Brickworks

A few shots from my recent trip to Toronto.

This is the Don Val­ley Brick­works, presently under re-​​construction at the hands of the Ever­green Foun­da­tion, as of Decem­ber 8^th. No stranger to tres­pass­ing, I missed my chance to get inside this amaz­ing space, as the site was indeed quite busy.

Despite the pos­i­tive notion of adap­tive reuse, tak­ing form with a sum­mer mar­ket, and Evergreen’s own Cen­tre for Urban Sus­tain­abil­ity, instead of con­tin­ued aban­don­ment, or inevitable bulldozing–I did note the occa­sional dis­sent­ing (‘Ever­greed’) graf­fiti pep­per­ing the site (as have oth­ers, evi­dently.)
