"We have a responsibility to society," Rogers told Dezeen in an interview ahead of his Royal Acadamy retrospective. You will shortly receive a welcome email so please check your inbox. Coincidentally, the rail corridor runs directly north of the Rogers Centre and the space surrounding the stadium. Unless they’re going to pivot the field, there’s no reason to open up the sightlines because there’s nothing but condos surrounding most of the Rogers Centre. The architect confided that he entered the competition to design the Centre Pompidou "against my will". Beyond idiotic. In the meantime, there will be some short-term renovations at the dome this year, but the Rogers Centre is still in desperate need of a drastic facelift. What if the Rogers Centre could look out into a Central Park-like green space with the Rail Deck Park? Opening up land above the tracks seems like the perfect compromise.

Blue Jays Ballpark Hack: Bring Your Own Food to the Game for Free, Toronto Craft Brewers Weigh in on the Lack of Craft Beer at Blue Jays Games, Real Grass is the Least Important Renovation Needed at Rogers Centre. On February 2, 2005, Ted Rogers, President and CEO of Rogers Communications, announced a three-year corporate contract to change the name of SkyDome to Rogers Centre. The Skydome was the last of the “monolith” ballparks, where the vision was to build multi-sport stadiums that could pack as many people in as possible. Shi Davidi wrote about this for Sportset back in August, but he wonders whether Rogers might try to get in on the Rail Deck park project and develop part of the land around the stadium. Deloitte enlisted HBA students to submit their ideas to improve the overall fan experience at the Rogers Centre. Not all of these ideas are totally feasible, but then again, feasibility isn’t a priority at the concept level. document.getElementById("comment").setAttribute( "id", "aac60bf8b21155c29330d5d804a4af8f" );document.getElementById("j39fe4dc8b").setAttribute( "id", "comment" ); Ian has been writing about the Toronto Blue Jays since 2007. Le Centre Rogers organise parfois des concerts, des conférences et des expositions. That word choice is unintentionally funny. While they’re waiting, the Blue Jays have made some infrastructure-related renovations to the stadium. Rogers made his name working in partnership with Italian architect Renzo Piano in the 1970s when the two relative unknowns won the competition to design the Centre Pompidou in Paris, which completed in 1977. These students hit on a lot of points which most fans would agree with; there needs to be a much bigger emphasis on the history of the Blue Jays within the stadium. It had a retractable roof, the largest scoreboard in the entire word and was once the envy of every professional sports team. One interesting idea — and this is just navel-gazing here — what if the Blue Jays were to re-align the field so that it faces towards the Rail Deck Park? His name will be dropped from the … There’s no timeline in place for completion, but Stantec says the next phase will be complete later this spring to utilize the unused space above the tracks between Bathurst Street and Blue Jays Way. The Skydome was the last of the “monolith” ballparks, where the … Last year he finally added the American Institute of Architect's Gold Medal to his collection. Since this is such … Personally, I would come to the Rogers Centre if I could watch the game from a bird’s eye view. Wait until shovels are in the ground, and even then, proceed with caution. His name will be dropped from the practice within the next two years, per the studio's founding constitution. The name change remains controversial and is unpopular with many fans, most of whom continue to refer to it as SkyDome in opposition to increased commercialism from the purchase of naming rights.

Photo is by David Noble, courtesy of Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners (RSHP) Described by Piano as a "big urban toy", Centre … Another interesting concept was something for the top-level concourse of the Rogers Centre. "It was absolutely against my will, but being a good democrat I accepted that I was voted out by Renzo Piano, my wife and the engineers," he said. Isn’t Rail Deck Park still in the feasibility study stage? In the 1960s Rogers designed a house for his parents that he once hoped would be "a standardised system to solve the whole of the British housing problem". Except by MLB rule stadiums are supposed to face ENE to keep setting sun out of the batters eye. Mark Shapiro made some interesting comments to reporters last week and Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com picked up on a few clues left by the president and CEO of the Blue Jays. But the larger-scale project is mainly being run and taken over at an ownership level because it is large in scale. According to a press release from Stantec — the consulting company on this project — the Rail Deck Park will cost upwards of $1.7 billion. There would be this glass donut going around the upper level, and within it would be a Hall of Fame. “It is large in scale” could mean any number of things, but one can deduce that Shapiro is referring to the Rail Deck Park project near Toronto’s waterfront. Centre Pompidou is an example of an inside-out building. "Richard has been a huge inspiration to us all at Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, and to the architectural profession globally," said practice co-founder and former Dezeen Awards judge Ivan Harbour. Questions like these, and many others, are ones which will be answered in the coming months by the Blue Jays. "And I did it.". The architect has publically mourned the UK's loss of social housing projects in recent decades. He enjoyed the tail-end of the Roy Halladay era and vividly remembers the Alex Rodriguez "mine" incident.

It had a retractable roof, the largest scoreboard in the entire word and was once the envy of every professional sports team. That’s when we realized having the glass enclosure around the stadium would offer an element that another stadium typically couldn’t. Nobody in their right minds would want to watch any kind of entertainment from worst seats in the building, all the while enclosed in a hamster ball? I’m not positive there wouldn’t be condos in the way even if they shifted the field, but it’s something to consider. Dezeen Daily is sent every day and contains all the latest stories from Dezeen. Wouldn’t all of this be kind of hard to do without dumping the hotel? They’d solve this problem by having a Hall of Fame ring at the very top of the dome. The Rogers Centre and CN Tower would unquestionably be a large focal point of this endeavour, which jives with Shapiro’s comments about large-scale renovations that “involve more than Rogers Centre”. There is serious work to be done at the Rogers Centre over the next few years. In essence, the thing that intrigued me was their idea of something called “The Nest” – a glass overhang above the field (inspired by the Flight Deck), similar to the see-through floor at the top of the CN Tower. What they should be doing is taking ideas and concepts from the great ballparks around the league (Camden Yards, PNC Park, AT&T Park, Petco) and trying to emulate them in their own unique way.
