Tasked to design a study space within the University of Toronto’s downtown campus, the brief specified the need for light, openness, and flow. Inspired by the concept of waves, an organic form was developed to contrast the rigidity of the conventional rectilinear buildings that exist on campus. Creating a sense of motion and flow, students are invited to explore this eccentric design and interact with it through diverse activities such as studying, researching or reading. The building consists of five floors connected by stairs and bridges, with an outer shell supported by columns. The interior features an open-concept layout with vast natural light entering the premises through the side openings as well as the large skylight above.
