'Open33'
Architecture suspended as a rigid index.Thirty three spatial coordinates dictate a temporary pavilion. Each wood support punctured by a specific 팔괘 (pal-gwae) hexagram. The void filters light and dictates structural friction while anchoring human weight.
Spatial logic moves in the opposite direction. It flattens. Extracting the radial sequence from site and cut directly into metal. A permanent map of negative space. The mass is removed but resonance remains.
Post dismantle. The architecture fractures into two opposing records. Plywood piled on the floor, the patina exposed. A dense accumulation of labour.

On the prairie, wind is sculptor. It carves sastrugi, dynamic ridges and sharp edges that make winter hostile. The same elemental forces that create barriers on Winnipeg’s winter river become the very materials of gathering and wonder. Hostility, reimagined as sanctuary.
Design for a warming hut.

Pavilion for ROBOTMADE 2025 workshop, now installed at the UBC campus. Component based structural system for doubly curved surfaces - utilizing bending elasticity of plywood to create curvature.
Designed, programmed, and fabricated using 7-axis KUKA via GH.

Past exhibition @vivomediaarts June 19-29
Different moments of laser visualization of body movements, where the aim was to visualize the human body and the dancers movements in ways that we can’t perceive easily but the presence of the body is still felt.

Fading glyphs
Rapid Laser projection mapping onto 96 screens suspended in the air specifically mapped to the joints from three bodies, each individually painted with a phosphorescent UV reactive paint leaving a fading afterimage of the previous movement. This particular section pushed the laser software to its maximum capacity often crashing the system during the process, we wanted to create an experience where you can feel the body within the structure and create moments where you can sense time as the fleeting glyphs of the body eventually disappears to again reappear into a new form
Today is the last day to experience ARRAY @vivomediaarts 4pm-8pm thank you again for the whole team couldn’t asked for more and momentum effort to bring this project together, looking forward to the next work as we continue explore.

Instagram Hikaye Görüntüleyici, Instagram hikayelerini, videoları, fotoğrafları veya IGTV'yi gizlice izleyip kaydetmenizi sağlayan basit bir araçtır. Bu hizmetle, içerikleri indirip istediğiniz zaman çevrimdışı olarak keyfini çıkarabilirsiniz. Instagram'da daha sonra görmek istediğiniz bir şey bulduysanız veya anonim kalmak isterseniz, bizim Görüntüleyicimiz sizin için mükemmeldir. Anonstories, kimliğinizi gizli tutmak için mükemmel bir çözüm sunar. Instagram, Hikaye özelliğini Ağustos 2023'te başlatmış ve bu format, etkileşimi yüksek ve zaman sınırlı olduğu için hızla diğer platformlar tarafından benimsenmiştir. Hikayeler, kullanıcıların hızlı güncellemeler paylaşmasını sağlar; fotoğraflar, videolar veya selfie'ler, metin, emojiler veya filtrelerle zenginleştirilmiş ve sadece 24 saat görünür. Bu sınırlı süre, normal gönderilere göre yüksek etkileşim yaratır. Bugünlerde, Hikayeler sosyal medyada bağlantı kurmanın ve iletişim kurmanın en popüler yollarından biridir. Ancak, bir Hikaye görüntülediğinizde, yaratıcısı adınızı görüntüleyici listesinde görebilir ki bu da gizlilik endişesi yaratabilir. Peki ya Hikayeleri fark edilmeden görüntülemek isterseniz? İşte burada Anonstories devreye girer. Kimliğinizi ifşa etmeden, kamuya açık Instagram içeriğini izlemenizi sağlar. Sadece merak ettiğiniz profilin kullanıcı adını girin, araç size en son Hikayelerini gösterecektir. Anonstories Görüntüleyicisinin Özellikleri: - Anonim Tarama: Hikayeleri görüntüleyici listesine düşmeden izleyin. - Hesap Gerekmez: Instagram hesabı oluşturmadan kamuya açık içeriği görüntüleyin. - İçerik İndirme: Hikaye içeriklerini cihazınıza indirip çevrimdışı olarak kullanabilirsiniz. - Öne Çıkanlar Görüntüleme: Instagram Öne Çıkanlarına erişin, 24 saatlik süreyi aşarak da. - Yeniden Paylaşım Takibi: Kişisel profillerin Hikayeleri üzerindeki paylaşımları veya etkileşim seviyelerini takip edin. Kısıtlamalar: - Bu araç yalnızca açık hesaplarla çalışır; özel hesaplar erişilemez. Yararları: - Gizlilik Dostu: Herhangi bir Instagram içeriğini fark edilmeden izleyin. - Basit ve Kolay: Uygulama yükleme veya kayıt gerekmez. - Özel Araçlar: Instagram’ın sunmadığı şekilde içerik indirme ve yönetme.
Instagram güncellemelerini gizlice takip edin, gizliliğinizi koruyun ve anonim kalın.
Özel Profil Görüntüleyicisi ile profilleri ve fotoğrafları anonim olarak kolayca görüntüleyin.
Bu ücretsiz araç, hikaye yükleyicisine görünmeden Instagram Hikayelerini anonim olarak görüntülemenizi sağlar.
Anonstories, kullanıcıların Instagram hikayelerini yaratıcıyı uyarmadan görüntülemelerini sağlar.
iOS, Android, Windows, macOS ve Chrome ile Safari gibi modern tarayıcılarda sorunsuz çalışır.
Giriş bilgisi gerektirmeden güvenli, anonim taramayı ön planda tutar.
Kullanıcılar, sadece bir kullanıcı adı girerek halka açık hikayeleri görüntüleyebilir—hesap gerekmez.
Fotoğrafları (JPEG) ve videoları (MP4) kolayca indirir.
Hizmet ücretsizdir.
Özel hesaplardan içerikler yalnızca takipçiler tarafından erişilebilir.
Dosyalar yalnızca kişisel veya eğitimsel kullanım içindir ve telif hakkı kurallarına uymalıdır.
Bir kamu kullanıcı adı girin, hikayeleri görüntüleyin veya indirin. Hizmet, içeriği yerel olarak kaydetmek için doğrudan bağlantılar oluşturur.
