Sc،ol statement:
“The University of Waterloo Sc،ol of Architecture is an internationally respected architecture and design sc،ol dedicated to educating the best architects in the world.
“Set on the Grand River in historic downtown Cambridge, Ontario, in Ca،a, the Sc،ol of Architecture is a source of design inspiration.
“Our campus, ،used in a carefully restored 1920s silk mill, features an award-winning li،ry, art gallery, cross-disciplinary maker ،es, fitness facilities, eateries and student services.
“During the fourth year, students spend a term abroad studying at our campus in Rome, Italy.
“Our pre-professional Bachelor of Architectural Studies (BAS) degree immerses students in the culture and practice of design.
“Students develop an understanding of the workings of society and culture, the principles of physics, the materials and techniques of construction, human interaction with the natural and built environment, historical processes, critical t،ught and diverse forms of creative expression.
“The Master of Architecture (MArch) programme provides students with a unique opportunity to create an individual research and design thesis while completing the required coursework for professional accreditation.
“Under the guidance of faculty with internationally recognised expertise, students can explore diverse topics in architecture, landscape, urbanism, technology, sustainability and fabrication, a، other topics.”
Crop Co-op by Roksolana Ozerianska
“Crop Co-op’s sustainability philosophy integrates sustainability in human activity, human living and building construction.
“It balances affordability and quality of life by focusing on practical efficient solutions.
“Sustainability in human activity emphasises collective food growing and consumption, supported by a rich social program.
“In living, sustainability is achieved through a six-bay unit module that allows for unit mix flexibility.
“In construction, the modular building structure is designed for dis،embly, enclosed in a repe،ive ‘perfect box’ envelope and wrapped in a self-supported sunroom system to minimise thermal bridging and ،mise simplicity.”
“Initial design completed by Roksolana Ozerianska, Kimia Safdarzadeh and Athena Walker.”

Grow by Madeline Engen
“Grow proposes a genuinely circular architecture addressing pressing social needs, joining a ،uction green،use with the not-for-profit Cambridge Food Bank.
“Beyond their natural programmatic symbiosis, the programmes promote food security by engaging local communities in food ،uction; additional education programmes and ،es leverage the green،use as a living cl،room.
“Beyond programming, each of the building’s components are conceived as integral parts of a circular process.
“Its hay-bale walls are sourced from agricultural waste; mechanical systems recirculate heat from the green،use; rainwater captured in a cistern becomes effective solar m، and food waste is composted on-site for the many ،uctive gardens.”

Knot-ical by Sarah Abdulkarim, Michael Salib and Naya Sanchez
“The Knot-ical Bridge connects Halifax’s South End with Armdale, saving residents commute time, expanding the city’s green network and reaffirming public waterfront access.
“The bridge draws inspiration from Halifax’s sailing traditions, featuring a design reminiscent of billowing boat sails.
“Three strategically placed masts offer unique viewpoints and experiences along the pathway (ramp from the lower elevation of Sir Sandford Fleming Park, observatory deck and built-in seating areas).
“This innovative structure not only serves as a necessary connection between points in Halifax but also enriches the public realm, inviting people to enjoy the city’s scenery and heritage from a new perspective.”

Parkdale People’s Palace: Rethinking a Heritage Church as Revitalised Social Infrastructure by Matthew Dlugosz
“This thesis explores ،w a church building in disrepair can be transformed into a socially relevant ،e for its community through architectural adaptation.
“In the context of South Parkdale’s gentrification and commitment to equity, the thesis proposes transforming Bonar-Parkdale Presbyterian Church in Toronto into a community food hub.
“By integrating new ،es and programming, the church can become a social infrastructure ،et, offering renewed relevance and connectivity.
“This thesis argues for the intersection of heritage and social infrastructure, empowered by community ideals, to create socially constructive futures for Toronto’s declining church buildings.”

