Hello! I am a recent graduate of the University of British Columbia’s School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, where I received my Masters of Architecture degree in May 2011.

I currently work at Bruce Mau Design as an architectural designer on their Brand Environments team. Concurrently, I am active independently as a co-founder of the design collective, the Loose Affiliates. Our first built public installation, Picnurbia, debuted last summer in Robson Square, Vancouver. Currently, we are preparing work for the 13th International Architecture Biennale in Venice, Italy. We are excited to be involved in this prestigious Biennale.

In this CV/portfolio I present a short sample of my work and an overview of my recent professional background. Enjoy.

Recent Work:

The Loose Affiliates is a design collective founded by four like-minded creatives with architecture degrees. Our collective was formed in Vancouver in 2011 as a collaborative umbrella under which to put forth and realize new ideas. These ideas often cross-over from the traditional practice of architecture into other art and design categories, resulting in projects that span different scales of time and place. Our work is largely unsolicited, often speculative, and always optimistic. We look for hidden gems in unassuming places, explore issues that interest us, and hustle to make things happen because we love vibrant cities.

The Transportation Infrastructure and Public Space (TIPS) Lab is an interdisciplinary research institute whose mandate is to develop innovative and socially significant approaches to the design of transportation infrastructure.

This research project established a framework for the deployment of electric vehicle fast charging stations in B.C. Responsibilities on the project included the design and illustration of various branding potentials for the different scales of level II charging infrastructure.

In the spring of 2011 ‘Picnurbia’ opened to the public in the heart of Vancouver’s Robson Square. The temporary installation was designed to become an easily inhabited summer zone where people could gather to hang out and enjoy the long summer days. The soft, undulating landscape, umbrellas, and benches allowed visitors to relax together in different configurations.

ECOLOGICALLY DEFENSIVE ARCHITECTURE FOR A LEAKY LANDSCAPE

GRADUATION PROJECT UBC, VANCOUVER, BC, JUNE 2011

‘Ecologically Defensive Architecture For A Leaky Landscape’ proposes an infrastructural and spatial response to future pipeline oil spills in the Kitimat region of British Columbia, where a new pipeline and marine port are planned on being built.

PIPELINE PROTECTION // KITIMAT, B.C.

This project utilizes infrastructural strategies to protect the town of Kitimat from future oil spills along the pipeline route, while opportunistically utilizing the heat of the oil to alter the programmatic organization of the town.

OIL ENTERS THE PIPELINE IN ALBERTA AT APPROXIMATELY 62°. AS THIS OIL

TRAVELS ACROSS B.C., IT IS REHEATED TO MAINTAIN VISCOSITY, RESULTING IN A

FINAL TEMPERATURE BETWEEN 10-30° BY THE TIME THE OIL REACHES KITIMAT.

Heat Exchange Addition

The proposed addition of a heat exchange system and spill protection shell to the oil pipeline protects the community from future spills while utlizing the heat of the oil for community gains.

IN THE FUTURE, KITIMAT RESIDENTS COULD LEAVE THE SUBURBS TO

DENSIFY ALONG THE PIPELINE ROUTE. THIS PROJECT SUGGEST HOW

A CENTRAL COMMUNITY SPACE MIGHT BE BUILT.

BIOSLAVE BOOM PLAN

This Bioslave Boom absorbs oil from marine environments when dragged through an oil spill. The super-absorbent boom is manufactured out of cellulose waste which provides a stable base for mycroremediation to occur. This process breaks down the hydrocarbons in the oil, detoxifying the environment through natural processes.

MAX SHARE HOUSING

STUDIO PROJECT

UBC, 2010

This housing project organizes compact living units around shared communal spaces as a strategy to minimize the building envelope while creating a culture of resource sharing.

The sharing of facilities and resources by units decreases the initial material consumption of the building envelope, while creating a platform for communal living arrangements.
