Exhibitions
2012 "Big Enough?", Harbourfront Centre Architecture Gallery, Toronto
With more and more people moving back to the city centre, the expectations of what is necessary in terms of living space has dramatically shifted. Living in the city versus living in the suburbs requires a radical change of perspective and compromise of priorities. In the city, for most people, the large single family home on a spacious lot with all the amenities that go with it is a distant dream. How much space do we really need? And how can these needs be accommodated in a city where space is such a limited commodity? These are the questions we are now facing. It is a dilemma faced by cities around the world. This exhibition seeks a new paradigm for city living. As part of the exhibition "Big Enough?", 'Metrics or Memories?' by nkArchitect seeks to illustrate the potential qualitative returns should we choose to shift focus from the metrics of space to the optimization of spatial experience.
2011 TWENTY + CHANGE Emerging Canadian Design Practices, Harbourfront, Toronto
The exhibition serves to take the pulse of design interests and sensibilities amongst emerging Canadian practices. nkA was one of only nineteen firms selected from across Canada for its design excellence, formal and tectonic innovation, model of practice and sustainable approach.
