THESIS SCHEMATIC RENDERINGS

PROJECT THESIS - WATERFRONT TORONTO
DESCRIPTION Toronto’s Gardiner Expressway has been a controversial subject since the mid-1980’s. Various proposals have been suggested to bury the freeway to allow healthy spaces for pedestrians and cyclists. The Waterfront Thesis focuses on paving a large channel of water that would rest where the Gardiner sits today. Schematic renderings are effective tools to share ideas of usage and ambiance of the place. These drawings display the overall architectural forms while focusing on how the program works with the site and context.

PROJECT DOWNTOWN AJAX PROPOSAL
DESCRIPTION The Town of Ajax was formed due to its involvement in World War II with a shell-producing factory which later converted to Ajax Index Steam Plant. The town has grown dramatically around the steamplant and is now looking for a sustainable, viable downtown core that considers the town’s social and environmental values. For this downtown proposal, Quadrangle Architects has presented this timeline to the city council acknowledging that we understand the town’s history, its values and its vision for 2055.

BIOMIMICRY WATER DESIGN CHALLENGE
DESIGNER DHRUV SONI
PROJECT BIOMIMICRY DESIGN CHALLENGE
DESCRIPTION The Biomimicry Design Challenge allows us to rethink our current ideologies of water supply and filtration systems. We can enhance them to develop a more sustainable approach approach to use and preserve water. We need to treat our large-scale urban buildings as intuitive, self-sustaining ecosystems that filter, retain, distribute and release water. This model maximizes the usage of storm water while allocating its use to appropriate functions in the building. Many inspirations are derived from water organisms such as water tunicates and dolphins. This proposal incorporates the techniques used by these organisms to decrease our dependence on external sources of water.

PROJECT TORONTO TRANSIT EXPERIENCE
DESCRIPTION Personal experiences always dictate design tastes, values and approach. Like most designers living in a metropolis, we observe, record and apply these urban experiences in our design practices. Photography is a effective tool to perform such recording taks. This collection of images captures and transforms uneventful daily scenarios and applies humor and interest with the help of graphic alterations.
