Tadao Ando. Japan Architect Apr 1988, 45

“The horizon divides the sky from the earth, the sacred from the profane. The captured landscape changes its appearance from moment to moment. In that transition, visitors can sense the presence of nature and the sacred. The sunlight, the lake and the sky no doubt will continue to sing diverse melodies.”

Architectural Collages Depict the Fragmented Lives of Migrants

Architecture student Evan Wakelin has produced drawings that juxtapose the old and new homes of migrants in Toronto, to convey the emotional and physical upheaval these people experience. Wakelin’s thesis research project is part of his ongoing studies at the Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design, where he is enrolled on the Master of Architecture course.

“The drawings illustrate hypothetical migrations to the city, whereby the original home of the migrant is layered with their current home within the city of Toronto,” explained Wakelin in his thesis research paper. “This intersection of past and present, over different geographical locations, describes a divided identity where the sense of belonging and sentiment exist somewhere in between.”
