    2008 Special thanks to our volunteer photographers: Alan Dunlop (including cover), Catherine Guillame Chow, Dario Sante and Julian Sale. DAREarts EMPOWERING AT RISK CHILDREN DAREarts is arts education that empowers ‘at risk’ children. This is the best day of my life. DAREarts child, 9 DAREarts dares children to make positive choices in their lives through educational experiences in art, architecture, dance, drama, design, fashion, literature, music, – all the arts. You are saving this child from the wrong crowd. Principal DAREarts is a national, not-for-profit organization which stands for Discipline, Action and Responsibility in Education. DAREarts’ 5-year all-the-arts program empowers ‘at risk’ 9–14 year olds who have been chosen from elementary schools in less advantaged areas to become leaders. The children paint, sculpt, sing, dance, compose, design, write, act and create as they ‘travel’ through the centuries exploring world cultures, guided by arts professionals. The children gain self esteem and leadership skills and then return to their schools to teach their classmates. Since 1996, DAREarts has flourished in Ontario and is expanding across Canada, influencing over 10,000 children yearly.

The Kettle Moraine High School choirs visited New York this past St. Patrick’s Day weekend. Our EPT Tour Escort was friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, flexible and lots of fun to be with! The little things – incidental information, local perspective, stopping for a hot dog and papaya juice – those kinds of ‘extras’ are what make a trip memorable and unique. Our Tour Escort helped to make this the trip of a lifetime for many of us. The EPT Customized Workshops & Master Classes are what attracted us to your organization, and we were not disappointed.

  • Harbour Square Park York Quay Square Park Development (2013) (2013) (1969) Framework (1979) Intricacy Variety of Materials
    Executive Summary The objective of this report is to investigate the evolution of uses on two waterfront public spaces. These case studies are located in close proximity on Toronto’s Central Waterfront and are similar in size, but reflect radically different planning ideals and design methods. Harbour Square Park York Quay Harbour Square Park was developed as an afterthought to a public private partnership between the City of Toronto, the Toronto Harbourfront Commission and Campeau Corporation. It is surrounded by high rise, high density buildings that enclose the public realm of Harbour Square Park. The public space has been incrementally upgraded over the years by the City of Toronto. The other study area is York Quay, located between the Harbourfront Centre and redeveloped mixed use Queens Quay Terminal. York Quay was originally a parking lot for these two structures and was redeveloped by Waterfront Toronto in 2006 as a public space designed by West 8 and DTAH. The study area is characterized by the programming and temporary markets provided by the Harbourfront Centre. The contrasting approaches to public space redevelopment is significant to the research study, which was guided by the following research questions: • How have the techniques, methods and ideologies evolved in waterfront public space design in Toronto? • What components drive public use in Harbour Square Park and York Quay? • What design interventions can improve these two waterfront public spaces in the future? Research Methods and Evaluation Framework Ten evaluation criteria provided the framework for analyzing the past and present use of Harbour Square Park and York Quay. They were derived from the principles of Urban Strategies’ Central Waterfront Public Space Framework (2003) prepared for Waterfront Toronto.

  • Case Study Toronto, Ontario, Canada Toronto, Canada Nami Seating Dealer: SCI Interiors Audience Tables Markham, Ontario, Canada Altos & Optos Architectural Walls
    client designer/dealer products featured Corus Entertainment Interior Design: Quadrangle Leverage workstations Media and Entertainment Architects, Ltd. District storage Case Study Toronto, Ontario, Canada Toronto, Canada Nami seating Dealer: SCI Interiors Audience Tables Markham, Ontario, Canada Altos & Optos architectural walls The Project With the intention of transforming both technology and operations, Corus Entertainment consolidated 11 dispersed sites in an eight- storey, 500,000 square foot office and broadcast center on the Toronto waterfront. Corus needed a space that would act as a catalyst in the evolution of its business model and culture, breaking down divisional silos by bringing 1,100 employees together in a single space and removing barriers to interaction. Corus also targeted LEED® Gold certification for its new state-of-the-art facility. The Challenges The Corus project presented an inspiring challenge to create an engaging, adaptable and healthy workplace that would facilitate collaboration, creativity and esprit de corps. To achieve that goal, Corus worked with Quadrangle Architects and Teknion to apply a range of design solutions that would clearly brand the space and encourage people to move around and work anywhere. The ability to work anywhere at any time was now possible given the virtualization of Corus’ data on a common digital platform, an evolutionary leap that could be leveraged through smart design choices, including furniture. Any furniture solution had to express Corus’ unique corporate culture and address the diverse needs of people whose jobs range from Accounting to Animation. The project was driven by Corus’ values—knowledge, innovation, initiative, teamwork and accountability—and a desire to “do the right thing.” Furniture was an integral part of the company’s sustainability initiative and key to the LEED Gold CI target.
