    Association of Architecture School Librarians 2015 Annual Conference Report Prepared by Jen Wong, Director, Materials Lab School of Architecture, The University of Texas at Austin 2015 Recipient of the Frances Chen AASL Conference Travel Award The 2015 annual conference of the Association of Architecture School Librarians was held in Toronto, Ontario, for the first time since its inaugural meeting thirty-seven years ago. The conference was held in the center of downtown at the Sheraton Centre Toronto from March 17 through March 19, with forty-eight representatives from forty institutions in attendance. Among the attendees were architecture, art, engineering, planning, and fashion librarians, professors of architecture, archivists, catalogers, directors of visual resource and materials collections, and representatives of print and online publications. The weather was gorgeous for the duration of the conference – bright and brisk – and our Toronto-based hosts did a wonderful job of showing us their city. As in the past, the 2015 conference program offered a balance of activities that included presentations, tours, and opportunities for networking. The conference kicked off Tuesday morning with a brunch featuring guest speaker Shawn Micallef, recent author of The Trouble with Brunch: Work, Class, and the Pursuit of Leisure. Micallef gave a lighthearted talk about Toronto, his adopted home, introducing projects that have sought to understand or explain the city’s development in a meaningful way through unconventional means. His talk was followed by a presentation by Cindy Derrenbacker of Laurentian University, who introduced the life and work of Toronto-based architect Raymond Moriyama. The presentation provided a knowledge base that was useful in understanding many of the projects visited during the conference, including the Bata Shoe Museum, the Toronto Reference Library, and the Aga Khan Museum – significant, landmark buildings designed by his firm Moriyama & Teshima Architects.

  • The Joint Venture of Moriyama & Teshima Architects of Toronto
    Architects The joint venture of Moriyama & Teshima Architects of Toronto and Griffiths Rankin Cook Architects of Ottawa was formed to design the New Canadian War Museum. Raymond Moriyama and Alexander Rankin, partners of the two firms, had known each other for many years and were looking for a suitable project on which they could collaborate. This significant national project was a golden opportunity. Over the last two years incredible progress has been made in design and construction thanks to the client and, in particular, Joe Geurts, Director and CEO of the Canadian War Museum, the project manager, construction manager, contractors, all the workers, the National Capital Commission, the consultants, and our staff. The structure has been received with great enthusiasm and excitement, especially from the construction workers and, of course, the veterans. For the architects and the whole team, hearing this kind of excitement for a project is rare and very inspiring. Raymond Moriyama, with the assistance of Alexander Rankin, is leading the overall team. With over 70 people in the two firms, the joint venture has dedicated considerable resources to the project. The combined team includes Diarmuid Nash, Alex Leung, Earl Reinke, among many others. Our team of on-site staff is working closely with the construction team, often on a minute-to-minute basis, to enable quality construction of all the details in this challenging design of angled walls and three-dimensional junctions. An extensive multi-disciplinary team has been working with the joint venture to make the project a success, including many specialist consultants and engineers, especially Adjeleian Allen Rubeli, the structural engineer, The Mitchell Partnership, the mechanical engineer, and Crossey Engineering, the electrical engineer.
