This project aims to translate common features of the corner house typology to a new mixed use development, utilizing custom machine learning datasets to drive this analysis.
The research focuses on artificial intelligence as an imperfect tool to generate critical misunderstandings and prompt new thought processes and ways of designing.

The Lantern, proposed for the City Relief pop-up shelter, welcomes people struggling with or at risk of experiencing homelessness in a comforting space. The design caters to the flexibility and mobility required, as it can be disassembled and transported in a 20ft container.
Inspired by the structure of paper lanterns and origami techniques, the outer shell is a modular foldable tunnel. The services provided are separated into each module with the ability to expand, curve and contract; the configuration possibilities are endless.

A unique approach to designing laneway housing where two homes can equally experience the length and width of the plot. The project employs machine learning in the ideating and design optimization stages, leveraging its iterative abilities.

The task called for an architectural connection module that responds to a physical constraint and arrives at a larger pavilion-scale intervention. The project is a play on Nagashi Somen, a japanese summer tradition of catching and eating noodles as they flow down bamboo chutes with flowing water. The result is a plug-n-play method for creating an assembly of nagashi somen slides, optimized for any use, from any grade.

Unadaptable to our changing needs, buildings are abandoned, sometimes even before they are completed, leaving behind concrete skeletons. What is to become of them?
The proposal is an adaptive reuse of concrete ruins via a timber space frame structure. It winds around the concrete base, like a growing vine, reshaping its envelope by extending its floors outwards.
Rather than imposing a fixed intervention, the timber space frame and concrete structure function as ‘skeletons’ whose ‘organs’ may change over time and space. Modular habitation pods may be inserted, or panels may be secured to the grid in infinite configurations.

The aim of this project is to develop an efficient, adaptable and accessible method to 3d scan an object using the UR10e. The robotic arm mounted with a phone and light box captures a video of the chosen object, from which frames are extracted to produce a 3d scan in MetaShape.
The Grasshopper script is adaptable to objects with different dimensions, different phones and environments, adjusting the trajectory parametrically to ensure even coverage.
A manual guides a user through the script preparation, robot execution and post-production steps

Columns in a 9 square grid act as needle heads in which metal mesh walls can be threaded through. At each column --made up of 4 poles for flexibility in direction-- three types of intersections may occur: the loop, the pinch, and the overpass.
Visitors enter into large open areas and are increasingly threading through narrower paths as they ascend the building. The metal mesh may layer itself to create more private spaces or open itself up to views.

A study into the Preservation and Conservation of Heritage in Harbord Village through the material conservation of victorian architectural styles and the intangible preservation of memories.

Based in Toronto, Shift Collective is a student-run publishing group that aims to disentangle the practices of art, architecture, and design from the biases, exclusivity and elitism that have historically shaped their canon.
Scaffold* Journal is process oriented research journal that aims to validate acts of creative process as work within themselves. Volume 1.1, showcases process work and its latter half, showcasing polished work, will be released in October.
