Hey there!
My name is Michael Salib
I am currently a second year student at the University of Waterloo School of Architecture.
My design approach is holistic, detailoriented and people-centered. I am inspired by architecture’s power in the modern world. Buildings are not solely used to contain occupants, but they also tell stories of history, human nature and culture. As an architect in the making and artist, I aspire to get out of my comfort zone to create work that prioritizes human connection and the health of both people and the Earth. Apart from architecture, I enjoy travelling, hiking, cooking, taking photos, creating art, and spending time with loved ones. In viewing this portfolio of some of my most recent works, I hope you can see my passion, willingness to learn, and drive. Enjoy!

Reference for Michael Salib
To Whom It May Concern: I had the pleasure of working with Michael while he was an intern in my office in early 2022. Michael was a key support in a number-of my projects and played a critically important role in the generation of key project documents and presentation materials. In the few months we worked together, I came to rely on Michael for his graphic sensibility, inquisitive approach to the work (he asks many GOOD questions), and ability to work in the pressure cooker of pre-submission / pre-presentation time frames. Michael’s project involvement included: 1. Beaver Valley Ski Club • Played an integral role in the production of townhall presentation materials for a ski resort renovation and addition. • Led a key axonometric view, showcasing design goals and intentions. 2. 16 Eastern Ave. Zoning/Gilead St • Worked on a quick and intense one-week study showing clients the potential of the site. • The vision was a “mini distillery district” that would generate revenue for 15-20 years before a full mixed-use buildout. • Particularly focused on creating diagrams that clearly communicate to the client the intent of the project. 3. 1630-1632 Bloor Street West • Created massing models and many presentation decks for client and city staff meetings. • Was a key team player in the planning rationale report 4. 309 Cherry Street • Prepared renders and marketing packages for investors He did very, very well with us and demonstrated many of the core strengths that will allow him to be successful moving forward. We (SvN), and I personally, don’t say this about all the interns who work within our practice, but we would happily welcome Michael back if the opportunity presents itself. Thank you,

Re:
Reference for Michael Salib
To Whom it May Concern, It is my pleasure to write a letter supporting Michael Salib’s application. I am the Director of the Human Experience Lab at Perkins&Will, a global architecture and design firm. I have training from Columbia and Harvard University and have taught and mentored hundreds of students over the last decade. Michael’s enthusiasm, informed questions, and fearless engagement will be an asset to any team. I have known Michael since Spring 2021, when I guest lectured for the University of Waterloo on the connection between public health and architecture. While most students kept their video off during the virtual class, Michael was a visibly attentive listener and asked thoughtful, energized questions – a real gift for a guest lecturer. When Michael reached out to volunteer as a research assistant for a U.S.-based study on healthy, affordable housing funded by the American Society of Interior Design Foundation, I was delighted to have him join the team. Over the summer, Michael showed that he was both a team player and independent worker. He and another classmate from the University of Waterloo spearheaded a case study in Chicago, Illinois. They researched the neighborhood and building context, participated in virtual focus groups with residents, provided questions for meetings with building management, and contributed to the overall structure of the final report, which will be released later this fall. Michael is an increasingly strong communicator and contributed to weekly team meetings with useful clarifying questions about team direction and approach. I am impressed by Michael’s initiative and commitment to healthy buildings. Although early in his training, his curiosity, rigor, and diligence will make him a formidable designer who will leave the world a better place. I support Michael Salib’s application without reservation and would be happy to answer any questions about his qualifications.
Sincerely,

How can a building benefit the lives of its occupants?
Mosaic The Mosaic Library and Community Hub lies at the intersection of three Torontonian neighbourhoods, longing to be a dwelling for all of the residents. By directly addressing different people and their needs and creating a welcoming space through program, circulation, materiality and light, the Mosaic library encourages the intermingling of Toronto’s diverse peoples, emphasizing the celebration of culture and the fostering of community. Specifically, the Mosaic Library and Community Hub includes a library program mixed with a community kitchen, garden and food bank, aiding with issues of food (in)security. A central staircase symbolic of the intersection of the neighbourhoods and clad in mosaic tiles grounds the building and offers moments of socialization and rest. After all, Canada is given the name “Multicultural Mosaic” for a reason.

Facade The acorn is a very special symbol for the inhabitants of Toronto, showing up in Joel Weeks Park and sculpted on Toronto’s old street signs. Because acorns grow on mature oak trees, they are a symbol of resilience and growth. They are also a symbol of Indigenous culture, since Oak trees are native to Toronto, originally the Carolinian forest. The Mosaic library’s envelope consists of a curtain wall inspired by the acorn shape and uses different materials to address dichotomies such as light vs. dark and public vs. private.

