Winter Stations 2022
From late February through to the end of March is Winter Stations on Woodbine Beach along Toronto’s waterfront.

below: Designed by a team from Daniels Faculty of Architecture, U of T, “Introspection”.
below: Designed by a Turkish pair, Cemre Önertürk and Ege Çakır is “Enter-Face”.
below: The structure on the left has circular openings on one side and a translucent panel on the other (lakeside) – you can through but the resulting view is slightly distorted. On the taller structure, there is a reflective material.
below: “S’winter Station” was designed by a team from Ryerson University’s Department of Architectural Science. The circular openings on the surface panels were made from beach towels, an object more associated with summer than with winter.
below: “One Canada” by a team from School of Environmental Design and Rural Development at the University of Guelph. The “One” in the title is for the combining of Indigenous and Non-Indigenous together as one. Seven rings representing wisdom, love, respect, bravery, honesty, humility, and truth. Orange (for National Day of Truth and Reconciliation) ropes weave the rings together in a pattern echoing those used to make drums.

Thanks for taking me to this year’s Winter Stations — 5 years now, since I’ve had that pleasure in person. They look terrific.
