‘But first, the framework’ is a public forum for continuing conversations surrounding thesis research completed in December 2022 by Master of Architecture graduates from the University of Toronto. The four projects are allied in their critical interrogation of normative systems in the built environment and structured around the development of subversive methodologies that imagine new modes of interacting with the world as designers. In the spirit of generating dialogue within the school and beyond, WIP Thesis Research from the 2023 gradating class will also be exhibited
