DESIGN INTERNSHIP

Metrolinx SmartTrack

The SmartTrack project aims to use existing GO transit lines to relieve some of the ridership on the Bloor-Danforth subway line. I was involved in the development of strategies for the new system. I created maps for the new stations that showed how the new system will impact the surrounding neighborhoods and environment.

Edmonton North Precinct Planning

To accomodate for the growth of this rapidly expanding city, the downtown will be expanding to the North. Warehouses and parking will be replaced with parks and condos, and the transit will be extended. My responsibilities included 3D modeling, creating and editing maps and renders.

University of Toronto Planning

The planning proved to be a challenge, as U of T wants to expand and develop the campus while preserving the historic buildings – all in the middle of a thriving city. I learned much about campus and city planning, especially when dealing with setbacks, height restrictions, zoning, and additions.

Brock University Planning

This was another university campus planning project – however, the strategies applied were very different. Instead of a dense city, the context is a vast natural landscape including the Niagara escarpment, lakes, rivers, wetlands, and parks.
