Fort York dates from the late 1700s and is considered the birthplace of Toronto. It is the single most important visual and cultural heritage link to British military and social history remaining in the City of Toronto. The original location, on the shore of Lake Ontario protecting the harbour of York, now Toronto, has been altered by two centuries of infill so that it is now 500 metres from the shoreline of the Lake and located almost immediately below the elevated Gardiner Expressway. Our project is to construct a visitor centre to introduce and reposition the Fort within a context which has changed radically from when the Fort was constructed and in use. - Patkau
