Sundial for Valdrada
First Year Architectural Science - Design Studio I
07
The Sundial Assignment began with an assigned poem describing a fictional city. Analyzing the fictional city of Valdrada, we were then required to design a functioning sundial that would effectively represent the city based on our findings. Valdrada was a city on the sea with a strong reflection, yet often not symmetrical in character with symbolic clashes between the ‘two’ cities - the one in the water and the one on land. Valdrada’s new sundial will be located on the southern waterfront of the city. Its protruding dial will face north, mimicking a cresting wave on approach to the shores of the city. The sundial is positioned within an elliptical reflecting pool whereby onlookers approaching the dial can see the reflection of the dial, much like the reflectivity of the coastal city of Valdrada. At times the ‘two cities’, reflected and real, are not symmetrical. The dial reflects this thought through the breaking up of its Plan [1:100]
reflection from specific angles of view with the addition of polished stones.

First Year Architectural Science - Design Studio I
The Savasana Yoga Centre, located at 719 College Street in Toronto is designed with the intensions of creating a floating mass, elevated above grade to create a surreal sense of weightlessness

in order to promote harmony. The main two storey elevated mass contains the wellness rooms as well as the yoga studios. The elevated mass is a symbolic reference to the harmony and inner balance one attempts to gain when partaking in yoga and related activities.

Artist Gallery
10
Second Year Architectural Science - Design Studio II
The Artist Gallery, located in close proximity to Toronto’s waterfront at Pier 27, is meant to create a reconnection between the waterfront and the downtown core of Toronto. Since the city began reclaiming land from Lake Ontario when it was first founded, it ironically lost its connection to the water. With developmets like the Gardiner Expressway, there is a clear barrier and division between the watefront and the rest of the city. Through providing park and waterfront connections, as well as designing around the use of public transit, walking and biking, the gallery aims to not only be a destination for art lovers and artists, but also for the general public living in the city. The theme of heaviness and lightness fully materializes within the design, being extracted from its surroundings and the modular design of the Waterlink Pier 27 condos. 1st Floor Plan [1:400]

Structural Canopy Case Study

Toronto is made up of a fairly simple structural system. The premise of the design for the canopy is to allow light to enter underneath the canopy and thus into the building,

while also protecting occupants from rain or snow. The architectural and structural forms of the canopy are

synonymous, as the canopy uses its structural components to convey architectural meaning. Overall the structure is effective in its function of sheltering people from the elements and does so with a clear architectural intent.

Terra Aqua Evolo Magazine - Skyscraper Competition
“We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch - we are going back from whence we came.” - John F. Kennedy (1962)
The Earth at night captured by NASA as seen in 2016, with 80% of the population on the planet living within 100km of the ocean.
14 Located on the Le Have Bank 200km south of Halifax, Terra Aqua rests on the edge of the continental shelf in 321m of water. Relying on solar power, waves, tides and the Gulf Stream Ocean Current, the project aims to become a sustainable solution to the already heightened effects climate change has had on the planet. The Terra Aqua project aims to promote a new and more sustainable approach to vertical living. With completely customizable residential and office units as well as Promenade levels containing farmers markets, parks and restaurants, Terra Aqua is a true embodiment of the future of living in the 21st Century. As the land upon the continents grew scarce and barren, the people sought refuge to the place upon which life started. They needed Land Out of Water - they needed Terra Aqua.
With two-thirds of the world’s mega-cities located by the sea, an unprecedented amount of people would be impacted by rising sea levels of as much as 7 metres.

Evolo Magazine - Skyscraper Competition Underwater turbines line the verticality of the base of Terra Aqua. Being located along the Gulf Stream, the turbines are able to take advantage of the strong currents as well as through tides and waves. The water stores a tremendous amount of energy, nearly 20kW/metre of wavefront. On the ocean floor at this depth, the temperature of the water is fairly constant, remaining between 4ยบC and 10ยบC. This allows for the water to be used in the cooling of the tower. Deep water cooling will be an essential component in the sustainable cooling of the Terra Aqua project. Geothermal heating will also be used to heat the project. As the ocean contains too much salt to be suitable for drinking, Terra Aqua will use a state of the art water desalination process to convert salt water into fresh water for use in the Terra Aqua tower, as well as for the urban farm that feeds the towers inhabitants.

Second Year Architectural Science - Design Studio III Located in the Trefann Court area of Cabbagetown, Toronto, 104 Sackville is a work-live duplex containing two residential units, each with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, and one commercial unit. The area surrounding the Sackville site is primarily residential and contains many historic buildings, with many of the victorian style row houses dating back to the post-war era built for the working class Irish Immigrants. The idea behind the design of the building was to create a juxtaposition between modern city living and an ‘American Dream’ ideal of a unique home with private terraces.

Midrise Complex
19
Second Year Architectural Science - Design Studio III
The Midrise complex located at 8-26 Power Street, just NorthEast of King Street East and Parliament Street, in Toronto, Ontario lies within the historic neighbourhood of Corktown. One prominent recurring feature of the site and surrounding area is the alleyways that cut between historic brick buildings,
South Elevation [1:800]
providing connections both physically and visually between opposing streets and making navigating the neighbourhood an experience within itself. In this residential midrise complex, the aim was to expand this alleyway connection, splitting the complex into two masses separated by a glass mass lining up with the alleyway between the two existing
East Elevation [1:800]
buildings to the west of the site. The building also uses the idea of the modularity of brick as the basis for its form.

Collaborative Exercise 2016 - Site Plan [1:4000] The premise of the Collaborative Exercise held at Ryerson University’s Architectural Science Department is that teams of approximately 15 people from all different years within the program are grouped together and assigned a project. In 2016, the project was to revitalize a site in Chatham-Kent using the theme of water and its importance in our lives. Our team designed a series of bridges and islands that cleaned the slightly polluted creek as it flowed into the larger Thames River, while also providing areas of social interaction. Along with assisting in the schematic design phase, my major personal contribution was to render the site plan and assisted with other tasks.

Structures I Canopy Assignment - Rendering The Structures I Canopy Assignment was a project done in groups of approximately 4 people. The purpose of the project was to revitalize an outdoor ice rink in Trinity-Bellwoods Park in Toronto by implementing a cost effective canopy structure. Our team, we designed a tensile membrane canopy supported by undulating steel truss arches. This was both a lightweight and cost effective sollution to the project. It also protected the rink from the elements while also allowing it to be open air to preserve its original purpose.
