Guerrilla Dining : A Secret Strata Supper
Creators: name: Lussier, Isabelle
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: The dining table is disappearing, what do we do about it? In Vancouver, the common area in apartments is becoming smaller due to the financialization of housing as well as accessibility changes in code. As the common area becomes smaller, the living room takes over and the dining room fades away, an entire spatial typology vanishes from plan. The dining room table is a place of connection, without it, an established gathering space is erased. This thesis is part protest, part performance, proving a point about the absurdity of how hard it is to simply gather with friends and families in the places we live. Guerrilla dining takes over communal spaces in apartments and turns them into warm, shared meals. By transforming these often overlooked spaces I am asking: why should I have to go to such lengths just to have space for community?

description: Purpose: To assist hospitals in preparing for a surge of patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, the World Health Organization (WHO) published an assessment tool called the rapid hospital readiness checklist. This checklist has been used by numerous countries, including Indonesia. However, several technical issues were discovered, primarily as a result of the manual recording of the checklist on a spreadsheet. This study aimed to identify challenges related to the hospital readiness checklist that was implemented in Indonesia. Materials and Methods: This qualitative study used focus group discussions to collect data. The study was conducted in East Java, Indonesia, in October 2021, with the participation of nine organizations from the provinces of East Java and Bali. Data were thematically analyzed, and the findings were presented in a narrative format. Results: Hospital participants had experience in filling out a hospital readiness checklist every 3 months. Some challenges faced by the hospital was the need to manually enter data into the checklist, lack of coordination and communication, there were various perceptions in hospitals as there was no technical guide in completing the checklist, absence of feedback, and the data returning empty due to filling errors. Additionally, City X health office also identified challenges in monitoring and evaluating the hospital checklists. Conclusion: This study, which included both hospitals and the health office, described the challenges encountered in the assessment of the hospital readiness checklist. Both hospitals and DHO experienced some challenges with the current system. The checklist has the potential to evolve into a public reporting to improve efficiency and faster decision-making.

description: 7-O-Galloyltricetifavan (7OGT), a natural flavonoid, is isolated from the leaves of Pithecellobium clypearia. The compound exhibits a variety of biological activities. This study details the evaluation of the HOO• antiradical activity of 7OGT by quantum chemistry calculations. The HOO• trapping activity of 7OGT in the gas phase (reference state) was discovered to follow the formal hydrogen transfer mechanism with a rate constant of k = 4.58 × 108 M-1 s-1. In physiological environments, 7OGT is predicted to be an excellent HOO• radical scavenger with k overall = 2.65 × 108 and 1.40 × 104 M-1 s-1 in water and pentyl ethanoate solvents, respectively. The HOO• antiradical activity of 7OGT in water at physiological pH is approximately 2000 times that of Trolox and substantially higher than that of other well-known natural antioxidants such as trans-resveratrol or ascorbic acid. Thus, 7OGT is an excellent natural antioxidant in polar environments.

description: The sesquiterpenoid compound abelsaginol (AS) was successfully isolated from Abelmoschus sagittifolius for the first time. The compound was identified using NMR and MS data. The antioxidant activity of AS was also evaluated both theoretically and experimentally. AS was found to be a weak HOO• radical scavenger in organic solvents such as pentyl ethanoate and dimethyl sulfoxide (koverall = ∼102 M-1 s-1), in a good agreement with the results of the 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) assay. However, AS exhibited good HOO• antiradical activity in water at pH 7.40 (koverall = 9.00 × 106 M-1 s-1) through the single-electron transfer mechanism of the anion state. Further calculations also demonstrated that AS could exert good to moderate activity against CH3O•, CH3OO•, CCl3OO•, NO2, and SO4•- radicals, with kf values from 4.00 × 103 to 1.52 × 107 M-1 s-1. However, AS exerted much lower activity against HO•, CCl3O•, NO, O2•-, and N3• radicals under the studied conditions. In general, the activity of AS in water at pH 7.40 is higher than that of Trolox or butylated hydroxytoluene, which are common reference antioxidants. Thus, in an aqueous physiological milieu, AS is a promising natural antioxidant.

