Wreck City Rec Centre (2013)
Social engagement: venue and event space hosting games, meetings, and discussions

The Wreck City Rec Centre was a temporary space and activity centre built using materials salvaged from a pre-demolition site, and featuring drop-in activities, events, and collaborative games. The Rec Centre engaged politics surrounding large-scale demolition projects, the history of the imaginal neighbourhood, and the role of play in shared zones of living.

Wreck City was a community‐based art experiment transforming 9 houses, 3 garages, and a greenhouse scheduled for demolition into temporary art, installation, and performance spaces. Over 100,000 people of all walks and ages visited the site during its week-long run.
