Hi there, I’m Jonathan Bennett and I am a third year architecture student at the University of Waterloo. My travel experience to places in Europe, Japan and Latin America as well as my broad range of personal interests have shaped my passion for design and interest in Architecture. I love learning new languages and experiencing new places. In the past, I studied traditional Shotokan Karate-do and played music and in the future I would like to continue to pursue a career in architecture and learn to tattoo. I hope that this selection of my work will communicate who I am and what I love to do. 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

Don River Recreation
2B Design Studio // Lola Sheppard // Spring 2015 // Individual
Located in Toronto, adjacent to the Don River and along the Better Sutherland Trail a series of elevated trails reconnects the previously fragmented existing trails. Elevated trails connect the program to the current trail system. This allows Torontonians to view the local ora and fauna without causing disturbance 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 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 architectureâ€?. The form could change from day to day and from season to season or to allow for new programming being added or for the building program to change completely. to the disintegrating structure or taken away. The project is extends over 2km along the Don River and ends with the two elevated trails which cross the two remediated wetlands on either end.

Reflected Landscapes
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.

Green 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 projects 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 photo voltaic flat 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.

S.S.E.F. Competition - Sail Canopy S.S.E.F. / 1B Building Construction // Terri Boake // Winter 2014 // Collaboration with Michael Nugent
The Great Lakes have had a huge impact on the culture of Southern Ontario. The depth of the St. Lawrence River and the Great Lakes allowed for tall ships to pass through for trading and shipping. This fostered an almost maritime culture along the coasts of the Great Lakes in what would otherwise be a landlocked part of the country. This unique structure would be located in Bluffer’s Park, Scarborough, overlooking the lake. The structure forms a covered promenade which would be located on the flats just below the bluffs. This would provide a view of the bluffs above and the lake beyond while providing shelter for those using the trail. The steel cables would allow for some flexibility in the structure without totally compromising the integrity of the span, creating an image reminiscent of the sails of the old tall ships of the past

Terraced Housing 1B Design Studio // Donald McKay // Winter 2014 // Collaboration with Calli Mingopoulos, Tara Salvarej and Alex Li
Working collectively with a group of peers, the aim of this Junk project was to creatively develop an existing vacant parking lot in Cambridge, Ontario as medium - density housing. Our group was assigned the vacant parking lot in a courtyard between two large, old stone buildings with retail program. The courtyard was raised and terraced to create a series of horizontal planes on which we strategically place the row house units to lift them above the shadow of the stone buildings on either side. This allows sunlight to reach each row unit and gives each unit a view of the Grand River just beyond. A series of paths and ramps run between the row units separating the pedestrians from the vehicular trafďŹ c. In doing this, courtyard can be transformed from a dusty parking lot into a park space. Single storey units and double storey units make the space attractive for students, couples and families. Cars and bicycles can be parked in the condensed parking lot which is removed from the communal pedestrian space.

Atelier Marko Brajovic Co-op // Marko Brajovic and Bruno Bezerra// Winter 2015 // Worked under Marko Brajovic and Bruno Bezerra
Located in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Atelier Marko Brajovic is a small multi-disciplinary architecture firm whose projects range from product design to architecture and scenography. The office’s work in Brazil and in other locations around the world including, but not limited to: Milan, Buenas Aires, Hong Kong, Dubai, San Sebastian and Melbourne have led to the firm winning a number of design awards and gaining clients such as Nike, The United Nations, Google, Lacoste, 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 models as well as virtual 3D models (using Rhocorous 5 and SketchUp). I also sketched and contributed towards the design process for projects while completing a number of presentation drawings for other projects

IBI Group - Co-op // Ron Eagleton // Fall 2015 // Worked under Gwyn Vose
The IBI Group is the fourth largest architectural office in the world, with teams across the globe who work on projects involving educational facilities, hospitals, hotels, commercial, transportation, resorts, high-rise residential and more. I worked at the Vancouver office where I contributed towards an array of projects in the schematic design phase and design development phase. One project included doing the schematic design drawings for two high-rise residential towers connected by a sky bridge on a sloping site. These towers contain a large amenity space located within the sky bridge, rental units, condo units and townhouse units. I created 3D models of the towers and surrounding context, spreadsheets for project statistics (FSR, parking required, max height, etc.), conducted shadow studies, and created sections and plans. I also contributed towards several other projects during my time at IBI to create context models, unit plans, marketing plans, floor plans, building sections and basic renderings.
Shadow Study: March 10:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m., 2:00 p.m.
