The in ten t of the s i te s tudy is to observe thoroughly the act iv i t ies and the character of the sector provided by the ins t ruc tor . David, R i ley and I were ass igned to inves t igate Sector 4 which is on Johns ton St reet a long the Publ ic Market . We did several s i te v is i t s and produced sketches to capture the main character is t ic of the sector. Through a ser ies of inves t igat ion and compi la t ion of ideas, our group produced a rendered s i te p lan that we th ink bes t descr ibes Sector 4.

“There is a feeling of history, of culture that resides on the island with the waterfront buildings, historically being an important part of Vancouver’s growth...This significance can be best described as controlled chaos, not without a purpose but chaos in its primal state of disorder.” - David, Riley and Alex.

The cup is such a smal l objec t that choosing of mater ia l to fabr icate i t i s very essent ia l . Fabr icat ion drawings were also necessary to make sure s tudents are wel l aware i f i t i s poss ib le to produce i t whi le des igning the overal l aes the t ics of the cup.

The aes thet ic of i t was decided dur ing the purchase of wood mater ia ls .

WEST COAST MODERNISMCal i forn ia, U.S. - Los Angeles, La Jo l la, Palm Spr ings [Winter 2013]Team: David Gordon, R i ley Syjuco, Prasetyo Mahardika, Vinny Enoch & Alex Raymundo

In celebration of Architectural Modernism in February 2013, me and my team decided to pay a visit in some of the modern buildings in the area of southern California. Some of these classic buildings are the Salk Institute in La Jolla, The Schindler’s House, The Eames’ House and The Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles.

The intent of our visit is to analyze the organization of spaces, materials used and natural lighting. The architect’s background were also looked at as well as their contributions in the world of Architecture.

Salk Institutes open courtyard provides natural light into the buildings and promotes collaboration.

ROBSON ROLLAXVIVA Vancouver: Robson Redux Design Compet i t ion [Spr ing 2014]Team: Ains ley Viggers, Anton Lukashov, Emi ly Pawluk, Jon Toronchuk & Alex Raymundo

Rol lax is a des ign concept for the VIVA Vancouver 2014 design compet i t ion. The design is to encourage Vancouver i tes to connect and in teract wi th o ther people and our beaut i fu l c i ty. The undula t ing wood s t ruc ture provides a place for res t , p lay and shel ter on or under.

The ro l l ing wave mimics the ro l l ing s i lhouet te of the mountains that cascade down to the ocean waters. These are both memorable features t rue to the character is t ics and ident i ty when v is i t ing Vancouver.

The beaut i fu l s t ruc ture showcases the use of wood and i t s capabi l i t ies in a unique way that wi l l c reate conversat ions and remind us of our v ibrant wood indus t ry here in BC.
