This lecture will focus on how the work of MERGE has evolved from small-scale material explorations to transforming Housing typologies in Boston, Detroit, and throughout the US. The presentation will explore contemporary interpretations of varying contexts, as MERGE reimagines the vernacular of each unique site and region at the missing middle scale of Housing. The need for more modest scale housing in particular offers immense opportunity for experimentation and the revitalization of many neighborhoods throughout the country. As the housing crisis in the US has reached a fever pitch, we cannot rely on big development to satisfy our collective housing needs and changing lifestyles. Whittaker will discuss how MERGE is translating known residential building types in both form, function, and material to address this demand for tectonic and social diversity through their research and built work on the flat, maisonette, duplex, triple-decker, and Chicago 6-flat, among others. Elizabeth Whittaker is an Associate Professor in Practice of Architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, where she has been teaching Core Architecture Studios since 2009. Elizabeth is also the founding principal of MERGE architects, a practice that aims at developing contemporary craft, transforming typologies, and addressing social ecologies throughout the US. Her practice operates at multiple scales through commercial, institutional, retail, private residential, multi-family housing, graphic and furniture design. The work combines both digital fabrication and the hand made by working through a cross-disciplinary as well a cross-production process.

Best Things to Do

The CN Tower is really impressive. Take the high-speed elevator to the top and stand on the glass-floored observation deck, overlooking the Toronto city scenery and Lake Ontario. The view is breathtaking. The revolving restaurant is also a great experience, enjoying the panoramic view while enjoying the food. It is worthy of being a Toronto landmark and is worth a visit.

Casa Loma

Historic buildings

Casa Roman Castle is truly amazing! From the moment you step in, it seems to be back to medieval Europe. The castle is unique in style, with gothic spires and exquisite carvings, showing the luxury and mystery. The interior is even more gorgeous, with elegant study rooms and mysterious towers, each room full of stories. The tower overlooks downtown Toronto with a panoramic view and intoxicating.

Art Gallery of Ontario

Immediate access

The Art Gallery of Ontario is a very attractive museum designed by the architect Frank Gehry. Its appearance is like a crystal ship, with a strong sense of modern art. The glass wall and glass wings on the north side of the main entrance glow under the lights at night, creating a beautiful scenery. The spiral staircase in the museum fully demonstrates Gehry&#39;s design talent.
