Section | CV + Bio
I grew up in Windsor, Ontario where I attended Academie Ste Cecile International School for grades 1 through 12. While attending the academy I met students from around the world, many with whom I remain friends today. At the age of 14, I travelled to Florence, Italy with my sister where I spent the summer studying Italian at a local University and experiencing the culture. In 2008, I enrolled in the University of Windsor taking, primarily, mathamatics - based courses. I then transfered to St. Clair College of Applied Arts and Technology in 2009 where I studied Architectural Technology. I remained at St. Clair College for an additional year of design studies in preparation for transfering to a University design program. Upon graduating from St. Clair in 2013, I decided to take time to gain work experience before continuing my education. In 2013 I moved to Regina, Saskatchewan in order to work at an architectural design firm, where I remained for 2 years. There I gained experience in all facets of the architectural field, and quickly earned responsibility working on large projects. In 2015 I decided to return to Windsor in preparation for advancing my formal education. With the experience I had gained in Saskatchewan I was offered a position at an architectural firm in Windsor where I continued to gain experience on ever increasingly larger and more exciting projects while preparing for school. In 2016 I was accepted to attend Dalhousie University to continue my studies. There, I am curerntly studying Management and Sustainability which I believe will provide a strong base for later studies and a career in the architectural field. My roots are of Italian and Canadian decent, and I have travelled back to Italy a number of times with friends and family. In 2006 I toured southern Italy (Calabria) with my father and sister to see the small town where my father was born. From the age of 12 to 17 I spent much of my time racing road bicycles for a local Windsor team (The Maple Leafs). I competed in racing events throughout eastern Canada and the United States, training everyday, with some years reaching up to 45,000 km ridden on the bike. This dedication to craft I take with me today and apply that discipline to everything I do. I still ride my road bike today, however, not at a competitive level. My goals are to become a registered Architect. With the experience gained in Saskatchewan and Ontario I have a keen interest in project management and project administration, and would like to specialize in all aspects of project delivery. My current general design interests are presently influenced by contemporary Japanese architecture, and ‘mechanical-contemporary’ design that utilizes inventive and fun ways of solving details, however, these interests are ever changing as I learn about new designs and architects. I believe that good design solves functional and aesthetic needs by balancing budgetary, sustainability, and technical details.

To Admissions Staff: RE: Architecture Program – John Lucente John was employed at the office of Archon Architects Incorporated from August 2015 to August 2016, when he returned to his studies at University. We brought John on to assist with work load on a temporary summer basis, but kept him on until his departure for school. John demonstrated a good appreciation and understanding of both the technical and design aspects of architectural work. He was able to grasp the rigors of detailing and wording, and become productive in producing working drawings and contract administration documents in a short time. He strives to understand what he is drawing and does not hesitate to dig deeper on his own or ask when he needs clarification. John is a diligent independent worker who can work through issues even when direct feedback is not available. He exhibited a keen enthusiasm and interest for design and did not hesitate to offer his own ideas and concepts while developing a concept for others. John often challenged me on design decisions both big and small, while remaining an amicable and willing sounding board for ideas. John worked on the project management phase of a major renovation to convert shop space into the corporate head offices for a multi-national industrial client, in a conventional relationship direct with the client. An extensive amount of owner initiated changes during construction required a full range of site inspection, design, redesign and detailing services which broadened John’s experiences. Designing on the fly while trying to keep construction progressing required changing gears rapidly from review, to analysis and design, to detailing, pricing and back to review of construction. John performed well and never backed down from a challenge or hesitated to jump into any situation. A new $8M pool addition to a municipal recreation facility, working under the design builder, provided John a unique and challenging opportunity to experience a different project delivery method, while working closely on the interior design, researching products and detailing. To meet the budget we embraced the industrial pre-engineered construction dictated by the design builder and worked out a colour scheme that took the exposed galvanized structural components as the starting point to produce an elegant shell, and enlivened it by making an art installation from the required acoustic panels. John lead the way in researching a wide variety of acoustic systems to find a system that met the acoustical requirements, could survive in the harsh pool environment, was easy to install and had the colour range, size range and aesthetic character to be both a background pattern and graphic focus of the art installation. John was a full participant in all design discussions and presentations to the city steering committee to develop the design and gain consensus for the final solution, which has garnered wide spread appreciation from city staff and the community at large.

