University of Waterloo: 2B Studio. Project: Botanical Garden

The objective was to design a culturally relevant botanical garden within Toronto. Though deviating from tradition, my design incorporates horticulture, experimentation and the artistry of gardening to explore a part of life that today sees more and more attention and deliberation; food.

University of Waterloo: 1B BCon, with Stephane Gaulin-BrownProject: A Steel Structure Inspired by Biomimicry

In this project I tried to resolve the atmosphere of Henry David theau’s imagined “loftier” cabin with his philosophies on econmoics. In other words, inspired by a passage from Walden I have dreamt up an uninsulated heavy timber cabin for the forests of Massachusetts.
