BLOOR DUFFERIN HYBRID THIRD YEAR INTEGRATION STUDIO PROJECT | DURATION: 1 YEAR ACADEMIC WORK | PARTNER PROJECT WITH CHARISSA MEDRANO Situated between the Dufferin mall, Dufferin Grove park and the various new proposed developments, the proposal looks to add a new high school in the community following a mix of traditional and alternative curriculum. The new addition of a city high school will provide the community with the sufficient resources and space to run musical events year-round, allowing music to become a binding force of the Dufferin Grove Community and the school.

An exploration of the temporal qualities of spaces: Prelimary sketches visualizes how a school can operate in the day and offer unique opporunities to the communites in the evening and weekends when students are no not occupying the space. Three scenarios are presented in each space: one during class time, one supporting after school extracurriculars, and one supporting the community.

05

4 Conditions: Performance, art gallery, display and play - Each exhibit the idea of “extending” learning and creating into the Dufferin Neighbourhood. The use of glazing and materiality that stretches from the interior to exterior reinforces the idea of blurring boundaries between what is inside versus outside.

The art gallery becomes part of the community after hours - pedestrians walking along Dufferin Street can enjoy the art created by students for the community.

06

View of the visual arts classroom

The thickness of the upper level walls are reinforced with built-in cabinetry and seating space - the thick upper walls provide a safe protection around the learning space of the school which is juxtaposed with the thin transparent glazing of the ground level, meant to extend the learning and connection to the community.

STORY OF SOUND SECOND YEAR DESIGN STUDIO | DURATION: 1 SEMESTER ACADEMIC SOLO WORK Through developing an understanding of the art of diving, sound becomes a crucial part in this sport, from the sound cue initiating the dive to the important relation with the minimal sound of the splash to a successful dive. The underlying theme of the design is to take the occupants through an acoustical journing inspired by the sequence of sounds a diver experiences prior, during and after a dive.

ARC.HIVE 2023 WINNING COLLABORATIVE CHARETTE EXERCISE | DURATION: 2 WEEKS | PROJECT LEAD GROUP PROJECT WITH ESHO KIRKHAN, SAMEEN YOUSUF, ELLEN CHEN, ANAHITA KAWALE, YUNXIANG HUANG

The Toronto Metropolitan University architecture building is often occupied by architectural science faculty and students. However, non architecture students attend lectures on the first floor lecture room and when waiting for class, students crowd at the base of the stairs, breaking the circulation creating a potential hazard and inconvience to other staff and students. The design aims to mitigate the break in circulation by creating designated seating in an old locker alcove and display areas reinforces the identity of the architectural science department.

Initial conditions left the space congested (highlighted in grey), with students and staff (highlighted in blue) often having trouble accessing the second floor because students would sit on the stairs.

RADIATING STORIES SECOND YEAR DESIGN STUDIO | DURATION: 1 SEMESTER ACADEMIC SOLO WORK Stories, much like water ripples, spread out and are passed on from person to person. For stories to be comfortably shared amongst each other, certain conditions need to be met with the spaces we are in.

Thus, the movement of water ripples was the inspiration for this project in fostering spaces that encourage the sharing of these stories.

Intended as a part of the Venice Biennale, the storytelling center takes inspiration from its proximity to the Arsenale Di Venezia. The idea of water ripples as a visual motif of the sharing of stories from one person to another, presents itself in the building through the ceiling and building envelope.It spreads the idea of how everyone can come in and leave out with a new story or understanding, hoping to spread it further in the world.

PROFESSIONAL WORK

DUNCAN PATTERSON ARCHITECTURE | TORONTO, ON | 2023-2024 I had the pleasure of working at dPA for my 16-month co-operative program at Toronto Metropolitan University. During those 16 months, I was able to work on 13 of their active projects at various different phases. My work at dPA ranged from drafting initial schematic designs to detailing for construction documentation to administrative work like coordinating with the City of Toronto, contractors and suppliers.

The selected projects presented are the ones I was most involved in.

WINDERMERE Windermere is a third-floor addition to a residential home in Toronto.

Known to the clients as their “treehouse”, the project focuses on opening to its surrounding environment, creating large views of their backyard and the sky. I saw the whole project through during my co-op period so I worked extensively on orthographic drawings for schematic design, zoning and building permits with the city and construction documents. The project was set to finish when I finished my co-op term but due to delays, it was completed two months later.
