Moon Trip
Humans have always been transfixed on the omnipresence of circles in the universe. From the eternal rotation of planets around the sun, to the gravitational orbit of space crafts and space stations, a circle’s infinite nature represents life and exploration.
Toronto's Last Mile
Rethinking Toronto’s Last Mile is an architectural intervention regarding Toronto’s current and unsustainable model for city logistics. This proposal hopes to create a community space that integrates three novel methods of urban freight movement into the city’s existing transportation infrastructure. The system introduced to Toronto’s framework is based on co-modality, “integrating passenger and freight transport systems”1 as an “efficient use of different modes on their own and in combination.”2 By designing a relationship between methods of freight on transit, micro-mobility delivery, and self-collection lockers; this thesis aims to create a comprehensive city freight movement that complements the daily activities in major locations of the downtown community- Toronto’s subway stations.
Fort York Master Planning
With Strachan Avenue and Wellington Street becoming a major intersection, and the open stretch of green space connecting Stanely Park to Toronto’s lakefront, this site is an ideal location for a Toronto Museum. Within 5 minutes walking distance from historical Fort York pedestrians can take a walk across the retail / café boardwalk for a direct connection to the museum.
Toronto Island Pools
The Island Pools project explores the relationship between human interaction with gardens. The project searches for the diverse purposes that cultivated plants give when associated with architecture. This project reveals four types of typologies exhibiting the connections between architecture to green space – enclosed interior, adjacent exterior, transitional pathways and ‘parkscapes’. These methodologies are further developed by introducing the use of various plant species, transforming greenspaces to gardens. From tending vegetables to harvesting aromatic plants, and from oasis zones to poolside shade, The Island Pools project probes the exchange of human existence between architecture and garden.
