Abstract
At Weissenhof, Germany, in the year 1927 Europe's best architects planned and developed a Demonstration Project of community planning and architectural design … North York is the appropriate locale for a new Demonstration Project for North America … Inventiveness, daring, advanced ideas and concepts in the Yonge Street corridor, just as at Weissenhof 41 years ago, might become the "norm" for developments throughout Canada, indeed the world.-James D. Service (Mayor of North York), 1968The 1927 Weissenhof experimental housing settlement in Stuttgart, Germany, under the direction of architect Mies van der Rohe, brought together 17 architects, including Le Corbusier, Bruno Taut, Mart Stam, and Ernst May, to build 33 houses.Karel Teige called Weissenhof "an event of international significance for the entire modern world" ([1932] 2002, p. 187), while László Moholy-Nagy called it the "most spectacular demonstration in the history of modern architecture" ([1947] 1965, p. 108).Housing colonies as experiments in modernism were common on both sides of the Atlantic: the Prague housing colony Baba and the Brno housing colony were scaled-down versions of Weissenhof, and Invalidovna, constructed in 1967, was an early example of an experimental sídliště using pre-fabricated technology.In the United States, Dolores Hayden points to Clarence Stein's successful "demonstration projects" in Radburn, Sunnyside Gardens, and Baldwin Hills Village in Los Angeles.On 27 February 1968 at the Inn on the Park hotel, North York mayor James Service gave the speech from which the epigraph that opens this chapter is taken; he was speaking to an assembled crowd of bankers and developers on the occasion of the public unveiling of the Yonge Redevelopment Plan authored by the noted modernist architect John C. Parkin and urban planner Murray Jones (see figure 6.2).The study cost 6 The "Total Image": The Making of Willowdale Modern

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
