O-Zone is a recreation centre located in Trinitiy Bellwoods Park in Toronto, Canada. The design is conceptualized on the notion of continuous and fluid circulation between social spaces and paths of movement defined by curvilinear boundaries.
The organization is an exercise in travel from the landscape into the void, or vice a versa. Starting from top to bottom, the centre attempts to provide an excursion through which the occupant happens to experience different programs.
Program allocation & Process sketches
Given the open nature of the internal organization embedded within the landscape, programmed spaces are defined primarily by connections of circulation systems, describing sensations of openness and compression simultaneously as well as the continuity of contrasting experiences.
What is therefore established is an awareness of a place where one becomes the observer and the observed.
