A Proposal for Ontario Place

Performance documentation, pencil drawing, submitted design proposal, 2013

Ontario Place opened to the public on May 22, 1971, and closed in 2012 to seek design proposals for a “new era” of private partnership and redevelopment. In 2013, A Proposal for Ontario Place responded to the Ontario Place Revitalization Panel’s search for a designed future for the post-utopian site.
