> DELAWARE NATION PAVILION

0.11

The Delaware Nations, who own the land on which the pavilion is situated, have been wronged, persecuted and abused historically. This is not a singular phenomenon; Indigenous Canadians nation-wide have felt a similar persecution since the time their land was taken. Even our Prime Minister has acknowledged the need for greater remediation efforts in this context. Indigenous Canadians continue to be sidelined, and the time has come for Canadians to acknowledge their wrong doings, both socially and politically. The theme of water presented us with our opportunity to make a symbolic statement, using ecological filtration as a symbol for the acknowledgement and remediation of the wrong-doings of past generations. Cultural remediation is made possible by the island pavilion which will become a learning centre and meeting space for indigenous culture and spirituality. It will serve to highlight the rich culture that has been forgotten, and which our lives have been built on. Paired with this physical manifestation of remediation is our symbolic gesture, a water purification system which cleans the river to provide a clean, tranquil pool, and a source of potable water for visitors and the community.

The gabion walls which cross the river will house filters and flow control mechanisms, and provide separation between the turbulent dirty river, the marshes which will clean it, and the pristine pool beyond. The spiritual significance of water in first nations spir-ituality, paired with the amenity it provides to the site will prove to be a thoughtful and compassionate gesture. During the summer the water will be clean and calm enough for any-one to comfortably swim, float, or dip their feet. Meanwhile the winter will provide a small smooth surface for pick up hockey, or casual skating.

> PHOTOGRAPHERS HOUSE

The proposed design is tailored to a family of fine art / studio photographers who shoot exclusively in 35 mm and medium format film. The husband and wife are currently focused on developing a fine art photography gallery while continuing to run a small business in portrait and studio photography. Their teenage son intends on attending the University of Ryerson within the next two years to follow in his parents' footsteps. The proposal aims to blur the line between dedicated living and working spaces, which are typically segregated. The main design focus is placed in the use of a dark room which is the source of the client's livelihood. This space is placed in an unconventional location within the design which defines it as a major component of the architectural expression both materially and tectonically. Program elements are examined volumetrically and are located in a way that alters the inhabitants' exposure to views both on the interior and exterior.

> Wood in Apocalyptica is intended to be simple and austere; reminiscent of the rural Finnish vernacular to remind the international band of their home. The simplicity of the nominal wood construction is contrasted with the autonomous object that is the recording studio- consciously placing it in view in the lobby space as an object to influence spatial experience.

> In order to align with the band's progressive views and thinking in the music industry, the design had to take on a similar view towards progressive architecture. To achieve this, the main focus became environmental sustainability, focusing in on solar heat gain as well as an efficient building envelope. Choosing to use pine as a main material draws parallels between timber framed construction projects in Helsinki and Toronto. Also it is a readily and locally sourced material in both locations. The location of the studio had to be very specific in its selection to produce the right atmosphere for musical genius. The site selection was clear when confronted with the long southern exposure in a neighborhood zoned for regeneration.

The neutral backdrop of the industrial context prompted an exploration into the application of raw untreated materials on a familiar form. The simplicity of the extruded form was utilized to compliment the simplicity of its surroundings and also to emphasize less conventional interiors.
