description
A selection of works from both my professional and educational architectural career. Primarily the work focuses on Commercial and Public projects, with an emphasis on sustainability, integration with natural systems and on-site materials. Professional projects were completed as an employee of Toker + Associates Architecture Industrial Design (Calgary, AB, Canada, 2008-2010), RoboFold (London, UK, 2011), and biothing (London, UK, 2012). Educational research was conducted while attending Carleton University School of Architecture (Ottawa, ON, Canada, 2004-2008) and the Architectural Association (London, UK, 2010-2012).

Hanna Regional Community CentReToker + Associates, Architecture Industrial Design Ltd. Location: Hanna, AB, Canada Size: 16,000 ft2 Date: 2010-2011
The Hanna Regional Community Centre is a new development, including a regulation gymnasium, dance studio, fitness area, pre-school, cafe, and gathering atrium.
Kathleen was involved in the project from January 2010 to August 2010. Kathleen was part of the team responsible for conceptual design, design development, sustainable strategies. and 50% construction documents. The Hanna regional Community Centre was opened in November 2011.

The Alberta Enegy Office Rejuvenation is a phased project, and a full tenant ‘fit-out’ for 12 floors. The project focused on sustainable strategies, change management and durability.
Kathleen was involved in the project from 2009 to August 2010 and was part of the team responsible for cultural engagement, conceptual design, design development, and construction drawings. Kathleen also lead the sustainable initiatives, beginning the process towards LEED certification.

JaspeR fitness CentReToker + Associates, Architecture Industrial Design Ltd. Location: Jasper, AB, Canada Date: 2009 - November 2011
The Jasper Fitness Centre is a significant renovation to the existing activity centre and the addition of a fitness centre to the aquatic centre. Located in a provincial park environmental sensitivity was a priority.
Kathleen was involved in the project from 2009 to August 2010 and was part of the team responsible for conceptual design, sustainable strategies and design development. The Fitness centre opened in November 2011.

tRiClaD inteRioR aRCHiteCtuRal ClaDDingRoboFold Ltd. RoboFold is a unique patented method to form metal directly with 6-axis industrial robots. No mold-tools are required to form the metal, letting you explore variation in the geometry of each part. The entire process is simulated in CAD (Computer Aided Design) software; this means that you can design within the manufacturing constraints.
The TriClad interior architectural cladding system was designed and executed in this manner. It is targeted at high end interiors projects such as retail and receptions.
Kathleen was part of the team responsible for designing the system, specifically Kathleen was involved in the wall fastener componenet, visualizations, exhibit design and publication material.

CRystal ClouDs: tHesisArchitectural Association, Design Research Lab Location: Baltic Sea Date: 2011-2012
In response to current architecture which is disconnected from the natural onsite processes, Crystal
Clouds, a phase-changing architectural system, has been embedded and intrinsically connected to its
ecosystem. It brings natural processes to the forefront of the construction process maintains an on-going
relationship with the surrounding ecosystem as it is continually adapts to the changing landscape.

mateRial footpRints: RobotiC swaRm fabRiCationArchitectural Association, Design Research Lab In a swarm the individual is secondary to the group, the logic of each individual is the same, and decisions are made on a local scale. In dealing with fabrication the potential strength is in the development of a device which would operate in cooperation with others of the same species.
This Bottom Up approach meant that each device was given a set of rules to operate by, rather than a directive of the final outcome, or specific instructions of which way to go. The logic and coding developed for these devices drew inspiration from the basic rules of a swarm system including Positive Feedback Negative Feedback, Amplification of Randomness, and Multiple Interactions.
Individual Boat Details Plans
ResiDential DevelopmentBachelor of Architectural Studies, Carleton University School of Architecture Brief Part1: Master Plan 1 block located behind Notre Dame Cathedral in Ottawa Canada Part2: Select a small typical area of the layout and develop the details of the individual unit Part3: Exploring a small section of the eveloped units design a structural system
Concept This project out of an interest in naturally occuring patterns in biology. Winding paths on multiple levels connect each unit to semipublic roof top gardens and ground level public courtyards. Plants were integrated as seasonal moderators of spacce in terms of light and temperature and created a landscape conducive to public gathering.

CulinaRy instituteBachelor of Architectural Studies, Carleton University School of ArchitectureLoation: Ottawa, ON, Canada
The main goal of this project was to explore the interaction between private and public space and the boundaries which divide and join them. The Culinary Institute includes programmatic space for a residence, common areas, classrooms, practice kitchens, and a restaurant.
Based on the idea that cooking is a form of chemistry with a direct effect on the body, the inspiration behind this project was the intricate forms of organic chemistry. It also dealt with naturopathic cooking and included environmental initiatives such as green wastewater treatment and organic herb gardens.