description: There has been a global increase in the burden of invasive infections in people who inject drugs (PWID). It is essential that patient-centred multidisciplinary care is provided in the management of these infections to engage PWID in care and deliver evidence-based management and preventive strategies. The multidisciplinary team should include infectious diseases, addictions medicine (inclusive of alcohol and other drug services), surgery, psychiatry, pain specialists, pharmacy, nursing staff, social work and peer support workers (where available) to help address the comorbid conditions that may have contributed to the patient’s presentation. PWID have a range of antimicrobial delivery options that can be tailored in a patient-centred manner and thus are not limited to prolonged hospital admissions to receive intravenous antimicrobials for invasive infections. These options include discharge with outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy, long-acting lipoglycopeptides (dalbavancin and oritavancin) and early oral antimicrobials. Open and respectful discussion with PWID including around harm reduction strategies may decrease the risk of repeat presentations with injecting-related harms.

description: Background: Accurate data on the types of healthcare people seek in the early stages following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in Australia is lacking. We sought to investigate the types of healthcare people seek following mTBI, including seeking no care at all; ascertain the demographic, pre- and peri-injury factors, and symptom characteristics associated with the care that people access; and examine whether choice of care is associated with symptomatic recovery and quality of life. Methods: An online retrospective survey of Australians aged 18 to 65 years who had experienced a self-reported ‘concussion’ (mTBI) within the previous 18 months. Types of healthcare accessed were investigated, as well as those who did not seek any care. Data were analysed using frequency and percentages, chi-squared tests and logistic regression models. Results: A total of 201 respondents had experienced a self-reported ‘concussion’ but 21.4% of the respondents did not seek any care. Of the 183 respondents who sought healthcare, 52.5% attended a hospital Emergency Department, 41.0% attended a general practitioner and 6.6% accessed sports-based care. Compared to their counterparts, those who had a lower level of education (p = 0.001), had experienced previous mTBI (p = 0.045) or previous mental health issues (p = 0.009) were less likely to seek healthcare, whilst those who had experienced loss of consciousness (p = 0.014), anterograde (p = 0.044) or retrograde (p = 0.009) amnesia, and symptoms including drowsiness (p = 0.005), nausea (p = 0.040), and feeling slow (p = 0.031) were more likely to seek care. Those who did not seek care were more likely to recover within one month (AOR 4.90, 95%CI 1.51 – 15.89, p = 0.008), albeit the relatively large 95%CI warrants careful interpretation. Compared to seeking care, not seeking care was not found to be significantly associated with symptom resolution nor quality of life (p > 0.05). Conclusions: This study provides unique insight into factors associated with healthcare utilisation in the early stages following mTBI, as well as outcomes associated with choice of care, including not seeking care. Delivering targeted community education on the signs and symptoms of mTBI, and the advantages of seeking care following injury is an important step forward in the management of this challenging condition.
Black holes & radiative degrees of freedom of Thomas-Whitehead Gravity

description: Thomas-Whitehead Gravity is a d-dimensional projectively invariant model of gravity. This model incorporates additional fields $\mathcal{D}_{ab}$ and $\Pi^a{}_{bc}$ with the metric $g_{ab}.$ These additional field are connection components of a $(\rd+1)$ dimensional manifold, the Thomas Cone, associated with the d dimensional spacetime manifold with metric $g_{ab}.$
description: TW gravity will be briefly motivated. The coadjoint orbit action of the Kac-Moody and Virasoro semi-direct product algebra obtains the WZNW action and a modified Polyakov action incorporating a field D, the diffeomorphism field. The pure Kac-Moody coadjoint element corresponds to the Yang-Mills gauge potential in higher dimensions and the pure Virasoro coadjoint element corresponds to the diffeomorphism field, a component of the Thomas-Whitehead connection (The connection on a volume bundle of the projective equivalence class of affine connections for a manifold M.) The diffeomorphism field is understood as a component of the connection describing projective geometry. TW gravity incorporates projective and metric geometry as a theory of gravitation.
description: We'll examine the diffeomorphism field $\mathcal{D}_{ab}$ in a Minkowski space background with $\Pi$ constructed from a compatible connection. $\mathcal{D}_{ab}$ is decomposed into its irreducible representations, and studied as separate radiating degrees of freedom. There are tensor, vector, and scalar radiating solutions. Geodesic deviation from these 0th order in $h_{ab}$ fluctuations is trivial. However, as a source to 1st order in $h_{ab}$ through the metric field equations, non trivial geodesic deviation is computed. Antenna patterns for a LIGO like interferometer's response to this deviation will be presented. we'll examine the (Anti) De Sitter solutions to the theory, where the cosmological constant is related to the trace of $\mathcal{D}_{ab}$. The familiar stationary black hole spacetimes are solutions to TW gravity where their cosmological constant is determined by the trace of $\mathcal{D}_{ab}.$ The ongoing effort to understand the Tangherlini singular contribution to the Einstein equations and the contributions of the $\mathcal{D}_{ab}$ field to the temperature and entropy of spherically symmetric black holes will be discussed.

