BIG HIT STUDIO
In February 2013, the founders created a boutique studio atmosphere that is extremely inviting to all levels of skill and fitness. A place where you can come to a class for Kickboxing, Muay Thai and newly-created strikes on a manlike punching bag. It’s the closest you can get to fighting a human that doesn’t strike back so you decide the intensity and the pace you want to go at.

MUSSE IMPERIALE
The project is located on the famous Via Dei Fori Imperiali and is central to two major monuments Piazza Venetzia and the Colossium. The current condition of the site can be described as “quiet” and is under used because of its not so obvious presence along the main corridor and its scale is tiny compared to lts surrounding context. For the design of the new museum, we did not want to impose on the existing site, but rather, be read as one continous system. Furthermore, the calamity created by the tourist saturated street - made the “tranquilness” of the site a very appealing and was maintined throughout the design.

WEATHER STATION
ThinkToronto! called on all young architects to take a good look at To- ronto’s existing transit infrastracture and challlenged us to come up with new, innovative ways of attracting more commuters. The one of a kind Weater Station was proposed in response to 2 main ideas, one (which every commuter would not contest to) is “bore- dom” when waiting for the next bus to arrive and two, the fundaman- tel goals of a bus shelter which is to protect us from the weather. The city of Toronto undergoes a wide-range of weather conditions, which have not at all been considered in the design of bus shelters today. What would be ideal for this challange and Toronto itself is a bus shelter which is adaptive to these changes and be an enjoyable expereince.

7 A BENCH FOR MARTHA GRAHAM
She moves spastically, trembles and falls, expressing the power of deep emotions and spiritual themes ignored by other dancers. In her dance “Lamentations� the fabric is stretched, pulled and twisted to accentuate the inner pain of the figure. The design of a chair strives to celebrate the power of a virgin fabric that is stretched and pulled while being encapsulated into the spastic move of a rigid material. The form follows the lines of her body to dance together. It can be used as a bench or a low rise lounge chair when turned upside down.

PROTEUS MOVE
The codependent relationship of the two substances has somehow been forgotten in a great battle over dominance. Ice and water existed in peaceful placidness until waters suppressed rage becomes uncontrollable. Ice loses all its privileges at the surfaces, becoming lost within the folds of the violent waves. Ice puts up one final fight – clinging on to the surface as much as it can. It takes flight, trying to escape the dark curvaceous folds of the water. Ices thick skin is thinned out and light slowly starts to filter through. Breaking through the solidity of ice finally releases water out of containment and allowing light to permeate through. Water is the conqueror over ice – making ice unrecognizable. It loses all that once made it ice and reincarnates into clear, residual, matter. Only fragments of the memories of their past scatter across the unpredictable personality of water. The project investigates the temporality of architecture within the mobility of duration through space, matter and light. A film showing a “sheet of ice” being destroyed by a sharp current was studied for its dynamic forces, morphogenetic patterns and geometries were then harness and transformed in the making of durational space and the architecture of time.

(DIS)ABLED
The project was first inspired by a quote that open my eyes to the psychological stresses that come with a wheelchair disability. After more research into this matter, it was found that out of the 2% of North American’s (1.6 million people) who have this disability, only 11.5% of adult wheelchair users have graduated from college compared to 21.6% percent of the general adult population. In addition, th¬¬e unemployment rate is quite high for wheelchair users: 14.4%, compared to 4.3% for the working-age population as a whole. Low levels of educational attainment and low employment rates combine to create a bleak economic picture for many wheelchair users, one-fifth 19.1% of whom live in poverty. The physical limitations that come with this disability makes it difficult for wheelchair users to share anywhere close to the opportunities and experiences as we do. The goal of this proposal is to expose occupants to an increasing amount of social interaction to make the transition back into society as soft as possible.

Our installation will address the context and site in the orientation of the placement of the object on site. It will be oriented to the horizon, and calibrated to frame a horizon for the viewer on site. The idea is simple to displace the tall grasses from the site where the installation is to occur, from the ground, lifted to the roof of the object. The basic dimensions of the installation will be an 8’ cube (8’ wide, 8’ long and 8’ high), creating a simple frame to support the roof structure holding the displaced soil and grasses.
