"IN TIME ALL THINGS WORK TO YOUR ADVANTAGE WHEN YOU PURSUE THEM WITH AN OPEN HEART"

The Indoor Art Garden is my thesis project, where I aim to explore the idea that, despite Vancouver being a city rich in multiculturalism, the art world often remains confined to traditional "fine arts" and lacks inclusive spaces for emerging artists and students to showcase their work. While Vancouver has renowned institutions like the Vancouver Art Gallery and the Vancouver Film Gallery, these spaces tend to focus on established artists, leaving little room for new talents to be discovered. My project seeks to create a space where people can gather, connect, and enjoy nature and art regardless of the weather or time of day. It would serve as a cultural hub, not only to celebrate Vancouver's diverse cultures but also to provide a platform for students and emerging artists to display their work, fostering a sense of discovery and community engagement.

Indoor Art Garden (IAG)
This project, developed during my degree, explores the concept of "space" in a dual sense—both as a physical environment and as a thematic inspiration. The design focuses on creating a learning environment tailored specifically for children, emphasizing the importance of providing them with a dedicated space where they can explore, play, and learn freely. By incorporating a "space" theme, the design not only captures the imagination of young minds but also reflects the idea of limitless possibilities and discovery. The goal is to create an engaging and dynamic atmosphere that encourages curiosity and creativity, allowing children to interact with their surroundings in a way that feels both educational and fun. This approach highlights the importance of designing spaces that are not only functional but also inspiring, fostering a sense of wonder and growth in young learners

THE DAM
This project, titled The Dam, was one of the first designs created during my degree. The task was to conceptualize a hotel in Vancouver that reflected a chosen theme, which in my case was "Origins." The design draws inspiration from the beaver, Canada’s national animal, and its remarkable ability to construct dams—an architectural marvel in nature that has shaped ecosystems and supported life for centuries. The name The Dam pays homage to this incredible creature and its impact, symbolizing resilience, ingenuity, and harmony with the environment. The project explores how architecture can reflect natural phenomena and celebrate the origins of the land it inhabits

In my Environmental Design course, I undertook a project to design a bike station in Vancouver. Recognizing the city's well-developed bike paths, I identified the need for community-focused rest stations. My design proposes a bike station near Rupert Park, featuring a parking area, a communal second-floor park with a water mirror that collects rainwater for reuse, and solar panels for self-sufficiency. This station aims to provide a safe, eco-friendly space for cyclists to rest and connect with the community while enjoying Vancouver's scenic beauty.
