the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;third placeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Extending the Physical Public Realm: The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Third Placeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; As a Charged Interstitial Space

MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE 7+(6,6 352-(&7 SUPERVISOR: DR. KENDRA SCHANK SMITH ADVISOR: MASHA ETKIND

Media Used: Revit Architecture, Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator

Project Was Published in 2012

The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Third Placeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is an informal public gathering space that provides for meaningful social experiences. It is vital to current societal needs, as it brings back traditional forms of social interaction that are missing in the virtual realm of communication technologies, the physical interaction. This thesis works with the interstitial space, the empty space, the cavity of architecture, as it aims to create a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;third placeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that becomes a continuous space of actions and events. To visually and physically connect the occupants of each area of the complex and to FUHDWH D FRQWLQXRXV Ë&#x160;RZ RI PRYHPHQW WKURXJK WKH site, the interstitial spaces will be designed as a succession of open, and physically connected spaces. 7KHVH DUH Ë&#x160;H[LEOH RSHQ HQGHG DQG PXOWLIXQFWLRQDO spaces, which provide for seasonal application. Each member of the community, whether it is a teen or an adult, will feel welcomed. They can appropriate these spaces for their own use, borrowing it for a certain period of time to carry out their desired programs and activities.

VILLAGE | SELF-SUSTAINING CLUSTER Acts as a complete organism. Has all of the required elements to sustain itself.

BUILDING AND A LANDSCAPE The building becomes an extensions of the outdoor public realm. It is an urban landscape where the interior spaces are joined with street, park, plaza to create a continuous social setting.

TECHNOLOGY AND INTERACTIVE INSTALLATIONS A zone that is infused by interactive technologies. A buffer, unifying link of the overall third place, a place where each individuals will come together, physically interact and be engrossed by new technologies.

Ryerson Student Learning Centre In Collaboration with Corina Ardeleanu Media Used: Revit Architecture, Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator

This project is a proposal for the Ryerson Student Learning Centre to be located on the corner of Yonge and Gould Streets. The building is a combination of public and private functions with buffer zone serving as a connector.

Gould Street Sectional Perspective

The essence of the project is shown by the Gould street facade with a visually dynamic approach to the envelope. A fragmentation of volumes is created by push and pull strategy of the massing. These are various study spaces on different levels which are connected together through multilevel winter gardens. This approach to the project aims to strengthen the relationship between interior spaces and their connection to the outside.

MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE 7+(6,6 352-(&7 SUPERVISOR: DR. KENDRA SCHANK SMITH

Material: Mat Board

This experimental model explores the concept of temporality â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an arrangement established with no thought of continuance but with the idea of change over time. The walls can be moved along the gaps to test and construct different spatial arrangements with varying light conditions. It is a process of creating new places.

GRADUATE INTENSIVE RESEARCH STUDIO AND SEMINAR 2011 CRITIC: ARTHUR WRIGGLESWORTH

In Collaboration with Corina Ardeleanu Media Used: Laser Cutter | Materials: Wood, Plexi Glass

This project combines the concepts of fragmentation, layering and memory that are injected in a new visualization of how focus and perception can be manipulated either through choice or observation. The aim of the designed artifacts is to achieve multiple FRQGLWLRQV Ë&#x160;H[LELOLW\ DQG FRPSOH[ UHVSRQVHV VWHPPLQJ from a single medium, while allowing the viewer to engage with and explore the ideas presented.

Fragmentation Separate plates; Irregular density and size; Changing patterns. Layering Repeated modules of the same image coming in and out of focus; Complexity is created by the superimposition of each added image. Memory Slots represent the memory of the moved object; Rigid city transforming into nostalgic landscapes (memory of what once was).

Digital Fabrication Team of Six Collaboration Media Used: Rhinoceros, Laser Cutter | Material: Mat Board

Project Is Exhibited at The University

This project was designed and produced by a collaborative effort in a team of six. The aim of the project outline was to digitally fabricate an installation that was to be displayed in the departments atrium. The object is in the shape of a vortex which is attached to the ground and ceiling, produced using surface panelization technique.

Proposal for CNE Grounds Media Used: Revit Architecture, Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator

Project Was Exhibited at the University Existing Conditions | Urban Fabric: Solid and Void

This is a proposal for the current exhibition place which will enhance and create a continual use for the CNE grounds without disrupting its current programmatic conditions. The master plan will move the exhibition place from isolation into a truly integrated component of the surrounding urban fabric, by bringing the northsouth street grids across the site in a subterranean manner hence reconnecting the city to the waterfront. The public functions will be enhanced with new program that begins on the level of the new roads and RIË&#x2030;FHV ZLOO EH LQWURGXFHG YLD DQ HFRQRPLFDO DSSURDFK for growth.

Kyrgystan Osh House of Ethnic Democracy Media Used: Revit Architecture, Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator

Project Was Exhibited for the University Accreditation Panel The aim of this thesis was to establish and provide an DUFKLWHFWXUDO VROXWLRQ WR D FRQË&#x160;LFW ZLWKLQ D FRXQWU\ RI choice located along the great silk trading road. The FKRVHQ FRQË&#x160;LFW ZDV WKH VWUXJJOH RI WKH *RYHUQPHQW of Kyrgyzstan to establish an ethnically diverse GHPRFUDWLF V\VWHP GXH WR FRQË&#x160;LFWV EHWZHHQ GLIIHUHQW ethnic groups and the government.

The program of the building is built to celebrate cultural, ethnic and linguistic diversity of the citizens of Osh and to encourage formal and informal meetings and gathering of people by providing spaces that allow for presentations, performances, displays and exhibitions. Osh House is a place where each and every individual is welcomed.

This architectural project will serve as a mechanism of social cohesion; providing environments where HFRQRPLF VRFLDO VFLHQWLË&#x2030;F WHFKQLFDO DQG FXOWXUDO programs can be carried out. Osh House serves as both a cultural centre and an addition to the Government facilities.

[ Program ]

There is a linear axis, a path that connects the Government Building to the Osh House cutting through it and continuing to form the axis for the park. To symbolize the government, the side facing the government building expresses a formal linearity with its facade, column design and landscaping elements. On opposite side this expression is changed, design is irregular and diffused symbolizing the people of Osh and their nature.

Master Plan of Proposal

DISCOURSE ARENA | Dual function: conferences and presentations by the government allowing the public to view in; performances and concerts by the public. 12 COLLECTIVE SPACES dedicated to 12 Ethnic Groups to exhibit their culture, history, artwork hence to encourage social gatherings among different ethnicities. CULTURAL PARK which provides year round outdoor activity and encourages occupants interaction with landscape and nature. Conference Rooms, Exhibition Arenas, Cultural Food Services.

Henry Moore Waterfront Gallery speaks to the process of making a work of art.
