Thanks to everyone who attended The Future of Art and Urban Spaces, a multidisciplinary discussion panel about supporting Toronto’s endangered cultural spaces, co-hosted by ERA’s Art=Waterfront initiative, The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery, and writer and curator Alex Bowron.

Last night, a splendid gathering of Toronto’s architectural and heritage community feted the publication of "Toronto Edwardian: Frank Darling, Architect of Canada’s Imperial Age" in the delightful ballroom of the old Christie mansion (now Regis College).

Remarks by Tamara Anson-Cartwright, Michael McClelland, and the book’s author, David Winterton, were rousingly concluded with a woodwind duet performed by students from the Glenn Gould School.

Thank you to all who joined us for the book launch and for helping inaugurate our new favourite cocktail, the Darling Fizz! The first monograph on Frank Darling is published by McGill-Queen’s University Press and proudly supported by ERA Architects.

The day has finally come! After years of research, analysis, writing, and travel, real copies of Toronto Edwardian: Frank Darling Architect of Canada’s Imperial Age have landed at ERA! 
 
We couldn’t be happier with the result.
 
There are so many people to thank, including: the team at MQUP; Sean Blank and Daniela Risi as the project’s steadfast research assistants; and of course the leadership and staff at ERA for supporting this project that will finally shed light on this important Canadian architect.
The book contains fine contemporary photography from Sean Galbraith, Brent Wagler, Ben Rahn of A-Frame and Nigel Molaro of ERA.
 
We’re so looking forward to celebrating at the book launch next week!

At the heart of the University of Toronto’s St. George Campus, King’s College Circle has long been a defining open space, a ceremonial landscape, and a daily crossroads for generations of students. 

The Landmark Project reimagines this historic setting for the next century of campus life. A coordinated series of landscape transformations removed vehicles from the Circle, restored it as a pedestrian-focused green space, and created new opportunities for gathering, reflection, and movement through the campus core. Below the renewed lawn, a new underground parking structure integrates essential infrastructure discreetly within the historic urban landscape.
