YANGPU BRIDGE PARK
The Yangpu District is currently divided – both by the Yangpu bridge that cuts through the middle of the neighborhood and by Yangshupu Road, which separates the residential areas from the waterfront. There is a lack of open green space in the area, and the new waterfront park will need to be elevated in order to mitigate the risk of flooding. At the same time, as the old industrial infrastructure becomes obsolete and the city begins to redevelop Yangpu, there is an incredible opportunity to liberate new open spaces and to develop new typologies for working and living. In fact, the large floorplates and high, skylit interior spaces of the old industrial buildings provide ideal spaces for the new economy and its contemporary entrepreneurial “industry”
– from fabrication and robotic labs to internet companies looking for creative workspace. The project proposes to UNITE the divided district through a new kind of elevated park that can connect currently isolated neighborhoods, streets and new buildings, crossing over Yangpushu Road and below Yangpu Bridge – and that can seamlessly link to the elevated waterfront. The new park will sponsor new ecological infrastructure, from wetlands designed to encourage remediation of the river and new wildlife to gardens of native plants and flowers. The elevated parkway will in turn create a series of outdoor “rooms” containing areas for children’s play, sports and a large amphitheater for events.
The park will be combined wit three bands of new office, retail and residential development stretching across the site. These bands will incorporate historic structures and transform the district into zones for large floorplate “new economy” industry, office-park courtyards and traditional office towers with retail plinths. Each band will have its own associated landscape typology. *text from architect

BEIRUT MUSEUM OF ART
A new hybrid – at once public and private, iconic and generic, large and small – WORKac’s design for the Beirut Museum of Art borrows from the modernist vernacular of the city to propose a more open model for the contemporary museum. The design rethinks the envelope of the museum using the balcony as a space for renewed architectural invention and openness. Traditionally, Beirut’s balconies provided shade as well as a mediating space between inside and outside, the street and the private house. For the museum, these reinvented balconies become a series of outdoor galleries in a multitude of scales and shapes, acting independently of the flexible museum floors inside, and creating a new gradient of publicly accessible spaces. *text from architect
ROLE: Originally designed for a competition in 2016, the project was updated in 2018 by request from the client.

Bay Adelaide North Tower 07/05/17
As the third and final tower of the Bay Adelaide Centre project, located downtown Toronto, the main task for this project was to improve the design flaws from the past towers. This involved developing numerous studies to present to the client. ROLE: My role included producing renders of the Level 11 roof terrace to show options of seating, canopy structure, and layout. The studies included canopy size + perforation size, canopy bay sizes, west screen wall material study and furniture studies. I was also tasked with developing washroom plans. This was especially difficult because the client wanted to have more fixtures in a smaller space than the past towers included.

05 NEWTOWN CO-OP HOUSING
Located in New York City, between Queens and Brooklyn, Newtown Creek has become an attraction amongst residents and tourist alike. The site is one of the most congested waterways in New York surrounded by industrial manufacturing buildings including some of the highest CO2 readings. Newtown Coop combines the need for an ecological approach to housing with new residents need for a working environment. The project focuses on scales of community, providing intimate units for times of seclusion and large gathering spaces for moments of interaction. This is to help encourage community involvement throughout the coop. The project focuses on providing temporary homes for people in transit - expats, refugees, international students, migrant
workers etc. There is an overwhelming amount of data suggesting the increased work ethic in these constituents, which is key for ensuring the coop program works efficiently. Focusing on the idea of “in transit” residents as well as considering the housing shortage in NYC, the units developed in this project are micro units. By decreasing each unit by 30% it allows for extra space. This space is given back with over double the requested number of units as well as extra community space to encourage social situations. Extra community spaces are given back through educational facilities, job centers, work spaces, community gardens, and generous amenity space. 1 and 2 bedroom units are provided and furnished to cater towards the “in transit” lifestyle.
The residential areas are designed to encourage interaction by providing excess circulation space. It is in these hallways that social situations will occur. The approach to this project is to develop two groups of towers: community towers and ecological towers. Each tower will act as a social hub, a job opportunity, and/or an energy source. This helps to encourage scales of community involvement. These towers work together to take advantage of heat waste, C02, water, and compost.

