BIGTALK LIBRARY Re: DONALD McKAY 1B DESIGN STUDIO

APRIL 2015 – Structured around the idea of a collectively informed society, “Bigtalk Library” manifests the voices of the neighbourhood through an interactive architectural experience to encourage meaningful conversation about social, political, and environmental issues, in an effort to assert Canada’s democracy. In addition to having access to an extensive collection, visitors will be able to share opinions anonymously relating to recent events, and this participation will become a part of the library’s architecture.

Location: Toronto, ON, Canada Site Area: 649.83m2 Built Area: 470.64m2 Floor Area: 1052.13m2 Building Height: 14.05m Storeys: 3 Structure: Reinforced Concrete

Building mimics living organism. The nucleus instructs and informs program while the periphery executes it.

The only limitation to libraries is the speed at which information can be shared.

A central video wall, the “monolith“, acts as a means to keep the library’s content dynamic and relevant.

Trending news and city-related information are displayed on the monolith. The monolith informs visitors as well as showcases posts from trending hashtags.

Visitors have access to real-time opinions and are invited to share their own via the Internet.

OASIS

Re: TERRI BOAKE 1B ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN

APRIL 2015 – This concrete oasis provides a temporary shelter for desert wanderers.

Devoid of any specific program, this project is intended to accommodate a variety of activities. Glass railings on the second floor are intended to reflect morning and evening sunshine, acting as a shining beacon for distant visitors. As time passes, the building is meant to deteriorate and return to sand.

“There is nothing in the desert. And no man needs nothing.”

RE:STUDIO Re: RICK ANDRIGHETTI 1A DESIGN STUDIO

DECEMBER 2014 – Re:Studio provides a temporary residence and workspace for its tennant. Perched above the Grand River, this residence-studio provides ample space for any artist. The studio is large enough to accommodate large-scale projects as well as several smaller ones. There is enough counter space to allow the artist to let their work proliferate throughout the house, and enough storage to hide it when needed.

CHROMATIC RENAISSANCE

NOVEMBER 2015 — In response to a dependency on monochromatic photography, I felt the need to create a series of images that would be “lesser” if not in full colour.

This series is an effort to reattach myself to the realm of coloured works, testing my ability to compose two subjects: one of matter and one of light. http://www.i-en.ca/photo/#/chromatic-renaissance/

TALCUM

27 FEBRUARY 2015 — This series served as a brief study into the texture and versatility of Talcum powder. Wet, it can be clad onto the face. Dry, it softens any surface while simultaneously matting it and decreasing its contrast. When blown into the air, its gaseous appearance emphasizes ephemeral movement. http://www.i-en.ca/photo/#/talcum-1/

STAB VARIATION

11 AUGUST 2015 — A visual experiment involving desaturation and varying degrees of digital manipulation to create a juxtaposed feeling of beauty. I’m searching for the threshold in which a human figure is synchronously seductive and repulsive. http://www.i-en.ca/photo/#/stab/

OCTOPUS

8 MARCH 2015 — With mild inspiration from Chinese photographer Ren Hang, this mini series uses the sticky, smelly mollusk in a juxtaposition of beauty. http://www.i-en.ca/photo/#/octopus/

It can be quiet and personal and strong.

A promise to leave the world a better place than you found it.

Never forget that.”
