Toronto's Bentway Staging Grounds - Spaces Under the Bridge
Bentway Staging Grounds is a new type of public infrastructure that blends art and education, public space and experimentation, repositioning unused space beneath the Gardiner Expressway as a site of environmental regeneration. The design team, led by architectural designer Tei Carpenter and architect/artist Reza Nik, transformed the vacant site into a living laboratory that educates visitors about urban ecology and stormwater management.
