Hello, My name is Favour Adesina and I am a 4A student at the University of Waterloo School of Architecture. I am a hardworking and forward thinking indivual, whose passion for architecture is derived, from the admiration of everpresent relationships between people, and the spaces in which they occupy. I seek to attain valuable experiences that will further mold my future endeavours in the field of design and architecture. I aim to equip myself with the neccessary skills needed to make ground breaking contributions to the world of design. This portfolio will provide various insights into my projects and character.

02// Summit CISC Steel Design Competition In collaboration with Hannah Connolly 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.

03// 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. 12

04// Aqua Terrain Studying the Natural Landscape in Relation to Design and Architecture 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 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. By including walkable, interchangable 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 evergrowing changes that occur in the landscape and weather. 22

05// Residence IV Part 1 The Masterplan: In Collaboration with Madeline Lachance, Rebecca Zarins & Vanessa Sokic 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 and 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 .

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 growing food together and the smaller 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.

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?

06// Residence IV 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.

06// Residence IV Night Time Exterior Render
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.

07// Sanctorium A Heterotopia Depicting Answers to The Question: How Might We Live? How might we live?, a question proposing a behavioural 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 Tarkovsky’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. 50

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.

Dark room
08// Personal Works
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.
