A Case for the Unseen : New Perspectives of the Vancouver Streetscape
Creators: name: Berling, Chad
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: As Vancouver densifies, effective utilization of all public spaces is becoming necessary. Across the city, streetscapes at every scale serve as a foundation to provide public space that can be used by the entire community. Prioritization of public space to foster community requires a new understanding of how the spaces between buildings can be best designed. Alleyways represent an under-utilized public space with the potential to become vibrant, pedestrian-oriented, community hubs. This project explores the opportunities for reimagining alleyways as active urban spaces through intentional architectural and broader urban design strategies. By examining successful examples locally and internationally, the study highlights key approaches for integrating walkability, community interaction, and multi-functionality within narrow street conditions. The analysis emphasizes the importance of aligning ground-floor design with human-scale usability, fostering connections between public and private spaces. Drawing from established urban design principles, the classification underscores the role of thoughtful spatial planning in creating accessible, adaptable, and inclusive urban environments. Additionally, it reviews local regulations, zoning codes, and urban plans to identify both opportunities and constraints for alleyway revitalization. The designed sites demonstrate instances at three scales of density that can be applied across varying urban contexts in Vancouver, from dense city centers to mid-rise communities, and neighborhood corridors. The resulting design aims to inspire a shift in urban design perspectives, where alleyways are no longer seen merely as service spaces but as essential components of the city’s public realm, contributing to a more livable and connected urban fabric. Through the application of a design project, reorientation of the street network presents an opportunity to activate community spaces by reimagining how cities operate with pedestrians at the forefront. Through typological categories, the streetscape is used as an opportunity to enhance all spaces, encouraging pedestrians, cyclists, transit lines, and vehicles to share the public realm cohesively. The project is not meant as a single design for a single site, but a framework applied to the future of all urban spaces.

Designing Dying
Creators: name: Wong-Wylie, Iris
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: This project sets out to design a space specifically for Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), addressing a largely unexamined architectural typology: spaces for dying. Designing for death requires entering an uncomfortable mindset, as designers must confront mortality directly in order to consider how a space might hold, support, and honor the end of a life. This confrontation is not only necessary but generative: by understanding death, we can design with greater compassion and clarity for those approaching it. This booklet presents eight invitations as open-ended questions intended to guide the reader into a deeper, more intimate relationship with death. I have responded to each invitation through spatial drawings, which diagram the architectural implications of each question. These serve as a foundation for imagining what spaces for dying might require, both functionally and emotionally. In the design phase, I applied these insights to a real site, testing and grounding this speculative typology. The resulting design, which I have entitled the Deathspace, reflects my researched and personal understanding of death. It is attuned to the needs of the dying individual and their loved ones, offering space for presence, grief, and parting. The project concludes with a speculative gesture: the staging of my own hypothetical deathbed, as a final lens through which I interrogate my own relationship to mortality. Ultimately, this work proposes not only a new architectural typology, but also a broader, more human invitation: that by considering our own deaths we might come to live with greater depth and intention.
On Arrival : Rethinking Zoning and Land Use for Immigrant Communities
Creators: name: Viaje, Maria Angela
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: On Arrival reimagines zoning and urban design through the lens of immigrant experiences in Canada’s Arrival Cities. Rooted in personal memories of informal economies and multigenerational living in Surrey, BC, the project asks how built form can support the complex, adaptive ways newcomers live, work, and care for one another. Focusing on a two-hectare parking lot adjacent to Guildford Mall, the proposal introduces low-rise, mixed-use typologies that blur residential, commercial, and light-industrial uses. Rather than meeting density targets through tower-podium morphologies, it explores a more intimate and socially responsive form of density, grounded in flexibility, affordability, and cultural context. Through speculative design, On Arrival challenges the rigidity of North American zoning and reframes value not around real estate, but around the richness of daily life and community support.
The Anti-Disposables : A Call for Architecture with Inheritability
Creators: name: Kaizan, Iman Katherine
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: When architecture increasingly mirrors the fast culture of disposability, we are left with a built environment littered with consumable “products” rather than enduring vessels of cultural and social relevance, buildings whose values end at their aesthetic appeal in glossy magazines and their ability to seduce investors. Depth of social engagement, longevity, and meaningful connection to place become null and void. By speculative inquiry into creation and consumption, architecture should hold a position as an “inheritable” social artefact, establishing spaces that actively support cultural memory and reject the transience that characterises much of today’s urban fabric. Thus, the research utilises the CF Pacific Centre in Downtown Vancouver as a vessel for this framework, seeking to re-envision this innately consumerist typology as a repository of shared identity and collective meaning. It aims to change the trajectory of this “disposable” building where it positions itself as an “heirloom” worth inheriting; personal, grounded and enduring.

