Introduction | Dr. Brian R. Sinclair Reflections on a Human Rights Architecture Studio “Consciousness is the guarantor of all we hold to be human and precious. Its permanent loss is considered equivalent to death, even if the body persists in its vital signs.”i (Edelman, 2004) “The longer one listened to him, the more obvious it became that his inability to speak was closely connected with the inability to think, namely, to think from the standpoint of somebody else. No communication was possible with him, not because he lied but because he was surrounded by the most reliable of all safeguards against the world and the presence of others, and hence against reality as such.” ii (Hannah Arendt 1977) Pursuing a graduate accredited degree in the field of architecture is difficult and demanding yet filled with excitement, opportunity and possibility. Through the Winter 2021 semester I had the pleasure and privilege to guide a group of 14 clever and curious architecture students in a deep and meaningful exploration into the intersection of design and human rights. The subject of human rights is complex, at times confusing, yet always vital and worthy. This past year we have seen remarkable struggles + obstacles, yet we have witnessed extraordinary strides + opportunities. Students selected to senior research studio W2021

participate in this timely elective studio all had a passion and commitment for people-centric design. One chief goal of the studio was to advance students’ professional competency and technical knowledge – obviously crucial in an accredited school of architecture. That said, technical know-how and professional acumen alone was inadequate. Issues of human rights have tremendous weight, in part due to the consequences witnessed in societies when such rights fall to the wayside. My annual Human Rights Senior Research


Studio had its genesis in a Keynote Address I developed for and delivered at a prominent interdisciplinary conference in Germany in the summer of 2019. The title of that paper, ‘The Devil’s Crop’, captures and conveys the tough place we as a civilization find ourselves in our contemporary times. I believe a part of the mandate of educating students in architecture involves not only instilling technical knowledge but also ensuring exposure to and grappling with perplexing societal issues. Students in this senior studio began their learning journey through intense immersion in research into human rights. These investigations, for all students, included a deep dive into the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Each student worked through this pivotal United Nations document with a critical mind – charged with selecting key rights that resonated with their interests within the studio. Each student identified a unique set of rights that they wanted to pursue within the domain of architecture-for example, the right to shelter, or the right to happiness, or the right to education, or the right to free speech, etc. Students were required to present their research to the class, basically

teaching all of us about their chosen rights and expanding on some positive implications inherent to these rights (or, in a negative sense, the dire consequences that can arise when the rights are denied). Each student crafted their own position with respect to their chosen rights, delineating aspects of these rights tied together by an overarching purpose for their architecture project – for example, advancing the rights of children, addressing hate crimes, or reversing the damage rendered by climate change. Studio projects were all individually executed – with designs developed, detailed and delineated for a single project from the opening of the semester to its close. Departing from the structure of many architecture studios, in the human rights studio both the program and the site selection were at the discretion of each student. Programs were developed based on each student’s selected human rights and overarching theme. All projects needed to be in the range of 5000 M2. Students were asked to consider a spectrum of possible sites in and around Calgary’s urban core. Potential sites were visited, photographed,

analyzed then presented to the class. Following from feedback arising in these presentation sessions each student then determined their site and proceeded to comprehensively analyze based on history, climate, sun path, winds, zoning, transportation and many other dimensions. The studio had three phases, each approximately one month in duration: conceptual design, design development, followed by refinement/communication. Phase Reviews, in light of the ongoing pandemic, were held virtually via Zoom -- Conceptual Design Reviews at the offices of Lemay Architects, Design Development Reviews comprised of three designers from the profession and academy, and Final Reviews (with four jury members) culminating an amazing threemonth journey. Juries for each review were comprised of leading architects, interior designers, contractors, and other professionals with rich experience and deep expertise. For the Conceptual Design phase each student prepared a parti (philosophical construct) as well as a 1:200 massing model and an array of conventional architectural drawings + diagrams. For the Design Development phase students advanced the previous deliverables while also preparing a 1:100 architectural model (fragment) that explored a key quality their project sectionally and experientially. The Final Phase saw adjustments and improvements to all deliverables, including the updating of the two physical models, based on lessons learned, knowledge acquired, and refinements realized. A long-standing feature of my pedagogical approach to studio is to have students craft beautiful wooden models that run in concert with advanced computer modelling and visualization. The import of both analog and digital in my studio is, historically, intentional and provocative – it allows students to examine and advance the strengths of various senior research studio W2021

