The Toronto Society of Architects (TSA) recently revealed its Virtual Pride line-up of 3D inhabitable spaces designed by architects, designers and artists. This year, the organization explored the theme of OUT: What does it mean to be out when you are staying in" How does space alter the experience of private and public life" How do we celebrate outness architecturally"

?Our virtual floats are online community spaces, allowing us to celebrate virtually together even when staying apart. Think of them like virtual Winterstations but with an LGBTQI2 lens,? says the TSA.
The Virtual spaces include:
Virtual Village

“What would Pride in Toronto be without our very own Church and Wellesley Village" The Virtual Village is the hub of the TSA?s Virtual Pride Parade and a good starting point to meet with friends as you explore each of the floats! Once on Church Street, you can click on the images of the different floats to visit them.”
