Diametric Energies

Since inception, the Toronto Island Airport has been a charged place for the city, and feelings on the location of an airport in the Harbour have always been diametrically opposed.  Tasked with the re-envision and re-development of the airport, this proposal then sought to re-imagine the airport lands by looking at the fundamental forces acting on the site itself.

Presently, the airport is both physically and culturally held in tension on either side, with both the natural island in the south and the built city edge in the north wanting to envelope the land.  The project capitalized on these opposing forces by first carving the existing runways away from the surrounding site to create a monument to the (former) airport.  In conjunction with this basal move, the city edge was extended south while the natural island was pulled back and allowed to return to its transitory state.  Each ‘runway’ was then re-conceived as a reflection of the two opposing sides: a ‘natural’ runway was established to the north which gradually descended into the water and hosted community gardens; while a ‘cultural’ runway was constructed in the south which rose into the air and hosted a series of cultural institutions.  Finally, to both serve a need and stimulate the dynamic qualities of the Harbour, at the hinge point where the two runways met, a large terminus for float planes and ferries was proposed.
