Christine Leu
Toronto architect Christine Leu, MRAIC, is the co-founder, with Alan Webb, of the multi-disciplinary arts and curation practice LeuWebb Projects. A graduate of the University of Waterloo School of Architecture and a licensed member of the OAA, she also teaches as an adjunct architecture and interior design professor at Ryerson University.
LeuWebb uses space, light, sound and texture to activate public space, with a focus on social issues and respect for historical context. The practice?s grounding in site-specificity comes from the founders? experience and training as architects. The collaborative practice operates at a variety of scales and across a range of media and disciplines. The exhibition Workplace Affairs explored the relationship of space to the creative process.

Flotsam/Jetsam consists of several hundred plaster casts of the Cine-sphere, pavilions, and modular pods strewn upon the rocky infill of the west beach, interspersed between detritus and miscellaneous objects.
