Victoria Cardoso, Erman Akyol, and Eugenia Wong have been recognized by hosted by the Ontario Association of Architects, that invites students and architects to address social challenges through design.
The three first-year students in the master of architecture program at the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape & Design created a project that was one of five honoured by this years challenge.
Their project, originally created for a fall semester course taught by Professor Ted Kesik, , the disused public amusement park located on a small chain of artificial islands off Toronto's western shoreline. The students will present their work during at an online SHIFT event that will begin at 4:30 p.m. on May 20, and be viewable online .
This was really an opportunity for us to open ourselves up to the field, Wong says. We'll get to present our project not just to teachers and our colleagues, but also to architects, landscape designers, and urban designers. We're hoping to get our proposal out to decision makers and important stakeholders for the site.
