FRAMEWORK CLASS: Building Construction 2 | ARCH 173 ADVISOR: Justin Breggs COLLABORATORS: Michael Salib, Danny Pham With an increasing population of various diasporas and nearly 80% of inhabitants identifying as visible minorities, Markham is quickly becoming a hub of rising immigrants and entrepreneurs ready to take on the Canadian dream. This shift has instigated rapid urbanization within the city, particularly in the downtown area. However, while current development ambitiously addresses sustainable and economic growth, it appears to neglect Markham’s rich cultural history, failing to reflect its people. Framework is located in the heart of downtown Markham, adjacent to many developing lots of land, with the goal of highlighting the immense role that culture plays within the city. Using a system of steel modules that contain multiple voids, Framework is a place where Markham residents can showcase their small businesses, gather, and most importantly, keep culture at the epicenter of the city. Occupying 2500 square metres of land, and housing different programs — such as numerous vending booths, seating areas, a performance stage, and more — the market creates a mosaic that is reflective of the city’s existing and growing cultural and urban identity.

MATERIAL & ASSEMBLY DETAILS Due to the scale of the site, it was decided for Framework to use a modular approach to design. A single structure of galvanized steel with different patterns of galvanized metal screens and a combination of PVC mesh fabric, outdoor fabric and fabric handwoven by members in the community is repeated at different scales throughout the structure. There is a total of nine modules used for the market. This approach allows for a relatively easy fabrication process.

TKARONTO LIBRARY CLASS: Design Studio | ARCH 193 ADVISOR: Cameron Perkin Located beside a Wigwamen Indigenous Housing complex, the Tkaronto Library engages with the surrounding community to establish a permanent place for Toronto’s Indigenous history and community to grow. Whether or not the occupants identify as Indigenous, the library teaches everyone who walks through the doors something about Indigenous history or culture. Through programs of learning, healing and gathering, Tkaronto Library successfully breaks the presence of “white space” and creates a place where western and traditional can meet and learn from each other, all while contributing to reconciliation.

COMMUNITY KITCHEN: occupants can participate in cooking programs where they will learn traditional foods and recipes using local ingredients found in the library’s central community garden. The kitchen also provides a connection to the street to allow for outside learning and awareness.
CHILDREN’S AREA: interactive language wall will teach children simple English to Ojibwe translations (one of the leading Indigenous languages native to the Toronto area). The library also holds children books written by Indigenous authors.

FORT SCHNEIDER CLASS: Design Studio | ARCH 193 ADVISOR: Cameron Perkin Fort Schneider is nestled in the opening of a dense forest located in Schneider Park beside the Grand River. The site was chosen for its immense public use of the adjacent Grand River Trails, fishing location and active canoe route. With that in mind, Fort Schneider craves to be the start or end to someone’s day and the resting point after all this activity. The pavilion is created through a series of cubes extruded to different heights then rotated at 20 degrees which allow for ample seating, surfaces for climbing, as well as openings and views into the forest. Overall, Fort Schneider aims to be the centre of many social interactions as well as a spot for private seclusion away from the city — much like the intentions of a child’s tree fort.

THE SUNNYSIDE VILLA CLASS: Environmental Building Design | ARCH 126 ADVISOR: Anna Beznogova PARTNER: Sarah Abdulkarim Within the Chilliwack Municipality, the Sunnyside Villa becomes the peak of sustainable design on Cultus Lake. Throughout the current climate crisis, water homes have become a reliable and eco-friendly solution to rising sea levels. Through strategies of several active systems, daylighting, shading, natural ventilation, and renewable energy, this construction is completely off-grid and provides a low-energy sanctuary for the occupants. As the lake gets tested weekly to monitor the bacteriological quality of the water, the Sunnyside Villa houses two scientists who are responsible for the health and safety of the swimmers. This ensures the public beach is satisfactory for physical, chemical and biological reasons at all times.

Regarding the design, the building uses wood planks reused from old cottages located in the surrounding area, along with recycled steel members for the supports in the water. With that, solar windows, railings and siding are installed to provide renewable energy and aesthetics to the façade. Therefore, the overall embodied
carbon and energy consumption of the building is significantly reduced. In addition, a biophilic design approach has been used to better enhance user connectivity to the natural surroundings and promote a peaceful destination. This includes the garden wall that is irrigated through the grey water system, as well as the gardens on the lower deck that are used for growing food for the occupants.

THE AMENITY LOFTS CLASS: Design Studio | ARCH 292 ADVISOR: Rick Haldenby The Amenity Lofts focus on compact living to accommodate the influx of residents in the Waterloo Region over the past few years. Each apartment adopts this “hide-and-seek” concept, where when something is needed it appears, and when it isn’t needed, it disappears. This minimalist approach ultimately helps with productivity, stress and focus. A system of cabinets, along the perimeter of each room, stores several varying programs that the resident may desire when living there. By doing this, each apartment can substantially decrease in size, allowing an abundant of communal spaces to open up. With a community kitchen, work space, fitness centre and enlarged balconies that include a play area, putting green and rocking climbing wall, the apartment complex has all the amenities one could want. Overall, The Amenity Lofts functions on this public vs private system, where there are community spaces for people to learn, grow and connect, and small living quarters for occupants to relax and debrief from the world around them.

THE 24/7 THEATRE CLASS: Design Studio | ARCH 292 ADVISOR: Rick Haldenby The 24/7 Thea/re is a hyper-active community hub that honours Downtown Kitchener’s rich culture and creative spirit. As many theatres are closed during the day, the industry generates a lot of wasted real estate and money. The 24/7 Thea/re challenges this norm by maximizing the program and activities offered to the public. With every space serving several programs and thereby supporting this theme of duality, the 24/7 Thea/re attracts a wide number of diverse individuals. The theatre invites friends, families, and neighbours to the heart of the Civic Centre to celebrate the transformation of this building both inside and out as it shifts from old to new, and day to night.
