This intervention aims to help resolve the issue of food insecurity in Toronto, an invisible problem that 1 out of every 8 Ontarians, and 990,970 hungry Torontonians experience every year. The hub is an urban community agriculture centre with a focus on food-related education, and public involvement in high-protein food production, processing and sales. It will create employment, educational, and volunteer opportunities through community gardens and kitchens, hands-on classrooms, an affordable market, retail space, and a volunteer operated restaurant. The building acts as a living closed loop ecosystem where the output of one building element is the input for another. The aquaponics farm produces a calculated 500 lbs of fish and 2880 plants weekly during summer and winter, and creates a direct connection between food production and consumption experienced in the centre.

The main driver of this museum design is to create a variety of spaces, small and large, to exhibit artworks of different scales in a way that creates an interesting experience for visitors. The staggered form indicates the alternation of large rooms that contain large sculptures and paintings and smaller rooms that contain smaller works. Visitors enter through Richard Lenoir Blvd. from the west and make a promenade to the east where the St. Ambroise Church creates a dramatic backdrop for the sculptures of nature and religion. The sculpture garden south of the museum links the parc on Richard Lenoir Blvd. to the west with the church on the east. Windows on the south façade allow the greenspace to permeate inside.

This project is a response to the housing crisis caused by the current unaffordable housing markets in Canada.

Two major factors influenced an affordable and sustainable design: (1) size, a small footprint means a lower cost, less material used, and a lower energy consumption, (2) the ability to locate the house where rent or land is inexpensive. The solution, a house built on a trailer that can be relocated when the cost of living in an area becomes high, but that performs and feels like a house.

The goal of this project was to create a studio with an area no greater than 15m2 for a children’s book authour. The form took inspiration from the chestnuts that fell from the trees on site. By cutting this shape in half, the studio frames the writer’s view that is directed to the inspiring landscape and nearby castle grounds. The organic form and dark cedar shingle exterior give the studio a sense of being part of the landscape, like a hobbit hut from a medieval fantasy novel. The interior contrasts the exterior with a smooth, bright, singular curved surface that distributes light evenly. The structure is made of a series of CNC cut, curved glulam beams that are supported by a steel frame.

This project is an adaptive re-use of Turbine Hall of the former Lower Water Street Power Generating Station, this three-storey design exhibits exploration and learning in the area of science and technology. Consisting of daily programming, a dome theatre, permanent galleries, travelling exhibits and special presentations, as well as annual activities and events for all ages. the cultural landmark attracts vitality to the waterfront and creates a connection to the Maritimes by incorporating thematic outdoor and indoor installations, which are both interactive and sculptural. My task was to model and create a detailed high-resolution section perspective rendering that the client would publish for guests to use for way finding, and potentially a future mural. I modelled the interior of the dome theatre, the steel support structure for an exterior decorative screen, and other detailed interior elements. I then rendered and edited the image to address desired changes requested by the client. The image is now published on the Centre`s website.

This project is a commissioned design and construction done for a client in need to revitalize an old overgrown garden with a deteriorating deck, retaining wall and shed. The goal of this project was to improve and create a space that is inviting with two main areas: 1. An area for cooking, growing herbs, and entertaining on the deck and patio close to the house where guests can bathe in the sun and eat a meal.

2. An area at the back of the garden where it is partly sunny and there is more shade. It is an area where one can escape, relax, read a book or sit with friends on the patio and have a conversation while being surrounded by beautiful foliage, flowers and a rockery.

APR. 2016

Located in Toronto’s historical Distillery District, the purpose of this design is to cultivate the Catholic Church by focusing on community aspects, inclusivity and to serve the original purpose of a Basilica: a civic centre. The Basilica acts as a continuation of public activity to bridge the gap between the Distillery District and the Esplanade. The parish hall situated on the west of the site is a continuation of the lively Distillery District and includes spaces for communal and educational activities. The Church on the west side is located close to the tranquil park and welcomes people from the main street with a plaza, a gallery, and a courtyard between the two building masses where programs can expand to the street. The dark rusted industrial exterior contrasts the pure light interior. At night the bell tower and multifaith centre are illuminated and act as beacons that attract visitors inside.

F I L M PHOTOGRAPHY PERSONAL 35 MM & MEDIUM FORMAT PHOTOGRAPHY FILM SCANS ONLY / UNEDITED MULTIPLE EXPOSURES

My interest in double exposure film photography stems from the disorderly and uncontrollable nature of the developed photographs. With digital cameras and software everyone can control and curate the outcome of the final image. Digital allows people to take thousands of identical photos in an effort to get the perfect shot, and then post-produce them to create an ideal image. This obsession with the ideal image is what diverts me further away from digital.

With multiple exposure film photography, I lose all control and count on my technical abilities and intuition to compose a shot and release the shutter. Every shot I take is thought out, and I remember the moments I took each photo with my film camera, as opposed to the thousands I have forgotten on my digital camera.

With multiple exposures, I stop overthinking and I just take the pictures. I cannot control the composition exactly and I let chance and intuition take control. I let go of my obsessive compulsiveness and, simultaneously, the intangible effort for the perfect image.
