Description
The Ontario College of Art and Design (OCAD), now known as OCAD University, is found in downtown Toronto, Canada on McCaul Street, just south of Dundas St. The pencil box design, which is a fifth extension of the original building was created through a participatory design venture in the early 2000's. This part of the college is known as the Sharp Centre For Design. It consists of a box four storeys off the ground supported by a series of multi-coloured pillars at different angles and is often described as a tabletop or pencil box.
Some history: "The Ontario Society of Artists passed the motion to "draw up a scheme" for a school of art on 4 April 1876, and the first School of Art opened on 30 October 1876, funded by a government grant of $1,000." -Wikipedia
This $42.5-million expansion and redevelopment has received numerous awards, including the first Royal Institute of British Architects Worldwide Award.
This art was chosen as part, of a Special Feature Series in the “Red Maple Gallery”,, accompanying my BATHURST STREET CAR COMING NORTH TO QUEEN STREET, photograph, an award winning artwork, of the GEORGE F. G. STANLEY AWARD and SPECIAL FEATURE.
