Nota di contenuto Front matter -- Contents -- Foreword / Zardini, Mirko -- Building Cities, Making Friends / Kingwell, Mark -- Maturity: a Commentary / Baird, George -- Opposable Minds / Fisher, Thomas -- CULTURE & MEMORY -- The purpose of art is not the release of a momentary ejection of adrenaline but rather the gradual, lifelong construction of a state of wonder and serenity. / Gould, Glenn -- TIFF Bell Lightbox and Festival Tower, Toronto -- Royal Conservatory TELUS Centre for Performance and Learning, Toronto -- Gardiner Museum, Toronto -- Young Centre for the Performing Arts, Toronto -- Canada's National Ballet School, Toronto -- Canadian Museum of Nature, Ottawa -- Orchestra Hall Renewal, Minneapolis -- Remai Art Gallery of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon -- CAMPUS & COMMUNITY -- What makes life worthwhile and enables civilizations to endure are all the elements and qualities that have poor returns under commercial metrics: universities, temples, poetry, choirs, parks, literature, language, museums, terraced fields, long marriages, line dancing and art. Nearly everything humans hold valuable is slow to develop and slow to change. / Hawken, Paul -- Vaughan City Hall, Vaughan -- Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) Campus, Waterloo -- Centennial College Applied Research and Innovation Centre, Scarborough -- The Study at Yale Hotel, New Haven -- Joseph L. Rotman School of Management Expansion, Toronto -- Mike & Ophelia Lazaridis Quantum-Nano Centre, Waterloo -- Kellogg School of Management, Evanston -- 20 Washington Road, Princeton -- VERTICAL NEIGHBOURHOODS -- The soul of a city is about the finding of intimacy and stimulation in the streets that are a wardrobe and not just a place of business; on the shorelines that lyrically address the urban; in the residences that speak conviviality; under skylines that don't intimidate, but invite aspiration. / Giorgio Di Cicco, Pier -- Le Quartier Concordia, Montreal -- 180 Queen Street West, Toronto -- Torys LLP Offices, Toronto -- SugarCube, Denver -- Gluskin Sheff + Associates Offices, Toronto -- 18 York and Southcore Financial Centre, Toronto -- Toronto Community Housing, Block 32, Toronto -- The Globe and Mail Centre, Toronto -- INTEGRATED DESIGN -- ... the collective knowledge, capability, and resources embodied within broad horizontal networks of participants can be mobilized to accomplish much more than one firm acting alone. Whether designing an airplane, assembling a motorcycle, or analyzing a human genome, the ability to integrate the talents of dispersed individuals and organizations is becoming the defining competency... / Tapscott, Don / Williams, Anthony D. -- Manitoba Hydro Place, Winnipeg -- George Brown College, Waterfront Campus, Toronto -- Bridgepoint Health, Toronto -- Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario, Toronto -- 2015 Pan/Parapan American Games Athletes' Village/Canary District, Toronto -- Staff Since 1987 -- Project Credits -- About KPMB -- Clients, Collaborators, Projects Since 1987 -- Selected Bibliography -- Contributors -- Illustration Credits -- Acknowledgements
