This collection of work explores architecture in its progression of impact and importance, ranging from the theories that guide the overall process, to the smallest hand crafted details which guide the way humans experience designed spaces. All the projects explore the interaction of design with either collective human bodies, the body as a system, or the types of interactions the bodily systems have with the built environment. Architecture is nothing if there is no one to experience it, and it is irrelevant if it does not in some way affect or interrupt the human body.

The world is read through the human body, and just as equally, the built context is designed for its inhabitants. Originating from a common belief that modern architecture has an extreme lack of sensory rich spaces which allow for a spatial dialogue with the human body; this thesis explored ways to create sensory provocative conditions through the process of Sencentric Architecture. Stemming from the basic roots in phenomenology, its theories, principles and variety of manifestations, Sencentric Architecture questioned the role of the human body within the design process and the need for sensory stimulation as part of fulfilling the humanistic desire to exist in an architectural space. The project revealed the need for architecture to grasp the qualities of spatial conditions which give human consciousness and spatial awareness. It is about the responsibility that true architecture carries, to grant humanity with a sense of being and belonging. 4

Silent Spectrum Silent Spectrum is an exploratory condition of the way light and sound define the body within a space. The atmosphere created is one which withdraws the body from any sound experience, and forces it, for once, to listen to itself and heighten the other senses, becoming more sensitive. Initially overloading the senses by the busy setting of a metropolitan and running water, the sudden silence of the interiors if extremely awakening to the ears. The withdrawal of light causes the body to listen to echoes, the hands to find guiding elements such as handrails and the eyes to pause in an attempt to adapt to the dark interiors. Elevating the condition and the procession upwards gives the body a sensation of disassociation from the context. The final destination is a silent observation point, which terminates the upward resistance and forces a timely observation of light spots and the sun circles the condition.

Body Within The Body Within explored space by approaching it as a medium through which the human body passes. Space, always understood as a defined volume, never provides any sort of resistance and the body is allowed to travel through it by walking in the vertical alignment. This presents a condition in water, forcing the body into a horizontal alignment with a resistance to motion. The Body Within also explores the uncommon condition, where open space is used to create barriers. The procession is a play with the motion of water, as its highly effected by the elements at the beginning, while the closed off ending is still and quiet. Floating in water allows for the body to relax and experience the procession of time, to allow for visual stimulation. The Body Within proposes the question of what design is, and the medium which is it in. Outside the regular pools and spas, there is too little of experimental design with water.

Aura of Light The Aura of Light looks at the relations between the body and light, the passing of time, navigation and warmth of light. Light, being one that gives material colour, apparent texture and prescribed qualities, varies through the procession by expressing the reflective and playful nature of water features, the fine slit of an opening which runs north to south and lastly, the changing of colour throughout the day as designed features express time by altering of an enclosed space through colour. With the procession made as the lowering of the body into the ground, the light becomes more controllable and a defining character of the interiors. With concrete interiors, and the warmth yet cool of the earth, the sunlight is felt as an extremely comforting element of the condition. The ears are stimulated by the running water adjacent to the descent, while the final procession is quiet, allowing for observation of the colour and atmosphere change over time. 10

Guiding Touch The Guiding Touch explores the effects of touch and size of space on the body. With a procession that forces the body to feel the environment closing in on it, the hands are given the opportunity to touch all four surfaces of the space as the path is based on the average body size and limb spans. Located in a harsh environment the condition is a comforting yet overwhelming environment. Intimate and small in nature, the condition is a short intense experience with a quick change in sensation. Sound echoes through out the path as the two openings, located at a 90 degree angle from each other, capture whistling winds, sand and stone steps from around the corner. The condition is most intense at the turn as it has narrowed to the span just large enough for a human body to pass, the ceiling is most jagged dropping low enough to be touched, with a slit piercing through the solid form to introduce a lighting element facing true south.

Humber Bay Master Plan asks for one to re-envision the planning regulations and ideas for Toronto and surrounding areas. With the heavy load that the downtown Toronto core is attempting to respond to, there is a strong need for satellite zones, providing residents and businesses an alternative option. Proposing a development on land which has previously serviced everything from factories, housing to sewer plants, regulations and organization becomes critical. Many areas demanding revitalization of the soil, need to structure basic frameworks for land developments, and a push towards a mixology of programmatic uses. Locating the development in respects to available public transportation with various large roadways passing through, makes it easily accessible, well connected to the core and leaves opportunity for future growth and development.

