This studio project studies architecture in a Rentist society, which is one of four post-capitalist worlds defined by Peter Frase in Four Futures. Frase outlines four potential futures that our post-capitalist world could resemble; a world of communism, rentism, socialism or exterminism and The One is focused in Rentism, which is defined as a society that is controlled by a single, powerful company. The site of Toronto Islands is to act as a new form of architecture derived from rentism and serves as an educational institution for youth and successful creators. In a world where one company controls all copyrights and ownership, people in a rentist society rent everything they need to survive and therefore, personal ownership is no longer an option for the public. To maintain further control of the society, the same company also controls the education system for the youth in their society. Youth around the world are sent to educational institutions at birth and spend their days growing, developing and learning in accordance with the company’s regulations. This system allows the company to harvest and subsequently own the thoughts and ideas of the youth. When the youth no longer produce innovative ideas, they are no longer useful and consequently resume a rentist lifestyle to make enough money to rent their next meal or pair of socks. The only way people find enjoyment in this world is by escaping to digital realities and virtual environments, as any physical and real commodities are far too expensive for the majority of the population. The One is an architectural study of one of the aforesaid educational facilities. With a primary focus on the digital and physical methods of education in the future of rentism, the building focuses on user experiences as they navigate through the seven key spaces in the tower. Adapted from principles like the vertical city and the natural path that one takes as they move through open spaces; the building’s circulation does not define how one must move through the tower. Rather, the movement and exploration are open to the interpretation of its user and as the youth move through such spaces, they can see, touch and interact with these physical volumes. These spaces are intended to influence the thought processes of the youth and ultimately affect their perspective and ideas when working in the digital.
The focus of this studio was to demonstrate architectural ides and concepts through the use of a singular drawing type. The section was chosen to best represent The One, to capture the properties of the physical volumes and to express the vertical circulation one would experience as they move up through the tower. The left section represents the integration of the digital and the physical into a single tower. The repetitive floor slabs identify the spaces where digital education would occur. The program no longer directs the use of the space, as it is only a volume of which the technology is housed for the youth to go into the digital world of education and exploration. The right drawing represents the spaces that one would experience as they circulate through the tower.

The BENGA Secondary School focuses on integrating community and social interaction for its students and permanent staff by offering them various levels of inclusivity and privacy throughout the campus. The schools courtyards are meant to serve students and teachers as sheltered community spaces that foster interaction and connection. Therefore, the program of the school is arranged into three identifiable blocks, each with their own internal courtyard. The school’s educational and public facilities as one, student dormitories and dining as another, and the teacher’s houses as a third. As the day progresses, the interactions resulting from the building’s program relate to a unique courtyard space. At its core, the site consists of numerous guiding walls that segment the campus into linear sections. These walls become a datum for the school, as they are the
Adobe Suite
framework for the building’s program and organization of the interior spaces that rest in between. Moreover, these continuous walls create a series of interstitial and private spaces for effective use of the classrooms, the students, and the teachers. These datum walls also define the communal courtyards where students can gather, while also creating intermediate alcoves and areas that give students access to various private, individual-like spaces. The walls are situated on a Southeast to Northwest axis in order to capture prevailing southeasterly winds, which are then guided into the courtyards and interior spaces by the high-sloping roofs that rest on a lightweight metal space frame structures. The wind funneling through the architecture creates a cooler microclimate-like condition in the courtyards, making them more enjoyable exterior spaces.

ASC 856: The Small Building
Adobe Suite
The livelihood and values of a fisherman, as one could imagine, are pure and simplistic and their studio should reflect that essence, accordingly. The Fisherman’s Studio typology goes beyond the programmatic function that a typical cottage or fisherman’s cabin would provide. Rather than a living space or simply a facility to store fishing gear, the studio’s purpose is meant to empower the art of fishing and the practice of preparing and cooking fish. The Studio is identified as two masses; one of solid materiality and one of transparency. The solid mass uses vertical wood slats to blend the building in with its wooded surroundings when viewed from the lake. The second, a large ‘wall’ that is cladded with semitransparent corrugated polycarbonate sheets. This wall provides storage space for the fisherman, while also providing a source of natural light for the interior space. Moreover, the polycarbonate’s ‘lightness’ and minimalist
expression acts as a canvas for the immediate vegetation. The transparency of the wall is also intended to maintain the Fisherman’s connection to the outdoors as they use the facilities inside.
The render illustrates the material difference between the two primary elements. Further, the studio rests lightly above the landscape. The structure is fastened to small concrete piles that are drilled into the bed rock. The studio is divided into two primary areas; A kitchen/work space for the fisherman and a storage wall. The kitchen and workshop space provide the Fisherman with the essential tools needed in order to catch, clean and prepare fish. The ends of the storage walls are tapered to maintain sight lines towards and out from the studio.

