Access Interconnectivity REINCARNATION OF TORONTO PATH SYSTEM THROUGH POINT CLOUD GENERATION PROCESSES
01
PROJECT TYPE Tourist Hub - Individual U OF T, MARCH. THESIS Professor Laura Miller DATE 1st Semester of 2018 – 4 Months LOCATION Toronto, Canada This thesis leverages three extant infrastructures within downtown Toronto, to create a new Tourist Hub: the city’s underground pedestrian system, the PATH (itself an attraction to tourists); a long and short-haul bus terminal connecting with local and regional destinations; and downtown Toronto and Ontario-based tourist attractions, events, and itineraries (such as the CN Tower, Nuit Blanche, Niagara wine-tasting). Central to each infrastructure is a presumption of access; the Tourist Hub as a hybrid building type brings inter-connectivity and access between them. A new collection of uses – hotel, offices, performance spaces – creates a site of activity, exchange, services, shelter, and entertainment.

confluence point CULTURE + COMMUNITY IN LIVE WORK DISTRICT
08
PROJECT TYPE Urban Design - Group work COMPETITION Urban Land Institute DATE January 2018 – 20 Days LOCATION Toronto, Canada Confluence Point is located at the nexus of three planned high-order transit projects (SmartTrack, Downtown Relief Line - DTRL, and Broadview LRT) with views to the lake and city skyline. Confluence Point is inspired by its location and extends by linking adjacent neighborhoods, connecting to Corktown Common through a new pedestrian bridge, and creating a new road connection by extending East Don Roadway south to the site. Apart from connecting developments to existing communities, Confluence Point aims to improve the quality of life for both local residents and commuters. Offering higher proportion of two- and threebedroom units than typical in the market, Confluence Point targets professionals and younger families who are looking to set down roots with potential to “move-up” into larger units. These residences will be set within a network of pedestrian-ized mews connections, courtyards and plazas, activated by at-grade retail and cultural/entertainment offerings. The marquee building will be the signature -60 storey Grand Assembly Tower, located above the planned Broadview subway stop on the DTRL, and connected to the SmartTrack via a weather-protected retail concourse (“PATH” system). The commercial component of the tower will target Toronto’s burgeoning tech sector with flexible coworking/shared office facilities and thus differentiate it from the East Harbour development. Like the city in its backdrop, Confluence Point is built to be dynamic and welcoming; a vibrant hub, and an intimate home. + TEAM: LYDON WHITTLE, CARLOS PORTILLO, NICK CALLIES

PROJECT TYPE Residential Complex - Individual IAUCTB, MARCH. THESIS Professor Ali Saremi DATE 1st and 2nd Semester of 2011-2012 – 7 Months LOCATION Tehran, Iran This thesis is an effort to revitalize the neighborhood concept through a new residential complex. With an abundance of high rise buildings, more and more people are deprived of private and public open spaces and landscapes. This project investigates the possibility of creating a middle density residential project through the use of the landscape. Thresholds on various scales, and usable open spaces with private, semi-private and public functions are defined by relating the concept of landscape with cluster designing. Many of these spaces have been supported with a variety of services and facilities including shopping, resting areas and restaurants. This type of designing is introduced as Cluster Landscape. The project is located in one of the green corridors of Tehran, adding high environmental value for the residents. Separation of vehicles and pedestrians provide a tranquil and safe central space defined as a «No Car Zone». Complex arrangement is devised with respect to the existing adjacent urban fabric, natural light and ventilation. The unique mixture of suites in each building is based on anthropological studies of the area. In addition, main windows and openings are shaped to enhance the place attachment emotion to the space; light, view and privacy are controlled by fixed and movable levers in the project.

lakme opera stage CELLULAR AUTOMATAIZED ABSTRACTED TREES
06
PROJECT TYPE Scenography - Group work U OF T, ADVANCE COMPUTER Professor Ultan Byrne DATE November 2016 - 45 Days LOCATION Toronto, Canada
This project is stage design for the opera of Lakmé by Léo Delibes, in which the first act takes place in a temple, deep in the forest. In the jungle, Lakmé and her servant pick up flowers and enjoy the nature. The design process consists of three different steps. First, overlaying the abstracted black and white photos of jungle to create a dense landscape. These images were then taken into the cellular automata algorithm. This code is used to extrude forms from given images by identifying color of a pixel and its neighbors (either black or white) and extrudes the white cell. The final step was to create an object of the final form. Using the code of marching cubes and the outputs form each cellular automata, the combination of voxelized layers offer a variety of perspectives to the spectators and play with the shadows of the extruded forms as well as the shadows of the scene, bringing more depth to the stage. + TEAM: CASSANDRE FIRMIN, AIDAN LOWETH

