A Program for Dwelling: Private Studio Living
Develop a notional (conceptual) program for living, suitable for a private residence at the site selected in Sample Assignment 3.
Each student should develop a description of (1) dweller's character: defining in relationship to the site needs, desires, personality, and character; including his or her occupation.
The space program should include a description (written or visual) of:
+ Sleeping area
+ Eating and food preparation
+ Bathing area
+ Storage (as required)
+ Working area (specified for the dweller's occupation)
+ Furniture (specified for the dweller's activities)
+ Eating and food preparation
+ Bathing area
+ Storage (as required)
+ Working area (specified for the dweller's occupation)
+ Furniture (specified for the dweller's activities)
The dwelling should not exceed an area of 750 ft2.
Spaces may be multi-functional.

The intent of the assignment aims to explore how the individual person, site, and private living space interact with one another. If a public site has been chosen, imagine removing public interaction with the program to maintain the scope of this exploration.
Presentation:
Present your program in a series of sketches / diagrams investing the relationship between the spaces, and overall concept of for the synthesis of spaces. Supplement your concept analysis with sketches illustrating the spatial implications of the spatial sequence created, e.g. 3D interior / exterior sketches.

Kunibert Fisher, is an independent Canadian fisherman that contracts with Canfisco (The Canadian Fishing Company) located in Steveston Harbour.
Fisher graduated from the British Columbia Institute of Technology School of Transportation - Marine Engineering in 2008, and had built private fishing vessels for clients and personal business prior to starting his own fishing enterprise.
During the off-season, Fisher works with the Scotch Pond Heritage Cooperative in marine vessel restoration and craftsmanship.
FishIR's House: Fishing-In-Residence
The concept of the residence is to provide a private living space that can
dock and maintain a fishing vessel, while also enabling a fisherman
to rest, prepare, and perform the activities required for fishing.

Ivona Arta, is a Canadian artist working in interdisciplinary visual arts and sculptural installation.
She has exhibited in Canada and internationally. Arta graduated from the University of British Columbia Faculty of Arts in 2006, and has her work featured in public waterfront installations across British Columbia. In her current practice, Arta uses processes of data generation and organization to investigate structures of power interacting with water. Her work leads her to collaborate with communities, artists, and professionals in re-interpreting their work.

Kunibert Wright, is a Canadian artist and shipwright working in marine pleasure-craft craftsmanship.
Wright graduated from the British Columbia Institute of Technology School of Transportation - Marine Engineering in 2008, and has had private and public clients contract his work involving canoes, sailboats, and powered-vessels. Wright's time at the studio helped build professional development for aspiring shipwrights and encouraged conversations for responsible pleasure-craft operation.

MarIneRs: Marine-In-Residence
Each year, the City of Richmond’s Arts, Culture and Heritage Services department invites professional artists in all disciplines to begin residencies in studios to further their work and promote public engagement. This space will host adult professionals, artists, and cultivators working in 5 fields (port activity, sciences, marine design, food, arts) to further their work and encourage involvement and cooperation in marine activity and history.
The multi-purpose space is offered as an professional/artist residence/studio with rent 100% subsidized in exchange for artist-led community-engaged programming.
Professionals-in-residence can provide perspective to planning and development of their industries, helping the public understand and access the work in these fields.
(What is the port authority doing for food security? What is the current state of the Georgia Strait? How can I build my own canoe?) Community presentation space enables a platform to share ideas.
