Inspired by the Anishnaabe story of the Seven Grandfather Teachings, ACi crafted a visionary concept design for a new field house at an Ontario college. The design weaves together seven distinct moments within the landscape, each embodying the timeless lessons of wisdom, truth, humility, bravery, love, respect, and honesty. The ambitious plan features not just the field house itself, but also an outdoor classroom and event space, along with dynamic areas dedicated to recreational activities, creating a vibrant hub for learning, connection, and community.
