How does one build a community?

This narrative cross section describes a community that calls itself Makeshift --a collective in the truest sense: a selforganized cross-pollination of disciplines that shares resources, space, and knowledge in order to enable each other’s creative pursuits. Wherever and whenever possible, we collaborate on projects, using our shared studio as a laboratory for creative experiments.

In 2016 my partners Alex, Nam, and I acquired a permanent studio space for Makeshift, renovating, re-branding, and incorporating as Makeshift Studio Inc. Each of us took ownership over one domain of the community, laying the foundations for it to grow as others joined the effort. I led the renovation of the studio space, with special attention focused on building an addition to house our woodshop and assembly room, which included engineering and fabricating a custom glulam beam made from salvaged old-growth studs found in a demolished interior wall.

With the spaces built out and the resources in place, the rest of the studio took shape as people received training and confidence in their ability to occupy and outfit their own individual corners of the studio.

Today, Makeshift is shared by freelance designers, furniture-makers, fashion and textile designers, filmmakers, digital fabricators, photographers, architects, illustrators, ceramicists, and general creative souls. ...

COMMON GRAVE

December 2018

Graduate Architectural Design Studio 5: Urban Loculi - Logistics of the Dead julianchusnider.com/portfolio/commongrave

Urban Loculi - Logistics of the Dead asked its students to critically examine the North American funeral and burial industry, its spatial, energy-consumptive, and socio-economic implications, and to propose an intervention that encourages a practical and cultural shift in the way we perceive, process, and reconcile death as a society.

Common Grave is a 100-storey work of public art, a century-long sociological experiment, and a cultural beacon in response to the prompt described above. Each large sculptural pavilion contains the bodily remains of one month’s deaths as powder-form aggregate. Each floor of the tower contains the sculptural forms of one year’s deceased: 12 pavilions arranged in differing patterns. Visitors will identify the sculpture in which their deceased is entombed by month and year, further locating their name inscribed in the bronze node at the center of the pavilion.

PHOTOGRAPH ARCHIVE 0 3:

April 2018

Graduate Architectural Design Studio 4: Comprehensive Building Project (with partners Josh Silver & Robert Lee) julianchusnider.com/portfolio/photoarchive

This Comprehensive Building Project proposes a new home for Toronto’s photographic archive, a collection of one million photographs dating back to 1856. The building’s form is an impenetrable opaque box located at a chaotic and messy urban intersection, an exoskeleton pierced only by natural elements: rays of sun and green space on the north end of the building, revealing a soft white interior –the blank slate on which Toronto’s photographic history is displayed and preserved.

The facade treatments vary depending on their urban adjacencies, and their textural quality was derived from material explorations at a range of scales. The design was further enriched through explorations into the building’s architectonic, structural, and environmental performance.

0 4: 235 BALLIOL STREET

2020 - Ongoing BDP Quadrangle julianchusnider.com/portfolio/balliol

235 Balliol is 27-storey purpose-built rental building in midtown Toronto. The existing site contains two storeys of underground parking with a 26-storey 1960’s era apartment building on the eastern half of the site. The proposed intervention retains the existing building, while demolishing half of the underground parking structure and infilling with the new tower.

Balliol Steet is situated in a rapidly densifying residential neighbourhood with mature trees, walkable streets, and transit connectivity. The proposed development underwent rigorous community consultation, resulting in unique programmatic components such as a daycare, increased amenity spaces, and an accessible mid-block pedestrian connection designed to accommodate large plantings and public art.

235 Balliol is currently under construction and the project team is performing Contract Administration. Expected completion is 2024.
