WORK EXPERIENCE
Architecture Assistant
Fall 2023
Using 3D modeling and Parametric design softwa drawings for a 100 acre residential master plan. I’m a third year undergraduate student at the Universit y of Waterloo School of Architecture. To me, architecture makes up all the for mal and spatial relations around us that can inform, and influence our actions, feelings and thoughts. I aspire to play with and create more interesting spatial relations, through both the built environment and that which surrounds it. This may manifest as a small bridge framing a waterfall, a sheltered court yard at a busy intersection or a suspended oculus overlooking a freezing river. I enjoy all creative avenues and am both driven and eager to develop my skills in all areas of my education. This port folio is a collection of my academic work over the first t wo years of my universit y education. leiflovlin@gmail.com 647 625 0706

Letter of Recommendation To whom it may concern, Leif Lovlin began working at Moriyama Teshima on January 3, 2023 and completed his employment April 28, 2023 to return to the University of Waterloo. While at Moriyama Teshima Leif worked on several projects and pursuits were his knowledge of several software platforms and keen interest in design progression were essential to the team. Post Lofts, Oshawa, ON I worked closely with Leif on an 11 storey mass timber development in Oshawa, ON where his knowledge of Rhino, Sketchup, Revit, and Enscape allowed for quick and efficient design iterations and visualization throughout the schematic design phase of the project. Leif researched design precedents, municipal space-planning standards, technical design guidelines related to the implementation of prefabricated envelope panels and showed enthusiasm to learn more about mass timber construction. He was tasked with developing and refining building façade panels and layouts that could easily be reproduced and installed to facilitate a fast-paced mass timber construction process. Leif contributed to team design charettes, structural coordination meetings, and attended client presentations where his discerning design sensibility was appreciated and well communicated. Leif was also a pleasure to work with. He adapted well to schedule fluctuations typical of working with developers and managed his time to complete all deliverables on time. He approached every task with a great attitude and fit well into the collaborative culture of our studio. Leif left Moriyama Teshima in good standing to return to continue his education. We thank him for his contributions to our work and wish him success in his personal and professional future. Sincerely,
Will Klassen M.arch OAA MRAIC Associate

Located on Bear’s Den Bay in the French River National Park, Fleuve is an outpost and three season lodge, studying water conse r vation and the hydrology of the great lakes and Georgian Bay. With a focus on practic ing researchers, scientist, volunteers and students, Fleuve blends the quotidian, recreational and research aspect of the day to day. Fleuve is separated into three distinctive zones: recreation, leisure and living, with each zone engaging the water in a unique way, with a corresponding dock and intended aquatic pro gram

At the merger of King and Queen street east in Toronto, the underpass ser ves as a unique kind of public librar y for the neighborhood. Focusing on developing life long skills and communit y, the small communal kitchen and court yard space help create a place of rest at the, of ten busy three way intersection, as a place to learn, eat, relax and work. Dou bling as both a librar y and communit y kitchen, the underpass hopes to at tract the local demographic of young adults to an intersection which now largely ser ves a s a chaotic bus stop.

The Underpass is located at the intersection of three major neighbourhoods in Toronto, along the Don Valley. This placement at the three way merge of King street, Queen street and River street causes this intersection to act more like a “pitstop”, where in people coming from their houses to the North or condos to the South get on and off streetcars, either going to or coming back from work. The Underpass strives to foster community in this “pitstop”, turning an intersection into a destination.

Spanning 75m across Hell’s Gate Canyon near Rimouski, Quebec, Limbo bridges the intermediar y space bet ween the freezing river below and the open sky above. While crossing, the susp ended bridge teeters on the edge of uncertain t y —the plummet below being visible throughout the entiret y of its crossing. Visible at the middle is the five kilometer canyon, framed by the six meter diameter oculus, suspended sixt y three meters in the air. The structure mimics the constant tension bet ween the views below, out wards, and upwards, which are felt as the trail reaches and opens up to the canyon.
