An Extended Centre
These obvious but remarkably resis-tant q uestions s tem from a convic-tion t hat a rchitecture is not consti-tuted of buildings or sites but arises from the studied relationship of the two and form an awareness that site is r eceived a s an a rchitectural construct, even if unconciously.
Using a community centre as a point of departure, this project seeks to d evelop a n architecture that recognizes the potential condition of the institution as both an extension of the city and as a bounded entity that possesses a unique identity.

riverdale community centre
The s ite is l ocated o n the western edge o f Riverdale Park West at the point where Carlton Street ends just south of R iverdale Farm. N otably
west b y the abrupt t ermina-tion of row houses along
Carlton Street and to the east by a 20 m eter d rop to t he e dge o f Bayview A venue. A n existing staircase and pathway on the site connects to a p edestrian b ridge that crosses the Don Valley Park-way providing access to the Don Valley trail system below and to
the Riverdale P ark on t he east side of the valley.

Addition of a tower to allow for movement in both directionscourtyard stretched
Addition of a third tower to see howlight is affected. New passage createdadditional courtyard placed at podium
Two additional towers placed. Overallrotation in X-shape
Towers oriented in four directions,facing one another. Floors plates also extended to support courtyards
23
By looking at the overall composition of the hybrid.
Courtyards are bridging access between towers.
Light investigation. The upper courtyards recaive more light, as well cavities have been created in order to allow light for lower courtyards.

Typologies placed side by side-scale analysis
Branching off the road in [S] and [N] directions. Bars work in modules hence the further blocks have been augmented in height
Population of road with mode barbuildings, different length. They have all derived from one module.
Removal of external façade of building.Working with structural systems.Also investigation of stacking as wellas bridging between buildings
Arranging a few blocks from their points of access with the road.
Introduction of façades as well as arrangements of buildings.Composition of one module

A perspective of bar- road relationship
Overall perspective with built form andfaçade system
It is evident that the geometry of the road dictates the arrangement of buildings. Horizontal and narrow plan

Attractor points work similar tonodes in that they magnetize a given element, in this casemovement
Introducing the courtyard to this idea.We can see how the movement will turnout.
Addition of cores into the view Floor plates as well as façade

Less attractor points in this case as the roadcontains less branching
It becomes more evident that movement is guided by the access points throughout the built forms
A perspective view from the houses everything is guidedby lines that represent movement throughout the built forms

site context
A development o f new proposals for the Dufferin Mall site, looking also at its surrounding neighborhood, Dufferin Grove. Toronto will serve as the super-studio’s testing ground f or i deas about how a rchitecture, l andscape architecture and urban design togeth-er can conspire to r eformulate an already compelling site within the city. Focusing on a design for the refevel-opment of the Dufferin Mall/Duffering grove.

Initially the mall is broken into its functional and spatial componentswith respect to the ideology of the mall
The idea of the design isto bring all the elements in a vertical direction
Once the program is re-stacked in a manner that main circulation is below, the anchor stores above andthe smaller retailers above all
The idea is to stack more program on top, leaving no additionalfootprint to the site
The massing is readjusted in hierarchies in the form of a pyramid
Once this massing is obtained, the surface area is reduced and more program and built area is raised upward

The tower is then placed within the perimeter of the site for scale comparison
The site is divided into 35% built and 65% open space the advantage of this design is to provide more open space to the public

Perspective view from south east. The stairscreate a grand unity by converging into singularity
Due to it’s opennature the buildingcan serve as a pavillion for warmerclimates

Concept of the model.Although the structureseems light in nature, the ability of columnsto withstand loads makes it stronger
Form and Texture
The client asked to provide a series of line drawings in order to show where the cuts of t he s tone w ould lie. The shape was that of a seashell.
A series of renderings would show the texture of stone the ornament would be carved i nto as w ell as a f ew creative scenarios where the shell would be used.
