Villa in Bucharest Office of Adrian Phiffer Yuki Creighton Soroush Ehsani-Yeganeh Priscilla Barker Sense of place and place making is manifested in the Villa located in Bucharest- a multi user house inspired by traditional Gypsy patterns and castles seen throughout Romania.

Juxtaposing a thick shell exterior, guarded by a double height door and metal ornamentation, the house is a sculpture, an object, and entity.

Centered on the site, peering against soft green vegetation, the metal house is honest in its inviation. Internally, its warm and caressed by an off-set structural beam system. Wrapping the user in its embrace, the house defines a sense of presence, existence, and brutal use.

On Fun Folly & Frivolity ARC462 Laura Miller Daniels Faculty of Architecture Landscape & Design Public space is charged by its adaptability and ability to service the collective.

However, increasingly the regimentation of the city and its various routines, optimizes efficiencies and dilutes exchange between users and their environments, undermining the potency of public space. In order to transform such rigid and isolating effects, solutions extending beyond the mundane must be employed. Through enacting play as a tool of conviviality- in the sense of acting for one's own enjoyment rather than to achieve a goal, increasing interconnectivity between persons- a newfound sense of common space can be curated.

Temporary House ARC361 Adrian Phiffer Daniels Faculty of Architecture Landscape & Design Designing a house that is temporary in its program and presence on the site, where the walls are porous and able to be rendered completely out of sight was a challenge.

Beginning with the obliteration of the original site and reconstructing it, revealed this idea of modularity- forming the primary framework for this house: time and incompleteness.

The house is in constant motion, rendering ordinary domestic objects and spaces mobile through gentle gestures.

Divided into a public courtyard and library on the ground floor, and private residence on the second floor, the programmed spaces are fluid and enhanced by modular multi-purpose furniture.

The temporality and ever-changing nature of the project is a response to climate change, material decay, and the densification of the urban environment.

Borders Lines & Territories ARC465 Anne Marie Armstrong Daniels Faculty of Architecture Landscape & Design The University of Toronto St. George Campus (UTSG) is laced with implicit and explicit boundaries that blur territories of ownership and access, curating an imposing dominance over the city of Toronto.

Provoking the subtle privatization of public space emergent through juxtaposition, UTSG's tamed nature distinguishes itself as an institutionalized space within the metropolis, dividing and claiming space, the UTSG creates an interconnected web of border conditions that disguise the intangible limitations of accessibility, diversity, and inclusion through illusions of prestige and institutionalized dogma.

Systematically and ideologically, the College system creates hierarchies of borders that reveal the subtle exclusion of students and staff under the framework of gender bias, as well as racial and financial inequality. In contrast to the formal unity reflected across Campus, moments of exclusion are hidden in the fine print and vary drastically between Colleges.

By examining the implications of soft borders, as reflected in architecture and iconography in relation to socio-political structures of oppression, hard borders that foster a sense of unequal access to opportunity across Campus were revealed.

Consequently, the urban unity of planned and pruned space masks the discrepancies that create controlled boundaries that operate within an institutionalized framework.

The University of Toronto, alongside its federated and non-federated College Universities, operate upon the ancestral land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and most recently the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Turtle Island and its colonial history has utilized academia to subdue Indigenous culture and abuse communities under the framework of assimilation. Therefore, as stated by the Final Report of the Steering Committee for the University of Toronto Response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, the University of Toronto has been complicit in the oppression of Indigenous people of Turtle Island.

Truth and Reconciliation The University of Toronto, alongside its federated and non-federated College Universities, operate upon the ancestral land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and most recently the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Turtle Island and its colonial history has utilized academia to subdue Indigenous culture and abuse communities under the framework of assimilation. Therefore, as stated by the Final Report of the Steering Committee for the University of Toronto Response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, the University of Toronto has been complicit in the oppression of Indigenous people of Turtle Island. The University, as well as its federated and non-federated Colleges must act to respect and further the goals of the National Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Action must take fold over the short and long term period, however, each College must be held responsible for creating systems and spaces that encourage Indigenous success and promote systems of reconciliation. Colleges play an integral role in fostering a safe and inclusive spaces within the University at large. The small intimate scale of the Colleges often exaggerate the soft border conditions that exist for BIPOC students. This introduction aims to acknowledge that the land in which the University and Colleges operate upon are borrowed land. The introduction aims to make explicit that the standardized land acknowledgement commonly practiced across the UTSG Campus is RSX WYƾGMIRX MR GVIEXMRK MRGPYWMZI ERH WEJI WTEGIW for BIPOC students and staff.

A border condition highlighted is of St. Michael’s College and their lack of representation, services, and spaces for the purpose of Truth and Reconciliation.

The particular endorsement of BIPOC friendly spaces will be able to bridge the disproportionate rate of graduation for BIPOC students Residence Space Woodsworth College contains 370 residence spaces in total across campus, thus promoting a more inclusive with 5062 students.

This number demonstrates that Woodsworth provides residence space for only 7% of its students.

Government Funding (OSAP) Woodsworth College has the greatest number of students who apply for government aid at 60%, in contrast with Trinity College which has the lowest amount at 43%. This fact could showcase the lack of adequate scholarships, grants, and bursaries that Woodsworth provides for its students.

Unfurl Residences ARC362 Christopher Cornicelli Daniels Faculty of Architecture Landscape & Design A student residence designed to bring together students of the arts into one space in order to promote collaboration, curiosity and creativity through sensorial program spaces. The curvature is present in elevation, plan, and section- guiding, uniting, and presenting the question of what is laying around the corner- thus promoting curiosity and wonder.

From plan the structure cuts a seam between the Spadina and Sussex through a concourse composed of a public theatre to the South East, and community garden to the South West. The curvature of the building connects Spadina and Sussex through its elevated ground floor via the ramping system which emerges from the street level- therefore providing a sheltered walkway for pedestrians during the winter and fall months.

The doubly curved facade which serves as the primary structure, plays a role in curating framed views internally, as well as, curating a rupture in which the landscape flows into the torqued roof. Evident in the roof plan, the bulbous forms of the facade create the actual shape of the ramping floor plate, and amplify the organic relationship between the site and structure.
