CAMH Research Centre
WINNER OF A 2020 CANADIAN ARCHITECT AWARD OF EXCELLENCE
“This is a big building that seems comfortable, with qualities of delicacy and softness. It brings something quiet, even if it’s busy from a programmatic point of view. It’s well-detailed in its sustainability aspects. The facade moves in and out, allowing the park to terrace through the building. It is also the most successful integration of mass timber that we saw among the entries. It’s the whole package, in a large, significant project.” – Stephan Chevalier, juror
The research centre will be Canada’s largest hybrid mass timber public building, and will showcase how the structural technology can be used in a curvilinear building.
