Ontario Place

Canada

When it opened in 1971, Ontario Place gave Toronto’s citizens the opportunity to experience the city’s waterfront like they never had before. Creating a new urban amenity was envisioned as a celebration of Ontario’s cultural and economic achievement, in the spirit of civic competition, after Expo 67 captured the world’s attention on behalf of Toronto’s rival city of Montréal. The design was entrusted to architect Eberhard Zeidler and landscape architect Michael

Hough, who envisioned an expansive park on artificial islands rising out of Lake Ontario. Sheltered by a breakwater, in their midst they would contain the main attraction: a complex of five pods. Ontario Place | World Monuments Fund (wmf.org)