media, and to consider their complementarity as key to communicating their design ideas. Without question the health crisis impacted the ability to work in detail with wood -- however students were innovative in deploying an array of materials to realize compelling design study models despite levels of lockdown. You will see in the projects in this book the creativity students exercised in the execution of project deliverables – understanding that the path is every bit as valuable as the destination within my architecture studio. The gravity of the arrival of the novel coronavirus to North America (and, of course, the world beyond) turned many things upside down, including design studio and design pedagogy. Societal reactions, including in Canada, translated into new ways of functioning. Social distancing and self-isolation challenge the very social and very interactive means and methods of architecture education. University buildings, studios and workshops remain closed. The students’ ‘new normal’ was defined by quiet dorm rooms, family homes, and lonely apartments with only the vehicle of zoom to reach out and connect beyond. As a seasoned studio professor, I have always held confidence that my students can cope and adapt to unforeseen impediments, including the dramatic shift from physical to digital realities. The experience of our digital studio demonstrated that students were committed, busy and productive in all studio phases notwithstanding Covid-19’s influence on daily life. In fact, student efforts, culminating in beautiful, functional and successful solutions, were always inspiring and impressive. Throughout the semester we regularly met as a group, as well as holding weekly 1:1 digital desk crits. Design conversations were always


effective and exciting. In individual and class chats we talked about design, human rights, our new mode of operating, and best practices to move forward. Indicative of the new reality, we held workshops virtually addressing Human Rights - for example, a remarkably rich and insightful guest lecture and dialogue with Architect Graeme Bristol, founder of the Center for Architecture and Human Rights. We also held an informative Landscape Architecture workshop with leading designer George Harris of the George Harris Collaborative. These are but a few of many wonderful activities illustrating the resolve and dedication of educators and students when confronted

with unprecedented challenges. We tested equipment, held review rehearsals, refined design, considered renderings, photographed models, and imagined possibilities. Each student pushed ahead with improving their projects, customizing both visual and verbal aspects of their presentations for optimal delivery in a virtual mode. As the Human Rights design course professor my responsibility was to ensure the virtual experience of my students was rich and rewarding, especially considering my studio would be their final along a daunting multi-year pathway in the Master of Architecture degree

program. On a positive note, I was able to assemble a remarkable final review team, comprised of leading architects from across Canada. In a marathon session our April 21st, 2021 final reviews played out over more than 10 hours. All the student presentations were delivered with tremendous professionalism and with (almost) no technical problems. The conclusion of our journey along the path of human rights ended strong, pointing to a promising future that is fairer and more just than today. In conclusion, my Human Rights Studio journey, taken over the Winter 2021 term with 14 exceptionally dedicated, talented and passionate graduate architecture students, has

senior research studio W2021

been thought-provoking, rewarding, humbling and inspiring. It has demonstrated the remarkable strength of the human spirit and the impressive robustness of creative people faced with high hurdles and big barriers. The studio projects contained in this publication reveal a diverse array of design approaches taken, human rights issues examined, and architecture potency achieved. The work is impressive in its innovations, moving in its provocations, and exciting in its delicate balance of form and function, pragmatics and poetics, science and art. Kudos to my students!

Flourish Alea Reid Neurodiversity refers to the idea that neurological differences, such as autism or ADHD, reflect normal variations in brain development and should be respected and supported, rather than pathologized. Flourish’s goal is to create a space for cognitive pluralism, support of education and employment, and cultural and social engagement. The primary user is neurodivergent children and youth with a secondary user as the families of neurodivergent children, neurodiversity advocates, and lastly the general public of youth to prevent community segregation. Challenges with social interactions, communication, repetitive behaviour, and sensory input regulation are supported through designing towards the 7 senses: sight, touch, sound, smell, taste, vestibular, proprioception; and Madga Mostifa’s ASD Index Principles: Acoustics, Spatial sequencing, escape, compartmentalization, transition space, sensory zoning, and safety. senior research studio W2021

Liminal Labs Calvin Stuka The Universal Declaration of Rights states that all humans have the right to life, and the right to a quality of life that ensures health and well-being. Environmental degradation threatens these rights and to address these problems, humans need to feel that they are connected to nature and the larger natural systems that support them. Liminal Labs is an international, collaborative laboratory space for researching the causes and solutions to the current climate crisis. Incorporated into an interstitial space within the city, it highlights and offers solutions to some of the pressing climate issues we all face today. My hope for this project is for people to realize that as part of the larger world we have to be part of the solution.

