Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The purpose of this thesis is to design and present building strategies for housing that demonstrate efficient well-integrated continuity between human, nature, and technology for a high – mid-density building in a populated urban environment on a main avenue in Toronto’s Bloor Street south and the West Toronto rail path. The building design incorporates sustainable strategies such as Passive cooling methods, energy generation, Rainwater harvesting, CO2 consumption, Vertical Integration of vegetation, Natural ventilation, Daylight penetration and constructed wasteland for rainwater treatment. The objective is to achieve a better state of mental and physical health for the occupants and their neighbourhood. The thesis proposes these design strategies without the constraint of financial viability in this day and age, so as to promote such methods and mentality in forthcoming constructions.
\nThe thesis asks, how can Architects participate in reforming our society with today’s ever-changing needs? What are those most pressing issues? How can architecture tackle these issues from its own standpoint? The thesis takes the stand that Global warming and mental health are the primary contemporary issues in developed countries, subsequently, in developing countries, global warming will have the highest devastating effects on the most fragile and vulnerable settlements. In order to steer the planet away from an ecosystem collapse and to reconstruct that environment, we need to address humanity’s manipulation of the environment and change the makeup of the physical spaces we occupy. The purpose of this thesis is to research by design in the specific setting of Bloor St South meets West Toronto rail path so as to find the best possible solution regarding overall health and sustainability.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