2 John proved to be a willing and capable draftsman and designer. Though only with us for one year, the main projects provided John a full range of the factors that architects balance throughout their careers, including but certainly not limited to technical, aesthetic, cost, schedule, client relations, competing politics within user groups, and navigating the nuances between a design builder client and a municipality. John performed well and beyond his experience. I would not hesitate to recommend John for your professional architectural program. Sincerely,
Anthony J. Gyemi, B.Arch. OAA Architect / Principal / Owner

interior rendering
School: St. Clair College Year: 2012 Brief: Design and produce working drawings for an addition + renovation of an architectural office. (following specific area requirements, buildiing code, and city regulations) Remarks: The existing building was situated on a rearward-sloping site with a ravene and creek in the back which provided ideal views. The building’s functional areas are separated into the front end ‘public space’, and the back end ‘private office space’. The office space incorporates open-concept working environments in the core and traditional offices for privacy. All interior office partitions are glazed to allow full views out the fully-glazed rear facade. Large spiderglass glazing systems and skylights provide natural light througfhout the building.

School: St. Clair College Year: 2013 Brief: Design and produce working drawings for a new residential home. (following specific area requirements, buildiing code, and city regulations) Remarks: Seperating the building’s functional requirements into private and communal spaces gave way to two contrasting forms. The second floor structural steel and corten cladding houses the bedrooms and family room while the first floor cast in place concrete structure houses the living/dining room and kitchen spaces. The negative space under the second floor provides a sheltered portico and main entrance in the front, and a covered patio in the rear. The two forms house the distinct private/public spaces and contrast each other by building materials on the exterior.

School: N/A Year: 2013 Brief: Why Tall? - CTBUH Competition IInvestigate how and why building up rather than out is important in today’s world. Remarks: The vertical greenhouse incorporates hotel, condo, commercial, restaurant, and convention spaces with the idea of being a self sufficient and sustainable addition to the downtown core of Windsor Ontario. It consists of double height floor plates suspended in an open-air atrium that provides an open and voluminous circulation of air. The specific site is the proposed canal project that flows onto the Detroit River. The building design incorporates a photovoltaic, rain-catcher, and cistern on the roof for electricity and plant irrigation, and draws inspiration from the organic forms of tree trunks and pedals of a lotus flower. building rendering

04 The Highline building section rendering
School: St. Clair College Year: 2013 Brief: Design a temporary art gallery underneath the Highline in New York. Remarks: The design draws inspiration primarily from Santiago Calatrava’s City of Arts and Sciences in Spain. The concept represents the artist’s eye looking out into the streets on New York. By using curved concave spider glass as the lense and hanging bleached plywood as eyelashes, the front facade of the gallery reaches out into the streetway giving a focal point in either direction as you approach. The plywood ceiling panels also begin to shape the rooms over which they hang by giving the ceiling contours. The space has two functional areas; a gallery space, and an open-air gathering space with amphitheatre. The walls running perpendicular to the gathering space are perforated to allow some noise through while the ceiling over the amphitheatre is open to allow live music to transmit to the highline above.

05 Fractals
building rendering - park
School: St. Clair College Year: 2013 Brief: Design a community art studio and gallery space in Chicago, Illinois. Remarks: The central concept for the design was the the menger sponge fractal. By using the menger sponge fractal as a basis for the functional layout of the building design all requirements can be met. Studio and gallery spaces retain as much natural light as possible, and gallery and circulation space work harmoniously together. Using a central public staircase and raised catwalks connecting studios directly, studio work areas have a degree of seperation from public gallery areas, while maintaining an open and connected feeling to the remainder of the building. Sightlights from all gallery, circulation, and studio spaces are formed arround the central stair case. building rendering - rear

Project: Rebuilding my front steps that had deteriorated over years of freeze-thaw cycles. I determined that the incorrect mortar was originally used when repaired in the past. Over-strengthed mortar beds caused deterioration of the weaker bricks, and sand backing allowed water to sit and freeze behind brick risers. Special care was given to researching correct mortar and bricks to use. Type N mortar with Lime & cement mix, and a latex binding agent with water reducer was chosen. Matching period bricks were found at a local salvage yard and re-purposed. Picture Legend: 1. Before picture. 2. Re-purposed ricks. 3. Type N mortar 4. Demolition & cleaning of surfaces. 5.
