CHOREOGRAPHING ARCHITECTURE “To make visible how the world touches us.” -Maurice Merleau-Ponty M.Arch Thesis Supervisor: Dr. John Cirka Ryerson University, 2015

Our bodies are in constant dialogue with our built environment: we move to experience architecture, and in turn, are moved by its presence. Movement is intrinsically linked to the way we experience our buildings, yet the body in motion has not been acknowledged for understanding and conceiving architectural form. In this thesis, the phenomenon of kinesthetic empathy will be unleashed within the exploration of a choreographic architecture, where body, form and movement share an entangled relationship in the creation of an architectural composition. This approach investigates an architecture that embraces gestural and physiological behaviour for the development of a corporeal environment capable of stimulating and reawakening the mind and body. With the current technologies available for analyzing human movement, this investigation probes human kinesis as an external force for the formation of space, and thus, cultivates a new theory towards making architecture move — choreographing an architecture of kinesthetic empathy.

CHOREOGRAPHING ARCHITECTURE This project is designed to interact and respond to three distinctive environments that move the dweller, both physically and emotionally. These settings include the body being submerged underwater, positioned at the interface between water and air, and immersed within the sky above. The composition underwater is fluid and open, responding to the resistance of the waters; this condition allows space to be explored freely, stimulating the inhabitantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curiosity and imagination. At the interface of water and air, the architecture facilitates the convergence of both mediums, creating a tranquil environment for a moment of self-reflection and resting. Lastly, the summit of the structure opens up to the sky above, encouraging the dweller to daydream and wonder. In these three realms, the architecture engages with the environment above, below, and on the waterline, while allowing the inhabitant to experience these surroundings intimately.

SPATIAL MANIFESTATIONS OF THE HUMAN PSYCHE A Cognitive Approach Towards Design M.Arch Semester 2 Supervisor: Vincent Hui Supervisor: Miljana Horvat Ryerson University, 2014

A cognitive approach towards architecture will unleash a new frontier in contemporary architectural discourse; the emergence of a sensory environment designed to stimulate the human senses and provide neurological nourishment for building occupants. This research aims to revive the fractured relationship between mind, body and space through an exploratory study of architecture driven by neurological theories of aesthetic experience and environmental preference. With the foregoing in mind, a visual arts studio was designed using a spatial narrative derived from psychosocial values of space, coupled with a responsive exterior facade that generates variability in light, form and movement using computer interaction technologies. With the intent of furthering the dialogue between architecture and neuroscience, this investigation demonstrates how architects could manifest theories of psychology and neuroscience into built environments, and in turn, foster occupant well-being through spatial agencies in tuned with the human psyche.

SPATIAL MANIFESTATIONS OF THE HUMAN PSYCHE This project reveals a spatial narrative embodying the psychoÂsocial values of space including perceptual problem solving, biophilia, the creation of a hearth, coherency, mystery, enticement, prospect and refuge. The micro level bares the variability of light, form and movement articulated by a responsive exterior envelope; a facade comprised of sensing, actuation and control systems that acknowledge the occupant and change in real-time. The active skin consists of autonomous pneumatic silicone modules that expand and contract in response to body temperature, fostering the inhabitantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s increase or decrease of stimulus levels depending on the variation of light and form within the environment. Adaptive floors capable of reconfiguring itself for individual, collaborative work and exhibition are allocated in designated regions for the occupants to control. The intelligent building embraces a user-centric approach towards design that ignites human senses and encourages occupant well-being. Exterior View on Queen Street Form-Finding Tactics

NEUROMORPHIC ARCHITECTURE Animating Architecture M.Arch Semester 2 Supervisor: Vincent Hui Supervisor: Miljana Horvat Ryerson University, 2014

Architecture today is the death of change. Buildings are designed to remain static and unresponsive to its users, while humans favor for an infrastructure to perceive, adapt, and change in relation to each person’s idiosyncrasies. Neuromorphic architecture, a term coined by neuroscientist Michael Arbib, does not adhere to the classical architect’s “average man” but announces a space that is capable of conforming to the individuality of every occupant’s needs and desires. Yona Friedman first captured this very notion 50 years ago, and proclaimed that ‘infrastructure should be neither determined nor determining.’ Till this day, architects design with a determining force and fail to dishabituate buildings that are masked as monuments – a static punctuation in space.

