SITE NARRATIVE | The hole of Kimberley, the largest man made hole in the world, is over 1,519 ft wide in width with a depth of over 790 ft. is the result of diamond mining. The working conditions for miners were unhealthy and many lost their lives due to the excavation of this hole that would in the end result in 22 million tons of earth and 14,504,566 carats of diamonds. In choosing the artwork for the museum I chose an African artist; Santu Mofokeng, whose work relates to the social issues of the people and landscape in South Africa. The controversy that resulted after the excavation of the hole and the artwork have a direct correlation to one another and as museum goes transition through the museum and view Mofokeng’s photography they will then have a different understanding to their surroundings. Even though this hole is beautiful and astonishing is was at the cost of many lives and left a permanent scar within the landcape.
_08
townships and landscapes | Mofokung focuses on the explorations of landscape invested with spiritual significance from part of a wider enquiry into space and belonging and the political meaning of landscape.
CONCEPT model | Photography by: Santu Mofokeng
He also ‘reclaims landscape’, by investigating the meaning of landscape in relation to ownership, power and memory.

seperation of space | Nestled in between historic buildngs the Gardnier museum is an L-shaped building designed with the concept of a separation between gallery space and services. The office spaces are located in a separate part of museum and appear to be a separate brick building on its exterior, as apposed to the more contemporary stucco exterior of the museum. This meshing of old and new can be seen throughout the architecuture of Toronto.
As the form shifts, outdoor patio spaces are formed which can be used as a reception area or extended seating for the restaurant located on an upper level of the museum.
_28
gallery spaces | As you transition through the museum a main concrete wall orients the museum goer through out each space and around each corner the environment of each gallery space is different to accommodate for the art work. Some works require a specific type of space such as the Volte Face piece that requires a large window with a lot of exposure to sunlight. To the left are various gallery spaces display the works of Aurora Robson, Kaarina Kaikkonen, and El Anatsui as they would in the museum.

COMPONENTS OF FIRE SUPPRESSION |
DRY PIPE SYSTEM: Water is not present in the piping until the system operates. The piping is filled with air below the water supply pressure. When one or more of the automatic sprinklers is exposed, for a sufficient time, to a temperature at or above the temperature rating, it opens, allowing the air in the piping to vent from that sprinkler. Each sprinkler operates individually. As the air pressure in the piping drops, the pressure differential across the dry pipe valve changes, allowing water to enter the piping system. Water flow from sprinklers, needed to control the fire, is delayed until the air is vented from the sprinklers.

GRAND CENTRAL HOTEL scale 1:20
The Grand Central Hotel’s main architectural feature is the large vierendeel truss system that cantilevers over the garage and extends six floors. Within the hotel there is a retail space separated from the hotel itself however there is a restaurant that retail shoppers as well as hotel guests can access. Among the many other features of the hotel is the roof top pool and spa, the garden on top of the garage, as well as the exercise room.

bringing community interaction into the public domain | Our project seeks to rehabilitate and reestablish a sense of community in the public domain. Due to political unrest in Thailand’s recent history, public space has taken a more subdued role in the urban fabric and community gathering has been relegated to smaller-scaled spaces. We aim to reintegrate places for gathering at multiple scales along a series of nodes.

CONCEPTUAL SITE plan _64
silk and bamboo CULTIVATION | A sustainable community will be created through community involvement by incorporating a silk and bamboo farm within the community. Through the use of bamboo and mulberry trees; for silk production, community members can make bamboo screens and textile products to sell at the market which will create jobs and revenue for a sustainable community. Through the cultivation of silk and bamboo, community members are also able to personalize their homes with local goods and perform maintenance on their own homes. While also providing shade, open air ventilation, and enhancing the landscape. Moreover, community members can develop a craft or trade that will help them continue to thrive on their own.

|PLAZA view The water feature in this plaza is the outlet of the canal that runs underneath the temple. Water gently trickles down the carved articulated ground that also creates seating at the waters edge.
_76
^
building use | The building use of our community is mostly mixed use and residential which is a characteristic of Thai living, which is mostly live work. Most of the buildings have commercial uses on the ground floor with residences on the upper levels. In the center of our community is the main cultural center that consists of a community center, museums, cafes, as well as a large park for large public gatherings. These gatherings could also occur within the amphitheater located along the boardwalk. Along the waterfront is mostly commercial use as it is the location of the floating market place. It is a place where people within the community can come and sell their wares, such as the silk and bamboo products that they have made from the agriculture with in the community.
^
circulation | The aim of our project is to create a walkable community. There is one major road which is indicated in red on the image to the left which runs through the entire community. There are auxiliary roads that branch off connecting to other parts of the community. However there is a road that leads to parking underneath the main park area for those who commute to the community to enjoy the walkable nature of the community.
_78
FINAL MODEL| scale= 1:1000 The density through out the community varies depending on building use. A higher density area is located in the cities’ cultural center where buildings such as museums, cafes, library, and community center are located. Along the community edge is the marketplace; at a lower density, sitting on the water with boardwalks that wind throughout the shops. Located beyond the main road are interconnected plaza spaces; connected by small pedestrian pathways, for commuinity celebrations and gatherings.
_80
transportation hub and amphitheater | scale: 1’ = 1/16� The transportation hub and amphitheater sit on opposite sides of the main road entering the community. As visitors and community members exit they can sit along side the road on shaded benches while waiting for their next mode of transportation. The amphitheater, located along the hillside filled with mulberry trees, is a shaded space where community members can relax and gather for celebrations.
_82
public NODES | These nodes consist of intimate pockets of space in residential areas, courtyards, neighborhood plazas, and a network of dense and lively plazas located in the center of the community culminating at the waterfront, which integrates a self-sustaining community for silk and bamboo craftsmen. These spaces are unified using a mixture of meandering paths and water features, which stem from the major natural green space, to encourage way-finding, playfulness, and discovery.

SILK FARM LIVING| scale: 1’ = 1/32�
Low to high density housing for silk farm workers located around a central plaza space where community members can gather. Adjacent to the plaza is a market place for workers to sell there products. Housing within the community has pitched roofs to allow water to run off quickly while others have water collection systems to guide water underneath the house so it can drain into the reservoir at the base of the community. Also, because of the cultivation of bamboo within the community, the facade of each house is different because community members can personalize their homes by making their own bamboo screens.
_92

MARKET PLACE | Market place with shops on both levels ,bamboo screens, and butterfly roofs for open air ventilation and a higher pitched roof to allow water to drain quickly into a water collection system during monsoon season. Also in the center are sidewalk cafes and market vendors selling their goods.