The plan structured three aspects of the city: Real Estate, Infrastructure and Landscape. Real Estate looked at creating an alternative core to increase the budget and divert the overload from downtown. Infrastructure was adjusted to make for a more pedestrian friendly city along with additional public transit extensions.

The proposed development looked at introducing the many needed facilities such as schools, centers and a transportation center. It is critical to maintain direct access to the city center while providing required amenities for the sustaining of a family. The intensified proposed zone demands a new typology of building. The suggested proposal explored the ideas of a walking city along with the many issues with non permanent structures. It looked at creating a network of structures which would serve a variety of services and intensities depending on the needs at each location. With the ability to create a number of varying combination of units, the typology would house all, from singles to families.

Re-envision of Detroit came as a study and critique of the master plan, suggested for the future and re-vitalization of the city of Detroit. With the absence of an economic system, endless closings of educational facilities and lack of employment opportunities, the city demanded a ‘bottom up’ through architectural intervention. This proposal suggests an alternative approach to community building where structures are built to serve multiple programmatic needs. The built structures on the lot were pushed to the exteriors to promote bettering of in-between spaces and guiding communities to rebuild themselves from the ground up. With security being an issue, the internalization of open spaces allows for community watch with less need of fences and simple gestures of spatial separation become enough. Advances such as solar energy allow for a sustainable operation while gardens facilitate inclusivity and participation. 2 2 22

The proposal was structured on the three existing grids found within the City of Detroit. They structured the arrangement of elements and connections to the perimeter streets. The multi programmatic facilities looked at the time of use for each program along with the type of space required. From that, a number of building typologies were created. Material focus of wood, glass and steel is both natural to the manufacturing availability of Detroit, easily accessible and visually pleasing. In a time when many facilities are closing, this allows for continuous use of facilities, making them versatile and accessible for everyone from toddlers to elderly. Gardens allow for better food within schools and residents of surrounding area and encourage community growth and stability. When successful, this will naturally bring growth to the neighbourhood.

The Toronto Museum Project questioned both the approach to the design of a modern museum as well as the additional uses to spaces adjacent to and financially dependent spaces that help run such social conditions. Being a museum of over 100 Toronto artifacts ranging in size, the space naturally demanded an intimate relationship with each artifact and the observer, forcing the gallery below grade. This allows for full control of conditions, while leaving the above ground for financially generating spaces such as office spaces and auditoriums. The strong, solid appearing facade of the museum is in fact a set of delicate details, responding to the chaos and heavy traffic flows of the Wellesley, Church and Front Street intersection. The open glazing at ground floor allows light to brighten up the streets at night while appearing to step back and pull pedestrians in during the day.

The building looked at creating away to force the body to two extreme conditions. Main purpose of the gallery descent the visitors underground with a large gesture of a grand staircase at the entrance and the slanted/ obstructive walls. The absence of everything but the artifacts and people created an intimate relationship between them. Floors above grade were granted the ultimate view of the city, and promoted open spaces and ease of circulation through them. The theater, with the stage lowered to the back of the building provides a focus area, while the ability to open the opposite wall towards the city suggests a framing and focal point of discovery. The offices available for rent and additional income for the museum are a premium space of property in downtown Toronto with open and flexible floor plans. The louvers on the outside allow for all natural lighting, yet making it private as pedestrians and other offices do no have a direct view inside. | Ilona a Korotkevich |

The upper levels of the building allow for a financial revenue to help overlook and run the museum. With office space available for rent, this provides a high income for the company, especially located in the core of downtown Toronto. The floor plate allows for a large internal open workspace while lining the perimeter with offices and necessary spaces. The theatre allows for public and private events, helping with revenue, while providing a beautiful space with a great view on to the neighbourhood. The nature of theatre seating adds to the dramatic opening and focusing of the Gallery entrance, becoming a welcoming space for the public. The Gallery was about a procession of the body and its dialogue with the artifacts rather than the surrounding environment. As the visitors descend, the space decreases in height and the displays become more intimate, displaying finer artifacts. By maintaining the same descent procession and lowering the ceiling heights, suspense is built between the body and artifacts as it descends.

