My name: Will Fu,
a student, optimist, and lover of all things creative.
Through research, and experimentation, I continue on a life long passion to learn how the shaping and connection of architecture can influence the way we communicate, percieve, and interact with the environment around us.
Please view and critique my work.Thank you.

AGRI-EVOLUTION GARDEN
2B STUDIO: LOLA SHEPPARD
MILTON QUARRY, ON
JULY 2014
The agri-evolution education centre is situated at the entrance of milton quarry. This centre showcases the evolution of selected cash crops and the horticulture associated with these early domesticated plants.
The goals of the centre was to create a main circulation path in which layers of information, sectional relationships, and views of the landscape are gradually revealed before one exits the building to disperse out into the fluctuating topography of the landscape.

The landscape has 3 rings which represents the different evolutionary stages of each species from gmo centre to the natural. The circular organization of 1 acre plots allows for a rotating and changing landscape in which the species chosen are planted and harvested in different times of the year.

The Projection Centre primarily focuses on establishing a connection between activites through the views, and movement of the user. The cultural centre is comprised of three fragments: the visual arts centre, the performance art centre, and the fitness centre. These fragments read as a extrusion from the landscape while the 2nd floor sits as the single monolithic build form on the site.

HIGHLINE CINEMAS
HONOURABLE MENTION: POOR BUT BEAUTIFUL COMPETITION
IN COLLAB: LOGAN STEELE
34TH ST, NEW YORK
MAR 2014
Highline Cinemas introduces to the city what has previously been confined to the suburbs: the Drive-in Cinema. During the day the proposal serves as a functional, high density parking garage with accommodations for 252 vehicles. However, unlike a conventional parking garage which becomes inert overnight, our proposal comes to life as a vertically oriented drive-in cinema.
Boasting two main screens along with a host of secondary screens ranging from one to three floors in height with various configurations in response to orientation and theatre functions, Highline Cinemas also provide moving pods with various functions and generous sheltered public spaces.

AWR COPENHAGEN MODERN LIBRARY COMPETITION
IN COLLAB: LYDON WHITTLE, LARA ISAAC
HARBOUR FRONT, COPENHAGEN
NOV 2014
This project seeks to challenge the existing paradigm and traditional ideals of libraries through recognizing how technology has influenced, among other things, the way people communicate, learn, and discover. The library embraces the prevalence of social media and the digitization and accessibility of information both of which have been rapidly transitioning in the past decade. The analog represents the traditional book centred library experience and is buried belowgrade in reference to an ancient delicate ruin marking the book concentrated zone as the foundation from which the digital realm has risen from.
The upper portions of the library are more representative of the current and future digital experience where books are no longer the primary medium and devices have become the agent to accessing and exploring the intangible ‘cloud’. This opening of spaces shifts the definition of a library from a storage for information to a physical realm to induce research and cross disciplinary interaction.

A mouse is to return home by navigating the maze. The wall, the most basic of all architectural elements impose and dicate the mouse to experience and act in polar extremes, his comfort is challenged, his morals are tested.
“Extruded black walls populate in orderly fashion, snapping to the white grid of a black marble plane. Pieces crisscross and bind to each other, creating diverse paths in a maze of circulation, turning sharply to form clear distinctions between figure and void. The playground is ready.”
“Within the home, encounters are minimal, chance is eliminated. Physically enclosed, comfort is protected, now resting within the permanence its locality. The walls divide and clearly punctuate the space. Black and white. There is no space for the grey, which confuses the animal with the civil.”

DESTINGO RESTAURANT,QUEEN ST. WEST, TORONTO
SEPT 2014
Sky City is an exploration and imagining of spaces of the future. Sky City defines a spacial dichotomy between physical materials and virtual softwares.The growth of our digital age promises a future where our spaces exists within the physical and virtual realities. We hypthosize future interior spaces that will think, sense, and react to changes in the environment, occupancy and time while the exterior form of spaces will become more systemized and modular.
The curved path directs users through the cloud as the series of ribs illuminate the path following the users. Fabric is used to finesse the form of the ribs while creating an interior condition shielding views from the inside out. The cloud purposefully covers waist up, revealing only the legs of the user as their “heads are in the clouds.” The installation served as a shelter and framed the entrance to the restaurant that hosted our installation, Destingo.

CO-OP II: ARCHITECTURAL ASSISTANT
TORONTO
SEPT-DEC 2014
At my time at KPMB I predominately aided in the drawing of construction drawings for an orchestra extension to Hendrie Hall, site and scale analysis of Huronia Regional Centre, and health and science layouts for CAMH. I learnt how to draw RCP’s, details, AV drawings, and slab edge drawings as well as general material and construction knowledge. I 3-D modeled the site of Huronia Regional Centre and surrounding context from google earth in order to develop a scale comparison study of different outdoor amphitheatre spaces. I was the sole aid to the principal in this early stage of the project and helped him prepare a presentation.

CO-OP I: ARCHITECTURAL INTERN
NEW YORK
JAN-APR 2014
At my time at HWKN I predominatly did context modeling, massing, aesthetic tests and iterations in rhino nurbs. I also did photoshop, illustrator, physical models and design research. I mostly worked with the senior design director: robert may and got to experience intial design meetings and processes. hwkn gave me the opportunity to contribute my own design ideas while touching on a large variety of projects from interiors to masterplanning.
