Opting to save the existing ramp, RevAMP attempts to make a connection between Toronto and its waterfront on both formal and informal levels. Our design argues upcycling an interstice of highway ramp for the creation of an inclusive and multi-programmatic space for pedestrians and cyclists.

Evading metaphor, RevAMP literally brings the waterfront in and embraces it. While site specific, our repurposed ramp evokes the breezy waves and subtle wooden curvatures of the Simcoe WaveDeck in an attempt to harmonize with the Queens Quay Promenade.

RevAMP encourages a partially disengaged mode of social interactions: it can be understood as a space or a platform for the display of binding affective force within a daily commute, a stroll through the local market, or a place to stay on a cold night.

We envision this space as a kind of multi-seasonal sphere of public interaction expressed as much though the mood as through any definitive process. We seek for users to identify with RevAMP: the dimensions become ingredients of experiencing Toronto’s waterfront.

RevAMP acts as a platform to maintain a productive political potential that can dislodge discomfort with commuting and urban interstices; that can reintroduce Toronto and its waterfront and build cultural, commercial, recreational, and communitarian futures in the repurposing of decommissioned infrastructure.

RE-VAMP

As a city, Toronto has become separated from its central waterfront.

Sliding panels hinge to accommodate pop-up or local market stalls along the path. Think Dundas Market 707.

Sliding panels clustertogether to form a projection screen. Think bike-in/walk-in movie theatre.

Our intention for this design was not only to create a physical connection to make the site more accessible, but also to impose a system on the city in the form of infrastructure and a sustainable network that will provide long-term benefits. We created a process of food that begins and ends locally. In an integrated setting, urban agriculture exposes nature to the city fabric. Creating an interface between the two offers an experiential juxtaposition, but also benefits the city both ecologically and economically. A raised green platform sits delicately over the train tracks and ring road that follows the Ciutadella Park. Cars and trains pass through below while above the opportunity arises to implement a system of vegetation and culture that both feeds the surrounding area, and provides the building blocks to teach the residents of Barceloneta how to sustain their own consumption levels. By integrating agriculture within the city, costs of importing decrease, and both

locals and visitors are engaged with the landscape and the nourishment it can yield. When exiting the north side of the Estacio de Franca, the visitor is welcomed with a public market that contains the local vegetables. A staircase ascends to the platform where one can walk through the gardens, over the train tracks, and into a revitalized Barceloneta Park. On the northeast side of the railway, an orchard at ground level separates the trains and the cars and allows us to inhabit the space between. These all work together to establish a connection with the major regions of the site. Through creating a more accessible, sustainable, and prosperous pocket of Barcelona, a centerization occurs that the city can thrive upon in the future.

HIGH DINING: BARCELONA INFRASTRUCTURAL URBANISM

Develop a new form of urban landscape in Barcelona that will take advantage of the opportunity of the new city infrastructures.

A juxtaposition of programs. Exposing a child to ur-banity while emersed in an environment of learning and thought, and simultaneously exposing the city to the innocent imagination of a child. Generating interactions between the two creates an interesting space inbetween.

A child experiences a city in fragments, moments, or landmarks without necessarily understanding the space that connects these memories. Non-con-sistent in plan, the building attempts to play on the imagination of children and allow them to envision their own ideas of how these spaces connect.

Places of interaction are emphasized in the school-parking interface (visual, audible, vibrations), en-croachment of the entrance onto the sidewalk at street level, and the use of gathering spaces (court-yard on the top level, amphitheatre on the 6th floor, etc.). The intertwined car ramps produces obscure shapes that further creates unique moments and small spaces lending to the scale of children. A driver’s ascent is uniform and lands on parking floors alone, while the descent is not consistent and alternates between parking and school floors - col-lision of the two programs is stronger.

How does attending an elementary school in the middle of an urban-scape affect a child’s perspec-tive? How does the presence of youth in the city affect the course of a business day? Old Montreal becomes a centre for interaction and community.

PARKING STRUCTURE & ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Devise a strategic architectural intervention that aims to re-establish Old Montreal as an urban center in the context of the whole city. Combine a parking structure and a chosen second program that responds to programmatic needs of the area.

The Quartier de Spectacles is a vibrant mix of cul-ture; with its perpetual movement of festivals and events it has become an attraction for the masses of visitors the city receives each year. However, once the visitors leave, this area transforms to vacant and inactive. How do we attract the local Montrealers into a predominently tourist setting? Our solution is to create a family-oriented space that can support the festivals and exhibitions, but also the day-to-day social fabric of Montreal. The event tower is an adaptable space for children with the possibility of a multiple of changing pro-grams. The tower provides the framework for a va-riety of activities for. Among these: bungee jump-ing, rock climbing, diving, and trapezeing. Its skin is transparent, exchanging energy with the surround-ing city and culture.