description: This project considers how opportunities for citizen science could be designed in urban parks to inform the design and monitoring of bird habitat restoration sites. Landscape architects are well positioned to design interventions for citizen scientists and birders to collect data in more consistent ways by aligning site programming with existing citizen science projects. This project is focused on applications of citizen science at Trout Lake (John Hendry Park) in Vancouver, but lessons learned could be applied more broadly to inform future bird habitat restoration, public education, and landscape monitoring approaches in urban areas.

The Distributed Museum

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: The world of iconic art museums designed by starchitects creates isolated fantasy worlds and prioritizes capitalistic governance while furthering urban inequalities. Looking critically at the proposal for Vancouver Art Gallery I intend to disrupt modern art museum design and provide an alternative community based model. The distributed museum system is built of locally integrated hubs that provide access to world class art and the local creative experience. I keep the Vancouver Art Gallery at its current location and integrate its stored collection into Vancouver Public Library locations across the city. By doing so, I prioritize local community over an iconic tourist trap. Instead of giving Vancouver a tourist destination lets give it a community to build on.

description: Background: Fixation of the coracoid during the Latarjet procedure can be performed with either unicortical or bicortical fixation. There is no clear evidence that the number of cortices fixed affects graft union, but in vitro studies suggest bicortical fixation is desirable. The primary aim of the study was to retrospectively review the coracoid union rates in our Latarjet cohort who have undergone either unicortical or bicortical graft fixation. Methods: A retrospective review of Latarjet patients receiving bicortical or unicortical fixation was performed. The rate of coracoid graft union was assessed via radiographs and computed tomography scans at minimum 8 weeks postoperatively. Primary analysis for graft union was performed with Chi-squared and Fisher's exact tests. Results: A total of 184 patients were enrolled (82 bicortical, 102 unicortical) with 20 patients lost to follow-up. There was no significant difference between union rates of bicortical and unicortical groups (union rate: 94% bicortical, 98% unicortical, P =.25). There were no significant differences in rate of instability recurrence (P =.5) or other postoperative complications (P =.83) between the groups. Discussion: At a minimum follow-up of 8 weeks, bicortical fixation was not shown to have a higher rate of union than unicortical fixation. Performing unicortical fixation is an acceptable practice without compromising bony graft union.

description: Abstract: Because the proportion between the compressive strength of high-performanceconcrete (HPC) and its composition is highly nonlinear, more advanced regres-sion methods are demanded to obtain better results. Super learner models,which are based on several ensemble methods including random forest regres-sion (RFR), an adaptive boosting (AdaBoost), gradient boosting machine(GBM), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), light gradient boosting machine(LightGBM), categorical gradient Boosting (CatBoost), are used to solve thiscomplicated problem. A grid search method is employed to determine the bestset of hyper-parameters of each ensemble algorithm. Two super learnermodels, which combine all six models or select the top three effective ones asthe base learners, are then proposed to develop an accurate approach to esti-mate the compressive strength of HPC. The results on four popular datasetsshow significant improvement of the proposed super learner models in termsof prediction accuracy. It also reveals that their trained models always performbetter than other methods since their errors (MAE, MSE, RMSE) are alwaysmuch lower and values ofR2are higher than those of the previous studies. Theproposed super learner models can be used to provide a reliable tool for mix-ture design optimization of the HPC.
Productive Noise / Cityeater
Creators: name: Jin, James
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: The legacy of the modernist project exists in the continued pursuit of centralized and homogenous orders. Such orders relentlessly self-assemble in a void of Silence, stripping the world of difference and discrete realities. Operating extensively alongside the cross-disciplinary theories of Michel Serres, this thesis is a series of investigations into the logic and role of Noise in architecture and its overlap with the social, urban, formal, and cultural spheres. At its core a critique of the conservative and unchallenged preference for Silence, this project reconsiders Noise as both the inter-ference and inter-mediary fundamental to the emergence of Sound, rather than grounds for its dysfunction.

