Favour Adesina Portfolio 2020
The Manchester School of Architecture
Hello, My name is Favour Adesina and I am a 4th Year student at the University of Waterloo, School of Architecture. I am a hardworking and forward thinking individual, whose passion for architecture is derived, from the admiration of ever present relationships between people, and the spaces in which they occupy. Through my fascination and appreciation of different cultures and urban fabrics, I seek to attain valuable knowledge and experiences that will further mold my future endeavors in the field of design. I aim to equip myself with the necessary skills and apprehensions needed to make ground breaking contributions to the world of architecture. This portfolio will provide in depth insights into my projects, interests and pursuits in the field of architecture and design.

01// Summit CISC Steel Design Competition In collaboration with Hannah Connolly Location: The Drakensburg Escarpment, South Africa For the 2018 CISC Steel design competition, the theme was Assembly Assembly.. My partner and I decided to design a structure that embodied this theme both physically and metaphorically. By designing an observation deck, we created a place of public repose: A steel structure that could be easily assembled and disassembled over time. The structure takes the form of an observation point overlooking the Drakensburg Escarpment in South Africa. The canopy structure provides protection from harsh natural elements and creates a threshold condition leading to the final moment of observation, a moment heightened by the transparent floor and bold steel frame. Repeating structural elements and a simple,systematic method of construction allow this structure to be assembled and installed in a variety of locations which would benefit from a hiker’s outlook point.

02// The Ulterior A Performance School by Day, Nightclub Fashion Show Venue by Night: Designing in Relation to Sound Location: Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos, Nigeria The Lagos School of Traditional dance is alive with rhythmic treads, throughout the day this annular expanse will store us in its loins, our physical resonances ever changing, ever imprinted. Is it the calabash, or the talking drum, or the Shekere that we will dance to today? Or are our voices enough to carry these motherland tunes as we move to them. This landing holds our beats within its walls and will forever respond to the push and shove of our feet, with the provision of something greater, something more whole. Through a covert investiture, void of public apprehension, we follow the currents of our footsteps, our sways, our twists and motions, and we domesticate these movements in the space that they formulated, ever dynamic, ever resplendent. This Ulterior is alive, and mobilization is utilized, in a capacity that echoes the power of our omnipresent divinities,who witness our ability to be untethered in the midst of a world set to harness our negatives; it matters that we are together, it matters that we do this together. 8

These tiles move vertically up and down, a small generator allows the dance steps to be transformed into kinetic energy and stored through a transformer. AC Transformer and Power conversion system transforms the kinetic energy into electrical energy, storing it in Heavy duty lithium batteries, stored underground in the structure and rooms of the nightclub. The heavy duty batteries are stored in the rooms underground and used to power the nightclub.

03// Aqua Terrain
Studying the Natural Landscape in Relation to Design and Architecture Location: The Grand River, Cambridge, Ontario My aim, through the study of the Grand River in Galt, was to design a space upon this river where the dying trout and species could thrive and survive all year round. Through my research of the Grand river wildlife and wetland plants, I discovered the rapid rates at which trout were dying, so I decided to create a series of floating wetlands that catered to the needs of the wildlife primarily, and then to the needs of humans secondarily. The main elements that trout need to survive are: cold waters below 20oC, Insects and worms for food, non-acidic, neutral waters, and still, shallow waters that allow them move freely. By including walkable, interchangeable platforms and fishing decks, I explored ways in which humans could experience these spaces while keeping the needs of the river’s plants and animals in mind. Creating floating wetlands that could be unhooked and stored away during winter, after undergoing multiple configurations during the year, was my way of tackling the ever-growing changes that occur in the landscape and weather. 16

04// Makoko: Aqua Terrain Vernacular Amphibious Typologies: In Relation to Flood Mitigation and the Environmental Advancement of West African Coastal Slums Location: Makoko, Lagos, Nigeria Makoko is an informal settlement, situated in Lagos, Nigeria, one of west Africa’s largest cities. It is a groundless, coastal slum area that comprises of shacks built on stilts, and has been around for over 150 years. It also comprises of several distinct villages which spread across land and water; Residents live in dilapidated conditions with no access to clean drinking water, electricity, and waste disposal, leading to severe environmental and health hazards to the residents and surrounding aquatic life. Forced government rehousing, in addition to growing effects of flooding and climate change, continues to displace families and lives at large. The aim of this project is to propose three main amphibious typologies that will aid in the mitigation of flooding, as well as the common improvement of the quality of both aquatic and human life in Makoko, strengthening the economic and environmental independence of the community . This includes providing efficient waste disposal systems and increased access to clean water, through the introduction of sawyer filtration systems and composting toilets. 22

The housing and public space typologies are both modular in the sense that they can be repeated to provide enough spaces and housing for the people of Makoko, by using cheap materials and reducing the costs and time of production, efficiency in this context will be achieved. Each structure has hooks that connect it to the floating wetlands and floating platforms around.

