Studio Vantage 1.0 - Paradox sv STUDIO VANTAGE 1.0 - PARADOX University of Guelph SEDRD Landscape Architecture + Rural Planning + Capacity Development 2016 - 2017 par·a·dox /ˈperəˌdäks/ noun: paradox a situation, person, or thing that combines contradictory features or qualities. “the mingling of deciduous trees with elements of desert fora forms a fascinating ecological paradox” Studio Vantage from the University of Guelph School of Environmental Design and Rural Development is a student run journal that is published annually. This is the frst Issue and explores the idea of Paradox. In the context of design, landscape architecture & planning, Paradox is an idea that inspires designers to think outside the box, challenge norms and queston the way we think. “There are many paradox in nature, art and literature. Paradoxical thinking investgates boundaries between abstracton and representaton, fact and fcton, order and chaos. Throughout history, designers have been compelled to explore the contradictons of ambguity and truth (Art Magazine, 2010)” Studio Vantage provides multple vantage points to collaborate a multtude of professional disciplines and gives the opportunity for students to share their work, inspire and learn from one another.

This project has been driven to set a prototype for future high-tech company campuses within Silicon Valley to create highly fexible outdoor spaces that contribute to worker creatvity, health and happiness while also improving the local ecological adaptability. The paradox of this design is that it provides seamlessly transitonal indoor and outdoor spaces for work and play by combining technology and people with the diverse natural processes surrounding the project site. GOOGLE DISCOVERY PARK 3D CONCEPT PRINTS The concept for this project has been inspired by the local drainage channel network’s fractal paterns and sponge-like qualites. The design of this project re-interprets these natural paterns in a contemporary way that follows the theme of exploraton and discovery. 3 WORK NESTING PODS Hidden throughout the Discovery Gardens are several work nestng pods. They almost look like tasty Easter eggs that provide Googlers with an outdoor ofce space away from the ofce building. These nests are meant for restng and incubatng ideas in a more laid back, private and open atmosphere. GOOGLE DISCOVERY GARDENS 4 From Midnight to Dawn Hillary Eppel, 4th Year BLA, Capstone Project Although the most important locaton in the city of Owen Sound, ON, the harbourfront has been lef neglected and undervalued for years. At the same tme, a litle known fact about the city’s history is its positon as the last stop along the historical route of the Underground Railroad. From Midnight to Dawn is a design concept for a linear park along Owen Sound’s eastern harbourfront which commemorates the Underground Railroad, creatng visibility for both the city’s most important locaton and this incredible piece of its cultural history. The design concept portrays a journey. Through a series of nodes and transitonal stretches, the linear park uses concepts of serial vision and sculptural symbolism to create this journey-like experience for park users. Nodes and transitons feature sculptural elements, design materials, and site furnishings which allude to diferent as- pects of the Underground Railroad, educatng and invoking emotons in users as they move through the park. The fnal node, the Northern Lights Plaza, is the destnaton of the journey as travelers’ routes to freedom along the Underground Railroad were northbound. Through colourful glass sculptural elements, the plaza represents the Aurora Borealis and the hope and joy of a difcult journey’s end. 5 6 The River Run Center Julia Crane, 4th Year BLA, Capstone Project MASTER PLAN 7 It has to be one of the most interestng buildings in Guelph. For those who are unaware, it’s the only remaining building with a machine-stamped façade le in Canada, and was originally used as a pharmacy. It’s been boarded up and neglected for a good chunk of tme, but is currently covered in sca olding and is all set to host new tenants. While I love that the Petrie building is being refurbished, I adored it as a spooky abandoned storefront in the heart of the city’s downtown. It looks like something straight out of a Scooby Doo set, which is why I had to throw in some tacky 80’s 3-D efects. RIVER RUN This is a small selecton from my capstone project, dealing with the redesign of the park outside the River Run Centre in downtown Guelph. The paving patern was inspired by the way that water moves around rocks in the rapids of the adjacent Speed River. It also was used as a means of addressing the steep grading on the site, as some of the paving strips step down gradually towards the river. The perspectve shows of the ambient night lightng, mainly in the inground strip lightng that follows the ow of the lines. The spot is supposed to be casual, unprogrammed and fun. 8 BIG BEAR CREEK Emily Bowerman, 4th Year BLA, Capstone Project City of London,ON Proposed Big Bear Creek Community Thames River Regional Context SITE SUMMARY TRANSITION TRANSMIT The approach taken to landscape architecture .5km recoversThe BearTraditonal Creek EcologicalUrban Reserve Knowledge is located and appliesin ait infood a modern plain.

How I hate these jellyfish! They clone themselves when attacked and quickly multiply to overtake your screen. Having already bested this frustrating enemy multiple times during the last hour of play, I sigh and put down my Nintendo DS portable system. Despite what my colleagues and students might think, playing videogames for academic research is indeed hard work! Even if you don’t actively play videogames, you’ve likely heard the argument that classic Japanese games such as Space Invaders (1978) and Donkey Kong (1981) revitalized the North American gaming industry as it stood on the brink of collapse in the 1980s. These games, and others like it, continue to occupy a central place alongside manga (print comics) and animation within Japan’s transmedia ecosystem. Videogames are a pretty big deal in Japan: each year, over 250,000 people attend the annual Tokyo Game Show; Wi-Fi hotspots in Tokyo’s Akihabara electronics district allow passersby to download limited-edition content for their favorite portable games; Mario and Luigi appear on video quiz shows regularly broadcast throughout Tokyo subway cars; and the interactive urinal videogame developed by Sega known as Toylets (2011) even lets men compete in different mini games based on the volume and intensity of their pee.

  • Improving Health and Learning Through Better Water, Sanitation and Hygiene in Schools
    Improving health and learning through better water, sanitation and hygiene in schools AN INFORMATION PACKAGE FOR SCHOOL STAFF Abstract Access to safe and reliable water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) is a critical precondition for providing a safe school environment that supports equal opportunities for high-quality education and healthy development of children. To create WASH-friendly and health-promoting schools, common problems beyond the provision of proper WASH infrastructure – such as toilets and taps – need to be addressed. Operation and maintenance, education and persisting taboos, such as talking about toilet use and menstrual hygiene matters, need to be tackled. This information package offers practical support for school staff on how to address common WASH problems and deliver improvements at the school level, alongside pupils and the entire school community. It will help schools strengthen health education and implement whole-school policies that promote the health, well-being and dignity of pupils and school staff, making every school a health-promoting school.
