PROJECT: COMMUNITY CENTRE STUDIO: BUILDING THE CITY CO-ORDINATOR: PETER MANSFIELD WINTER 2018 LOCATION: ISTANBUL, TURKEY PUBLISHED IN BUILDING22 EDITION 18 NOMINATED FOR FACULTY AWARD 2018

Located along Istanbul’s Haliç waterway is the site of a former industrial ship yard. This design re-envisions the industrial site as a community hub consisting of a library, boat club, amphitheatre, and other recreational facilites.

Upon visiting Istanbul, inspiration was drawn from its vernacular architecture, where wood construction was historically popular, specifically in the design of waterfront Yalıs. Through this lens, stacked forms with teetering offsets and cantilevers are seen, along with wood exteriors. These spatial explorations allow a diversity of levels at play.

In relation to its context, the architecture highlights the variations of movements in the landscape, from the surrounding hills of Istanbul, to the flowing water of the Haliç, and even the pre-existing industrial saw-tooth roof buildings on site.

The interplay of spaces frames and creates new public zones, with a cove like space and central plaza. Paths flow in and around the site, and follow the shores of the Haliç allowing a much needed direct public connection to the water.

CO-OP RHYTHMIQUE. PROJECT: CO-WORK OFFICE BUILDING STUDIO: STRUCTURING ARCHITECTURE CO-ORDINATOR: JANINE DEBANNE WINTER 2017 LOCATION: MONTREAL, QC PUBLISHED IN BUILDING22 EDITION 17

Located in Griffintown, near the mouth of the Historic Lachine Canal, Co-op Rhythmique is the design of a cowork office and lower level café.

Formerly an industrial zone, the project includes the adaptive reuse of the abandoned Wellington Switch Tower. This tower was once responsible for the control of the adjacent bridge, allowing the passage of boats and trains. The project drew inspiration from this bridge, reusing its materials as the new structure of the addition, linking the historic and the new.

The idea of subtraction and insertion played a key role as well, as the removal of the front façade, the insertion of the steel addition, and the subtraction through light wells revealing the structure. These elements created a rhythmic pattern to the building through structure, and exposed the addition as a separate entity from the historic building.

CONFLICTING ACCOUNTS. PROJECT: WATER STUDIO: PUBLICS AND POLIS/LIQUID CARTOGRAPHIES CO-ORDINATOR: OZAYR SALOOJEE WINTER 2019 LOCATION: BLACK SEA

As an introductory studio investigation pertaining to Istanbul, bodies of water were explored as they give the city its unique character. Tasked with the analysis of the Black Sea, the investigation consists of a series of mappings, each addressing a slice of time, and an overall site map as a compression of time. Theses slices include the present, past, and mythologies. Given the context of the Black Sea, the geopolitics of the area became the major theme.

The map titled “Present” addresses the Black Sea’s current geopolitical climate, focusing on the commodity of oil. This commodity’s influence was highlighted through the mapping of off-shore drilling platforms, the flow of tankers, disputed territories, and the location of fish feeding zones (many of which lie in the direct path of oil tanker travel).

The map titled “Past” displays the former trading routes and the influence of the historic Silk Road, as well as the visualization of Constantinople as a seat of power.

Finally, “Mythologies” addresses the alleged route of the Argonauts across the Black Sea, and other mythological stories.

Each of these maps in turn convey the concept of power that the Black Sea represents.

FLUX AND FLOW. PROJECT: JUST ADD URBAN STUDIO: BUILDING IN THE CITY CO-ORDINATOR: PETER MANSFIELD WINTER 2018 bioswale system

LOCATION: OTTAWA, ON IN COLLABORATION WITH ZOE BURGESS

A redesign for York Plaza, in Ottawa’s Byward Market, this charette was aimed at its revitalization.The plaza design includes several playscape elements, water features, the reintroduction of green space, as well as gathering spaces and busking zones.

Although a tourist district, York Street is vastly car oriented, with parking spaces spanning its entirety.

The first aim was to then reconnect the site to the surrounding pedestrian paths, mainly the Byward’s courtyard system.

Given the historical context of York Plaza as a former water retention area for the Rideau Canal, as well as Ottawa’s background in the lumber industry, the focus of the design then shifted to a wood decked surface, with platformed interventions, and water features, introducing a playscape to the plaza.

Green spaces were then reintroduced with the addition of bioswales, addressing water filtration. The two opposing fountains on either side of the plaza are linked through the flow of the plaza elements, and present two ends to the chain.

PLATO’S CAVE. PROJECT: MATERIAL EXPLORATION WORKSHOP: STRUCTURAL MORPHOLOGY CO-ORDINATOR: MANUEL BAEZ FALL 2018 LOCATION: OTTAWA, ON IN COLLABORATION WITH WALTER FU

This project consisted of a series of material explorations. These explorations were then seen simultaneously through the lens of Italo Calvino’s “Crystal and Flame,” as explained in his writing of the “Six Memos for the Next Millennium.”