These floating wetlands and platforms also adopt the same amphibious typology, with a wooden under-frame and buoyancy blocks attached, for flotation. The amphibious typology is fitted to the public structures, larger forms made with translucent PVC siding for the walls allow for social gathering, light permeation and multi-functional social agendas Each house and public space is fitted with a composting toilet and sawyer filtration system. The composting toilet is a simple and inexpensive system that uses natural organic elements to filtrate smells and compost waste. While the Sawyer filtration system relies on the force of gravity to filtrate dirty water.

WETLAND TYPOLOGIES: We decided to design a series of wetlands with certain plants that help control the PH level of water, filter and clean the water, while also fostering aquatic life and vegetation growth. We figured this was an interesting way to deal with the issues of water sanitation, while also helping to strengthen the community through self sustenance by farming of these wetlands.

Further away from Makoko, is a terrain of circular ended wetlands designed to attract fish. Their circular shape helps to break waves and provide stiller conditions for fish to swim and thrive in, as well as plants that attract mosquitoes and other insects that fish eat. Ideally, this would help strengthen the fishing industry in makoko, as it is a main source of income for majority of Makoko.

WHAT ARE WETLANDS? Artificial wetlands are designed and built similar to natural wetlands to treat wastewater. They consist of a shallow depression in the ground with a level bottom. The flow is controlled in constructed wetlands so the water is spread evenly among the wetland plants. •
Plants act as filters for the water as well as provide food (by attracting species) for Trout and Tilapia.
•
Towards the end of their life cycle, the plants are released as bio matter for the river and absorb waste fluids.
•
Roots of plants help to filter and cleanse river while also attracting fish and evening out the PH of the water.
•
Wetlands also slow down the water flow, to allow for easier access to fish, as well as easier paths of travel.
•
Wetlands provide micro climates where Tilapia and other fish can access filtered sunlight, insects and algae which is what fish feed on.
•
The wetlands attract more fish, which eat the poop and waste in the water, therefore aiding in the cleansing of the water.

05// Parkwell on McCaul A Conflict Resolution Center geared towards the facilitation of difficult conversations Location: McCaule Orde Park, Toronto, Ontario Reciprocity is a concept which speaks to how the world goes round, the give and take, push and pull of human and wildlife alike is essential to the development of not only the earth, but also the development of interpersonal relationships. Parkwell on McCaul explores the idea of reciprocity through water, a natural binding source that flows through the earth, often harmoniously and reciprocally. Tying together the systematic, creative and therapeutic components of water together, Parkwell on McCaul is a conflict resolution center that aims to use the symbolism, practicality and functionality of water, as a means to bring people together and foster healing.

Parkwell on McCaul is a building that aims to urge visitors to think of themselves in relation to the natural environment, in this case water. While the building uses PV pumps and solar power to recycle grey water; systems within its walls allow for the this water to be used for further irrigation of the natural landscape, which preceded it. While water is a crucial part in how the building system functions, various water features throughout the building create a unique user experience, telling a story with the use of water, acoustically, visually and literally.

WATER CYCLE IN RELATION TO DESIGN ELEMENTS
Bodies of water that cut across the floor plate and wrap into the garden inform how people move through the space; pumps follow this into the mechanical well in the garden, as water rains down into the basement at a controlled speed.
RAINWATER IS COLLECTED AT ROOFTOP, WATER IS TRANSPORTED DOWN TO PROCESSING UNIT IN BASEMEN THROUGH FORCE OF GRAVITY
Give and Take, push and Pull. As the Building’s system aims to recycle used water by giving back to the land, the act is reciprocal, the stairs create a reciprocal movement through the floors, pushing you out and drawing you back in as you wind up, the contrasting of heavy concrete and light glass alludes to elements that are opposite but give to each other- reciprocity.
GREY WATER FROM WATER FEATURES, HAND WASHING, BATHROOMS, IS PUMPED DOWN TO BASEMENT PROCESSING UNIT TO BE PURIFIED.

06// Residence IV Part 1 The Masterplan: In Collaboration with Madeline Lachance, Rebecca Zarins & Vanessa Sokic Location: York University Campus, Toronto, Ontario The outskirts of the GTA are designed for a commuter culture where all citizens must rely on vehicles to reach their jobs, their homes and all services in between. The way that we acquire food today has been heavily shaped by this culture and grocery stores sit like islands in seas of parking lots, distant from residential areas, hereby inherently inaccessible to young people or all those who cannot own vehicles. This plan was an attempt to address these problems by subverting the way in which we’ve been interacting with our food at a distance; by focusing on a program that provides students with on campus access to farmers markets and grocery stores , as well as ways in which they can grow their own food .

