Nathan Phillips Square Design Competition Finalists' Design Submissions

Archiseek / Canada / News / 2007 / February 21

In 2006 the City of Toronto organised an international design competition for the revitalization of Nathan Phillips Square. The Square is the premier public space and civic gathering place for Torontonians, a leading tourist attraction for the City, and a national and provincial landmark.

The design competition was an international, two-stage open process, with submissions to both stages to be evaluated by a Competition Jury who will select the winning design and design team. Four outstanding design teams were selected as finalists to compete in Stage II of the international competition to revitalize this important public space.

Selected images from each of the four finalists' submissions for Stage II of the Nathan Phillips Square Design Competition is now available.

A public exhibition of the submissions and design models is also on display in the Rotunda of Toronto City Hall, opening on February 20th, 2007 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. and continuing from February 21-26th, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Members of the public are invited to submit their views on the design proposals by filling in a public comment card that is available on the city website or in the City Hall Rotunda.
