refugee centre:
the refugee centre introduces immigrants to canada. The entry
/ learning area is housed in the renovated electrical sub-station which

onto - shown below) houses the library of artifacts (signatures, stories

communal spaces - the lounge and the sauna / showers - while the residences
are suspended over the stream which takes their dreams in the night
