Hi there, My name is Joshua Estrella. I am an aspiring urban planner and graduate from the University of Toronto. I’ll go down as the next Georges-Eugène Haussmann, Jan Gehl, or Janette Sadik-Khan. Here is a small collection of work I’ve put together for you. Here are some fun facts about myself: ▪ I’ve gone camping with the King of Sweden ▪ I’m an avid player of City Skylines and Sid Meier’s Civilization V ▪ I once had a viral post on Tumblr made of poorly photoshopped cartoon characters Yours,

Imagining different transit situations based on the hypothetical completetion of dream projects is a common pastime among Torontonians. Among TTC riders and urban planners (both current and future) this is especially true. One such future promoted by Metrolinx, the transit planner for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, is the Big Move. I created this map to reflect the what a realized Big Move would look like. With some personal modifications, urban geographies and original route alignments were maintained. Each transit line whether using bus rapid transit, light rail, or conventional subways was given a unique single alphanumeric character identifier: A for Airport, 1 for TTC Line 1, H for Hurontario, etc. GO Train commuter lines maintain their colours and interchanges with more than three connecting services have information boxes.

02 CLASSIFIED MOUNTAIN FACILITY

TYPE: LOCATION:

IMAGINED RENDERING CANADIAN ROCKIES

COURSE: REPRESENTATION II DATE: FALL 2016 INSTRUCTOR: FIONA LIM TUNG

In this project, I took a base image, one of the Meiso no Mori Municipal Funeral Hall in Japan, and sought to transform its setting and atmosphere even to imply a new program through these transformations. I began by freezing the body of water and replacing the background with mountains. Snow was added and I toned the building to match. I added Elsa, Anna and Olaf from Frozen as a playful gesture to what the scene that I created. In a further iteration, I removed all but the more forward mountains and replaced the sky with the northern lights. Adjusting the lighting of the image was my favourite part especially of the aurora borealis against the mountains and the building lights against the pond.

03 COMMUTER SQUARE

TYPE: LOCATION:

CIVIC SPACE - MODEL + RENDERING ABSOLUTELY ANYWHERE

COURSE: REPRESENTATION II DATE: FALL 2016 INSTRUCTOR: FIONA LIM TUNG

How often do we stop and think about the public spaces we use? How often do we truly make use of these spaces as individuals? We remark at well known squares like Times Square, Trafalgar Square, and even squares in Toronto like Nathan Philips and Yonge Dundas Square. But what about the less known, the ones people pass through only for the sake of passing through them. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve created such a square. Non-descript in the most general and generic of ways it sohuldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have a name. A tram/streetcar line courses in front of it but this could lend itself to being anywhere: Toronto, Philidealphia, Portland, Melbourne, or any number European towns and cities. Equally non-descript buildings constructed in styles implemented worldwide provide no aide to anyone trying to locate this square. It is a generic square people may gather but such is rare.

04 BUNKHOUSE BEDSHARE

TYPE: LOCATION:

CASE STUDY + MODIFICATION PROPOSAL CARMEL PLACE, NEW YORK, NY, USA

COURSE: DESIGN III-A [GROUP PROJECT WITH SOHA SADEGI] DATE: WINTER 2017 INSTRUCTOR: JULIAN OCAMPO

Can you take an existing building and take it to its most extreme? In a building where the goal is to create small living spaces, like in Carmel Place formerly known as My Micro NY, can this idea of small living be pushed? We did just that. We spent some time trying to understand the building and the philosophy of Carmel Place. Looking at its modularity and compactly spaced utilities (water, circulation, etc.) we pushed for a bunk house/capsule hotel/ barracks style modification of the space. A typical unit in Carmel Place houses one or two people whereas with our extreme modifications such a unit would house seven individuals. Space is almost exclusively given to sleeping or washroom facilities with little regard for privacy as the seven indivuals sharing a room only have thin fabric screens to seperate them.

TOY ANALYSIS + EXPERIMENTATION MARS

COURSE: REPRSENTATION I DATE: FALL 2015 INSTRUCTOR: JONATAHAN ENNS

Toys arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always thought of as architectural, Lego being a frequent exception, but toys that require assembly often need instructions and how the toy and its parts are represented present a playful opportunity to teach and learn conventions regarding drawing and drafting. Take the toy Snap Circuit; aiming to teach children about electronics and basic electrical concepts a variety of assemblages are possible to achieve different results with lights, motors, and sounds. The accompanying manual however lays out these assemblages only in plan ignoring the three dimensional and stackable qualities of their toy. Completely igonoring the electrical aspect, what can be created and imagined with the parts of Snap Circuit toys?

grey spaces: vaughan mills Vaughan Mills is known as one of the largest shopping malls in Canada, spanning nearly 1.3 million square feet of retail space alone.

Queenie Dang, Joshua Estrella & Jessica Frasca

minor intervnetion:

Installation of bird decals along the windows of the stores to prevent birds from crashing into the glass. Installation of a green wall inside the mall.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s massive size is surrounded by an equally, if not larger, parking lot. The excessive amount of grey infrastructure thus poses an environmental and ecological problem for the surrounding wildlife such as birds and insects as the mall provides little to no shelter for these organisms, poses a threat to their safety during flight, and further stimulates the Urban Heat Island effect.

moderate intervention:

Reorganization of the parking lot by connecting the small green patches at the end of each parking strip together to form a green border. Encourages birds and insects to fly around the parking lot, using the green border as a means of circulating around instead of attempting to fly through the mall windows.

major intervention:

Introduction of a green roof, planted with local sedum, flowers, and shrubs, across the entire roof top. Because the mall is only one storey, the structure is low enough to the ground so that birds and insects can reach the green roof without a problem. The green roof will act as a bridge, connecting the adjacent green areas surrounding Vaughan Mills together.

Thus, we have proposed three interventions that may help stimulate the co-existance of consumers and wildlife, without interfering with the health and well-being of either party.

Key species being introduced: We will introduce several tree species with the following objectives: creating habitat for common bird species, providing shade for large properties, or ability to remove local pollution. Plant species selected provide good water absorption characterisitics.
