COMMUNITY
IN NATURE, Hudson, Quebec |
Course: 301-406B
Design and Construction IV
Professors:
Vikram Bhatt and
Julia Bourke
Final Deadline: 12-04-99 |
Project
Design a new residential community in Hudson
on a 60-acre piece of land. The site spans from the water edge on
the north end of the site to the train track on the south end.
Design
Our design incorporated the use of the cluster
type housing plans in between rows of trees that follow the concession
lines. The green spaces between two clusters created open semi-public
spaces. Along the waters edge are small cabins scattered within the
trees. These lodges can be rented out to people who might want a
summer cabin by the lake or who want to rent a cabin in the winter for
ice fishing, etc. The community buildings are also on the north side
of Main Street facing the water. |

Design and Construction II
Prof.: Julia Bourke
Final Deadline: 10-02-1998 |
Project
Design a facade for a proposed townhouse in
Montreal. The project did not involve the design of the townhouse,
but in designing the facade, the intent of what would be behind the exterior
walls had to be considered at all times.

the differences between the two sisters (imaginary clients) that would
each own one of the two houses. The sister on the left is a single
mother of two. The ground floor is her office, the piano nobile is
the main living area and the 2nd floor is where the bedrooms are.

THINKING THE ELEMENTS and REVEALING
THE ELEMENTAL POETRY OF THE WORLD |
Course: 301-303A
Design and Construction I
Prof.: Ricardo L. Castro
Final Deadline: 14-10-1997 |
Project
This project was done in two parts.
The first part involved the exploration of the elements (earth and water)
through photography. The second part required that we designed a
device that would reveal an element through the use of parallax.
Design
This parallax device was intended to reveal
the green stain on the stone masonry of the MacDonald Engineering building
at McGill University that was created by the combination of the copper
roof and the rain. The poetic intention of using solely recycled
materials to build this device was to contrast with how this stain was
indeed created due to polluted rain water. |
