CONTENT MODEL CONSTRUCTION TIFF BELL LIGHTBOX SENS CATHEDRAL My name is Shevaun Mistry; and I am current candidate for the M.Arch program at the College of Art, Architecture, and Planning at Cornell University and will be entering my third year in the Fall. I am a Canadian born architect, designer, and artist that is seeking constant growth through a variety of education and experiences. I have a strong interest in physical model making to better help analyzing objects to discover their inner workings. Understanding the impact structures and occupancy have on the built environment and their surroundings, and how they can provide a cleaner future or positive impact.

MODEL CONSTRUCTION

SENS CATHEDRAL

Course: ARCH 193 Design Studio Type: Site Model, 3mm millboard Location: Toronto, Canada Duration: 2-3 weeks Collaborators: Justin Lai, Jack Lipson, Tristan Roberton, Shevaun Mistry The selected project site was located in a lot across from the TIFF Bell Lightbox designed

by KPMB architects in Toronto, Ontario. Along with a small group of students our role was to document and model the site and its surrounding buildings in a withstanding manner for the entire first year class to use during their final critiques. Based off of on-site photographs and available resources we created s 3D model, drafted Auto CAD cut sheet files, laser cut, and assembled the model over a matter of weeks. The model was designed with a void in place of the selected site for student to place their own model within the surrounding context.

Course: ARCH 246: Cultural History 3: WEST FACADE Foundations of Europe Type: Site Model, 3mm millboard Location: Sens, France Duration: 2-3 weeks Collaborators: Anne Sewell, Andrew Lord, Charlie Gao, Shevaun Mistry

SOUTH ENTRANCE

This cathedral was part of a larger project that compared religious buildings throughout the world. Each model featured something unique which was outlined in a concurrent essay. The Sens Cathedral’s was one of the first cathedrals to be built in the gothic architectural style and featured such elements as flying buttresses and arches that related to the structure and aesthetic.

My focus was on the North and South facades that housed the flying buttresses. Based off of internet documentation the facades were drawn into separate cut sheets in Auto CAD, laser cut, and assembled over a period of a couple weeks.

QUARTA & ARMANDO DESIGN RESEARCH

PROFESSIONAL WORK

Shanghai, China 2019 Founded by two Italian architects, the firm is a design and research-based office that has completed a variety of projects throughout China. QAADR’s goal is to see an entire project through and is executed across their attention to detail in every element ranging from landscaping to interior design and not just focusing on the built process. My position here allowed me to interact with clients to discuss their vision for the space, observe and document on site details, create construction drawings and design freely in a communicative space.

Project: Allora, restaurant 3 Type: Retail Space, Landscape Location: Shanghai, China Duration: Spring/Summer 2019 Collaborators: QAADR Project: Allora, restaurant 1 Type: Interior Design Location: Shanghai, China Duration: Spring/Summer 2019 Collaborators: QAADR After a few successful years the primary Allora location wanted to revitalize their interior look while still being able to feature their products. This led to a study of dimensioning common products to create an abstract storage wall that featured their wine and other gourmet Italian delicacies.

Allora is a restaurant with a focus on Italian goods, food, and drinks that began opening multiple locations during my time at QAADR. Working as chief designer for the third location of Allora, this project allowed me to design an interior market space, an outdoor dining and lounge area, and a VIP dining area in a three-phase construction plan. I worked closely with the client to incorporate all key features he had in mind and achieve a desirable design for the location.

Beijing, China 2018 Project: CAFA Central Academy of Fine Arts Type: University Campus Location: Beijing, China Duration: Summer 2018 Collaborators: CAA As an active member of the design team, I was able to help in the planning and organization of the new CAFA university campus. This required plotting different arrangements of circulation and finding the most efficient method to create a cohesive space. The campus combined residential, research, lab, classroom, and display programs that emerged from the landscape and escalated to cover a large athletic park. The drawings presented were produced by myself during my time in Beijing while employed at CAA.

This space is an easily transformable gallery on the main floor with rolling display walls that can be utilized or stored away dependent on event requirements. The second floor contains a small kitchen and bar for an intimate dining experience with two private rooms a half level above the lounge. My main focus was to tie in the interior design concepts to the exterior of the building through landscape details.

