Archinect's man in Toronto, Mason White, was featured in the Globe and Mail on Friday, discussing how to fix "a neglected public space" in Toronto: "'We like the idea of taking something that is already happening and, instead of introducing something new, just turning up the volume of what is there,' says Mason White, who runs the emerging firm Lateral Architecture with his partner and wife, Lola Sheppard." Congrats, Mason - and here's the full article.

sports in strata!
great project mason and lola!
that's right. them soccer players don't need any designated spot.. watch them take over the entire park in time.;.)
great project lateral architects. really a huge improvement of the site. nice manupulation of topography.
this is one of those projects that is guaranteed to work one way or another by default.
i also like the way you guys left the south wall (rendering's south) open for some chance urban developments. could be great canvas for graffiti art.
love love love it!
fantastic, congrats mason!
that looks REAL good.
nice work, Mas!
Is someone Tre Flip'in the 18 stair? Yeah they are!
yippee to the archinect architects
It's great, Mason! Check out the Parc de la Cour du Maroc in Paris by Corajoud (it was included in the Groundswell exhibition). It has these linear bands of sport (though not color-coded) and has an incredible energy. (The rest of the park doesn't hold together too well, though.)
I hope you won't be offended if I refer to the mega-graphic text in the site plan as "Venturian". Its use, however, is far more legible, structural, and convincing than Venturi's text use tends to be.
Great looking project, really inventive and fun. Congrats!
