"A Walk On Water"

Toronto's "Waterwalk" this project serves to provide accessible infrastructure along Toronto's Harbourfront area, allowing visitors to fully experience being on water.

“"A Walk on Water" serves as a platform for incorporating universal and accessible design principles, thus enriching the quality of public architecture. This can be demonstrated with a fluid-like pathway that is built along the Waterfront which incorporates the use of accessible pathways to address the lack of activity and density issues of Toronto's Waterfront community. This thesis explores the interplay of sensory elements and wayfinding systems that are adaptable to changing climates. This initiative enhances the relationship between the city and the water-creating novel sensory experiences. ”
