- W836547012 abstract "PROJECT STATEMENT THE NEW HEART OF THE ARCHITECTURE BUILDING at Ryerson University is a multipurpose gallery that holds exhibitions, lectures, and special events. However, the gallery has achieved much more than this by revitalizing the dated facility in which it is housed, giving the Architecture Building a larger presence both within the university and the community. The contemporary sensibility of the interstitial gallery balances the building's robust concrete interior. The building's functionality is also enhanced by its relationship with the gallery, enabling cross-curricular collaboration. The gallery has transformed the campus environment by providing a vibrant forum for continued engagement with the wider community. This small, modern intervention provides function and flexibility, supports active learning, and makes a bold statement in keeping with the defining institutional mission. RELATIONSHIP TO EXISTING PLANS/PLANNING PROCESSES The ideation of the gallery began in 2006 when the Department of Architectural Science at Toronto's Ryerson University decided to seek professional accreditation from the Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB) for its program in architecture. In order to accomplish this, the department had recently added a new master of architecture degree to its half-century-old four-year undergraduate building science program. The existing departmental building was designed by famed Canadian architect Ron Thom as an architecture school and constructed in 1981 before students had computers. To accommodate the new graduate program, the facility was upgraded incrementally with enhanced studio, classroom, and critique spaces and a digital fabrication lab. Accreditation was granted in 2010 with recommendations and revisited again in 2013. The CACB had identified the lack of a permanent gallery/exhibition space, one that could contribute to the culture of the school and the community through its flexibility, functionality, accessibility, and security for the exhibited material as noted in the university's request for proposal (RFP). OBJECTIVES The construction of the gallery was the latest step in Ryerson's ongoing school-wide improvement process and essential to fulfilling the accreditation requirements. The gallery's primary objective is to serve as a dedicated venue for the display of student and faculty work and as a place to host lectures and events. However, the department set out to achieve more than these basic terms. One of its mandates is to engage in the promotion of architecture to the general public and the government. Aligning this mandate with its primary goal led the department to envision a presentation space that would reaffirm Ryerson's credibility and legitimacy within the wider community and garner it a stronger presence on campus. PRELIMINARY PLANNING AND INTERNAL DISCUSSIONS The gallery program stipulated a flexible, multipurpose space, but many questions remained during the early planning stage while the specific vision for the project was being defined and refined among the project team: Would it be staffed? Who would curate it? How formal a space would it be? The department chair, Colin Ripley, an academic and a practicing architect, assembled a project steering committee consisting of four professors and several students to tackle the preliminary planning alongside the client, Ryerson's Department of Facilities, Planning & Management. The RFP had called for student involvement in the design process and requested the successful architectural firm's participation in a series of studio critiques, an indication of the inclusive nature of the institution. Initial planning consultations and program considerations helped the Department of Architectural Science make a number of fundamental choices. For example, rather than ask for additional square footage, the department decided that it would renovate the existing building, tailoring everything to fit within the building's envelope. …" @default.
