    Framing Industry: Film-making to Place-making
    (2018) Shook, Timothy Scott; Abrams, Michael; Architecture; Digital Repository at the University of Maryland; University of Maryland (College Park, Md.)
    This thesis looks at the relationship between film-making and place-making. More specifically, the cinematic techniques used in film and how to translate them into architecture. The thesis proposes a film institute that will celebrate the industry of film, as well as enhance post-industrial redevelopment and create a new mixed-use hub for Toronto, Ontario. The industry of film in Toronto is at a peak and continues to grow into an integrated asset for the city. This thesis explores the expansion of the city’s planned redevelopment to transform the Port Lands, along with the out-of-commission Hearn Generating Station, into a beacon for the city. The Port Lands Film Institute will invite film-makers and film enthusiasts, of all ages and professions, to participate in a unique place of production, education, and innovation.

    A Celebration of Cultural Heritages
    (2007-05-21) Sawh, Rawle Dovendra; DuPuy, Karl F.G.; Architecture; Digital Repository at the University of Maryland; University of Maryland (College Park, Md.)
    The City of Brampton, Ontario is one of Canada's fastest growing and most diverse communities. Today, 40% of Brampton's population is comprised of emigrates from foreign countries. These diverse communities must co-exist if a truly multi-cultural society is to be achieved. This thesis is "committed to the preservation, development and celebration of the cultural heritages of the diverse ethnic communities of Brampton." 'Carabram,' an annual Multi-Cultural Festival, has long been a Brampton tradition. However, currently Carabram has neither a permanent infrastructure nor a central location for its celebration. This thesis promotes that there be a unifying place for this celebration of diversity. Visitors will gain a better understanding of cultural differences and learn to appreciate these differences. It is a place where various cultures can co-exist and a place where cultural individualism is encouraged. Its main objective is to create an exhibition arena that celebrates Brampton's diversity.
