fort york, the historic military base located in downtown toronto, will soon be graced with a new visitor
centre designed by patkau architects with kearns mancini architects. a jury of artists and designers
selected the team’s design over a number of other entries in a recent architectural competition. the site
is next to toronto’s elevated highway, the gardiner expressway, which was part of the design concept by
quadrangle architects previously featured on designboom. the new visitor centre will feature exhibition
space, a gift shop, restaurant, community spaces, theatre and meeting rooms. the design by patkau
architects with kearns mancini features a prominent ‘steel-escarpment’ and a landscape of grasses
designed to restore the landscape to its original, pre-development’ condition. fort york was turned
into a museum in 1934 and the new visitor centre will increase this presence and connect the site
to the surrounding community.
