BIOPHILIC D E S I G N. The “Towers on the Ravine” design competition advocated for biophilic design and innovative ways to alter the ravine space that catered to more pedestrians. “Wetlands” created using recycable materials gained from the residents living in the area would be created. This idea was used in an effort to increase the economic value of ecosystem services within the area as well as to attract more residents into the space. Illustrator Photoshop

PROMOTING W A L K A B I L I T Y. The “NXT City Prize� design competition wanted to address the need for pedestrian activity within the Liberty Market Galleria. This would be done through public art, engagement, etc. My idea was focused on attracting pedestrians through the use of light fixtures and promoting this in a way that enhances the productivity and economic prosperity of shops located in the area.

CONTOUR M O D E L. Our area is defined by the various natural and artificial features present which contribute to the varying topography of the site. These include, the Toronto Zoo features such as the Malayan Woods Pavilion trails, Rouge River, Upper Rouge Trails Park, etc. Our scale topographical model demonstrates this in an organized manner and shows the subtle changes in elevation in our area of interest using the appropriate vertical scale to create a vertical exaggeration of 2.5.
