STORY EXCHANGE



In this project, we were asked to imagine an Idea Exchange for Parkdale, Toronto. What is an Idea Exchange? Put simply, it is a library for the future. To design such a place, it was necessary to take a position on the question: what is the nature of information today, and how might that change? The project responds to this problem by putting emphasis on STORYTELLING as the essence of information and meaning in the past, present, and future.
