1_LARGE URBAN BUILDING Public Space, Ecology, Culture
Located at a crossroads between four major cultural sectors of Toronto: Kensington Market, U of T, Chinatown, and the Annex, this project is embraces thre rich cultural and urban quality this neighborhood. The proposed mixed-use building contains a restaurant, cafe, art gallery, music performance hall, rooftop gardens, as well as a block of residences and a large office tower. Approaching the building from the street one is welcomed into a large public forecourt with benches, open market stalls, and planted gardens. The intention is that a this sense of enriched public and ecological space is experienced throughout the entire building. The main public program is within the podium level of the building, but even the residence block has large shared patios overlooking the public rooftop gardens and the office tower is centred around a shaft of stacked atriums with living walls, shared lounges and mini-cafes.

3_ROW HOUSING
1B Studio Project Prof. Donald McKay UWSA Student Exhibition 2009 This speculative multi-family housing complex is located on a site between the grand river and water street in Cambridge, Ontario. Given the odd shape of the site, I tried to develop a series of row houses that could vary in length. I’ve used a row house type that can be expanded and slightly modified based on the curve of the site and the desires of the inhabitants. Stacked bachelor apartments, two-story 3 person house, and two-story 4 person house are shown. All the apartments have private entries to the east and private patios to the west.

4_HYBRID LANDSCAPES Displacement and Stabilization Soils in the Toronto Green Belt 2B Studio Project Coordinator: Lola Shepherd
The city of Toronto is built on valuable agricultural land. The land that remains between the protected greenbelt and the built city is almost all class 1 agricultural soil. This project proposes the redevelopment of Milton Quarry as a sustainable agricultural and residential community. The quarry company will use the soil, that will inevitably be excavated and transported out of the surrounding developments, to remediate the quarry. Combined with the soil collection is a large compost facility to dispose of the GTA`s green bins and provide lasting fertility for the developing agricultural land. As a result of quarrying below the water table water has to continuously be pumped off site only to filtered back into the reservoirs. The proposed agricultural fields will make use of the water and filter it. The final project is focused around an education facility that specializes in Soil Science and Agriculture. The intention is that the industry will benefit from research and development while the school can foster an applied curriculum closely tied to industry and agricultural production.

5_WATER STREET HOTEL
2A Studio Project Prof. Ryszard Sliwka and Anne Bordeleau UWSA 2A Design Excelence Award
Main Street
Water Street
This hotel project is located in downtown Galt, Cambridge, On. The project was conceived of as a sensual hotel, spa, and restaurant fit into a low horizontal building, framing a massive vegetable garden with axial public walkways cutting through the site. Outdoor circulation to the hotel rooms allows people to walk through the gardens on their way to and from the main building. The theme is echoed on the interior with planter boxes along walkways, interior water features and living walls. The building is clad with wood shutters, wood screens, and chicken wire. The screen is meant to facilitate vine growth and to mimick the appearance of a food crate.
