McGill University 2024
Co-instructors: Howard Davies, Kim Pariseau. In this comprehensive building design studio, students were asked to design a facility for racquet sports on a site in Parc Angrignon in Montréal. The site included a large, abandonded single-storey concrete building that housed a former zoo. Each project proposed a re-use strategy. In addition, students studied the relationship between building form (primarily massing) and environmental performance using parametric analysis and design tools with the goal of using that understanding to produce strong formal and aesthetic outcomes.
