Visit to 1 King Street West
With a sunset visit to 1 King Street West, Section ONE was able to get a better understanding of technical components in real life on site. From fan coil units and electrical rooms to sprinklers and fire separation, the students were shown some of the critical components of architecture often either hidden behind finishes and drywall or subverted by design aspirations.

DMZ Visit
Today Section ONE had a great opportunity to get a tour of the DMZ at Ryerson University.
We were fortunate to have not only toured the facility but also get one on one sessions with two great organizations in the DMZ, ARB Labs and TAD (Tactile Audio Displays). Here are a few highlights of Section ONE experiencing the facility.

Digital Media Zone
Section ONE will be visiting the Digital Media Zone on Wednesday, February 6th in two groups in order to prevent huge congestion and distract the workplace environment. All students will be in studio on Wednesday at 10AM for a briefing.
The groups are as follows:
Group ONE
Ailsa, Danielle, Ariel, Gary, Ray, Luke, Jay
Group TWO
Aris, Kate, Hovag, Soroush, Mahan, Steven, Demitri
As a reminder, students are to come with appropriate questions that would help fulfill development of design strategies as they proceed into their final project. The DMZ is more than simply a workspace and as students develop their programming in the main level(s) it is important to investigate what goes on beyond workstations. Activities such as beta testing, networking events, and high profile visits are just a few of the notable things that go on in the DMZ. Bring questions along with your cameras!
