Instructor: Shane Laptiste & Tura Cousins Wilson
Meeting Section: L0101
Fall 2023

Whether it’s a local corner store, cafe, or office - non residential uses in neighbourhoods vary in scale and types while offering vibrant amenities in many of Toronto's residential communities. Though these spaces and buildings are often cherished they are difficult to create today. This course will investigate missing middle typologies with a mixed-use component. Through guest lectures, site visits, mapping, archival research, and drawing, students will investigate and speculate on these typologies and explore the cultural and economic character they facilitate.
