To Whom It May Concern: RE:

Reference for Hannah Carmichael

I am writing on behalf of Hannah Carmichael who was employed with our firm, as an Architectural Assistant from January – August 2019.

During her time with GPA, Hannah was involved in several projects and tasks ranging from presentation and feasibility studies to schematic design drawings. Much of Hannah’s time was spent on two specific projects including millwork drawings, plans and elevations for the design development phase of STOCK, a 20,000 sq.ft. retail/restaurant space in midtown Toronto; and, exhibit design including graphics for the gallery component of the Amaro Lucano museum in Pisticci, Italy.

Hannah is very talented and brought unwavering commitment to all her work; she worked diligently and flourished in a team setting. Hannah demonstrated an aptitude for research and relished assignments that allowed her to investigate and learn.

We wish her our very best as she continues her studies.

Sincerely,

Pina Petricone, Principal

OAA, FRAIC

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am pleased to recommend Hannah Carmichael for the position of student intern or junior designer at your company. As a Senior Architect at Leroy Street Studio, I was Hannah’s direct supervisor while we put together the interior design development package for a 24,000 square feet retreat house in New York. She came in at the last three months of an intense design and drawing process and contributed a great deal on completing our set.

During this time, she demonstrated her sincerity to design, quick adaptation of new CAD and 3d programs, a strong commitment to her tasks, a cheerful and positive energy, and good team work. She enjoyed sketching through options, studying details and going through materials to develop the space and the objects with in the space. She brought fresh eyes to the project and I was happy to see how the project matured during our time togather. Some of the tasks, such as putting together the kitchen plan and elevation drawings that correctly represented our design and functions of the kitchen, were beyond her level, but she learned each process quickly. She successfully completed the kitchen package by following directions, asking questions, and applying what she learned to the next level and did not get frustrated by the review and redesign process to get the details correct. She was very pleasant to work with.

For all of these reasons, I do not hesitate to say that Hannah will be a fine intern for your company. Should you have any questions, please contact me at the number below. You may also contact Marc Turkel who was the partner in charge for the project .

Sincerely,

Arom Jeon

THE BLOCK: MASTERPLAN FOR FINCH w/ Ethan Duffey, Jacob Drung, Jing Lao After a comprehensive study of Toronto’s history of housing projects and masterplans the studio was tasked with proposing a plan for the Finch and Keele intersection in Toronto, a site presenting jarring contrasts between the large industrial lots adjacent mid century cul de sacs. Our team prioritized the disection of lot sizes, block porosity, and program diversification to develop a basis for urban evolution rather than the still frame of a utopic vision.

8m Flagpole shaped lots form from sale of subdivided lots due to high inheritance tax in 1980s Japan. A viable strategy for building in the midblock emerges.

Block sizes and frontage create active street face as the Building typology changes whether or not it faces a street or avenue; larger lots and buildings are along avenues.

Interior small lots protected by L/U shaped large lots, introduces small streets running through the block to promote a ‘neighborhood’ atmosphere (vs ‘fortress’ housing project).

Solid, mid-rise perimeter facing the street, with select intersection paths.

Forms interior courtyard condition with unique internal lot structure.

Combination of mid and low rise buildings creates an active streetscape.

built form Each block is to have 3 different types of building. This physical mix is to accommodate social, economic, and programmatic mix in order to create a diverse neighborhood.

4

green and open space Public parks are visually or physically connected across the site, creating the sense of expansiveness while remaining intimately framed by built form.

3

lots Lot sizes determined by frontage on facing streets - smaller lots face smaller streets and vice versa. The mid-block is to be in-filled with flagpole lots.

streets and blocks Diverse street types used to carve out grid blocks with unique edge conditions.

zoning Zoning should be a gradient, not a mosaic. Employment and light industry are to be preserved on the site while residential and commercial uses are superimposed on top.

A PRODUCTIVE PODIUM PRODUCT OF PREVIOUS MASTERPLAN DIVVY aims to rigorously explore the fine grain lot methodolgy that aids in the creation and longevity of a diverse street face and skyline. The sustainability of the fabric relies on the blocks ability to adapt to the site’s evolving needs while policing resource accessibility and homogenous sprawl/ program isolation. Through the continued analysis of lot typologies, DIVVY nods to West 8’s Sporenburg masterplan.

This masterplan achieved diversity in form as well as diversity in evolution of form by creating a hierarchy of time/turnover.

This is most obvious in the ‘staple/sculptural’ buildings they place every few blocks to act as the root of the block, a more permanent fixture to influence future growth.

DIVVY focuses on the design of the ‘staple’ building of it’s block. The design of this building is focused on maximizing the flexibility of a permanent structure without sacrificing lasting beauty and programmatic/formal nuances for “something that can be used for everything is - at the end of the day - not used for anything at all.” (Jacques Herzog) The following drawings illustrate the structural, programmatic, and formal hierarchy used to produce lasting piece of flexibile architecture.

A PUBLIC PARK FOR PLAY. SHRED THE PARK began as an exploration of how public spaces could become healthier, productive and democratic by promoting the ‘collective right’ to remake/make, use and belong. In order to achieve a public space that engages it’s a user in ways evolve the parks form and topography in tandem with the publics interests, a framework of infrastructure was designed to create opportunities for the appropriation of space .

ENDLESS REEL ‘Endless Reel’ is an intense infrastructural connection for the cinematic journey through the time and space of the city. Queen West is defined by it’s fine grain street face, pedestrians weaving in and out of boutique shops, bars/ restaurants, night life venues etc. In a future where Toronto begins to expand it’s transportation infrastructure (ie. building the Queen St subway or extending railways) we can begin to establish more centralizaed forms for the existing cultural hubs that radiate from these intersections. How can such massive infrastructure be imposed without losing the intimate, personalized and seemingly serendipitous pedestrian journey of Queen West + Parkdale?

THRESHOLDS + PASSAGE This project focuses on the sequential experience from eye level; first exploring existing thresholds + forms of circulation in the area in tandem with desired affects of nightlife, cinema and music. It aims to find elements that create the stage for our very own performance by seeing how one can maximize the interesections ability to alter and enhance our perception of others and our own ccupation in this space. By interpretting the site as a ‘gateway’ with a distinct set of existing stages stacked upon one another the project weaves through the underpass carefully integrating itself while also distinguishable as a major hub of creation.
