Collaborative Exercise 2013: An Architecture of Civility

Ryerson University, Department of Architectural Science, George T. Kapelos, FRAIC, MCIP, Coordinator

Ville: 
Toronto
Province / Territoire: 
ON

The exercise challenged students to design civic amenities for Toronto’s public spaces that would encourage civility and inclusiveness, regardless of a citizen’s means or ability. It demonstrated the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion in architectural education and professional practice. Design teams, consisting of 12 to 15 students from all years of the program, acted as ‘citizen architects’ at specified sites. Graduate students acted as ‘community voices’ pushing for the rights of citizens, including the elderly, pedestrians, cyclists and taxpayers.

University of Winnipeg Students' Association bikeLAB

Peter Sampson Architecture Studio Inc.

Ville: 
Winnipeg
Province / Territoire:

The bikeLAB was developed as one node within a new multi-modal transit initiative for the campus. With a budget of $130,000, the project makes use of a pair of obsolete shipping containers to create a workshop dedicated to all things cycling. Volunteers provide training on cycling basics, maintenance and safety. A repeatable model for which funds, materials and site can be readily available is critical to the expansion of light infrastructure. bikeLAB presents a first iteration of this model.

Récipiendaire: 
Westminster Pier Park

PWL Partnership Landscape Architects Inc.

Ville: 
New Westminster
Province / Territoire: 
BC

The park is the first phase in the city’s long-term vision to integrate the waterfront with the historic downtown core, and to reconnect people to the previously industrialized Fraser River. Formerly an industrial brownfield, the 3.84-hectare park opened in 2012 at a total cost of $23 million. Contaminated soil was removed. A new pier replaced an old pier in disrepair. There are children's play areas, a festival lawn, plaza, sports courts and waterfront promenade.
