INTERESTED IN THE SOCIAL AND CULTURAL DISCOURSE AFFORDED BY THE

EXPRESSIONS OF ART AND ARCHITECTURE, I SEEK TO ESTABLISH AN INTERNATIONAL DIALOGUE WITH WHICH
TO EXPLORE THE CAPACITIES OF SUCH
EXPRESSIONS. RECENT WORK IS GOVERNED BY A CALCULATED AND METHODICAL EXECUTION, CONSIDERATION OF THE URBAN FABRIC, AND A
SENSITIVITY TO THE LESS ILLUMINATED
QUALITIES OF URBANITY.
IN ADDITION, I CAN CONTRIBUTE EXPERIENCE WITH INTERNATIONAL DESIGN,
STRUCTURAL INSTALLATION, AND PROJECT MARKETING/ADMINISTRATION.

To apply skills from both previous work experiences and

the academic setting into more valuable cooperative
employment, as well as further explore new skills in a
more practical work environment. The opportunity to take
a placement at a professional practice is an invaluable
resource through the process of architectural studies. It
informs both immediate application of practical lessons
and future development of idea/execution.

350mm x 350mm stacked lumber that
addresses human comfort and dimensionality. Taking cues from Sou Fujimotos Final
Wooden House the pavillion is a response

schedule of programme, occupancy and

the project was developed to establish an
understanding of residential architecture
in an urban context and an introduction to

occupant consideration.

An exercise to challenge design considerations focused on material capacity

alone. The graceful stallactite-like form
is achieved with 500 bio-degradeable
take-out packages, altered only slightly
to produce a structural system. Accomplished without any means of mechanical
or adhesive fastenings, the project was a

great success, meeting all of the project

ambitions and sructural merit.

The project is the most recent academic

project to date, currently unfinished. An
exercise in understanding a larger urban
context, and the implications of massing and programmatic adjacences at all
levels on a site. At the corner of College St.
and Spadina Ave. in Toronto, Canada the
proposed programme will include; retail;

public gallery of urban art; restaurant and

bar; adjacent performance space; SRO
residential units, monastic artist cells; MSF
dedicated offices; 6000m2 leaseable
open-plan office space. To accomodate the
diversity of programme, the project seeks
to negotiate podium and tower, efficiency
and sterility.
