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.

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 |
