BIO I am an Intern Architect with the belief that good design can create positive change in the world. Having completed seven years of education, a graduate thesis, and over four years of work experiences, I have begun to carve the path towards my life-long passion of growing into an architect who will advance empathy, community strength and happiness in our built environments. My interests lie in the intersection of built and natural landscapes, and the lessons to be learned from the tension created between what we build and where we build it. I am fascinated by how profoundly space can influence well-being, and the unique power we have to shape built environments into spaces that celebrate identity and meaning. I practice the pairing of research and design and enjoy balancing my professional experiences with academic ventures that echo the same ideas. Theory informs my practice and experience informs my thinking. As such, I seek to learn all types of knowledge that will deepen my understanding of what good design can do. I hope you enjoy getting to know me through my work.

SNEHA SUMANTH

Submechanophilia During the 16 months of my graduate thesis, my mind dwelled in the realm of the ocean. I understood the landscape as a collective space of three matters - air, water, and earth - each holding a relationship with its human and non-human inhabitants. The ocean is one of our world’s least explored territories. It is where life originated; it’s dark depths hold secrets to our questions of existence, energy, and continuity. I was fascinated by how the natural composition of the Southern California Bight drew in forces both living and non-living, containing them in a microcosm of synergy resonating with all that is natural. Here, air, water and earth are together in constant motion, and their natural order transcends any controls laid by man. Using the practice of architectural drawing, I exposed my fascination of partially submerged large mechanical objects to uncover the inner workings of what was taking place under the seemingly solid surface of Oil’s political establishment. I immersed myself in the stories of twenty-four offshore oil platforms in California’s ocean, whose submerged metal lattices have grown into expansive and diverse artificial reefs, harboring prolific life despite the frequently assumed opinion that oil and fracking have permanently polluted the water. The thesis is an attempt to uncover the site’s hidden rhythms through a speculation into its future life that is not governed by the limits of capitalist and anthropocentric intentions, but is instead guided by the site’s forces of energy, matter, and life. Drawing from sociologist Bruno Latour’s spirit of inclusivity and irreduction, the future design initiates a transdisciplinary environment for scientific research, inviting curious minds to immerse themselves in a territory of co-habitation and symbiosis.

SITE MAP: The Southern California Bight The site under study is a 200 mile stretch of coastline in Southern California, along which 23 offshore oil and natural gas platforms lie in federal waters, installed from 1968 to 1989. Drawn through deep drilled wells, it is brought up to the platforms that service their production, processing and storage. It is then transported to shore through ships and networks of underground pipelines to onshore processing, refining and storage facilities.

1969 OIL SPILL MAP In 1969, a large oil spill occurred off of Platform A, offshore of Santa Barbara. The intense pressures and inadequate casing on a 1000m deep well caused a rupture in the ocean bed 200 meters away from the platform, starting the spill. It lasted for weeks, spreading in different directions to the will of the wind. Oil derricks offshore Summerland in the late 1800’s 6

SECTION - Platform A The thesis uses the power of the section to slice through the hidden strata of ocean and earth, revealing the machinesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; true forms. Under the surface of the water, their submerged metal lattices anchor them to the ocean floor as their wells grow past the surface of the earth for thousands of feet into cavernous basins of precious black gold. Beyond our visible sight, these machines constantly feed on our earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ancient reservoirs, sucking them dry. In section, the machines cannot hide beneath a seemingly solid surface, and are represented in their reality. 7

ECOLOGICAL SYMBIOSIS The platforms act as breakwaters and enable the formation of incredible artificial reefs that support thousands of species. The vertical nature of these structures and the horizontal and diagonal members of beams and crossbeams allow for a variety of resting points and habitation in the water column. On these surfaces a substantial number of invertebrates attach, forming a layer almost half a meter thick. SECTION: 23 PLATFORMS A typical fixed offshore oil platform is a metal structure composed of a deck [above water], and a jacket [under water]. Wells descend from the derrick that rises above the deck, through the structure of the jacket and into the earth for thousands of feet, accessing fields at various depths. The jacket’s structure is a lattice of columns, beams and crossbeams that are anchored with piles into the ocean floor and rise to the surface of the water, supporting the weight of deck that holds a high density of equipment and machinery. The deck is generally two to three levels of floorplates resting on a similar structure of columns, beams, and trusses or crossbeams. During installation, the jacket is towed to site and placed in position after which the deck follows and is attached on top. The base structure is then fitted and filled with the equipment necessary to carry out the platforms intended operations.

