The project is a congestion of typologies reflective of the diversity of Toronto Islands visitors. The basin is a common typological denominator across cultures — either by itself, or conjunctive with other bathing spaces —in the act of cleansing. A bisecting basin corridor rigourously orients and negotiates between a sequence of rituals personified by “gardens.” This procession occurs within rigid bounds that contract purposeful movement and compress cultural expressions into a collectivizing singular experience.
