A bold reimagining of Toronto’s transit heritage, this project transforms an underutilized site into a cultural hub. Inspired by the city’s historical railways, streetcars, and subways, the library’s angular U-shape represents the convergence of transit routes. A sunken social ramp invites visitors into a dynamic space where stories and knowledge flow like the city’s past. Blending modern functionality with a tribute to Toronto’s evolution, it offers a vibrant gathering space for discovery, reflection, and community engagement, setting a new standard for creative infill design while honoring the city’s legacy.