BATHYMETRY, PREVAILING WINDS & EDDIES The Southern California Bight’s ocean bed has a complex bathymetry, which creates zones of sediment and nutrient accumulation that foster rich ecosystems. The prevailing winds along the coast drive waters away from shore, moving with them nutrients, plankton and larvae from kelp beds along the shore. Due to this, colder, deeper, nutrient rich waters move up the water column to replace the shifted surface waters, creating regions of local upwelling.

A THIRD LANDSCAPE The varying depths of the platforms allow for a great range of species to inhabit them, ranging from benthic and epifauna, larger mesopelagic fish, smaller epipelagic fish, marine and amphibious mammals to birds and human beings. This setting brings to light the theory of the Third Landscape, proposed by landscape architect Gilles Clement. - the terrain leftover by man to the evolution of nature alone. In these spaces, what is not man-made overtakes, consumes and thrives. Under the water, the platformâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jackets are a part of a connected ecosystem across the entire site. 9

SITE STRATEGY: AN ECOLOGICAL NETWORK Currently, movement on the site dominantly services the agenda of oil, structured in economic hierarchy towards shore, isolating each group of platforms. By simply connecting the platforms to one another, and major public points on shore, a new network, that mirrors the connectivity of the existing ecological network, is revealed. The platforms sit in five archipelagos, but a connective tissue can begin to form along these lines, composed of the movements of various species, materials and energies that take part in their future.

SECTION: ENERGY The energy of the site is its constant motion. On the site, this movement of energy helps unite the living and non-living, the sensory and the intellectual. The energy of the site is felt by all who inhabit its eclectic mix of harbors, piers and beaches. Its movement is largely unpredictable, changing drastically over seasons. Despite the several oil spills, fracking and waste, the bight is one of the healthiest bodies of water - simply so because of its ability to self cleanse through the constant movement of air and water.

SECTION: THE SIX SCIENCES Calling on the six sciences that are most engaged with studying the site: Geology, Marine Biology, Oceanography, Atmospheric Physics, Engineering and Sociology, this section diagrams their extent and method of interaction with the environments of air, water, earth and metal. 10

SITE STRATEGY: THE LIFE OF METAL The design focuses on one archipelago of platforms off the coast of Ventura and Oxnard composed of four platforms: Gail, Gina, Gilda and Grace. Taking platform Gail as a model, the design proposes one platform in each archipelago to grow into a tower that will contain a set of programs for scientific research. The remaining platforms are left as skeletons with voids, the only growth being that of the assembly of the forces of energy, matter and life; as they slowly become habitats, to the species of the site. The tower grows in phases until the end of the metal structureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life - projected to be 300 years in the future, as their processes of degradation are slowed down by the protective coat of life.

SECTION: GAIL 2050 In 2050, the tower is modified through subtraction and infill, providing a cluster of public and private levels that account for zones of research, and synthesis of field work on the left half of the platform, and living and boarding on the right. Between them is a central void that deploys vertical and horizontal circulation.

CIRCULATION & EXCHANGE This diagram shows the movement of the six scientists through the structure, following them to typical spaces they would occupy in a day. The designâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emphasis on circulation spaces to enable meeting and exchange amongst the different scientists. Vertical circulation is focused in the void, from which horizontal circulation is deployed, running around the edges of the structure.

SECTION: GAIL 2100 In 2100, the tower has expanded to accommodate another vertical cluster of open/public and closed/private levels, growing outwards around the expanding central void. A second void begins around the derrick as programs for living and boarding on the east zone wrap around it. Each undersea level receives a main laboratory and another observation walkway that wrap around the structure, allowing lookouts to the inside and outside of the reefs.

