Re: Recommendation for Nancy Yeh To whom it may concern, I recently had the pleasure of working with Nancy while she was on a work term period (May – September 2019) at our Toronto offices of Perkins& Will (P&W). I was Nancy’s supervisor over number of tasks and projects during this period. She proved herself to be outstanding in her collaborative approach and integrate quickly within the project team. While at P&W, she worked on several projects at varying scales and was able to shift to tasks of varying complexity without any difficulty. The tasks on these projects ranged from making physical models to digital model later 3D printed. The projects included architectural and large-scale interiors projects – She worked on the design and building permit drawings for the interior renovation for the Social Service Network (SSN) – a Pro Bono project as part of P&W Social Responsibility Initiative for 2019. She was also part of the team for a largescale interior renovation of Microsoft offices in Toronto. The Microsoft project comprised of 130,000 square feet (at approximately $30m contract value) – Nancy worked as part of a team to produce the construction documents. Nancy was professional, diligent, and methodical in her approach – she communicated and worked effectively within the team. Her comments were always insightful to the task at hand, and more importantly she always asked good questions.

She also had minor involvement in the RBC Borealis feasibility study, and The McArthur Hall Renovation Project at Queens University, and the Western (University) Entrepreneurship and Innovation Centre. These projects, as is often the case, were on a very strict time schedule, requiring the whole team to work in a rigorous, and efficient manner. Nancy very quickly proved herself to be reliable and invaluable in her focused approach on every task. She is very hands‐on with her approach to everything she does while handling multiple tasks while ensuring each is executed promptly and efficiently.

Lastly, her versatility with the use of different computer software, allowed her to carve out a distinct role for herself within the team. She always had the confidence and respect of her colleagues. What she lacked in practical experience, she more than made up through her enthusiasm and quick succinct responses. Her ability to engage the issues at hand, question and offer suggestions to a given problem often helped in making decisions towards achieving the required milestones. Nancy has a great future as an architect and will be an asset to any project and practice. I whole heartedly recommend her and look forward to following her progress. If you require any further information, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

RE: LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION FOR NANCY YEH

December 22, 2018 Dear Sir / Madam, To whom it may concern, Diamond Schmitt Architects (DSAI) are very pleased to recommend Nancy Yeh following her Waterloo Co-op work term from September to December 2018 in the capacity of Student Architect.

During her work term at DSAI Vancouver, Nancy collaborated with teams on two large scale residential projects, Mirvish Village in Toronto and Oakridge redevelopment, a large scale complex high-rise residential project in Vancouver, BC. Nancy adapted well to the project and team structures and quickly became a valuable team member.

For the Oakridge project, Nancy focused on the interior layouts and prepared Revit drawings for the Design Development phase. Her involvement on Mirvish included the development of unit layouts.

With her proficiency in most design and graphic software, Nancy also helped out designing graphic posters for the NLA office event, demonstrating good graphic design skills.

Nancy has also demonstrated commitment to her work, was responsible and put effort to achieve the scope assigned to her efficiently. Nancy’s contribution was greatly appreciated by the team.

We are confident Nancy would be a positive asset to any firm that hires her and wish her all the best in her future endeavors.

Sincerely,

Ana Maria Llanos, Architect AIBC, OAA, MRAIC Principal

YORK COMMONS STUDENT RESIDENCE

York Commons is a student residence located inseide the York Univerisity and it consists two residential towers which are connected by a U-shaped amenity podium at the lower floors follow by two wings where the west wing leans more toward arts and music and it consits amenities such as theatre and music rooms where on the east side leans more toward physical activities with a gym and a running track. Both wings are connected by a central collective dining area and a hybrid of integrated mixed use space.

The major architectural movement is the feature stairs that connect the two residential tower and in the meantime lead toward the collective dining space.

Steel Design Brief The form of the building is two residential towers connected with a U-shaped amenity podium at the lower floors. The north residential tower follows a 8mx8m grid system with steel framing and concrete cores for all programs above grade and the east residential tower follows a 8m x 6m grid system with a 8-floor atrium seperating the structure in two parts. The podium has a different grid because there are open spans for voids like gymnasium and theatre but it generally lines up with the grid system above just with larger columns and the middle columns removed. For the most part, this column grid carries loads all the way to the ground, however there are some instances in the podium where transfer beams are required because it has to support a different and larger grid system (open span).

The running track on the east tower is hanging on top of the gymnasium and requires hangers in order to support itself. Also, there are feature stair structures in the atrium that requires additional hangers to support itself. Spaces where the steel structure should be aesthetically pleasing include the east tower’s atrium space mentioned above, as well as the light industrial and public amenities space on the lower floors where the steel framing is exposed.

