Monday and Thursday are studio days, even in Rome. Overlooking the vibrant Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere is the fourth year studio, a chaotic but cozy space immersed in the frenzy of the ancient city. Trips to Melville are replaced by frequent trips to Cafe San Calisto and empty wine bottles litter the studio. When the class isn’t off sketching their way through the north and south of Italy, they can occasionally be found hunched...
Monday and Thursday are studio days. On these days in particular, the third floor undergraduate studio is filled with a frenetic energy of design, research and exploration. Students can usually be found talking excitedly with design professors and classmates in a habitat saturated with trace sketches, study models and empty coffee cups. Every Monday we’ll share a completed project, churned out from this energetic studio environment. Arch 393 / Dereck Revington studio coordinator Proteus Moves Project by...

For one night the Grand House was revived, once again filled with raucous architecture students as we revisited a remarkable four months spent in Rome. All the furniture was pushed aside to to make room for the work of the graduating class of 2013. The walls of the living room were covered in a diverse range of projects focusing on the developing post-industrial neighbourhood of Ostiense in Rome. Studio desk lamps illuminated the suspended proposals...
A few weeks ago now, the sun beat down, the humidex was beyond bearable, yet the fourth year class persevered through conceiving, mounting and exploring twelve landscape installations throughout downtown Galt. The study of Contemporary Landscape, led by Elise Shelley, first tasked groups to investigate the pedagogy of a specific landscape architect who has been influential in the development of the profession. Through this understanding of an approach to landscape design, students were then challenged...
Each fall the 4A class departs for the highly anticipated Rome Term, four months spent immersed in the history of Rome studying the origins of the city. We followed in the footsteps of the years before us traveling to Paestum and Pompeii in the south, visiting Urbino, Vincenza and Venice to the north. Weeks were spent collaborating through workshops in Cagliari, Rome and Sabaudia. Countless hours were spent observing and sketching the city and the...

Though The Stop’s Night Market is over until next year, there are still many projects and their designers to be exposed to those of us not lucky enough to attend. I sat down with Amrit and Tae of Lokki Studio to talk about their experience and contribution to the event. Long time friends and current masters students, Tiffany Chiang, Michael Bootsma, Taehyung Kim and Amrit Phull formed Lokki Studio from a shared belief in the value...