SECTION: GAIL 2200 In 2200, the tower has expanded to accommodate a third vertical cluster of open/public and closed/ private levels. The first undersea level receives an observation deck that wraps around the structure. The second undersea level receives an observation deck and secondary pods for lab and collective space. The third undersea level receives an observation deck, secondary lab, collective pods, and sleeping pods. PARTIAL SECTION 3 PARTIAL SECTION 1

SECTION: EXPOSURE This drawing shows how the occupants of the structure are vulnerable to and surrounded by extreme natural events such as a storm by revealing how little of the platform is completely closed off from these conditions, heightening oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exposure to their external world. In this scenario, our internal, irrational, subjective selves are confronted with very external reality we choose to understand, in its full force, irreduced and unsimplified.

PARTIAL SECTION 3

SECTION: MIGRATION There are six species of birds that inhabit the site; three of them are migratory. Birds frequently interact with the platforms and the scale of the platform invites them in flocks. This drawing looks to situate the forces of life in a horizontal ontology amongst its fellow human and non-human forces of energy and matter by identifying all species that occupy the site in order of their appearance in section, a spatial order that I use in this thesis to overcome any political hierarchies of order, and instead reveal the tangle of relationships between all actants at play.

SECTION: LIFE This drawing looks to situate the forces of life in a horizontal ontology amongst its fellow human and non-human forces of energy and matter by identifying all common species that occupy the site in order of their appearance in section, a spatial order that I use in this thesis to overcome any political hierarchies of order, and instead reveal the tangle of relationships between all actants at play. A wide range of species inhabit the site, and their prolific presence is evidenced by frequent feeding frenzies.

SECTION: POSTHUMAN The decommissioning of the platform takes place when the metal can no longer hold itself up. The decks are removed and either sunk to the bottom or transported to shore to be recycled. The jackets are cut 80ft below the surface so as to not affect ship movement, and the top half is sunk to the bottom. The structure is left to the will of the water and are overtaken by the growth of further reefs as human beings exit the setting as permanent residents. In his book Sapiens, Yuval Noah Harari points to two aspects of the human brain that evolved sometime between 70,000 to 30,000 years ago, beginning our speciesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cognitive evolution: the ability to imagine and the ability to extensively communicate these imaginations. Brought together, this gives our species the power of fiction, and soon, we developed the abilities to bring those fictions into our reality. This ability holds us together as a collective, catalyzing a third inherent character - that of human curiosity. This drawing is the last of an imagination of a world in which we continuously choose to satiate our curiosities and develop our understandings, with care that we are but a part of a whole whose sum is greater than its parts.

Buoyant Foundation Project Flooding is a rapidly increasing crisis whose effects transcend environmental and geographical issues, attacking communitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; social and economic footings. With an increasingly unpredictable climate, densifying urban realm, and rapidly growing human population, the threat of flooding is at the forefront of global issues. Cities face worse flooding at greater frequencies, and as the global urban population steadily increases, we risk greater social and economic damage with each flood. Current flood mitigation strategies are top-down, hard infrastructure, and static approaches that are quickly becoming insufficient in the face of a changing environment and at times even contribute to the damage and effects of flooding by resisting the natural flow of water. There is an urgent need for innovative solutions that adapt to a changing climate and landscape Amphibious architecture allows a structure to float on the surface of rising floodwater rather than succumb to inundation. A buoyant foundation is an amphibious flood-mitigation technology specifically designed to retrofit an existing structure, allowing it to rise with the water during a flood and return safely back to the ground when floods subside. This strategy works with, instead of against, changing water levels. It is an entirely passive system that requires no energy inputs, and keeps a home safe from the destructive forces of floodwater. During a flood, it ensures that a residentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home and possessions stay safe, reducing or eliminating damage, and preventing prolonged displacement. The Buoyant Foundation Project conducts research and design for amphibious housing, mostly in vulnerable, at-risk, and low-income communities.

