CALL FOR SUBMISSION / SWAPP – Virtual Talent Exchange

March 21, 2021 Posted by Wendy Yuan Call for Submissions, Community, Event

P is for poetry/prose.

P is for photography.

P is for place/people of memory.  

P is for postcards!

With most of our activities limited to indoors lately, there are many places and people we have missed dearly. What is a memory of a place or person that you hold close to your heart? If you could send a postcard to a place or person, where or who would that be? What photograph would you send to them? What poetry/prose would you write to them? 

BRIDGE is inviting you to share your memories with us! 

In the first stage, BRIDGE is calling for open submissions of poems and photographs that portray that special place/person in your memory. These places/people can be non-fictional or fictional.

And finally, BRIDGE will invite all to participating in the opening night of virtual exhibition on Zoom and Miro, showcasing all inspirations behind participants’ creative form of celebration. You will choose someone else’s place/people of memory to interpret and be inspired by. In reaction, you could write a poem/prose or produce a drawing/photograph(s). Audience is encouraged to join us for a live SWAPP! 

All works will be printed in the form of postcard and mailed to participants! They will also be featured on BRIDGE’s Instagram! 

Step 1:

Submit a special place/person in your memory in the form of photograph(s) or poetry/prose(s) here! Do not miss the deadline on March 30th, 2021, Tuesday at midnight.

Submission Requirements:

  • Title of Work 
  • Description of Memory/Inspiration (no more than 50 words) 
  • Photograph (s) – any type OR 
  • Poem (s) – any lengths 

Step 2:

Join us on Miro and Zoom for the SWAPP Opening Night on April 1st, 2021, Tuesday at 7:00pm to 9:00pm! Participate in our live SWAPP, where you can slam some poetry or make some impromptu graphics in response to all the submitted works.

3A STUDIO / Towards an Architecture of Relation: Designing the Sherbourne Corridor Land Trust/Part 2/2

May 27, 2020

Waterloo’s third-year winter studio has always been an opportunity to explore the relationship between architecture and the city. The 2020 studio—“Our House is on Fire”— focuses on the intersection between two contemporary crises: the climate emergency and Toronto’s housing emergency. The challenge of the studio was to design a series of deeply affordable apartment buildings on City-owned and currently vacant sites along Sherbourne Street in the center of Toronto’s Downtown East. Each building was required to integrate complementary public programs at grade that would provide a network of support for low-income residents and form a single community land trust that would secure their affordability in the future.
