“The idea is to find things that are unique to B “The idea is to find things that are unique to Belleville, such as the connections to the water from the street.” Our revitalization of Belleville’s historic downtown improves the visibility and usefulness of the city’s plentiful off-street laneways and linkages. With new material surfaces and updated street infrastructure, the redesign bolsters local businesses, creating a “landscape for making a living.” Learn more about the downtown Belleville revitalization at link in our bio! Thank you @unilock for sharing some of these beautiful shots! 📷 . . . #bayofquinte #moirariver #belleville #easthill #downtown #architecture #ontario #canada #urbandesign #urbanism #revitalization
🎉 Celebrating 20 years of #YongeDundasSquare! 🎶A lively hub for concerts, festivals, protests, & more, hosting 38 million pedestrians annually, the square has become a vital part of public life in #Toronto. #urbandesign #publiclife #downtowntoronto
The distinct neighbourhood near the intersection o The distinct neighbourhood near the intersection of Carlaw Avenue and Dundas is wedged between conventional residential neighbourhoods and a historic railway corridor. Once the site of Toronto’s earliest factories, the former industrial zone has become densely populated, but the space remains unfriendly with narrow sidewalks and few meaningful public spaces. In our study with Rodger Todhunter and Associates, we propose a number of measures to create a vibrant public realm in this quarter, including: 🔸Widening sidewalks, adding trees and bike lanes 🔸Creating an open circuit of sidewalks that connect existing park fragments 🔸Transforming the underutilized 1,000-square metre space into a public square Read the full plan to connect and revitalize the Carlaw-Dundas Quarter at the link in our bio.

There is no distinction between pedestrian and veh There is no distinction between pedestrian and vehicular space on Wilson Avenue between Keele and Dufferin streets in Toronto. With drivers frequently turning into adjacent strip mall parking lots, sidewalk users along Wilson Avenue experience continuous interruptions that put their safety at risk. Working with Scott Torrance Landscape Architects, our recommendations for Wilson Avenue include: - Eliminating redundant driveways to reduce vehicular interruptions - Widening sidewalks to increase pedestrian comfort - Building architectural screen walls to keep cars off the sidewalk - Building inclined ‘green’ verges delineate vehicular and pedestrian space View our 3 design alternatives for safer, greener sidewalks on Wilson Avenue at the link in our bio. #urbandesign #architecture #pedestriansafety #toronto #placemaking #cityplanning #design #landscapedesign #landscapearchitecture #archilovers #urbanism #city #sustainability #publicspace
Poppies are blooming at Holodomor Memorial Park, l Poppies are blooming at Holodomor Memorial Park, located in the CNE grounds near the Prince's Gates. "The 3 Millstone Gardens represent themes of Remembrance, Resilience and Renascence. These provide a narrative of the Holdomor and its legacy, with links to information and resources through scannable QR codes sited in each garden. Ornamental screens created by artists Anastasia Zaiats, Brad Emsley, and Rhonda Weppler further interpret each theme in the gardens." - Holodomor Research & Education Consortium
It was an honour to receive the Wayne Scott Commun It was an honour to receive the Wayne Scott Community Service Award in recognition of our community design work, including our Avenue Road study & the revitalization of St. George Street. We're pleased to donate the $1,000 award to the Thorncliffe Park Autism Support Network! The first narrowing of a major street in Toronto, the revitalization of St. George Street raised the possibility of restoring a balance between the pedestrian, the cyclist, & the car— a model for more safe streets to come. #architecture #urbandesign #streetscapes #toronto #communityservice
