Exhibition continues to May 30th, 2009
The successful exhibition, displayed at the Royal Ontario Museum in Fall 2008, is being remounted as part of the Festival of Architecture and Design in Toronto.
The exhibit showcases juried images of significant unbuilt projects submitted by practicing architects and designers in a competition organized by the TSA. These projects are juxtaposed with historical unrealized building proposals drawn from Mark Osbaldeston’s book, Unbuilt Toronto: A History of the City That Might Have Been.
The Toronto Society of Architects invited architects and designers to submit projects for a curated exhibition that would become part of a developing dialogue on unrealized architectural, landscape or urban design schemes for the Greater Toronto Area. The purpose of the exhibition was to uncover visions of the Toronto that could have been. The exhibition will be part of a series of events in the fall 2008 and winter 2009, that will stimulate a dialogue on the ‘Unbuilt Toronto’.