AWAKA Destiny Kirumira AWAKA is a contemporary Black Cultural Centre in Downtown Calgary. The term Awaka means “at home” in Luganda. It hopes to create a safe and welcoming place for Black Calgarians and their visitors and guests. The main purpose of the Centre is to facilitate the breaking down of barriers for Black Calgarians and reveal and reflect a diverse set of Black identities and experiences. The Centre includes two Black Art Galleries, a Youth Centre, Language and Artifact Lab, and Therapeutic services for individuals dealing with trauma from anti-Black racism. Finally, AWAKA aims to build a future that is focused on the protection, advancement, and expression of Black Calgarians. The project truly attempts to embrace the contemporary experiences of Black folx in the public realm, then using them to confront and shatter the constraints of white supremacy within the white landscape.

Human Rights

Centre for Memorial & Education Dexter Zhenshi Lu “H U Á” is the Roman spelling of the Chinese character “ 華 “, which essentially means “China” or “the Chinese people”. As these three letters represent, this project is dedicated to the under-recognized history of the Chinese immigrants’ human rights struggles during & after the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The systematic racism & widespread discrimination they had experienced were simply degrading. But ultimately, they just wanted their seat at the table. The project features a memorial space and a learning centre that celebrates, promotes, and conducts research on the cultural heritage of immigrant communities, as well as provides professional assistance for victims of racial discrimination. With the vision of a beacon for human rights in downtown Calgary, the Centre aims at celebrating heritage from the Chinese immigrant community and other visible minorities, and an urban revitalization along CP Rail. senior research studio W2021

Parti - “A Seat at the Table”

“The racism Chinese people faced was widespread. Many newspapers & illustrations of the time portrayed Chinese people in a very hostile and degrading way.”

“Asians were the underclass in Canadian society with few rights and no power. They were not allowed to become citizens.”

UDHR Article 02

“Chinese workers were paid $1 a day & had to pay for all their food & gear, while white workers were paid $1.5-$2.5 per day & did not have to pay for their provisions.”

UDHR Article 07

“... landslides and dynamite blasts that killed many workers, not to mention the toll from other workrelated accidents, winter cold, illness, and malnutrition. ”

Refuge Gurkaran Dhaliwal The project explores the refugee crisis and its effects on the displaced people. It aims to provide refugees with transitional spaces into their host countries and providing them with the tools to integrate socially and economically into the city. The center acts in three conditions, one to provide services straight to the refuges and assist them with their needs, second, an advocacy component which provides a space for policy change and dialog surround these global issues, and third a public component which provides knowledge and art to help people understand the global conditions and the importance of extending a helping hand. By inserting such art, culture, advocacy, and services the center becomes a hub for refugee crises, It spreads awareness in addition to giving a private and comfortable space for refugees.

Homelessness Human Rights Centr Joshua TeBokkel Homelessness is a human rights crisis. For architecture to act as an engine to disseminate human rights, it needs to insert the stories of, and space for, marginalized and vulnerable people into major city conversations – the civic, cultural, social, and educational centers of the city. This model uses lightness, transparencies, circulation, and flexibility, to define a spectrum of spaces that respond to the complexities of homelessness and creates opportunities for community interaction – with human rights, with their city, and with each other. The architecture breaks down exclusive typologies and embraces the street with a permeable facade and carves out spaces for people to exist freely in their city. In short, it needs to tell stories, connect with communities, support vulnerable people, break down barriers and stigmas, and become a platform for advocacy and change. senior research studio W2021

Article Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being

25

of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.

Homelessness violates the UDHR in article 25 - the right to housing. However, homelessness is a broad topic and intersects several other human rights articles. Fundamentally in article 02 and 03, but also extending into articles 07 and 09 dealing with equal access to the law, 21 dealing with public services, 23 and 24 dealing with work, 26 dealing with education, and 27 with cultural life. When you begin to examine homelessness and poverty in more detail, it becomes clear that allowing homelessness to exist violates many basic human rights.

