At a time when modern architecture has become a means for cities to
up their game and raise their cultural profile on the world stage,
Toronto is coming into its own. Fully entrenched in a design
renaissance that is dramatically changing the face and space of the
city, Toronto is now a welcome playground for celebrated local
talent and international star architects. While some cities can be
immediately defined by a specific style, Toronto is distinguished
instead by a fusion of contemporary architecture, heritage
preservation and sustainable urban design. A true mosaic of
architecture and culture, Toronto is a city learning to recognise
and celebrate its diversity - it is a city set to rediscover
itself.
D"esign City: Toronto" showcases over thirty exemplary
contemporary interior and architectural projects, both complete and
underway. These range from hip restaurants and bars by
Toronto-based practices to major institutional buildings completed
by the likes of Will Alsop, Behnisch, Behnisch & Partners,
Foster and Partners, Frank Gehry, Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg
and Daniel Libeskind. Written in an engaging and lively manner, the
book is beautifully illustrated with new photography by Tom Arban.
It also provides a neighbourhood overview and biographies of
featured designers. It should appeal as much to design savvy
individuals as local and foreign archi-tourists who are as
interested in discovering - or rediscovering - the dynamic
evolution of this exciting city.
