bank and face the residential area behind the building. Punch windows were chosen rather than the curtain wall to reduce the proportion of the building and eliminate

the look of a corporate business. With a 3m setback from the street, street furniture and landscaping are incorporated to allow for friendly pedestrian circulation and softens the building’s presence on the street.

FINANCIALINSTITUTIONS

SITE PLANSITE SECTION

First Choice Savings Credit Union is a local financial institution in Lethbridge, Alberta. Similar to First Calgary Financial, 1st Choice Savings has a commitment to its service to the community. The proposed building is the third pad building for this company. A new building typology was a main driver in developing this branch since their first building was entirely brick and their second building was entirely metal panel. The building is situated in a larger retail development site and therefore had to fit within its context, but had to stand out from its fellow competitors next door. The proposed building became a single storey pad building with an elevated, slanted roof component at the entrance, and a slanted roof clerestory in the middle of the bank. The slanted design feature was carried thru to the drive through on the back side of the building where a floating drive through canopy is supported by a slanted signage feature, which faces University Drive. The building is clad with both brick (around the punch window areas) and then metal panel for the slanted roof features. Full floor to ceiling windows and punch windows are playfully used to accent certain room functions. This project will begin construction early 2014.

MIXED-USEDEVELOPMENT

SITE PLAN

DIANO LANDSDiano Lands is a mixed use development in the southwest side of Calgary along 85th Avenue SW and 8A Street SW. It is the second phase to the West 85th West Springs mixed use development.This area of Calgary is rapidly expanding with retail, office, and single and multi-residential living. This particular development features four buildings, each with mixed uses including a financial institution, day care, restaurants, retail spaces, and 2 storey building for office space. The site organization allows traffic to flow directly from the church north of the south, through the Diano Lands’ development, and into West 85th. To the east of the site is a designated mult-residential area. A green space along the entire west property and setback line provides a buffer space for the future residents from commercial traffic. Diano Lands is the second phase north to the West 85th development that shares the 8A Street SW. While the same colour palette, mezzanine features, and high quality materials are transferred from West 85th, Diano Lands distinguishes itself by utilising more glass and variations with the 6m bay arches and stone wall features. Glass “lantern” features were strategically placed on select buildings to act as way finders in the site. Along with the mezzanine features in Buildings 2 and 3, these glass lanterns provide another design feature in the elevations, allowing for a dynamic look, personalized for each building. Another defining feature to Diano Lands is the plaza feature that faces 85th Street. A restaurant has been strategically placed on the west end of Building 3 with a patio that extends into the plaza feature. This allows the north west corner of the site to become activated with pedestrian traffic and allows the passerby an opportunity to see human activity and also a visual through the site to the future residential development to the east. Diversity in building uses, zoning, and architectural features allows this development to become a richer experience for any user.

LITERATURE

SENSORY MAPPING

PROJECT: Spatial rhythm of the senses is an urban project grounded on the street of Avinguda de Roma in Barcelona, Spain. Its genesis came from studying the unique residual geometries that

are a consequence of Cerda’s grid and his prioritization of circulation routes throughout the city. The geometries became the focus for synthesizing sensoral rhythms that are unique to the spatial

qualities of Barcelona.

A PROJECT COLLABORATION WITH MADYSON MCKAY AND BRETT OSNESS

CONCEPT + FORM: The sensoral qualities that we measured were building massing, sun and shadow, sound levels, vegetation, and population densities. We noticed that the Spanish were very entwined with their community and immediate surroundings. Thus, we designed six buildings that reflected

the immediate cultural surroundings and infused sensoral rhythms to diversify spaces within the monotonous grid. Their forms were generated from perspectival lines and vectors projected from

surrounding buildings. each individual building was then programmed based on its proximity to a particular cultural program. The specific programming dictated certain types of sensories to

be enhanced or diminished. This was attained by material choices, proximity to vegetation and/or surrounding buildings, difference in elevation, and visual trajectories, which all particularized specific spaces and influenced circulation in the immediate and surrounding context. The finished project is a

secondary school that is integrated contextually and conceptually into the spanish community.

