Photo voltaic Steps by Nicole Cao
“Photo voltaic Steps explores how thresholds outline relationships between residential and concrete scales.
“What architectural interventions can dynamically adapt the circulatory, visible and auditory porosity between inside and exterior and home and public zones?
“How can adjustable merging and division accommodate a wide range of residing preparations and programmatic permutations?
“The layering of operable thresholds and inhabited middleman areas imagines a dynamic type of collective residing the place the person resident’s relationship to their flatmates, neighbours and the broader group turn into concurrently extra related and extra versatile.

Group venture: Robotic Made 2022
“The Mille-feuille Pavilion is a robotically fabricated plywood pavilion that was constructed as a part of a workshop hosted by the Faculty of Structure and Panorama Structure (SALA) and the Centre for Superior Wooden Processing (CAWP), which passed off from 4 to eight June 2022.
“The workshop was led by Affiliate Professor David Correa of the College of Waterloo, Oliver David Krieg of Clever Metropolis and Affiliate Professor AnnaLisa Meyboom from UBC SALA.
“The free-standing construction is a multi-layered plywood meeting that depends solely on exact wood-to-wood joinery – 43 webs join 150 distinctive wooden planks and no screws or nails have been used.
“Relatively than utilizing straight, pre-cut sections, the pavilion investigates the bounds of elastically bent plywood to create a free-form and lightweight, self-supporting construction.
“The design pushes every part to bend to its restrict, when the curvature asks for a tighter radius than the wooden can accomplish, a sample of lamination begins.
“The ensuing design celebrates the formal potential of the curved plywood whereas constructing sectional depth by way of the mille-feuille-like meeting of a number of layers.”

The Tiber Museum by Gareth Bracewell and Cian Hrabi
