My Back Yard: Banff National Park
About me
I'm an Architectural Technologist, a graduate of BCIT in 2002. I've worked for both large and small Architectural Firms in Vancouver and now Calgary. My family and I moved to Calgary 4 years ago. I'm 34 with a wife of 10 years, Wakako (Japanese) and we have 2 children, Hibiki and Leia. I love art in it's many forms, sports, the great outdoors and good times with family and friends. One of my goals is to complete the RAIC Syllabus program and become a registered Architect.

UBC Irving K. Barber Learning Centre
Memorable Project - UBC Irving K. Barber Learning Centre
Project Experience: UBC Irving K. Barber Learning Centre, Vancouver, BC
Architectural Firm: DA Architects and Planners, Vancouver BC.
The Irving K. Barber Learning Centre at the University of British Columbia involved the renovation of the original 1925 Library (the Heritage Core), the demolition of all subsequent additions, and 200,000 square feet of new construction. The project was designed in association with Los Angeles architectural firm HHPA. The result is a 21st-century learning centre for the university and the wider provincial community. In addition to the traditional library collection, storage, and seating, the building includes a range of academic units, classrooms and lecture theatres, collaborative project rooms, learning and technology resources, and a community concourse. It also features an innovative automatic storage and retrieval system, with a capacity of 1.4 million volumes. There is a climate-controlled vault for rare books and archives, four reading rooms, gallery space and a flexible interior seating for over 1,500 study seats, classrooms, theatre and a Cafe. The building design captures light and offers a tranquil and relaxing space to study.

In my MEd capstone I used the way old and new buildings had been harmoniously combined in the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre at UBC as a metaphor for combining face-to-face and e-learning.