description: Aim: This rapid review of reviews aimed to determine the extent of research undertaken on the effectiveness of dietary interventions for individuals with a mental disorder. Methods: Three databases (MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Reviews and Cochrane Trials) were searched to February 2021 for systematic reviews including experimental studies assessing the effectiveness of dietary interventions with physical or mental health related outcomes in adults or children with one or more of: severe mental illness, depression or anxiety, eating disorders, or substance use disorder. Results are presented descriptively. Results: The number of included reviews was 46 (67% in severe mental illness, 20% in depression and anxiety, 7% in eating disorders, and 7% in substance use disorders). Most reviews were published since 2016 (59%), and included studies conducted in adults (63%). Interventions in the eating disorders and severe mental illness reviews were predominantly education and behaviour change, whereas interventions in the substance use disorders, and depression and anxiety reviews were predominantly supplementation (e.g. omega-3). Twenty-eight and twelve of the reviews respectively reported mental health and dietary outcomes for one or more included studies. Most reviews in severe mental illness, and depression and anxiety reported conclusions supporting the positive effects of dietary intervention, including positive effects on weight-related or mental health outcomes, and on mental health outcomes, respectively. Conclusions: A larger number of systematic reviews were identified which evaluated dietary interventions in individuals with severe mental illness, and depression and anxiety, compared with substance use disorders, and eating disorders. Dietary intervention is an important component of the treatment that should be available to individuals living with mental disorders, to support their physical and mental health.

Upstream, Again : A Salmon-Centered Urban Stream Restoration Strategy for Still Creek Watershed
Creators: name: Zhai, Ang
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: With the rapid urbanization of the Vancouver metropolitan area, natural hydrological systems have been severely disrupted. Streams have been buried and hardened, surface runoff intensified, and ecological corridors fragmented, resulting in reduced habitat quality, increased urban flood risk, and weakened ecological linkages between waterbodies, land, and life. The Brunette River-Burnaby Lake-Still Creek system was once an essential tributary for Pacific salmon migration and rearing within the Fraser River Basin. However, urban development has resulted in the burial of river channels, loss of salmon habitat, blockage of migratory pathways, and loss of natural shallows, deep pools, and vegetated floodplains in the river. This has further disrupted the ability of fish to migrate and weakened the cultural ties between Indigenous peoples and the water body. Upstream, Again focuses on Still Creek and its hydrological connections to Lake Burnaby and the Brunette River through daylighting, re-establishing a shallow-pool-turbulence system, and constructing stormwater -The project focuses on Still Creek and its hydrologic connections to Lake Burnaby and the Brunette River through daylighting, reconstruction of shallow pools and deep pools, construction of stormwater filtering wetlands, and shaping of waterfront cultural narratives. The project aims to restore salmon migration and ecological connectivity at the urban scale, enhance regional ecological diversity and climate resilience, and, in the long term, contribute to the sustainable revitalization of salmon populations and the reconstruction of urban ecology and culture.

description: Objective: In the Northern Territory, people who commit drink driving offences are required to undertake an approved course or treatment to be eligible for a driver's licence, however, course uptake is low. We investigated barriers to program uptake. Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews with 24 program attendees, course providers and government stakeholders. We used a framework analysis. Results: Program coverage in remote areas was limited, leading to inequitable access. The course cost affected uptake and exacerbated existing financial hardship. There were mixed views among government stakeholders on the program. While some held a view that offenders should ‘pay the price’, some also saw the user-pays model and high program cost as a clear barrier to accessibility. Conclusions: The data from this study demonstrate how the current delivery model for drink and drug driving education increases inequities for those in regional and remote areas, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Implications for public health: Moving away from the current user-pays model to a subsidised or free model may facilitate greater access. Online delivery may increase accessibility; however, consultation is required to ensure the program is delivered equitably with consideration of language, literacy, cultural factors and access to technology.

