about me Michael Fik is an architectural student living in Mississauga, ON. He completed an Architectural Technology Diploma with High Honours at Sheridan College in the summer of 2011 and two weeks later commenced his Bachelor of Architectural Science at Ryerson University in Toronto. Six years after entering into the field of architecture, Michael has gained a thorough understanding of building science and detailing principles. Using both digital and manual production techniques, he has also developed strong drafting, graphic representation and model making capabilities. His technical skills were further polished at his dual co-op tenures at Brian Luey Architect, as well as summer positions at K Paul Architect and Thermaco Engineering. The architectural concepts that most interest Michael include sustainable technologies, innovation in the building envelope, digital fabrication, mass customization, and urban re-development. Given a successful completion of a 16 month co-op period, Michael is anticipating to complete his Bachelor of Architectural Science in April of 2016. He is exploring the possibilities of completing either a Masters of Architecture or Master of Building Science in either Canada or Europe. Following his two trips to Europe Michael has made it his life-long goal to travel and experience the different cities, people, cultures, and beauty of the world, as often as possible. He also has a growing library of DETAIL magazine, as well as architectural reference texts and theorem. Michael enjoys listening to several genres of music, going to live performances and will rarely pass the opportunity to see an artist live. He is also an avid ice hockey fan, watches 99% of Toronto Maple Leafs games and occasionally attends live games. When it comes to Michael’s past times, rather than simply seeing or hearing something, he would much rather experience it.

PHYSICAL MODEL
RIBS - Roof Integrated Building Systems Š Roof-Integrated Building Systems (RIBS) is an innovative new roof panel system, designed for small to mid-scale structures that have a desired flat roof or vaulted ceiling aesthetic. The RIBS roof panel separates itself from existing market roof panel products because it is capable of concealing building systems. The panel is primarily composed of wood products. The RIBS roof panel utilizes standard, readily available wood materials as well as wood products created by a new process, Ribbed Fibreboard Pressing Process
(RFPP), THAT creates a ribbed profile in the sheet by uniformly pouring the fibre mix onto a conveyor belt and pushing the oversized lump through a pre-press fence to the desired profile. The Roof-Integrated Building Systems allows for an exceptionally fast on-site installation of the roof, ceiling and related systems, WHICH translates to immense cost-savings on labour.

The ryerson department of architectural science building is in need of a entrance revitalization. the proposed canopy and threshold acts as a segue into the architectural display gallery in the lobby. the exterior canopies are derived geometrically from the golden ratio and progressively elevate - as a tribute to higher education. the gently convoluted interior threshold creates a new focal point in the building’s atrium and acts as a solar shade while emitting design inspiration to the students.

WoodWave roof panel the physical model and exploded perspective drawing are reproductions of cannon design’s WoodWave panel. the panel was an entirely new product with significant technological advancements, structurally and acoustically. Each WoodWave panel contains three triangular sections that are predominantly constructed of dimensional 2x4s (38 x 89 mm) and plywood of pine beetle wood which was falsely regarded as a structurally inferior wood. By curving the 2x4s, the wood is acting in compression, where wood is strongest. this translated to a significant structural span, as wells as immense economical benefits during the construction of the richmond olympic oval. The gaps in the 2x4 strands are acoustically absorptive while further reducing the amount of material used. The WoodWave Panel as a roofing solution solved the structural, acoustic, and economical problems at the same time, while giving the roof an attractive articulation. 1 STEEL SHOE – 10X75X135mm STEEL L-ANGLE WITH A 10X100X114mm STEEL PLATE WELDED AT THE BOTTOM, WITH BOLTED CONNECTIONS. 2 5/8 IN.

EXTERIOR PERSPECTIVE
the issue of underutilized spaces on ryerson campus became apparent victoria street lane is considered unsafe and unfavoured by so many faculty and students alike. This lane way proposal brings forth new access points between several main corridors on school grounds. A new thoroughfare for pedestrian traffic has been created to assure a sustainable and exciting growth for Ryerson. This new corridor aids in linking several university services and buildings through to a central node of the campus located along Victoria Street and Gould St. This development is the first phase of a larger development to enhance other viable lane ways on the Ryerson campus. In the first phase, Dundas Street is connected to Gould Street as well as Victoria Street to Bond Street. This is achieved through a consistent dark paver and a light canopy that flows into the network of lane ways. The design essentially establishes an inviting language which can be applied to the future phases of the lane way revitalizations and can be easily recognized as a circulation network throughout campus. Vegetation is integrated with the design on several planes: shrubbery and grasses populate the ground plane as pocket gardens intertwine with the permeable pavers at grade. Green walls are superimposed onto the existing brick walls facing into Victoria Street Lane. Finally, a series of latticed canopies provide shading over the link as more vegetation is integrated with the lattice. The result is an unabridged thoroughfare connecting the campus with its surroundings

civic intermission Civility in design means requires the resolution of what is being offered, to whom it is being offered, and in which manner it is offered. This design proposal considers civility as the antithesis to the barbaric condition of human existence. ln this sense we seek to refine and make easier the condition of urban life as the city represents the pinnacle of human achievement and civility. The integration of services to inclusively serve multiple demographics acts to increase the individual’s right to the city. Through the introduction of a pavilion and integrated park the proposed intervention serves as a place of refuge, place of service and place of communication. The physical articulation consists of modular elements that can be adjusted to serve specific demographic groups at varying sites throughout the city. In the case of Bedford & Bloor the intervention serves tourists, students, commuters, professionals and the disenfranchised. Each group has access to facilities to ease daily tasks including bike repair, bike storage, shower s, washroom facilities, change rooms, eating lounges, charging lounges and interactive information displays. The translucent interactive display panel which makes up the facade of the pavilion serves to provide relevant real time data to users of the site and passersby including date, time, weather, walking distance to important sites, transit times, and site energy consumption levels. Architectural civility means more than just fitting in. It requires an appropriate relationship between what a design contains and what it looks like. The translucent character of the intervention reveals a language that seeks to encourage publicly-oriented cultural values without calling attention to its self. In serving as a hub of services for the most immediate demographic groups our intervention ensures inclusive civility in form, content, intent and meaning.
cardboard tower project
the design challenge was to construct a 2 1/2 storey tower. only recyclable and reusable materials were permitted. the use of adhesives and gravity-defying devices were prohibited. the tower had to be collapsable into a 1m x 1m x 1m box and had to be erected in less than 5 minutes. finally the tower had to have architectural merit. the team’s tower consisted of a series of rotating triangular modules that slotted into one another.
