BIOGRAPHY OF TIMIEYIN OMAMOGHO Hailing from Nigeria, Lagos born February 3rd, 2005, Timieyin Omamogho always had an eye for design. Growing up in Calgary, Alberta, he always made it his passion for creation. Throughout growing up he always took up an interest in art, and he made sure to draw in his free time instilling is love for art overall. He cares about seeing everything he does through this can be seen with all things he endeavored on. Such as playing sports, cooking, and especially art. His vision for seeing things through also translates into how he works on projects as an Architectural Technologist. At SAIT he really showcased his strengths which is his work ethic, communication skills, and adaptability. While also improving upon his weaknesses which is being tunnel visioned on projects and overlooking minor details.

Through his SAIT Architectural Technologist experience he expressed interest in all aspects of a Technologist which is the research, design, and technical aspects of architecture. The reason he is fond of all aspects of architecture is because he understands it is important to be versatile as an Architectural Technologist. Furthermore, he works on areas he struggles on which is one of his greatest strengths. These attributes can best be seen in his very first semester of SAIT he was struggling with the science and systems aspect of architecture. However, he used his persistence to improve and overcome certain impartial difficulties throughout his career. He is a planner, goal setter, and has strong ambition. However, this can also be one of his most apparent weaknesses as well since he might overindulge in his ambition and overlook important aspects of a project to focus on.

BIOGRAPHY OF JIAYI PENG Hello! Or as they say it in my home country Nihao! In case you haven't guessed yet I'm from China, and my name is Jiayi Peng. Born on October 12th, 2004, I grew up in the Provine called He nan, and this is my second year in Canada. Coming to Calgary, Alberta has made me curious about everything, but not excited about the cold! One thing that I became curious in was the Architectural Technology program here at SAIT. At first, I never thought I would study Architectual Tecnology, because in the beginning I didn’t enjoy designing the buildings, because the program made me feel confused and at some point, I even wanted to give up. Then after continuous learning, I became more and more interested in the profession of Architectural Technology, after learning how to use different software to create architectural designs, like Revit, Auto CAD, Sketchup and so on. This allowed me to find my inner interest in the Architectural Tecnology program at SAIT. Architectural Tecnology allows me to fully utilize my imagination to express different styles of Architecture, and also taught me

how to calculate FAR which allows me to make full use of the building area. Finally, SAITs program taught me to understand the various codes to ensure the safety bylaws and stability of the buildings.

Through the experience of studying in the SAIT Architectural Technology program, I have been able to clarify my goals and lay a solid foundation for my future work. I hope I can become a member of the Architectural Tecnology industry and demonstrate my design ability.

COLLIDE CRAFTS COMMUNITY

PROJECT DESCRIPTION _________________________________________ For our project I want to establish the idea of collaboration using the Art Gallery to influence and connect the community. We plan for our building to have residential units to represent the community, and the Art Gallery that will allow for community interaction. We believed that a Mixed-Use Building in this case will allow for the best community interaction since it connects the residential and commercial into one conglomerate building.

We also want to incorporate important design elements that will help further progress the Art Gallery in terms of sustainability, and reliability.

These are both going to be very important points going forward with our project since this can help keep our building long lasting and lower the ecological footprint.

Overall, for our project we set out to accomplish what is in the company name for the Art Gallery. We want to provide a community through residence that will collide and interact with the Art Facilities.

All within a sizeable ecological footprint and thinking in the future for durability of building materials.

THE PROJECT DILEMMA

RENEWABLE HVAC SYSTEMS FOR MIXED-USAGE

WHAT ISSUE NEEDS TO BE SOLVED FOR OUR PROJECT?

__________________________________________ The issue that needs to be focused on this project is the problem of a high ecological footprint. Coupled with the concern for making sure there is longevity within a building.

Generally, a high ecological footprint with little to no regard for sustainability allows for a myriad of issues for the foreseeable future. When it comes to harvesting, producing, constructing, and using these materials it results in the world itself losing its grasp on sustaining itself. That’s why it is very important for materials to be able to lower the ecological impact at large. This also falls into another important issue which is the longevity, and reliability of certain materials. To make sure the building itself can withstand time for generations to come. The topic of sustainability, longevity, and durability will all play into our proposal to make sure our project is grounded in realism in the context of Calgary, Alberta.

HOW WE STRIVE TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE

We strive to solve this issue by making sure we incorporate new, yet effective resources into our building. As well as utilize the different techniques to satisfy sustainability.

Firstly, we can provide sustainability by making sure consider the right site with proper environmental factors (wind, sun exposure, vegetation) this can allow for our courtyard design too. Which brings the outside in, providing natural ventilation. Also, HVAC systems are going to be a necessity we need to make sure we use renewable energy sources such as geothermal energy or solar power.

