SUMMARY:Culture Talks: Art\, Architecture\, the Public Realm and Social Infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:Culture Talks continues conversations between artists\, architects\, designers\, city builders and urbanists\, shining a light on exemplary buildings\, public art. Brook McIlroy Architects approach design and planning from a broad\, holistic perspective. As architects\, landscape architects\, planners\, and urban designers it was the only way they felt they could address the complexity of communities\, cities and the diverse\, interconnected natural and human-made ecologies that we inhabit. Working in the medium of the built and natural environments they create environments where people can prosper and thrive while protecting the land\, water\, air and the other species that make life possible. Their work is driven by a uniquely Canadian design ethos derived from research into place\, diverse cultures\, Indigenous world views\, sustainability\, natural materials\, and the application of new technologies. They hold offices in Toronto\, Thunder Bay and Winnipeg.
