CUMMINTY CENTER OF BORGO SEGEZIA 01.

Year: 2022- Semester 6

Size: 1400 m2

Location: Hamilton, ON

The newly proposed community center for Borgo Segezia looks to tie in the existing foundations of the past to create a permanent place that stands the test of time. A combination of simplicity and durability that bleeds into the language of the building, with a brutalist approach that prioritizes a strong and durable material like concrete. Simultaneously the building looks to provide a place that is currently lacking in the town and that naturally becomes necessary as a master plan surrounding new housing is proposed.

The community center is located adjacent to the existing school, taking the vertical rhythm as inspiration and opening the possibility for connection and expansion of the program, integrating community needs into one portion of the town, on the exterior of the main town piazza. Additionally the project starts from the revitalization of the existing multi use court located on the southeast corner of the town, from which the expansion then takes place.

A joint of e ort of the group, (integrated by Amal Shawer, Oscar Ayala, Daniella Haddadin and Santino D’Angelo Rozas) saw the development of a master plan that seeked to create a community that integrates housing, social spaces, commercial and communal activities, increasing the density of Borgo Segezia and providing a new home to those in need in the region of Puglia. Consequently, the group understood the need to complete this master plan in four di erent stages as population grows and the needs increase. During the first phase of the project the master plan looks to create a new piazza where the aforementioned components can merge and coexist, merging residential space with temporary markets and open public spaces. Simultaneously and in direct correlation with the ultimate goal of expansion, Phase 1 of the master plan proposes also the development of a community/ sports center, located on the Southeast portion of the town.

The simplicity of the design comes not only from the overall geometry also but the choice of detailing throughout the building, giving an aesthetic and technical use to the components that make up the building. Detail 1 showcases the skylight and its connection with the roof plane, which merges into the drain system. The drain system is hidden within the interior of the concrete blades that make up the vertical rhythm that originates at the main elevation of the building.

LANEWAY SUITE TORONTO 02.

Year: 2023- Semester 7

Size: 80 m2

Location: 542 Beresford Avenue, Toronto, ON

Located within a residential zone, the laneway suite emerges as a way to gently densify a city that lacks the concept of the missing middle due to zoning regulations. The given site opens the possibility to expand beyond the legal limitations of laneway suites in the city, in which a live-work condition was developed, orienting the design for a home owner that requires a wooden oven, an element which bleeds into the materiality, spacial organization and form development.

Volumetrically the suite is conformed by accentuated horizontal roof planes that correspond with the spaces in the house that extrude from the outside walls and at the same time are intersected and pierced by solid vertical elements that not only cut the planes in elevation but also provide a seperation of spaces in plan

3. The resulting geometry combines public and private spaces into the existing site conditions

1. The original “by right” 8m by 10m square was turned 90 degrees and divided into the three spaces; Entrance, Live, and Work

2. Solid wall elements cut the square providing a seperation in plan, accentuating the working space (public) and protecting the rest of the home

3. The resulting geometry combines public and private spaces into the existing site conditions

HAMILTON AQUATIC CENTER 03.

Year: 2022- Semester 6

Size: 6700 m2

Location: Hamilton, ON

Located within the downtown core of the city of Hamilton and adjacent to Gore Park, a symbol and landmark in the city’s history, the Hamilton Aquatic Centre rises as a landmark for a newly defined urban block achieved through the action of a group urban master plan redesign. The aquatic center rises as a threshold and provides entrance to a continuous circulation through the site, connecting Gore Park with the a oredmentioned master plan, replac-ing the the existing podium infrastructure.

This pedestrian circulation is then the driving force behind the design intention, eroding through the building to create two distinct masses that are connected by programmatic elements above and below grade. The separation of masses creates two distinct moments in the building which consequently a ects the facade choice and subsequent detailing processes.

PERFORMANCE PAVILLION 04.

Year: 2020- Semester 3

Size: 116 m2

Location: Toronto, ON

Serving as a flexible space, the pavillion, intended mostly for live performances looks to provide a calm place for visitors of Grange park to enjoy. The design intention sorrounds the idea of balance between openess and enclosure. The pavillion maintains a mostly open profile, with large openings on its East and West sides, but provides a semi enclosure with heavy timber columns and perforated metal screens that serve as space delineating walls.

The warmness of the heavy timber columns and beams provides a comfortable environment to the users, while contrasting with the rigidity of the concrete and lightness of the steel panels. The open layout of its ‘interior’ allows for a flexible usage, weather it is hosting a performance or simply serving as a space for users to gather and enjoy their time in a place surrounded by the impressive architectural features of the AGO and OCAD University

Design begins with a rectangular shape

Shape is distorded to create angular movement influenced by the circulation around the park

Division in the middle di erienting two spaces, seperating performer and spectator

The division becomes two seperete roof spaces

Seperated roof take on the angularity of Step 2 based on pedestrian circulation

Final concept is achieved by rotating roof shapes, creating an overlap of masses
