Master of Landscape Architecture students Elizabeth Birks, Matthew Cooper and Michal Laszczuk participated in the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario's NextGen 5th Annual Design Charrette. This year, the design focus was on the Wellington Destructor, a former garbage incinerator located near Fort York in Toronto. Built in 1925 and abandoned since the 1960s, this post-industrial site offered a wonderful opportunity for design investigation for adaptive reuse.
