class // b2 design
instructor // brian mackay-lyons
spring 2010
the obejective of the semester was to design
a house that was located on a 24x 36 lot in a
close urban condition. using the slope of the
site to raise the ground floor for privacy;
the first floor is the primary public space and
the house becomes more private with each
level.

house drawings

project // house
class // b2 design & building technology
instructor // brian mackay-lyons & emanuel
jannasch
spring 2010
after completing the initial concept and
schematic design of the house it was integrated into the building technology course.
construction details were developed for the
primary complicated points in the design.

project // case study piazza san marco

class // b3 history
instructor // maria navaro
summer 2010
a study of urban context; models and drawings
used to describe the piazza, its history and how
it was used when it was created to how it is
currently used by the city today.

piazza san marco

sphere

project // sphere
class // b2 representation
instructor // Susan Molesky
spring 2010
the objective of this project was to learn about
form thru 2-D and 3-D representation. using a plaster sphere as the primary form - the
structure designed to hold it mimics its spherical shape and properties and determines the
perspective of the audience.

project // stairs
class // b2 representation
instructor // Susan Molesky
spring 2010
the objective of this assignment was to integrate space with circulation. three spaces were
to be connected by staircases; by changing the
height and width of the stairs and the spaces
throughout the design the mobility of the
human body would be confined and create the
experience.

stairs

honeycomb

project // honeycomb
class // sculpture
instructor // nick wade
fall 2008
honey comb is 5 x 5 x 8 and welded together.
the form of this structure was determined by
the manipulation of the center cell. all the cells
dependent on the central form resulted in a
3-D object transforming into 2-D.

The inspiration for Honey Comb came from my research of strucures in nature. I became particularly interested in structures
reated by other species.

project // laneyway house - case study

class // b2 design
instructor // brian mackay-lyons
spring 2010
through drawings and models i studied the
laneway house by shimsutcliffe architects.

laneway house - case study

room in the city

project // room in the city

class // b1 design
instructor // niall savage
fall 2009
room in the city was a group case study of the
grand parade in halifax, ns. models and drawings described the space and how it is used.
this included the axis between the city hall and
the church, the layers that defined the space
and circulation.

project // wheel
class // sculpture
instructor // nick wade
spring 2009
inspired by the water wheel the objective of
this project was to integrate the skeleton of a
form with a skin.

wheel

saxophone

project // saxophone
class // sculpture
instructor // nick wade
fall 2008
saxophone was a study of two different forms
and the relationship they create when an
organic object is contained within the box.

spencers island - free lab

for the last two weeks of july 2010 ten students, including myself, and our instructor
worked on a design-build project in spencers
island, nova scotia. the first week was spent
primarily observing, drawing and modeling the
site and its surroundings.

spencers island - free lab cont.

after evaluating the site we determined the
best location to build three separate shelters
was right beside what was previously existing.
in the second week the foundations were
poured and two of the three shelters were clad.
all three shelters are built on stilts; the two that
are located beside one another are joined by
an outdoor bridge.

project // structural bay - structural testing

class // b3 bsi
instructor // roland hudson
summer 2010
group members: ryan pendleton, jessica
marcellus, olena chorney, samira rostami, kale
harper and amanda wingenbach
the objective was to design the most efficient
structure that could span 15m and could be
built and tested at 1:5 scale. using the bicycle
wheel as inspiration this structure was built
with tent poles acting in compression and
fishing wire hooked onto a bycycle hub acting
in tension. it was then loaded with bricks to
determine the total load it could carry.
