Isn’t everything a story? EVEN A PHOTOGRapH, WHICH REPRESENTS reality, gets much of its meaning from framing, editing and timing (had the picture been taken 10 seconds earlier or later, its meaning might be drastically different). Stories are the best way for us to convey knowledge to one another. Consider the difference between telling an intern architect to consult the CHOP (Canadian Handbook of Practice) to find the answer to a perplexing question and tell- ing the same intern a true story about your own career, relating to the same question. One source conveys what, the other conveys why. This is why our Construction Contract Administration Committee chose to use “Stories from the Field” on its web page (visit www.oaa.on.ca, go to professional resources/construction contract administration) to illustrate the finer points of contract administration. Our profession has been the source of some great stories, from the alarming to the uplifting. I remember standing on the ground floor of a 13-storey building that my firm was renovating. We were investigating a space that the owner wanted us to change, when our engineers noticed that an important shear wall, which the “as built” draw- ings indicated as monolithic concrete, was actually made of concrete block. That was alarming and it was our clue to CONSIDER THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TELLING AN exit the building and hold the INTERN ARCHITECT TO CONSULT THE CHOP TO FIND THE rest of the meeting outside.

  • Years of Making,” This Anniversary Edition of Toolbox Celebrated Fabrication, Studio- Based Education and the Commitment of Our Studio Technicians
    135 REASONs TO LOVE OCAD UNIVERSITY THE 2011/2012 ANNUAL REPORT OF YEARS THIS IS A BOOK OF OUR FAVOURITE THINGS. We think you’ll enjoy the way it tells a story and, in 135 ways, counts down to the present. No doubt you’ll notice too that, in looking back at 2011/2012, this anniversary edition of our Annual Report looks boldly forward. You can blame that, as we do, on our big imaginations. At OCAD University, imagining who we are and what we might become reflects the creative thinking we inspire in our students. For what we’ve learned, about established approaches, is that they should never be taken for granted. And that it’s always worth creating a new and better way. THE 2011 / 2012 ANNUAL REPORT 1 In touching three centuries, OCAD University has both held and made brighter the eternal flame of art and design. Our studios, classrooms, research labs, hallways, parks, library and common spaces bubble with the energetic imaginations of more than 4,000 students, from the “shiny people” — the apt term Jan Sage, our Director, Admissions & Recruitment, has given to our eager first-year students — to our well-honed professional fourth years and our clever, self-motivated graduate students. OCAD University has a lived set of values, respecting and advancing ethical practice, advocacy, diversity, accessibility, Aboriginal cultures, wellness, and global citizenship, and evincing creativity in entrepreneurship, innovation and sustainability. Our faculty and staff cross several generations, but all hold profound dedication to our students — committing their lives in many cases to their mentorship and our institution.

  • STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED Intention to Designate Under Part IV
    STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED Intention to Designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act – 693 Bathurst Street Date: January 22, 2014 Toronto Preservation Board To: Toronto and East York Community Council From: Acting Manager, Urban Design, City Planning Division Wards: Ward 20 – Trinity-Spadina Reference P:\2014\Cluster B\PLN\HPS\TEYCC\February 25 2014\teHPS04 Number: SUMMARY This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the property at 693 Bathurst Street (convenience address: 725 Bathurst Street) under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value. The property at 693 Bathurst Street was listed on the City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties in 2005. In October 2013 an application was made to the Toronto and East York Committee of Adjustment to construct a temporary dome on the playing field at Central Technical School. The Toronto and East York Community Council at its meeting of October 17, 2013 adopted TE27.68 (Heritage Designation Report – Central Technical School), directing the Acting Director, Urban Design to prepare a staff report that evaluates and makes recommendations regarding the potential designation of Central Technical School under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. The Community Council further directed that "the report should contemplate the entire school site as a cultural heritage landscape and the iconic view corridors from Bathurst Street to the original main entrance of the school building." Following research and evaluation, staff have determined that the property at 693 Bathurst Street (with the convenience address of 725 Bathurst) meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.
