PLAN PARTI: The intention behind the design of the plan was to create a circulation path that allows users to seamlessly use the building as a shortcut, connecting the residential community to Queen Street. This parti also highlights major features, including the structural grid and the central atrium.
ELEVATION PARTI: This drawing is a representation of the building in elevation. It shows the vertical circulation path that begins elements are another major feature of the design; they are resting points which people can use to take a break and admire the site.

02 THE PARKDALE LIBRARY DEVELOPMENT
Year: 3rd Year
Project: Library Partner: Desiree Llanes
This project is a continuation of The Parkdale Library. We worked in pairs to further develop the project in more detail. My partner and I decided to take the most critical components from our designs and mix them into one. This lead to a deeper study of spaces and their relationship to one another.
SECTIONAL MODEL
The site on Queen St. West gave us an opportunity to utilize the building as a community hub. Our design approach to the building was to immediately address the surrounding environment. The main focus of the building is to create a sense of connectivity through variations of openness, transparency, and the intertwine of different spaces.

This design build project was an amazing experience, teaching me more about teamwork, how to break down the design into smaller components, and how to use many new tools. This was one of my favorites experience during my bachelors degree. T h e F l o a
The Floating Garden is a versatile space where people may seek a moment of rest for the chaotic city of Toronto. The installation has three different modules which can be rearranged.