06 FLOATING MUSEUM
Entitled “Floating Museum,” this proposal for the home of the Toronto Story collection considers the museum within its larger urban context. By bridging into the proposed Rail Deck Park to the south and creating a series of strategic ground-level pedestrian connections, it functions at an infrastructural scale. With a design informed by Toronto’s existing finegrained urban grid, the project seeks to enrich Toronto’s cultural network, acting as a literal and conceptual threshold to adjacent public amenities, both existing and proposed. The Floating Museum design seeks to free up the ground plane, featuring a “hovering” two-storey museum and archival datum at the height of the Rail Deck with a continuous cantilevered perimeter. A central east-west pedestrian pathway divides the ground level into two campuses: the north exhibitionauditorium campus and south admin-
commercial campus. This pathway creates a connection between Victoria Memorial Park and the WELL’s proposed pedestrian promenade to the east. Combined with the below-soffit perimeter promenade, these pathways create a rich pedestrian network and interior-block plaza, allowing for animation of the courtyard as well as the commercial street front. Floating Museum’s structural strategy is based on minimum column placement and a structurally free perimeter. The museum level is suspended from a system of floor-height trusses that run through the archival level above. This hanging structural system is visible by means of a continuous atrium on the museum level that corresponds to the pedestrian promenade below. Because of this visibility, the museum and atrium levels function as structurally and curatorially integrated spaces.
The integration of Floating Museum’s architectural, structural, curatorial and environmental strategies ensures the comprehensive expression of the proposal’s central themes: ground-level lightness, vertical voids, infrastructural span, and “hovering.” By providing high quality public spaces and park connections, Floating Museum seeks to function as a new cultural hub for the city of Toronto.

07 CREATIVE CITY
The approach to the design of the rail deck park and the land immediately north of it came out of a shared interest in, as well as a skepticism about the efficacy of Richard Florida’s “Creative Class” theory and related notions of culture-based development. Looking back through a number of proposals put together by the Toronto Arts Council for a “Creative City Planning Framework,” as well as studies on the potential for Toronto to become a global leader in the knowledge industries from the University of Toronto’s Martin Prosperity Institute, an idea was developed about what the city needs right now, and how this park could present the opportunity to deliver it. This proposal is meant to foster and solidify the cultural identity of Toronto by designing a multi-disciplinary, professionally and demographically diverse district in the heart of the city.
The process began by accepting information from research in the first stage of this project, regarding the economic benefits of talent clustering– or bringing educated, highly talented workers in what Florida calls the creative class into close proximity to one another near city centers. This includes creatives in the sense of artists, designers, and musicians, but it also includes engineers, entrepreneurs, technology workers, and other people with ideas and generally progressive values. Our methodology for this project leaned heavily on four common values and goals. Those requirements are for an amenity rich environment, a strong support network, distinctive experiences, and a concentration of cultural institutions and facilities. Adapting a three-part formula for attracting culture-based development in the area, the
project recognizes that an area needs to have a cultural hub or incubator, spaces to showcase various expressions of creative production, and “sites of memory” that create strong geographic identity. These overlapping lists of imperatives led to the decision about 4 primary constituencies that would direct the ideas about development on the site. The site is a unique situation where the park is located overtop of the raildeck, creating an issue in grade change with the existing infrastructure and a specific landscaping strategy University of Toronto, Fall 2016 Design Studio III: Super Studio PARTNER: Graham Schwitzer, Nicholas Reddon ADVISORS: Dina Sarhane

08 DUBAI PUBLIC LIBRARY
Amongst a city of skyscrapers, the proposed Dubai Central Library provides cultural character that is rare in the tourist-oriented city. Located in the business district of one of the Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest cities, the library acts as a beacon, drawing in members of the community and introducing them to an environment that contributes to the civic identity of a foreign culture and place. The design of the library takes inspiration from various traditional components of Dubai architecture. The elevation was designed to mimic an open book and the decision to raise one end of the mass was derived from the original Arabic Library: introducing a spire to act as a visual focal point. Located at the base of the Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tallest building, this focal point is necessary to encourage traffic through the site. Screens also feature traditional
Dubai architecture, utilizing the 3 essential shapes in the construction of a minaret: the circle, the square, and the hexagon. These screens provide a cultural aspect to the building, while working congruently as a passive cooling system. The strategy of the project was to divide the building into two parts, separating the major programs: the auditorium and the library. To bridge the two programs a covered courtyard is introduced, providing a social platform for the public. Inside the main program, a central atrium allows natural light to flood the public library stacks, creating circulation around the delicate glass structure. The main literary collection is located on level 2 and as the user ascends, the program becomes more specific. Meeting rooms, study rooms, and work tables surround the perimeter allowing for desired views into
the atrium. This project provides relief from the consumerism typically found in Dubai by creating a social environment that celebrates traditional architecture while fostering education and research.