As opposed to viewing buildings as objects, architects must begin to envision buildings as living organisms that adapt to its users and enhance their spatial experience through empathy. This form of neuromorphic architecture is derived from algorithms that support limitless possibilities of adaptation through ever-changing physical boundaries. Perhaps, undergoing the investigation of dance is ideal for understanding the boundless opportunities of an architecture that embodies kinesthetic empathy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the ability to stimulate the sensory system and experience related emotions merely through the observation of physical movement.

PLAY + INTERACT + DWELL “Construct a place not a space” M.Arch Semester 1 Supervisor: Dr. Ian Macburnie Supervisor: Maria Denegri Ryerson University, 2013

Play + Interact + Dwell is a housing project that embraces play, interaction and dwelling for orphaned children and families of Siloé, Cali, Colombia — a place and territory that welcomes its appropriation by inhabitants and their patterns of use. The design’s conceptualization and formalization was developed using the following basic principles: design for the everyday requirements of life in the informal settlements, ‘construct a place not a space’ by fostering a sense of belonging for the residents, create a kit of parts based on foreign and local techniques, and design with the children’s future in mind. This project is composed by foreign and local traditions including urban farming and bamboo construction methods (foreign), along with native materials and communal living (local). The building’s location considers the growth and development of children, maintaining a close proximity to primary and secondary education, as well as additional amenities including a community centre and medical facility.

Play + Interact + Dwell responds to the need for housing orphans within the densely populated informal settlements. This housing project is programmed for two family units and an orphanage using a flexible modular system; a design and construction method that allows this mixed housing typology to be implemented on any site within the community. The children and family units are constructed using bamboo wall modules designed for optimal passive ventilation, natural light penetration, shelving for storage and play for children. The wall components permit users to arrange their home according to their individual needs, desires and site specific environmental conditions.

BASEL PAVILION OF CULTURE The Basel Pavilion of Culture is a node in the city that embraces the natural environment, native materials of the adjacent regions and Baselâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cultural offerings. The design respects the existing foliage as the space carves around the trees and maintains their vertically through openings in the waffle frame roof. The visible elements of the Pavilion accentuate the existing pathways to create an elegant procession leading to the Tinguely Fountain and the Theatre of Basel. The gallery and reception areas cater towards both private and public events through the design of movable walls. The inner walls of the Pavilion are wood vertical members that open towards the interior courtyard or remain closed for private events. The bi-fold glass panels situated within each space permits further privacy and use of the space throughout the year.

HAZELTON LANES Revitalizing Toronto’s Urban Shopping Centre Kasian Architecture Interior Design & Planning Principal: Sheldon Catarino Senior Designer: Pochi Lu Junior Designer: Ashley Biren September 2011-2013

In 2011, international firm Kasian Architecture was awarded one of the most prestigious retail projects in the city of Toronto. Following a progressive residential influx within the affluent neighborhood of Yorkville, we were asked to revitalize Toronto’s luxury shopping centre that once attracted some of the world’s most distinguished retailers. Changes include revising all interior layouts for three levels of the mall, refurbishing interior and exterior finishes, redesigning the atrium, main condo lobby and exterior street presence. The objective of these changes was to restore the centre as community hub for residents, surrounding neighborhoods and visitors.

At Kasian Architecture, we wanted to capture the dynamic lifestyle of the residents and visitors through an animated storefront along Avenue Road. Hazelton Lane’s main entrance was framed with a LED facade that entices both pedestrians and those driving by to explore and experience inside a new era of high end retail. Whether approaching the mall from the north or south, the wide span street presence of Hazelton Lanes remains apparent; a canopy merges from the cantilevered second floor of the new addition, drawing a visual connection along the 500ft retail storefront.
