ARC100Drawing & Representation

Corithean Columns Instructor: Vivian Lee & Matthew De Santis

11/12/2021

Inspired by my dorm residence, I wanted to explore my house’s historical Victorian features, such as Corinthian columns, bay windows, and the turret. This house was completed in 1892. Each doorway and window are framed with decorative Corinthian columns, represented in my axo, plan, and elevation.

Brutalist Playground Instructor: Brady Peters & Reem Abdelaal

17/12/2021

Inspired by the Spartan Obstacle Courses, this Brutalist-inspired structure prompts parkour-like activities to move through the different levels, spaces, and obstacles. It enables people to walk, climb, and use their agility to move through the area.

Organic Twist

Instructor: Nicholas Hoban & Anthony

Mattacchione

04/04/2021

This organic tower twists with circular call-outs that offer a dynamic light and view with its kinetic Facade that opens and closes according to the sun. The tower emphasizes minimalism and harmony with manufactured elements and the natural world. The tension of the rotation allows the tower to be structurally stable and decreases wind loads to offer less sway, which is vital for the desert climate.

5 Concrete Flooring Triple-Glazed Windows Kinetic Facade Wall Support Concrete Columns Core Concrete Columns Concrete Flooring Kinetic facade is almost closed since closest point (Sun) not shining in that area. Kinetic Facade open in one area with closest point to show sun directing towards that area. Kinetic Facade opened entirely since the sun (closet point) shining within that entire area. Final Tower Geometry Create organic twisting using the Graph Mapper Component with a Perlin graph for an organic rotation. Create core column and supporting columns for strucutre of tower using center of each ellipse area per floor. Strucutral component of tower shown within each floorplate extruding upwards in an Organic manner. Seperate semi-ellipse part of tower by Deconstructing the Brep and creating a Cull List for each side. Seperate flat wall of tower to create kinetic window facade using LunchBox and ClosePt Components. Create hexagonal polygon base and extrude to height of building Add circles (ellipses) at vertices of polygon using End Point Component Trim overlapping shapes and combine into a curve using Region Union Component. Make 30 floors using the Z-axis to input a floor height of 3m extruded using the Contour component. Divide 30 floors with a height of 3m illustrated and each having a floor thickness of 0.32m.

Walkability in Yorkville Avenue

Instructor: Roberto Damiani & Micheal Piper

09/12/2022

Yorkville Avenue is between Avenue Road and Bay Street, two of Toronto’s busiest streets. Despite this, it remains a threshold away from the city since it has vast green areas, no heavy trafﬁc like street cars and car parking, and limited transit lines. The cobblestone material of Yorkville Avenue creates a physical barrier that adds to the sense of separation from the city. This interconnectivity and circulation of Yorkville Avenue’s street network promotes walkability for pedestrians and upkeeps the aesthetically pleasing and walkable street.

Almost Nothing

Volume Pavilion: “To Breathe”

Instructor: Fiona Lim Tung & Daniel Briker

10/04/2023

The pathway entrance ﬂows like a river through the pavilion and connects the site to the building interior, illustrating the verb “To Breath.” In addition, trees and a grassy ﬁeld were added to the site beside Goldring Center to create a calming effect upon entry and exit of this private sphere. As a result, all spaces have a sense of isolated relaxation, almost lifting the user away.