Thinking Outside the Box : Architectural strategies to optimize learning beyond the classroom walls
Creators: name: Rahemtulla, Azaan
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: This research investigates the development of universal spatial strategies - referred to as “ways” - that enhance educational environments for students aged 6 to 18. A “way” is a tangible design intervention, grounded in empirical research and psychological insight, intended to improve student learning and well-being. Each of the 90 spatial modifications identified in this thesis is mapped to a specific psychological response and validated with real-world case studies from educational settings around the world. These strategies are further assessed based on priority, cost, and adaptability to create a usable and scalable catalogue for designers and educators. The project begins by analyzing the anatomy of a school - spaces such as classrooms, corridors, cafeterias, and circulation - through five key lenses: safety and security, accessibility and inclusion, congregation and community, behavioural and cognitive development, and physical and emotional comfort. Drawing from frameworks such as Prakash Nair’s Neuroarchitectural Matrix, each spatial modification is linked to corresponding neurochemical outcomes, creating a multi-layered design methodology. To apply these strategies in a real-world setting, the thesis is grounded in the ongoing design of a school in Kikambala, Kenya. Collaborating with the founder and lead designer, the project engages a real site currently undergoing phased construction. Through twelve detailed architectural vignettes, the thesis explores how these “ways” can be meaningfully adapted to local constraints such as climate, budget, construction methods, and cultural practices. These vignettes are presented through an interactive open-source platform, where each spatial modification is linked to its corresponding psychological rationale and a precedent. Ultimately, this thesis proposes a globally informed yet context-sensitive approach to school design. It offers a structured, adaptable, and visually rich guidebook that illustrates how specific spatial modifications in learning environments elicit particular psychological responses. It reimagines schools not as static containers for education, but as spatial ecosystems that can shape how students learn, feel, and grow.

The Outport Masque
Creators: name: Boone, Nora
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: Mummering is a common masking tradition in Newfoundland and Labrador, practiced in the many contemporary and resettled outports that populate the island’s coastline. Drawing from historic and contemporary political and social conditions in outport Newfoundland, The Outport Masque imagines a floating festival, inspired by the practice of mummering, that travels to different outport communities, inciting a temporary performing arts industry. This thesis seeks to understand and conceptualize the practice of mummering in relation to typical social and spatial order in outport Newfoundland. Drawing from folklore, psychology, material culture, and sociology, this work first conceptualizes the cognitive, social, and spatial patterns of mummering: temporality, inversion and reversal of the typical, exaggeration, imitation, collage, and performance, and studies common outport typologies as sites of intervention. This work explores how the conceptual patterns of mummering may be applied architecturally, to generate a contemporary outport Newfoundland architecture that reflects local history, folklore, culture, and art.
Berth 5 : An Argument for Landscape Design in Active Industrial Landscapes
Creators: name: McKenna, David
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: Landscape architects have demonstrated their ability to design in polluted and extractive landscapes through post-industrial landscape design. However, heavy industries continue to exist, pollute ecologies, displace wildlife and vulnerable people across the globe, albeit now far from the public eye. Yet these landscapes ultimately provide the foundational resources for human needs, comfort and culture. While de-carbonization of these landscapes is essential (yet outside the scope of landscape architecture) in the context of climate change, it over-simplifies the industrial ecosystems in which they exist. A de-carbonized future still requires extraction, processing and management of material streams. This graduate project outlines why landscape architect’s need to shift their focus to working heavy industrial landscapes. It reviews ways that landscape architects have begun to address these types of spaces and ultimately argues that both industry and designers need to be involved to find truly holistic solutions for industrial systems. Ultimately it highlights that more collaboration and understanding is required between industrial stakeholders, designers, and the public. The design portion of this project uses the iconic sulphur stockpiles of Metro Vancouver’s North Shore to foster this collaboration. Sulphur’s significance in both natural and industrial systems suggest human distinctions between these landscape require reevaluation. The design proposal displays ecological and industrial processes in on cohesive landscape, and invites the public to satisfy their existing curiosity of the sulphur piles, stand in awe at the scale of site features, and ultimately come away with a greater understanding of how integrated industrial landscapes are in our lives. Ultimately this project aims to inspire further collaboration between designers and industrial stakeholders. By implementing a project in a highly visible crucial node in the industrial fabric, subsequent system wide collaboration may become possible.
Bring Back the City
Creators: name: Sarzynski, Victor F.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: Bring Back the City explores strategies to tackle Canada’s housing and urban development challenges, with a particular focus on Winnipeg as its case study. Recognizing the city’s harsh climate as a crucial factor in urban design, the project highlights how continual suburban expansion exacerbates infrastructure strain, social isolation, and car-dependent planning—issues that are especially problematic in cold-weather environments. By analyzing Winnipeg’s historical housing trends and contemporary urban issues, Bring Back the City underscores the need for housing density and urban redevelopment tailored to winter city living. Through sustainable and inclusive strategies, it advocates for revitalizing the city centre, fostering more walkable, connected, and climate-resilient communities that embrace Winnipeg’s winter identity while promoting a more vibrant and sustainable urban future.