Year: 2025

description: Urban loneliness among seniors remains an overlooked mental health issue in post-pandemic Canada. According to the Canadian City Parks Report 2024, only one-fourth of Canadian cities are well equipped with outdoor park programs to support seniors’ mental well-being. This project proposes a senior-friendly design toolkit to transform 9 underused mini-parks—originally built as traffic barriers in the 1980s—into therapeutic spaces. These redesigned parks will offer nearby, calming environments that foster social connection and nature engagement for low-income, mobility-limited elderly individuals in adjacent high-rises. Jervis St Park is selected as an example to illustrate the application of the toolkit.

description: This study examines the response of women to disruptions caused by COVID-19 in small-scale fisheries (SSF) in the Gulf of Guinea (GOG). It interrogates the concept of resilience and its potential for mitigating women’s vulnerability in times of adversity. We define resilience as the ability to thrive amidst shocks, stresses, and unforeseen disruptions. Drawing on a focus group discussion, in-depth interviews with key informants from Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana and Nigeria, and a literature review, we highlight how COVID-19 disruptions on seafood demand, distribution, labour and production acutely affected women and heightened their pre-existing vulnerabilities. Women responded by deploying both negative and positive coping strategies. We argue that the concept of resilience often romanticises women navigating adversity as having ‘supernatural’ abilities to endure disruptions and takes attention away from the sources of their adversity and from the governments’ concomitant failures to address them. Our analysis shows reasons for “ocean optimism” while also cautioning against simplistic resilience assessments when discussing the hidden dangers of select coping strategies, including the adoption of digital solutions and livelihood diversification, which are often constructed along highly gendered lines with unevenly distributed benefits.

description: Sulle pagine culturali del quotidiano La Repubblica, il giorno 31 gennaio 2016, è stata pubblicata una lunga intervista del caporedattore del settore, Antonio Gnoli, al regista Umberto Lenzi. L’autore di raffinati libri intervista (per lo più “conversazioni”) con alcune delle figure più influenti del panorama letterario e culturale europeo – da Bruce Chatwin a Edoardo Sanguineti, da Ernst Junger a Albert Hoffman – si relaziona con il regista di film come Agente 008 operazione Sterminio (1965), Spasmo (1974), Gatti rossi in un labirinto di vetro (1975), Il trucido e lo sbirro (1976) e Cannibal Ferox (1981) e così lo presenta: “Regista cult dei B movie italiani, sceneggiatore, scrittore. Dalla provincia toscana a Hollywood, l’autore italiano più amato da Tarantino si confessa”. La situazione e l’accumulo delle categorie utilizzate, esplicitamente o implicitamente, fanno pensare ad un vero e proprio cortocircuito tardo-postmodernista (l’Autore che omaggia il B movie come repertorio dal quale ha attinto i materiali della sua arte e così facendo lo eleva ad una sorta di B-1 o A-2 movie, legittimandolo culturalmente su base genetica, istituendo una parentela). A partire da qui, ovvero dall’uso che viene fatto, nei discorsi critici attuali, del concetto di “cinema di serie B”, si ritiene valga la pena provare a ricostruire le traiettorie della traslazione del termine “B movie” dal contesto d’origine, Hollywoodiano, nel quale è stato coniato, a quello italiano, dove ha assunto valenze assiologiche o puramente descrittive, dispregiative o elogiative, a seconda della contingenza simbolica nella quale è stato (e continua ad essere) chiamato in causa.

description: In animate worlds, many layers of existence are accepted and allowed to persist and intertwine, as everything—from the earth, inanimate objects, plants, and celestial bodies—is allowed its own enigmatic existence as other beings. What can we learn from this perspective of treating everything as alive and intertwined in conscious conversation? What does it mean to be “alive” in an interconnected and interdependent world? And how can this perspective of a fully “alive” world translate itself into our architecture? By diving deeper into this question of what it means to be “alive,” can other ways of being be understood, uncovered, and seen as equally valid in their experience and expression? This is a voyage into the realms of what our current frameworks have neatly defined as our “other” and proposes novel ways of interrelating and entering into conversation with the non-human elements that exist among us. This work will propose new methods for architectural site engagement that seek to honour and foster a deep respect for the agency of our world’s “others” by journeying through the senses, honouring the embodied experience, and employing heightened perceptual attunement. This approach aims to create space—a gap—that can be offered to the non-human and left to be filled in and exist on its own terms.
Between Here and There : a belonging of people and place
Creators: name: Ugalino, Algine Lois
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia

