The Summer Carnival and Old Boys Reunion of 1907 were especially interesting celebrations. This event, officially opened July 29, 1907, was dedicated to the reunion of Ottawa's old boys.

  • A City to Call Home: Revisiting the Form of the Urban Family Home in Ottawa
    A CITY TO CALL HOME: REVISITING THE FORM OF THE URBAN FAMILY HOME IN OTTAWA BY MICHELLE UYEYAMA A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Architecture Professional in Azrieli School of Architecture and Urbanism Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2015 Michelle Uyeyama ABSTRACT While ground-breaking architectural ideas and typologies have emerged, shaped and refined domestic architecture throughout the history of modern architecture, there has been little true innovation in recent years in Canadian housing, particularly in family housing. New domestic architecture can take many forms; however, in the urban core, space limitations render the task of innovating housing forms more challenging. This is not to say that the current typologies, the condominium high-rise being dominant among them, do not work, but rather, that they are ill-suited for housing families. This thesis proposes to refine urban family housing and takes on a current Ottawa Community Housing Corporation (OCH) project, seeking to develop renewed urban housing strategies and residential intensification methodologies. As OCH's largest family-oriented social housing community, ii Rochester Heights, Ottawa, provides an ideal opportunity to re-imagine the conventional definition of urban residential housing. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my thesis advisor, Janine Debanné for her encouragement, patience, and support. Her expertise, insight and kindness played a large part in the completion of this thesis. Her assistance in guiding me to relevant texts on Ottawa urban housing were imperative to the research into urban family housing. Finally, her assistance in helping me with finding the rights words has been greatly appreciated.

  • Building a Memory
    Building a Memory Reactivating a Lineage of Community Life at Centretown’s 330 Gilmour Street By Emily Jung Essex A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfllment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Architecture Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2020 Emily Jung Essex Abstract Centretown, one of Ottawa’s oldest residential neighbourhoods, has continuously been evolving since its establishment in the late 18th century. The 21st century pressure for densifcation in this now urban mixed-use neighbourhood is increasing the need for community resources, while at the same time pushing them out. Centretown’s vacant and neglected 330 Gilmour Street, the former Ottawa Public School Board Administration Building, provides a place to establish the missing public space within the community. By adaptively reusing all three additions - 1922, 1956 & 1963 - along with new interventions in 2020, Centretown’s newly established ‘Meeting Place’ binds itself to its lineage of intangible social histories as an expression of community memory characterizing each volume into four places - A Place to Be, Gather, Create and Grow. The four places under one roof assist in providing a burgeoning future for community life in Centretown through representing the historic lineage of community memory at the Meeting Place. Thesis Question _ How can representing the lineage of community memory at 330 Gilmour Street provide means for reimagining the future of community life in Centretown? ii Key Words & Definitions Key Words _ Ottawa, Centretown, Interpretation, Adaptive Reuse Community, Social Infrastructure Defnitions _ Lineage _ A linear sequence of growth evolved from the predecessor.