GLOBAL FLOOD RISK Generated through GIS, this map portrays flood-risk at a global scale. The data considers environmental and geographical parameters of risk such as elevation, climate and seismicity, as well as social and economic parameters such as resiliency, infrastructure, poverty, knowledge and government policy that greatly affect the vulnerability of flood-prone areas.

Floating Hope: Innovative Flood Resilience for Vietnam

competition entry for the lafarge holcim awards: in collaboration with suhaib bhatti, scott turner, max schramp & natasha klink This project focuses on Vietnamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mekong Delta where annual flooding places millions of peoplesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; homes and lives at risk. Each instance of flooding is its own local condition requiring solutions that address unique economic, environmental and social conditions. The project proposal aims to enhance economic prosperity by mitigating annual flood damage and creates social self- sufficiency by involving the community in the construction process.

WATER IN VIETNAM Water is a way of life in Vietnam. The countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s geography is crisscrossed with a network of hard infrastructure that is accompanied by parallel lanes of water infrastructure. Residents move by boats as much as they walk, shop at floating markets and have settled with the rise and fall of water as a way of life. However, severe climate and sporadic flooding due to effects of climate change are slowly making their adaptations inadequate. The widely used static elevations under houses are not enough as flood levels increase year by year. While Vietnam has houses on stilts and houses that float, they do not have houses that can do both. For this reason, we are finding that Buoyant Foundations are welcomed with open arms: it seems to them a natural combination of their existing housing, and a new and wonderful way to live with water.

COMMUNITY RESILIENCE The Lang Sen wetlands are a protected and regulated landscape, marked of as a biodiversity zone. Here, houses are lined along parallel lines of hard and water infrastructure. For many, being safe from floods means being elevated at or above the road line. The intimate connection between land, water, people and their communities is central to the culture of the Mekong Delta. Amphibious foundations can protect against flood related displacement, foster greater community resilience, and provide a way for residents to stay in their homes.

Between the Lakes entry for the 2018 venice beinnale canadian pavillion: in collaboration with natasha klink, dr. elizabeth english, eric haldenby & walterfedy architects The First Nations of Manitoba inhabit their landscape, their lives integrated with the land beneath them and the water beside them. Before European settlement in Canada, First Peoples lived in harmony with the earth and water and moved with the seasons, avoiding the floods that came with the spring. Their communities are now bounded and enclosed within designated reserve land into rooted towns cannot move with the floodwaters. Severe natural and anthropogenic flooding damages their homes and disrupts their lives. Whole communities have been displaced or disbanded by floods. We propose a proactive architectural solution developed in conjunction with First Nations whereby homes can be adapted to changing water levels in order to sustain their community and way of life. We propose a return to Anishinaabe roots: to float when it floods.

First Nations communities First Nations communities: Interlake Reserve Tribal Council Water Control Infrastructure

LAKE ST. MARTIN FIRST NATIONS Manitoba’s Interlake region lies between Lake Manitoba and Lake Winnipeg. Spotted with a network of rivers, and large and small lakes, its low-lying landscape is prone to flooding. Two major flood control infrastructure systems - the Portage Diversion and the Fairford Control Structure prioritize the safety of urban areas along Lake Manitoba and Lake Winnipeg, diverting water to Lake St. Martin. Lake St. Martin and the Interlake region has been home to the Anishinaabe for close to two centuries. The 2011 flood deemed these communities as ‘sacrifice zones’, affecting six communities: Ebb and Flow, Dauphin River, Lake St. Martin, Little Saskatchewan, Peguis, and Pinaymootang First Nations. At times, whole communities - like Lake St. Martin and Dauphin River were entirely displaced, their residents evacuated for years.

