2009 TSA Poster Competitiongreendesign The Toronto Society of Architects (TSA), in association with the Canada Green Building Council - Greater Toronto Chapter (CaGBC-GTC), and the Design Industry Advisory Committee (DIAC), held its fourth annual poster design competition to promote and raise awareness around green buildings and sustainable design. Sustainable design spans an incredible range. From the design of small objects for everyday use, through to the design of buildings, neighbourhoods, cities, and natural environments; the impact of sustainable design can affect all members of society. This competition was based on the idea that sustainable design is an integrated process that is fundamentally about improving the quality of life, maintaining a unique sense of place, supporting the cultural and economic vitality of our communities, and improving the health and sustainability of the environments we inhabit. The 2009 competition invited submissions to produce an image to draw attention to the value of green design and illustrate how design can enhance economic, social and ecological sustainability. A record number of submissions from over 30 countries were received. Finalists were selected on the basis of originality and creativity in describing, representing or suggesting the theme; design excellence; and design adaptability in whole or part for other media applications or formats. Recognizing that green design hinges on generating public awareness, the posters created through this competition will be used for this purpose, by the Toronto Society of Architects, by the CaGBC-GTC, and by other similar organizations, through exhibits, promotions, and printed materials. Congratulations to all of the winners!