The museum is a permanent exhibition for the sculpture artist Marco Cianfanelli. Cianfanelli plays a lot with illusions and the direction of approach in his works. As one moves around his sculptures, their understanding of the art piece is developed, further. Sculpt Museum highlights the importance of how a change of approach to an object can alter the way the object is understood. The museum is very focused on movement through space, where the circulation allows people to reflect on previous spaces from a different view, in order to generate an alternate understanding of the objects and art pieces they have previously seen.

The building elevates itself above the ground plane. This is a response to the surrounding site context and as a strategy to influence a change of approach to the entry of a building. The museum directs people up through the bottom of the primary gallery space as an immediate influence for its users to understand the significance of the alternate approach when viewing the sculptures, inside. The ground plane is kept open to allow people to pass underneath the gallery, which addresses the circulation of the site and surrounding context. Further, a cafe and artist workshop are situated on the ground floor, as they are to act as spaces that interact with the public.

Situated in the heart of Corktown on the east side of downtown Toronto, at the corner of King Street East and Power Street, this building is challenged by a strong retail frontage to the south and a serene presence to the east. This building focuses on the advantages of the different atmospheres of these streets; locating retail and public amenity spaces facing King Street and maximizing residential programing along Power Street. Moreover, the building offers outdoor spaces for the public area and individual units, resulting in a dynamic layout through

the building with many balconies, outdoor patios and green spaces. The gentle angled mass allows for a lively arrangement and variation in units, while simultaneously maximizing street-to-program relations. The gentle tilt of the volume also opens the ground plane for a public green space outside the main entrance. The angle also focuses the facing view of the residents towards a quieter context to the northeast, versus the bustling King Street East, to the south.

Digital Medium: AutoCAD, Rhino, Grasshopper, Arduino, Firefly, Adobe Suite
Physical Medium: MDF, Cardboard, Felt, Plywood The aim of this proposal is to create a continuous wall and ceiling intervention that acts as a bandshell behind the stage at The Hideout Bar in Toronto. The purpose of this intervention is to actively change the acoustic performance of the space by responding to the varying decibel levels during a stage performance or event. An array of acoustic panels responds to both the sound levels and emitted location and actuates to improves the acoustic performance of the stage by varying the amount of exposed absorptive or reflective material. The responsive acoustic panels follow a pleated flower geometry that opens and closes as the system senses and responds to the environment’s changing decibel levels. The interior of the flower geometry will be laminated with an acoustically absorbent felt. As the flower geometry

opens and closes, the degree of exposed absorbent material will change; altering the acoustic properties of the bandshell surface in its entirety. The panels will have two actuation limits that represent the fully closed and fully open positions, the system will then vary the exact actuation degree (between these defined limits) based on the decibel level and location of the sound source. Each folded panel will be contained in its own housing that includes the mechanical hardware components that open and close the system, this assembly will then be arrayed across the bandshell surface and connected to produce the final responsive system. The contents of this project includes a 1:1 Physical Prototype and set of drawings that show the intentions of the overall proposed intervention.

Lucent is a temporary installation proposal for the Ontario Science Centre and is guided towards youth to create an immersive experience that educates about modern technologies and issues that are relevant in our world, today. The installation consists of an undulated surface from the 838 RGB-LED lights in acrylic cubes hanging at different lengths, above. Each light is individually programed to a circuit where young people will be able to turn on specific lights with a specific colour. The youth would interact with child-friendly circuits that are wirelessly linked to the lights and when a certain circuit is created, the hanging lights create a momentary performance. 30 HACHE

Structural Plan
The assembly of the installation would consist of a modular kit of parts. This would allow for accessible construction and removal of the pieces. The columns of the structure would be enclosed inside storage shelving and seating to maintain the playfulness of the space while also retaining practicality and efficiency.
Virtual Reality Render (page 20/21): The proposal for the installation was done using virtual reality software; the space was designed in 3D programing using Rhino 5.0, where it was converted into a virtual reality model. The 12 images consist of 6 duplicated images. This represents the cube enclosure that is needed for each eye in order to process the Virtual Reality space.