The tower emerges from beneath the ground, through a surface reflecting pool, rendering an in-

finite structure in its mirror image. It becomes an object out of reach, untouchable, and only to be per-cieved from a distance. To enter, one must descend below the group by a ramp sunked into the water that submerges the visitor in the earth’s elements. Water spills down over the sides of the pool along the walls adjacent to the ramp; the visitor is com-pressed into the underground.

Upon entry, a grid of columns leads to the tower. Initially dense and dark, the columns progessively become more spaced out as they move towards the light tower. Evocative of a sort of excavation, the space decompresses to ultimately release into the infinite space of the tower.

By only experiencing the tower from far away and extremely close, a relationship of fantasy is estab-lished with the person: dreamlike and playful.

DECOMPRESSION: EVENT BOX

In an attempt to revitalize Montreal’s Quartier des Spectacles, design a space for cultural gatherings of diverse programmatic opportunities; an event box.

With the recent addition of a second ice surface on McGill University’s lower campus, the need for a covered structure is even more evident. Students and other users of the space need a place to sit that is protected from the wind and snow, while still pro-viding visibilty.

The proposed site design separates the two ice sur-faces farther apart from each other (than the exist-ing design) with the pavilion in between.Evocative of McGill’s Roddick gates, a design of dichotomy gives the pavilion both functional and sculptural expressions. Facing both ice surfaces, the two curves provide a sheltered space to sit and put on skates, take a break, or spectate. Wood-en panels act as blinds that block the wind when closed, but allow for transparency through the structure when opened.

As a temporary structure, the hinges and select re-movable panels make a simple assembly and disas-sembly (as well as allows for compact storage).

ICE RINK PAVILION

Design a pavilion for McGill University’s seasonal ice rinks to provide a space where students can tie skates, sit, watch, socialize, etc. It is required to be able to disassemble and be taken down each spring.

Robust concrete forms balance a heaviness that is absorbed into the landscape of the quarry. An in-sertion into the earth bridges the separation of the land where a sliver of water connects two bodies of water.

The sensibility of a strong, forceful structure emu-lates that of a fortress. Thick walls and narrow spac-es protect but also allows for a relationship with the exterior. One is alone with a single and direct view of the surroundings.

From offices to lecture rooms to social spaces, the programmatic requirements for the expan-sion amounts to a one-third addition to the existing school within McGill Univerity’s downtown campus. The essential element in the design is a large steel vierendeel truss that lifts the roof mass and creates an open, column-free space in which new program can be inserted. The exposed truss appears light-weight, yet provides a strong structural solution as it allows for circulation and versatile programmatic use.

The biomimetic concept draws its inspiration from the human nervous system. The communication and organization of neurons within this unified sys-tem can be translated into an architectural lan-guage by establishing a logical communication be-tween programmatic elements. This was achieved by analyzing the organization of the existing build-ing as well as that of the addition, and then linking

similar spaces together through location and circu-lation. On the north facade, a series of circulation staircases provides a web of paths, study platforms, and social spaces dispersed at various levels. The idea of communication is reinforced by penetrating the building at various points, permeating the inter-face of exterior and interior spaces. The nervous system serves an important role in stimulating the idea of communication, literally, through efficient circulation and planning of the innerworkings of the school.

BRONFMAN ADDITION

Design an extension to McGill University’s School of Managment Bronfman building that accounts for the programmatic needs of the faculty. Explore the potentials of steel construction and use biomimicry to inspire the design.

Translucency, movement and fluidity. These ele-ments drawn from a picture of corn are what in-spired the space created, a collection of fine ele-ments creating an opaque mass. The grouping of parts is meant to be a transitional space, an impor-tant connection between places. Directionality is a focal point of our project. By cre-ating a density from individual fibers and extracting a path through them we carved a link from one point to the next.

The space simulates passive interaction. When moving through the field the memory of your motion resonates through the fibers, similar to the attrac-tion present within the individual strands of corn. Situated on the north-south axis, our passageway acts as a device interacting with the sun path, filter-ing light throughout the day. The space becomes a transitory moment in time where one can connect with their surroundings and experience light from varying perspectives.

