In Canada, batay-csorba architects has sought to build upon the rich lineage of the Toronto's precast concrete history. in its concept for ‘[misfit]fit’, a six-storey 32,000 square foot boutique office building, the firm suggests an alternative to the pervasive glass wall curtain project that is common in new development. The proposed building’s program is comprised of four floors of flexible office space, retail at grade, and a rooftop sculpture garden/event space. The concept is located in the Toronto's historic liberty village — the city’s oldest settled district — defined by its industrial buildings and distinct brick architecture. In approaching its means of construction, batay-csorba considered it critical to remain sensitive to the historical character of the neighbourhood. The [misfit]fit building leverages advanced fabrication techniques and reusable moulds in order to move the project beyond just pure repetition, while steering clear of mass customization. The facade’s panelling system focuses on three main characteristics: panel-to-panel discontinuity, stacking and repetition, and tenuous equilibrium. Individual panels are designed hermetically without regard for the overall aggregation, and without regard for adjacent units. As panels are confronted with one another, their incompatibility is abrupt and glaringly obvious, allowing each element to be read independently against the larger mass.
