Ojo Norte is a Passive House featuring an in novative yet low-tech construction system. The walls are made up of Structural Insulated Panels with a straw bale insulation. These can be pre-assembled and built much faster than a regu lar stick frame while re ducing the amount of wood and its thermal bridging. The embodied carbon and energy of the project are very low,

5 compounding with the energy savings offered by the insulation. Finally, straw bale and the lime and clay plaster we em ployed regulate humid ity to maintain optimal comfort levels. This project was de signed and built in a col laborative way through a group I helped form, the Future-Living Lab, a joint effort between archi tecture students from Ryerson University and the University of Toron to as well as engineering students from the Uni versity of Toronto. This approach allowed me to particiate in the engin eering, permit application, and building of the project as well as meet ing and consulting vari ous professional firms such as SustainableTO, Blackwell Engineering, and Russel Richman Consulting.

This, combined with the sensitive users’ demographic, lead the architecture to resem ble a family home rather than an orphanage.

Bellavista is an equestrian training centre in northern Italy. The clerestory window running along the centre of the building provides an inviting atmosphere.

This community centre is located on the site of an old stone quarry in Montreal. This history along with the building’s water-focused program, inspired the materials, tectonics, and formal concept of the project.
The building’s art exhib ition space continues into a central gallery which links together all the spaces, and is com posed of monumental rammed earth walls. With its deep recessed entrances, the space feels like a canyon, eroded by water or dug by humans. In the cen tral gallery space, a long series of skylights and glass edges on the floor bathe the wall in light, highlighting its texture and visually increasing its height. The rammed earth material serves as an internal thermal mass, to regulate the humidity caused by the swimming pool, and to acoustically insulate the theatre, creating a cavelike performance space. This project was com pleted in the context of the Master’s comprehensive studio under the supervision of Ser gio Morales.

The research from the previous spread as well as the choice of my thesis’ site brought me to imagine architecture as an agent of bio-re mediation not through a particular technol ogy but through a pro cess of growing, trans forming, maintaining and care from human and non-human actors alike. The site of this re mediative landscape is near the town of Amos, Qc, in between the paper factory, the plywood fac tory, and the other indus tries specialized in wood products and construc
tion. This area is highly polluted and used as a dumping ground for the waste from these indus tries and its landscape is also marked by train tracks and electrical infrastructure. Through this area runs a stream whose water becomes very polluted as it ends up in the Harricana river. This pollution is espe cially concerning as the pride of Amos is its ex ceptionally pure water, filtered by a nearby es ker. A guest critic, resi dent of the town, told me that he spent his sum mers playing with water and mud with his kids. This project is thus an ode to mud, to the molds, bacteria, and microoor ganisms that digest our pollution. Through the smart reuse of our waste, and seasonal in volvment from the com munity, we can achieve a cleaner environment for human and non-human beings.

The project imagines trails that run along the waterways as a con structed network of mycelia that acts as a biological piece of infr structure filtering runoff water before it arrives at the river. This is sup plemented by phytore meditive plants to cre ate a real wetland park. These wetlands can be accessed with a mod ular walkway to which filtering pavilions can be easily attached. These have a metal structure of perforaded columns get filled with substrate inoculated with whiterot fungi; for ideal grow ing conditions, these are surrounded by a screen made from rejected wood from the nearby sawmill. The inoculat ed mycelium being all genetically identical, it will link as it grows, col onizing the whole struc ture down to the water. Its mushrooms will bio accumulate heavy met als and it will release enzymes breaking down ligning and pollution into the water. These pa vilions become a piece of living architecture that visually show the health of the wetland.

This pavilion is easily disassembled is the late fall when the mycelium loses its filtering abil ities due to age. Its now hollow structure is used to dry the resulting my celium blocks, turning them into a construc tion material that is lightweight, fireproof and water-resistant. A new pavilion can then be built in its place, a sauna for the citizens to enjoy. The strange velvety tex ture of the mycelium is an invitation to recon sider how we interact with microorganisms, that usually remain un seen. In the spring, the sauna is disassembled, the blocks composted to enrich the soil, the filtra tion pavilion built again, and the cycle restarts.

This project, directed by Dr. Massimo Angrilli dur ing a summer research program in Italy, propos es the revolorization of four roman ruins as well as traditional cultivation techniques (dry-stone terracing) and products (saffran, cicerchia, al monds). Along with sea sonal events, this would ensure a sustainable economic activity for two towns that are near ly abandoned, integrat ing them into a network based on the Strategia per le Aree Interne. Dur ing this two-week studio I participated in digit al surveying with laser scanner, photography and photogrammetry, I interviewed residents and met local people who are rebuilding Abruzzo; I still hold contacts with the organizers through the freelance work I do for them.

The second project, Nocturne Elemental , (top right) was a playing structure based on a digital abstraction of scenes from cinema and the nighttime. We were guided by the designers of plusFARM as we parametrically mapped movie scenes and constellations; we then turned the design into a real structure in a week onsite. This form has an intimate interior, a surface to project onto and one to lie down and watch the stars, as well as climbable parts. The challenge lay in going very rapidly from total abstraction to a structural logic and to figure out the patterning of the flexible plywood. Finally, the third project (bottom left) is a 1:1 mock-up for a green facade system that incorporates a passive irrigation system and earth reservoirs into its structure. The amount of light the panels let through depends on the perforations on the thin side, while on the thick side they host the mosses that will grow in time to create a multitude of patterns.
