Fort York is one of Toronto’s most iconic historical landmarks. It’s both well-known and under-appreciated. The core of the Fort has been preserved, but its fringes have been in constant flux since the late 1700s. Fluid Fort York, a course taught at the University of Toronto’s Master of Landscape Architecture Program, had students re- imagining the edges of Fort York as a fluid landscape. This is a landscape that has the ability to evolve with changes in a community.
In this episode of Cities Alive, we’re “Holding Down the Fort”. You will hear from several students as they tell their story of Fort York. These stories created a narrative for the site which helped guide them through their projects. Some are quirky, some grim, some preserved, and some forgotten. We hope that each story allows you to re-imagine the Fort as it was and as it can be.
This episode was a collaboration between the University of Toronto’s John H. Daniel’s Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design, Projexity and Cities Alive.
