VMZINC® Releases Two-Part Video Interview with Canadian Architect Bernard Jin
Leading Provider of Zinc Products Launches Video Series Profiling Toronto-Based Teeple Architects’ Senior Associate on Career and Recent Projects.
Raleigh, NC, August 10, 2013 --(PR.com)-- VMZINC® -US (http://www.vmzinc-us.com/), a leading specialist in innovative zinc products manufactured and sold by the Building Products Unit of Umicore, has released a two-part video profiling Bernard Jin, B.E.S, B. Arch, OAA, MRAIC, senior associate at Teeple Architects., a Toronto-based architecture firm with a reputation for innovative design and exceptional service. In this video series, Jin discusses the firm’s work and design inspiration on the Stephen Hawking Centre at the Perimeter Institute of Theoretical Physics, located in Waterloo, Ontario.
The first video highlights and outlines Jin’s education at the University of Waterloo, where he received his architectural degree, as well as his tenure with Teeple Architects since joining the firm in 1996. With 20 years of architectural experience, principally on educational, community and recreational projects, nonprofit residential housing as well as urban design experience and international town and settlement plans, Jin credits the University of Waterloo for providing him with professional and hands-on experience prior to his graduation. Additionally, Jin describes his interest and passion for architecture.
The second part of the video concentrates on how Jin and his colleagues were able to provide the researchers and students at the Stephen Hawking Centre with a one-of-a-kind building project that will allow interaction and encourage dialogue among users as well as maintain separation for quiet research and independent study. Since the Centre was an addition to an existing building, Jin delves into the precautions they had to take when designing around another structure and the methods they used to construct what Jin considers the project of his lifetime.
