1.1 Introduction Abstract
Nestled within several existing neighbourhoods in Toronto’s Portland, the Site running along Mill Street between Parliament and Trinity Street becomes the foci of the area, carrying the potential required for the ambitious project of the Basilica. Being positioned adjacent to the Distillery District that captures the region’s theme of redevelopment, the proposed project must capture its prevailing identity while become a stimulant for the area, looking into its future and growing demographic. The probability and success of the chosen typography in this area was conducted through a meticulous study of the site’s history, characteristics, experiential qualities and in-depth examination of programmatic requirements and the city’s building policies. The analysis examines the competence of a Roman Catholic Basilica being erected in this area, and how the researched program and existing site speak to one another in order to be as cohesive as possible.

2.1 History Evolution + Heritage Allocation Being nestled around multiple eccentric neighbourhoods in the West Don Lands, the site preserves the Victorian Industrial Era Architecture like no other place in North America. The industrial affiliation of the site traces back to 1831 when two the Worts and Gooderham families became partners that invested in a milling business. The first Distillery Operations took place for the first time in 1837. By the 1850’s, the business was thriving and expanding itself to introduce more mills, a wharf, storehouses, icehouses, cooper shops and dairies. The prospering enterprise influenced many residential buildings for the workers to be constructed. The company continued to grow, at one point achieving the title of the largest distillery in the world. The early 1900’s were the starting demise for the industry due to the death of the founders and the effects of the war and prohibition. Continuing onwards, the business revived itself but not to its original prestige, and continued to operate until its closure in 1990’s. During that decade, the district became the second largest filming location in North America. Finally in 2001, The Distillery is purchased by the Cityscape Holdings Inc. and is reimagined as a pedestrian centered village that opened in 2003, becoming one of Canada’s top tourist attractions. Since then, it was received an abundance of good responses, becoming one of Canada’s primal arts, culture, entertainment, and social realms.

3.7 Site Analysis Seismic Exposure, Weather + Foundational Analysis This is mainly determined by the building’s structure itself, and its foundation. Almost all high-rise buildings in Toronto are firmly situated on the bedrock. However, several older buildings were built on poor soils and its masonry structure as weakened over the years. With the proposed site being in an area famous for its old masonry buildings, it might be worthy to consider having the Basilica become designated as an emergency shelter during a severe earthquake. Seismic Hazard Map. (n.d.). Retrieved October 16, 2015 from www.earthquakescanada.nrcan.gc.ca
Seismic Hazard Map of Canada
Like the majority of Southern Ontario, Toronto is situated in a very low risk area in regards to earthquakes. Because of this, building codes are not as heavy in regards to this category here as they are in other areas of Canada. With that being said, Toronto does have regulations to combat seismic forces. In the rare case that the city was to experience an earthquake, it will most likely be 2.0 magnitude earthquake. However, in June of 2010, Toronto experienced a brief 5.0 magnitude earthquake. Due to this occurrence, we need to ensure that any future structures are able to withstand a more extreme force. 20
Due to the industrial nature of the site, the soil has been polluted and toxic. This was a notable issue during the 2015 construction of the Pan Am Athlete’s Village; located just NorthEast of the proposed site. This resulted in delays and required in finding a way to cure or remove the soil. One could either propose to transport the toxic soil to rural location, cure it, or work around it. The Market Wharf condo Tower faced a similar issue and solved it by building its parking structure over top the contaminated soil.

Quaternary sediments generally found within the Don River watershed. ORM deposits may be part of a larger system of ice-controlled meltwater deposition during final deglaciation that includes stratified moraines west of the ORM (Gwyn and Cowan, 1978). The youngest deposits consist of glaciolacustrine sediments that form a thin veneer over the Halton Till units. The location of these deposits is shown on the OGS surficial geology map provided as Figure 6.

5.1 Program Process + Adjacency Matrix A program analysis was conducted to determine the various functions of the building. It was important to understand how each space spoke to one another, their size, requirements and users. The program was based upon various precedents studies, interviews with Parish Facilitators, and from studying the Sacrosanctum Conciliu. Once enough information was gathered, the program was divided into three main sections: The Church, The Parish Hall, and The Rectory. Each space then had its own personal requirements analyzed and connected with each other; eventually determining how the three sections would connect with themselves.

6.4 Precedents Notre Dame Du Haut
North Elevation
By: Le Corbusier Location: Ronchamp, France Date: 1954 Another timeless religious and architectural structure, Le Corbusier’s combines dynamic form, colour and light to define Sacred Space. The site of the building contained a 4th Century Chapel that was destroyed during World War II. The approach Corbusier took to the site was to create sculptural form, independent of his style and the international style. Another fundamental aspect is the journey one ventures on to the site, seeing the building slowly rise out of the horizon, creates the threshold one experiences as they prepare to enter the sacred space. Corbusier wanted to achieve a spatial purity, using form and clean materials with light to create an ethereal atmosphere for meditation and prayer. The massing is the result of a combination of concave and convex walls that generate the sculptural form and support the capping shell.

While these curving entities define the building formally, as one transitions inside the chapel, the form generator becomes light. The interior of this chapel is illuminated by perforations and baffles in the exterior wall. Interestingly, several openings are positioned to capture the sun at a specific date in time. Like Tadao Ando’s Church of Light, Le Corbusier pivots this project on creating a pure and tranquil environment for one to focus on themselves and God. Both projects also heavily use light to help define form and Sacred Space. This project brought forward a very spectacular concept of threshold; doing so through a journey. With the proposed site’s area being in the middle of the precedents analyzed, it would be worthy to examine how to define a journeying threshold on it to prepare one as they enter the Sacred Space.

7.1 Conclusion Review and Next Steps
Through studying the site on adjacent to the Distillery Distract, it demonstrates to be suitable for the chosen building typology of the Basilica. The site analysis studied the unique character, history and people found in its context. It is necessary that the Basilica will serve the site respectively, addressing its inhabitants and future. Both the site and the typology would complement each other to strengthen their core values. Moreover, building code analysis and program analysis brought forward how spaces need to communicate with themselves and form a narrating circulation through it. Upon studying precedents, it was learned how Churches have been designed in respect to both the Old Order and New Order of the Church, but also introduced the concept of personal meditation as sacred space. Additionally, studying these projects also introduced notions of using light, spaces and approach to define what is Sacred Space. With the analysis being concluded, the next steps of this project will be to create a network of the key issues that brought forward and need to be addressed in the final design. With a core concept established, programming massing will be explored within the context of the site and its regulations. With a well-functioning program charted, form will be generated based on it and the main concept. Overall this project has strengthen my understanding of what must be done, how it must be done and why it must be done when commencing to define the Sacred Space.
