PARK PARK is a room of parked curiosities designed to provoke a non-prescriptive rethink of the ubiquitous neighbourhood parking lot and the way we designate land use in our cities. We are all too familiar with the barren landscape formed by surface parking lots; they exist all across North America. In contrast, PARK PARK is designed as a layer cake of uses where single use has long prevailed. This ‘parking lot park’ provides a colourful, vibrant collision of activities that takes on new meaning and provokes new conversations about the role of parking lots in urban neighbourhoods like Inglewood in Calgary.

Site A is inspired by clouds, smoke, and prayer offerings. These forms tell the narrative of the signs that emerged to lead the people on their migration. This attempts to collapse the idea of vision - migration - inhabitation, and speaks about lodge forms, and shell forms while referencing traditional making techniques. This concept ties into the idea of petroglyphic clan symbols, and language lit through translucent shapes. A mobile app can further this narrative through augmented reality curation.

The concept for Site B is based on the Anishinaabe Clan System and the story by James Dumont regarding the symbology and colours representing a “safe space” for any and all members of each respective clan. This narrative can be displayed in different innovative ways of visual markings that tell the story of strength and resistance. As a means of making Humber College more welcoming to all visitors, this concept uses a simplified representation of clan colours and names integrated through window decals, or light boxes. The concept of clan names can be portrayed in various different languages on the entrance windows, or inside the foyer. The migration story can be told through an innovative version of a petroglyph copper inlay within the existing concrete sidewalk.

Frame fabrication and installation by Wood Anchor. Rope installation by ft3 Architecture - Keep Your Cool is a sensory experience of colour, light and shadows that frames the boundless sky above. Layers of interwoven cord emulate cloud formations and provide a canopy of ethereal shade above the grass. The installation encourages cloud gazing; taking time to pause, reflect and create infinite possibilities, ideas and narratives. In the digital communication age, the thought bubble or ‘typing awareness indicator’ keeps us in perpetual anticipation. Keep Your Cool blends this familiar symbol with cloud imagery, juxtaposing nature and technology. Through scale, orientation and views, the installation re-imagines these recognizable icons, and redefines our association with them – from potential unease to limitless creative potential. The pattern of the cords is motivated by the methods and process of string art. In contrast to this analog art, we suggest keeping your cool through digital hashtags and selfies!

The installation encourages cloud gazing; taking time to pause, reflect and create infinite possibilities, ideas and narratives. In the digital communication age, the thought bubble or ‘typing awareness indicator’ keeps us in perpetual anticipation. Keep Your Cool blends this familiar symbol with cloud imagery, juxtaposing nature and technology. Through scale, orientation and views, the installation re-imagines these recognizable icons, and redefines our association with them – from potential unease to limitless creative potential. The pattern of the cords is motivated by the methods and process of string art. In contrast to this analog art, we suggest keeping your cool through digital hashtags and selfies!

Frame fabrication and installation by Wood Anchor. Rope installation by ft3 Architecture - Keep Your Cool is a sensory experience of colour, light and shadows that frames the boundless sky above. Layers of interwoven cord emulate cloud formations and provide a canopy of ethereal shade above the grass.

Approximately ¼ of Toronto's total land area is covered by streets. Streets are about more than simply travelling from one place to another. The City of Toronto is examining different ways to encourage public life on our streets. A vibrant and animated public realm contributes to quality of life, economic prosperity, and property values. Transportation Services plans, constructs, and manages the transportation infrastructure within the public right of way. The Division seeks to build safe and beautiful streets that serve residents, businesses, and visitors in an environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable manner. Temporary parklets are creative structures that encourage people to gather, sit, and enjoy their surroundings. They are an economical and creative solution to spaces that lack sidewalk space. Temporary parklets are intended to have a lifespan of at least six months. Examples of features that could be incorporated include, but are not limited to creative seating, tables, performance stage, interactive public art, and creative bike parking. Temporary parklets are powerful placemaking tools that build connections to neighbourhoods and cultivate a sense of curiosity and excitement in our urban spaces.

We were approached by Dave Thomas of Ayshkum Engineering (co-designed U of M’s Aboriginal Students Centre) to fabricate and co-design build a commemorative display for University of Manitoba’s Faculty of Engineering ENGAPprogram. An important element in the concept was a wood slab which lead Dave to contact us to see how we could bring his concept to fruition. Upon meeting with Dave and his design team we collectively concluded that we (as a design-build studio) would co-fabricate/co-design-build the entire display. The concept Dave and his team envisioned used materials that would symbolize elements in indigenous culture. Aluminum panel stand-offs featured the alumni of the program. All names of the graduates were laser engraved on the panels. The panels which stand proud of the back lit acrylic rubber cast is made to resemble a canoe. The 9 foot wood slab is built from solid Oak. The CNC work symbolizes the lakes of Manitoba with small rivers running off them. All engravings on the slab including the ENGAP logo were laser engraved.

Our designs are a product of our culture of collaboration, a process, a tool, a material or a technique. Rather than a design trickling down from designer to fabricator, our pieces are designed and built to showcase our studio’s unique and adventurous operation. Like any good conversation, our work develops from mixture of stories, what ifs, practical advice, challenges, a dare, frivolous banter and a few inside jokes. The conical 7’ 6’’ solid turned elm piece was designed and built using custom made machinery and a little in-house ingenuity. You Are Here is the sculptural product of our design process, by pushing elements of scale, playfulness and presentness. The work invites the viewer to contemplate the potential of design to create meaning in any space. We are present in everything we build. We are constantly aware of the properties of the materials we work with–maintaining our presentness in everything we do. YOU ARE HERE tells that story.

Be a part of Winnipeg hockey history! Wood Anchor is proud to announce we are designing and building a public sculpture inspired by our favorite winter sport! The sculpture will mimic the shape of snowflakes comprised of old wood hockey sticks all joined in the center to a solid MB oak hub; paying homage to the river trail and hockey as a Manitoban pastime. This is where you come in! We are asking for donations of used wood hockey sticks
