Humber Bay Park
Metro Hall, 200 Wellington Street West, Toronto
June 9th - 13th

Forty-two hectares along the Toronto Waterfront, Humber Bay Park consists of two engineered landforms extending into Lake Ontario, which were created through lake filling in the 1970s and 1980s. As part of the studio course, Students were expected to identity and thoroughly evaluate alternative solutions for a long term revitalization of the site and were encouraged to question the significance, and redefine the potential, of a contemporary metropolitan scale park.

This student project was undertaken independently adn does not reflec City of Toronto plans or public consultations. The project was an opportunity for students to think outside the box and explore ideas free of many constraints.
