    the supply and demand of innocence

    Child-sex trafficking is a vicious cycle almost impossible to escape. Girls as young as six enter the system by force and deception and suffer rape, torture, drug addiction and even death. Escaping the brothel is difficult, but can happen. Many nonprofit organizations in India work to rescue girls from Kamathipura, Mumbais oldest brothel, but the number of existing rescue houses is nowhere near close to being able to accommodate the number of girls in need of protection. The two most common options for girls once they escape the brothel is to return home, where they are often cruelly stigmatized, or go back to the streets and risk re-entry into the world of prostitution. The girls are rarely able to return to their former lives and suffer many mental and physical disabilities. Shelter, nutrition, education, and therapy are crucial to allow these victims to move on and reintegrate into society. This proposed rehabilitation center will help give them the time and space to heal and arm them with the education and skills to succeed as independent women in their new lives.

    the root of the problem: Kamathipura, Mumbais oldest and Asias 2nd largest red-light district

    Trinity Bellwoods Park, Toronto, Ontario cafe entrance with take-out window

    The site of Trinity Bellwoods Community Center was proposed for a prominent park in Toronto, Ontario. The design of the center needed to reflect the cultural and social importance of the park to the neighbourhood and act as a beacon and key meeting place for the area residents. Focus was placed on framing vistas of the surrounding natural landscape and allowing for maximum natural daylighting.

    A long narrow lot drove the final form of this mixed-use residential building. The complicating factor being that glazing was restricted along both sides of the building in order to allow for the construction of future adjacent buildings. To bring daylight into each unit required a terraced approach so light could penetrate the north and south facing walls. Providing private and communal outdoor space was also a key element in the design, as the site is located in downtown Toronto where greenspace is scarce and where the traditional apartment block can create challenges to a strong sense of community.

    inspiration: Tommy Thompson Park,former construction waste site reclaimed by nature

    ground floor

    second floor

    third floor

    fourth floor with rooftop

    The vision of the Henry Moore Waterfront Gallery was inspired by Tommy Thompson Park, the former construction waste site now eroded, overgrown and reclaimed by nature. To best describe the experience of the lands dramatic transformation and return to the wild the gallery was designed so that the visitor ascends a wide spiral staircase from the ground floor, a dark enclosed barrel, up into increasingly light infused levels until finally emerging onto the rooftop open to nature and the elements.

    To emphasize the importance of the art, all exterior distractions were eliminated through the absence of windows, the spaces lit only from a central skylight above. Deepening the intimate relationship between viewer and sculpture, the staircase rises through the atrium allowing for multiple, unobstructed, 360 degree views of the featured works.

    This series captures the hidden beauty in decay, juxtaposing two phenomena of the built environment. The first, the drama and impressiveness of a pristine, newly unveiled structure. The second layer and meaning is formed after a building has had time to age, seen use by generations and developed deep character. As an architect, it is important to find beauty and appreciation in a structure long after it has expired, planning and accepting how a building will grow old and decay.

    IBI Group provided architectural and planning services for the feasibility and conceptual design of an intermodal transit terminal along with associated mixed-use development. The study included updating the inventory of current ground transportation services at Toronto Pearson International Airport, and identifying future ground transportation services, intermodal terminal requirements and candidate site locations prior to concept design. A schematic design and master plan were also generated for future mixed-use development at Area 6A associated with the new intermodal terminal based on built form explorations and development plot calculations.

    assisted in the 3d massing and visualisation studies for the redevelopment of Area 6 around Viscount Station and hotel + retail mall as part of the Terminal 1 extension

    In response to the existing site, the design vision for Dufferin Station draws upon the activity from the intersection and mimics the dynamic movement of pedestrians both at street level and within the station. The Entrance buildings propose a vibrant, revitalized streetscape for the entire community while establishing a landmark for the neighbourhood. Criteria determined by workshop and design guidelines, as well as the nature of the site proposed for Dufferin Station leads to a series of spaces which offer the potential of a smooth interface to creat a unique spatial flow. It is this `flow` that the design team wanted to capture in the vision: the flow of people, the flow of space, the flow of materials.

    ground floor demolition plan ground floor plan

    Clean lines and versatility were the key elements to this residential renovation. An old, obtrusive fireplace was transformed into a sleek and slender floating form, in harmony with the rest of the reimagined space. The existing wall between kitchen and dining room was removed for a more open, airy feeling.

    As part of a team of four, a new gymnasium and set of classrooms was designed for this existing elementary school. The design provides ample natural light through the use of large glazed walls and clerestory glazing.
