Magazine - Vol. 0, Issue 10

What happens when a church and a 57-storey tower are in the same neighbourhood? What about when a transit station becomes the base for housing? What if a street actually gives people space back? That's the theme of Forma, Vol. 0, Issue 10. It explores ideas that are changing architecture and the built environment. In this issue, you'll learn about Vancouver's Butterfly complex, Toronto's Eglinton Crosstown, and seven proposals for homes above Line 2 stations. You'll get a closer look at a Kitchener home redeveloped without any demolition, some very sculptural millwork, and the design considerations behind car-free streets. We also look at CLT and glulam in the Canadian mass timber context, a folding chair made from a single sheet of plywood, and 11 prefabricated cabins in Portugal. And finally, there's Italy's Itaca, an eco-home built with robotic arms and lime. These stories show how design can turn a question into a place, an object, and a new way of living.

Sen̓ákw Vancouver: The Epic Net-Zero Village of the Future

Sen̓ákw is an 11-tower development in Vancouver’s Kitsilano, built on 10.5 acres of reserve land returned to the Squamish Nation. Designed by Revery with Kasian, it will deliver 6,000 rental homes, including 1,200 below-market, around a public park running beneath the towers, in a “village in the park” concept. Mountain and Long towers carry Squamish cultural symbolism, and the project targets Canada’s first large-scale net-zero operational carbon housing, showing density can mean giving back.
