The Spaces Between

I am currently a fourth year student studying at the University of Toronto Daniels Faculty of Architecture.

To me, architecture is not just the creation of space, but the crossroads of creative thinking to make meaningful spaces. Community and collaboration are very important ideas and processes that I strive to apply in my process.

I am always eager to learn, driven and passionate to achieve my goals and to create thoughtful and expressive spaces to share with people.

The Spaces between is a collection of my personal and academic work.

Hope you enjoy!!

01Canada Malting Silos

Winter 2023

Instructors: Timothy Boll & Andy Bako

Collaborators: Harmeet Banwait & Hassan Ali

An adaptive re use project attempting to revive the Canada Malting Silos in Toronto to be transformed into an art gallery. The proposed design introduces abstract and rigid frames that serve as spaces within and beyond the boundary of the building.

Each frame within and beyond the building is tailored to house artwork and gallery installations with an added component of a mixed reality experience that changes the viewers experience of the space.

We explored how the silos could react and respond to these forms we introduced to the boundary of the building. The introduction of these forms caused the silos to react in intriguing ways, such as complete removal of certain sections of the silos, pushing upwards to hang from the ceiling, or pushing downwards to rise from the ground.

Mixed Reality

To further investigate the experiential qualities of these frames, we employed mixed reality to create virtual spaces that utilized the frames as a basis for abstraction. Through techniques such as rectilinear explosion and extrusion of the frames, as well as liquefying parts of the frames to create virtual forms, we were able to transform the way the space is experienced in the virtual reality realm.

02Diamond Pavillion

Fall 2022

Instructors: Nathan Bishop & Nicholas Hoban

Collaborators: Brian Lee

A study of creating tectonic architectural systems using timber coordinated by a single timber diamond cell to form a multipurpose pavillion, located at the Dundas Peak in Hamilton, Ontario. This project aims to give different perspectives on structure and arrangement of materials that allow us to understand different ways they can be utlised within architectural context.

03 The Garage Solution

Fall 2021

Instructors: Katy Chey & Michael Piper

This proposal aims to address the housing needs in the city of Toronto, specifically within the St. Clair neighborhood, through an innovative approach: utilizing garages as habitable spaces and constructing houses on top of existing garages. The study focuses on a 2km x 2km site in the neighbourhood site to explore the feasibility and potential impact of this solution.

St. Clair Neighbourhood, Toronto

STCLAIRAVE

DAVENPORT RD

Introducing garage-based housing units offers a unique opportunity to increase the housing density in a sustainable and cost-effective manner. I was looking to revolutionize urban housing design while effectively utilizing existing infrastructure to meet the growing demands of Toronto’s residents.

Garage Typologies

During the study, an investigation was conducted on various garage typologies within the St. Clair neighborhood in Toronto. My aim was to understand the diverse range of garages and their potential adaptability for housing purposes.

Semi Detached Garages - Semi detached homes

Single Detached Garages - Single homes

Attatched/Integrated Garages

I examined semi detached garages, single detatched garages, houses with no garages and attached garages considering factors such as size, layout, structural integrity, and access points. These images I photographed capture the diversity of these garages, highlighting the need for flexible and adaptable design strategies to harness their potential for housing solutions.

Design Proposal

By capitalizing on the potential of these different garage typologies, this design proposal offers a viable solution to address housing needs in the St. Clair neighborhood while preserving its unique character and bringin together the community with commercial and recreational spaces.

into housing units, through building vertically on top of them, highlighting their versatility. The designs seen are for semi-detached, single, and integrated garages, repurposed as residential spaces.

Creating a Community

The integration of these housing units atop garages, supplementeds with other kinds of spaces, presents an opportunity for increased density, enhanced livability, and the creation of vibrant, inclusive and sustainable communities.

As black students, we are often questioned about our identity and values but that should never be the case. I often ask myself, Who are we? What are the values that embody the Black community?

My intention for this mural is to celebrate and honor the richness and diversity of Black culture and identity. I aim to showcase the words that highlight the resilience and strength of the Black community and to create a space that affirms Black students, staff, and visitors in our school. Through this mural, I hope to empower and inspire Black students to embrace who they are and truly believe in their uniqueness within their heritage with pride and to recognize their full potential to thrive and succeed.

I have chosen the values of “Bold, Love, Action, Courage, Kind” as the words centred on the mural in a collage with leaves in the background signifying growth as a community. These words are not just an answer to the question of this mural but to also embody the values and aspirations of the Black community and to inspire everyone who sees this mural to embody these values in their own lives. I believe that this mural will serve as a beacon of hope, resilience, and affirmation for the black community at Daniels and I am excited to see the impact it has on the community at Daniels.