PROPOSAL 1: INSIDE THE CANADIAN PAVILLION

PROPOSAL 2: OUTSIDE THE CANADIAN PAVILLION

LIVING WITH WATER Three proposals were submitted to modify with the ongoing renovations of the Canadian Pavilion; adjusting to a location inside pavilion, outside the pavilion and behind the Canadian National Pavilion at the mouth of the Rio del Giardini, along the Viale Giardini Pubblici. All proposals situate the dilemma of the Lake St. Martin First Nations settlements in the history, landscape and hydrology of Southern Manitoba. The Buoyant Foundation exhibition proposes an overarching concept that can be adapted to suit a variety of sites in Venice depending on the exhibition venue. The exhibit will feature animated and interactive maps and models, accompanied by the stories and artwork of regional residents, to situate their communities and the proposed amphibious intervention. The proposals narrate the crisis of regulated flooding and sacrifice zones in First Nations communities, and then explore role that amphibious architecture can play in preventing damage and displacement, and in providing a path back to living in harmony with the landscape. It will address the growing challenge presented by climate change and examine relevant anthropic systems of various scales from the provincial, regional, local and building scale, examining treaties, reserve boundaries, man-made water control infrastructures, and other threats to the First Peoples.

Reside | Cedar Mains [This project is under construction, estimated to finish Fall 2019] Reside at 1 Cedar Mains, Caledon, Ontario is a current project I am managing at Hilditch Architect Inc. for our client Raising the Roof. Reside is their first housing initiative that procures abandoned or unused properties for renovation into subsidized co-housing. The house at Cedar Mains is a renovation of a 19th century methodist church that since had multiple purposes since then, as a gathering space for freemasons, a family home, and now a restored 3 bedroom plus den housing project for CAFFI, a local group of parents of young adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities who want their children to be able to live independantly with their required supports as they transition into adulthood. From an architectural perspective, this project was wonderfully challenging, with structural complexity and a profound heritage background. Working with not-for-profit construction managers, Building Up, this project also helped educate multiple youth in trades through Building Upâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parallel education programs. This project also required working closely with Caledonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage department and a dedicated heritage officer informing design moves during construction that highlight the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tranformation from an open three-bay gothic structure in the 19th century to a three-level home in the 20th centrury.

Combined Kitchen, HERITAGE FEATURES Dining & Living The original facade from the 19th century was clear cedar shiplap siding (shown in photos on the left) and was covered by painted brick sometime in the 20th century. The brick was degrading due to moisture damage and had to be carefully removed to expose the wood siding. The siding will be restored and re-used as the building facade. This shiplap siding also features on the interior of the house. While the beautiful gothic windows are existing, there was evidence of older methodist style windows and framing that was revealed once the brick was removed. Section Through Upper Second Floor 3 Working withScale the 1:50 city’s heritage department, the style that best captures the building’s history will be used. W1

ENVIRONMENTAL GOALS Along with the structural and heritage features, the design aims for energy efficiency and a low carbon footprint. The exterior framing of the walls and roof is doubled up for higher R-values and the house is insulated with fire retardant borate treated cellulose. The heritage windows are fitted with custom made energy efficient fibreglass windows. Careful detailing incorporates ventilation and tight drainage through the existing heritage materials in the main house and the attached lean-to.

All existing timber members had to be tested for structural stability and work involved reinforcing floor beams, sistering roof joists, and underpinning the existing rubble foundation. A fully intact 1’x1’ king beam spans the middle bay, supporting the second floor; the design had to work around this beam as well as bring the building up to current code.

Unfolding Janna Bamyan, meaning the place of shining light, is the capital of Bamyan Province in Afghanistan. The landscape is rugged, occupied my mountain ranges, valleys and sparse settlements along rivers. Bamyan has held an important presence in history: marking the western end of Buddhist expansion, it was a crucial trade hub in the second millennium with historically precious archeology. Bamyan is a jewel of peace and forward thinking in a country facing threat and terror on a daily basis. Its diversity of people, close relationship to water and hope for a prosperous future was evidenced by the call for a cultural center on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plateau facing the historical giant Buddha niches carved out of the mountainside by a Taliban attack. Placed at a high vantage point, the Bamyan is looking for a place of gathering that symbolizes its positive future. Janna is the root word in Arabic for both Paradise (Jannah), and for gardens (Jannat). The Cultural Centre for Bamyan finds its premise here, envisioned as a pause in the expansive landscape, and a catalytic hub for the community. The design is a considered approach of two parts; the concept of Jannat courtyards which serve as an organizing morphology, and embedded infrastructure resource issues unique to the site, including the integration and adaptation of local building technologies, and harvesting snow and solar energy, which cultivate holistic practices toward a sustainable future. The design runs along the plateauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest points, and orienting its gaze toward the Buddha niches to inspire memory, strength and forward thinking. This project was completed in collaboration with Professor Tammy Gaber, and fellow students Safira Lakhani and Kate Holbrook Smith.