THE SCOPE FOR OUR PROJECT HOW DO THESE METHODS OF PLANNING HELP SET UP OUR CAPSTONE?

__________________________________________ For our capstone since this is a larger scale Mixed-Use building, this will acquire more attention to detail and overall project management. So, in the earlier stages we want to make sure we establish all our common ideas into one. Using level of design, we were able to pinpoint what we should be focused on right after the predesign phase. Which is making sure we visualize our schematics in all aspects: floorplans, 3D massing, parking planning, and early site plan production. This will be our next focus design wise using bylaws to aid us in our discoveries.

The Gantt Chart allowed us to view the Gantt chart, given the project a more birds eye view appearance. We were able to visualize roughly were, and when we would be focusing on certain tasks, and assignments. Such as our planning for the design development phase we planned out the important aspects from design development. Such as building code analysis, floor plans, 3D modelling, sections, and elevations.

Finally with the Microsoft Planner this allowed us to pinpoint specific due dates, and what needs to be done currently. When it comes down to general, and con-current management this was able to set up our capstone for the next stage especially.

INDUSTRY & COMMUNITY COLLABORATION INTRODUCING OUR COMMUNITY COLLABORATION WITH ESKER FOUNDATION ______________________________________________

ESKER FOUNDATION

About Esker Foundation: Founded in May 2012, the idea behind the Esker Foundation is to create a welcoming space for the community to enjoy collectively. Another huge point behind Esker Foundation is providing low barriers to access. Accessibility for this Art Gallery is a huge point with spacious floorplans within the building. Parking, and admissions are also free which increases overall accessibility for this Art Gallery.

This Art Gallery embraces the community by offering many different experiences, connecting people culturally within Calgary.

HOW DID THE ESKER FOUNDATION INSPIRED OUR CAPSTONE PROJECT •

ARCHITECTURAL PROGRAM

7.0

•

The Architectural Program helped sequenced what spaces we will need for the Art Gallery

•

We were also able to think extensively about how the courtyard would be laid out in between the Condominium and Art Gallery

•

Also thinking about how the Condominium is spaced out within each of the units

ARCHITECTURAL PROGRAM ARCHITECTURAL PROGRAM SPATIAL PROGRAMMING •

When it came down to spatial programming and figuring out what spaces are needed, we had to keep in mind the sizes of these areas

•

When keeping in mind the sizes of our spaces we were able to properly visualize what should be whereas considered to massing

•

Knowing the sizes of these spaces can serve to be beneficial to us in the future. The earlier we ground the concrete solid numbers in the project the clearer our project will be in overall vision

SITE SELECTION

LOCATION: 902 11 Ave SW, Calgary, AB T2R 0E7

The site we chose now consists of a building and a parking lot. It is beside an intersection.

In front of the building, there is a bus stop for No. 6 and No. 90. Two blocks north is a Ctrain station with well-developed traffic, a post box on the left side of the building and a light on the right side of the building. To the left of the building is a paid parking lot with four rows. There's also room for about ten cars at the back and left side of the building.

9.0

MASSING/PARTI CONCEPTS

8.0

•

We believe that doing parti design early in the project with pre-design. Since this can provide a good set up for schematic design

•

There's plenty of concepts that are at play it's important to draw them out as early as possible

•

We want our courtyard to be utilized as a central hub for both the condominium, and Art Gallery

•

Another possible concept is adding a retail, dining, or eatery on the ground floor for our condominium. Allowing for more variety between uses

SITE ANALYSIS SITE FACTORS

•

Based off hearing the site, and feeling the site there are a magnitude of different factors at play

•

Especially since the site is located central downtown within Beltine there's much more noise at play. When it comes to overall vehicles, machinery, and higher density of people within our area

•

Our site also has many modes of nearby transportation with public buses, LRT stations, many and Calgary taxi cabs being available

•

Many different options, and access to amenities, and services such as: Parks, grocery stores such as Safeway, art galleries/museums, dental services, magnitude of retail stores, place of worship, and CORE shopping mall

WHAT DO THESE SITE FACTORS MEAN FOR OUR PROJECT

• Due to our site having many different modes of transportation, with a bus stop being in front our site. We must make sure our building is accessible to everyone possibly using ramps to access levels on the exterior of the Art Gallery • With the sun traveling through the South, we need to make sure our courtyard is taking in as much sun as possible • With wind traveling through the North, it is necessary we allow for proficient window placement for better ventilation

9.0

SITE ANALYSIS - COMMUNITY DEMOGRAPHICS WHAT DO THESE DEMOGRAPHICS MEAN FOR OUR PROJECT?

9.0

•

With our population projected to have a 1.52% increase in 2024. This means that more populations means an increase in overall transportation usage

•

A higher population also means that will call for more dwellings, and commercial amenities being of need. To accommodate for the growth of the population

•

Our aim for our project is to make sure we have solid accessibility through our building for transportation.

