AUTODESK ARTS CENTER The intersection of College and Spadina is a space that has strong cultural exchange from the congested markets of small Chinese shops to the camouflaged, yet busy, interchange of people from the upper residences to the urban fabric below. Although a sort of distinct culture manifests itself in those streets, there is no strong architectural language that acts as a catalyst for the continual formation of that particular urban fabric. The multi-functional complex is an opportunity to express a strong architectural language, which can provide an environment where different social and cultural groups can be celebrated while establishing the many different programs within the building.

Certain types of program are accesible to public such as office spaces. CLOSED OFF TO OFFICE LEVELS However residential program remain pricate. It is the organization of vertical stacking that allows for such distinct multifunctional program to co-exist in a co-operative way. Facades are also treated with differing translucency according to private and public spaces.

GALT CITY CENTER The Galt downtown area, specifically the site, is an area which requires more commercial stimulation. To create an urban space dunes are used as precedence, however it is not the wind that carves the form rather the movement of people. The face of the site’s core commercial buildings dictate the push and pull of peoples forces creating interstitial spaces that are, by intuition, spaces carved by one’s own movement. This hotel in turn should revitilize the entire area by bringing more people in.

FILTER CITY is a conceptual proposition to create a suburban city by using principals of filtration. The project deals with the filtration of agriculture. One of the primary problems with farming is the saturation of nutrient, or nutrient-pollution. To combat this the fields are covered in algae farms which use excess nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in the soil to cultivate algae. These are processed in bio-filters creating bio-fuel which powers the city. The model of industrial manufacturing is re-used in the forming of filter city, which relies both on renewable energy and material economies.

RESEARCH ON THE OTTAWA GREENBLET This is a cross-section of the Ottawa greenbelt which shows the amount of program that is situated in that area and its effect on city growth. What happens is that bedroom colonies are formed. There are solutions to this, either to use alternative transportation methods other than cars or place services and facilities closer to the suburb. This is where energy and material economies come in.

Suspension house in FILTERCITY The tupical suburb house can be redefined as a house in the Filtercity. An example of house typology can use ideas of space dynamics and create acts of suspension.
