    This report was prepared by an expert in architect and urban planning Mr. J.E. Hoare, Jr. who was also the architect for Regent Park North, along with 20 other Federal-Provincial selected officials. It was understood that as a top-down planning process the redevelopment under the National Housing Act was primarily the Federal Government’s concern, but it was agreed that Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s Ontario Regional Office and the Province would work closely together throughout the redevelopment plan, since, the benefits of both parties were closely correlated. All planners and architects were locally chosen, with a strong sense of belonging towards this space, and have better understanding of the space compared to outsiders. At the same time, they know the needs and wants of the…

    Louis Kahn, born in 1901, was an American vastly known for his works as an architect. Alongside being an architect, he was an artist, teacher and to a certain extent a philosopher, some might label him as poet and one of the great thinkers of his time. Charles E. Dagit, Jr says ‘His was a genius that profoundly changed the course of architecture worldwide’. (Louis I. Kahn: Architect, 2013, page xi). Louis Kahn’s legacy began from an early age where in high school his teachers immediately noticed Louis developing on his drawings and placed him in courses that nurtured his skills. He progressed his education and talent into architectural studies and received full funding to the University Of Pennsylvania, graduating 1924. He started to work as a senior designer, draughtsman for City of Philadelphia’s architect John Molitor for the Sesquicentennial International…

    Upon viewing the video recording of Carl Rogers’s conversation with Gloria I was able to observe an extraordinary demonstration of Client-Centered Therapy. The tape provided me with excellent examples of many important traits of a Client-Centered Therapist. These included: allowing the client to find their own internal conclusions, the high use of reflection of content and emotion, the therapist becoming transparent and genuine with the client, and the therapist showing unconditional positive regard. All of these therapist traits were demonstrated in the video recording and proved to be effective in helping the client to open up and trust the therapist, better understand her own issue and begin to resolve the issue.…

    Robert Venturi was only thirty-four when he was requested by his mother to design and build a house for her. Up until this time all of Venturi’s designs had been mostly theoretical. He was now given a chance to make them concrete.2 It could be understood that Robert’s mother’s house was designed to help him with his career; he was given an opportunity to design and construct a building instead of writing and teaching about them. The Vanna Venturi House was to be Robert Venturi’s first building. Like many architects he was driven to test his ideas through construction.3 The house went through six basic schemes and six models were made to clearly exhibit the form of the house and Venturi’s evolving ideas.4…
