#1 We work directly with new designers, engineers, and project managers to harmonize the creative process with buisiness & product development.

#2 Our design and sales teams keep their ears close to the ground. We want to be the first to provide companies with the highest quality products, fashionable designs, and efficient process’. This means more than watching what other companies are providing, but taking risks and offering them first.

#3 Furthermore, training and obtaining highly knowledgeable craftsman and technicians reduces outsourcing talent and overhead management cost.

#4 Keeping our desks clean is just as important as fabrication floors; investing in programs and trainers to ensure our team is well organized and prepared for development. This means continuous training and revisiting our methodology regularly to educate and share with others within our community.

#5 To ensure this we secure and retain all fabrication and manufacturing services alleviating dependency on other companies.

#6 Location Location Location, it cannot be more emphasized when it comes to manufacturing. Deploying our tech-hub centres between education rich zones and manufacturing communities ais the perfect catchment area for novel innovation. This allows the project to be close with workers providing our clients quick access to our facility and our team immediate access to ongoing projects

To ensure a sustainable future for our culture, public education, the environment, and even economy further requires more community activeness. I feel that a greater literacy and better understanding of information and technol-ogy that presses the progression of society would motivate the public. The inclusion and integration of the public spaces throughout the café’s, labs, shops, and studios would press the need for ethical decisions, community interaction and collaboration. With a better educated and activated population helps with the creating of a more capable society. In support of the participation from people, interactive technology will be integrated throughout the spaces making it quick and simple to connect. “Communications tools don’t get socially interesting until they get technologically boring.

It's when a technology becomes normal, then ubiquitous, and finally so pervasive as to be invisible, that the really profound changes happen”. As Shirky observes, it is essential to not design the technology opulently exciting, instead embed it seamlessly into the fabric of the surround-ing environment.

Here is where architectural design brings nature into view. Either inside or outside the building or directly in the construction materials. Nature is beautiful and when welcomed into buildings it has a practical purpose (to clean the air; breathes in carbon monoxide and at night releases oxygen) and a spiritual one (to uplift the spirit, reduce stress, and create harmony with the cosmos).

Joshua Nelson | Holland Bloorview Hospital_2011/2012

ScreenPlay was an interactive, screen-based game experience designed for Holland Bloorview Hospital in Toronto, to engage children who are sitting in pediatric waiting rooms.

By stepping on floor-based pressure sensors, children were able to grow colorful representations of trees and other flora in an onscreen game, collectively creating an “enchanted forest”.

The aim of this experience was to keep children fully occupied while waiting for their doctor’s appointments and

(reducing restlessness and apprehension), utilizing game mechanics that created engagement without causing addiction. Social play was also encouraged, while minimizing overly competitive behavior. Special consider-ations were made for children of various ages, and for varying levels of physical mobility (handicapped and non-handicapped).

Screenplay was installed permanently at Holland Bloorview in May 2012, and was also featured on CTV News Lifetime.

Office ProjectModernizations are a natural evolution in all modern cities. They allow a convenient and reliable method for existing architecture to repurpose while retaining socio and economic status in developed communities. With fash-ionable upgrades alongside structural security tennancy of mod-ernized buildings is higher than average new construction.

Designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, the TD Centre is a cluster of office buildings in downtown Toronto consisting of six towers covered in bronze-tinted glass and black painted steel. It serves as the global headquarters of the Toronto-Dominion Bank with 21,000 people work in the complex, making it the largest in Canada.

This job utilized both durable and natural materials to provide a strong architectural unity between the structure of the building and the interior design. Centered on all non-access walls are four horizontal wood core panels, three above and one below the handrail. Faced with Santos Rosewood Veneer and framed with 7mm stainless steel trims, each panels is secured with wall-mounted clips

evenly separating each panel by 14mm with brushed stainless steel cladding. Each corner has two 6mm vertical clear safety mirrors aligning with panels complete with stainless steel trims. Two 76mm full length raised XL blend stainless steel bands rest above and below extruded handrail spacers per non-access wall. Similarly a single 76mm base panel floats between the floor and lower wood veneer panel. A concave aluminum ceiling with six perforated panels painted Duranar Champagne Silver hovers just above the wall panels. Six low voltage down lights with adjustable lens cast direct light flares against the front and rear wall.

The artwork expresses a 'fragmented urban history in motion' focusing on iconic structures and events in Montreal while making a special emphasize on the people that occupy this great Canadian city. Each photograph captured by Dominique Roberge is a moment of time and space, when stitched together and overlaid with each other they become 'generative narratives'.

Utilizing a variety of digital effects and elements, each piece becomes a map of urban ecology. The blurring effect suggests that the subjects in the work are in motion, tangled with their surrounding environment and part of the greater picture. Distorting the scale of each photo, using multiple perspectives and fragmenting the environment was a technique used to "frame" smaller details capturing the eye before guiding it around the composition. These fractals, like pieces of a puzzle, is relatively abstract until you step back and look at the entire image as a whole.

Our processed was developed through conversations in person and in email, across borders and language we shared inspirational works by Serge Mendjisky, Jean-François Poullio, and Davide Bramante to name a few. Mendjisky's images of New York is inspired by the brush strokes from the Impressionism period along with the Cubist style popularized by Picasso and Braque. Visiting time based media, the film by Canadian artist Poullio presented in World Shanghai Expo inspired the idea of moving time through still photography can be best explained here by the artist.

"The images come together like impressionistic touches. Adopting the rhythm of someone strolling through the city, they intermingle”

This stylist approach is very modernist, while the medium is technological (both digital editing and photography) the sampling of periods is apparent with the multiple angles, the impossible perspectives that was created during the cubist period. This juxtaposes the very media that is being used (perfect photography) which is fully capable of replicating reality. I deconstruct these scenes generating a surrealist/idealized version of the space of interest. The gestures and motions of the fractals (while colourless) are reminiscent of French impressionism. The form no longer remains whole, a jagged gestalt "dissipates" like pixels or like low-res image, maybe even like a slowing loading image from the net.... this also allows the viewer to explore the space without the immediacy or clarity of a typical photograph may/does afford itself (back to cubist).

The third artwork celebrates the revitalization of the Olympic Stadium along with the architects and cities ongoing commitment to one of the worlds grandest examples of biologically inspired architecture. A elevated shot shows the building from a unique perspective to give the people of Montreal a fresh POV (point of view). Slightly repositioning the olympic village the cascading levels directly juxtapose the organic form of the building. The vertical fractals intersect with the architecture revealing glimpses of the interior of the stadium, the unique light apertures, the stadium seating wrapping around the tower, and tourists collected inside the womblike court.
