Federation Of Chinese Canadian Professionals Education Foundation Award in Architecture Winner Hobin Prize in Architecture and City Building Shortlist

Keewatin, an Ojibway word for “North Wind”, was an urban development proposal between Cameron Gordon and myself that turned into a love letter to the Canadian environment. When presented with the expansive lot at 1500 Bronson, our response was much less dense than our colleagues, opting to enhance the natural characteristics and complement the existing structure rather than swallow it with skyscrapers. Focusing on student rhythms given the proximity to Carleton, the axis of the development was the idea of a pedestrian streetscape that would invite occupation by the vibrancy of young adults. At the head of the street stands the redeveloped Edward Drake Building which challenges conservation and heritage standards provoking questions about the reuse of urban scapes.

PRESERVED CORRIDORS - Future-proofing development to allow for dialogue with adjacent site - Main corridor aligned with ravine and LRT access slope for possible new station

STREET’S END OPEN SPACE - Open air/semi-covered public commercial oriented space - Transition zone between streetscape and wooded area - Road easement preserved

ARCS 4107: Option Studio Instructor: Inderbir Singh Riar Location: Northern Ontario

In our final studio, we found ourselves returning to the principles that had started us on our path seemingly forever ago. With a focus on craft and representation I became obsessed with the idea of the journey. I found myself reflecting on all the paths I might have taken and began to liken it to our family tradition of backcountry adventuring. The only guideline given was to interpret the notion of the Folly and I began to meld the ideas of the garden and procession with my own journey through the previous five years and all the memories of the Canadian wilderness of my youth. This manifested itself through a series of sensorial campsites situated in a collaged landscape.

SITE 7 - LAUNCH Site 7 was organized around the metric of a canoe. All too familiar with the rhythms of the launch, this site was designed to provide a simple sleeping platform and storage facility for canoe campers as they began their journey.

The receptive nature of the roof structure eventually turned into a method of catching the rising sun, signalling the onset of adventure.

PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATIONS Delving into the personal archives to resurrect unresolved components as a basis for form finding.

Whether formal elements or concept sketches, the idea of a procession or journey through the past as an interpretation of the folly eventually anchored itself in the framework of a children’s summer camp.

SITE 66 - WINDCHIME

SITE 24 - CRATER

Site 66 began as a way to frame the northern winds.

Iterating on an old sketch concept of large fabric units, the process took a hard pivot after an extended session of pure form experimentation resulting in the final silhouette. Keeping in line with the original idea of translucency yielded the operable facades to both revel in and shield from the mountain winds.

Site 24 held a strong throughline of the camera obscura. Of the three, it is the purest representation of framing the landscape.

Transitioning away from the original raised vantage to a much gentler sloping form it became perfectly suited for a ridgeline. The name Crater is paying homage to my own Sudburian roots referencing the towns built on the rippling edges of our local meteor site.

MAP TRACINGS AND LANDSCAPE SKETCHES While the impetus for the pavilions was a summer camp, I wanted to give the site a scale that I felt could be informed by my memories and allow a viewer to construct entire narratives within themselves.

Detaching myself from the traditional notion of a single defined area, I started tracing maps and remote areas of Ontario that held these memories. Through layering and scaling I was able to create the outline for an imaginary provincial or national park.

Additionally, I began to sketch specific views of core experiences that had made all these locations so powerful to me. Focusing on their gestures and energies rather than perfect accuracy allowed me to produce a small diaries worth of drawings each with their own unique story and atmosphere.

SUB-URBAN

ARCS 3105: Studio 4 Instructor: Johan Voordouw Location: 33 Quill St. Ottawa, ON

Situated in the Overbrook neighbourhood of Ottawa, this project allowed for an important internal discourse. Initially bursting out of the gate with a ravenous appetite to design, early site visits inspired grandiose concepts of a community incubation tank. Following the studio’s theme of neighbourhood intensification, the centre was an attempt to grapple with impending redevelopment. The exisitng community centre was disregarded and the process took off as a response to a project brief rather than to a community in need. The result was a visible record of addition, experimentation and self actualization. The ongoing architectural Dadaism served as a humbling, ego-dissolving journey towards the realization of the importance of context.

SERENITY, NOW

Summer, 2022 Personal Project Location: Archie Bay, Lake Panage, Ontario

This project was devised as an off-season excercise. The site is situated on a small island on the outskirts of Killarney Provincial Park in a far corner of Lake Panache. Paddling through this passage on a canoe excursion, I noticed the qualities of the site and thought the exisiting cottage complemented its features. Seeking to replicate the conditions, the initial philosophy for the design became “architecture as relaxation” which resulted in a calmer, and personally rewarding method of outputting ideas. The design revolves around personal ideas and elements surrounding lifestyle, mindfullness, and of course, relaxation.

COMPLETING THE SQUARE

ARCH 252: Studio 3 Instructor: Patrick Zamarian Location: 4 Canning St. Birkenhead, UK

This project was completed while on a semester abroad at the University of Liverpool and is located across the River Mersey in Birkenhead. The town is directly across from downtown Liverpool and is suffering severe economic strain. The project was meant to inspire communal culture revitalization through an intervention. What started as a school of music ended up blossoming into a much wider scale community space. The site is situated within a roundabout that acts as a central node between the ferry, train station, and major transit routes of the area. The rest of the roundabout is mainly empty lots and sectioned off car parks and by pushing the boundaries of the site, the space has been transformed into a new green gate into the city terminating at the centre. What began as classrooms and a theatre expanded to a workshop, indoor-outdoor cafe, and a hybrid intensive green-roof terrace space and juice bar.

“Our passion for the event sprung from this idea that the walls of our space should be an active experiment, an ever-evolving statement on what was important and interesting in architecture,” they add. “Kosmic’s occupation of the school imagined that when students could manipulate the space, the ideas that floated around in our classroom could be built and experienced.”