VIEW FROM THE BUDDHA CLIFFS FRAMING SPACE - JANNATS The spaces of the Centre are a series of unfolding garden courtyards, each with its own edible arboreal themes. The organization of the complex also acts as a spatial hub, with a shift in the geometry of the layout to frame sequential vistas of the Buddha cliffs and landscape beyond. The aggregate framing of spaces surrounded by the Jannat gardens is the design compositional approach, with a focus on creating a series of community scaled spaces. Plantings within the gardens create a distinct tangibility between user and landscape, and are conducive and native to Bamyan climactic conditions. Accordingly, each garden courtyard space has a distinct theme of activity and arbor and can sufficiently appeal and cater to needs and interests for all demographics. The Jannat gardens thus create a series of unique microclimates that encompass the Cultural Centre and foster an appreciation for diversity through learning, innovation, and engagement between ideas, people, and local context.

Last Chance to See(d) Located along the Don Valley River, the site slopes down to the south and the west, forming a gradual valley towards the river. As one moves down the slope, the site develops a feeling of enclosure and protection. Short trees and shrubs frame the natural path taken by a visitor, establishing a sense of meandering through the site. It is best to keep your eyes on the ground, looking up to occasionaly encounter what the site has to offer. Inspired by the nooks and curves of the site, the project proposes botanical gardens for rare and endangered flowering plants. Last Chance to See(d) is an exploration into the history, nature, research, and preservation of thirteen special species that maintain either a rare or endangered status, or both. The unique characteristics of each species led to specific designs that tailor to its growth and life. The habitats are designed to suit each plantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; specific environmental conditions and enhance the visitorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interactive experience, increasing their knowledge of the plants life. The habitats were developed sectionally, leading to the development of each individual enclosed space in relation to each other and the site.

DISCOVERING HABITATS

DESIGNING PROTECTION Making use of the protective landscape, each endangered species exists in a separate environmentally controlled habitat that cuts into the slope to accommodate its root specificities. Each egg-shaped pod varies in height and size based on the size of flowering plant, mimicking its natural spatial environment. A series of draped roofs pass east to west covering and connecting the pods through formed pathways. The formed roof serves three purposes: the unifications of all the habitats, curating the movement of visitors on the site, and the control of light, air and temperature for each habitat. The roof acts like a blanket, preserving the environment and experience beneath it. The data for the roof was generated using the specific sections for each pod, connecting the necessary heights to the base elevation of the site that would both guide the visitor between pods and create moment of enclosure and directionality along the site.

SITE MAP - SPECIES KEY The placement of the habitats slightly alter the earth, gathering it closer to creat the neccessary soil density and slopes.

Shaping Through my education, I began to understand that a large part of the value of creativity was held in its methods of communication. Inspired by Hannah Arendtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concept that speech is what makes man a political being, I feel that my art, design, and architecture are the languages of my concepts. My thoughts and ideas lie in the crater of my mind, waiting to be shaped into a tangible form that can be shared with others. The following series of works are example of the methods in which I realize my ideas. Beginning with a chair, I have included an architectural model, a handmade book business, and some photos I have taken on my travels. I have been shaping my ideas into physical objects since I was fifteen, and will continue to do so for the rest of my life. It is a personal pleasure to witness my growth in both my thinking and my creativity as I experience more of our world.

