Curriculum Vitae
Roderick H. Young Architect Architecture | Residential | Institutional January 2015 - May 2015
Shabaan has exceeded our expectations of what a Co-operative Student would bring to this firm. He worked independently, was always punctual, stayed late when asked to do so in order to meet deadlines, was thoroughly reliable on all tasks, and always approached Staff one his jobs were completed looking for the next thing he could do for us. He maximized his use of time for all tasks. Shabaan's 3-D modeling skills were utilized for our new elementary school project to provide us with coloured renderings, and an AutoCAD video walk through for our Clients so they could “see� and review the proposed school during a presentation. Shabaan was also instrumental in the finalizing of construction drawings for an entry canopy for the new elementary school. Shabaan contributed to a number of school renovation projects underway in our office turning his hand to CAD drawings, door and window schedules, and room and colour finish schedules. He had the opportunity to go to a variety of sites to measure and document existing conditions working on several churches, a parking lot layout, several municipal government renovation projects and a variety of smaller residential projects. He was also introduced to the relationship between architectural design, and legislation such as the Ontario Building Code and Zoning By-Laws. Shabaan always showed himself willing to learn something new. Shabaan's interactions with Staff were always respectful, open and friendly. His versatility, and willingness allowed us to utilize his skill set in various applications ranging from office tasks to complex drawing details, he gladly moved back and forth between tasks as needed. We encourage Shabaan to further develop his confidence and personal presentation skills as he has many good ideas that, once presented, were often incorporated into the work. It was an absolute pleasure having Shabaan on board, and we will certainly miss him both personally, and for his professional contribution to Roderick H. Young Architect. It is unanimous among our Staff that we would welcome him back to work with us again.
We wish him well in the future.

Harmony Lodge Fourth Year Studio. Lodge at Oyunuma Comprehensive Design Spring 4B
Harmony Lodge is a musician's studio located in Noboribetsu, Hokkaido, Japan along the River Oyunuma. The building is separated into 3 major zones; the Social, the Inner, and the Sensory. The program is divided among these 3 sections, reflecting different acoustic conditions.
The building is situated to take advantage of views
into the valley. The main communty volume, identified as the Social, is a large open space with exterior decking to promote collaboration. The nodes along the back wall are considered as the Inner residences designed to inspire inner reflection through silence and acoustic separation. The space below is known as the Sensory, containing a lush garden landscape and thermal bath. Its high walls allow for the amplification of the sounds of nature.

OMEGA Third Year Studio. Hyper Buildings Winter 3A In Collaboration with Safaa Alnabelseya and Sara Ibrahim
Among Toronto's vast landscape of towers that seems to grow with the city's increasing population, OMEGA creates an internal infrastructure of program that not only welcomes the public, but contains a private community of its own as well. A center for multi-use office space, large residential units, light industrial manufacturing, ground level retail, and elevated theatre space. Located between Lower Sherbourne and Princess street, OMEGA is situated between the highly commercial North side of Front Street, and the high density residential community along the Esplanade.
As an extension of the Esplanade, the green
ramp accomodates the interaction of the current residential neighbourhood, bringing to it, a place of open convention. Occupied by street vendors selling food, or freelance musicians busking to entertain the public, it becomes a hub for social interaction between the comunities. Locations of light industrial manufacturing are designed for versatility and transparency, to be used for the construction of musical instruments while inviting a view into the process.
Circulation about the two towers is fundamentally
separated by public and private use; the public using the cores by the office tower to reach the theatre or convention space; the private using the cores in the residential tower to reach their homes. With such a structurally dynamic form, the use of a steel diagrid system intertwining with an anchoring column grid determined to be the most economic and efficient construction method. OMEGA takes advantage of the diagrid by pushing the structure towards the exterior allowed for grand spaces such as the atrium in the residential tower and the convention spaces, while the column grid gave foundation for the use of office space, retail, and manufacturing.
By
accomodating
both
the
high
density
neighbourhood and the intense commercial street, OMEGA materializes the transition between the two.

