Thermarium by Daniel Rabin and Annie Ritz
It's a great project, have a look! This project is going to be in the -arium book (on the bottom of this post).
"The Thermarium envisions a new beach typology for the Toronto Waterfront. Responding to the lack of swimming at Toronto’s new urban beaches and consistent CSO (combined sewage overflow) closures at surrounding swim areas, the Thermarium offers new possibilities for water immersion and activity that are enabled, rather than prohibited, by the polluted run-off instigated by heavy rainstorms."

LoftCube by Werner Aisslinger
Werner Aisslinger Studio (the same as the last post involving the work with glass) also made a great improvement by creating high end affordable houses called LoftCubes few years ago... Even though back at the beginning prices weren't as expensive as they are now they are still quite cheap (you can buy a full house without the land for 100000 Euros. And once you buy it its ready to transport into anywhere with everything inside.
