MTA is pleased to take part in Preservation? Modernist Heritage and Modern Toronto Symposium, happening over a 2-day period later this month at the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design. This event is centred around the challenges of preserving Modern architectural heritage in rapidly growing cities like Toronto, where accelerated development, gentrification, high demand for housing and urban expansion pose significant threats.
On Saturday November 23rd, Session 2 Modern Heritage at Risk in Toronto The Cases of Ontario Place and the Ontario Science Centre will take place in the morning, including presentations by Marge Zeidler, of Urbanspace Property Group, Jane Wolff of the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design, Floyd Ruskin of “Save the Science Centre” grassroots group, and MTA Partner Brian Rudy (pictured), who will speak beginning at 11:10AM on the Architecture of firm founder Raymond Moriyama’s landmark building, the Ontario Science Centre. Our team has been active in the discussion of preserving the original Science Centre building, located in Don Mills, not only for the significant cultural and architectural value it represents to our city but also as a key piece of community infrastructure that promotes education, activity, and a connection to nature for all ages to enjoy.
