Nicole Reamey Portfolio 201310 Dufferin Shift Community Center in Dufferin Grove Park with Leon Lai

Shift is an apparatus that celebrates transformation. This project materializes and dramatizes the ephemeral quality of light. By harnessing this performative phenomenon, light begins to act as a catalyst for the transformation of the daily and seasonal use of the community center. The physical edges of the building, the roofline, the ground and the projected patterns of light create a changing relationship between the community and its users.

Niether object nor landscape, the building emerges as an aggregation of interior and exterior rooms unified by a veil of light. Light transcends the physical threshold of the building and its programs, selectively blurring interior and exterior and park spaces together. (courtyard render) Because of this field like condition, the building is encoded with inherint mutative capability to merge spaces together or to act as distinct entities in response to light conditions or community desires.

Nicole Reamey Portfolio 2013Vs. Tower Urban housing, shopping and recreation district

This project is an exploration of the mat building as an urban strategy in the context of a multiuse megastructure in a residential neighborhood. This project proposes that the mat typology can create greater connectivity and interactivity and can stitch program together more smoothly than a tower would. As an antidote to the tower typology, this proposal, which is located at Dufferin mall in Toronto, seeks to intertwine green space and community space with residential program both visually and physically

Urban Bath House Transportation Flows

Situated between the flow of the schulkill, the sweep of the philadelphia cargo rail, and directly in the midst of a running, biking and walking trail, this building is all about negotiating these currents. BIkers speed up and over the top, runners divert around the side, by the waters edge and walkers filter through the structure. As people percolate through the building, they can either breeze through the public spaces or linger in the semi-pooling spaces. The exterior is always active and the interior can be closed off at night.

The center will reinvigorate the site by regulating water circulation and maintiaining a diverse array of habitats with the goal of nurturing and reintroducing endemic avian and amphibious species. The center will also provide direct contact with the environment for three types of people, re-searchers and conservationists doing research, corporate pollutors trying to atone for sins against the environment and the public community trying to learn more about the environment and main-tain a daily connection with nature.

This project was designed during the summer of 2012 for the vertical cities Asia competition hosted by the National University of Singapore. The project addresses the issues of density and aging in South Korea. The design Team, Nicole Reamey, Jordan Barr and Natalie Medina worked with Mathias Hollwich at HWKN to conduct research and develop the concept. Individual images are credited.

Nicole Reamey Portfolio 2013Surface Form With Nate Schlundt and Albert Cua

Our project is intended to permit and encourace connections through the synchronous, rhythmic movement of two people. The primary connection logic of our surface utilizes the intrinsic trigonal geometry of our base module to form a sheet. The secondary structure of the sheet was defined by the concept of dance. We determined two methods in which a sheet might encourage dance: to undulate and to decay. Undulations would push and pull the body into new contortions based on the curves of the structure, while a pattern of decay would allow the penetration of the body into the holes of the structure. We therefore applied two fields, one for undulation and one for decay to teh regular pattern of the primary sheet. The tertiaty structure of our surface was defined by the exaggeration of the shapes already beginning to form in the body of the sheet.

42

A pattern of decay was established by deletion of modules at increasingly distant intervals.A pattern of undulation emanates from a focal point in regular intervals.

As occupation changes, so does the topography of this fluid landscape. The thousands of hollow tubes fluctuate in relationship to each other as well as the water. As people move through the landscape, they leave behind a lasting trajectory. Forging new paths is also possible, but is slower going. Stepping on a tube causes the openings in adjacent tubes to align. Opening paths for the free passage of water also allows for the free movement of people. As water moves between tubes, their levels equilibrate. As people move through fluxscape, paths begin to open up around them.

When pressure is applied to a tube, holes between adjacent tubes open up. Water Flows Towards EquilibriumAs you walk, adjacent tubes equilibrate meaning your path opens up around you

Nicole Reamey Portfolio 2013Wild Rice Granary for the serpent mounds of Rice Lake, Ontario

Wild Rice was abundant in the Great Lakes region for 1000s of years before European settlers arrived and was central to the way of life of the Ojibwe speaking people. as both a food staple and a sacred gift. Changes throughtout the last century such as the rise of commercial and recreational boat traffic and the dredging and daming of waterways in order to accomidate this traffic have decimated the native rice stands.

Wild rice, Zizania aquatica as it is called by biologists or manoomin as it is called in Ojibwe is a type of annual aquatic grass which grows in the head water of slow flowing streams and rivers or in shallow post glacial lakes. It is native to the north Eastern United states and South Eastern Canada, where the landscape has been defined by the Laurentide glaciation and the cold winters provide the necessary germination conditions for manoomin seeds.

Site History: Burial MoundsA record of a complex ancient society

The Serpent Mounds at Rice lake were built around 350-300 CE. Little is known about the middle woodland period outside what has been discovered through burial mounds such as this. As a result the serpent mounds are a critically important site for understanding the human history of the region.

Program: GranaryA place of social and econmic gathering

Historically Granarys have been both social meeting grounds and economic tools. The central location of the serpent mounds site within rice lake make it an ideal location to unite the many dispersed pockets of land with rice growing potential into one social and economic entity.

Site History: Land StewardshipInheriting History

The Hiawatha are the living stewards of the Serpent Mounds site. They are not direct decendants of the mound builders, but they share a similar life outlook and cultural heritage. One of the main links being the way in which both cultures were once directly tied to the rythms of the land. The Hiawatha are no longer able to keep the site operational and need a financially viable solution to reopen the site to the public.

The Serpent mound site, is a beloved and beautiful element of the Petterbourough community. Finding a way to reopen the site while still preserving the sacred heritage of the penninsula is in the best interest of everyone involved.

The Trent Sevren waterway is a recreational boat route, which was stiched together from a series of post glacial lakes and rivers. The Dam at Hastings ws completed in 1844 and the resulting 2 meter raise in water level killed off the majority of native rice stands in the region.

5. Roasting Reduce the moisture content of the grain allows for its winter preservation.

7. Dancing Twisting and stomping the rice releases the hull from the grain.

8. Winnowing The rice can be graded by tossing it into the air and allowing the wind to carry away the chaff.

Neighborhood Icons a community silkscreening project with Andrew Ard and Graham Brindle62

We began this project as a way of bringing the architectural conversation to the public. We wanted to understand what it is that people of Toronto consider iconic within their own neighborhoods. Through photo competitions and neighborhood brainstorming sessions, we collected input from varius residents. We then translated some of these images into icons which could be printed on to bags and T-shirts.

We live silkscreened the icons at various street fairs and neighborhood events in an effort to bring the conversation about what defines the identity of a neighborhood out of the school and into the public realm.
