Article Abstract:

The first joint venture with Alsop Architects, Toronto form Robbie Young+Wright (RYW) has contributed a striking new addition to the changing skyline with its extension and refurbishment to the Ontario College of Art & Design (OCAD). The scheme, flying tabletop created by Gregory Woods and Caroline Robbie, elevates a two-storey box 26 meters into the air, giving the students spectacular city views, protecting residents' views of a nearby park and creating a unique courtyard below.
