44 Greeves Street provides unique housing with a focus on light and space. Our precedent study was the ‘Nexus Housing Project’ by OMA, which used internal voids to provide light to residences. We have continued this idea through one large central cut and a smaller northern extraction to maximise direct winter sun. Each of these cuts form are expressed as glazed louvres, The brickwork is punctured with hit-and-miss patterning focused around fenestration. The northern houses interlock to allow an equality of light and individual access. The southern tower apartments all have upward sweeping windows to the north. Views and privacy in between the towers across the void are carefully controlled by a system of opacities in the louvres.

The first task for students was the precedent research on multiresidential housing. Students were paired up and given a building to research and dissect. This proved to be a beneficial exercise because we were able to understand the building much better

upon breaking down the different elements. What really helped was the criteria that Dennis told us to focus on. Although this was a challenging building to wrap our heads around, it was really beneficial and made a return in my final assignment.

The Nexus Housing Building by Steven Holl was based upon the “Fusuma” and catering to Japanese traditions and growing family sizes. The residents were able to create the spaces as they saw fit with the use of hinged doors. When we first got assigned this

building, neither of us knew anything about it, and on first glance it seemed extremely daunting. Breaking down the building into components helped us understand the building to a much larger extent and in my eyes, an extremely successful learning tool.

The biggest contributor to my understanding of the building was digitally building it through Rhino. Based on the plans alone, it was very difficult to understand which way apartments spanned and which floor they landed on. It is a very confusing building with multuple interlocking and multi-level apartments.

Even after building it according to plans, I had to reconfigure the apartments because I made them go down instead of up for example. This was a great exercise and helped me wrap my head around the project and its various complexities and intricacies.

Another useful component was the section of the building.

Because it does not have a “typical� section, we decided to cut the building up into multiple sections. Although not required, I believe this gave us a greater understanding of the

spacial relationships within the building, as well as portray the complexities of the design in a much greater extent. It is a different way of portraying sections, but I believe this type of diagram was useful in the understanding a building of this nature.

My favourite part of this assignment was the final presentations when everyones assignments were pinned up on the wall. The reason being was because everyone had the same template/ colours/components explored, this created a great way to compare and contrast the different types of multi-residential

Master of Architecture 300pt

building types. It was already useful just doing it for the Steven Holl building, but seeing it up with 13 other buildings made the understanding of multi-residential buildings that much greater, and eventually this learning was put to use in our proceeding and final assignment.

Context Research Assignment: Circulation Group: Anna Kilpatrick, David Gerber, Mitchell Stewart, and Shane Ridley The next assignment was the Context Research of 44 Greeves Street, and my group was assigned the circulation around the VEHICULAR CIRCULATION area. This was divided into Walking, Public Transportation, Cycling, and Cars. This gave us more insight into the context of

the site we would be using for the following Esquisse assignment and the Final assignment. All of this information was collected 1:1000 into a research document that was then distributed throughout the class, which proved invaluable to all of our designs.

This exercise helped further understand the modes of transportation within the context of 44 Greeves Street. Although we were told to include garages for our future designs, I think these statistics swayed the direction of design for the majority

VEHICLE OWNERSHIP AND USE

of our class. Because the site is so well situated and has direct access to various means of transportation, many people (myself included) found that other than from making more money on the realestate, the garages were not really necessary.

Design Esquisse: Double House Group: Andrew Curnow, David Gerber, Gareth Price, and Ivana Dancova INFO:

Herritage face maintained This was our first attempt at designing a building on the given site: 44 Greeves Street. We were assigned the tastk to take a precedent from the first assignment and apply it to the site including all of the constraints. Our group chose the double house to use as a

template/design idea. We programmed 7 townhouses on the site and kept the heritage facade. Adequate sunlight was a challenge, so we included lightwells for each townhouse, as well as a garage for each townhouse (as per specification of the brief given).

This design was by far my favourite design that we as a group created during the semester. It was a shame that we only had two weeks to work on this assignment. It was meant for a quick design esquisse, but we definitely went above and beyond. I am glad we did because it helped explore spacial planning on a

Final Assignment: 44 Greeves Street Group: Charles Kemp, David Gerber, Joshua Mannerheim, and Lewis Gallagher

This was our final assignment using the 44 Greeves Street site. Our design started by taking three different points in the surrounding context and making a solid volume. From here, we used the sun paths in both the summer and winter solstice to create the cuts, which made an internal void for public space. We

used what we learned from the OMA Nexus Building and the Steven Holl Building and combined them to create the spatial composition of the building. Using the sun also meant that the building would be self-shading during the hot summer months, and open during the cold winter months.

Building upon what we learned from the first assignment, diagramming was very useful in describing our design, especially since it definitely pushes the boundaries in terms of possibility and practicality. We believe it could stand up, but the emphasis wasn’t placed on the practicality of the building, but rather spatial

composition and creating interesting spaces within a difficult envelope. The diagrams were used to explain different aspects of our building and proved to be invaluable and helped show the amount of thought that we put into the resolution of this project.

We had a Section lot of challenges with and@ A1 had multiple 1:100 2.7m this volume variations of the cuts when trying to figure out spatial compositions that will work. We finally landed on one and this was a great opportunity to put what we learned about multiresidential building and spacial composition, to the test. We 0

started by making plans on AutoCAD but quickly realized that most of the rooms did not work because of head clearance when importing and extruding in Rhino. This created a great learning environment and I learned so much from all of the problems we had during the planning phase.

When we moved onto the materiality of the building, we quickly realized that we need to continue our approach of the monolithic form in order to preserve the original intent of the design. We landed on using the same brick to preserve the heritage aspect of the existing building, but also implemented hit-and-miss brick throughout the exterior. This created privacy, but also created

a monolithic form during the day, and an interesting exterior facade during the night as light passed through the missed bricks; the roof was also a hit-and-miss tiling system. This type of facade also played with the sunlight and created interesting lighting conditions inside the building.

Studio B was an amazing educational experience because it helped me understand the process of architecture as it would occur in real practice. The course helped me learn new ways of expressing ideas through diagrams and research, which I will definitely implement in the future. Dennis’ continued commitmement to helping us learn and achieve perfect plans in order to make sure that our design would work was vital in my

learning. It was great to have restrictions and a real brief to work from because in Studio A I picked the biggest site possible and I do not believe it helped me be as creative in the design process as this site did, because of all of the restrictions with the site. The restrictions helped me push my boundaries and helped me learn from the mistakes along the way to the final presentation. Thank you for an amazing semester, Dennis.
