Ryerson Image Centre conducts research and curates public exhibitions about photographic arts. “The design for the facility took inspiration from the source of all photographic arts – namely, light – as a theme to embed in the renovated and expanded building,” said Donald Schmitt, Principal, Diamond Schmitt Architects.
A double-skin glass façade encircles all four sides of the upper floor and conceals an LED lighting system. At night, a dynamic display of multi-coloured lights glows in separate panels or in unison, transforming the building into a work of art as a programmable and interactive light installation.
