RAIL DECK
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 culturebased 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.

INFRASTRUCTURE
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.
Work in Collaboration with Nicholas Reddon + Graham Schwitzer
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

CEILING SCREEN To provide shade, the glass canopy is covered with a screen. The design of the screen is based off of the 3 shapes used in original Dubai libraries: the minaret.
GLASS CANOPY the glass canopy covers the courtyard and continues into the library connecting to the structure of the entrance
FOLDED ROOF the varying wall heights create folds in the roof structure, with the glass canopy protruding through
VARYING WALLS the height of the walls vary, creating an elegant elevation with the highest point acting as a beacon at the NE entrance
GLASS ATRIUM the building incorporates 2 masses - 1 interior, 1 exterior - into a fluid glazing system that allows light into the building
PROTECTIVE SCREEN to provide protection from the sun, screens are introduced over the exterior glass facade
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.
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 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
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.

AXO OF BUILDING STRUCTURE
The town of Long Sault, Ontario experienced a displacement when the St. Lawrence River was flooded to allow easier boat access. This resulted in several houses having to be buried, moved or destroyed. This site became known as the Lost Villages, containing a collection of houses from 8 towns that were displaced. The site, located along the St. Lawrence River currently consists of 10 heritage buildings that were moved and restored. However, these buildings are spread over the large site, with no obvious reasoning or arrangement.

Photoshop Illustrator inDesign
The proposed museum provides more organization and rhythm to the site, curating an experience under one roof. By rearranging the buildings into chronological order, it allows visitors to understand the timeline of the different architypes. Each building on the site has its own unique architectural typology. Each individual building is framed by the museum, mimicking the existing roofline. This creates a visual and literal connection between the historic buildings and the new proposed museum.
The back facades are removed on each building to allow for them to act as exhibition rooms within the museum. These removed facades are then re purposed throughout the museum. In addition to the museum program, 5 residences are proposed on site to house artists. The typology of these houses are live-work units, with their design parti being a mirror of the museum. Similarly to the museum program, the focus of the residences was on the roof shape. This shape was derived from mirroring and inverting the roofline of the museum.

ACCESS
ZONES
the design objective is to transition from figure to fabric as you enter into the site
STRATEGY
there are 4 separate buildings located on the site , each serving a different typology
the site is unique with 4 different zones, it was necessary to re zone part of the site to gain more height
TYPOLOGY
with amenities located on all sides of the site, access through the site was necessary
Working in pairs, the project scope was to design a multi-unit residential building in an urban context of Old Ottawa East. After a 2-week site and neighbourhood analysis, an overall site strategy was developed accommodating the diverse range of typologies, lifestyles, and income found in the area. Both mixed-use dwellings targeting families and a high-rise condo targeting young professionals were developed. Our focus quickly became the revival of existing green spaces into socially active spaces. A master plan that transitions from fabric to figure as you enter the site allows for the integration of the buildings into the existing urban form. Revit Rhino AutoCAD
Photoshop Illustrator inDesign
This project, designed individually after the completion of the master plan, focuses on the high-rise condo and concept of integration between the built form and the site. The project explores the idea of bringing green space to residential areas by incorporating green terraces in the high-rise condo. The organic terraces create a seamless transition from built form to nature. The form, reflecting the concept of the site, begins with orthogonal lines and transitions from figure to fabric integrating the natural form into the building.
To encourage use of the green spaces provided, pedestrian pathways are introduced. These pathways allow for access through the site from both the x and y-axis. A large social platform is introduced at the base of the condo in the form of a public plaza. The project emphasizes the integration of nature and residential living while encouraging social activity amongst green areas.

Based on Richard Wagner’s 1856 opera, Die Walkure, we composed a set design responding to Act 1 Scene 1 focusing on the symbolism of the ash tree. The scene begins with Siegmund, wounded and weaponless, taking shelter from a storm in a stranger’s home. The home has a large ash tree located precisely in the middle of the house, with a sword stuck in it. The sword was placed there on Hunding and Sieflinde’s wedding day and no one has been able to remove

it. Tension arises in the house between Siegmund and Hunding, resulting in a fight over Hundings wife. Siegmund, overcome with love, vows to protect Sieflinde and removes the sword from the tree, naming it Notung (Need). Siegmund and Sieflinde run off into the forest together.
Seeing the tree as an important symbol of the opera’s narrative of adventure, family love, death and revenge, we decided to highlight the element. By creating a forest of trees, it introduces voids and gaps in the structure, allowing for every angle to have a different perspective of the set.

Working with a small team, we coordinated with Deloitte’s in-house interiors team for the production of an interior fit-out at the new downtown Toronto headquarters. The project consisted of 19 floors of flexible communal work spaces, designed to encourage collaboration and social interaction. The 7-storey atrium is a focal point of design, with a large, LED-illuminated, feature stair. The stairwell connects office space to Deloitte University, a space dedicated to for employees and clients to learn from

each other through seminars and workshops. The intention was to design the space as a welcoming lounge that does not have the feeling of a corporate office. This was achieved by continuing a “Canadian theme” throughout the lounge, introducing warm, wooden floors and fireplaces. The building has 18 types variations of flexible workspace, from treadmill spaces, to a rooftop patio.
