The challenge of this studio is to design both an urban project, and a housing complex, in the City of Toronto’s oldest neighbourhood, the Downtown East.This urban project is an opportunity to design ina context that is at once material, ecological and social. You will be challenged to think of your urban design not merely as an auto-poeitic, but rather as a sympoeiticarchitectural assemblage as co-constitutive with its milieu,made up ofspecified ecological and social components.
