This intervention on a Venetian courtyard is a manifestation of a body of research into the invisible connections and hidden dimensions within the urban context; systematic and personal relationships, and how they interweave with the human subconscious well of shared experiences and knowledge. The resultant eventspace/staircase is a means of engaging within the invisible context by strengthening local social relationships. The stair explores formal aesthetics, natural lighting, visual connections and helps establish boundaries while vertically connecting areas of use.

The initial step towards investigating Venice started from the building of a portable imprinting machine which allowed me to create imprints of various elements and textures in Venice onto paper for further investigation later. The machine relied on a simple transfer method from the pins which would ‘read’ the surface to a activator layer of wet sponge, to a cartridge of ink (aka. dry ink soaked paper) and onto paper. The process distorts the texture and creates unexpected elaborate morphologies.

SITE‘Great Coffee’ Courtyard

[10]

The proposal aims to dematerialize a wall dividing two courtyards to emphasize the breaking down of the forth wall between actor and audience. The proposal limits the audience to one side of the wall, the Great Coffee courtyard, while encouraging two plays to occur, one in each courtyard. The first play takes on a very traditional relationship between actor and audience, while the second play occurring out of sight, expect for the glimpses caught in the movable mirrors, will emphasize the inherent distance in acting. We use the metaphor of the three traditional parts of a theatre with its theatron or raked seating area for the audience; the stage where the first troupe would perform, and the backstage where the second troupe would be.

My spring semester project was derived from my investigations on site with the rotating panoramic pin-hole camera. The resultant shape is an accidental yet fl uid form which captures the irregularities in the speed of the rotation of the camera and is directly derived from one of the photographs captured there. I have used this form to begin exploring light in an attempt to recreate the ephemeral qualities of the photograph, which are a product of the registration process, through the use of various architectural methods.

The selected site is located just within the entrance to a natural preserve. This location combined with the proposal program will encourage a change in perspective towards nature conservation as a method that must inevitably involve humanity as a participant instead of a menace. The island already has a strong history of human intervention in its natural history. The island has gone through an almost complete deforestation in its recent centuries and all the current grown landscape is a product of human intervention in partnership with nature. This encourages a more hands on approach to nature.

The program is a small scale educational centre and seed archive. The goal of the facilities is to educate on the use of a diverse range of both edible crops as well as a variety of local fauna, and to encourage interaction with the natural landscape. The primary target group is families and children, many of them seasonal residents here, who could begin to foster a relationship with the natural surroundings - something many young children are lacking in this digital age.

The Haunting Aarhus Workshop brought together the entire collection of Master’s candidates for two weeks of intensive design and fabrication work. Each group of 6 had to choose a site along a major pedestrian route in the city and activate it in a subtle way. The goal of our intervention was to reveal an overlooked space of the city; a large thick hedge. We prototyped and build a perascope as well as staged a small tableaux within the hedge which would encourage people to look for the unexpected. We used three sets of lights to illuminate different elements of the scene in order to build drama. The device and performance acted together to create the overall affect and draw out the qualities of the site.

The re-design for the Canadian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale is an exploration into the phenomenological in architecture. Subtle detailing and an in-depth investigation into the various architectural effects are used create atmospherically charged spaces. Thepavilion aims establish contemplative spaces to reconnect the Biennale visitor with the environment and offering a retreat from the sensory overload experienced when traveling from exhibition to exhibition. Lighting, circulation and public spaces are merged to

the site. This pavilion bridges the gap between nature and building, interior and exterior and the gallery to public space.

The Light_Scape consists of individual, easy to handle cubes, each containing a tri-colour LED that cycle through a spectrum of colour. The modular shape of the light cubes allows the user to freely explore limitless

With the assistance of the Bata Shoe Museum and Ryerson University, Light_Scape was accepted into the 2013 Scotiabank Nuit Blanche under the [R]ed[U]x lab. As one of the three original artist involved I was instrumental in adhering to a realistic budget and meeting client expectations. The project required intensive on and off site coordination to fabricate the individual components. The installation was very well received gathering local media coverage and even making CTV shortlist of the top 10 installations of the year at number 6. Participants greatly enjoyed the installation and produced exceptional pixel art beyond our expectations.

The Busan Opera House is an opera house located on a man-made island development in Busan, South Korea, an area

a majestic ship docked at the port of Busan. Procession became a primary generator of form as the skeletal steel structure housed the programmatic elements connected by a traversing wooden pedestrian bridge. The hull shaped theaters are optimized for performances and encompass the public event space below. The grand ramp grounds the facility and leads to an observation deck. Continuous site lines give visitors a sense of continuity linking the opera house with the beach life and marine culture.

Home to the Moscow International Film Festival, the Pushkinsky Theatre strives to embody the spirit of innovation and projection contained during its inception 50 years ago. The redesigned facade protrudes into the park with the insertion of a large glass scrim, appearing transparent by day and as a silver-screen by night (smart glass). This new cinematic device connects the park with the ceremonial entry terrace via a set of stairs and reconstructed pedestrian bridge. A projecting restaurant grants dramatic views of the historic Pushkinsky Square Park. The new MIFF building will include additional theaters stacked in an iconic light tower on the west side of the building, with more theaters tucked under the main ceremonial entrance terrace.

Upon the completion of my undergraduate degree at Ryerson I found a design position at Taylor_Smyth Architects, a

Toronto Institute of Child Study. It is a fascinating project which has tested my understanding of context and my ability to problem solve creatively. The institute simultaneously houses a research facility, a university and an elementary school; servicing people of all ages with various requirements for limited facilities. I worked within a small team spearheaded by the principal and I was regularly challenged to conceive of spaces at a level of rigor previously unattained during my educational career.

My internship at KLF provided me with valuable knowledge regarding the blurred professional boundaries of architecture and planning. The work investigated planning and architectural strategies as seen through competition entries and employed systems which attempted to hybridize the professional thresholds. My time was divided primarily between two competitions, the Future Cities – Siddesborg, Finland and the New Taipei City Museum of Art. Both entries were research heavy and explored interventions at various scales to produce a variety of effects.
