Silent Wave​
​

The Silent Wave is a place of solitude that captures the endless movement of Toronto’s waterfront.  Beginning with an image of Lake Ontario, a series of maps take place within Grasshopper’s image sampler, thus translating the photo into a form of fluid waves. Breaking down the massing into a series of parallel ECOwool panels, creates a transparency to the North and South with views of the landscape that are distorted as one moves within and around the pavilion. The fabrics flow as wind moves laterally, creating a dynamic quality to the static form. The experience is that of a cave, unknown until one enters. Once pulled through an entry of three heights: walking, bending, or crawling with the landscape, the space continues vertically past the guard stand to a pinnacle of undisrupted light. Here one experiences the peak of the catalyst, until returning back down to the ceaseless motion of the cavity.