FIELDS: MOCK-UP

Drawing inspiration from a previous material exploration, build a 1:1 mock-up of a space to be inhabited; a wall, that evokes the material qualities discovered.

Through an exterior design that takes a basis upon the solar analysis of the room, we engaged in a parametric design that pinpoints specific areas of maximum solar concentration. By separating a se-ries of slender panels, we allow for light to perme-ate through, and by utilizing the sinusoidal curve, and varying the width of the panels according to the extracted data, the areas of high concentration were consequently blocked.

In choosing materials we considered price, car-bon footprint, and how the materiality of the shade would affect the room and possibly McGill campus as a whole. We chose to use wood, a renewable re-source, to give a natural and organic quality to the studio and to harmonize the materiality of the room and McGill campus with its masonry facades, and wooden frames.

The construction of our prototype has led to many discoveries and ideas that can have countless ben-efits. The simplicity of the design and its aesthetics create a pleasant spatial experience that reduces

glare and sunlight exposure, while still preserving natural light penetration and views to the exterior. Its functionality is proven to be effective, and its de-sign will create a beautiful addition to any facade. Our experiments have proven the many benefits and attributes of our sunshade, as well as the improve-ments that are necessary if the installation were to be implemented on a larger scale.

The design of our installation is proven to be adapt-able, sustainable, and energy efficient. The script allows for the design to be applied to any window surface, anywhere in the world. As well, it allows for the design to be customizable and adjustable for the amount of sunlight allowed into the space. Our sunshade has also shown to reduce heat gains and energy consumption. Furthermore, its simple construction can be adapted to have a very minimal carbon footprint. Its functional design is very benefi-cial for any space, and its simplicity and adaptability make it easily reproducible and usable for any win-dow surface.

Current circumstances in Northern climate, envi-ronment and political landscapes indicate chang-ing conditions in the near future. Shifting sea ice coverage, water levels, shipping routes, and rising temperatures will ultimately change the face of the North. These inevitable factors raise the need to monitor a more substantial part of the considerably uninhabited Canadian Arctic. Envisioning a system that can adapt to this environment is a main priority.

This vision aligns with the nomadic traditions of the Inuit people. Their traditional lifestyle allowed them to adjust to changing seasons, food sources and en-vironmental factors. In the North, having the ability to adapt to new conditions is paramount in order to thrive in its extreme environment.

In the challenging topography and climate, air travel is the only viable option for transportation to remote locations. Not only does air travel have a strong his-torical presence in the identity of northern inhabi-

tation and research, as the North becomes a new frontier of development there is now a renewed fo-cus on the need to develop more efficient, reliable and safe means of transportation.

The Arctic Airship is the paragon of this future vision for inhabitation of the rapidly changing parameters of the North. It provides a patrolling presence in the Canadian Arctic, as the need to establish sover-eignty and advocate for the protection of the already fragile environment should be of the utmost priority. Researchers live on the Airship and travel between stations to collect data and maintain equipment.

As with Inuit nomadic dwellings, our research dock-ing stations leave almost no trace on the land, as they require little intervention on the landscape. They are erected quickly and as one pre-assembled structure, and are removed in the same manner. Research equipment is left unmanned to monitor conditions.

ACROSS THE ARCHIPELAGO

It is up to our generation of architects to propse new forms and systems to answer the future and exist-ing challenges of Arctic development and research. Design a research station on the existing Alert site in Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, thats general function is to monitor the earth’s atmosphere.

As both projects are currently in progress, these im-ages are basic and preliminary concept renderings for the purpose of presenting form, materiality, and spatiality to the client.

The Lakeshore Boulevard project design was an amalgamation of the best qualities in various dif-ferent iterations our design team produced. With a retail and cafe space on the first floor and a bal-let academy on the second and third floors, the program calls for an open but private facade that responds to the different interior spatial configura-tions. The ballet academy wants to achieve an ex-clusivity to its members, while the retail and cafe space requires an entrance open to the public.

As the new office for C& Partners on the third floor and a medical clinic on the first two floors, the design of the Queen/Woodbine project proposed a challenge. Working individually on these inital design iterations, I wanted to convey a particular language to the passerby: a safe and welcoming facade to attract patients to the clinic while retaining an innovative, yet timeless exterior to commu-nicate the relevance of our architecture office. This re-

quired much back-and-forth collaboration with the client to develop the design into an optimized solution. While the entrance to the architecture office is discreet and shapes the visitor’s path with concrete walls, the entrance to the medical clinic is transparent, open, and encroaching into the public space. This concept was used to treat the inte-rior layout as well as the second and third floor facades.
