An adventure through the landscape; a tiered experienced in which one approaches, navigates, and orients themselves in the romantic built form. This housing project demonstrates a Canadian cottage-like experience as it guides the user through a hierarchy of spaces, each referencing back to the landscape through the senses.

- Defining the Reference Surfaces:
02 The deign development process when something is created helps to provide a project with its characteristics. This short conceptual form project is an example of the developmental process being the primary focus of design. It is meant to diagram the way in which form is created while simultaneously learning new programmatic and parametric design skills. • Academic (Individual) • Contribution: Project Entirety • 4th Yr.

- Conceptual Section - Street Perspective
A renewal of space; connecting existing public transit with local shops and education rooms. This short, two week, conceptual project works with existing city elements, using greenery and built form to benefit the mindset of those using the space. Building upon the idea of separate public/ private community zones that are filled with smells and visual stimulation.

04b Centered at the heart of Toronto’s subway system, the Bay Street Station sits beneath this diverse park that was based on the geography of Canada. Lying beneath the Bay Subway Station is Lower Bay, a trial station used briefly before becoming abandoned. The intent of this project was to strategically introduce a community centre beneath the park, without interfering with its prior design. The centre utilizes the space surrounding the existing subway line while taking advantage of the old abandoned space below.

The placement of a prison within the natural picturesque is an ironic yet metaphorically fitting location for blurring the line between freedom and confinement. Freedom can be defined as the action of being able to move or to develop without restraint or confinements; the landscape, for example, is a place in which movement or development of one’s thoughts are endless - like that of the landscape itself. A prison - by definition - is a place of confinement for persons that have been convicted and thus have lost the feeling of being free; while the thoughts of those imprisoned may be focused on the idea of being set free. The concept of blurring the lines between freedom and confinement allows for this project to be adaptive within the constraints. It allows for the artistic sense of exploring the freedom within a separation from civilization. It allows for freedom of movement while periodically being restrained within certain moments of the landscape. Overall, this project recognizes that the natural picturesque harnesses the ability to be free while also ironically providing a dramatic location for a place of both seclusion and confinement.
