Rhinoceros is 3D modeling software that enables users to edit, create and analyze curves, shapes, surfaces and point clouds into 3D shapes. The Grasshopper is a visual programming language plugin for Rhino. Grasshopper is a way for users to parabolically design within Rhino.
UBC Sustaingineering is an interdisciplinary engineering student design team that develops renewable energy technologies to support communities globally. Through the development and deployment of these green technologies, the Sustaingineering team has created renewable energy solutions implemented into a Tiny Home.
With the use of LIDAR data from the City of Vancouver, I created a model of Dusty Greenwell Park. Using the Grasshopper plug-in for Rhino, I developed a new design intervention for the site.
A case study project on The Stahl House. The Stahl House is located on a small lot in the hills above Los Angeles. Built in 1960 by Pierre Koenig, the motivating force behind the design of the home was the 270-degree view of the city below. The topography drops rapidly on three sides of the site making the house feel as if it is floating on the city below.
A media design project working in Rhino to design, program and 3D model a pavilion for a park.
An individual project that looks at a specific patch within Hospital Lane. An unsafe pedestrian crossing issue is solved with the design intervention of a pedestrian bridge.
Hospital Lane is a corridor identified by the University of British Columbia campus planners as one commmonly used for travel by students getting through the UBC campus. With two of my peers, we studied the cooridor to evalute its current status and search for places needing improvement.
