The Springdale Library and Komagata Maru Park aspires to create an inclusive gathering place, a progressive architectural expression in the suburbs, and a point of pride for the city. The concept for this project is to establish a new type of suburban landscape through the organically shaped perimeter of the building; the creation of an undulating topography of fluid ceilings and mountainous green roof; and the sectional variation of the ground plane. The new Springdale branch provides Brampton with an emboldened organic presence and a sustainable public resource for the community.

Jury Comments

“This gorgeous project was able to achieve a high sustainability score despite significant glazing. Immaculately detailed, with a whimsical and fun spirit that is child-friendly. How powerful it is to go to the suburbs, expecting banal architecture, massive surface parking lots and flattened plazas, then to discover this spectacular park and library!”
