Master Thesis Project
PLACE IDENTITY ARCHITECTURE Re-Thinking Moments of Transition in the Age of Universality. Abstract: Places, today, are converging on universality and homogeneity, becoming uniform, monotone, and placeless, lacking inspiration of identity and unique experiences due to modernization and globalization. This thesis explores the idea of “being” and “identification” in city gateways, places of transition in cities, such as train stations, within the inevitable modernization. It is especially at the moment of arrival at a place of transition that place and the surroundings affect one’s experience, perception, identity, and orientation of the destination. This approach re-thinks and re-establishes the idea of place at gateways to form impactful and heightened experiences of transitions.

Framed views that aid identiďŹ cation within Toronto and are part of Toronto’s identity. As a consequence of becoming a global village, homogenization and converging of places, architecture, cultures, and people, loss of the unique is occurring and experiences of these unique places is trivial, the same, and inauthentic. With an ever increasing trend of travel, these experiences of places becomes important - especially those at which people arrive into and depart from foreign destinations. The UP express at Union lacks the identity of place, connection to place to create a meaningful experience of the city and of travel, as well as meaningful arrival and departure. Currently the terminal seems disconnected and unnoticeable from Toronto, Union station and its surroundings. The project aims to create an experience of meaningful arrival, departure, and transition at the Toronto Union Pearson Express station that emphasizes these moments and creates a heightened experience of arriving and Being in Toronto. Representing Toronto within the station and a gradual introduction without overstating identity and becoming kitschy is challenging. Furthermore, as the city is young and its identity may still be in formation, the design frames timelessness of characteristics and representations of Toronto thorough views, welcoming feel, and geographical and urban characteristics. The station forms as the meaning and manifestation of arrival or departure becomes clear together with the found identity of Toronto.

One's quality and type of experience of place not only depends on the physical place and its surroundings both tangible and non-tangible that form character, identity and experience, but also the traveler's approach to the place. The experience side of the brain functions constantly as we change from one place to another and have emotional responses to it. Experiences are exceptionally subjective, individual, and continuously on-going and changing intangibles, seeing that they depend and are created upon personal perception and understanding of a place. In a place of transition there are many experiences occurring simultaneously making the experience and response to place is elevated and overpowering. Hence both tangible and non-tangible aspects to place that aect appraoch needed to be present to make and enhance experience of place, of arrival, of departure, and of being.

Particular views were selected and framed to emphasize the arrival in Toronto and introduce one to their destination. Furthermore, these views allowed for a connection of the travelling world with the destination to be connected (Views CN Tower connected to the city core). This created a formal procession and grand entrance to the city (the diagonal x-axis in the program diagram). To bring people into the station, the amenities and activities spill into the pathway of the Skywalk and beyond into the street while keeping transparency and visual and aural focus on the train and travelling aspect.

The current Union-Pearson Express train station is disconnected from the Skywalk and furthermore, its nearby context and the city. It currently has two points of access through one threshold from as one approaches the Station via the Skywalk only. To ameliorate the current situation and moreover, create a direct experience of the moment of arrival for the traveller arriving by car or taxi, a vestibule with a pick-up and drop off area is proposed. This threshold stimulates vertical circulation within the station beginning on Station Street and ending on the Station terrace above the station. The vertical circulation core is integrated within the existing building as to create another access point from that building to the station.

On the main level, three axes of circulation and arrival meet - the vertical, the horizontal, and the diagonal. The arrival is concentrated into the diagonal that leads one in a procession under the skylight to the ticketing and information and then further onto the platform via ramp connected by the views of the CN Tower and the city core. The layout of the program is open and inviting to form interaction between individuals and between station and individuals. The curve language of the space opposes the regular angles of the city grid as well as the exterior of the station to facilitate a unique experience. These curves reference Toronto’s geographical features near Lake Ontario. Top: Station main oor plan.