Since cars are within the 32% of modes of transportation, we need to have solid parking access. Especially due to our project type being Mixed-Use

PARKING, ACCESS, & CIRCULATION WHY THESE SERVICES ARE AT OUR MOST CONCERN FOR OUR PROJECT

ADA WHEELCHAIR RAMP

ADA WHEELCHAIR RAMP • The ADA wheelchair ramp is going to be at our utmost concern because of the high density of downtown. Due to the amount of people we need to make sure we are accommodating everyone.

Since our main idea is community, we want our community to be easily accessible and this allows for that ELEVATOR ACCESSIBILITY • For our building having an elevator is essentially mandatory especially according to our scale of our building. With our condominium being up to at least 4 to 6 stories in height. Elevator access is needed being placed in proximity within the staircase as well UNDERGROUND PARKING • With the scale of our building underground parking might be up in the air when it comes to various accessibility. We can also acquire necessary knowledge of underground parking and how it works.

MATERIAL RELIABILITY & SUSTAINABILITY THE IMPORTANCE OF RELIABILITY IN A BUILDING

Reliability is one of our important points when it comes to our project dilemma, we want to make sure we have a building that stands the test of time while also being sustainable to the environment. Reliability allows for the overall structurally integrity of the building to hold up for a long duration, while also withstanding many different climates and conditions. We need to make sure we are picking materials that can last over time and withstand harsh conditions.

THESE MATERIALS IN PRACTICE PRECAST CONCRETE

RECYCLED STEEL

WHAT MATERIALS ALLOW FOR RELIABILITY WITH SOLID SUSTAINABILITY

12.0

• Precast Concrete Concrete in the construction field overall is essentially a necessity, especially in commercial buildings being a strong staple. However, concrete has a large ecological footprint which must be reduced. This allows precast concrete to be used as a new avenue for a more sustainable yet reliable concrete.

• Recycled Steel Steel is another essential material that is very reliable offerring up to 100 years for durability.

However, the production of steel puts the world's sustainability at risk. To compensate for this, we can utilize recycled steel which can be considered for our project.

• Fiberglass/Cellulose Insulation Both fiberglass, and cellulose are very sustainable materials. Fiberglass however is extremely essential to our current landscape because of the lifespan of between 80 to 100 years.

• Pollution Absorbing Brick Pollution absorbing brick offer another perspective to how cladding can be approached. Since it can offer a self-sustaining ventilation which can be useful for our project especially within our courtyard.

FIBERGLASS/CELLULOSE INSULATION

POLLUTION ABSORBING BRICK

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY CONSIDERING NET ZERO BUILDING MODEL The goal of Net Zero is to plan and adjust buildings to make sure we are slowly but surely cutting down the greenhouse gas emissions.

Through using certain building strategies, we can ensure a National Net Zero Building Model. Calgary proposes to drop housing to Net Zero by 2050 For our project we want to utilize Net Zero Building strategies such as: • Using a Passive Design Elements Using a passive design elements would be considering using natural ventilation, with fewer artificial l lighting usage. We will do this by providing a courtyard that will allow for ventilation, and vegetation within it.

• Utilizing renewable energy sources: Using renewable energy sources for certain elements of a building such as for HVAC units' geothermal energy, or solar energy. Can allow for us to reach Net Zero while also being energy efficient

CASE STUDY OF TIMIEYIN OMAMOGHO OTTAWA ART GALLRY EXPANSION ARCHITECTS: Barry Padolsky Associates Inc. Architects, KPMB Architects LOCATION: OTTAWA. CANADA AREA: 17435 m² / 187668.78 ft² YEAR ESTABLISHED: 2017 PROJECT DESCRIPTION: With the Mixed-Used Building being used as the project type this building encapsulates the collaboration of the community through art. The white cube of the OAG creates strong interest to the art gallery.

Since it stands out from the connected hotel building.

There is also access to underground/structural parking that doesn't take away space from the ground level of the mixed use building itself.

The goal for this project was to provide a sense of collaboration between communities with the art gallery.

Whilst also providing a small ecological footprint overall. The courtyard design provides sustainable design with the natural ventilation falling through the building. The design of the art gallery allows for high ceiling to come into play that allows the exhibits to take advantage of these to the fullest.

14.0

HOW THIS WILL INSPIRE OUR PROJECT Based on the overall form of the building we are interested in investing more about the combination of a Mixed-Use building providing an art gallery and residential spaces. With possible further commercial uses.

This building also inspires us to allow for the collaboration of communities using the Art Gallery as a binder to connect people together with the courtyard design also coming into play.

