It's been a while...

Far too long since my last blog, and I figured I should use this opportunity to discuss my latest project

Sustainable Design of a hypothetical student residence in Burnaby


Quite a few ideas have been running thru my head, but I love the idea of modular homes in a versatile design.




The ideal of modularity combines form and function. Attractive form, and functional construction.

But herein lies the problem - a fixed design concept (straight edges and for lack of a better word, boxy).

The combination of bio-mimicry and modularity seems to be the key. Tying together attractive design and sustainable practices. I call it, bio-mod design.

The concept in held together by simple form for the structure and bio-mimicry for the facade.

Let me know what you think! Will post pics of my design ideas
