PERFORMING ARTS Location: Toronto, ON. Client: Integration Studio Year: 3rd Year | 2014 The Wellington School of Performing Arts promotes the integration of talent and cultural events through visual and programmatic means. The master plan of Toronto aims to utilize this corridor [Wellington Ave.] as an entertainment district with theaters spotted throughout. This has thus created a linear park, with spaces for relaxation, work and entertainment. The school presented, harnesses the city’s goal of social integration by drawing the park within and framing views to express the character and work of ambitious artists within. Functionally, the circulation within retains sight-lines to the theatre and street, as a symbol of dominance and inspiration for the young students.

PROVENANCE LANE
Old Toronto
Study Area
Location: Toronto, ON. Project: Competition | Collaborative Role: Building Science Lead Provenance Lane provides an alternative to urban sprawl, increasing density by taking advantage of an underutilized laneway in the city’s downtown. The home delivers energyefficiency, affordability, and durability to create highly liveable spaces that allow intensification without altering the existing scale of neighbourhoods. The design transforms Toronto’s laneways into more compelling, vibrant community spaces, creating a template for similar development in Toronto, and any North American city with underutilized laneways. Provenance Lane offers a more human scale as a livable, sustainable alternative, representing the origins of laneway development.

ynesthesia is an installation that explores the relationship between sound and architecture with the goal of turning the building into an instrument with the user acting as the musician. As an experiment in human scale, the architecture becomes the structure, neck, bridge, and resonator of an object held in place by tensioned piano wire - creating a musical progression which dissipates as it reverberates through the hollow atrium. The musician is thus given the opportunity to flood space with a chordal resonance as they ascend and descend the existing stair, while spun fibres manifest a dispersion of notes played. The musician and audiences’ sensory experience is extended beyond the auditory into the visual with lighting elements that are responsive to the pluck of a wire.
TORONTO OFFSITE DESIGN FESTIVAL
S
REVERBERATION CHAMBER The reverberation chamber was designed after careful study of acoustics and material properties to naturally amplify the sound of the piano wire without the need for digital sound amplifiers. The false bottom houses the ardruino and wiring components while the body houses the lighting components. Once a wire is plucked, vibration sensors in the ardruino initiate a visual response through the use of lights.

-ZONE
Location: Toronto, ON. Project: Collaborative | 4th Year Role: Project Lead | Coordinator Ø-Zone aims to reduce the buildings ecological footprint as a means of sustainable development for future urban construction. This energy ready home is designed to be user friendly, requiring little to no occupant management whilst providing all necessities. Integrated systems help to achieve this common goal, fostering renewable energy for on-site use. Ø-Zone achieves passive energy standards, at 115 kWh/sq.m, just under net zero site energy. This surplus in demand was offset by conscious design decisions, using environmentally friendly materials which are recycled or re-usable, resulting in an affordable eco-friendly home.

Toronto has preserved the old character of nineteenth century residential construction, Inherent in neighborhoods throughout the city, converting to mixed use and becoming historic gems in new construction. The already built world is now underutilized and is now a resource to be optimized and idealized. An energy assessment conducted reviewed the natural gas consumption and electricity of an existing Victorian home in Kensington. Beyond this, the homes preparedness for aging occupants was determined based on a rapidly increasing senior population in Toronto. Rainwater harvesting was also considered to reduce unnecessary demand. Through these basic principles, these resources become assets, and promote the healthy growth of city development.

The energy assessment determined optimal efficiency in electricity and gas when a ground source heat pump was introduced. Before this, components were assessed using energy modeling software (HOT 2000). From the increase in fenestration to the change of glazing units and e n e r g y e f f i c i e n t natural resource systems, the GSHP reduced the annual energy cost by 32%. In addition to this, a significant increase in insulation as specified, surpassing code requirements, making the building more air tight and retaining heat using EIFS panels. This modular system would reduce time to construct, thus lower costs.