How can a residence be designed to sustain itself and give back to the Earth?
Re-light Re-light is an adaptive reuse of the inactive Fort Niagara Light, an old and inactive lighthouse steps away from the historic site of Old Fort Niagara in Niagara Falls, NY, originally built in1726 as a military base for American soldiers during the world wars. The small residential property is an off-grid research station for two researchers hired by the city to study the military and maritime history of the site and its future. Re-light creates a clear balance between preserving as much of the existing lighthouse while adding an extension that directly responds to the site on material, formal and programmatic scales. For example, the facade draws inspiration from the historic fort. By reusing an existing structure, Re-light drastically reduces its embodied energy. Coupled with passive design, renewable energy sources and resilient strategies to combat regionspecific climate threats, Re-light prioritizes sustainable design , critical to mitigating the negative impacts of the construction industry on the Earth.

How can the high-rise residential typology be re-imagined to foster community and house more people?
1+3 Sociologist Ray Oldenburg describes the first place as the home, the second place as the workplace and the third place as public gathering space. With McMaster, Waterloo and Conestoga campuses, and several corporate offices on the rise, downtown Kitchener has become a hub of students and young professionals searching for housing that promotes community and a good quality of life. The brief assigned each student two half floors of 53 Water St. North, a post-war tower in the heart of the city, to adaptively reuse the building and increase its capacity from 15-22 residents. 1+3 blurs the line between the first and third place by bringing the third place as close as possible to the home. As digitization and individualization increase in our society, we musn’t forget that people thrive in community. Through programmatic distribution, light quality, materiality and more, 1+3 plays a critical part in a movement that encourages co-living, a place where residents can meet constantly, share ideas, and grow creatively.

How can I apply my knowledge to create real tangible change in my community?
New Credit Tiny Home
The New Credit Tiny Home is an ongoing project in the school, part of the Design Build program. When completed, the house will be a home for a member of the Indigenous community in the Waterloo Region. While the main framing and design of the house was completed in past terms, our group designed the electrical, plumbing and interior finishes. The project requires careful collaboration with the entire project team and consideration of other elements such as exterior building envelope and interior mill work and detailing. Applying my knowledge to a real constructible project, while being part of change, has been extremely rewarding. I have learned an incredible amount in such a short amount of time and I can’t wait to see what else this project brings. Note: all drawings are in progress and materials/details have not been finalized.

How can a coffee shop play a larger role in its social and urban context?
Middle Ground Bali has quickly become Indonesia’s most popular tourist destination. However, while tourists come to appreciate the unique sites and culture, they ignorantly destroy them in the process. Middle Ground is the first step in solving Bali’s mass tourism crisis. The solution is not to eliminate tourists, but to attract them in a new way that places them in the middle of a movement that cares just as much, if not more, about Bali’s cultural and environmental preservation than about its economic growth. For too long, the experience of the tourists has been prioritized at the expense of the island’s environment, culture, and people. Thus, a middle ground is proposed, a space that benefits both the tourists and the locals. In this context, the action of getting a coffee is the medium through which the local-tourist relationship is mended interpersonally, through conversation, culturally, through performance and storytelling, and environmentally, through sustainable construction and biophilia.

How can a steel canopy fight the erasure of a city’s culture?
Framework
With an increasing population of various diasporas and nearly 80% of inhabitants identifying as visible minorities, Markham is quickly becoming a hub of rising immigrants and entrepreneurs. This has instigated rapid urbanization within the city, particularly in the downtown area. However, while current development ambitiously addresses sustainable and economic growth, it neglects Markham’s rich cultural history. Framework is a market located in downtown Markham, aiming to highlight the immense role that culture plays within the city. Drawing inspiration from the scale and atmosphere of various traditional street markets, it is a place where Markham residents can showcase their small businesses, gather, and keep culture at the epicenter of the city. A system of steel modules containing multiple voids provides a framework for the display of several metal screens and textural fabrics. This creates a mosaic that is reflective of the city’s existing and growing cultural and urban identity.

Materiality & Details Due to the scale of the site, it was decided for Framework to use a modular approach to design. A single structure of galvanized steel with different patterns of galvanized metal screens and a combination of PVC mesh fabric, outdoor fabric and fabric handwoven by members in the community is repeated at different scales throughout the structure. While the front is large and open, as one moves towards the stage, the space becomes more intimate. Much care was taken into account to ensure all modules are constructed carefully and deliberately, as described below.
