Ireland Park is the principal memorial to the Irish Famine experience in Toronto. It is a bridge from the past to the future, remembering the 38,000 people that came through Toronto in the 1840’s. figforty’s role was to design 3 interactive terminals situated in an Irish limestone ‘vault’ in the west end of the Park. The terminals provide information on the Park, and signify Irelands growth as a technology centre in Europe. Through a use of patterned and brushed stainless steel the enclosures capture a touch screen and speakers, creating robust and serviceable interactive terminals.
