My name is Shanne Stines, and I am a third year student, currently studying Architecture at the University of Waterloo. I enjoy roadtrips, writing, rehabilitating injured birds I find on my walks, pen sketching and weather photography. I am interested in creating accessible architecture; bringing beauty, innovation and sensibility to those who find themselves in less fortunate situations, and making architecture less a prize of the elite, and more a tool for the masses.

Buildings exceeding a certain dencity become self-contained microenvironments by nature; the larger they become, the more program they need to sustain their populations, and by this means, the more independent they become from their surrounding context. This project aims to conteract that phenomenon by means of terraced interior courtyards which will serve as spaces which will encourage public interaction with the building. The process of manufacturing, from design to final sale will be once again revealed to the public.

Elevate. Connect. Play! targets the disparity between low and high-income areas on the Don Valley and their access to nature, via trail system. The program is split into two structures; an administrative centre that consists of a basic block corkscrewing around a circulation core, to bring users from the city on the plateau, into the ravine; and an extended platform that, while level, offers different experiences to users, depending on the topography below it.

Elevate. Connect. Play! provides a series of immersive outdoor spaces that at once gives an opportunity for the less privileged children of Flemingdon Park to access and interact with nature, as well as connect the community to the existing trail system on the other side of the river, and therefore, with the rest of the city of Toronto. The outdoor interaction program is unique in its ability to provide different experiences to the users, in relation to the topography of the site, via a sky-playground, as well as to connect to the existing trail system, via a simple ground trail system.

The Cambridge Crystal aims to use the traits possessed by crystals to activate the site of galt that lies at the nexus of three important zones; the private-residential east, the public-commercial west, and the public infrastructure to the south - a major bus terminal. The Cambridge Crystal does just that; it mirrors its surroundings, and in that way, becomes a beacon. It provides a hard edge between the public-commercial core and the residential zone, where there was no hard edge before.

A study into the transofrmation of the unused urban, “junk,” space of Cambridge, Ontario into low-density housing, “Stagger. Cantilever. Modulate,” is a modern take on the Victorian row-house that is made modular in order to fit into various spacial conditions and different urban contexts, in addition to the urban condition studied here.

A new artistic community has emerged from the rubble of Detroit. They see the city as a blank canvas waiting to be coloured. The canvas is a symbol of hope, of a fresh start, fo endless possibilities. All they need is a place to begin. They have the talents to recolour their city. We will give them The Palette. We propose to enlist local artistic talent to work in creating murals, graffiti art, and found-object sculpture with which to adorn the walls and spaces of the public rooms. In doing so, we celebrate and reward the hidden gifts of Detroit’s creative class while using their skills towards rejuvenating their community.

Michigan Central Station is to be repurposed as a dual gallery and residential space. The ground floor, the former concourse of the train station is to be repurposed as a gallery and presentation space, with multiple galleries, and auditoriums for both graphic and dramatic presentations.

During the summer of 2016, I worked in New York at Heitler Houstoun Architects as an intern. There , I worked on many projects, many of which took advantage of my skills with rendering software. This project however, provided me with an opportunity to excercise other skills. This is the proposed plan of a skii lodge area for the National Winter Activity Center, a winter activity center for underprivileged urban children, found in New Jersey.

Shanne Stines 608 – 121 Acorn Place Mississauga, ON L42 3N3 To Whom It May Concern: Shanne Stines worked as a co-op architecture student (University of Waterloo) at Taylor Hazell Architects Ltd. from September through mid-December, 2015. During this time he carried out his assignments in a professional and efficient manner. Shanne performed his work with care and diligence, and always worked well with other project team members. Shanne primarily worked on seven assignments. As a team member he helped architects and principals. This work involved a great deal of organization, including careful presentation of complex presentation materials for client meetings. Needless to say, we were pleased with Shanne’s contribution to the work of the firm during his time here, and wish him all the best in his future endeavours.
Sincerely,
Jill Taylor, OAA, FRAIC, MAA, NSAA, AAPEI, CAHP Principal
