SHERBOURNE CO-OP Supervising: Project: Program: Location:
Adrian Blackwell Design Studio, Winter 2020 Social Housing & Services 403 Sherbourne St. Toronto
Featured in Publication on BRIDGE Center for Architecture + Design
Sherbourne expands on a rich neighborhood of established co-op communities located between Wellesley and Carlton. It embraces co-operative housing as both a strategy to combat the commodification of housing, and a framework towards building an active local community. At the center of this project, is a pedestrian street, which bring the sidewalk in the building and which connects Sherbourne and Bleeker streets. The Arcade also serves to break up the street front and maintain the rhythm of buildings along Sherbourne. With a series of step-backs, the main bulk is placed towards Bleeker Street where several taller buildings already exist along the street, and to maintain the consistent streetwall on Sherbourne.

The structural system uses Dowel Laminated Timber (DLT), which is like Nail laminated timber but uses wooden dowels to connect the 2x8s, making it an all wood product from. Wood can be sourced from Ontario SPF, and DLT can be manufactured in Ontario. DLT panels are held up by steel Deltabeams which are in turn supported by glulam columns. A structural concrete topping connects the components, creating a composite structure.

Design Studio, Fall 2018 Conceptual Unknown time and place
Design Excellence Award, 2A Studio Exhibited at the 2019 Year End Review Exhibit at Idea Exchange at the Riverside Gallery The 2A studio final project was a culmination of a term of study on the concept of affect and atmosphere in architecture. This project was a conceptual exploration, in an imaginary time and place. The resulting project is a strange architecture, created between wood, concrete and chrome. It is an orderly grid intersected by seemingly random elements, squares by suspended circles. The architecture is mysterious and sci-fi. The interiors of the project are conditioned by these intersections, creating openings and framing views into and from the spaces.

JUNCTION LIBRARY Supervising: Project: Program: Location:
Donald McKay Design Studio, Winter 2018 Library + Community Centre Dundas Street W. at Old Weston
This project is set in the post-industrial neighborhood around Dundas West in Toronto. The focus is to create a community center which reflects its community: serving as a library, community kitchen and assembly hall. The building’s plan imitates a common industrial building type: 2 building blocks with a former service corridor converted to an atrium. The exterior also reflects the post-industrial surroundings, using a heavy concrete and corten steel base to support the colossal glulam columns and tall windows of the upper floors. The windows are further used as reveals against the columns to emphasize the

QUARRY BENDS WETLAND PARK Supervising: Project: Program: Location:
Jane Hutton Design Studio, Spring 2019 Community Centre + Wetland Park Brantford, Grand River
Land Art and wetland park located on a former aggregate quarry site on the Grand River provides an opportunity to explore the possibilities of a wetland design which will unfold through the natural processes of erosion and deposition. By excavating on a diamond shaped grid, this project highlights the processes of erosion and the dynamism of wetland systems. Bringing longterm processes to the foreground. Erosion will rapidly overturn the man-made grid, left at the mercy of natural forces, to and sculpt a new environment. From the initial lowcomplexity state of the diamond grid, natural forces will be able to develop itself an evolving and complex system of wetlands. Contrasting these, 4 concrete retained hills which as mounds for the excavated soil, as vantage points to overlook the wetlands around and as flood resistant mounds on which to build outdoor learning spaces. A series of boardwalks and outdoor classrooms anchored by a learning center and gallery space will invite the public to explore and interact with the natural forces present in these wetlands.

ST. JAMES TOWN HUB Team: Project: Program: Location:
Teodor Mlynczyk, Alison Mair Parasitic Architecture Compeition Community Support Programs St. James Town, Toronto
Parasitic Architecture Competition Shortlist (Winners to be announced) When the community of St. James Town in Toronto was constructed, it was envisioned as a community for young urban professionals. However, the high density concrete slab towers did not attract the intended demographic: today St. James Town is home to low-income families and challenged by lack of access to services and adequate public spaces. The neighbourhood suffers from poorly maintained and aging building stock in urgent need of attention. It is representative of a typology which was repeated throughout North America during the 1970s and 80s. The proposed design addresses the lack of shared public spaces in the community and proposes a module capable of supporting diverse programs. The module is intended to be repeated throughout the St. James Town blocks as needed by the residents.

| FALL 2020
This competition sought to the adaptive reuse of a twothousand year old underground Roman Cistern: the Piscina Mirabile, converting it into an art gallery & Museum. The proposed architecture seeks to awaken a volumetric appreciation of the space not possible with a planar plan: a single ramp which brings the museum-goer through the entirety of the cistern—a gradual descent through both art and history, and an analogy for an aqueduct which leads water from the high mountains to its low terminus.
