I feel this will be a very necessary skill with the environment increasingly driving economics
Most of my experience takes place during the construction phase for most of the projects I have worked on. I have managed construction as both while employed by contractor and project manager

I have a full year of experience dealing with K-12 public schools. For a school in Milton I was employed at an Architecture firm during the Design and CD phase and then sought employment at the GC company that managed its construction and worked on the project from conception to delivery.
Revit Collaboration During our third year in school our team was tasked with creating a full set of construction drawings. This included everything from schedules, details, wall sections and annotated plans to industry level standards for a commercial building. I lead the team in setting up the file and teaching the members how use annotations, and create advanced completely linked schedules

PAST TRAVEL EXPERIENCE
Thesis Individual This thesis explores a design of a colony in outer space able to comfortably sustain a dense growing population of 1 million inhabitants. This visionary colony, will exist in the Moon-Earth Lagrange Point 1 and aims to take advantage of the unique physical, phenomenological, and technological aspects of space while providing a level of comfort on par with that of a first world city. This paper engages the practice of architecture by exploring past our current ability of habitation, enabled by being surrounded in an outer space context, ultimately trying to answer the question of ‘what sequence of events will allow for self-sustaining, expanding, city in space and what type of life may we lead within?’ The major axioms in this thesis will revolve primarily around four categories: the potential technology required, the abstract mechanics of how various systems would interact to support life, the timeline that would require a space colony to be built and the urban design that a city of the sky should enjoy. The goal is to synthesize these three areas and ultimately determine the schematic design approach of a space colony. To this end topics relating to, energy production, mining, ecological footprint, modern scenes of fantasy, mechanical and structural engineering, alternative housing, linear cities and political governing will be explored topics of study. The overarching goal of all of this is to discover how we can to build a habitat in orbital space based on our current and projected technology and to explore the emerging field of space urbanism.

University of Waterlooneed also holding undergraduate degree in architecture from Ryerson University. He is a LEED Green Associate with over a year of experience in a series of construc�on/architecture firms. . The majority of his experience lies in ins�tu�onal design and construc�on. His strongest skills are visualiza�on, construc�on management and building science. His current goal is to gain employment in a large firm and accumulate his hours to become a licensed architect.
Initial habitation modules with the added modules for agriculture. The colony as a whole when the agriculture is added will grow as a quadruple helix to form a cylinder. The two agricultural modules also need to be made in pairs in order to maintain complete balance. They do not need to match the mass of the habitation modules.

Master of Architecture
The structure of the individual units will be 3D printed out of concrete and steel. They can be customized to any degree so long as there is a central structural member going through its center of gravity. Housing modules are transported via train to the tensile building structure. Housing modules are hoisted up via a mechanical pulley to be attached to tensile ring. Multiple modules are built one under another to form a grape vine of housing.
Thesis
Tensile Members act like bike spokes to support the floor of the colony. Tensile Members also support a tension Mesh. High density housing blocks are supported on the tension ring. Buildings appear to float.

Mixed Use Student Residence
Individual Standing as a multi-unit student residential project featuring office space down below, this intervention strives to introduce Ryerson’s Digital Media initiatives to the rest of the university by using a bridge to connect the public areas to the private office space. The ground floor lobby features several gathering spaces that look down on to the Digital Media Zone’s new. This idea of the bridge is also taken up to the residential floors with west end of every other floor featuring an open to below section allowing for visual communication for the student residents between floors.

Community Center 1
Individual Currently the sounding context is sandwiched between the entertainment district to the north and a quickly developing high rise condominium area to the south. On paper the area is well served with many amenities that are included in the high rise condominiums, but these areas are tend to be exclusive and often included as an afterthought for marketing purposes. The solution, build a community center with a marvel to compete with the sounding urban context. The idea came from a desire to combine the organic aspects two parks directly adjacent with the linear and more rigid form that most of the city assumes, what results is a faceted organic form. The spacial organization was then modeled around a tree, again as tribute to the parks with each of the programs being the branches that all stem from the trunk that is the atrium.

Community Center 2
In collaboration with Charles Bennett. This community center is centered around the desire to connect the busyness of King Street with the quite cove of Wellington Street in tandem with creating a center to the parks to the north, east and west. This is done by reinforcing a lane-way connection between the two streets by landscaping and including all of the main entryways on the path. The building is centered around verticality ordered by increasing privacy as the user ascends using vertical wood fins in varying density to block and allow sightliness. The mass is separated into five volumes with each space forming an atrium where all the vertical circulation occurs. This also forms a chimney effect allowing for the building to naturally ventilate itself.

Lookout Tower Individual The design engages the site through submersion, hiding among the foliage, with its staircase shaft cloaked in 2 way mirrored glass. The resultant is a floating box, eying the Toronto skyline allowing for users to admire its beauty in a calming natural setting. This is further reinforced by its reliance on the sun for lighting, including openings in the roof to create rays of light that move with the sun. The tower accommodates the communal aspect of the island providing spaces that can be engaged in a shared manner by both able bodied and disabled users. The plan is primarily a raised open terrace with seating available including a view directed towards the city and back towards the park.

Beach Chair Installation
In collaboration with Kenan Elsässer The design process started with the question of what we expect to see at the beach in summer and how to incorporate those familiar elements in winter. The beach chair and umbrella was determined to be the most iconic representation. The theme of humour was selected and this was done through a simple play of the scale. The result would intrigue and shock the viewer by providing a very unorthodox form that they could interact with.

Chinese Spa Building designed Individually. Site designed in collaboration with Ting Ting, Mahan Navabi, Jiapei Li, and Jin Sun. A need displayed by the lack of recreational buildings, an abundance of hotels, and an up and coming community for young professionals this Spa designed in the new style aims to provide revenue for the park, create an magnet attracting people to the site and provide a series of much needed facilities.
Various forms were explored keeping in mind how this would fit in with the Hefei context. The new Hui style was researched and their additive style of building was incorporated into the design in the form of overlaps
The building was also developed in section to highlight this area. The roofs sloped down towards the main circulation path.

A spa, needing an entrance, a pool, a hot tub, massage area and relaxation area
A form of spacial organization was loosely derived from the Chinese concept of elements. The belief is that all matter was composed of various amounts of wind, water fire and earth and when they come together they form energy.
Fitting in with the wandering theme of the rest of the park, there was to be no directed experiential route by providing a central circulation space where everything could originate from the center
These overlaps allowed for new spaces with different identities to be explored. Areas that came together could now have a new theme born as a result of the combination of the two themes.
The central circulatory area needed its own theme was to represent the energy and to set itself aside from the programing areas. A meeting space with its own contrasting geometry was employed
This was done in tandem with the knowledge of the Hefei region, which itself is surrounded by mountains.
The resultant form needed to have an exterior that relayed the notation of the strong, towering, wall. The design sought to reflect this by minimizing the amount of windows on each facade and taking a very monolithic approach.
