The Future of Ontario Place Design Challenge Presentation

The Future of Ontario Place Project

Join the Future of Ontario Place Project team for an overview of the Design Challenge.

ABOUT ONTARIO PLACEOntario Place is a cultural heritage site that masterfully integrates architecture, landscape and infrastructure. Designed by architect Eberhard Zeidler, landscape architect Michael Hough, and playscape designer Eric McMillan, Ontario Place has become a world-renowned example of Modern design. The site was originally conceived of as a retreat for Ontarians who did not have access to summer cottages. Facing current development threats by Ontario’s provincial government, the site was placed on the 2020 World Monuments Watch alongside only twenty-four other cultural heritage sites of global importance.ABOUT THE DESIGN CHALLENGEStudents will develop counterproposals in which the heritage values of Ontario place are safeguarded and enhanced while taking the public into consideration.
Program the site as a public asset. No condos or privatized development; rather, we want to engage the myriad of stakeholders on the site such as families, casual cyclists, the houseboat community, environmentalists, yoga enthusiasts, basketball players, fishing groups, performance artists, skateboarders, cinephiles, architects, and others who have contributed to the vibrancy of the site.
How can we reinject a sense of play at Ontario Place without damaging the architecture, landscape, and infrastructure which make the site a valuable public asset?
Proposals should advocate for innovative relationships between heritage conservation and new programs, consider the ecologies of the site, and integrate sustainable building practices. Ontario Place needs a reinvigorated public identity, it’s up to you to imagine one.Learn more at futureofontarioplace.org
