MODERN LOFTS 1B Studio Project (Final) Professor: Donald McKay Location: Toronto, Ontario
MODERN LOFTS are medium density and mediumhigh density apartment buildings built on conventionalsize city lots, developed without land assemblies in areas that would profit from greater density, in the periphery of downtown Toronto. The buildings work with several assumptions for Toronto’s future, and for the future of a building type that thrived there into the 1960’s, before it was abandoned in favour of apartment buildings that more-or-less ignored the enduring city fabric.

JUNK 1B Studio Project (Mid) Professor: Donald McKay Group: Cynthia Tang, Crystal Yung. James Clarke-Hicks Location: Cambridge, Ontario
The downtown core of Cambridge consists of many infill lots which to a certain extent, become unattractive or `junk`spaces. The objective is to redevelop those spaces into inviting and habitable environments for middle-income households. The new structures bring a modern aesthetic to the historical downtown context while in keeping with the traditional fabric of the Galt area.

INDENSE SSEF Pop-Up Architecture Competition Entry Professor: Terri Boake Group: Mary Chiu Site: Non-specific
Inspired by similar small scaled social projects within urban neighbourhoods, INDENSE is a pop-up library that provides a space for meeting, learning, and immersing oneself. As with any potential library-like space, the capacity to explore the space remains a crucial element of the experience. Thus, by using subtle undulations on the interior walls and roof, a cavelike space is created; where one can discover their own comforts enveloped in the displacement of books. It is a space where one can find shelter from a rainstorm, and still be able to experience the rain. By simply repeating a set of basic elements, INDENSE becomes a truly modular structure that can be assembled by anyone, anywhere.
