C. Venart and T. Tierny
Considering the site or
constructed model at two
scales (1:1 and 1:20), cre-
ate a compositional sculp-

proportion, dimmension and
physicality, use sets of ele-
ments to design a pattern
of spatial relationships.

The Room

October 2007
T. Sweetapple
The room is a private retreat for an individual. A roois simple enough to pursue a single architectural ide
yet it is complex enough to address most architectur
issues. The Room is, in a way, a primitive hut of archite
ture, a kind of zero point in design from which everythin
can be addressed and everything can be anticipate

In this week long outdoor
workshop, groups of stu-
dents constructed and
tested various structural
prototypes. In tensegrity
structures, compression mem-bers act independantly from
each other. The structure is
self supporting and does not
require external forces such
as gravity. This 1:20 tensegri-
ty structure uses the ground
as a tension member to sup-
port three individual modules.

This two week group project examined ideas of
site, views and pathways. After various mater-
ial studies, models, full scale mock ups and
computer modeling, the project wasinstalledin modules on a popular pedestrian pathway on
Halifaxs lively spring garden road. The proj-

egration of technology and enhanced user enviornmen
When choosing building materials, for example, wselected durable and low maintenance materials
materials to enhance aesthetic appeal and function; an
materials produced/reused with little environmenta
impact. In programming, various design consideration
(ventilation, acoustic concerns, user groups, equipm
ent loads, daylighting, water access, etc.) were compi
ed and mapped in building plans and sections. Whil
massing program and various faade requirements, rela
ionships (in views, pedestrian/cyclist access, service access, etc) with Sexton Campus and greater Halifax co
unity were factored.

COMPLEX SURFACES: UNFOLDEDINTO A CONTIGUOUS PATTERN
4502: REPRESENTATION
MARCH, 2009
S. PARCELL
After studying textile patterns (combining
objects and images into contiguous two-dimensi-
onal patterns), and origami, I completed a meas-
ured drawing of the student lounge. By unfol-
ding the various ceiling plans and elevations off
of the central floor plan, I combined the plan
and elevation information into unfolded eleva-
tions that would later be used in a template. It
was quite unnatural to combine this informationand the exercise often proved puzzling and diff-
icult.

A comprehensive studio dedicated to the study of the culture
ecology, economy and infrastructure of urban and rural co-
astal settlements. Various humanities and technogloy proje-
cts were completed in studio before beginning field work.
Commencing on protected salt marshes in Nova Scotias Bay
of Fundy, we examined the confliction of static architecture in
dynamic landscapes. A tour of the coastal United States pre-
sented the students with research labs, lectures, studio work,
and collaboration with other architecture schools.

A two week design build course in a French Acadian com-
munity in northern Cape Breton Island. Various prototypes
and public installations were placed throughout the town
as part of a larger cultural initiative and urban plan for
the area. The group constructed lamella prototypes, boa-
rd walk installations, public seating (built by traditional
curved trusses), signage design and a theatre marquee.
