2008 TSA Poster Competition

Heritage - Design competition

The Toronto Society of Architects, in association with the Design Industry Advisory Committee (DIAC) and Heritage Toronto, held a design competition to celebrate and to raise awareness for heritage issues. The purpose of the competition was to generate an image that draws attention to the value of our historic, built environment and illustrates how it might be protected and re-used through environmentally-sustainable, economically-beneficial and innovative solutions.

The competition was based on the idea that protecting our heritage resources – buildings, structures, landscapes, and neighborhoods – is fundamentally about enhancing the meaning and quality of life, maintaining a unique sense of place, supporting the cultural and economic vitality of our cities, and improving the health and sustainability of the environments we inhabit.

Recognizing that heritage conservation hinges on generating public awareness, the posters created through this competition will be used for this purpose, by the Toronto Society of Architects, by Heritage Toronto, and by other similar organizations, through exhibits, promotions, and printed materials.
