Another lovely read.

@KGreenbergTO on the bird site says: #OntarioPlace and the #ScienceCentre were designed by two of the country’s finest architects of the time — Eb Zeidler and Raymond Moriyama in a new era in architecture as international modernism embraced by cities across the country.

Ontario Place for All releases “A Better Idea” an alternative plan for #OntarioPlace & #ScienceCentre revitalization, focussed on green space, connection to nature, the city & uses pods for SC branch connected by Ontario Line.

Plan integrates with nature & the original purpose of the site to represent #Ontario, rather than parachuting in an out-of-touch & discordant #Megaspa.

Memories of Ontario Place
for #BlueMonday

The biosphere in a public park on the shore of Lake Ontario.

The biosphere will remain, but a large swath of public green space will be privatized, if this provincial government has its way, for a spa for the rich and possibly a casino, since spas and casinos go well together to attract people with $.

The red dots represent some of the 846 trees that will be removed from #OntarioPlace to make room for a 9-story private spa and 5-story $450M underground parking lot.

"This is Ontario Place at a physical, political, and economic crossroads. It seems an important moment to record it, as a reminder of what it once was, and to consider what it can become."

Rather than destroying Ontario Place, Rexdale deserves a spa (near the airport).