A Chair for Lazarus Gitu in collaboration with christina robev Lazarus Gitu, also known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Snake Manâ&#x20AC;?, is a contortionist who rose to fame for his skills in extreme flexibility. At just 14 years old, Gitu was orphaned in Kenya and began to live on the streets. To make money, he trained his body to bend into unimaginable positions and was discovered by a circus scout named Ruddle, quickly being recognized for his abilities and showmanship. Gituâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performances defy the perceived limits of the human body, showcasing graceful strength and an illusion of ease. His state of constant motion inspired a chair that would move and transform with the user. Composed of extruded trapezoids cut from curly soft maple, the members are harnessed using two seatbelts running through each member. The end members are equipped with seatbelt clips that open and close the loop to configure different uses for the chair. Except for the end members, the seatbelts are not fastened to the wood, holding them together through tension and compression. The chair mimics the ease and lightness of Gitu, inviting its users to play.

Cathedral Mosque of Cordoba [1:100 model]

in collaboration with vantar angardi, natalie bellefleur, victor cocuz, christina robev & sam willman Approximately 2 meters in length, this scaled model of the Cathedral Mosque of Cordoba was made in one month using a plan, various texts, and photos of the building. This building has gone through Roman, Visgothic, Islamic and Christian occupation, gathering these layers like skins that are seen through its various styles of Spanish omeya, gothic, renaissance and baroque architecture. Expanded to its current size by four Umayyad kings during the Spanish rule, it was then conquered and converted to a Catholic church whose cathedral nave stands tall in expansive buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s center. Constructing this sectional model was an exercise in revealing the beautiful complexity and power of architecture in a political setting.

Creo: Handmade Journals A large portion of my creative explorations have been material experimentations. In 2012, I came across a way to fuse layers of plastic into a cloth-like material that could be sown together into various accessories. My favorite was journal covers and I began to make personalized presents for friends and family. Made from plastic that would otherwise add to the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waste, the covers would last a lifetime, just like a journal does for its owner. A year later, I opened an online store during an internship and was pleasantly surprised at its popularity. The money I earned funded experimentations in color and textures, as well as other accessories such as bags, wallets, laptop and phone covers. However, the commercial world of Creo stayed in books, and soon ended as school and other design work took over. I continue to make them as presents for family and friends.

The Shelter Design and Technical Guidelines is a document to inform the design and construction of emergency and transitional shelters in Toronto. Initiated by the city’s Shelter, Supports and Housing Administration, the project intends to focus on spatial design in shelters as an agent to enhance well-being, respect, and dignity for individuals accessing shelter supports, with a long term goal of supporting their transition to permanent housing. 157 City of Toronto Shelter Design and Technical Guidelines L

Three-Bed Sleeping Rooms – Not suitable for use in every shelter

The document is informed by a continuous process of engagement which involved over twenty site visits to existing shelters in the city, and ten engagement sessions on topics ranging from human rights for homeless populations and marginalized communities to building systems and environmental design of shelters. At each draft stage submission, the document was circulated to stakeholders involved in the engagement process for feedback to ensure the document reflected knowledge gained during engagement. A final draft was submited to the City in August 2019, and the document is scheduled to be published at the end of the year. Hilditch Architect Inc. is the lead writer and editor for the document, with proofreading and copy-editing support from SHS Consulting. Working as part of a small team of three, I am involved in the research, writing and editing of various sections throughout the document as well as producing diagrams to support the text, and roles in project management (internal team scheduling and bi-weekly progress reports to the client). 2

Thorncliffe Park Communiy Hub

a new model for integrated health care delivery in thorncliffe park, toronto

Ea Dr. Chu

Core

O TN

A study analyzing health in the neighbourhood (Gap Analysis Thorncliffe Park) identified an overall lack of access to primary health care and high rates of hospitalization due to preventable illnesses. This is primarily due to a lack of health care knowledge, and distrubuted, disconnected health care services within the neighbourhood.

