A4 – Remi Landry Yuan

Sketch of site. CBY building at UOttawa, looking to examine the relationship between the different options of circulation and relation to perception of ground level.
West Elevation of the building. We can begin to see the difference between the upper entry and lower entry, with car and road access.
Axonometric drawing mapping an imaginary dividing plane between the main floor and the lower level (street level)
Water irrigation done through series of rooftop drains. The plan provide a view of the main circulation from the campus on the north, and the secondary circulation from the adjacent neighborhoods to the east.
Long Elevation showing the relationship of the building to the rest of the campus topography. With the dip in the path from the north side, pedestrians perceive the main entrance (above street level) to be the lowest level.
In this section, we can see that the open area at the main entrance is covered in grass, serving as a method of water irrigation and further pushing perception of it being the lowest level.
Full site plan. Red circulation indicates paths from main campus, where the main entrance is perceived as the lowest level. The gray dotted circulation comes from the neighborhoods and street side, perceiving this main entrance as the second level.
Long section demonstrating the variance in topography.

Stormwater study in Nest at UBC Oct. 6th 2020

Sections show the stormwater collection system in Nest.
When I walked in the building, I found out the stormwater pipeline runs on the ceiling of the main floor. Also, the direction is from upstairs to two directions, West and East. One pipe is connected with downstairs from a pizza restaurant, another connects with the ceiling of RBC and directs to the exterior.

  • West exit with open lawn area
  • East exit with stores

In class study of drainage system

The black points show the pipe areas which connect with the gutters.

Map 1: Movement in Garry Point Park

Areas of Interest: After observing for a 30 minute period I noticed that the flight paths of birds in the park tended to concentrate in the north end (Area of Interest #1, top of page). The north end also experienced considerably less pedestrian traffic than the south end (Area of Interest #2, bottom of page). Perhaps the birds targeted area of interest #1, due to there being less pedestrian traffic…or were there other potential reasons?… (see Map #2).

Map 2: Movement in Garry Point Park with added features

Areas of Interest: Map 2 includes the added features of the locations of all trees and buildings within the park. In the second 30 minute period of observation, the flight paths of birds continued to predominantly concentrate at the north end of the park (Area of Interest #1, top of page). The north end not only experienced less pedestrian traffic than the south end (Area of Interest #2, bottom of page), but also has a much greater concentration of trees and the only 3 buildings in the park. As such, it is likely that the trees and buildings (perching spots/spots to rest) are reasons for why there was a heavy concentration of flying birds in the north end throughout my time in the park.

In the second 30 minute period, however, I also witnessed a cluster of flying birds in the southeast end (Area of Interest #2). The main reason why birds were attracted to this area this time around was because a man was feeding them food out of the garbage can.
