Awards seasons continues and the call for nominations went out last week for the biannual
Toronto Urban Design Awards.
The awards are meant to recognize design, architecture and landscapes.
"The Toronto Urban Design Awards is an exciting program that recognizes the important contribution made by the design and development community to the look, livability and vitality of Toronto," said Robert Freedman, Toronto's director of urban design. "I'm pleased as well to encourage design students to enter theoretical or studio projects relating to Toronto."
The categories are
private and
public buildings in context,
small open spaces, large open spaces and neighbourhood design,
visions and master plans, student projects and "elements," which includes smaller design features like benches, fences, light fixtures and works of art.
Nominations close May 19, and the winners will be announced September 19.
