The three story 7000 Sq M building is designed for the Syrian refugees escaping civil war in Syria into Canada. The experience and transition to new life in Canada is different for every newcomer, as they adjust to their new home. The overall outcomes of Syrian refugees’ resettlement and integration experiences are positive, showing encouraging trends in terms of their adjustment to life in Canada and participation in society.
Grand Street
Blair Road
Project located at the intersection of Grand Street and Blaire The main entrance is from Grand Street and the secondary access from Baire street to provideaccess for vehicles and pedestrian.
The design concept is to create a welcoming environment that is reflective of the refugee’s culture. The planning concept and programing is to adhere to the building’s users and provide different area for the adults and children. Building envelope concept is to create a dynamic balance between window fenestration and solid. Building material and texture is breakdown the overall building massing.
The building program is stacked from public to semiprivate and private functions as follows;
▪ Ground level: lobby function, building core, childcare and children playroom.
▪ First level: is for parents and includes community room, kitchen, library and conference room.
▪ Second level: meditation room, consultation and language classroom.
The design intent is to create an intuitive design and articulate each level with design elements that are reflective of its population and its use.
The “perfect wall”.A perfect wall is to minimize energy waste and is designed for the Ontario climate.
The wall system is layered and includes thermal control layer, air and vapor barriers and is located on the exterior side of the structure.
The wall concept is based on an open-air principle with ability to equalize air pressures and allow ventilation inside of wall cavity.

Interlace Urban Promenade
Group -3
The junior design studio was divided into three groups for this site-specific urban re-development project. Each group had to follow the established project guideline including land use, zoning and program requirement.
The proposed site location (Finch and Weston) is desirable for urban re-development and benefits from the new light Rail Train (LRT) construction. In addition, the real state study shows that area is suitable investment for high density residential units.
Mater Plan objective is to create mixed-use development with higher density residential, office and commercial retail projects.
Proposed Site Location
Interlace Urban Promenade
Buildings are oriented on the South West axis to maximize solar exposure for the residence and the public plaza.
Delivering shared value requires community engagement. The buildings site planning recognizes the need for large public plaza that creates an opportunity for community to interact and socialize. The public space is a critical elements in urban renewal projects and offers an identity and landmark for much needed social interaction. The plaza also creates a contextual elements and brings back the temporary shelter for the neighborhood shopping experience. Given the winter cold climate in the Toronto area, an enclosed public area has been added for community use including art exhibitions, art and grafts, community meeting and education classes.
Community public area includes space for art exhibitions, art and grafts and community use. In addition to the solar angle, greenhouse element and orientation, the building massing concept is to create an identifiable architecture and a landmark to enhance community sense of orientation and belonging.
Interlace Urban Promenade
NATURAL VENTILATION
Cross-flow and passive stack ventilation is the most effective passive natural ventilation. The strategy is to use a combination of cross ventilation, buoyancy (warm air rising) and the venturi (wind passing over the terminals causing suction) effect
SOLAR ORIENTATION
SUN ANGLE
The building massing is formed by the sun angle in the month of Jun and creates a directional axis to the building entrance from the plaza. The deign strategy is to reduce sun exposure in summer and maximize solar gain in the winter.

The impact of LRT on housing prices
According to the market impact study, the LRT walkable access to transit on this site, will increase the demand for housing and increase in property value.
The LRT will have the positive impact for residential land values as the transit service will provide easier movement along corridor.

visual axis (Spine) connecting Bloor street to the MOCA
MOCA Gateway Garden
Site Context : the site is used to be occupied by the Toronto Museum of contemporary Art (MOCA) and currently is used as small park attraction a lot of artists from the surrounding community.
Site organization: The planning concept is to create a symbolic visual axis (Spine) to connect the Bloor street from north to the MOCA’s new location in the south.
The design concept has two components:
1. Create a sequence of green biodiversity walls along the visual spine providing opportunities for functional intimate spaces.
2. The open spaces between the green walls is intended for community social interaction, cultural and artistic events.
The “ Garden” spatial organization incorporates design elements that creates strong sense of a place, where people come together and where connected spaces create an experience. The idea is to establish a balance based on scale/proportion, sequence and unity.
The MOCA garden explores the boundary and threshold between landscape and architecture with spatial definition and relationship that creates intentional outdoor rooms.
MOCA Gateway Garden
The green biodiversity walls: The experiment of bringing wildlife to the garden is to add another level of interaction between nature, people and architecture. The biodiversity wall planting concept is to bring back birds, butterflies, beneficial insects and other wildlife to the area.
The idea of bringing wildlife to the garden is also to enhance the SENSE of PLACE and reinforce relationship and meanings in landscape architecture as the hanging garden transformed through seasonal change.
Aroma: In Toronto area many different plant species thrive. To evoke sense of smell, the chosen plant palettes are to produce aroma that defines the character of a space.
Sound:. The train movement along the site act as narrator and is a reminder of the local community history. The green walls layering is to reflect a dynamic movement through the main spine with a notion of traveling sound.
The new pedestrian bridge connects the bicycle path and communities to the future development at the west side of train track. The neighborhoods in this area attracts a large artistic population that aids revitalization and urban re-development.