CASE STUDY OF TAREK SHOOD PROPOSED ARTS DISTRICT LIVE/WORK RESIDENTIAL BUILDING​ ARCHITECTS: Hansonla Architecture​ LOCATION: Los Angeles, California – 1800 E 7th St​ AREA: 781 ft² / 72 m²​ YEAR PROPOSED: 2017​ Project Description: This project seeks to preserve the community of artists by using the Mixed-Use Building District. Proposing to have 122 live work units. With at least 14 of those units being dedicated to allow for affordability towards clients.

Project Summary: This Mixed-use development has floor area proposed 12 Square meter out of the 15 Square meter from the floor area allowed.

We are especially encouraging to propose to use the density bonus to bring both market rate and including very low affordable units to the city of Calgary. The density bonus is one of the great tools the city to increase the affordability of housing, and should work to make it even more appealing so that it is used in our project and by future projects.

The aim of our project is to create a new housing in the desirable neighbourhood above the possible further commercial space on the ground floor, the location of our project is very great for walking and cycling distance as it is very important for amenities like retail and restaurants. Also, it is directly served by public transportation and would be surrounding with possible three other Art Gallery.

This Case Study Would Inspire Our Project In Different Ways: The city of Calgary is facing a sever housing shortage due to high immigration level coming into Canada, our project would be focusing to provide much needed housing by creating a housing in a desirable neighborhood.

The results of our project would help to reduce the issues of gentrification in other parts of the city of Calgary.

CASE STUDY OF KELLY PENG Eagle + West (Greenpoint Landing Block D) / OMA / Jason Long ARCHITECTS: OMA LOCATION: Brooklyn, United States AREA: 860700 ft² YEAR ESTABLISHED: 2022

14.0

Text description provided by the architects. Greenpoint lies at the northernmost tip of Brooklyn where Newtown Creek meets the East River. The neighborhood—sometimes called “Little Poland”—has historically consisted of low-rise townhouses with industry at its waterfront edges. The industrial border, which included shipbuilding, rope-making, and more toxic activities such as petroleum refinement, cut the neighborhood off from the East River.

The two towers simultaneously lean into and away from one another. The taller tower widens toward the east as it rises, maximizing views and creating a dramatic face to the neighborhood. The shorter tower, a fraternal twin, widens toward the ground to face a new waterfront park to the north. The two towers are shaped to create terraces and overhangs that emphatically link them together as if they were broken apart from a single block. A ziggurat and its inverse, the pair are distinct yet intimately connected by the void between them.

The stepped forms of the towers and the articulation of their facades mediate the inevitable contrast in scale between the two towers and the existing neighborhood. The stepping divides the tower into seven- to eight- story blocks that echo the scale of the neighboring buildings. The facade reinforces this subdivision.

CLOSING STATEMENT The proposal discusses an upcoming mixed-use building project in Calgary that aims to provide residential, commercial, and retail space while incorporating environmentally sustainable features and modern architectural elements. The project team is committed to delivering a high-quality development that will enhance the cityscape and become an asset for Calgary. Additionally, the project includes an art gallery space that will serve as a cultural hub for the community.

One of the key aspects of this project is its emphasis on sustainability. The building will be designed with environmentally friendly features, including possible green roof, solar panels, and efficient heating and cooling systems. These elements will minimize the carbon footprint in the building and contribute to the city of Calgary overall sustainability goal. In addition to its sustainability initiatives, the project will feature a sleek and modern architectural design that will become a landmark in the cityscape. The building will be a visual representation of Calgary progressive and forward-thinking approach to urban development. Its cutting-edge design will incorporate clean

lines, innovative use of materials, and ample natural lighting to create a visually stunning structure. Another significant aspect of the proposal is its

focus on community

engagement. The building will serve as a cultural hub within the city, with a dedicated space for an art gallery. This art gallery will showcase local

artists work and provide a platform for cultural expression and community connection. It will might host all regular art exhibitions, workshops, and events, inviting residents and visitors to engage with the art and immerse themselves in Calgary's vibrant arts scene. Moreover, the mixed-use building will provide a variety of spaces to cater to different needs and

activities. It will combine residential units, commercial spaces, and recreational areas to create a truly inclusive environment. The

residential units will be designed to

accommodate diverse lifestyles, from compact apartments for individuals and couples to spacious family-friendly units as well as

affordable housing units.

The commercial spaces will may house cafes, restaurants, and shops, adding vibrancy and convenience to the building's

surroundings. Additionally, the project will

incorporate well-designed public spaces if possible, such as rooftop or courtyard gardens and glazed glass outdoor

seating areas, that will foster a sense of community and encourage social interactions. Overall, this mixed-use building project in Calgary is an exciting proposal that aims to showcase the city commitment to sustainability,

16.0

this project has the potential to not only enhance the

modern architecture, and community engagement. By creating a building that harmoniously blends these elements, cityscape but also become a symbol of Calgary progressive and inclusive spirit.