description: As city developments continue to reshape Vancouver’s urban fabric, the spaces where diasporic communities gather, share, and sustain their cultural identities are increasingly at risk of erasure. This project proposes a Filipino Storytelling Centre in Joyce-Collingwood, a neighbourhood deeply tied to Vancouver’s Filipino diaspora, as a space dedicated to the expression, preservation, and transmission of Filipino identity. Rooted in the understanding that storytelling extends beyond oral and written traditions, the Centre embraces language, food, shared experiences, and nostalgia as integral forms of cultural expression. By creating a formalized yet adaptive space, this project ensures that Filipino stories, whether passed down through intergenerational conversations, culinary traditions, or everyday interactions, remain woven into the city’s evolving identity.

Folded Interface

description: This project critically examines the foundation of virtual space in architecture connecting it to colonial methods of mapping and spatial abstraction. It extrapolates from these findings to define how this foundation affects the architectural design process by an investigation into contemporary design tools, tracing the transition from analog, orthographic drawing practices to the telemetry-based workflows of the digital era. Drawing on John May’s assertion that architecture today is shaped by digital elements rather than mechanical gestures, the project explores how digital tools have redefined both architectural representation and the profession’s relationship to material reality. The work confronts the alienation fostered by computational design and advocates for an architecture that embraces complexity, information richness, and the emotional dimensions of space. Rooted in the critiques of Fernando Lara and Elizabeth Grosz, the project urges a reexamination of the philosophical foundations of digital space, challenging architecture to develop tools and practices that foreground relationality, community, and lived experience.

PEAT/TIME
Creators: name: Parry, Mackenzie
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: Peatlands make up 3% of the world's land surface but store 30% of all terrestrial carbon in their soils due to organic matter accumulation, making them significant carbon sinks. They host a unique habitat for plants that thrive in soggy, oxygen-poor conditions, and as these plants go through cycles of life and decay, they contribute to the slow accumulation of peat—accumulating and forming through deep time. Burns Bog is the largest raised bog on the West Coast of the Americas, located in Delta, BC, adjacent to the Fraser River. Extractive colonial timescapes have drastically altered the ecology of the bog and restricted Indigenous relations to the land. This project examines how designers can make a visible timescape of non-human processes within damaged and altered ecologies. How can ritual and community deepen the network of care for such places? Thickening our understanding of burns bog and what care within a peat timescape can look like by fostering a deeper connection to the land through ritual and community-building experiences.

description: Background: Most studies examining survival of neonates with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) are in high-income countries. We aimed to describe the management, survival to hospital discharge rate, and factors associated with survival of neonates with unilateral CDH in a middle-income country. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical notes of neonates with unilateral CDH admitted to a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) in a tertiary referral center over a 15-year period, from 2003–2017. We described the newborns’ respiratory care pathways and then compared baseline demographic, hemodynamic, and respiratory indicators between survivors and non-survivors. The primary outcome measure was survival to hospital discharge. Results: Altogether, 120 neonates were included with 43.3% (52/120) diagnosed antenatally. Stabilization occurred in 38.3% (46/120) with conventional ventilation, 13.3% (16/120) with high-frequency intermittent positive-pressure ventilation, and 22.5% (27/120) with high frequency oscillatory ventilation. Surgical repair was possible in 75.0% (90/120). The overall 30-day survival was 70.8% (85/120) and survival to hospital discharge was 66.7% (80/120). Survival to hospital discharge tended to improve over time (p > 0.05), from 56.0% to 69.5% before and after, respectively, a service reorganization. For those neonates who could be stabilized and operated on, 90.9% (80/88) survived to hospital discharge. The commonest post-operative complication was infection, occurring in 43.3%. The median survivor length of stay was 32.5 (interquartile range 18.8–58.0) days. Multiple logistic regression modelling showed vaginal delivery (odds ratio [OR] = 4.8; 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.1–21.67]; p = 0.041), Apgar score ≥ 7 at 5 min (OR = 6.7; 95% CI [1.2–36.3]; p = 0.028), and fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) < 50% at 24 h (OR = 89.6; 95% CI [10.6–758.6]; p < 0.001) were significantly associated with improved survival to hospital discharge. Conclusions: We report a survival to hospital discharge rate of 66.7%. Survival tended to improve over time, reflecting a greater critical volume of cases and multi-disciplinary care with early involvement of the respiratory team resulting in improved transitioning from PICU. Vaginal delivery, Apgar score ≥ 7 at 5 min, and FiO2 < 50% at 24 h increased the likelihood of survival to hospital discharge.

