ROBERT FERGUSON

I'm a dual-degree MARCLA student studying architecture and landscape architecture at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. I currently hold a SSHRC Canada Graduate Scholarship, and a MARCLA Major Entrance Award.

I have 3+ years professional experience as a computational designer with IBI/Arcadis, where I developed advanced parametric models for equitable, sustainable urban systems.

While at school, I work as a graduate teaching and research assistant. Ongoing projects include an AI-integrated site-analysis teaching tool, and a study of spatial justice in urban parks.

I am currently investigating resource circularity and building-integrated agriculture as part of an applied research project led by Perkins&Will.

TRAENA DESIGN-BUILD

SUMMER 2023

Traena, Norway

University of Washington Design-Build

INSTRUCTORS: Daniel Winterbottom, Luka Jelusic
Over the course of three weeks, two pavilions, and several accompanying landscape elements, were designed and constructed on Traena, a remote Norwegian island just south of the Arctic Circle. Designed in collaboration with community (primarily children and teens), both kiosk and changing room express the artistic, alternative character of the island and its residents. A complementary duo, the pavilions at once evoke defiant maritime structures and washed-up, other-worldly sea creatures.
