Merksem
The Merksem design competition asked for an addition to a old boys school built in the nearby suburb of Merksem, close to Brussels, Belgium. The School has a rich history built initially as a boys school in the 1800’s, then converted to a military headquarters during world war two and is now a secondary boys school. The School has had many renovations, creating a certain level of discontinuity between facades and interior spaces. The proposed renovation was to remove all existing renovations and add a new building. The materiality and facade responds to the existing forest condi-tion found on site. Highlighting the historic landscape and preserving the heritage of the existing building.

Gemert Medisch Centrum
The Gemert Medical centre is established in the town of Gemert. The site consists of an existing school and large playing �eld. The program of the site is very multi-functional. Incorporating a seniors citizens home, medical centre and pharmacy and an extension to the existing school. The mixed use of a relatively small area focuses on the idea of creating a tight knit community and the sharing of the facilities that are on site.

Tricotage Veenendaal
Veenendaal is technically considered a kulturhus because of its mixed program, but because of its speci�city to performance arts, its functionality is changed considerably. Dance is not only performance based, but also much of a dancers career is spent in a studio rehearsing, so a large amount of emphasis was placed on making the rehearsal space a much more viewable area. The public’s comfort in a dance theatre is very important, therefore the foyer space reserved for before and after performances needed to be comfortable for parents, audience members and dancers alike.

Kulturhus Niewkoop
With the Netherlands continual densi�cation, the programming of build-ings becomes more and more complex, with the increase of di�erent types of program incorporated into one structure. With the mixture of theatre, library and senior citizens home the building needed to have a complex, yet versatile interior which allowed for di�ering functions with a uni�ed feel.

Arts Centre Feasibility Study
With the rising population of Fort MacMurray due to the successes of Alberta’s oil sands, the city of Fort MacMurray has considered building an Arts Centre within the region.The greater Wood Bu�alo area has a large number of towns and villages within the region, in�uencing the placement of the centre. As well many other small communities have recently been developed and the city has established signi�cant plans for community, transit and cultural develop-ment.

Modelled and designed exclusively using Grasshopper for Rhino, the Autumn cooking school / dining Pavillion was designed to attract attention to the rich agricultural strength of the greater Toronto. The major in�u-ences to the actual space of the cooking school are quite simple. Heating and Ventilation. The canopy is divided into four control areas, each with a di�erent set of controls to increase or decrease the amount of ventiliation in each area, allowing for the conservation of heat, or to increase ventila-tion based on the continously changing environment.

CONTROL ZONE #1 CONTROL ZONE #2 CONTROL ZONE #3 CONTROL ZONE #4
In the drawing at the below it shows three potential scenarios of control required by the school below. Heat retention, natural light and ventilation are the three greatest changing needs of the program of the cooking school.
In the bottomr right are diagrams, using an older orthographid drawing, to show the inflections of the tent-pole-like primary structure. Different amounts of wind at different places cause the shell to react diferently, but when the cables holding the tertiary structure are tight, the panels do more to shed wind rather than to catch it and deflect the structure.

PRIMARY STRUCTURE
FLOOR ANCHOR WALL ANCHOR
SECONDARY STRUCTURE
TERTIARY STRUCTURE
CANOPY PANELS
Stretched fabric between the four pointscreated by both the secondary and thetertiary structure, the canopy panels are the solid element which encloses the space in order to create an “envelope”.
Reinforced by rings at the attaching corners,the edges are also doubled up in order to create some rigidity in the panel itself and to help bear axial tensile loads along the axis of its edge.
Consisting of rods running perpendicular to the secondary structure, the purpose ofthe tertiary structure is to support and to control the panel system. Each panel is stretched at two points between the secondarystructure and at the tops and bottoms of thetertiary structure as shown to the right.
The tertiary structure allows for rotation in one direction, allowing for the panel to in�ectchanges in its environment or changes requiredby the user. The angle and degree of change is in�uenced by whichever demand is higher.
When program below requires ventilation or light, the panels can be opened above by a setof cables running across the tertiary structure. In scenarios where the demand is not speci�c, thewind activity determines the angle and porosity.
The secondary structure is constructed by fouraluminium conduits about half an inch thick. Each of these are crimped in order to form a lap jointto join them together to form the rectangle thatis the basic unit for the canopy panels. The rods that form the tertiary structure has joinery at the corners of the secondary structure.
The crimped areas would also be where the structure would be bent in order to �t the pro�le of the form. These are attached to the primary structure through a subset of rods at the midpoints of certain parts of the secondary structure. This allows the panel itselfto be able to move and also ensure there is enough clearance for the fabric itself.
Composed of tent-pole-like elastic conduits, the primary structure is about 2-inches thick and made to span the canopy itself. It is attached to either wall or �oor anchors bolted to their respective surfaces. The structure should have some give and will �ex a small amount when lateral wind or rain forces act upon it. Above are the wall and �oor anchors for mounting the primary structure to the site.
Natatorium
The Natatorium was a school project aimed at creating a local swimming facility within an urban context, while providing a high level sports training facility. Required to contain an olympic sized length and diving pool, the buildings circulation needed to be direct and expedient. The two lower pools are linked visually and physically by a childrens pool, allowing for a view into both the diving tank, and the length pool.

Urban Revitilization
Based in the eroding South Parkdale Community in Toronto, Canada. The 3A combination urban planning/complex building program studio worked to push concepts of re-uniting isolated and segregated communities, usually the result of poor highway and transportation placement.The strategy pursued considers bridging as a major tool in battling commu-nity seggregation. This bridging condition is not isolated speci�cally to transportation veins, but also avoiding the disruption of public �ow through commercial and residential space.

Densi�ed Housing
Given the strict parameters of a 6.5m x 13m x 7m box, a single family home needed to be designed as an apartment unit.The apartment was based originally on an open space concept for dog pet owners, allowing the same levels of accessibility and privacy as a normal home, but for a much di�erent user group. Privacy is programmed into the space through a series of visual separations, opposed to physical ones. The window placement is to create light penetration throughout the space, so no room is ever given a direct view outwards, but all rooms are placed beside a corridor of light.

Winery
The Niagara region is convented land for Winery’s. Winery’s are a romantic idea, but at the same time are very technically demanding, and the program-matic organization is very strict in order to maintain consistent and well made wines.
The winery, being a re�ection of its product, is shaped by its environment, and its production facilities and access, allowing its shape and �ow to be in�uenced by its hilly environment. As well its production is divided into two categories, aging and processing. The two are very distinct, and the buildings shape is characterized by this. The Publics interaction is secondary in consid-eration to the functionality of the production speci�c facility. The public realm wraps around the building, but only interacts directly with the facility

A Chair for Alexandre Despatie
Posed with the challenge to design and building a fully functioning, dynamic chair for a speci�c person or celebrity, in our team of two we chose to produce a chair inspired by Alexandre Despatie, Canadian olympic medallist.
We decided to classify the divers movements into two and a half catego-ries. Straight Position, before or after the divers rotation. The tuck position where the diver can rotate or spin the fastest. And the third category is the transitionary phase between no motion and motion. We used this analysis
