Ireland Park 2008
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 who came through Toronto in the 1840's. Fig Industrial Design's role was the design of 3 interactive terminals situated in an Irish limestone 'vault' in the west end of the park. The terminals provide information on the ark, and signify Irelands growth as a technology centre in Europe. Through a use of patterned and brushed stainless steel the encloures capture a touch screen and speakers, creating robust and serviceable interactive terminals.
