UofT Daniels’ 24 BA Arch

Topography and Houses near Don River arc200: Drawing and Represenation II Instructor: Sam Ghantous Course Coordinator: Michael Piper Completed in December 2021

If you never touch the ground, you are incapable of caring what’s on the ground

When I was exploring the site, I noticed the uneven parts of the ground and found that each house has different approach to those conditions with different types of landscapes and I got an idea that even though these landscapes are different, they sit on the same ground and therefore are connected to each other by the Topography.

Secondary Dwelling Units Proposals - Based on Types of Landscapes

Types of existing Landscapes 4

The units are made so that the dwellers remain connected to the world by being a part of landscapes and therefore, part of topographical network that maintains all relationships of the grounds together.

Like each of the residential landscapes that was built based on the shape of the ground it’s on, the interventions are differently adjusted to each type of landscapes to engage with the connection of topography.

Formal Landscape: formally trimmed and defined plants/ topiary and/or formal hardscape( such as terraces) Hardscape where stair is the main element of landscape Softscape in the shape of a mound

Secondary Dwelling Units Proposals - Perspectives

1 Stair Cave extending the stair and make its interior volume a dwelling unit

2 Donut in a Hill underground volume nestled in the hill, which is excavated to make a balcony that also serves as entry

4 Boxes on Informal Plants occupiable volume where its bottom half is covered by the plants while the top half sits above the plants

3 Terrace Units mimicking the shape of the existing terrace for interior volume occupation

To be and live as one with landscapes, people will be conscious of the land they are on, and realize that, to maintain the systems, they have to contribute to the topographical network to breath, live and lie there toghether in harmony.

J. Alfred Prufrock’s Tower of Anxiety arc280: Modelling and Fabrication in Design Instructor/TA: John Nguyen Course Coordinator: Nicholas Hoban Completed in April 2022

“....And indeed there will be time To wonder, “Do I dare?” and, “Do I dare?”

Time to turn back and descend the stair, With a bald spot in the middle of my hair — (They will say: “How his hair is growing thin!”)...”

- The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock

by T. S. ELIOT

I designed a tower to represent and visualize a point of view of a socially anxious fictional character, J. Alfred Prufrock, who finds it hard to “descend the stair” and socialize with people.

The process of making facades

I designed this tower’s facade to look like a giant curtain. So it’s like J. Alfred Prucfrock hiding from the society behind the curtain. However, the curtain is translucent, meaning that Prufrock can’t always hide his anxiety from others.

2. Floor plates

3. Stairs

4. Structures Braced + Columns

5. Curtain Facades

The unsheltered stairs, starting from the top to bottom, and exposed, fragile looking structures are to represent how scary it is for Prufrock to fight his anxiety to go down and be social.

I chose to explore this topic because, I want to create a tower that has emotions. Many towers are designed to just be cool but for me that’s not architecture. By adding emotions to towers, it’ll remind people that technology in architecture is made to care for people, not for any country to show off its technological advancement

to Converge: Intimacy of Spaces arc201: How to Design Almost Nothing Instructor: Shane Williamson Course Coordinator: Fiona Lim Tung Completed in April 2022

A good space will converge you with its circulation, and allow you to pause, to experience its spatial intimacy

to Coverge- Sectional Experimentation I began with the process of convergence, using stairs, by organizing them sectionally, before extuding them and add voids and activities to make the spaces accessible

1. Sectional Convergence Where the stairs meet sectionally

2. Voids How voids can converge stairs and allow people to walk up to the next level

3. Landings of convergence How Stairs lead to gathering landings

4. Dispersion How stairs disperse people

Section A 1:50 m.

Section B 1:50 m.

Stairs differ in length so that each set of them sits and overlaps each other. This is to allow people to transition from one set of stairs to one another continuously as if they are automatically converged by the stairs’ circulations

Plan C 1:50 m.

Plan D 1:50 m.

Elevation Oblique 1:50 m.

By the end of the this experimentation, I discovered that by using only stairs, I am able to create a space where people can be intimate with the spaces, circulations and each other through convergence.

I created a building of stairs that converge everything together. As you enter the building, you’ll be intrigued by a series of stairs that invite you to be parts of their circulations, either by lingering or walking up on them.

When you circulate around the void and pause to mesmerize the views and breath the air, the stairs would remind you voids are more powerful when they aren’t enclosed by walls.

Section A 1:100 m.

If you decide to enter from the labyrinth, you’ll be transitioned from the softscape structure to the wooden structure A

When there is one more Good Design, there is one more Hope.
