After receiving his Masters of Architecture at Carleton University Toronto-based Tom Ngo stumbled upon a gouache paint set in a neighbor’s trashbin. By merging the medium with technical drafting Tom Ngo embarks on an exploration into the architectural absurd.

A Small Monument for People With 8 Arms
A design in tribute of people with 8 arms.  It comes complete with waving platform, monkey bars and a hall of hand cranks.

The Grass Grew There Mythically Tall
This drawing was constructed on the premise of altering the properties of grass and exploring the architectural implications.  In the spring when the grass grows long, the house peaks through the top of the greenery.   As the grass recedes in the winter, the underlying structure is revealed.

Ghost Town Precious
This construction combines the themes of permanence and the ephemeral.  Shoddily constructed with hints of integrity, the structure has a ghost-town quality.

The Swing-Set Houses
A pair of houses are attached to a large swing-set structure.  The houses share a communal circulation core and next door is an individual swing for one person.

The Long Commute
At a factory perched on three legs a lone worker makes a treacherous journey to work each day.

No Other Way
A dream house for a meat grinder collector.  The above building is constructed of four like facades presenting him a new home every time he arrives by balloon.  The structure below is a mental retreat from his constantly changing everyday.
