U of T Design + Build
An intensive design-build collaboration between Studio North and senior design students at the University of Toronto
Over a 2 week summer period in 2018 and 2019, Studio North has led a group of senior students from the undergraduate architecture program at the University of Toronto Daniels School of Architecture to design and build installations for the town of Wellington, Ontario. These projects create an intersection of design strategies brought forth by students and construction methods imparted by course instructors and local craftspeople, while allowing students to practice both research and design skills in the context of an intense project timeline.
