THESIS: House(Craft)

December 10, 2015

Katherine’s thesis explores the opportunities provided by this concept of ownership and mobility. Individual units could become highly tuned to the person(s) occupying them – morphing each unit into an indispensable platform from which users occupy a city. This new concept of home would allow an increasingly mobile population to resituate with ease – finally reconstituting home with our wandering lifestyle. She will defend her thesis on Wednesday December 16th, 2015 at 10 AM in ARC 1001 [Cummings Lecture Theatre].

THESIS: Expanded Enclosure

December 9, 2015

In his thesis, Yasir states that architecture does not need to be either closed and subdivided, or open and gradated. He instead explores amalgamations of both through a design proposal of a hypothetical library based in Amman, Jordan. The program of a modern library calls for variations in privacy, climate and storage, making it ideal for such an exploration. The site’s predictable climate also allows greater degrees of experimentation in the enhancement of spaces. He will defend his thesis on Monday December 14th, 2015 at 10:30 AM in ARC 2026

Student Work/ Invisible Landscape: Toronto’s Hidden Natures

December 7, 2015

The last of a series of selected projects from this past summer’s 2B studio (ARC 293), Amir Ghazanfari proposes ‘Frankenstein’, a center for experiential use of plants in water treatment. He combines two opposing programs – a water treatment facility and educational facility – through overlapping flows of space. The strategic location welcomes the public to engage in new experiences of juxtaposed programs.

Thesis: Spacebook in the Personalized Metropolis

December 6, 2015

In his thesis, Tristan looks at the social changes implied by a digital culture in architecture and the impacts of this relationship in spatial notions of the contemporary North American public realm. He investigates the changes caused by the privatization of public space and the introduction of ubiquitous mobile computing (and accompanying social networks) and puts forth sets of design proposals. Tristan will defend his thesis on Monday December 14, 2015 at 1:00pm at the BRIDGE Centre for Architecture + Design.

THESIS: The Making of Chang-Shin District

December 5, 2015

In his thesis, Hyunjoon Yang studies the process of a synergistic dialogue between top-down and bottom-up processes of urban development. Keeping in mind key questions of the formation of the district, its historical and cultural characteristics, and its evolved modern face and functionality, Hyunjoon looks to enrich urban life in the district. He will defend his thesis at UWSA on Monday December 7th at 2:30pm in ARC 2026.

Student Work/ Invisible Landscape: Toronto’s Hidden Natures

December 1, 2015

As part of a series of selected projects from this past summer’s 2B studio (ARC 293), Michelle Lin proposes ‘Walk in the Forest’, a proposal for a green burial cemetery. The visitor is led through a series of programmes that progress deeper into the forests of the Don: a greenhouse and cafe, to a garden centre, into the funeral homes and finally to a chapel that rests on the top of a hill.

THESIS: Urban Design and Development of a Public Space

November 25, 2015

Continuing with Kitchener’s initiative to establish urban design at the human scale and introduce contemporary building ideas, Tahoora Alimohammadi’s thesis looks to expand work and living opportunities in the city center with the proposal of a new intermodal transit hub in the heart of that growing downtown core. This design proposal seeks to create an intimate relationship between public life, infrastructure and people.
The defense will take place on on Thursday November 26, 2015 at 1:30pm in ARC 2003, University of Waterloo School of Architecture

Student Work/ Invisible Landscape: Toronto’s Hidden Natures

November 23, 2015

As part of a series of selected projects from this past summer’s 2B studio (ARC 293), Alexandra Sermol proposes SHROOMS R US, a proposal that addresses ground and runoff water contamination in the Don River Valley. This intervention focuses on remediation through the production of mushrooms; within which a network of cells, called mycelium, filter heavy metals and other contaminants out of ground water. The system engages a sectional relationship of the site, enabling proximities, movements and growing environments.