Midwives

y lle Va al on Leg

The hub caters specifically to the health and service needs of the Thorncliffe Park community, a neighbourhood with the highest score of ethnic diversity in the city. Thorncliffe Park is facing a rapid population increase mainly consisting of newcomers and refugees, has the highest fertility rate in the city, and a large youth population.

s M t Yo ed r . k

Hub Partner Synergy & Continuity of Services

The Thorncliffe Park Community Hub aims to bring together existing neighourhood health, social service, and community providers into one location to support the community in accessing health care, while developing a new model of integrated care. The project is currently in Stage 2 with the Ministry of Health to secure capital funding, while simultaeneously developing its Integration Model, long term operational plan, and schematic design.

The Thorncliffe Park Community Hub is a community centre that will combine primary health care with specialized care, diagnostics, midwifery, social services, legal aid, and community spaces into one location in an integrated hub based model in Thorncliffe Park, Toronto.

Thorncliffe Park Urban Study In tandem with the development of the Thorncliffe Park Community Hub, I conducted an urban study of the neighbourhood with a collegue for presentation at the Architecture, Culture, and Spirituality Symposium in 2018 in Miami. The paper focused on how the neighbourhoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s density, zoning and land use, and pubic and private spaces enhance newcomer support. Compared to the typical suburban fabric, a combination of high rise apartments flexible to multigenerational families, large outdoor and indoor community spaces, and industrial zoned land appropriated as mixed use spaces, enhances community strength and accomodates the diverse cultural and religious needs of the neighbourhood.

PHOTO OF THE COMPLETED CONSERVATORY AND LANDSCAPING

The Conservatory [This project completed construction in Fall 2018] The Rileys live in a detached house with a large backyard in Cambridge, Ontario. Instead of purchasing a cottage, they wanted a space in their backyard to escape to, making a small journey into the seclusion of tall trees and natural light. The trees often attract various birds and small animals that the Rileys enjoy observing through their binoculars. Amongst the repetitive suburban lots, their backyard was to them like a small clearing in a meadow, and they wanted a way to enhance its experience in their daily lives. The goal of the project was to create a landscaping proposal that contains a series of inhabitable spaces that allowes them to dwell in various degrees of privacy and openness. The conservatory is accessed through a walkway from their house, reaching its peak amongst the trees. It is a diamond shaped three season space with ample glazing and a pyramid roof, finished with a white interior to heighten the entering sunlight. It is angled to allow the south, west and north light in, while being sufficiently shaded from direct light by the trees. Completed as a recent graduate, this was my first design that was built into an inhabitable space. The process of working closely with engaged clients, contractors and engineers inspired and excited me for future endeavors.

COMPLETE SITE PLAN 6

INTO THE TREES The design focused around the idea of framing a view and relationship with the trees. The design is a series of decks and a conservatory, all oriented to peak into the backyard. The decks step down as on moves north and privacy screens shield the north and south ends, enhancing the designâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s orientation to the north-west, into the backyard.

Ficus | Grow Op 2018 Ficus compares the different cycles that exist in the built and natural world through a series of drawings juxtaposing human understandings of time and space with biological rhythms of the organic world. Ficus (Figs) are one of the most significant genusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of trees across numerous cultural traditions and historical eras, and biologically are one of the most unique. Until recently, the largest organism on earth was a banyan fig tree, or Ficus Benghalensis, growing in India, and the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest organism was once a Ficus Religiosa, planted in 288 BC, under which the buddha is said to have obtained enlightenment. Fig trees occupy a central place in ancient greek and roman mythology, hinduism and buddhism, as well as the JudeoChristian religions. Despite their immense cultural influence and ecological relevance, the reproductive survival of each species of Fig depends entirely on a delicate dance with one specific species of wasp. Using atmospheric and annotational drawings, Ficus aims to reposition our urban concepts of time, space, and shelter with respect to more intricate and ancient natural processes. Through both a linear and cyclical understanding of time, the project narrates relationships between the City, the Fig Tree, and the Human, comparing and contrasting experiences within these frameworks to reveal their respective rhythms and symbiotic relationships.
