The intersection of College and Spadina is a space that has strong cultural exchange from the congested markets of small Chinese shops to the camouflaged, yet busy, interchange of people from the upper residences to the urban fabric below. Although a sort of distinct culture manifests itself in those streets, there is no strong architectural language that acts as a catalyst for the continual formation of that particular urban fabric. The multi-functional complex is an opportunity to express a strong architectural language, which can provide an environment where different social and cultural groups can be celebrated while establishing the many different programs within the building.
