Couillard Pointe-au-Père Lighthouse Station from the St. Lawrence River Parks Canada / J. Audet Aerial view of the Pointe-au-Père Lighthouse Station and old pilot boat wharf Parks Canada / J. Audet Foreword Canada’s national historic sites, national parks and national marine conservation areas offer Canadians from coast-to-coast-to-coast unique opportunities to experience and understand our wonderful country. They are places of learning, recreation and fun where Canadians can connect with our past and appreciate the natural, cultural and social forces that shaped Canada. From our smallest national park to our most visited national historic site to our largest national marine conservation area, each of these places offers Canadians and visitors unique opportunities to experience Canada. These places of beauty, wonder and learning are valued by Canadians - they are part of our past, our present and our future. Our goal is to ensure that each of these special places is conserved. We see a future in which these special places will continue to contribute in meaningful ways to Canadians’ appreciation, understanding and enjoyment of Canada, to the economic well-being of communities, and to the vitality of our society. Our vision is to build a culture of heritage conservation in Canada by offering Canadians exceptional opportunities to experience our natural and cultural heritage, opportunities that celebrate our protected heritage. These values form the foundation of the new management plan for Pointe-au-Père Lighthouse National Historic Site of Canada.

  • RUIN-OPHILIA Preserving Cultural Narratives of a Lighthouse Through Controlled Ruination
    RUIN-OPHILIA Preserving Cultural Narratives of a Lighthouse through Controlled Ruination by Zeynep Ekim A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfllment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Architecture (Professional) Azrieli School of Architecture and Urbanism Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2017, Zeynep Ekim ABSTraCT Once vital aspects of safer navigation routes and icons of industrial development, the Imperial Towers of Lake Huron and the Georgian Bay dominated over the Bruce Peninsula coastal landscape for almost two centuries. Their contribution to the development of their respective regions rendered them cultural landmarks and embedded them in the larger cultural narratives of their locales. However, advancements in technologies, like many other engineering works, led these structures to become obsolete. Among these is the Nottawasaga Island Lighthouse, now with all alternative use options exhausted, awaiting its end. This thesis explores a way to turn this ruination process into an architectural experience. Through “controlled ruination” the transmission of larger cultural narratives is enabled while the man- made melts into nature. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my advisors Mariana Esponda and Susan Ross for all their support and encouragement. Without their extensive knowledge and great advice, this thesis would not have been accomplished. Thank you for giving me the passion to work with historic structures. I am honored to be your student. I was fortunate to have met Mario Santana Quintero many years ago. He not only gave me invaluable technical skills, opportunities to work on many amazing projects and be part of prestigious scholarships but he changed the course of my architectural career.
