| | | Hey! This I my first post. I was in the building for a paper I'm writing on urban ruins so I thought I would share my description of the exploration. This occurred a couple weeks ago. EDIT** just watched the video. Really cool to see the place in daytime and during the summer. Thanks The second ruin site was a disused and soon to be demolished set of buildings behind the Bell Centre. The building I entered had no door and only a flimsy fence blocking access. It looked quite foreboding and took some convincing to get my exploration partner to go inside. Despite the ease of entry, we were nervous and faked phone conversations outside the gate before a break in the traffic allowed us to slip inside. The building was gutted on all floors to reveal bare cinder blocks that had been used as graffiti space for some time. The ornate detailing on the iron staircase railings was the remarkable remaining feature that connected me with the period of construction. Heavy rain and a leaky ceiling pushed trickles of water down the damp, grey walls, reminding me of caves I explored with my family when I was younger. Certain floors held piles of burnt construction material; someone had fun here. Towards the top of the structure we exited the back of the building and climbed to the roof from the fire escape. This was treacherous: stairs were missing, the railings would disappear in certain sections and the rusted metal was slick with rain. The roof held massive puddles, dead grasses, more graffiti and rubble. As we took pictures of the Bell Centre, all glass and light and rising into the dark sky across the road, the building reflected in a rubble strewn pool of water and I was struck by the proximity between the crumbling and the brand new. The glow from the Bell Centre cast strange shadows and left pockets of darkness. My camera was troubled by the tricky light, and getting restless I walked around the roof and noticed makeshift bridge of construction material which spanned the short distance between the two side-by-side buildings. I descended to the bridge and crossed to the other building; in the near freezing weather it was nerve-racking thinking about the crossing point sliding out of place. A quick peek into the other building revealed more graffiti and a slightly more intact interior. Getting cold, we decided to descend without exploring further. Cold fingers can be dangerous in the ruins. Trying to exit from the fire escape, we came to a sudden halt when the stairway disappeared halfway down through the third story of the building. The ruin seemed to confound typical expectations of navigating built environments and necessitated long workarounds to cover short distances.
| Cheers
