It is my pleasure to attach this statement of interest supplementary document as a part of my application to the Architecture Graduate program at Ryerson University.

During my fourth year of study at Ryerson University I became particularly interested in the effect of public transportation, its effi ciency from an environmental perspective, effect on urbanization and transit architecture and the language in which it can communicate the concept identity of a city.

My thesis project was focused on the design of a terminal train station in the historic city of Palmyra in Syria. The topic was chosen to propose a complementary architectural and identifi able element to the offi cial railway line plans of the government of Syria to connect Palmyra to both Damascus and Homs. The project’s premise is to create an incentive for tourists to visit the otherwise isolated city and in turn help it economic health.

The design process demanded particular attention to concepts of expandability, modularity, materiality, constructability and the fusion of these ideas with the concept of feasibility in a grand scale as a part of a large and complex infrastructure project. Because of its unique location in a heritage city, the design was treated as mean to revive the forgotten character of the city, an end node to the ancient Silk Road and once an economic hotspot. This revitalization effort however needs to root itself in the existing culture and draw life and fl ourish from a community it helped create.

My interest in infrastructure projects and the experience I had acquired during the design process of my forth year thesis project, and more particularly transit architecture assisted me in obtaining a position as a junior architectural designer at SGA / IBI Group shortly after the completion of my undergraduate studies in Architectural Science at Ryerson University in 2010. SGA/IBI specializes in transit architectural projects both local and abroad. Since my employment and throughout the years I have been exposed to a variety of transit projects such as the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (LRT) and Hamilton Station Stops whose design process involved an integration of concepts of mass customization, serviceability, materiality, sustainability, constructability, aesthetics and identity as well as relationship to particular contexts and communities. In addition to my specifi c experience in transit architecture, my involvement in the Waterloo King-Victoria masterplan project has provided me with knowledge and experience in urban development, master planning projects and their relationship to the identity of a community and city.

For these reasons it is my intention to continue along this path and further my skills and knowledge in the area of transit architecture in urban contexts. My Masters of Architecture thesis research area shall focus on topics of emerging technologies and global and local communities. During my research I intend to identify and introduce new ideas to contribute potential ideas and perspectives to some of the challenges designers are faced with from economic and feasibility standpoints.

Sincerely,

Bijan Ghazizadeh (B.Arch.Sci)iiiiii

I see architecture as a visionary design practice of creating systematic and opti-mized spaces. Its roots lie within our basic human needs and our complex minds. It is not the design of buildings or furniture, but of an envisioned experience. Good and bad designs deserve recognition of what they are for they all teach us lessons. The world around us is always a reflection of our time and knowledge gained from the past, even if we repeat philosophies and approaches.

No solution is perfect as perfection is a state visible from an absolute uncontested perspective.

What draws me to architecture is this self awareness of the profession.

Architecture in World in Conflict:The project revolves around the creation of economic opportunities for the ancient city of Palmyra. The platforms are arranged parallel to the market performing a symbolic gesture of movement and trade in spirit of the history of the city. Spacing is dictated by grids, intermingling at nodes in the building. The form of the building breaks away from the strong grid pattern of the city as a symbol of the introduction of a foreign object which will bring about change.

Eglinton Crosstown LRT will bring about development of underused parcels of land along Eglinton Avenue. The intersection of Bayview and Eglinton is of particular interest because eof it’s relatively close proximity to Yonge and Eglinton Hypothesized that the Eglinton/Bayview LRT station will act as an anchor point along Eglinton East, the proposal includes a mix of residential towers, town houses as well as office spaces. The surrounding structures are designed to frame the park as an active space to attract economic activity while still maintaining the privacy of the surrounding residential neighbors

Design ProcessThe Building is consisted of 4 main volumes. Through an iterative process of subtraction from the main volumes and a play with their arrangement the final form of the building was derived. The 1st floor of the strcture is kept to have a minimal footprint keep the ground level open and free of obstacles. The 2nd and 3rd levels are open plans to allow for maximum growing space for the green houses. Top and the final floor is open to the outside. It is in this proposal dedicated to photovoltaics.The roof top of the solid portion of the 4th floor is to be consisted of a cobination of photovoltaics as well as green roof design as to not allow heat from the bottom floors escape throgh the roof. The struxture measures 11 m on the short ide and 30 meters on the longer side of the volumes.

This museum is designed as a carved solid box. The 2 main Atria create the large voids within the solid form of the building volume. The atria front facades are angled to mark their location in the building and create a distinct division of the building. The front west walls of the atria are designed as solid contrasting the glazed front facade of their adjacent volumes with the intention to suggest a sense of heaviness and present volumes as juxtaposed solids and voids. The openings in the building can only be experienced upon entering the spaces.

Form and Function:Design of the Trinity Bellwoods Multipurpose Pavilion heavily revolved around addressing issues of stainability and passive ventilation systems. Southern walls of this structured are at a complementary angle to Toronto’s lowest winter sun angle of approximately 20 degrees at noon in December.Roofs Extend outwards beyond the face of the building to provide shade for the interior spaces during summer. The Canopy on the front facade provides additional shading doe for the facades with high windows. These lower canopies are designed as dynamic elements that would respond to different sun angles and temperature conditions inside the building. Rainwater is guided towards the middle of the roof, and drained and stored in an underground water reservoir. This water is then to be used for non drinking water amenities where that require less filtration. Plan: Wooden trellises are aligned along tangent re-configured pedestrian paths of the Trinity Bellwoods Park and terminate at key locations in the building.

This piece was inspired by a quote in the movie Blood Diamond starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Djimon Hounsou.

“Sometimes I wonder... will God ever forgive us for what we’ve done to each other? Then I look around a realize... God left this place a long time ago” Danny Archer, Blood Diamond (2006)

Inspired by the tall towers in toronto this sketch is an abstract representation of the main body of a tall tower. The split half way up its height symbolizes the experience of separation from the ground floor experienced at various levels by different occupants but fading into one of a homogenous feeling as one travels further up the tower.The top and bottom of the object possess darker shades. This represents a mass whose identity is mostly identifi-able by its end conditions.

This is a portrait of an old actor portraying the role of lead character in a movie. He is in some ways no longer himself, but a character in the movie that plays the part of the actor as opposed to the other way around.

An old naval captain looks out into the sea on a rainy day. He watches the people around him trying to keep out of the rain. He remembers his days as the captain of a large wooden old sailing ship, sailing across the endless oceans, the many storms he has seen that nearly claimed his life and those of his crew members. He remembers the endless starry clear night sky after the storm and the sun on the horizon in the morning after and the warmth of its rays against his face.

This image captures an interesting contrast between tamed linear geometry and raw, uneven and sporadic branches of a tree. The concept of chaos versus order can be sensed by looking at an image. This contrast perhaps is a symbol of our perspectives towards our natural tendencies to organize and simplify the context in which we live in and the complexity of organic spread.

This image captures a particular moment in time where a particular line of one building appears to continue along a different path on the adjacent building as a result of a their shared rectangular module. Contrary to one`s expectation this effect can only be viewed from one particular point at street level.