SOLARPUNK : Recovering the lost art of landscape architecture
Creators: name: Liu, Laura
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: This project explores the role of landscape architecture in addressing contemporary environmental challenges through a speculative lens. As a Master of Landscape Architecture student with an undergraduate background in urban forestry, I bring a multidisciplinary approach that integrates ecological, social, and urban considerations. The focus of my work is on enhancing biodiversity and climate resilience within both urban and rural landscapes, creating spaces that support wildlife habitats, mitigate climate impacts, and improve human well-being. Throughout my graduate studies, I have developed a diverse skill set in hand drawings, digital visualizations, and geospatial analysis, using these tools to communicate complex design ideas effectively. My approach emphasizes the creation of accessible narratives that translate technical concepts into meaningful, visually engaging representations. By combining these methods, I aim to communicate the ecological and social value of design, with a focus on urban sustainability. My thesis project seeks to engage the broader public with the profession of landscape architecture, demonstrating its potential to address urgent environmental issues. By exploring placemaking in a speculative context, while also responding to real-world challenges, the project encourages a deeper understanding of how landscape architecture can shape spaces that empower communities, foster connections, and promote a sustainable future. This work aims to spark curiosity about the profession and inspire others to see the transformative potential of landscape architecture in creating resilient and inclusive environments.

Content Farming
Creators: name: Porter, Tara
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: The recent Internet trends and aesthetics of cottagecore and homesteading influencers signify a renewed interest in deurbanization, self-sufficiency, and domestic tasks like homemaking and crafting. Through the creation of a speculative community of influencers, this project draws attention to the duality and contradictions of this cultural phenomenon by mirroring or doubling architectural elements, and inserting social media content production programming into rural farmhouse and barndominium typologies. Mirroring is performed as a way to spatialize how this form of content production affects the rural domestic space, and is also used to represent the contrasts of physical/virtual, rural/urban, self-sufficient/supported, posting/consuming, and more. The axis of mirroring gains thickness in areas of content production to make space for unseen staging, equipment, and camera angles.

description: HPV transcriptional activity is a key factor affecting the development of cervical cancer. Although a large number of literature have reported that the transcriptional activity of HPV oncogenes E6 and E7 affects the biological behaviors of cervical cancer, the mechanism of the effect of HPV E6 or E7 on microenvironmental immune cells is still unclear. Exosomes (EXOs) are vesicle bodies with 30-100nm diameter, which were first discovered by Pan JS in 1983. Numerous studies have shown that exosomal miRNAs regulate the immune microenvironment by targeting various immune cells and cytokines. However, the effect of exosomal miRNAs on cervical immune microenvironment has not been reported. Therefore, the exosomal miRNAs derived from HPV E6+ CESC cells were explored to construct the interaction between HPV E6+ cells and macrophages.

