This week we are featuring several thesis projects by yorkvilleu BID grads, that focus on providing safe, accessible and adaptive interior spaces for the users. Congratulations to all the grads!

Irina Alturmessova - The Art of Void: Transcending from Loneliness to Solitude
Guided by evidence-based strategies from environmental psychology, the design creates a space rooted in accessibility, activation, and human scale, while encouraging contemplation, choice, and a deep connection to nature. The immersive experience is enriched by a dynamic interplay of light and shadow, seamlessly merging indoors and outdoors.

Morgane Echardour -  WAAWIYEBII'IGAN Educational Hub
The aim of this project is to create a school that reflects the cultural heritage and values of Indigenous communities, fostering a strong sense of belonging and pride. The goal is to develop an adaptive environment that encourages knowledge sharing and collaboration, and promoting positive interactions.

Noora Aziz - Canvas of Thrives
The Canvas of Thrives Center (CTC) is designed to support children aged 4 to 13 with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) through art-based therapeutic interventions and a comprehensive design methodology that integrates evidence-based, human-centered, sensory-sensitive, and biophilic principles.

Tara Hunt - Psychosocial Rehabilitation Facility for People with SPMI
The aim of this project is creating a Psychosocial Rehabilitation Facility for People with SPMI - Severe and persistent mental illness. This will translate into space planning in form of adding positive affordances, reducing environmental stressors, and creating spaces of refuge.

Victoria Mcfarlane - LOOM – A Transitional Refugee Center
A traditional device used in carpet making, the loom intricately weaves together cloth and tapestry, using tension to craft something novel and beautiful. Much like a loom that maintains tension on warp threads for the seamless interweaving of weft threads, Loom Center aspires to offer a structured space where refugees can integrate seamlessly into their new community.