It provides a visual representation of the diagonal path and its characteristics that create the heightened experience of place and of arrival in relation to the other spaces within the station. This section, as well as Building section C-C in Figure 109 both depict the connection that the station creates between the street and city with the station platform and train tracks.
This building section above, Section C - C, depicts the circulation crossings and the arrival into the city. With the vertical circulation core, this section shows the dierent station levels and activities that engage the individual to participate in the experience of the station and the city as well as to create moments to experience the destination. At the same time this section shows moments and places of pause in relation to the circulatory moments i

The mezzanine lounge is a space provided for both travellers and non-travellers to take a pause or break from their journey through the station and enjoy their time in transition. It is a spot intended for travellers who have time to linger. For non-tarvellers that work nearby, this is a potential space for gatherings and breaks throughout the work day. For non-travellers that are passing by, the mezzanine can be a space of pause as well as observation of the world of travel and or place where one can day dream about travelling else-where. Such spaces, as the lounge, the cafe and waiting areas, counter the daily present go-go-go attitude.

For further experience of the city there is a roof terrace that provides optimal views of the southern side of Toronto and the CN Tower. Unfortunately Lake Ontario cannot be viewed from this terrace as taller buildings block the views. However, this terrace can be used for social and public events, and can be a spot to view train activities; for example like the departing of the Union Pearson Express train with someone one might have brought to the station to say farewell to. The green areas of the terrace are also accessible to the public.

HAVEN Project Objectives: Design a temporary and postable enducational facility for places in the world that have been touched by crisis. The project encouraged the use of FINSA materials, the competition sponsor. Other Team Members: Jennifer Grant Design Description: Haven is designed to address the violence and mental health issues that are an ongoing crisis in Yemen. Schools are taken over and raided by gunmen, war is ongoing resulting in many children suering from prolonged exposure to trauma and violence and causing toxic stress. Recent studies show this violent activity also prevents 1.3 million Yemeni students from pursuing their edication. Amony many others, Yemen is only one of the countries who are battling against violence, therefore the need for safe and secure educational buildings is crucial.

Facility Floor Plan As a project, Haven uses a variety of techniques in order to provide safety for students. The modular design contains a variety of classrooms and services that circle around a protective gathering space where children can play and learn in the open space. Views into the building are minimized through an Middle-Eastern inspired screen, adding feeling of safety, while also acting as a functional security element and a form of cultural customization. The interior is meant to feel like an enjoyable space, where children can decorate their modular classrooms with cultural trinkets and textiles. This adds to the overall mental feeling of being happy and secure from the trauma that goes on not far from their school walls.
The building operates as a passive sustainable system. It uses natural ventilation, controls light with the use of over hangs and creates energy from solar panels directed towards the south. The South facing kitchen contains an opening in the outer wall, enabling the reection of sunlight to enter into the solar cooker. This provides an energy eďŹƒcient cooking method.

URBAN LIVING CENTRE Project Objectives: The challenge of this project was taking a brutalist building in Toronto and transform the existing with new design while maintaining the built character. The building of choice is OISE at the University of Toronto. Design Description: UniďŹ cation and organization was a major component of the design as well as the modernization of the concrete building. A podium was introduced to invite the University of Toronto and surrounding community and the surrounding into the spaces. Being located across from the Varsity Field, the atrium and social living space to become an event space during sporting activities. The tower is strictly academic, although, there are many opportunities for collaboration and socializing with lounges among professional and academic rooms and socializing.
16
These diagrams depict the process in which the building form was derived and what aspects were looked upon to be emphasized through bold moves on the interior and exterior of the building. Firstly, to intensify and densify the existing program, in addition to creating a social hub within OISE, the existing building form was altered with the addition of program on the south west side. In order to emphasize the social aspect of the podium program, a social area was outlined and further emphasized by extending it outwards on the sides showing it’s importance. It was also observed that there was a possibility for a main horizontal circulation through the podium from the south end of OISE to the north end of OISE. To emphasize this and make this access point the primary, parts of the facade of that volume are pushed back and the volume is extruded beyond the podium height limits. For the reason that horizontal circulation was emphasized in the podium, it was necessary then to emphasize the vertical circulation in the tower, as these are also main spaces for interaction. Hence a volume is extruded beyond tower height limits and to the west side to showcase this.

