A student project by Fadi Masoud, MLA II, Magda Dobranowski, MARCH III and Carla Pareja, MARCH III created for Lori Brown's elective course has been featured on the Canadian Centre for Architecture's website.

About the Exhibition

The Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) presents the exhibition "Actions: What You Can Do With the City", an exhibition with 99 actions that instigate positive change in contemporary cities around the world. Seemingly common activities such as walking, playing, recycling, and gardening are pushed beyond their usual definition by the international architects, artists, and collectives featured in the exhibition. Their experimental interactions with the urban environment show the potential influence personal involvement can have in shaping the city, and challenge fellow residents to participate. 

About the Project

An intervention that takes place on a wintry University of Toronto campus. This project was meant to turn an everyday winter utility scene into an opportunity.

Snow mounds that are several feet high and several feet wide encroach on the public right-of-way and take up valuable space from our public realm for several months a year. This action demanded that we reclaim some of that space back as a public utility, and find opportunities in our street elements that we overlook in our everyday life; especially in a winter city.