The main path incorporates interior materials between concrete tiles with an outdoor dining area surrounded by greenery for an escape from the busy streets of Shanghai. This exterior space connects the dining garden of M. ounge to an existing public courtyard while still maintaining an element of privacy.

MQ Studio is a unique upscale hair salon that required an open concept plan, with discrete storage and a private chair for exclusive clients. The client wanted their studio to reflect their creative nature and display their artistic creations. The ceiling modules are created to resemble a golden flowing river that extends below to frame double sided mirrors. The ceiling is not only for decorative purpose, but to discreetly tuck away the change in ceiling height and house lighting fixtures. This major element is subtly reflected in the floor details with gold stripping.

PHILIP BEESLEY ARCHITECTS INC. Project: Sentient Chamber Type: Installation Location: Washington, DC Duration: Summer 2015 Collaborators: PBAI I was fortunate enough to be asked to travel to Washington as a construction team member to install one of the first free-standing installations that was on display at the National Academy of Sciences in the National Mall. I was able to see this project through from the beginning design stages in Toronto through to the final install.

I was an entrusted to lead a group of volunteers from local American universities through the construction process to help with the final installation. Additionally, I also volunteered my time to teach Waterloo students how to create key elements for Philip’s EDIT exhibition installation though thermoforming and operating re-usable jigs I designed the previous summer.

Option studio takes place at the end of third year, here a small group of students designed and constructed a sustainable zero-waste classroom that is wheelchair accessible and incorporate a large Date: 2017.10.18 outdoor learning area. This project is located on First Nations Kayanase soil, which required a site analysis and survey of their existing structures and respecting their heritage. My main focus along Scale: with classmate Emma Moseley was the design and calculate the truss members. Advised by Blackwell Engineers, we drafted each truss, calculated and designed nail plates, and the number of nails required so the design would not fail in ntario weather conditions. In addition to the trusses, I was also put on the roofing team to create documentation of required structural elements.

I took the initiative to design a mobile tiny house using the knowledge I have acquired over the years in my post-secondary education. With a set budget, I began to digitally draft construction documents that were reviewed by a professional contractor before I began the physical build. The building process proved to be beneficial while doing my undergraduate studies because it provided an alternative perspective that opened my eyes to some of the small details that can be overlooked while designing in a classroom.

Created for a competition submission, the goal was to use vinyl paneling in an innovative economical manner. By creating prefabricated modules with a variety of enclosed, window, and door openings to the basic house shape it allowed for a flexible and adaptive design strategy. The unit adapts to the individual owners through changing the order in which the modules are placed, creating either more open or private spaces. The curved skylights and floor to ceiling windows allow for natural lighting. The radiant floor system is an active solar design that uses recycled water in to heat the living space.

The selected site for the 4A semester abroad was located across from the Colosseum in a highly tourist trafficked area. With a few existing buildings on site the strategy was to connect the two below ground with a modern experiential museum. Additionally, there is an open event space and lecture hall surrounded by a staircase that houses over 100 roman bust sculptures. Above ground utilizes the existing rail track for public transportation that leads to a market for small businesses at the edge of the site to increase the local population. With the site being slightly elevated the addition of greenery and revitalization of ground conditions created a quiet oasis to escape from the hustle of the city. Courtyards and pockets of outdoor seating allow for users to take a break between attractions and enjoy the features of the ancient city.

TREE PLANTING YEAR

The selected site in Toronto is a man-made landfill site made out of disposed construction materials; and by choosing straw bales as a building material I saw an opportunity to revitalize the land.

The site is comprised of three buildings, a spa, a café, and a residential/studio space for four select artists. By creating a timeline for the site, it was possible to plant and harvest wheat straw bales and use them not only as a building material, but as a fertilizer for a residential and café vegetable garden, soil enrichment for the trees in the sculpture garden, and for the orchard. This strategy 1:250 allows for a sustainable ecosystem and provides year-round jobs.

Having the bales on site, it allows for any potential future growth or addition of buildings as the users require. These bales are also a key feature of the architecture and accented throughout the buildings as seating in the residential units and shelves in the studio space.

The concurrent technical report for this project outlines the use of rainwater collection systems in each building and the closed loop water systems that draw water in from Lake Ontario to heat and cool the buildings. This project sparked an interest in sustainable sites and how to combine water conservation concepts.