TRAVERSAL THRESHOLDS Project Objectives: Creation of a guest service facility for the Farnsworth House site using preservation as provocation for design. Design Description: The concept behind the Farnsworth house, which continues to be one of the great challenges existing in today`s urban society was an attempt to reconnect the individual with nature. This connection is highlighted through the medium of a man made shelter, providing both transparency and structure to frame the outdoor environment while integrating the individual into the surrounding nature. The proposed visitor`s center will strive to enhance the individual`s connection to nature by integrating the center with the Rob Roy Creek. The Rob Roy Bridge will be replaced by an additional circulation route, framing the journey`s approach and descent from the house through transparent glass bridges. Preservation through nature.
a The Farnsworth house in Illinois, one of the most influential architectural buildings of the twentieth century, has become an architectural pilgrimage site in which both the form and its location are integral to its historical relevance. The Rob Roy Creek runs directly through the site leading into the Fox River. The Rob Roy bridge, built by Lord Palumbo upon deciding to open the site to visitors, connects the existing visitor`s center to the Farnsworth House and serves as the main circulation route.

The bridges will create a focus on the creek while preserving the sites original connection to the Farnsworth house. The glass walls of the bridge are used to intensify a connection with the outdoor environment, while the opposing solid forms create an integrated frame work by blending the exterior façade into the natural surroundings. The overall form remains orthogonal on its exterior elevations while its interior faces contrast the form by creating an organic shape, following the flow of the river.

PRESERVATION & PROVOCATION: Preservation of the site is created by introducing sustainable techniques onto the site in order to highlight the natural surroundings of the Farnsworth house. The original circulation route connectingthe visitor`s center to the house will been maintained;however an additional route enhances the visitor’s journey to the house. The form of the visitor`s center is comprised of two parallel forms which embrace the contours of the Rob Roy Creek. The opposing forms are temperature controlled based on programmatic use while the glass bridges remain unconditioned spaces. Green roofs cover both forms which are maintained through irrigation techniques using the water from the creek. Black Locust wood, a highly durable and natural product which is a more sustainable option comparable to Ipe wood, clads the exterior faces in vertical slats. The exterior walls are thicker to maintain temperature control, along with double glazed glass.

WINTERPEG Project Objectives: Design of a waming station for the Winnipeg Warming Hut on Ice competition Other Team Members: Tara Castator, Judy Manouk, Matthew Ferguson, Winnie Westerlund, and Inga Hegdahl Eggen Design Description: Based on the colloquial nickname “Winterpeg”, this proposal embodies the spirit of the snowy city. The sliding acrylic pegs encourage visitors and sightseers to interact and leave their mark on the installation. The facades will bear the marks of playful name writing, as well as the splayed outline of overly enthusiastic skaters. The central fire casts a warm glow onto the yellow interior, inviting passersby to de-thaw their fingers by the warm hearth.

Warming Hut Axonometric
Meanwhile the white exterior walls reflect icy landscape surrounding the hut. During the day the clear pegs make reference to the icy river, breaking up the visual form of the hut with transparency and reflection. However on cloudy days, and when the sun’s light dissipates, the acrylic tubes will burn bright with the fire’s reflected glow. When the gloom of winter reaches its peak, the hut will glow warm and bright as a beacon, beckoning hikers, skiers, and skaters to seek shelter within.

10 X MED Project Objectives: Implementation of a fully resolved architectural proposal which addresses the chosen crisis; the issue of vulnerability versus resilience. Design Description: The project addresses the health crisis in Awerial county, a safe haven for refugees from other regions of South Sudan and surrounding countries. It serves the present but also builds resilience for the future through education and practice. Being of modular construction it is practical, and adaptable to the situations that may occur on site; i.e. growing population or relocation. Modularity allows for exibility in use and in needs. The idea modular architecture is the future of crisis architecture. With modules, universal architectural design solutions can be applied to any need and be used in any crisis.