Un fatto imperfetto: La Macchina drogata di Vincenzo Agnetti

Subjects: progetto; linguaggio; convenzione; devianza; ribaltamento

description: Dopo un periodo in cui, giovanissimo, si dedica alla pittura informale e alla poesia, Vincenzo Agnetti (1926-1981) si lega al gruppo e alla rivista milanese Azimuth, pubblicando scritti di estetica e critica d’arte, basilari per l’elaborazione futura del suo lavoro, incentrato, a partire dal 1967, su l’arte e il linguaggio. L'antinomia, la cancellazione, la negazione, sono i fondamenti delle sue opere, secondo un atteggiamento dubitativo nei confronti della realtà cui l’artista applica la devianza come accesso a nuove esplosioni di significato. «Ho sempre discusso e scritto sulle cose che non funzionano perché era l'unico modo valido per chiudere il discorso arte-estetica» - scrive Agnetti - e definisce l’arte come «fenomeno di scelte» pari alla politica e le scienze e, come tale, coinvolto nel presente e indirizzato alla creazione di oggetti da intendersi quali «rammentatori» di processi di pensiero. Il mio contributo intende analizzare la pratica dell’artista basata sull'esercizio degli spazi fallaci delle logica e dei codici, soffermandosi su alcuni lavori tra cui La macchina drogata (1969) e la serie delle opere che da questa ‘derivano’ (Semiosi, Dissolvenze, Comete, Aritmetiche), mettendoli in relazione con il contesto socio-culturale con particolare riferimento alle ricerche dell’area concettuale e della Poesia concreta, impegnate in una ri-funzionalizzazione del linguaggio, dalla scrittura alla tecnologia. La Macchina drogata, costruita modificando una calcolatrice Divisumma Olivetti, sostituendo i numeri con delle lettere, è l’artefice di un combinarsi imprevedibile di sillabe. Secondo l’assunto per cui la somiglianza riafferma la differenza, l’aspetto della macchina, come pure la funzione di produrre segni, rimangono pressoché identici a quelle delle calcolatrici prodotte in serie, a cambiare è il contenuto. Il tradimento del codice numerico ribalta l’identità e lo scopo del mezzo tecnologico come pure la dinamica dell’aritmetica dei numeri, spezzando ogni consuetudine fino a fare dell’oggetto-opera «un fatto imperfetto che tende a far prevalere l'attuale sul reddito assiomatico».

Cooking Architecture : Archiectural Flavours of the Pacific Northwest
Creators: name: Fishman, Graeme
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: Cuisine and architecture are both service industries, providing for the needs and wants of their respective clientele. Historical stylistic trends show aesthetic and ideological overlap between these two arts dating back millennia: where architecture was austere and pared back, so was the cuisine; when ornamentation prevailed, it did so in both disciplines. The clients of the preeminent architects or chefs of any given period generally shared the prevailing tastes, resulting in legible aesthetic periods. This relationship holds today as it has in the past, suggesting a potential for knowledge transfer between the two arts. With the emergence of west coast cuisine in the Pacific Northwest, a new culinary ethic rooted in regionalism, sustainability, and creative invention has taken root in the minds and on the plates of locals up and down the coast. The architectural opportunities to embody this stylistic movement are explored in depth for a project located near Vancouver’s Jericho Beach.

Year: 2025

description: Maplewood Flats is a wild bird conservation area in North Vancouver, BC located on the traditional, unceded territory of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation currently stewarded by the Wild Bird Trust. The site faces challenges from invasive species, soil contamination, and salt water inundation. This project aims to design: a site framework plan, native plant nursery, and coastal adaptation pilot projects. The intention behind these are to restore cultural practices and keystone species while fostering intergenerational knowledge transfer and self-determination. Ultimately, the project seeks to catalyze the adoption of its plan by the WBT.
