In an age of unprecedented human impact on the planet, certain countries stand out for their privileged positions and the complexity of their relationships with the land. Stories about Canada closely follow the discovery and appropriation of vast and varied natural resources as well as changing ideas of the proper relationship between people and their environment.(...)

No Parks?

These quarantined bits of land and water speak to a confused desire for some kind of “nature”—and they might be good for our health—but do they also serve to excuse our continued bad behaviour? Parks are not innocent. City parks are real estate assets and urban “amenities” created by planners, landscape architects, hydrological engineers, police(...)

Project
AP056.S1.1987.PR05
Description:
This project series documents a competition entry for the St. Michael's College Lands Competition at the University of Toronto in 1987. The office identified the project number as 8724. The lands were located at the corner of Bay and St. Joseph Streets. Sketches for the proposal show axonometric schemes of rectangular building configurations, ranging from 16 storeys to 25 storeys. The project appears to be for a residence, as the drawings investigate different numbers of units in the building, with commercial spaces at grade. The project is recorded through sketches and a project model dating from around 1987.
