Another year, another @tosoarch.bsky.social BASH! So much fun to catch up with people in such a gorgeous venue. Limberlost Place by @moriyamateshima.bsky.social and Acton Ostry was the perfect place to set off and explore when I needed a break.

Last night I hosted a special trivia night for the Architecture and Design Film Festival Toronto exploring brutalist architecture in film—perhaps one of the most unique events I've gotten to do! So much fun (and so much concrete!)
if you choose your friends well
someday they may MC a brutalism x film trivia night
and it will be fun

(the friend in question is @joelleondanis.bsky.social and this was for ADFF + @tosoarch.bsky.social at TIFF)

Amazing talk. These cities see procurement as an opportunity: to educate the public about design; to incubate young design firms; to choose from ideas presented on a level playing field. It's a must watch for any municipality--or heck, any client that procures architecture.

👏 @tosoarch.bsky.social
Exciting and FREE panel discussion on REFORMING PROCUREMENT next Tues, Oct 14 at 12pm. Hosted by @tosoarch.bsky.social, moderated by @novakovicto.bsky.social, it features reps from New York, Montréal, & Edmonton, all cities with a track record of procuring design excellence.

View from the Toronto Society of Architects (@tosoarch.bsky.social) boat tour.

A really wonderful way to spend the morning, learning about the skyline, the islands, and the Port Lands.

Incredible @tosoarch.bsky.social tour @utoronto.ca of two new landscapes: Ziibiing, & the transformation of King's College Circle. They're interrelated, & share themes, but come from deeply different approaches.

Thank you designers/tour guides:

Scarborough Civic Centre, Scarborough 1973, Raymond Moriyama Architect.

An architectural and graphic design gem that has been (for the most part) very well preserved. The civic centre still features the old City of Scarborough logo, as well as the departmental supergraphics.

A few captures of last night's Appreciation Party, an annual event to say THANK YOU to the over 300+ volunteers, sponsors and partners who make our work possible. We're grateful to be part of this generous, kind and dedicated community wanting to make a better city and profession. ♥️

Speedy and efficient construction does not need to come at the expense of sustainability and long term planning. Read our letter regarding recently passed Bills 5 and 17 torontosocietyofarchitects.ca/announcement...
Open Letter on Ontario's Bill 5 and Bill 17 - TSA
The TSA is deeply concerned with the Province's approach to Bill 5 and 17 and their consequences on our built and natural environments.

Check out the Toronto Society of Architects booth at the Pride Street Fair! The TSA is showcasing their research on Toronto's queer spaces (and selling some really cool queer space merch as a fundraiser for future research). They'll be around until 11 tonight and all day tomorrow.
