Book Synopsis Design City Toronto by : Sean Stanwick
Download or read book Design City Toronto written by Sean Stanwick and published by Academy Press. This book was released on 2007-03-26 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. Design 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 shouldappeal 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. Featured buildings include: Art Gallery of Ontario Canada’s National Ballet School. Evergreen Commons at the Brick Works. Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts. Ontario College of Art & Design. Royal Ontario Museum. Terrence Donnelly Centre for Cellular and Biomolecular Research.