MORPH | MUSEUM OF CULTURAL AND SOCIAL ENERGIES

CONCEPT + FORM: The initial idea for the form was that it would open and close through folding. Origami became the source for a spherical form in order to increase the potential for solar absorption. As a result, the building is an aggregate of truncated icosehedrons arranged along a curve with operative panels of different plasticities to further increase solar collection. The structure is a geodesic dome, comprised of nodes and members and clad in a triple-layered ETFE

pillow while the operative panels are a single layered ETFE sheet. ETFE is 1% the weight of glass, therefore it does not greatly affect the structure. The upper sphere relies on a structural core, as well as minor lateral support from the adjacent domes, which distributes the loads uniformly. Within each structural dome is another scaled dome, providing a cavity for a thermal break as well as mechanical necessities. Heat gains and losses are inherent to the dome, thus thermal mass

is used to absorb heat during the day and release it at night and panels open to intake fresh air and to exhaust warm air. In addition, due to the intensity of solar heat gain from the transparency of ETFE, a hexagon grid is printed onto the outer and inner layer of each pillow so that when they are filled to a certain point, the

patterns match up to provide shading inside the building. The completed building becomes a spectacle of its own, morphing to maximize energy absorption and distributing it throughout the building on a 24 hour cycle.

PROJECT: Morph was an opportunity to not only focus on energy found in the physical environment, but in social and cultural environments, therefore dictating the building as the exhibit itself. The project resides on a recreational park along Memorial Drive, north of downtown Calgary. Its location is vital to morning and evening passage between residential and office buildings, making it heavily activated only at specific points of the day. The intention of the museum was to activate the site on a 24 hour basis and exist self-sufficiently through solar energy. Currently, evening programs in Calgary end early and are relatively sparse. This led to the provision of a place for viewing during the day as well as events that happen after 6pm and continue until 6am.

DESIGN STRATEGY 2: PHYSICAL ELEMENTS + HUMAN EXCHANGE

DESIGN STRATEGY 3: SECTIONAL SPATIAL CONFIGURATIONS

PHYSICAL ELEMENT FREQUENCY

PROJECT: This project is an exploration on the synthesis of social exchange occurring at three different levels within downtown Calgary. At present, social programs exist as separated clusters within downtown Calgary, which segregates specific streets or areas from each other. The lack of a multi-program purposed space for the co-habitance of different types of social groups is the reason for the lack of a unified downtown Calgary identity. Another characteristic of downtown Calgary is the plus 15 system. Its function is practical for heat supported circulation system throughout a majority of the buildings. However its presence contributes to the segregated sectors in elevation. The second floor of each building connected to the plus 15 system has become an area for quick access programs, thus breaking down a majority of buildings into three main types: commercial, office, and residential. My intention was to create an architecture that could synthesize different program elements into a single space to allow for a diversity of programs, which inevitably creates a new type of spatial sharing and social mixing.

CONCEPT: Social exchange was measured at three different scales: human, program, and sectional space. Extensive mapping was done to understand: a) which objects were present in downtown Calgary that encouraged exchange between human and urban objects; b) programmatic elements that stimulated human exchange and the frequency to which these elements existed in specific programs; and c) how particular configurations affected the way space could affect they way people interacted with each other and the architecture. Another series of mapping was required to locate an appropriate site that would have the most impact based on the current amenities and population densities. The site chosen would exist in a current void of amenities but have a high density of people during the day and night. A third series of mapping emerged to understand population density, building heights and views, transit connections, plus 15 expansions (and potentially plus 30, etc.), And sun orientation. Finally the building design began as three towers of commercial, office, and residential, with a cultural building existing as the heart between the three towers, and a connection to the 7th street ctrain station. Within the buildings exist mixed programs connected by open floors via ramps, which continues externally with the corrosion of edges and the sharing of space.

6TH AVE X 7TH AVE SITE STUDIES

Art has always been an integral part of my life. From sketching to printmaking, I have been constantly maintaining and learning

techniques. Drawing is my fundamental outlet for creativity and ideas. Throughout my Bachelors I became interested in

self portraiture and the qualities of an object’s surface. I mainly explored skin surfaces and how such a thin layer can vary in color, texture, and function. I expanded the exploration through painting

and printmaking, which created different effects in surface rendering and depth.
