Graduate students Karine Quigley and Kim Adamek designed Exposing Elements, a site-responsive installation for Night\Shift that attempts to draw awareness to the existing materials and environmental forces and expose them in a playful and interactive fashion. Night\Shift is happening tonight, November 1st starting 7pm.
On Tuesday October 28th at 2pm, Melissa Shea will present her thesis in the loft. “This is a story about a Goat, who is an Animated & a Talking Goat, unusually, for an Architect. There are also other Talking Animals, such as a Moose, a Butterfly by the name of Bill, a Beaver, and a Jackalope—the Jackalope is a bit scary, but perhaps they are all friends. In any case, there are also Buildings, or this would not be a Master’s Thesis in Architecture.”
Paths to Practice is a day long event hosted by the School of Architecture and Co-operative Education and Career Action to bring together students, professionals, faculty, and co-operative education in exploration of current Architectural practice and employment opportunities. The event begins at 10am on Wednesday October 22nd.
Jenny Sabin visited Waterloo Architecture last week to lead a workshop entitled Matrix Architecture: Modeling Biological Reciprocity – A Landscape Takes Shape. The workshop was conducted as a two-day seminar and hands-on lab which explored the potentials of integrating biological phenomena into architecture and design practices.
OnTheLine converted the 200 iXpress transit route into a gallery connecting transit riders with the rich collection of local destinations located along the bus route, while simultaneously supporting the shaping of a collective identity for Waterloo Region. Now OnTheLine needs your help to further the collection of eDATA and build the collective identity of the Waterloo Region!
Tonight, October 2nd at 7pm in the Main Lecture Hall, we will have the third lecture in this fall’s Arriscraft Series and features the experimental work of Jenny Sabin who operates an experimental architecture, design and art studio in Philadelphia. Can buildings behave more like organisms in their built environments?
Monday and Thursday are studio days. On these days in particular, the third floor undergraduate studio is filled with a frenetic energy of design, research, and exploration. Every week we’ll share a completed project, churned out from this energetic studio environment.
Each fall Design at Riverside presents Master Works, an annual juried exhibition selected from proposals for solo and/or group exhibitions by students or recent graduates of the Masters of Architecture program at the University of Waterloo School of Architecture. This year Stephanie Boutari was selected for her thesis work entitled Second Skin: Painting Architecture.
Monday and Thursday are studio days. On these days in particular, the third floor undergraduate studio is filled with a frenetic energy of design, research, and exploration. Students can usually be found talking excitedly with design professors and classmates in a habitat saturated with trace sketches, study models, and empty coffee cups. Every week we’ll share a completed project, churned out from this energetic studio environment. Interested in having your work featured on our STUDIO WORK...
A century after the burial of Garrison Creek, the neighborhoods where the former creek flowed through are subject to commercial development dissecting the Victorian neighborhoods into fragments of polarized places resulting in the lack of public spaces for play. This thesis is conceived based on Michael Hough’s theory of holistic design and draws design inspirations from landscape architects such as Kongjian Yu and Michel Desvigne to mediate the tension between city and nature by using localized strategies.