PROJECT TYPE Museum - Group work U OF T, COMPREHENSIVE STUDIO Professor Vivian Lee DATE 2nd Semester of 2017 – 2 Months LOCATION Toronto, Canada Through sharing its contents with the public realm, we believe that Museums will repeal the historically classism ideals in favor of a new paradigm that converges with the public while still maintaining an undefined position. Our museum design strategy was to first preserve the existing heritage facade north of the site. This preservation was important since the facades embodied the rich historic qualities of Wellington street. Recognizing that this could not be recreated, we sought to savor and express these qualities by contrasting its rich history to that of both the present context and the proposed intervention. Setbacks from the existing façade were created to establish vantage point for viewing the celebrated facades. Recognizing that the proposed rail deck would attract activity from the north, a public pedestrian corridor was created, linking Wellington street to Front Street. Our design philosophy towards museums was implemented by establishing an outdoor exhibition space sandwiched between the old building and the new building’s footprint. this space as a central node a public pedestrian bridge passes through the building from the Rail Deck and injects pedestrians directly into the Outdoor exhibition space through a series of ramps. Along this internal public channel, theatre, restaurant, and museum gallery spaces are positioned to evoke interest and ultimately a desire to deviate from the path by entering the programed spaces. + TEAM: LYDON WHITTLE

PROJECT TYPE Shelter - Group work COMPETITION Iceland Trekking Cabin DATE August 2016 – 14 Days LOCATION Iceland
SKYPRINT is designed to uphold the expression “leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but pictures, kill nothing but time”. This is achieved through programming vertically to reduce overall footprint, locating windows to frame images of the landscape and by raising the building to create the perception of seamless floatation. The design of this cabin stands proud and will serve as both a beacon and a shelter for hikers. SKYPRINT pays respect to its surrounding landscape through the use of natural materiality and invisible connection with the ground via digitally produced floor . This vertical shelter develops an identity of its own by challenging the traditional horizontal shelters. SKYPRINT stands as a proud checkpoint destination for hikers. + TEAM: HUSSAIN PATWARY, JASON MARSHALL

PROJECT TYPE Research Facility - Individual U OF T, SELF-DRIVING STUDIO Prof. Brady Peters, Ultan Byrne DATE 1st Semester of 2017 – 4 Months LOCATION Toronto, Canada The project documents are produced by non-linear parametric process to create a “Design Space” with multiple options. Then, one of the options was picked based on various factors and developed further to produce the secondary and tertiary level “Design Space”. This process covers the area of design from general massing, connections, form, programing, structure, solar control, view and underground connection through the use of various algorithm in the parametric design process. Three major parts of this design process is presented in the following pages. The first stage is mostly gear towards the general massing and the location, number and position of the bridges between the office and research lab towers. The Second Stage is programing and articulation of the exterior shell. The last stage leave the façade more simple and expose and tries to optimize the area of all balconies by genetic solver.

This proposal established on the only government-owned property in the city. It maximises the urban activity in the street level while democratizing the urban views formerly belong to the private properties. The raised public plaza separates the social activities from the street level and elevates the status of public gatherings above the vehicular level while providing comforting shadows and acoustic shelter for the public. Tis elevated platform merges the major street intersection by active stair solutions. Residential component at the top above the canopy, office and retail is at the elevated plaza level and multi-functional exhibition hall in sunken under the ground to create a diverse range of programmatic interaction thought-out the day. The porous nature of the complex allows for light, vegetation and people to interact with multiple layers within the building. This disentanglement of geometry is combined in a uniform structure to create and iconic vision for Talca social justice. + TEAM: LUIS QUISADA, NICOLAS MAYAUX, LAURA ULLOA, BRANDON BERGEM, JEFFREY GARCIA, SEBASTIE BERGARD, NIKO DELLIC

PROJECT TYPE Bus Maintenance Facility - Group Work STRASMAN ARCHITECTS Toronto Transit Commission DATE August 2016 – 4 Months LOCATION Toronto, Canada
With the Toronto Transit Commission’s (TTC’s) commitment to improving transit service and a growing ridership demand, it was determined that a new bus garage facility was needed in north Scarborough. The new McNicoll Bus Garage is expected to not only alleviate capacity issues and provide relief for overloaded existing bus garages but also lead to operational efficiencies and by extension, improved customer experience. The McNicoll Bus Garage maintains and stores 250 vehicles (forty-foot equivalents) and will be equipped to support the new articulated buses. The McNicoll Bus Garage has been designed to incorporate the AODA requirements for accessibility, exceed the Toronto Green Standards and support current and future levels of bus service for the TTC. The green roof pattern is a super imposition of the articulated buses’ service path in the facility.
