Toronto-area architects and urban design professionals are being honoured for projects that are pushing the envelope with innovative new concepts. As contemporary urban design continues to evolve, architects and planners across Canada are moving beyond merely striving for a strong visual impact by putting functionality and sustainability front and centre.
The awards recognize both completed projects and those still in the concept stage, as “ideation and execution both present unique challenges,” Boutin says. The trail incorporates mobility vehicle charging stations along the way, and LED strips built into handrails creates a “ribbon of light down into the valley at night,” he says, while not disturbing nocturnal wildlife.
“When you contrast against what used to be here, and smog days and the coal-burning environment of the past, it’s truly a rebirth of a new community and a new connection to the waterfront,” says Brian Sutherland of Argo Development Corp., one of the lead partners.
“It’s long been historically used for a gathering point for the community, but it was ultimately just a parking lot,” says Ernestine Aying of the Jane/Finch Community and Family Centre. “Many people expressed a desire to enhance it in a way that it could support these community activities.”
