Contenido parcial: This month’s issue showcases leading educational-sector projects by Canadian architects.- At Limberlost, an academic tower on Toronto’s waterfront designed by Moriyama Teshima Architects with Acton Ostry Architects, George Brown College took on a bolder mandate than might be expected of a public college.- Hiwa, a recreation centre for the University of Auckland, was also commissioned through an international design competition, won by Toronto-based MJMA with New Zealand’s Warren and Mahoney. MJMA partner Ted Watson notes how the university sought to create a place that would be able to support competition-level athletes and host international events. At the same time, they also wanted to create a welcoming place that would integrate Maori cultural knowledge, and contribute to the holistic wellbeing of students that didn’t necessarily identify as athletes.- Client vision was also key to the Sara Jackman Playground, designed by PLANT Architect as part of the University of Toronto’s Dr. Eric Jackman Institute of Child Study Lab School. Unlike a typical school board or municipal client, which might prioritize the minimization of risk, the institute worked with the architects to create a play space that would advance best practices in designing for imaginative, open-ended play.- How can the structure of a procurement agency contribute to design quality? Kyle Lewkowich shares learnings from his time as a senior architect with Manitoba’s Public Schools Finance Board. It is my thesis that when capital planning entities are staffed by architects with specialized knowledge of their typology, the procurement and delivery of projects can be at once innovative, client-centred, and cost-effective, writes Lewkowich, in a piece that explores how his team’s expertise contributed to a new golden age of school design in the province.- MJMA’s project in New Zealand along with the Mutual Recognition Agreements coming into place with the UK and Europe this year, and chilling trade relationship with the United States had us thinking about the potential of Canadian architects working further afield. We spoke to Ian Chodikoff and Jack Renteria about how Canadian firms can best strategize to expand their practices globally.- Our September issue includes a review of the CCA’s documentary film and exhibition trilogy Groundwork, which wraps up in Montreal this fall. And to cap it off, we travel to Osaka to look at Canada’s contribution to the Osaka 2025 World Expo.
