    Sticks is Canadian, from Ontario.

    The client is the Hart House Farm, a 150

    acre property cradled in the Caledon hills

    on the ridge of the Niagara Escarpment

    about one hour from Toronto.

    The project outline is to design a 100

    square foot bunk house on the Hart House

    Farm Property. The bunk will be a part of

    a larger master plan of the farm, to be

    completed in stages.

    University of Toronto

    Stones is a Spaniard.

    The client is Mallorca island, a paradise

    on earth with an amazing humanized

    landscape, a human nature miracle.

    The project is the reconstruction of the roof

    on a portion of the existing building. One

    of the primary objectives of the design is

    how to use light as a building material.

    The walls of the existing building are up

    to one meter thick, the play between the

    heaviness of stone and how light enters

    the building was of constant importance.

    Our proposition for the Dufferin Grove

    Community Centre fi nds its roots based in

    timber construction, its materiality, and the

    structural celebration of its capabilities.

    Wood was a clear choice for a community

    center, as it brings with it a sense of warmth

    and intimacy while celebrating the hand

    of the maker upon it.

    It is important to us that the Community

    Centre does not overwhelm its occupants

    with technology or new age material,

    but instead allows them to gaze upon a

    structural system that is innovative and

    achievable at the same time.

    Nunavuts relative isolation from the

    rest of the nation has made it a territory

    dependent on importation.

    As such, functioning port infrastructures

    have become imperative in sustaining

    its communities. With little to export in

    return incoming shipments will often leave

    behind empty shipping containers.

    In October of 2012, the Housing

    Corporation initiated the sale of 1000 of

    these units to government departments,

    local housing agencies, and the general

    public.

    Supervisor: Stephen Verderber

    University of Toronto

    Superstudio aimed to explore design at

    an urban scale through the redesign of a

    changing neighborhood in Toronto along

    Dufferin Street between College and Bloor

    Streets.

    This proposal looked at food security in

    urban environments and how to rethink

    how we add density into cities.

    By increasing open spaces and

    encouraging the community to take

    ownership of public spaces and parks

    though various food production programs

    and infrastructure