First Year Studio. Junk Space Winter 1B In Collaboration with Thomas Noussis, Ivee Wang, and Shanne Stines
Junk space is a project that seeks to develop small unused and undesired locations with multi unit housing that will accommodate low to middle class societies. Responding to the steep topography, and existing buildings surrounding the area, an elevated design for 7 units was developed. There are five individual units and two larger family units. The individual units are staggered along the slope of the site and cantilever over the area for a sheltered parking. The two family units, constructed in the same way as the first five, are located separately. Each unit is made up of a light steel construction frame. Though not recommended for large cantilevers, it is made possible through an exposed steel truss within the unit. They rest upon a concrete foundation, built into the side of the hill. The unit is clad in sheet steel on the roof which flows along to one side. This allows for an advantage against snow and rain. The other side is clad with horizontal wood, allowing for an elegant contrast.

reDEFINE Second Year Studio, Final Project Community Center Fall 2A
reDEFINE is a community center project located in downtown Galt near the corner of Water St. and Simcoe St. It strives to bring back a balance to what a community center really stands for. The community center is meant to provide support for those within the community through its services. It is more common now that the community center is directed towards one side or the other in terms of supporting each class. They either cost too much for the low and middle class families to attend or are strictly for those in desperate need. reDEFINE incorporates both these classes within its infrastructure. It provides recreational services such as swimming, music recording, daycare services, a performance auditorium and a cafe, but also is capable of supporting the homeless population in Cambridge as well. The homeless center allows those who need services such as internet, laundry, resume writing, counseling, and minimal housing to use the space so that they may be a part of the community.

Second Year Studio Project Urban Landscape Intervention Spring 2B In Collaboration with Joel Temblay
The creation of high activity nodes connect existing routes and draw attention to key points in the Don Valley through the different types of biking. Specific trails and locations in the Don have been kept secret in order to maintain their existence, but by connecting them to a larger infrastructure will sustain and provide new points of discovery, primarily for the average and avid bikers. These Nodes sustain themselves through natural energy and can provide support as emergency aide in relatively remote situations. Each site is designed specifically for its adjacent context providing maximum efficiency. The sites can act as checkpoints along the Don, providing users with water and rest stops.

Charles Sauriol Conservation Area This site contains a large population of low rise residential housing and an additional area of high rise residential across the river. The goal of this node is to create a rest stop for the family cyclists and commuters in this area.

Intertwined. Second Year Final Studio Project Urban Landscape Intervention Spring 2B
Intertwined. endeavours to enhance bike culture between socially remote communities. The Charles Sauriol Conservation Area in Toronto, ON is an example of a community where suburban and high rise housing are separated by the Don River and a thick forest. Both communities sustain themselves sufficiently in terms of programs like religious center, restaurants and schools. However, these two smaller communities are so close to each other that it does not make sense for them to be separate. Toronto's Don Valley is home to a network of bike trails used by thousands of people for their leisure and convenience, but they lack a significant coherency. There are many stray trails that don't connect like they should. This is reflected in the Charles Sauriol Conservation Area.
Intertwined. takes into account for
those stray trails and incorporates a design to bring people from around both neighborhoods to transition into the other's through enhancing the prospect of biking. The desire is that the trails no longer become unintentional, but become thresholds for this one moment of intensity between communities, and then reach into each other. Intertwined. itself incorporates the construction of a restaurant, cafe, bike part trade center, and repair shop. Not only will this enhance bike culture between the communities, but it will bing them closer together over a previously untouched territory.

Second Year Iconography, Final Project Cultural Play Spring 2B In Collaboration with 2B Class
The Waterloo Architecture program has the 2B class host a play, completely written, coordinated, budgeted, constructed, and performed by the students. My class partook in the development of a play following the life of Antonin Artaud, a French dramatist, poet, and director who loses himself trying to perfect a play about “The Purloined Letter� by Edgar Alan Poe. A play within a play. I was initially a part of the music team, but very quickly found myself taking on jobs as necessary in areas of set construction, costume design, and fabrication. While recording and composing scores alongside the music team, I began to also collaborate with the costume and set design teams. Before long, I was leading the construction of tables and parts of the set as well as designing and fabricating costume pieces such as headdresses, rings, and earrings.

Beyond my academic and professional development in architecture, I have expanded upon mu interests in digital fabrication and photography. I've advanced a simple design initiative I began in high school to a personal interdisciplinary design practise under SK Designs. I designed 3D animaitions for local businesses, conceptual interior renovations, and specialized cochlear implant jewelry. Through SK Designs, I started taking on projects involving interior designs, such as requested by the Islamic School in Cambridge, ON. With a specific focus on developing cochlear jewelry for the hearing impaired, I was also able to achieve international sales.

With an architectural project on the school already in the works, the board wanted a new party to take on the design of the existing interior foyer space, library and new science center. This resulted in a proposed design that included new millwork pieces, new paint and floor finishes, and more integration of usable space.
