HI THERE, My name is Calli Mingopoulos and I am currently a fourth year architecture student at the University of Waterloo in Canada. I believe architecture and design are capable of aiding in the social, environmental and urban issues that our cities face today, and I’d like to keep learning and exploring how. Otherwise, I’m exploring the world by other means; biking through cities, hiking nature trails or sketching my environment. This is a short collection of my work, enjoy!

INHABIT THE DON
SITE
293 DESIGN STUDIO SUPERVISOR: L. SHEPPARD TERM: 2B | SPRING 2015 PROJECT TYPE: INDIVIDUAL
The project proposes a new approach to landscaping by turning the space under the Gardiner expressway in Toronto into an urban sports complex for extreme sports such as skateboarding, parkour and dirt biking. Due to its close proximity to the Don River, the site was designed to manage flooding and run-off, protecting both the site and ‘The Portland’s’ developments to the south. The project can be seen as an alternative solution to increased flooding in the city while creating a dynamic space for new kinds of public use.

MODEL: PLAN VIEW
The overpasses over the site act as the circulatory spine moving all users and visitors through the site. Large warehouse-like buildings with training facilities and shops branch off the outdoor arcade formed by the overpasses to extend public use north into the site. The north and south facades of the buildings are predominantly glass with large doors to promote skaters and runners to treat the outdoor parks as an extension of the interior facilities. In addition, large garage doors axially connect the buildings together to create communal courtyards. 12

LAGOONS/BMX COURSE Excess water flows into the wetland and BMX area
WATER RETENTION/OVERFLOW In order to maintain a constant presence of water in public spaces, water doesn’t flow further into the site unless it reaches a certain height.
PONDS Water is allowed to pool in shallow ponds further back in the site. In the winter, the ponds can be used for skating.
The different uses of grade materials help facilitate the multiple types of transportation (i.e. skating, running, biking or casual walking) as well as directing water flow. Where it is most desirable for water free programming, concrete channels act to quickly drain water away to the rear of the site, where muddier wetland-like programs such as dirt biking are located. Unlike a traditional storm water management facility, the sports complex doesn’t try to hide its functions, but rather create public uses out of them. 14
STANDARD RAIN CONDITIONS:
GREEN ROOFS
ELEVATED CHANNEL SYSTEM
Building roofs absorb rainwater, with additional water draining into pools due to the roof’s slope.
A series of channels connect the taller southern overpass to the northern overpass to channel water through gravity. The elevated channels also work as anchors for a temporary canvas covering during events.
OVERPASS RAIN COLLECTION By tapping into existing overpass infrastructure that collects rainwater, water can be diverted away from event spaces
RUNOFF COLLECTION/SKATE-PARK
GROUND CHANNEL SYSTEM
Ground water runoff is directed into a channel system to keep skating/running spaces dry
HEAVY RAIN CONDITIONS:
DIVERTED STORM WATER DRAINAGE
SEDIMENT TANK/ PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE
DON RIVER OVERFLOW/KAYAK LAUNCH
During stronger storms, the site diverts water from the Don River through the kayaking launch point into the channel system in order to alleviate the effect of high water levels in the lower Don lands preventing the site and neighbouring roads from flooding. The water is filtered of debris by a screen located under the pedestrian bridge.

MINIATURE CITY
392 DESIGN STUDIO SUPERVISOR: M. EL KHAFIF TERM: 3A | WINTER 2016 PROJECT TYPE: INDIVIDUAL
How do you make a building selfsustainable in terms of travel distances, production and energy consumption? Located in the St. Lawrence District of Toronto, this project aims to localize living, working and production by providing multiple unit types, office spaces, light industrial/maker-lab workshops and a central marketplace as a hub for circulation. The Miniature City explores the question of as our cities get denser, how can buildings help to lighten consumption loads on city systems?

CAMBRIDGE COMMONS
COURSE: 292 DESIGN STUDIO SUPERVISOR: A. BLACKWELL TERM: 2A | FALL 2014 PROJECT TYPE: INDIVIDUAL Cambridge Commons explores the paradox of creating public space for the human and non-human while designing a community center for Cambridge, ON. Situated on the edge of the city core, the site mediates between man-made and natural elements by providing a large public outdoor space that gradates from stone patio to wetland. The interior of the building is compacted into large shared, transparent spaces, with more ‘private’ programs pushed towards the periphery to expand accessible public spaces. The landscape mirrors the interior program while large bi-folding doors expand the interior into site to create unity.

The continuous concrete ribbon on the facade is used to outline the compact interior section of the building. Private spaces such as change rooms and the auditorium feature pre-cast concrete panels, whereas fully public spaces have transparent glass facades. The second floor winter garden acts as the main hub of the building with all other programs centered around it.

WORK EXPERIENCE SUPERVISOR: PJ MALLEN SPRING 2016 VANCOUVER, BC My most recent work-term included work on multiple commercial and residential projects. The project shown is a mixed use residential complex for a town on Vancouver Island. For the project, I was responsible for managing the development permit drawing set, graphics, renders and modeling in Sketch-up. In addition, I worked on restaurant plans, retail projects and various mid-rise office buildings while at MGBA. Programs used at the firm included Vectorworks, Autocad, Sketchup and the Adobe products.

PLAYING CARDS
PERSONAL PROJECT FALL 2015
The project was started as a personal graphic design challenge: how does one design a deck of individual cards that reads as a single set yet still maintains the universal language of playing cards? The outcome was a handmade deck of 54 ink illustrations of fractal animals. The deck is organized into two classes of animals; mammals and horned mammals, where each animal has a mirrored version of itself in a red and black suit. As the cards increase through the traditional hierarchy, so too do the chosen animals. For a consistent backing, the cards are laminated with photo paper to add extra rigidity and opaqueness making the cards fully functional.

THE MIRROR STATE
263 CULTRAL HISTORY SUPERVISOR: T. WINTON TERM: 2B | SPRING 2015 PROJECT TYPE: COLLABORATION
As the final project for Cultural HIstory during the 2B term, the class collectively puts on a play. This includes writing the script, designing costumes, sets, lighting and a soundtrack. I took part in the art and set department, which included designing and fabricating ‘objects in section’ for the main apartment scenes. Our play, The Mirror State told the story of Antonin Artaud, an eccentric playwright during the surrealist era in Paris as he tries to define and create a new type of theatre.
