Tilt-up concrete construction is common for realizing big-box architectural typologies, carrying the baggage of associated environmental and social implications. Observations revealed parallels between tilt-up concrete construction and stagecraft through their use of deliberate projections and choreographed actors. This highly-standardized process was intervened by raising slabs prior to their completed cure, resulting in slumped material conditions. Sited in Toronto, where historic facades are incongruously plastered throughout the city, the Intermission explores how slumped tilt-up concrete panels might reframe our relation to these histories and give the stage to what was previously demolished behind those facades.
