Design matters – Design competition

In 2007 the Toronto Society of Architects, in association with the Design Industry Advisory Committee (DIAC) held a design competition to celebrate and emphasize ‘design matters’.

The purpose was to generate an image that celebrates architecture and design in Toronto, by engaging any, and all of, the design disciplines, including: architects, graphic designers, landscape architects, fashion designers, interior designers, artists.

The backdrop to the competition was the celebration of the TSA’s 120th Anniversary, and our ongoing collaboration with DIAC and the other professional design associations.
