Toronto has proven it's got game on the basketball court with the Raptors’ stellar performance in the NBA Finals, but U.K. design magazine Wallpaper says Toronto is making a name for itself in the architecture world, too.
Writer Alex Bozicovic looks at some of Toronto’s exciting architectural projects – from newly completed buildings to developments in the works, including two at the Ƶ.
Bozicovic highlights U of T’s plans to build a tall wood tower (pictured below) on the downtown Toronto campus.
“Its cross-laminated timber structure, seen through the glass of the facade, will send a clear message about architectural innovation,” he writes.
He also highlights the new One Spadina building that houses the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design, noting that, “The Ƶ architecture school now has a home that speaks of serious creative ambition.”
