Topics: Honours & Awards

Length: 1 hour | What's included: Video, Quiz, Certificate of Completion

Join the RAIC in our inaugural Showcase series, a collaboration between Continuing Education and Honours and Awards programs. The series, running from September to November 2022, aims to shed light on the amazing projects and practices receiving recognition today, and on the people, and their motivations and ideas behind them. Our first session, on September 13th, 2022, features the National Urban Design’s Civic Design Award certificate of merit winning CF Toronto Eaton Centre Bridge by Zeidler Architecture and WilkinsonEyre.  

David Collins from Zeidler Architecture and Dominic Bettison from WilkinsonEyre will present their project, followed by a moderated discussion with RAIC Honours and Awards Manager, and recently licensed architect, Amanda Shore, and conclude with a Q&A session with event participants. In this 90-minute session, we plan to delve into the story behind the finished project and talk about the creative and design process within the scope of an entire project. This program seeks to educate architects, intern architects, and non-architects alike, making ‘architecture,’ and all it encompasses, more accessible and engaging to everyone. 

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:

  • Describe the design process and inspirations behind the CF Toronto Eaton Centre Bridge
  • Compare the merits of the alternate creative options and key considerations that went into the new bridge design
  • Recognize the municipal limitations involved in architectural projects in large city centres
  • Identify the benefits of creating mock-ups and testing out various materials as part of the design process.