description: Landing manoeuvres are an integral task for humans, especially in the context of sporting activities. Such tasks often involve landing on one leg which requires the coordination of multiple muscles in order to effectively dissipate kinetic energy. However, no prior studies have provided a detailed description of the strategy used by the major lower limb muscles to perform single-leg landing. The purpose of the present study was to understand how humans coordinate their lower limb muscles during a single-leg landing task. Marker trajectories, ground reaction forces (GRFs), and surface electromyography (EMG) data were collected from healthy male participants performing a single-leg landing from a height of 0.31 m. An EMG-informed neuromusculoskeletal modelling approach was used to generate neuromechanical simulations of the single-leg landing task. The muscular strategy was determined by computing the magnitude and temporal characteristics of musculotendon forces and energetics. Muscle function was determined by computing muscle contributions to lower limb net joint moments, GRFs and lower limb joint contact forces. It was found that the vasti, soleus, gluteus maximus and gluteus medius produced the greatest muscle forces and negative (eccentric) mechanical work. Downward momentum of the centre-of-mass was resisted primarily by the soleus, vasti, gastrocnemius, rectus femoris, and gluteus maximus, whilst forward momentum was primarily resisted by the quadriceps (vasti and rectus femoris). Flexion of the lower limb joints was primarily resisted by the uni-articular gluteus maximus (hip), vasti (knee) and soleus (ankle). Overall, our findings provide a unique insight into the muscular strategy used by humans during a landing manoeuvre and have implications for the design of athletic training programs.
Does organic farming lead to higher returns to education? Using the raising of the school leaving age as a quasi-experiment

subject: regression discontinuity design

description: This paper examines the farmer's return to education differentiating between organic and conventional farming. By using the 1972 Raising of the School Leaving Age in England and Wales as a quasi-experiment with a Regression Discontinuity Design, we identify a causal relationship for the farmer's return to education on farm economic performance. Using data from a sample of English farms between 2011 and 2018 from the Farm Business Survey, we show: (i) a positive return to education on farm performance (ii) a higher education return in organic farming in comparison with conventional farming.

description: How can designers look beyond the narrow human-centered perspective of ocean architecture? The sea has remained a critical gap in the imagination of western academia. Its vast, powerful, and seemingly infinite waters have been misunderstood, misrepresented, and approached with a focus on human desires rather than environmental balance. This prioritization has led to designs that undervalue and underestimate the immense power of this natural force. It is pertinent that designers shift their perspective – recognizing that the ocean is not something to be controlled but must be engaged with harmony, humility, and respect. These western practices stand in stark contrast to the story of my grandparents who spent over a year drifting on the West Philippine Sea to seek refuge from the Japanese Imperial Army during World War II. It is their story of survival that shaped my family’s generational understanding of water. Through wisdoms learned from the traditional dugout canoe of the Philippines, the bangka, I intend to foster rituals of intention that cultivate a deeper experience and connection with the ocean.

Learning From The Redesigned : Takeaways From Unauthored And Emergent Spaces
Creators: name: Fernandes, Jace Marc
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: This thesis investigates the phenomenon of "redesigned spaces," informal environments that emerge in response to unmet human needs, shaped and defined by the people who inhabit them. Unlike common architectural typologies, redesigned spaces are fluid, and dynamic, arising from a blend of resilience, necessity, and creativity. Through analyzing case studies in the UAE, East Los Angeles, and Hong Kong, this research explores how diasporic communities transform underutilized urban spaces into vibrant social and cultural hubs, creating subcultures that are neither entirely imported nor assimilated. The study identifies key components of redesigned spaces: the built environment as a neutral canvas, catalysts that activate use, and the diasporic contexts that influence form and function. It highlights their ephemeral, adaptable nature and their ability to fulfill complex human needs that traditional architecture often overlooks. Finally, a speculative fictional sequence is used to examine how an abandoned site in Vancouver might be occupied and transformed over time. By simply removing barriers and fences, spontaneous activities might emerge, exposing how public space functions beyond formal regulations. This study highlights the value of observing unplanned urban dynamics, questioning how existing by-laws shape, limit, or enable meaningful interactions. Ultimately, it proposes a new tool for architectural design approaches-one that learns from, rather than imposes upon, the organic evolution of space.