Larger Food Based Program Organization
Using the scale of the kitchen, the market and the farm, this plan creates multiple levels of community within its ground plane blocks, the larger blocks for growing food together and the smaller ones for selling, cooking and dining together. These levels of community are then extended upwards into the buildings of the project through the use of green cores and green roofs that each serve as smaller scale gathering spaces within each building and on each floor. This connected program that sweeps the site, serves as a way to activate the community and eradicates the need for people and the produce itself to travel long distances in the name of a basic necessity.

This proposed food based community is centered around the idea that food should be used to foster community and bring people together. It offers sustainable and healthy food solutions for its residents while drawing in the extended population of the university and the neighborhoods nearby by the wide network of public program on its ground plane and opportunities for the Integration of local businesses. This could be seen as a marketplace level that would function throughout the year, pictured in the section below. Private Program

07// Residence IV Part 2 Campus Residence Development
Location: York University Campus, Toronto, Ontario This project is a further developed proposal for one of the residence blocks established through the previous master-plan. By proposing a plan which incorporates a ground based network of organic food programs, further fostered by a network of terraces, students will be provided with more than enough options for healthy eating. This proposed food based community is one that offers nearby, healthy, and sustainable food solutions through community gardening and teamwork. But why stop at just feeding the bodies of students?

Mental health issues are rampant in universities and taking a step to better this is crucial. The proposed plan for Resident 3, incorporates a variety of spaces which foster the care for mental health while paying attention to what we put into our bodies. Terraces that span across the building provide students with the opportunity to grow their own personal meals and plants while creating an environment where students can interact with and support each other. The bridge that connects the two resident buildings to one another is laterally braced with steel members.

07// Residence IV Terrace Corridor
This bridge serves as a node of connection and interaction between the two spaces. The bridge is under-lit at night time to make the space and passage way through this area more evoking and interesting. The terraces also bring in a lot of sunlight, a proven factor in improving mental health. With rooftop terraces dedicated to horticultural practices such as plant physiology and plant breeding, the students are placed in an environment where mental and physical health are both cherished and nurtured through community.

08// Personal Works Mixed Media Work A look into extra curricular works done throughout the years; I have explored various mediums such as acrylic paint, photography, collage and pen. My inspiration for art is often derived from my lived experiences and encounters in the real world, Furthermore, with the use of colours, media, and techniques, I aim to physically represent these experiences and how they made me feel. Through iteration and reiteration of ideas and concepts, these pieces developed into the works featured in this portfolio today. today. Also included in this section, are professional works and extra curricular architectural projects that I have worked on.

Sanctorium
A Heterotopia Depicting Answers to The Question: How Might We Live? How might we live?, a question proposing a behavioral analysis of ourselves. Here, provoked by three film clips is a sanctuary within a sanctuary, a Sanctorium stimulated by baptisms. If this is how we may live, as theistic, doctrinal beings; then space in itself is sacred. The underground walls, carved out by the subjects are reminiscent of the dark, dilapidated volume in which Tchaikovsky’s Stalker takes place, the progressive maneuver of the being in Stalker through the space, has been revived in an architectural assemblage of walls and stairs, where human movement through these spaces cause descent and ascent through the larger objectionable space itself. A space ridden with moss, stalagmites and slime filled surfaces, conditioned by the constant flow of fouled water, evoking disgust yet awe; a series of baptismal pools, flowing through one another.

Through the progression of these initiations lie several rooms of repose and worship, providing instances of intimacy and placidness, ambiences strongly stimulated through Resnais’s Hiroshima Mon Amour, whose aura of warm light and shadowed surfaces is revived through the dimly lit niches carved into the land, lonely yet comfortably private. The climax of the advancement through these spaces is the final pool, where the subject is fully initiated and must join his fellow brethren in the final bath, the space surrounded by candles and lackluster lighting recreates and evokes auras experienced in Hiroshima Mon Amour and Stalker, as well as Fellini’s Satyricon.

The quiet of another entity, pulsing through space, fluctuating with time; an ambiguous presence bleeds through polar chambers. The “Observer”, engrossed by the sound of a foreign unseen matter, unapologetically taps into the internal instruments of another. Waiting in lightlessness, pulsing flickers illuminate the darkness enveloping them. Barren, plain and sterile, the “Subject” is confined by emptiness, chained to their own lonesomeness. Their exposed essence radiates in sound, a vulnerable state of being in slumbering vacancy, awaiting the guidance of a greater obscurity. Two correspondent personas, one cloaked in darkness and one washed in fluorescence, co-exist within the manifestation of one synonymous beat. They are a dynamic power duo oscillating through time and expanse, where one seeks guidance and one exploits such void as entertainment.
