Orientation
East Light
The corner condition is acknowledged with a change in axis to face the recreational grounds to its east and Drake hotel to the north across Queen St West.
A series of verticles louvres filters the harsh light entering the reading spaces.
Interior & Exterior
West Light
The extension of the ground floor to the east creates both a cafe space for the greens-cape as well as an outdoor balcony for readers to enjoy during the summer months
The north wall fans outward to create views in the westward direction toward the Parkdale neighbourhood as well as allowing evening light to enter the building.

Tiering onto Street-scape
Emphasis on context
The tiering of masses and interior spaces onto the street scape simultaneously connects people and emphasizes specific program. The masses gradually lower in height in order to provide a transition from the taller building on the west to the post office on the east.
Various facades of the building are angled towards important aspects of the site - Queen St. West and the green space that is an extension of Lisgar Park.
Circulation + Light
Emphasis on Library
In order to bring light into the spaces and have clear circulation, a central atrium connects the masses.
The atrium then slants towards the stacks in the library to give emphasis and connect people across floors.

The museum is designed to house the artwork of one artist. Brian Jungen blends his aboriginal background with modern culture through the sculptural pieces of varying sizes. Brian’s approach requires taking apart everyday recognizable items and rearranging them together to create things such as tribal masks, drums, totem poles, etc. The act of reusing pre-fabricated products is derives from Aboriginals lack of waste in anything they use in nature.
The concrete form of the museum rips apart in the middle to allow the green spaces to be visually connected through a transparent vestibule. The rips in the facade create peeks into the spaces developing curiosity in those passing by. Then to further maintain the connection of green spaces around the site, the museum offers an accessible green-roof to make up for the space taken up by the building’s footprint

The idea is a result of reacting against the high-rise condos surrounding the site. Adjacent to building are repetitive historic Victorian houses. With this in mind, the form contrasts the large masses and repetitive features and represents a sense of lightness and unity. The elongated site also allows for a more spacious program with the entire south facade of the cafe transparent to accept as much natural ambient light as possible. The double storey residential portion above is pushed to the front of the lot to match with the existing Victorian homes and complete the street.

Interaction
A Moment in Time and Space The At Home project is designed to house 12 scholars with their spouse and/or families for a period of 1 year. Additional units were made to accommodate 2 guests and the building owner. A library and communal study spaces allow for the scholars to conduct their research while they stay. The event space is designed as a space where the local community and the residents can interact with one another.
The concept driving the design is the idea of people coming from all over the world to this one location. In the short, period of the year, their lives will interact with one another before going away and possibly never all being together again. This aspect of coming and going from and to everywhere is what assisted formally organizing the program. The blocks are made to overlap and intersect to create overhangs and balconies and communal lounges.

Competitions
TIMBERFEVER 2018 3 day design-build competition consisting of teams of 5 with students from all over Canada. Includes a mix of civil engineering and architecture students in their 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th year.
Melting Iceberg Team: (from right) Nicholas Justin, Laila Mourad, Sara Rosa, Mapendo Ngilinga de Carvalho
1st
Melting iceberg is a water station designed to raise awareness on rising sea levels due to the warming of our planet. The structure represents a glacier on which either side has a spot to dispense water for anyone looking to fill up their water bottles. While doing so we encourage pedestrians to become more conscious of our use of fresh water. Construction of the parket using a series of cross braced diamonds sandwiched together made the entire system rigid and capable of any wear and tear it may receive on King St.

Team: Soma Khan and Raymin Sidhar (3rd Year)
The competition is held by RAIC Emerging Practitioners Commitiee. The theme is to envision what is the future of public engagement in architecture. As a team we came to an idea that revolves around hyper-realistic VR that allows one to able to experience environments with all the 5 senses of the body. This would allows anyone regardless of where they are located to be able to work on and provide genuine input in the architectural process. The open ended competition let us explore abstract ways of representing our vision for the future of architecture
Our submission qualified into the top ten shortlist.

Urban Curtain
Team: Caleb Culmone (3rd year), Giuseppe Scarola (2nd year) , and Noah Spivak (1st year)
The competition was held by CCA (Canadian Centre for Architecture). The challenge comes down to repurposing areas in the city that have been neglected, vacant areas into vibrant spaces for communities to thrive. In the 4 days we’re given to complete the competition, we came up with a vertical green laneway that can be applied in dense urban contexts. The structure can be easily superimposed and scaled accordingly on existing facades and alleyways of buildings. 3 uniques spaces are a created as a result: landscapes, public markets, and public space. The entire system is modular constructed with recycled aluminum piping.
Our submission won Third Place from over 40 entrees.

Horizontal-Vertical Lane Way Diagram
In developing the appropriate design, combining the form of structural scaffolding and the function of the lane way aided in constructing the foundation of a vertical community. The scaffold supports the modular greenhouses, as well as creates spaces on the ground floor for shops and bars.
Feature parti showcases how the new applied skin acts as an active green wall, absorbing light and regulating the temperature in the area.
Essentially the design consists of taking a horizontal urban setting and making it a vertical experience. Adding volume and stacking the lane way establishes vertical space. Minimizing the depth of the space transforms it into the second skin.

Construction Documents
Special Drawing: Staggered Terracotta Exploded Axonometric
Construction documents were prepared in teams of 5 using one of the students projects for the duration of the term. Drawings were split up evenly but there was a requirement for each of us to produce a unique drawing for the 100% submission. Using existing details as reference the staggered terracotta roof detail was enxplanded upon to show the floor below the roof and its finishes as well.
