Bata Shoe Museum Proposals
The team behind the Bata Shoe Museum 150th Canadian Anniversary window visited the site and came up with several design options before commencing production on the current scheme.
Visiting the site with the new team of [R]ed[U]x Lab members meant not only documenting the site but also taking a look at the finer details of the past installation that would better inform the infrastructure resources for the new design.
As evidenced by the options produced the team delivered on a range of options including representations of urban centres to the nation's geological morphology. Here are several initial proposals at the outset of the project.

Bata Shoe Museum's Window Celebrating Canada's 150th Anniversary
Once again the Department of Architectural Science through [R]ed[U]x Lab have been asked to design, detail, and deliver on a window display that celebrates Canada's 150th anniversary. This was a difficult task given the benchmark established by the current installation, foot[age], a collaboration between Architectural Science and Interior Design students, led by [R]ed[U]x alumni and DFZ technicians Fil Tisler and Naveed Khan.
This initiative is led by Lisa Boulatova with John Zhang and Liam Hall with the support of students in the Department of Architectural Science. This design draws upon the provincial flowers as a unifying element wrapping around the prominent window. Composed of an array of 3D printed shoes, the installation undulates beyond a subtle backdrop that has been evolving for the past few months. This looks to be one of the [R]ed[U]x Lab's first projects that use the medium beyond prototyping and instead serving as the actual output.
Below are samples of the initial proposal to the Bata Shoe Museum. Special thanks to Remi for the excellent initial photos to work from in the montages.

This past year has been quite intense despite the dearth of updates and posts. With the end of the academic year, the [R]ed[U]x Lab has been literally building up a few projects that continue to attest to the Department of Architectural Science's commitment to provide students experiential learning opportunities and make connections to the greater community. This summer will be quite busy with two notable projects right off the start: the Bata Shoe Museum window celebrating Canada's 150th anniversary and the City of Toronto's Parklet project.
It's that time of year - let the fabrication and building begin!
