HUB-Ottawa

This project was a design build installation at HUB Ottawa located on 71 Bank St. Hub Ottawa is one of several non-profit co-operative organizations located in major cities throughout the world. This global network of organizations is focused on community engagement initiatives and relationships that address social and environmental challenges. The project is inspired by the parallels between the underlying themes of the research and those of the global and local HUB initiative.  The project was developed along with the Structural Morphology Workshop which was inspired by global commonalities, connections, and their expressions through human cultural artifacts. Envisioned as an integrative network and support structure, the installation would be in resonance would the open concept and inclusiveness of its environment. As a woven structure would bands of birch plywood as the generative cellular unit, the interwoven network reflects its material capabilities and properties while simultaneously responding and adapting to its setting. The modulating patterns, with their configurations and inter-connected parts are envisioned as metaphors for the HUB’s collective social initiatives and their equivalent parallels within the multicultural diversity of the Canadian setting.
