This project seeks the opportunity to explore some of the formal qualities that new technological advancements can provide for both designers and builders alike.The design for the roof aims to bring the qualities that light wells would bring to subway station platforms. It’s an exploration of form as well as structure in that the continous structure touches the ground level at points which are qualified as columns.
Revamping Union Station
union station roofscape
Union station is an arterial station since it connects the PATH system which is highly populated during the rush hours, more specifically in the morning and afternoon hours by people working in the area. Moreover, the TTC subway station brings thousands of commuters and in a similar fashion Metrolinx’s Go systems as well as Via Rail. Therefore this area is highly populated and often times serves as the initial point of contact for visitors from other cities or provinces.It is important to provide an interesting design that is structurally feasible
Connection of main routes
The means by which the station platform’s acess is multi-directional. Thereforethere is a freedom of moulding the roof in a way that acomodates this directionality.
The points in which the structure will touch the ground level have been determinedby optimizing movement and compromising traffic the least amound possible.
Shadow studies have determined the shadow pattern that the light wells will provide as an average during the period of morning rush hour.
The integrity of the project lies in preserving the existing tracks in order to preserve this national heritage. The movement of commuters in the trask is quite linear in an east to west direction or vice versa.
The negative form is created.
The modules are then populated inbrick-tile pattern
The prototype is once fully populated with the appropriate tiles
Concrete is then poured over the tiles in order to create the final smooth finish
It is then discretized by ligning stripsin a north south direction
The strips are also placed in a east-west direction

Finalised form
The strips are also placed in a east-west direction
The normals of each discretised surface is taken and extruded in separate modules

The Geometric Method Statement
Since the form of the roof does not follow a certain pattern it does not have a particular geometry method statement. Instead it works with a grid and coordinate system. The grid is used to place the points of contacts between columns and ground (platforms). The second order of coordinate sets are the points where the surface flattens to become a terrace. Then the borders of the “caps” are done at manufacturers pre-fabricated pieces. This goes for the mezanine level with the elaborate sinous curves that adhere to the geometrical principles of the overall form. The optimized form for the cap is chosen by optimization from Ecotect and sunlight evaluations.
Dissection of a single module is then analysed and broken in further elements

This particular project uses the opportunity for the St. Mary Secondary School’s need for space to provide and give back to the community around. It facilitates a swimming pool for kids from the school with mental disabilities. It creates spaces such as hockey arenas and skating rinks, basketball courts to bring both the school and community together as one.
Giving to the Community
dufferin grove community centre
The cantilever that faces the mall along Dufferin Rd. uses the cantilever as an opportunity to expose the activites that undergo in the parking lot. This includes the farmers market during the summer and spring, carnavals as well as scheduled activities within the community. Moreover, the parti of the building is devided into a number of partitions as each belong to a specific kind of physical activity. Since the building doesn’t get used for most of the day it can conserge more energy from a building science point of view

A series of section that cut along the revealing areas of the building. There has been careful consideration from an energy conservation standpoint to acomodate glazing between the swimming pool area and the skating arena. The key areas also include the transition between the auditorium and the viewing areas of the swimming pool.

Rendering of the front of the building, stairs and ramps leading to the entrance.Cantilevered auditorium
Visualization of the back of the building, including key amenities such asswimming pool, skating rink, hockey arena and gymnasium
The ambition of this project is to create a quasi-imaginary space that guides program by sound. Depending on the soundscape or music, different materials and well as lighting would conjure different spaces. As opposed to design pre-determining space which is often the case for designers this space allows for the sound to take over the design of the space.
A space for sound
an edmosphere
A series of section that cut along the revealing areas of the building. There has been careful consideration from an energy conservation standpoint to acomodate glazing between the swimming pool area and the skating arena. The key areas also include the transition between the auditorium and the viewing areas of the swimming pool.
The sphere itself consists of a geodesic system in which the interior layer contains acoustic panels that would both amplify and dampen sound whereas the exterior layer is used as a mantel for heating and cooling.The floor is created by the MERO system which employs sphere joints in order to allow for flexibility on the floor and create smoothness and free-flow of movement.
Rapid prototyping gave an opportunity to study the formality as well as the texture that the created space would provide. It gave a better understanding of how the assemblies would join together
The Focus of this particular project is the study of open space and building typologies. A close examination is put on how specific identities of open spaces on building type can be enhanced expanded or even altered in its affiliation with another typology. The concept of typology can be understood not only through its dimensional and programmatic parameters but also as potential settings for cultural and social interactions within the city.

Addition of a tower to allow for movement in both directionscourtyard stretched
Addition of a third tower to see howlight is affected. New passage createdadditional courtyard placed at podium
Two additional towers placed. Overallrotation in X-shape
Towers oriented in four directions,facing one another. Floors plates also extended to support courtyards
By looking at the overall composition of the hybrid.
Courtyards are bridging access between towers.
Light investigation. The upper courtyards recaive more light, as well cavities have been created in order to allow light for lower courtyards.
Typologies placed side by side-scale analysis
Branching off the road in [S] and [N] directions. Bars work in modules hence the further blocks have been augmented in height
Population of road with mode barbuildings, different length. They have all derived from one module.
Removal of external façade of building.Working with structural systems.Also investigation of stacking as wellas bridging between buildings
Arranging a few blocks from their points of access with the road.
Introduction of façades as well as arrangements of buildings.Composition of one module
25
A perspective of bar- road relationship
Overall perspective with built form andfaçade system
It is evident that the geometry of the road dictates the arrangement of buildings. Horizontal and narrow plan
26
Attractor points work similar tonodes in that they magnetize a given element, in this casemovement
Introducing the courtyard to this idea.We can see how the movement will turnout.
Addition of cores into the view Floor plates as well as façade
Less attractor points in this case as the roadcontains less branching
It becomes more evident that movement is guided by the access points throughout the built forms
A perspective view from the houses everything is guidedby lines that represent movement throughout the built forms
