rehabilitation education integration
determining program requirements: from effects to solutions
the root of the problem: Kamathipura, Mumbai’s oldest and Asia’s 2nd largest red-light district
rehabilitation for victims of child sex trafficking Child-sex trafficking is a vicious cycle almost impossible to escape. Girls as young as six enter the system by force and deception and suffer rape, torture, drug addiction and even death. Escaping the brothel is difficult, but can happen. Many nonprofit organizations in India work to rescue girls from Kamathipura, Mumbai’s oldest brothel, but the number of existing rescue houses is nowhere near close to being able to accommodate the number of girls in need of protection. The two most common options for girls once they escape the brothel is to return home, where they are often cruelly stigmatized, or go back to the streets and risk re-entry into the world of prostitution. The girls are rarely able to return to their former lives and suffer many mental and physical disabilities. Shelter, nutrition, education, and therapy are crucial to allow these victims to move on and reintegrate into society. This proposed rehabilitation center will help give them the time and space to heal and arm them with the education and skills to succeed as independent women in their new lives.

trinity bellwoods community center second year: architectural science, ryerson university professor: baruch zone site: trinity bellwoods park, toronto, ontario The site of Trinity Bellwoods Community Center was proposed for a prominent park in Toronto, Ontario. The design of the center needed to reflect the cultural and social importance of the park to the neighbourhood and act as a beacon and key meeting place for the area residents. Focus was placed on framing vistas of the surrounding natural landscape and allowing for maximum natural daylighting.

queen st. apartments second year: architectural science, ryerson university professor: john ingrao site: queen street west, toronto, ontario A long narrow lot drove the final form of this mixed-use residential building. The complicating factor being that glazing was restricted along both sides of the building in order to allow for the construction of future adjacent buildings. To bring daylight into each unit required a terraced approach so light could penetrate the north and south facing walls. Providing private and communal outdoor space was also a key element in the design, as the site is located in downtown Toronto where greenspace is scarce and where the traditional apartment block can create challenges to a strong sense of community.

HENRY MOORE WATERFRONT GALLERY third year: architectural science, ryerson university professor: yew thong leong site: east bayfront, toronto, ontario The vision of the Henry Moore Waterfront Gallery was inspired by Tommy Thompson Park, the former construction waste site now eroded, overgrown and reclaimed by nature. To best describe the experience of the landâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dramatic transformation and return to the wild the gallery was designed so that the visitor ascends a wide spiral staircase from the ground floor, a dark enclosed barrel, up into increasingly light infused levels until finally emerging onto the rooftop open to nature and the elements.
ground floor
To emphasize the importance of the art, all exterior distractions were eliminated through the absence of windows, the spaces lit only from a central skylight above. Deepening the intimate relationship between viewer and sculpture, the staircase rises through the atrium allowing for multiple, unobstructed, 360 degree views of the featured works.

painting, drawing, photography from left to right Toronto Skyline; acrylic on canvas Hand; pencil Leaves; watercolour Horse; pencil facing page This series captures the hidden beauty in decay, juxtaposing two phenomena of the built environment. The first, the drama and impressiveness of a pristine, newly unveiled structure. The second layer and meaning is formed after a building has had time to age, seen use by generations and developed deep character. As an architect, it is important to find beauty and appreciation in a structure long after it has expired, planning and accepting how a building will grow old and decay.

IBI Group provided architectural and planning services for the feasibility and conceptual design of an intermodal transit terminal along with associated mixed-use development. The study included updating the inventory of current ground transportation services at Toronto Pearson International Airport, and identifying future ground transportation services, intermodal terminal requirements and candidate site locations prior to concept design. A schematic design and master plan were also generated for future mixeduse development at Area 6A associated with the new intermodal terminal based on built form explorations and development plot calculations.

Eglinton Crosstown LRT Dufferin Station sga ibi architects client: TED, Metrolinx location: toronto, ontario completed: in progress
In response to the existing site, the design vision for Dufferin Station draws upon the activity from the intersection and mimics the dynamic movement of pedestrians both at street level and within the station. The Entrance buildings propose a vibrant, revitalized streetscape for the entire community while establishing a landmark for the neighbourhood. Criteria determined by workshop and design guidelines, as well as the nature of the site proposed for Dufferin Station leads to a series of spaces which offer the potential of a smooth interface to creat a unique spatial flow. It is this `flow` that the design team wanted to capture in the vision: the flow of people, the flow of space, the flow of materials. assisted in set of construction drawings, focusing on sections, signage signage locations location plans, exterior glazing schedule and sheet layout responsible for Architectural Design Report explaining design intentions and proposal