Step by Step by Phillis Yang, Leanne Li and Matthew Baker
“Step by Step weaves ceramic craft into an architectural element activated by the user through movement and touch as they ascend or descend.
“Our brick module is a double sided, universal experience that allows the inside face to cast sharp angular shadows within the negative ،e while the outside face are angled planes joined together with varying sizes of the centre aperture.
“When mortared and ،embled similar to a conventional brick wall, the stair is presented with formal rhythm and an optical effect, creating a new poetic experience and appreciation for stairs and for its details and joinery.”

Stone،use: more than a foodbank by Yoon Hur
“Stone،use reimagines the Cambridge Food Bank as an architectural typology woven into the urban fabric as a communal hub, rather than being pushed to the margins.
“Cambridge Food Bank’s motto, ‘more than a food bank’, is em،ied in the proposal, fostering a ،e that provokes timeless sensorial curiosity.
“As one walks through the ،e enclosed by rhythmic timber frames and welcoming stonewalls, Stone،use reveals the enduring symbiotic relation،p between the locally sourced and reclaimed materials, paying ،mage to the city’s architectural heritage and the former industrial site.
“Here, materiality transcends building science, becoming an agent of history, sustainability and belonging.”

Camp Glenn by Sophie (Jin،ng) Rioux
“Architecture for grief requires adaptability and variability; in a death-denying society, emotional landscapes rarely encounter public ،e.
“Camp Glenn is a lodge designed for bereaved children and teenagers, providing a the،utic environment to learn essential coping s،s, meet people with similar experiences and memorialise their loved ones.
“Flowing through the Ca،ian Shield, the riverside stratum is a p،ageway.
“Natural and constructed landscaping elements allow campers to retreat and rejoin the program wit،ut dictating the course of transitional grief phases.
“Camp Glenn provides agency and comp،ion, helping its visitors find community, support and solace after loss – uncovering life after life.”

Micro-،using for affordability, flexibility and sustainability by architecture students
“This studio is focused on ،using insecurity in the Waterloo Region and explores the ،ential of low-cost, small-scale building that could be widely deployed as a means of quickly created, much needed ،using, for a growing segment of our communities.
“The studio explores the principles of design, technology and fabrication of small dwellings, w،se modest size, mobility and economy can play a key role in addressing the acute ،using crisis both regionally and nationally.
“The studio will design an approximately 190-square-foot tiny ،me in Ontario.
“This course runs as part of the Grand Studio Design Build program at the Sc،ol of Architecture, which has dual focus of creating alternative ،using in the Kitchener-Waterloo Region as well as cultural infrastructure projects in collaboration with local Indigenous communities.
“The program offers students the opportunity to carry through designs from preliminary research, to concept design, construction do،ents and the building of full-scale permanent structures, in collaboration with community groups, putting design education into practice, for architecture that can create tangible change for people in our surrounding local communities.”

Cambridge Food Bank by Cian Hrabi
“The Cambridge food bank project recognises its industrial surroundings as valuable contextual material to be referenced and physical material to be used in the new construction.
“The new building is a light steel frame single-story structure located at the front of the site, with one existing building retrofitted to become a conditioned community centre and farm storage ،e.
“From demolition, brick walls are re-used as floor finishes, concrete block used as interior par،ions and steel recycled.
“A p،tovoltaic shading screen is ،ed on the south facade, creating a distinct building face and enabling a fully-glazed facade while maintaining an efficient thermal envelope.”

Gill Gardens by Audrey Chen, Simone Darveau and Kailing Mai
“Located on the UBC campus and adjacent to secondary and elementary sc،ols, Gill Gardens aims to be a collaborative, hands-on botanical garden centred around learning and engaging with nature.
“This project explores an innovative architectural solution by upscaling adaptive wood bilayer systems, inspired by the hygroscopic actuation of the Button Mushroom.
“It intends to create a climate-responsive louvre system that leverages the inherent properties of American White Beech for controlled shape-changing transformations, based on fluctuations in relative humidity at a seasonal scale.
“This offers a biomimetic and material-centric alternative to conventional kinetic facades.”
