Waking the Shore, our proposal for re-imagining under the Gardiner Expressway at York Street in Toronto is one of three shortlisted designs for the space. Developed in collaboration with DIALOG and Mulvey & Banani Lighting, our pilot installation creatively re-purposes tires in an expressive placemaking gesture to suggest new ways of conceiving public space in our cities for the 21st century. The competition survey is live until January 19th. Please hop on and provide your comments!

The public survey for the National Monument to Canada’s Mission in Afghanistan closes June 9th.
We’re honoured to be a part of this project with Adrian Stimson and the MBTW Group.
Team Stimson’s collective goal has been to imagine an enduring tribute to honour the commitment and sacrifice of Canadian Armed Forces, public servants and civilians in helping to rebuild Afghanistan.
This goal includes recognizing the support offered by families, friends, and communities in Canada and the people of Afghanistan.
Our hope through our design for ‘Home Base’ is that we have honoured Canada’s gratitude for the sacrifices made by Canadians who lost their lives or were injured. To examine and understand the mission, to create a place where all people can gather to learn, reflect, remember and heal.
