A Toronto architect whose focus is ephemeral art installations in public places will receive the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada?s (RAIC) Allied Arts Medal for 2017.Â
Christine Leu, MRAIC, is the co-founder, with Alan Webb, of the multi-disciplinary arts and curation practice LeuWebb Projects in Toronto. She also teaches courses in architecture and interior design 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.
?Each one of Christine Leu?s permanent works and temporary installations manifests a thoughtful and thought-provoking approach to its architectural or environmental context,? said the three-member jury. ?This is an extraordinary body of work that bridges art and architecture. It demonstrates skill in response to site interpretation. There is a high-quality craft element.? The jury consisted of: Marianne McKenna, FRAIC, founding partner of KPMB Architects, Toronto; Paule Boutin, AP/FIRAC, RAIC Past-President, principal of Paule Boutin Architecte, Montreal; and Yves Trépanier, founder and co-owner of TrépanierBaer Gallery, Calgary.
LeuWebb Projects recently created a landscape installation at Ontario Place in Toronto, reimagining the utopian architectural forms...