Ayo Joy Olagoke The centre addresses happiness and mental health. Happiness is a journey, it exists in different forms and is impacted by varied lived experiences. So, the centre offers physical, social, and psychological spaces to elevate one’s happiness and wellbeing. Inside, a greenhouse with semi-automated carousels allows people to find purpose and community through gardening and harvesting for the community. “Mindful eating can cultivate seeds of compassion and understanding, those seeds can sprout and grow inside us, and give us the determination to do something and help hungry.” - Thich Nhat Hanh. The first article of the human rights declaration was my main inspiration for this project: “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.” Ayo means joy in Yoruba. senior research studio W2021

Sightless Dialogue: C Blind and Visually Imp Kylene Dupuis The practice of architecture and design has been shaped into a dominantly visual phenomenon. As generally sighted people, designers primarily rely on vision and rarely consider how space may be experienced if it went unseen. Visually impaired or blind individuals often find themselves pushed to the outskirts of society where they are deprived of experiencing life to the fullest. The solution for inclusive design is much more complex than simply implementing tactile sidewalks and audible signals. Sightless Dialogue strives to accomplish an experience where the building communicates with the users through non-visual means. The centre serves as an educational institute for the specialized learning of the visually impaired and a resource facility to teach the public about the exclusion and difficulties and that non-sighted people face in everyday life. senior research studio W2021

REERA EDUCATIONAL MEM Mojdeh Kamali Hate crime and Hate Incidents are human rights violations because they undermine “the right to life”, the equal protection by law”, and “fair equality to a fair and public hearing”. Reera Educational Memorial creates a foundation for victims of hate crime and hate incidents to go back to society with confidence, appropriate support, and new hope. In short “We are all born with the capacity for aggression as well as compassion. Which tendencies we embrace require mindful choice by individuals, families, communities, and our culture in general. The key to overcoming hate is education: at home, in schools, and the community. In other words, compassion towards others is the true context that heals.” (Abrams, 2017)

The Alchemist Vikram Johal Alchemy is defined as the seemingly magical process of transformation, creation, or combination. Alchemists were said to be able to connect to the elements and perform these magical feats such as turning lead into gold. Inspired by this practice, this facility focuses on the troubled and highrisk youth of our society. A large percentage of the youth suffer from some sort of mental challenges or trauma, while very few get the support needed during this important stage of development in their lives. Situated within the hillside of Tom Campbell Hill in Bridgeland, this facility takes a holistic approach in both healing and nourishing highrisk youth mentally, physically and spiritually during development. It connects the youth to the essential elements and allows them to learn from and transform their surroundings with the intent of essentially transforming themselves. In a sense, becoming an Alchemist. senior research studio W2021

Rebuild Memory Xuefei Wang Application of Collective Trauma Therapy in Architecture: The project is aiming for exploring the application of the architectural methodology to the treatment of collective trauma, through the reconstruction of events and collective self to achieve the recovery of collective trauma. The building will be divided into “temporary space”, for assisting the collective trauma therapy, and “permanent space”, for accomodating the basic functions. Based on the strategy of “respect, rebuild and recovery”, three parts of temporary space will form a progressive treatment route, and will be plugged-in in stages to create a panoramic environment for trauma therapy such as sound, light, privacy, group support, and exposure therapy. The appliance of temporary space provides a universal possibility for the treatment of different collective trauma. senior research studio W2021

One Roof: GBV Support Centre Yagmur Yurtbulmus Gender-based violence (GBV) is committed against someone based on their gender identity and victims of these harassments are usually sexual minorities such as women and LGBTQ+ persons in the society. The purpose of One Roof is to raise awareness of gender-based violence and act as a physically safe space in Downtown Calgary, where each individual can comfortably express their sexual orientation and receive specialised support without discrimination. The typical system of reporting violence, if it does not meet the threshold of criminal behaviour, has multiple steps and the individual seeking help needs to explain what they have gone through over and over again to different people at different locations, therefore this process can be overwhelming. The inclusive system the centre offers has all these services under one roof, such as social activism, advocacy, legal help, education, medical healthcare, and mental health support. senior research studio W2021

Alea Reid Alea achieved her BID from Ryerson School of Interior Design, where she explored working along with other disciplines and within various fields from corporate design to theme parks with Universal Studios. There the fire started for her passion to tell stories through design both to and for those experiencing it. Alea’s diverse background and experiences have created the foundation for her continual desire to blur the boundaries in the realm of design. She finds excitement in the curation of relationships within a project, from the minute scale of a texture in her hand-crafted ceramics to the entirety of the landscape’s space. She also shares a passion for ceramics, mountain hiking, biking, kayaking, coffee brewing, and Netflix binging.


