Abstract
This thesis will investigate the design of Italian diasporic homes in Toronto, considering how these residences reflect and negotiate cultural identity, heritage and adaptation. Asking, what can/do representations of Italian diasporic homes in Ontario tell us about collective and individual diasporic identities? Through an interdisciplinary approach, combining interior design/architectural analysis, and cultural studies this research aims to offer insight into the ways in which Italian Canadian homeowners design their living spaces to preserve and reinterpret their cultural heritage in a new geographical context. Toronto has seen significant contributions to its urban fabric from the Italian diaspora. Like other immigrant communities in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), the Italian diaspora has developed a unique design identity, especially pertaining to how they reside. By focusing on interior design elements and spatial arrangements of Italian diasporic homes, this research seeks to understand how homes serve as sites of cultural expression and preservation.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