ASC 730: Construction Case Studies Advanced
This model is an exploration of the digital influence on the main architectural and structural expressions of the Les Turbulences addition to the FRAC Centre in Orléans, France. In brief, the architect duo of Jakob + MacFarlane designed the Les Turbulence building through digital technology and carried the digital into much of the fabrication and architectural expression in the exterior skin, which makes up the formal understanding of the building. The fragment and scale of this model was selected to maximize the different architectural and structural expressions that the Les Turbulences attempts to portray in its facetted surface; to explore the ability to create a rather fluid and undulated surface through a rigid panelized composition, both on the interior and exterior, and how the structure relates to such a system. Also, to test the idea of a media façade integrated into the surface

and its influence on the material understanding of the building. Furthermore, the model is also a study of how digital design, digital fabrication, and digital architectural expression are all integrated into one building (or in this case, a fragment/detail model). In avoidance to simply just explore the composition of the wall section, which doesn’t stray far from a typical aluminum exterior panel assembly, the model detail is approximately 1:40 in scale and is a rather diagrammatic version of the actual detail that is being studied. However, all the materials have been chosen to best understand the buildings materiality and the statement from above; the architectural intent of the building and the integration of the digital into the design, fabrication, and final expression.

One prominent investigation with this model was to criticize the media facade element that was harbored within the wall section. To determine whether or not the lighting resulted in a potential de-materialization of the building/model and if it reads any differently than a “steel” building/model when the lights are activated.

When considering a Multicultural Centre for Canada and Toronto, the building would be identified as a place of multiculturalism by simply creating a space for the expression and acceptance of culture. As Toronto’s multicultural climate becomes increasingly diverse, the building would respectively emulate that cultural mosaic on a smaller scale. The building would be viewed as a whole while still being made up of noticeably different sections, those sections representing different cultures. The galleries and performance spaces would create additional opportunities for people of different cultures to demonstrate their works in an attempt to collaborate, teach, learn and perform.

Recognition: B + H Architects Scholarship, Ryerson Site: Parliament Square Park, Toronto, Ontario This building is also meant to act as a community Hub for those who visit the space and also the neighbourhood where it resides. The main theme that the building needed to address was multiculturalism and how it is relevant in Toronto’s urban society. With this perspective, the building program needed to enhance the understanding of multiculturalism while acting as a functional space for the community to collaborate, teach, learn, and perform. The building focuses on creating cultural spaces and galleries for the public to experience and enjoy. The additional program rests naturally behind such areas. This allows an individual’s focus to be on the cultural presence of the space as they move through the building.

The form of the building rotates to the angles of the site, playing off the Distillery District to the southeast and Parliament Square Park and the Esplanade to the south and west. The building massing also elevates itself from the ground plane in order to activate the main floor programming and public spaces with the surrounding site context. Moreover, the gentle lift invites people into the building and into the more organized program and gallery spaces on the floors above. The elevated form is articulated with different materiality. The ground floor remains transparent through the public spaces of the building and vertical wood and precast concrete louvers identify the ‘solid’ massing above.

ASC 301: Integration Studio II Project: Phase 2
Partner: John Benner The Centre for Cultural Arts is the second phase to a twopart design challenge. This project is a further developed rendition of the previous multicultural centre from phase one. The aim for this phase was to further develop the main architectural concepts and design into a more refined building, both in a constructability manner and in conceptual thinking. Located adjacent to Parliament Square Park in Toronto, Ontario, the Centre houses multiple galleries and performance spaces that serve to educate visitors on the rich cultural diversity present in the Canadian context.

Site: Parliament Square Park, Toronto, Ontario The massing of the building is inspired by sculpture and performance. As the form swoops, lifts, and bends throughout the site, it creates a visual performance on the exterior of the building. This movement also guides visitors to the primary entrance of the building and is then carried along the interior, to further lead the users through the internal performance and gallery spaces. In pursuit of the idealistic presentation of the form as the main volume of the building, there were numerous iterations of this element in design and finding an efficient way to digitally model this was an essential tool in our design process.

Partial section cut through the undulating form that flows through and around all areas of the building. One of the biggest challenges throughout the project was the design and detailing of the undulating form. There were many iterations of the form, all to find the most idealistic way on how it would present itself as the main volume of the building. Therefore, finding an efficient way to digitally model this form was an essential tool in our
design process. With the help of digital modeling software we could simplify the complications of the form and therefore apply these tools towards more finite design elements; such as the development and integration of structure, lighting, building M.E.P services, materiality and finishes.