Circadian house came about as a study exploring the effects of living environments, daily regimes and functions which architecture can construct to engage the physical body and regulate internal organ functions. The single family house is based on the 24 hour functions of both adults and children. An outlines of daily functions structures the events and placement of spaces, in relation to environmental conditions. With the common health problem of sleep deprivation, the bedroom is tucked away in the basement, to provide a darker, cooler space. The first rays of light reach right onto the pillows to awake the body and kick start all the functions of the body. The office and workspace located at the brightest and highest point for the most productive space. The kitchen placed mid level as the body passes it multiple times a day, with plenty of lighting to support a healthy diet. Bathroom tucked into an enclosed space, promotes full focus on cleansing of the body. 38

The Spatial Iteration looked at the possible arrangement of the various rooms within a space. The grid created to mimic the common 25 foot lot property for a Toronto House. The Ribbon Path Iteration looked at the order in which the spaces would be visited. This revealed which spaces need to be adjacent to which, where the paths of child and adult meet and where the vertical circulation become necessary.
The Volumetric Exploration combines the approximate volumes of each space into a basic form. This break down helps structure the house, understand the required orientation of the spaces and further relationships of the spaces.
The final form was a procession of transformation from a solid form to carve internal usable spaces. | Ilona Korotkevich |

Architecture is not only the construction of spaces, but also the elements within the space. Synapse evolved out of a desire for a participating member of a condition, which responds to human presence. Synapse becomes an individual spatial member which emits a presence by mimicking the breathing of a human. The Synapse awakens when it senses a human presence within a proximity and responds by flashing on the side of approach and making self present. Being able to senses incoming bodies across the whole circumference, Synapse is a more self aware participant than the individuals it comes in contact with. This explores the suggestion of responsive architecture and elements which change with time and human interaction. Both develop dependency on one another for their existence which marking own personal spaces.

JOINT DETAIL
Synapse is constructed from both electrical and physical processes. The physical form manifested itself from the idea of a flipped tree trunk. It was realized through the frame, cloth and panels derived with Grasshopper. The electrical was made functional through the dictation and direction of a Uno Arduino, receiving and outputing info through sensors and LEDs. The desired behaviour was scripted through Processing with endless trial runs and fixes between the inputs and outputs. Synapse was built on a set of parameters and limitations which structured the outcome and responses of the installation. Designed through rigourous testing of the coding and multiple assembly solutions to perfect the details, Synapse currently stands in front of the office at Ryerson University, greeting and interacting with all the individuals passing by and especially those who approach it.

Mӧ came to life as an exploration of the possibilities of constructing a lighting element with easy construction and limited size presentation/ packaging. With a focus of cheap and time sensitive production method, the laser cutter was optimized to produce a number of fitting parts and a presentation base to hold and layout the elements. The packaging became an obvious place for instructions, in a simplistic IKEA like manner, in ten easy steps. The kit, (excluding the light bulb and electric cord) fits slimly into a letter sized envelope. In an age where simplicity and efficiency is a primary selling point, alongside with a low price tag, makes objects most accessible to the highest percentage of the population. Lastly, Mӧ is unique to every individual who puts it together. Despite having an overall common form, how one wraps the ribbons will never be identical to another, varying in size, density and the cast shadows. 50

Mӧ’s strength in design came from the apart simplicity of the final product, and its efficiency of material use. Throughout the testing process, materials were tested to allow for the most effective and diffusive light qualities. Milar performed best being a light-weight, thin and heat resistant for this purpose. The frame went through variations to create the most evenly spread support for the mylar ribbon, while creating a beginning and ending hooks for loops. The light bulb being the last opportunity for variation was tested with various colours to test their esthetics in comparison to the effectiveness of the lighting quality. The simple white light bulb preformed best despite the red and blue bringing their own qualities.

The material choice presents the idea that objects might be able to be printed out of natural materials such as wood, which would be healthier for the users and less damaging to the environment.

The form explorations looked at the way a human hand can sculpt a form based on the delicacy and structure of the material. This criticizes the endless possibilities of form manipulations in the digital world as qualities and strengths of materials do not exist in that realm.

Ilona Korotkevich proposes a number of architectural explorations, exploring each from a unique design process, programmatic and functional requirements and their realtionships with the human body. this collection of work is a sample of bachelor of architectural science degree and master of architecture degree, both completed at Ryerson University. The work clearly illustrates a design methodology which prioritizes the creation and construction of unique conditions for the body. It is only through the stimulation of the body senses that humans understand their built and natural context, which is the true responsibility of architecture. The book reveals a spectrum of projects which suggest resolutions varying from theories, all the way down to the finest details of lighting elements.
