Leaside Business Park Leaside Business Park has been an active industrial area since the early part of the twentieth century. It is located near the Don Valley Parkway, Highway 401 and the Canadian National Railway. The majority of Leaside’s industries belong to the service, retail and manufacturing sectors. It can be predicted that in the near future Leaside Business Park’s growth will move from a heavy manufacturing and production base to service and big box retail industries. As a solution to this uneven growth, this project proposes strategies in order to enhance and promote Leaside’s new direction and to prevent a mono-cultural spread of one business type over another by creating various typologies. By creating four discrete landscapes, this project aims to change how the architecture of each zone will be conceived by situating it in a certain type of landscape.

The Wetlands: St. Bernard Parish
Hectares of Wetlands within 100km of Coast
St. Bernard Parish is located just south of the City of New Orleans. It consists of mostly rural areas that sit precariously between the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico. Many know of the flooding issues associated with the area. This project analyses the existing conditions of St. Bernard’s wildlife and habitat as well as the effect of water’s salinity on freshwater marshes and the surrounding wetlands that are crucial for the survival of this area against future flooding.

Re-visioning Ontario Place Created for the Fall 2012 Urban Design Studio “Design of the Public Sphere — The Case for Ontario Place,” this proposal envisions using landfill to build out the shoreline between Ontario Place and Bathurst Quay, thereby doubling the land area of the site. This new land would make it possible to extend Queen’s Quay and connect it to Dufferin Street, which would improve access to Ontario Place by linking all modes of transportation, most importantly the streetcar line. By selling and leasing the new land that is created, enough revenue could be generated to finance the landfill and subsidize public park space. The addition of low-rise housing within a mixed-use development would help bridge the gap between the existing waterfront neighborhood to the east and Ontario Place.

Alexandra Park is a social housing development from the 1960â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nestled between three of Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most popular shopping districts: Kensington Market, Chinatown, and Queen Street West. As is the case with so many housing developments of the time, the area has become prone to vandalism and crime. This development proposal seeks to bring life into this enclosed community by joining the three major shopping districts through a sinuous pedestrian street, an urban feature that Toronto currently lacks aside from the upscale distillery district. This project aims to achieve this by proposing specific guidelines for the developers in order to create a pedestrian friendly neighborhood that is not only sustainable but maximizes the amount of open space as a livable space.

Ecological Site Studies: Tommy Thompson Park Tommy Thompson Park is located at the foot of the Don River Watershed east of the Toronto Islands. It is a man-made headland extending 5km into Lake Ontario, constructed of clean fill removed from development sites in Toronto. Construction began with the installation of the Bloor Subway Line and continues to be constructed with clean fill from present day developments. Today, the TRCA manages the site and supports the generation of ecological systems. Toronto
The section begins at an elevated wetland area, cuts across an access road and continues to an Eastern Cottonwood grove.

Ecological Site Studies: Long Point Provincial Park Long Point is a forty-kilometer sand spit that stretches out into Lake Erie. The wetland habitat has created a world-renowned refuge and stopover for migrating birds. Long Point Provincial Park is also located in this area and is home to 256 camp sites that receives 100,000 visitors annually. This section stretches from Lake Erie through the maintained camp ground. Toronto
The health of the sand dunes at Long Point Provincial Park has been negatively impacted by human recreational disturbance, campground maintenance regimes and invasive species. The matrix demonstrates the changing condition and human usage of the park from 1800 to 2012. It also aims to project what can be done to improve the ecological condition of the park by year 2050.

MLA Final Thesis
Panic On Queen St.: The Neglected Landscapes The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) is Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest mental health and addiction teaching hospital, as well as one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading research centers in the area of addiction and mental health. CAMH is currently undergoing redevelopment in order to revitalize the community and change attitudes towards those with mental illness and addiction. With two phases already complete, CAMH redevelopment project proposes to convert the 27-acre site on Queen Street West into a welcoming integrated community, incorporating new CAMH facilities with shops, businesses, parks, and residences as well as an inclusive healing neighborhood by 2020. This thesis is based on the premise that a patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience and interaction with their surroundings play an integral role in their therapy. It can facilitate and enhance recovery and ultimately prevent relapse. It aims to bring landscape architecture to the forefront of redevelopment plans by shifting the design paradigm from a static conventional approach to a more dynamically holistic and equally integrated model. It proposes a therapeutic environment conducive to interactions between patients, healthcare staff, and the rest society thereby facilitating an effective dialogue that has yet to be elucidated, thus stigmatizing the world of mental health sciences. It aims to achieve this through the systematic deconstruction of architectural strategies into elemental components, each with their unique influence on the psychosomatic response of the individual. It will adopt a configuration which not only protects the individual from the mental anxiety they face in the outside world, but empowers them to transition flawlessly back into the society as a rehabilitated individual.

Perspective I: Acute Zone - Patient Specific - Enclosed Garden
The Impermeable Zones are used by CAMHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inpatients who suffer from an acute mental illness such as severe anxiety disorder, personality disorder and psychosis. They require high level of care, more intensive therapy, and are at risk of harm to self and others and therefore need close supervision. An essential component to these spaces should be the secure access to the exterior, whether a courtyard, fenced area or elevated screened porch. Most importantly the landscape should reinforce the sense of stability, logic, order and familiarity for the patients.

The Transitional Zones such as public plazas, parks, and the community gardens are spaces that help patients and the community, interact with one another, and therefore further facilitate the recovery of the patients back into the society. Patients who are on the path to recovery have spaces to grow plants, interact with one another and therefore feel less institutionalized and more liberated. Perspective VIII: Shaw Public Park
