THE PERSPECTIVE Rhino 5 + Vray + Photoshop + Illustrator
Located on Church and McGill street, the Perspective provides homeless youth a chance to rebuild themselves and gain a new outlook on life. Focusing on positive mental growth and becoming confident individuals in the workforce, the Perspective is programmed to cater to these needs. A seemingly ambigious building from the street, the facade mitigates the public’s gaze into the building, but internally does the opposite. Through the open courtyard visible from all levels, the amenity spaces are seen from all view points, creating a visual connection of all the support spaces that are provided. The building aims to created a private haven safe from the public’s gaze, where adolescents feel safe and comfortable to come back to. By creating spaces that allow casual interaction within a relaxed environment, coupled by programs that help them transition back to society, the building aims to become the heart and home of those who feel lost.

VIEWS Rhino 5 + Vray + Photoshop + Illustrator
Located in the Evergreen Brickwords, Views is a private research cabin used by biologists. Surrounded by the dense nature of the rejuvinated clay mine, the environment hosts many wildlife and plant species, that is important for research. The cabin aims to provide a temporary living and work space where it is used throughout the whole year. The main working space is completely open to the public view, but privacy is achieved through louvers that mitigate the sun and peering eyes.

Located on Spadina Avenue and Clarence Square, the Toronto Centre for Architecture has a vision that is onward and upwards for the future of its beloved city. The centre believes that in order for architecture to become forward thinking, we must look at the present and history of our buildings, and reflect on these for the future. In order for the public to become knowledgable of their city, the building is programmed for visitors to come face to face with the industry itself. Introducing different aspects of the design process throughout the building and implementing open atriums, the visitors are visually connected to how the building functions. The centre aims to create a space where great minds can think together, and where great people can think for the future.

STEPS Rhino 5 + Vray + Photoshop + Illustrator
The Steps Workshop aims to create an integrated workplace combining craft and design together with modern technology. It intends to outline the evolution of human interaction on site, with a large emphasis of maker spaces transitioning into studios. The maker spaces to the studios are bridged by public programs to create a cross interaction of students working in the building, and to the public. Located in the Lower Junction, the site has a rich industrial history shaping the neighbourhood and its residents today. This informs the building as the transition of maker spaces into the studios highlights the physical transition of the site itself. The maker spaces represent its industrial past and the agrarian type work (working with your hands) that dominated the area, into the studios where the students are in constant collaboration and in conversation. The community transitioned from interacting with just industrial machinery, to a human to human interaction fostering an urban environment.

DESTINATIONS Rhino 5 + AutoCAD + Illustrator + InDesign
A series of technical details exploring different materials for the envelope of the building. The details compare light versus heavy elements, and how it affects the design, structure, and elevations of the project. The main expression of the design are the large floating boxes determined as the focal “destinations� in the program. The integrity of form, in particular a cube, is emphasized where continuity and seamlessness in connections are desired. The model showcases the early stages of design development where materials of the envelope are not showcased, but is exploring the spatial quality of the interiors.

TORONTO INTERIOR DESIGN SHOW 2018 Design Workshop Architects
The “How Bright is Our Future” installation envisioned by DWA uses new technologies that conceptualize the future of human society. The installation invites visitors into a dark space where five glowing blades read various statements that either spark ‘hope’ or ‘fear’ for our future. The visitors are welcome to interact with the blades inputting their response to the various statements, where the answers are projected onto a screen. A team of Ryerson students fabricated and erected the installation at PCL Construction prior to the showcase. The Ryerson team worked collaboratively with the firm and other students to successfully construct the installation on time, while learning various woodworking skills. 36
