Fil m - Ex Located in the heart of Toronto Port lands, Film-Ex is a multipurpose cultural hub aimed to act as the main catalyst in the planned redevelopment of the area.

It's programmable and formal organizations are derived from both existing and purposed conditions of its context. In the center of the facility sits the existing Portland's incinerator plant. The plant has been repurposed to house the film archive both in physical and digital format. On the east side of the

incinerator is a new learn & work facility dedicated to the purposed live & work redevelopment of the west lot. On the west side of the incinerator sits the main feature of Film-Ex, a theatre facility containing a 1200 person and two 100 person screening theatres that are reconfigurable to a proscenium , t hrust, and arena type stage configurations. It is readily available to host multiple fi lm festivals, expositions, and other live events.

This axonometric drawing shows the purposed scheme for the larger Toronto Portland film hub.

Following the idea of a divergent core for the city, this site is equipped with both cultural and productive operations.

Its programmatical and formal organization strategies are derived from its context and existing roadways.

Morphology

1. Landscape intrudes onto site. 2. Due to market at grade, landscape is lifted. Office block also determined based on views and density. 3. Landscape plane folded down for access. 4 . Cultural bar placed. 5 .

Landscape further folded up to meet cultural center, also for market daylighting. 6. Idea of terrace continued through office tower. Mesh formal ly continues the folding gesture.

Liberty Center is a high density multi-programmed building located in the heart of Liberty Village, Toronto.

The building is a hub for retail, cultural, and commercial use & needs. The center piece of this building is a massive three tier public exterior plaza

Liberty Centre and garden that is readily accessible by the public.

This public space can also take on the role of the living room of Liberty Village, with its exterior amphitheater, its excellent views of Lake Ontario, and its welcoming greenery

ARCHITECT URE WATERLOOARCHITECTURE CAMBRIDGE June 9, 2014 To whom it may concern: Prof. Maya Pryzbylski and I employed Mr. Rui Hu over the past winter during hi s first Work Term. Mr. Hu is a second year student in the Architecture program at the University of Waterloo. Mr. Hu worked exclusively with me for the entire month of April. 1 am mounting a program of exhibitions and events under the banner Building Waterloo Region , which consists of eight exhibitions and other events exploring the hi story, present condition and future design and construction in one of the most vibrant and fastest growing areas in Canada. In particular the exhibitions mark the launch of construction of the new public transit infrastructure.

Mr. ITu made a crucial contribution in the relatively short time he worked with the Building Waterloo Region team. He designed and created the website, (www. buildingwa~rloorcgion . ca) which has been remarkably successful and drawn attention from around the world. The site is technically excellent, clear and efficient to use and elegant and engaging in conveying information and the excitement of the events.

It is mobile friendly as well.

Mr. Hu also did photography, graphic design and layout as well as research and database construction. He was also involved in the creation of exhibition backdrops. Mr. Hu is a wonderful collaborator. Ask him to do almost anything in design, graphics and digital media. He responds immediately, works diligently and productively, shows consistently good judgment, handles a variety of digital technologies expertly and delivers extremely high quality work. He is a modest and restrained, but his confidence is solid and well founded on ability, insight and judgment. He was a pleasure to work with. I recommend him without reservation.