Through this outlook, where the crystal represents the static form, and the flame as the dynamic process, new elements of the material become highlighted as the static form and dynamic process blur into one unique piece.

Beginning with a single sheet of wire mesh, the material was then folded into an accordion pattern, which then allowed the formation of Calvino’s “crystal” unit. When manipulated into unique forms and compositions, this crystal unit could then be seen in its dynamic process of the flame.

Upon closer look, similarities were drawn upon Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, where the play of shadows can draw upon unique interpretations and visions.

THE FUNNEL. PROJECT: HOUSING STUDIO: URBANITY, DWELLING, AND COMMUNITY CO-ORDINATOR: HONORATA PIENKOWSKA FALL 2018 LOCATION: OTTAWA, ON IN COLLABORATION WITH MARIE AURAIN

The Funnel is a new look on the housing located in Heron Gate, a neighbourhood within Ottawa. The site is the location of an aging development, currently in the midst of mass eviction and demolition.

This project aims to re-incorporate the diverse community of Heron Gate into a new development, with the construction of a series of multi-usage housing developments, with both market and subsidized housing.

The design aims to allow the sense of community through enhanced green spaces and community amenities that encourages the neighbourhood’s already existing diversity. These spaces include community workshops, gardens, kitchens, and performance space.

A key, central, circulation path follows a grove of trees and interacts with the levels of the buildings as one moves through the site, both dividing and connecting the two sides of the development, ending in the funnel, a landscape feature to the west.

A TINY TOWER. PROJECT: TINY HOUSE STUDIO: ARCHITECTURAL TECHNOLOGY CO-ORDINATOR: SCOTT BUCKING FALL 2016 LOCATION: GATINEAU, QC IN COLLABORATION WITH ALEX LAMARCHE [ONLY PERSONAL DRAWINGS SHOWN]

Tasked with designing a tiny house, the concept of environmentally oriented building was further explored through the exploration of passive design.

The decision to build a passive house meant virtually eliminating all energy needs, with any energy required being produced through roof solar panels.

The house was designed to be sunken into the Gatineau Hills, half above grade, and half below, yet still exposed to allow parking and outdoor patio space.

The interior consists of a living space with an adjoining washroom, and kitchen, as well as a mezzanine sleeping space. With the design, the house attempts to blend into the surrounding landscape.

BREATHING CITY. PROJECT: CITIES WORKSHOP: PUBLIC AND POLIS/LIQUID CARTOGRAPHIES CO-ORDINATOR: OZAYR SALOOJEE WINTER 2019 LOCATION: ISTANBUL, TURKEY IN COLLABORATION WITH SEETON YUEN Inspired by the call for proposals for the 2018 Istanbul Biennial addressing the theme of “Patterns and Rhythm,” this research project interprets Istanbul as the “Breathing City.” The drawing set analyses the city at three different scales (large, larger, and hyper-large). A pair of analytical maps and diagramatic scenes then visualizes the pattern at the specific scale.

Both the Pazarcı and the Street drawing analyse patterns at the large scale. Pazarcı marks the locations of pop-up markets within the district of Fatih, while also displaying the days on which they occur, and the types of goods being sold. The “Street” drawing visualizes the scene of the markets, and the rhythmic patterns created as one meanders through. Below this scene, a series of thumbnails display the systems that enable the markets.

The pair titled “Dwelling” and “Neighbourhood” detail the growth of housing developments, with the push of lower income populations to the periphery, and the focus of high-end housing along the waterfront. Meanwhile, the diagrammatic scene interprets this shift of the urban fabric.

Lastly “Passage” and “City” demonstrates the daily rhythms created through transit. Concentrations of movement and types of transit are highlighted.

Whereas the diagrammatic scene demonstrates the experience of crossing the Bosporus.

HELIOTROPIC FANTASIES. PROJECT: ADDITION TO THE SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE STUDIO: STRUCTURE AND ENCLOSURE CO-ORDINATOR: JOHN COOK FALL 2017 LOCATION: OTTAWA, ON

The project entailed an addition to Carleton University’s Azrieli School of Architecture.

To begin, an examination of the current building was undertook, focussing on the current building’s design focus of structure, modularity, and its arrangement around the drafting board. Through this, the concept of transformative spaces became the focal point for the design, allowing the building to grow and adapt with the changing needs of students.

The addition of thin steel columns to the school’s dominating grid organization, allows the suggestion of a framework, and the potential for new spaces.

These columns provide the connection of a scaffolding systems, enabling the literal construction of new spaces within. The spaces created are then further enforced by moving panels, facilitating more private spaces, as well as pin up space.

This idea of transformative spaces is then followed through a heliotropic façade. Frosted panels upon a gridded rail system allows the movement, and layering of panels, shielding the sun as it follows its movement.
