Our design research on housing density to be featured at the Venice Biennale
We have been invited to share our design research on missing middle prototypes that explore incremental density in Toronto’s neighborhoods at the Venice Biennale this year! Our research focuses on liveability in multi-unit housing as the city densifies, examining prototypes for incremental density and their potential replicability across various sites throughout the city. These prototypes target average-sized single lots in Toronto, particularly on main streets that can support higher density. The housing units promote collective and family-oriented living with private and shared outdoor spaces, multiple bedrooms, and ample views and daylight, offering an alternative to high-rise condominiums that can be developed more quickly and are more socially sustainable.
We’re excited to share this research at the upcoming “Reconceptualizing Urban Housing” exhibition at the European Cultural Centre in Venice, as part of the Time Space Existence exhibition. The exhibition will be on display at Palazzo Mora during the Venice Architecture Biennale from May to November 2023.
