NODES

Time Commons Node System

A spatial configuration currently taking shape in Ottawa. The nodes represent working conditions rather than fixed institutional units.

Overview of Ottawa Nodes

The present configuration combines research space, living space and urban extension points. It remains in development and continues to evolve through use.

Current spatial references within Ottawa

NODE 01

Beausoleil

Research Base (in development)

Located in central Ottawa, Beausoleil is being shaped as a primary research environment.

Its multi-unit configuration allows living, writing and discussion to overlap, supporting sustained periods of focused work.

The space continues to be adjusted through practice rather than predefined programming.

NODE 02

Swans

Living–Presentation Interface

Situated in a residential neighbourhood, Swans operates between daily life and small-scale exchange.

It accommodates informal presentations and conversations emerging from residency work.

The role of this node continues to be explored.

NODE 03

Rebecca

Supplementary Space

Rebecca provides additional spatial capacity within the broader configuration.

Its quieter setting allows certain forms of work to unfold with minimal interruption.

Its long-term function remains open.

NODE 04

York

Urban Extension Point

York introduces a more direct connection to the urban environment.

Positioned in a busier part of the city, it brings a different rhythm and audience condition.

Its role is being defined gradually through use.