The layout of the modules and program are separated strategically; the administration, a patient’s start point, leads one to the next clusters of various patient wards. This layout creates courtyards for module clusters and creates circulation access through two main axes for patient families (camping quarter for patient families). The exterior render and section A-A reforce this layout idea.

Because these modules are meant to be transported and assembled on site, the weight-factor was a priority. Materials for the oor and wall assemblies were chosen by weight and their thermal performance in desert conditions; such as light-weight steel and thermopian insulation and cladding.
It is understandable that natural light is both a health beneďŹ t as well as pleasurable. However due to security reasons in addition to hot climatic conditions, glazing and openings were in question. Louvres for sun-facing walls were designed in order to create enough shade to keep the interior space cool and secure the glazing units from dangerous acts. Also to optimize day lighting and natural ventilation for patient well being, a 2-in-1 operable window is applied; the window when opened doubles as a light-shelf.

PERSPECTIVE Project Objectives: Using design as a vehicle to demonstrate the design of a small project with clear architectural intentions aligned with an acute awareeness of materials and their assembly; major components and detailed sub-components. Design Description: Perspective is a design of a studio work space for a geometer, situated on a 45-degree ravine slope. The project had speciďŹ c program requirements such as a workspace, a place of rest and contemplation, and washroom. The shape of the mass was derived from a square, which then was stretched outwards to generate the maximal amount of views towards the ravine from key interior spaces.

OFFICE 2020 Project Objectives: Design of a future-proof, upscale, sophisticated, neighborhood appropriate mixed use development with offices as the primary development, and retail/commercial as secondary tenants. Design Description: This project vies the office of the future as a place of interaction between co-workers, office departments and public. The diagonal moment of the proposal aims to draw people into the people to use the program on the ground level. Because the diagonal connects two public areas, it also gets people to pass through the building's diagonal atrium. The transparency of the material allows for additional interaction between workers and street public.

SPEAK UP Project Description: SpeakUP is an English language school that has locations throughout Europe. The office was commissioned to design the spaces of the school in various layouts and options. The final product was a design guidebook that local designers would follow in order to complete and adjust the design adequately to the intended rented school space. The project encompasses three main ideas; limiting transparency through the classroom window walls, incorporating colour, and flexibility while keeping natural elements and a natural colour palette. This is evident in the plans and renders. The main responsibility during the internship was to design and provide drawings of the bathrooms for this school project.

As the locations of the Schools were not speciďŹ ed, a guidebook for the design was needed. The oor plans on the left and below are two of the few layouts developed for the various unknown school locations. For the most part of the internship, it was my responsibility to design and detail the washrooms of the project. On the right are two renders of the space. The colour palette chosen is neutral and ties with the main lounge colours as seen in the render. The triangular-shape mirror pattern is a key feature and is continuous throughout the design of the school.
Below are a few elevations of the bathroom design.

ART YARD SALE Design Description: The oďŹƒce was chosen, through a design competition, to design the art exposition scheme for the ART YARD SALE event at the UďŹƒcio Primo in Warsaw, which took place on May 19th-20th. Because that year's theme for the event was recycling, the design utilized corrugated paper to create the circulation layout and organization of the open space, which also turned into an art installation. 1m x 1m cardboard boxes were assembled together to create tables and walls for artists participating in the event to display their work. For this project my idea was selected for the design of a subtle yet powerful way to display and advertise the author of the design, MOOMOO Architects, and adhere to the theme of the exposition layout design.

COMPASS Project Objectives: By using sustainable, recyclable and reclaimed materials to design and build a one-of-a-kind food cart for the Stop’s annual night market; a charity event hosted to raise money and awareness of hunger and poverty. Design Description: Taking inspiration from the principles of guidance and access, the idea of a compass came to mind. The cart supports are designed like compass stars. As this is a evening event, when the lights installed in these supports are lit up, they create intricate patterns on the ground that invite and lead participants to the cart. The cart itself, is constructed of recycled dimensional lumber, and the lights are powered by mini garden solar panels mounted on top of the cart.