Stuctural Axo S-W View

Concerns One concern for my project would be the large open span for the public amentity spaces on the podium levels. The podium also has to support and carry loads from several residential floors above which will then require huge columns at the podium levels. As mentioned above, a concern for lateral bracing would be the south end of the east residential tower where there are no core but cross bracings at each side.

Other key spaces that may require special attention would be the hanging runnig track and the feature stairs in the atrium where a lot of hagers would be required in order to make the structure stiff. However, all of these elements are not extreme as they have been done in the past.

Lateral Systems Due to the form of my building, for circulation and fire safety reasons, there is a concrete core located at the centre and each end of every tower except the south end of the east tower. There is a total of 5 main cores and one additional one on the west of the amenity level. I am assuming that the provided 5 cores are sufficient lateral bracing in all directions for 24m x 88m floor plates. Also, I added the core at the corner where the two towers meet to make my building structure extra lateral restrained. The shear walls in the residential portion of the project in the west act as a secondary system that would help with lateral bracing. The concern is that there is no core in the south end of the east tower and would be subjected to heavy wind load due to its height. I added cross bracing on each side of the residential units (diagram below) to prevent this problem.

LISTENING TO THE “OTHER” CENTRE FOR RECONCILIATION

The idea behind the project is about reconciliation. The rich entry condition brings in the existing park and act like a building extension t o lead, to gather, and to reflect, inviting encouragements a nd conversations a s people ascend into t he building. B y having circular paths and atrium g athering spaces, t he design speaks the language of putting people a t the same level. Interior meeting rooms and major conversation spaces are designed to accommodate circular meetings, creating t he notion o f gathering and t he n otion of social interaction between different stakeholders.

Planting strategy The exsisting park is located north of the site, therefore, the project is designed with a rich vegetated entry plaza where it acts like a extended park from the north. Green walls and roofs are implmented to block high-frequency sounds, and also block low-frequency noises when constructed with a substrate or growing medium support. It has a planting strategy that allows the building to beome an iconic green space in busy Toronto urban centre.

Solar orientation The project is located where the living wall, PV covered south facing slopes and openings are deliberately designed and positioned to maximize direct sun exposure, as well as north facing windows that introduce light into the main occupancy areas and atrium. Boxed windows are designed at the south side to act as a shading device to block high summer sunlights. Low winter sunlight enters the building to passivevly heat during cold months.

Wind orientation Acording to wind data from Billy Bishop Airport at Toronto Island (1985-2014), the predominant wind direction in the area is east-northeast and west-southwest. Therefore the building is design to allow for abundant cross ventilation during summer. There are generous openings at the north-south side to allow natural ventilation passive cooling strategy.

Roof Structure: Waffle Roof Glulam Beams

Inuit arts and performing arts are at the heart of inuit culture. It varies from region to region from Canadian’s own Inuit Nunangat to Greenland and Norway. There are multiple cultural centres and indeginous buildings across the world that were built to support these indegenous traditions and their precious arts and events. Inuit performing arts are not only essential to their culture but also has great economic impact in Structural Support: Timber Columns

Canada. Artists then also travel to circumpolar countries to promote their cultures and build upon art and economy. Organizations such as Qaggiavut in Iqaluit and Artcirq in Igloolik are examples of existing Inuit performing arts community in Nunavut that strengthen, promote and advocate young inuit performing artist, yet there are none in Nunavik. Therefore we propose to build a space in Kuujjuaq, the largest Inuit population in Nunavik, for the performing arts to be created, learned and presented through a post secondary education and programs.

MVRDV Rotterdam, Netherlands Co-op Internship, 2020 March - COVID Architectural Intern

I was in the 2020 Spring internship cohort and joined the Studio 6 (Dutch Studio) The Hub Competition Team. The main task I was working on was the pre design/ schematic design phase, including preparing site analysis, and groundwork research of the selected site (Schinkel, in the ring of Amsterdam). The proposed design is a mix-used commertial office building planning to accomodate a variety of programs. The concept is to have vertical void in the center with major program functions in boxes wrapping the mezzanine-like atrium, making loop connection to all floors. During my time there, I worked on materiality studies, entrance studies, circulation studies, facade and balcony studies, and potential public and semi-public programs organizations.

HLW International LLP New York City, United States Co-op Internship, 2018 January -April Architectural Intern

I had an 4-month architectural Co-op internship in HLW International LLP head quarter office in New York, and I was assigned to work in the base building department. I spent the majority of my time with the architectural team and I completed a variety of design tasks including design research, developing 3D models and renderings, preparing for presentations, bidding documentation, and construction documentation with assist of team members. I also developed my revit skill during my 4 month intership at HLW as I was working on revit for the majority of the time.

I’ve worked on many different project types such as high-rise residential towers, hotel renovation as well as interior design at many different phases of the project. The rendering above and the work beside is a design proposal that I worked on for an office building lobby renovation in New York City. I’ve also worked on architectural graphics and rederings such as presentation packages and Donor’s book.