Brennan Black

Calvin Stuka

Destiny Kirumira

Brennan Black lives in Edmonton, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and a Red Seal as a Journeyman Carpenter. His interests are broad but galvanize around the potential that architecture holds to catalyze regenerative physical and social landscapes. Brennan has deep roots in skateboarding and after 25 years he still finds it endlessly fascinating. He is happiest when reading or spending time outdoors with his wife and son.

Calvin was born and raised in rural Alberta. After earning his BSc in animal biology, he worked in animal care for 14 years, most recently as a zookeeper. His interest in architectural design stems from his assessment of animal enclosures he has worked in, and the massive shift within the industry from display to conservation, and the changes that shift necessitates in the design of animal enclosures. He is also very interested in the relationship between humans & the environment, systems thinking, and the circular economy model. He hopes to use all these concepts to create truly holistic, sustainable designs.

Destiny Kirumira was born in Germany to parents from Uganda, and would later on move to Canada. After receiving a BA in Mathematics and Physics from the University of Alberta (U of A) in 2018, she has continued her studies at the University of Calgary in a Master of Architecture. Destiny is also a Black visual artist who attempts to uproot and reconcile the roots of racism in both fields and does so rigorously. Ultimately, all her work poses questions surrounding race, gender, and politics to enlighten those of us who have chosen to turn a blind eye to the world’s most grotesque injustices.

Dexter Zhenshi Lu

Gurkaran Dhaliwal

Joshua TeBokkel

Born & raised in China, Dexter’s quest for constant refinement in his architecture pursuit has always been nurtured in the rich & profound Chinese culture; meanwhile, being an international student in Canada, he also resonates greatly with the “minorities”. Therefore, advocating social justice & equality through careful, humane & compassionate design approaches has been his major agenda ever since joining the School of Architecture. Dexter also strongly believes in design as a powerful tool – communities, neighbourhoods, cities, societies can be shaped towards a better future with better designs. Thus, he is always on the road, pushing boundaries & breaking routines – parce que c’est la vie, la vie d’architecture.

Gurkaran Dhaliwal holds an undergraduate bachelor’s degree in Urban Planning from the University of Calgary (2019), in addition to an Architectural Technologist diploma from Southern Polytechnic Institute of Alberta (2016). He started the Masters in Architecture Program at the School of Architecture, Planning, and Landscape in 2019. He has an interest in combining design and creative disciplines such as fashion, music production, videography, and architecture to create a full experience for the endusers. His goal is to provide an interactive space that sparks curiosity and emotion.

Josh’s interest in craftsmanship, from watercolour painting to entomology pinning to bike-repair, coupled with his explorations of the vernacular styles, roots of modernism, classics of Italy and Greece, and diverse ecosystems of western Europe, has driven him toward architecture as the field to try and unite aesthetic theory, technological and environmental practice, and human experience. These goals motivated his Advanced Diploma in Architectural Technology, Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Architecture, design work at several architectural and engineering firms in Canada and abroad, and now a Master of Architecture, over the course of the last decade.

Kylene was born and raised in Windsor, Ontario. She grew up using construction sites as playgrounds, learning the trades, and realizing her fascination in building design at a very early age. With her passion for art, woodworking, construction, and social change, she found architecture to be the perfect fit for her. After receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Arts from the University of Windsor in 2018 and a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Detroit Mercy in 2019, Kylene moved to Calgary to pursue her Master of Architecture degree at the University of Calgary.

Mojdeh fled to Canada to follow her passion in Architecture in 2017.Her path in Architecture began with her curiosity in the role of design and architecture in shaping public spaces in Tehran and gradually turned into her final decision for pursuing a master’s of architecture at SAPL. Her projects aim to create a foundation for everyone to help them become a better version of themselves and bring the community together. Hence, she joined Dr.Sinclair’s Human Rights Studio to pursue her project “The Institution for Victims of Hate Incidents and Hate Crime.”

Joy is passionate about design ethics and architecture’s ability to help heal. Recently, she co-founded Advocates for Equitable in Design Education (aede.ca/)
