Hello There!
Jonathan Bennett 3B Architecture Student // University of Waterloo T: +1 519 807 9002 E: jc2benne@uwaterloo.ca A: 729 Sundance Circle, Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, L1J 8N9
My name is Jon Bennett and I am a third year architecture student. What’s there to know? Well I love to travel and have been able to go to all sorts of amazing places including Brazil, France, Greece, Mexico, Haiti, Montenegro and Japan. I love to experience new cultures and traveling definitely shaped my interest in architecture and passion for design. Outside of architecture I train traditional shotokan karate, have begun long distance running and am constantly trying to learn new languages. These things aside, this portfolio is a small collection of my some of my most recent work. Cheers!

To whom it may concern: Re:
Jon Bennett
This is to confirm that Jon Bennett was employed in our Vancouver office from September until December 2015. During his employment he worked on a wide range of projects. Highlights include the development of schematic design for two signature towers in Coal Harbour, Vancouver, connected with a sky bridge; and the design development of a 40 storey mixed use tower. Jon worked on 3D modeling, Auto Cad drawings, unit layouts, space planning, parking layouts and graphics preparation. He was an integral part of the team showing leadership and creativity in finding solutions to problems as they arose with good time management skills. We hope that the time Jon spent in our office has made a positive contribution to his education. I would recommend Jon. Please contact me if you require more information. Yours truly, IBI/HB Architects Gwyn Vose Studio Principle

Courtyard Courtyard Tower Tower 3A Design Studio // Mona el Khafif // Winter 2016 // Individual
The goal of this project was to develope a project which integrated various programming including residential, office and light-industrial production into the same building. The project is driven by the basic form of a courtyard building and a perimeter block. Back onto a park at the end of The Esplanade (Toronto), part of the podium form is peeled back to reveal the interior courtyard, opening it up to the public for both physical and visual access from the park. The courtyard typology is copied and flipped vertically to act as a slab tower with cut-out voids. The building’s double skin folds and wraps around the interior programming and the voids to create interior courtyards. As a result these courtyards are both at once inside the building and separate from the interior programming. These courtyards are then greened to provide public park space for the residents and office occupants which can be used all year round. Programming in the podium consists primarily of public park space, ligh industrial production (a micro-brewery and coffee roasters) and retail. The slab tower primarily houses office spaces and residential programming. Adjacent to this programming are the cut out voids which act as parks for the offices and residents. At the pdoum level, the double facade is inhabitable as extra circulation while at the residential levels it is used as large balconies for the residents, providing views of the surrounding toronto cityscape.

Don Don River River Recreation Recreation 2B Design Studio // Lola Sheppard // Spring 2015 // Individual
Located in Toronto, adjacent to the Don River and along the Betty Sutherland Trail a series of elevated trails reconnects the previously fragmented existing trail systems. This allows Torontonians to view the local flora and fauna without causing disturbance, creates an extended, more complete trails syste, and contributes towards the conservation efforts in the Don River Valley. A series of structures containing recreational and educational programming, located along the new trails act as points of interest along the river. The loose column and beam structure system allows for the buildings to expand or contract over time as users add or take away from the buildings. This allows the structures to become a sort of “DIY architecture�. The form could change from day to day and from season to season. New programming could be added or for the building program to change completely. The project is extends over 2km along the Don River and ends with the two elevated trails which cross the two remediated, protected wetlands on either end.

Green Green Classroom Classroom 2A Environmental Design // Terri Boake // Fall 2014 // Collaboration with Felix Yang
For this project we divided a portable classroom into two learning spaces: one for learning about the environment and one for learning the regular school curriculum. The environmental room features an entirely glazed south facade to promote passive heating and daylighting, operable windows for ventilation, corrugated metal shading devices and skylights. The ocular form of the skylights and windows and brightly coloured walls reflects the project’s playfulness.The tiered, pitched roof increases the surface area for the water collection system which flushes the toilets, runs the sink, etc. The dividing wall between the spaces features a living wall allowing students to learn about food production. The second space, the education room, is a more traditional classroom setting where the typical curriculum classes can take place. This roof is covered with a flat photo voltaic array to power the mechanical lighting, heating and water heating. The windows are designed to meet passivhaus standards. Indigenous plants can be planted into the structure’s prefabricated base so the project can seamingly dissolve into any landscape and hide the services from the public view.

Cambridge Cambridge Commons Commons Rec. Rec. 2A Design Studio // Adrian Blackwell // Fall 2014 // Individual
For the 2A design studio final, students were asked to design a community centre for an undeveloped site located in Cambridge, Ontario. The design of my community centre revolves around the design and the sculpting of the roof plate and the floor plate. Both planes can be occupied in a variety of ways which promotes and allows for the interaction of various publics rather than entirely separating them. The two sculptural planes are supported by a loose column grid and the majority of the “walls� are glass. This makes the building appear almost entirely transparent so that new landscape planes are brought into the foreground and it is possible for all groups to interact with one another. The programming in-between and on top was determined by the way in which the two planes interacted; how they curved, separated, reflected and joined together.

Atelier Atelier Zundel Zundel Cristea Cristea // // Co-op Co-op 3A Internship // Atelier Zundel Cristea // Summer 2016 // Paris, France
From May to August 2016 I had the opportunity to intern for Atelier Zundel Cristea in Paris, France. During this time I had the opportunity to contribute towards a number of projects including: a competition for a new metro station, an elderly residential home, a metro station in france and the new Atelier Zundel Cristea office. During my time with AZC, the office moved to a new location and I was able to work on some contributions towards the design of the new office space. This included creating exterior diagramatic drawings of the new building in relation to the surrounding context as well as creating renderings of the inteior spaces and indivudal interior elements. I primarily worked on V-ray, Sketchup, Illustrator, Photoshop, Autocad and Rhino during my time at AZC and my primary role was digital modeling.

Atelier Atelier Marko Marko Brajovic Brajovic // // Co-op Co-op 2A Internship // Atelier Marko Brajovic // Winter 2015 // Sao Paulo, Brazil
Located in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Atelier Marko Brajovic is a small multu-disciplinary architecture firm hose projects frame from product design to architecture and scenography. The office’s work and Brazil and other locations around the world (such as Milan, Hong Kong, San Sebastian, Dubai and Buenas Aires) have led to the firm winning numerous awards an gaining clients such as Nike, The United Nations, Sao Paulo Fashion Week and Camper. During my internship I worked directly under Marko Brajovic, project director Bruno Bezerra and other team members. My official role was intern and model maker; I contributed towards several different projects, building both physical as well as diital models (using Rhino and Sketchup). I also sketched and contributed towards the design process for projects while completing presentation drawings for other projects.

In In Progress: Progress: Proteus Proteus Moves. Moves. 3A Design Studio // Dereck Revinton // Fall 2016 // Individual
For the 3A design studio, students were asked to select and then examine a natural phenomena of great force. After finding a video of the natural phenomena students were tasked with modelling the forces behind the phenomena. Light is also taken into consideration: how does light reflect off, or move through the spaces and forms created with the model. What kind of space/program could one imagine these spaces/forms becoming? This is an ongoing studio project currently in progress this term.
