Come check out the premiere of In-Context, a video documentary series profiling contemporary Canadian architecture. Tickets are $6 and can be purchased online or at the box office at Bloor Hot Docs Cinema.

The Stephen Hawking Centre at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics is featured among a number of award-winning projects highlighting the story of Waterloo’s historic intersection of Erb & Caroline. Snippets of the videos can be found here.

Sponsored by the Royal Institute of Architecture in Canada, In-Context has launched a video campaign to highlight the story of Waterloo’s historic intersection of Erb & Caroline, which now hosts four award-winning architectural works. Interviews with Bill Poole (Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery), Shirley Blumberg (CIGI Campus), Gilles Saucier (Perimeter Institute, Phase 1), and Stephen Teeple (Perimeter Institute, Phase 2) are woven together to reveal the array of ideas and buildings that influenced the urban realm of the rapidly growing Waterloo region. Half of the projects would not have been possible without funding and support by Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis, co-founders of Research in Motion.

“Intersection of Erb&Caroline” is the 2nd part of a documentary video series that explore buildings and public spaces that have made a significant social, cultural or environmental impact in Canada.

Teeple Architects received a 2013 Ontario Library Association New Building Award for the John M. Harper Branch Library in Waterloo, Ontario.

The Stephen Hawking Centre at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics was featured in the June 2013 issue of Canadian Architect magazine. The article by David Theodore’s article, titled “Perimeter Twist,” focuses on the four-storey addition to the contemporary research institute in Waterloo. The article can be accessed here.

“Special places like Perimeter encourage young scientists to be ambitious and bold. And I do believe in the limitless power of the human mind to understand the universe and to create the future…
The centre’s clear focus, inspiring design, and productive research interactions will no doubt attract many leading scientists here.”
– Stephen Hawking

The doors are officially open at the Stephen Hawking Centre. This project comprises of a major expansion to the renowned existing research facility in Waterloo, Ontario. The form and architectural solution of the expansion focused on the creation of a unified whole that expresses in architectural terms the cutting edge research of the Perimeter Institute scientists through transparency, continuity, and the making of new spaces for collaboration. The expansion building’s communal and transitional areas – stairs, bridges and interconnecting floor-to-floor landings – maximize the capability for the research scientists to meet and interact outside of offices or classrooms.
